Too high to reach

Chapter 356, more to come.
The rhythm is disrupted.

The momentum is gone.

Wang felt the pressure from those in power, and she wondered: Isn't this her own daughter?
They're still his biological children!
Why am I a little afraid of her?

She regretted her impulsive decision to come, but... she was already here! "Your Majesty, do you know what happened to Wenwen yesterday?" she asked anxiously.

Mo Yi didn't speak, but just quietly looked at her.

Once she started speaking, Wang became emotional, and her voice rose in pitch: "Yesterday she came to see you, and on her way back, someone stabbed her with a knife. She was startled and ran wildly in the street, hitting people and almost throwing her off the carriage..."

At this point, Wang felt her heart pounding, "Thank God, we ran into Liang You just in time, and he saved Wenwen..."

Wang felt as if she were there herself and had survived a disaster: "This morning, Madam Xu picked us up. Good heavens, we were almost scared to death..." Tears streamed down her face.

Madam Zhou quickly took out her handkerchief. "Mother, please don't get too agitated."

Wang Shi snatched it away to wipe her tears, but her eyes were fixed on Mo Yi.

She... had no expression on her face, and sat there calmly.

I feel like my insides are burning up... What on earth is going on?

"Yiyi...no matter what grudges you sisters have, this is a matter of life and death. Can't you put aside those petty grievances and prioritize the important matter first?!"

“Mother, what you’re saying is ridiculous. Mowen and I have each started our own families and live our own lives. What petty grudges could we possibly have? Did Mowen tell you this?”

"No, no, no!" Madam Wang quickly denied, "Wenwen didn't say anything! It was Mother who guessed. Isn't that right? She miscarried last time... so her body hasn't fully recovered. And this pregnancy is in very bad shape, she should be resting at home!"
"If I really needed to speak with you, couldn't I have sent a maid? Couldn't I have invited you over to talk? Why did I have to come here of all places?"

“Well…you should ask her!” Mo Yi said.

"Yi Yi!? How could you be so heartless! She's your own sister..."

Finally, Wang burst into tears, her face filled with heartache for Mo Wen and resentment at Mo Yineng's heartlessness. She gestured with her hands, "Yesterday, when I saw her, I didn't dare to breathe... Her face was as white as paper, lying motionless on the bed, barely daring to breathe... The doctor said that luckily she was rescued in time, otherwise... otherwise..."

She clutched the handkerchief in her hand, pounding her chest. "I can't even say it! Just thinking about it makes my heart ache... Who understands the heart of a mother like me..."

She wiped her face with a handkerchief again, "And the doctor said that she can only lie like this from now on, and she can't get up to eat, drink, or use the toilet. Poor Wenwen..."

Mo Yi remained silent.

After this whole performance of singing, reciting, acting, and fighting, seeing that Mo Yi remained unmoved, Wang Shi became anxious again, "What did she come to see you for? She had an accident on her way back from here; you have to give her an explanation, don't you?"

“I didn’t explain,” Mo Yi said coldly. “And what about you?”

This is wrong!

Zhou quickly stood up and pressed Wang down, saying, "Mother, let's talk this out. Please don't get so agitated!"

Wang shoved Zhou aside and said sternly, "Mo Yi... Yes! You've made it big now! But you can't treat your own mother like this!? If word gets out..."

"Are you threatening me?" Moe asked calmly.

To be honest, Ms. Wang really didn't mean that!
But Mo Yi retorted without backing down, which angered her. "It's obvious that this matter is related to you! For no reason, Mo Wen dragged her sick body to see you. She went out and was then harmed, and it was Duke Yu'an who did it."

Mo Yi smiled: She didn't say that I was the one who did it.

"But how are Princess Yu'an and Wenwen connected? Isn't it all because of you?!"

These words made Mo Yi laugh in exasperation. "That's really not true!"

How could Madam Wang understand? "Princess Yu'an is your sister-in-law! Your lord and the crown prince are enemies! She couldn't find any trouble for you, so she went after Mo Wen." The more Madam Wang spoke, the more she felt she was right.

Mo Yi almost nodded in agreement; it really made sense.

"Otherwise, why would she harm Wenwen for no reason?"

"Hmm, that makes sense. So what do you want?"

