Chapter 24: Moved Heart, Marrying Her as a Concubine Wouldn't Be Bad Either

  At the critical moment, Yunmo dyed his foot and suddenly folded his upper body backwards at a 90-degree angle, barely avoiding the man's palm. Before the man could change his move, she kicked out with a swish of her foot and viciously kicked him in the vital part of his lower abdomen! The man let out a loud cry of pain, fell to the ground with a thud, covering his lower body and screaming loudly: "Ah! I'm dying of pain!"

  Young Master!

  "Protect the young master!"

  The guards were shocked and quickly rushed over to help him up. The man was not very old, and he looked quite handsome, but his face had a disgusting and lewd expression. He was Wen Chengzhi, the son of the Minister of the Board of War.

  He was kicked in the abdomen and Wen Cheng felt a sharp pain, his whole body covered in cold sweat. He jumped up and down, shouting: "Kill! Kill this bastard! Dare to kick Young Master... kill! Torture him to death!"

  Yun Mo muttered a sentence: Ning Huang Shu, I'm sorry! To save my life, I broke the promise I made to you. It was just an instinctive reaction...

  The wound on his left arm was bleeding profusely, and after a long time of fighting, Yun Mo Yan felt dizzy and his feet were also slightly floating. Damn Jun Wu! He actually abandoned me?

  A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Yun Mo's voice was loud and rough as he shouted: "Jun Men Zhu! Don't interfere with me! Take the things and leave first!"

  "Who's the master of the door? Don't ask who!" Everyone was shocked and suddenly there was a great commotion: "The Master of the Mysterious Gate has arrived! Be careful!"

  "The master of Cangshengmen kills people without blinking! Everyone be careful!"

  "Master, hurry back to your room! Beware of this demon!"

  "Haha!" Amidst the long, hearty laughter, Yun Mo Chen only felt a tightening around his waist before he was lifted into mid-air and instantly landed beside Jun Wu Xie on the rooftop. "I've come to borrow something, I'm not interested in killing anyone, farewell!"

  The last word had just left his lips when the sound was already ten zhang away. The guards looked at each other in dismay, gazing up at the empty rooftop: "This..."

  Wen Cheng's eyes sank, and he roared in anger: "What is this? Don't go take a look at what's missing!"

  "Yes!"

  The guards responded with a shout and immediately dispersed in a flurry of activity. Just then, the Minister of Justice, Wen Qixuan, rushed out in a state of panic, crying out in anguish: "My Blood Toad..."

  With the cloud-ink dye rushing along, Jun Mo's gaze quietly swept over her body several times, his eyes flashing with a hint of disappointment: even in dire circumstances, she could only rely on her expertise in close combat to harm others, still not enough...

  "You're really a man of your word!" Yun Mo suddenly spoke up, her tone laced with sarcasm. "You said you'd help me get the Blood Toad, but instead you slapped me into the encirclement and sent me to my death!"

  "You're quite skilled, you won't die!" Jun Wu asked nonchalantly, "This move of mine is called 'Voice East Strike West', it's very effective, yeah, the Blood Toad has been obtained smoothly!"

  Looking at the box handed in front of her, Yun Mo dyed her lips and remained silent. She had to admit that although Jun Mo Xun's move had put her in danger, it was indeed very effective. By using her to attract the attention of the guards, he easily entered the secret room to retrieve the blood toad, without any effort at all.

  In that case, there's no need to say more. Yun Mo Xie took the box: "Alright, thank you then! Jun Men Lord, I owe you another favor, when you need my help in the future, just let me know!"

  "That's natural, I've never done a losing business." Jun Mo asked with a faint smile, "After solving the poison of Yun Yu Lang, temporarily put the blood toad in Yunlai Pavilion, I will come to take it, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble if you leave it with you. Let's go!"

