"The emperor cannot let Jingli have any connection with Nanzhao. Even without Princess Lingyun, it would not be possible to point Princess Qixia to him." As if he understood Ye Li's doubts, Mo Xiuyao said lightly beside her, "Nanzhao is mostly barbarians. It is said that the country is weak and the people are actually very tough. It is just that the number of people is too small, so it is difficult to make a climate." Ye Li whispered: "The emperor does not want Prince Li to have something to do with Nanzhao? But Xiling seems to be stronger than Nanzhao." Mo Xiuyao laughed in a low voice: "Xiling and Dachu are enemies. Unless Mo Jingli treason, Xiling cannot give him any benefits. What's more, the emperor does not want a prince with Xiling blood in the royal heir."

Ye Li suddenly realized and looked at Mo Jingli with some sympathy. It seemed that the emperor's younger brother did not reassure his emperor brother so much.

Mo Xiuyao smiled softly and said, "Ali, your heart is too soft. There has never been ambitions in the royal family."

Ye Li was stunned, thought carefully about Mo Xiuyao's words, and looked at Mo Jingli with a little more thoughtful look. But... Mo Jingli's mind really wants such a complicated thing? Or is he always pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

When he returned to the Ding King's Mansion, Ye Li couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. But half a day spent in the palace was even more tired than the month she added. After saying goodbye to Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li returned to her yard, Madam Lin and Madam Wei immediately brought people to welcome her. Obviously, what happened in the palace in the afternoon had been sent back to the Prince's Mansion. The two madams glanced all over Ye Li with concern and confirmed that she was indeed safe and sound before she felt relieved. Ye Li had no choice but to ask for a midnight snack to fill her stomach. Madam Lin waved her hand and asked someone to send her a portion of chicken porridge that had obviously prepared long ago. Ye Li looked at the chicken porridge that had three people in front of her, "Madam, although I am very hungry, I will not suddenly become so edible."

Madam Wei glanced at her dissatisfiedly and said, "Princess, do you think you are the only one who will be hungry?"

Ye Li blinked blankly, Qingluan and the others had already gone down to have a meal.

Madam Wei, with a look of regret, stuffed the chicken porridge into her hands with a tray, and said, "The princess has gone to the study, so the princess should send it to her for a meal with the prince."

"This...isn't needed. I'll just have someone give it to A Jin."

"Princess!" Madam Lin stared at Ye Li with a serious face and said, "You are the prince's wife. How can you pretend to deal with others in such a midnight snack? Did the second wife forget to call you a wife when she was in the Xu family?" Looking at Madam Lin's expression of being ready for Balabala to preach, Ye Li quickly picked up the porridge and said, "Madam, I understand, I'll send it to the prince now." Without waiting for Madam Lin to react, she ran out with chicken porridge. Ye Li felt very wronged. Both madams were nagging, but compared to the wet nurse, Ye Li was more afraid of Madam Lin who followed her mother. As long as she opened her mouth, she would definitely quote the scriptures and read the truth and bow her head to admit the wrong position. Idle people would definitely not be able to withstand such double attacks of language and spirit.

He walked in the corridor of the palace helplessly with midnight snacks. The girls behind him were also very sensible and followed each other at a distance of not far or near. Mo Xiuyao still lived in the yard where he lived before the wedding, right next to Ye Li's yard. So before Ye Li could finish complaining, he was already standing outside Mo Xiuyao's study room. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Mo Xiuyao's voice came from inside, "Is it A Li? Come in."

When he pushed the door open, Mo Xiuyao was holding up his pen and writing something under the candlelight. Seeing Ye Li come in, he looked up at her and asked, "Why didn't he rest?"

Ye Li walked over and put the things in her hand aside and asked, "Have you disturbed you?"

Mo Xiuyao shook his head, looked at the thing on the table and raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Are you here to send me some midnight snacks?"

Somehow, Ye Li's face felt slightly hot, and she pretended to be plain and asked back: "What? Can't I send you midnight snack?"

Mo Xiuyao shook his head, put down his pen and smiled, "I'm just curious about how Ali would give me midnight snacks on his own initiative? Well... No wonder no one thought of giving me some food after I've been back for so long. Sure enough, others were too lazy to worry about it after marrying the princess." Ye Li gave him helplessly and said, "Do you eat or not?" Mo Xiuyao nodded, "How could the princess deliver it personally be a gift of not eating?"

The two sat down at the table. Ye Li took two bowls and handed them a bowl of porridge to Mo Xiuyao first. Although they have been eating together almost every day these days, it is the first time they have had a midnight snack together. While eating porridge, Mo Xiuyao thought for a while and said, "If there is nothing to do tomorrow, how about going to meet my sister-in-law with me?" Ye Li nodded and said, "I should really go to see my sister-in-law after so long. I hope my sister-in-law won't blame me." Mo Xiuyao shook his head, "My sister-in-law won't care about these things."

"What do I need to prepare?" Ye Li asked.

Mo Xiuyao shook his head, "We just go to see my sister-in-law."

Thinking of the unmasked sister-in-law, Ye Li could only sigh in her heart. A woman makes her life look like she has withered at her most beautiful age, which really makes people sigh.

"How did you deal with that palace maid tonight?" After thinking for a while, Ye Li asked the palace maid who blocked the road in the palace tonight. Mo Xiuyao frowned and said, "That's not the palace maid in the palace."

"No?" Ye Li was surprised. When has the palace become a place where outsiders can enter and exit at will? Can the emperor sleep at night? Mo Xiuyao smiled and said, "It's not a palace maid registered in the palace, but it doesn't mean she is not a person in the palace. Some capable people in the palace always have a few unknown trump cards in their hands."

"But, that palace maid doesn't seem to be anything outstanding."

Mo Xiuyao said lightly: "Sometimes, people who have no outstanding places are the trump card."

"Can't ask who it is?"

"It's a dead soldier." Mo Xiuyao said, Ye Li knew that if the dead soldier failed his mission, he would have to die, so naturally he couldn't ask anything.

"However, people who can have such a dead man in the palace don't understand. So Ali... If you have to enter the palace in the future, remember to be careful."

"I understand." Ye Li nodded, she had no hobby of seeking death.

Wen, the former Princess Ding, did not live in the Ding King's Mansion. As early as the second year after Mo Xiuwen's death, Wen moved to Wuyue Temple outside the city to practice on the grounds of being sad. She also had two side rooms of Mo Xiuwen. Since moving to Wuyue Temple, in fact, except for Mo Xiuwen's death day every year, Wen has never returned to the Ding King's Mansion. A few years ago, Mo Xiuyao kept staying in the door for many reasons, so although he respected this sister-in-law, he was not familiar with him.