"You?" Madam Wang blinked. "I...I didn't mean anything by it. But you have to explain yourself. You are, after all, a princess. Your sister suffered such a great loss at the hands of the princess, you have to get revenge for her."

“She is a princess, her brother is the crown prince, and her mother is the empress. I can’t get her back.”

"You!? Yi Yi... You can't have this attitude! It was your fault, so you have to take responsibility for her."

“I can’t take responsibility, but severing ties is possible. Let Mowen announce to the public that without me as her sister, she won’t be a burden to me anymore.” “Your Majesty! Mother didn’t mean that.” Zhou Shi couldn’t handle Wang Shi’s words and quickly tried to smooth things over. “Mother is just too worried about Wenwen. Just now, after hearing Madam Xu’s account, Princess Yu’an is indeed very suspicious.”

We're here now to ask you for some advice. Also, thinking back, Wenwen's miscarriage last time was quite suspicious. Could it be that someone was deliberately targeting her? Finding out will help us be on the safe side.”

She forcefully suppressed the agitated Wang.

Mo Yi stared intently at Madam Wang and said clearly, "Mo Wen knows the whole story perfectly well. If she still blames me, resents me, and doesn't follow Madam Xu's arrangements, and instead encourages her mother to cause trouble for me, then I can't guard against it. Even if nothing happens this time, there will be a next time."

"Shut up!" Wang shrieked, then with a crash, swept the teacups and bowls off the table. "That's your own sister! There's no one more heartless than you!"

Mo Yi wasn't surprised that her mother said or did these things, nor was she particularly angry.

But for some reason, a surge of blood rushed to my head.

With a retching sound, she sprayed out the snacks and tea she had just eaten before she didn't even have time to cover her mouth.

"Wang!" a loud voice shouted from the doorway. "What are you doing? Yi Yi..."

You can tell from the sound that Mo Ruhai has arrived!

After being notified, he did not return to the Mo family or the Xu family, but went directly to the Prince's Mansion.

I was planning to talk to Mo Yi and see what ideas her daughter had.

I heard from the door that my wife had arrived with my daughter-in-law. I rushed in, only to find my wife yelling and throwing things.

Then I saw Mo Yi vomit.

He was furious, barged inside, and shoved Wang Shi...

If Zhou hadn't been holding her back, she would have pushed Wang over.

"Yi Yi! What's wrong?" He went up to Mo Yi.

Hongyan and the other maids quickly got to work, some supporting Moyi, some gently patting her back, some cleaning, and some fetching basins and mouthwash.

Lady Wang was completely stunned... She had broken things in the Prince's residence, been pushed by her husband, and even made the Princess vomit...

"I...I didn't do anything!" Wang Shi didn't even care that her husband had pushed her.

The woman ran straight outside to fetch a doctor.

Mo Yi vomited up everything she had just swallowed, tears and snot streaming down her face. "Dad..." Her voice softened as soon as she saw her father.

"Daughter, quickly lie down on the bed, the doctor will be here soon. You all, carefully support her..."

Mo Yi stopped the maids from helping her up. "I'm fine. Father, it's nothing serious, don't be angry."

The girls were incredibly fast... they finished tidying up in the blink of an eye.

"Serve tea again," she ordered.

Mo Ruhai stormed over, demanding, "Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang was anxious, angry, ashamed, and furious; she wished she could faint, but she couldn't...

"Sir, I swear to God, I didn't do anything. It was Wenwen yesterday..."

"Shut up! You tell me!" Mo Ruhai pointed at Zhou Shi.

Zhou looked at Mo Yi and, seeing that she didn't object, repeated what Madam Xu had just said.

Mo Ruhai's face was extremely grim. "Everyone is upset about Wenwen's accident. Let's hear what the Xu family has to say and see what they do. It's normal for you to ask Yiyi. But what are you trying to do by throwing things and cursing like this? Is the Prince's Mansion a place for you to run wild?"
"It's only because the prince isn't home. Do you think you could dare do that in front of him? This is utterly lawless!"

Wang twisted her neck and wept, but she dared not speak again...

A short while later, the imperial physician arrived in a hurry, following Hongyan.

Mo Yi finally caught her breath and calmed down.

Upon seeing the doctor, a thought suddenly popped into my head...