  After you left, Yun Mo immediately went to the Cloud Residence to find Yun Yuqiang and used the Blood Toad to detoxify him. Yun Yuqiang was very surprised and asked her how she got this treasure. Yun Mo couldn't reveal her relationship with Jun Wu, so she said a friend helped her. Seeing that she didn't want to talk about it, Yun Yuqiang stopped asking and focused on the detoxification.

  After curing Yun Yu's poison, Yun Mo brought the Blood Toad back to Yunlai Pavilion and treated his own injured left arm. The wound was three inches long, but it wasn't deep into the flesh, so there was no major harm.

  After a busy night, Yun Moche finally fell asleep in a daze when the sky was slightly bright, but was soon awakened by a sudden knock on the door: "Seventh Miss! Open the door quickly!"

  It was clearly the voice of the maid Dong Huai. Yun Mo didn't have time to wash up, so she put on a face mask and went to open the door: "What is it?"

  "Huh? What a beautiful mask... Seventh Miss, please forgive me!" Dong Huan blurted out in admiration, then looked flustered and turned red in the face. "It's... it's someone from the palace, saying that Prince Xiang feels unwell and requests Seventh Miss to enter the palace, the carriage is waiting at the gate of the mansion."

  Xiang Wang's condition has deteriorated? It shouldn't be! Just re-examined yesterday, the operation was very successful...

  Yun Mo's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he nodded and said, "Alright, tell them I'll be there after I change clothes."

  "Yes!"

  Dong Huai responded with a sound and left, Yun Mo Ran immediately washed and changed clothes, and carefully put on the mask before going out and getting into the carriage. Along the way, he entered He Lian Jing Xuan's bedroom: "Mo Ran has seen King Xiang! I wonder how King Xiang is feeling unwell?"

  He Lian Qing Xuan remained silent for a long time as he gazed at the mask on Yun Mo Ran's face. The mask fit perfectly over her features, as if it were a part of her body, precisely covering the birthmark on her left cheek and accentuating her eyes, which shone like a bright pool, breathtakingly beautiful.

  Seeing He Lian's gaze fixed on Yun Mo Yan, her eyes shining with infatuated love, Nalan Mingyu felt a sudden panic and immediately opened her mouth in a coquettish tone: "Your Highness, where does it hurt?"

  That gaze was all too familiar to Nalan Mingwei! It was the same gaze that Helian Zhengxiao had used when he first saw her, and it was what made her heart skip a beat back then! But now...

  "Huh?" He Lianjing returned to his senses, "Yun Mo Xuan, where did this mask come from?"

  "A gift from a friend." Yun Mo replied simply, "May I ask Your Highness, are you experiencing any headaches, dizziness or other discomfort?"

  Yun Mo's evasive attitude made He Lian Jing Xuan feel a surge of resentment in his heart, and he coldly nodded and said: "Very well, I suddenly feel a bit dizzy, you take a look at me."

  "Yes."

  Yun Mo Yan nodded and stepped forward, carefully examining Helian Zheng Xu. Helian Zheng Xu leaned against the headboard, quietly staring at Yun Mo Yan's warm eyes and cherry lips, his nose lightly sniffing the unique fragrance of her body, for a moment he felt a little moved: marrying this woman as a concubine didn't seem like a bad thing...

  He Lian Jingxu entered the palace to see Yun Mo Ran, not because he was uncomfortable physically, but because he wanted to see Yun Mo Ran again, just to take another look at her and talk to her a few more times. This feeling was strange.

  Nothing unusual was found. Yun Mo got up and retreated: "Please forgive me, Your Highness. Mo Yan didn't find anything unusual. Naturally, Mo Yan's skills are not refined, I don't dare to make a mistake, it's better for Your Highness to summon the imperial physician..."

  "It doesn't matter, since you said it's nothing, then it's nothing." He Lian Jing Xuan waved his hand to stop him, "Yun Mo Ran, please sit down, I have something to ask you."

