I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 18 Conspiracy
Pang Xiaoyu was intimidated by Mo Ruyan's aura, her face pale, and she forced herself to speak: "Princess, please don't misunderstand me. How dare Xiaoyu frame you? I'm just concerned about you."

"Caring, haha, you really care about this princess. You use this princess's innocence to stir up trouble, trying to use words to guide everyone to frame this princess, and you dare to say it is a misunderstanding?" Mo Ruyan's tone was as cold as a knife, and her momentum was tough.

At this moment, Han Qingxue, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, stepped forward with a conciliatory smile on her face. "Princess Ruyan, please don't be angry. Xiaoyu was just being blunt and outspoken. She didn't mean any harm. Please forgive her this time."

Mo Ruyan opened her mouth to say something, but Princess Yan Yan spoke.

"Even if her original intention was good, she shouldn't have made such a fuss about the princess in public. How can it be so disrespectful? What if others overheard it? For the sake of the Minister of Works, I will slap her ten times this time, and I will do it myself. This will not happen again."

"Thank you, Princess Seventh."

Pang Xiaoyu didn't dare to refute Princess Yan Yan's opinion, and immediately slapped herself in the face. Two bright red palm prints suddenly appeared on her delicate face.

The people around him looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, pretending not to see anything.

Some people who didn't have a good relationship with the Pang family felt secretly happy when they saw Pang Xiaoyu being humiliated.

But some smart people have already noticed it.

Although Princess Yan Yan punished Pang Xiaoyu openly, she actually protected her.

You must know that once she is found guilty of framing the princess, and Prince Wu's Mansion investigates her, the Pang family will also suffer.

This matter is not big or small.

Now Princess Yan Yan asked her to slap herself ten times in public as a punishment. If Prince Wu's Mansion wanted to investigate the matter afterwards, it would be disrespecting the Seventh Princess.

Lai Yang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Good guy, you slandered the princess, slapped her in the face ten times, and even hit yourself?

It is obvious that he is deliberately favoring Pang Xiaoyu by treating her so lightly.

I had previously thought that the two of them seemed to have a good relationship, and I really thought Ruyan had a very good relationship with them.

It turns out that they are just sisters in name only, but each one is more sinister than the other, and each one is more ruthless than the other in stabbing people in the back.

Women have the most vicious hearts.

At this moment, he felt a hint of chill in the wind.

"Sister Ruyan, are you satisfied with this treatment?" Yan Yan turned to look at Mo Ruyan with a smile on her face.

Mo Ruyan was angry, but she couldn't express it, so she could only suppress it.

From everyone's reactions, she vaguely guessed something and her face looked a little ugly.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of me. I suddenly feel a little unwell, so I have to leave now." Mo Ruyan said goodbye.

She couldn't stay in this crappy poetry gathering for even a second.

"I'll send someone off to you."

"No need, Your Highness, please stay. The carriage is waiting outside the garden."

After saying that, Mo Ruyan pulled Lai Yang and turned away.

At this moment, the saying is truly true: come with excitement and leave with disappointment.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Yan Yan's mouth curled up in a subtle arc.

"Your Highness Yan Yan, they just left like that."

"Sister Ruyan is not feeling well, so we can't force her to stay. Everyone, enjoy yourself."

Soon, the two left the manor and got back on the carriage of Prince Wu's Mansion.

"Uncle Xu, let's go back home."

Mo Ruyan looked like a punched bag, with her hands crossed in front of her chest, and her pretty cheeks puffed up with anger.

Seeing this, Xu Bo looked at Lai Yang in confusion: "What happened to the little princess? Who made the little princess so angry?" Lai Yang told Xu Bo everything that happened in the manor.

After hearing Lai Yang's words, Xu Bo fell into deep thought. Without saying anything more, he drove the carriage back to Prince Wu's Palace.

"Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I should have punched her in the face." Mo Ruyan said angrily, waving her fist and gritting her teeth.

"Seeing your conversation at the beginning, I thought you had a good relationship." Lai Yang looked at Mo Ruyan and smiled helplessly.

"Hmph, it's just some showmanship. Those guys are all so hypocritical, saying one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. That's why I don't like the Imperial City. I prefer Beijiang City, which is more comfortable. If I have the chance, I'll take you to Beijiang City. Besides being a little cold, Beijiang City is many times better than the Imperial City."

Speaking of Beijiang City, Mo Ruyan's face was filled with pride.

Lai Yang nodded.

"Really? If I have the chance, I'd like to go and see it."

"When we return to Beijiang City, you can come with us. Beijiang City is vast and serves as the front line against the northern barbarians. There will definitely be opportunities for you to show your skills there."

"We'll see then."

"I'll take it as your agreement, then it's settled."

Mo Ruyan said happily.

Lai Yang was helpless and there was nothing he could do about her.

But for him, it doesn't matter where he goes now, as long as he can find a place where he can feel at ease.

After a few years, when he has the strength to rule the world, he won't have to be so restrained. He can take revenge and live freely.

Soon, the three of them returned to Prince Wu's Mansion, and their mood for the day was completely ruined.

After Xu Bopingan sent the two back to the mansion, he went to Lord Mo's study alone and happened to see several people leaving in a hurry.

When Xu Bo entered the study, he saw the wood chips scattered all over the floor and was slightly startled: "Your Highness, what happened?"

Lord Mo turned and looked at Xu Bo, a puzzled look on his face: "Xu Bo, why did you come back so soon? Didn't I ask you to protect Ruyan and Liuyang?"

"The young princess was upset at the poetry party, and both of them have returned home safely. This is..."

Mo Shenjun narrowed his eyes slightly, flashing a dangerous look. Without saying anything more, he threw the information in his hand to Xu Bo: "Take a look for yourself."

After carefully reading the information in his hand, Xu Bo sighed sadly. He suddenly understood why Lord Mo was so angry.

He hadn't seen Lord Mo so angry for a long time.

"Yu'er, this child, ah... what a pity, I didn't expect that the boy was really related to the eldest lady, but I didn't expect that the eldest lady would..." Xu Bo sighed softly.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

"I've already asked someone to take care of it. Uncle Xu, please don't act rashly."

Having said that, Lord Mo sat down again and looked at Xu Bo with a cold expression: "Uncle Xu, tell me, what happened over there?"

"Yeah, I also heard it from that kid Liu Yang."

Afterwards, Xu Bo recounted to Lord Mo what Lai Yang had told him.

Lord Mo listened quietly the entire time, his expression didn't change at all, but his eyes seemed to become increasingly cold, with a hint of chillness.

"I understand. I thought they would take action again, but I didn't expect them to be so impatient to target my Wuwang Mansion. These two incidents were just tests. I'm sorry for the girl Ruyan." Lord Mo sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, this imperial city is a dangerous place. We'd better leave as soon as possible."

"I never wanted to leave, but there are still some things to deal with and some accounts to settle."