  Is there anything else you'd like to ask me? It's probably just something about why I don't want to marry you. Yun Mo Yan barely suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and slightly curtsied: "In front of Your Highness, Mo Yan doesn't dare be presumptuous, does Your Highness have any orders?"

  As expected, He Lian Jin Xuan let out a cold hum and then opened his mouth: "Yun Mo Ran, why are you unwilling to marry me? Previously it was because I was critically ill and you didn't want to be buried with me. But now that you've already cured my illness, why are you still unwilling?"

  "Ink dye lowered her eyelids and repeated helplessly: 'Ink dye just didn't want to become a tool used by others...'"

  "Now that I want to marry you, it's not just for the sake of saving face," Helian Jing interrupted her, his voice with a hint of urgency, "If it's not for saving face, then where does this talk of tools come from?"

  "A brand, once imprinted, is hard to erase." Yun Mo's smile was faint and cold, with a hint of unspoken charm, "Moreover, Your Highness already has someone in mind, where would there be room for Mo Yan? And all Mo Yan asks for is one lifetime, one life, one pair!"

  As soon as these words came out, He Lian Qing's face changed color: "Yun Mo Ran! How dare you? What qualifications do you have to ask me, the king, to be with you for a lifetime?"

  Yun Mo's smile grew even colder as she spoke, her words more resolute: "Yun Mo knows that she is ugly, but in this world, there will always be people who can see the good behind Yun Mo's ugly appearance. Therefore, in this life and in this world, Yun Mo can share everything with others, except for two things."

  He was enchanted by Yun Mo's fleeting display of elegance and unwittingly asked, "Which two?"

  "My man, my man's heart." Yun Mo's sleeves fluttered as she gazed proudly like a phoenix overlooking the world, "Only these two things, I will never share with anyone."

  Khalin's heart skipped a beat as he gazed into Yun Moche's eyes, where a fleeting fervor shone through. He almost blurted out: I can do it! Not letting anyone share me and my heart with you...

  "Yun Mo Ran! You dare to spout such nonsense!" Fortunately, just then, Nalan Mingwei's angry shout brought He Lianying's rationality back, "As a princess of the Nalan imperial family, I am a hundred times more beautiful than you, yet I don't even dare ask for special treatment. And you, this ugly freak, actually say such things, it's simply laughable!"

  Too lazy to argue with Nalan Mingwei, Yun Mochen directly spoke up and asked to leave: "Your Highness's body is fine, may I take my leave?"

  "Cloud Ink Stain! You're being presumptuous!" Nalan Mingyu was furious, her hand raised in a swift motion. "Such arrogance and disrespect, utterly lacking in manners! How dare you, am I not right? Is my beauty not a hundred times greater than yours?"

  Yun Mo's face was expressionless, her lips pursed in silence. Seeing this, Nalan Mingyu felt even more humiliated and shouted loudly: "Fine! You don't obey, then I'll compare with you to see who's superior! Take off your mask and let everyone see who's beautiful and who's ugly between us!"

  The face under the mask is as white as jade, flawless. Is it someone like you who has the chance to see it? Still ignoring Nalan Mingwei's shouting, Yun Mochen spoke again: "Your Highness..."

  "Cloud Ink Stain! You..."

  "Min Wei!" He Lian Qing Xuan's face sank, and he stopped Nalan Min Wei, "No reason to compare beauty or ugliness! You go back and rest now!"

  "I..."

  He Lian Jing's eyes turned cold, and Nalan Mingwei didn't dare to force her to stay any longer. She turned around with a huff and left.

  Dai Na Lan Ming Wei left, Yun Mo Zhen took a deep breath and said: "Your Highness must be tired too, so rest early. Mo Zhen bids farewell... Ah! You..."

  Before he could finish his sentence, He Lian Jing Xuan suddenly grabbed Yun Mo Ran's wrist and pulled her onto the bed, then pressed down on top of her, firmly pinning her small body beneath him!
