The last thing he forbid himself to think was that the little girl whom he searched for years was no longer alive, which is why the jade pendant fell into the impostor’s hands.

“I see. No wonder she forgot the secret code she shared with me.” Mo Rongzhan faintly said; his teeth gritted as he forced to spew words calmy.

Livid... He felt absolute ire of Lu Wushuang and Lu Linzghi’s trickery. However, he could not ignore the favors the Lu family had given him over the years. Besides, Lu Lingzhi was still needed in his cabinet.

Just yet, he couldn’t strangle the man riding beside him. His adam’s apple bobbed up and down at the mere thought.

He has just ascended the throne–his hold was still unstable. At this rate, he still couldn’t get rid of Lu Wushuang and relieve Lu Lingzhi of his services. If he let his emotions get the better of him, his reign would crumble into a heap.

Trepidation made Lu Ligzhi’s back run cold...He thought there must be a reason why the emperor as these things, but what is it? Where did the emperor see a clue?

It seemed necessary to enter the palace and talk to his sister right away.

Mo Rongzhan pressed down his displeasure from his heart and by the time he faced Lu Lingzhi again, he was already bearing a small smile. “There are still many things I need you to do. Get enough rest.”

“Your Highness, I can’t sit still at home. Although I still walk like a slug, I can very well go back to the Ministry of War to work.”

The Emperor nodded, “Alright.”

“Brother!” Mo Rongyi, who had come out of the college, shouted from far away and galloped closer to his brother.

“Come down!” Mo Rongzhan’s face sank as soon as he saw the little arrogant figure and ordered Mo Rongyi with a cold voice at once.

Pulling the reins of his horse, Mo Rongyi stopped hastily and came down. He then hurried to Mo Rongzhan with a smiling face. “Brother, why are you here?”

“Aren’t you supposed to hunt? How did you get inside the college? ” Mo Rongzhan asked calmly, he left his duties at the palace upon learning that his little brother finally wanted to hunt. He came to have a look, but was greeted with not even his shadow! The next moment, he found himself looking for him in the nearby Women’s College which seemed to be holding a festive event.

Not mistaken, he surely found Mo Rongyi’s tiny form watching women play music. Is my brother growing up too fast?

Mo Rongyi was most afraid of his brother’s straight face and was immediately scared to death. “I saw Miss Lu Yaoyao there, so I wanted to go and have a look at her performance... Brother, you don’t know that it was fortunate that I was there today, otherwise, she would not be able to enter the college!”

“Do you now feel entitled that you’re the reason why she passed?” Mo Rongzhan asked with a slight sneer.

“Brother, that’s not the case! Lu Yaoyao’s drum dance today clearly has no problem but Liu Hua bought off two teachers and insisted on giving her a B! Miss Lu Yaoyao is smart though. She bet to Liu Hua that she would definitely enter the college then she borrowed 2,000 taels from Marquis Tang. After arguing with the two teachers, one of them gave her an A in fear!” Mo Rongyi’s mouth was faster than the emperor’s fastest horse. Words after words, he spoke without pause.

Giddy with excitement, his eyes lit up while he relayed the greatest news he had for today. “I also won 12000, brother! Hmph! I will have one of my servants to fetch my money from Liu Hua tomorrow!”

As his little brother blabbered his way out of his scolding, Mo Rongzhan’s mind was filled with the appearance of the tender and delicate miss arguing but later on, shook himself out of this reverie.”If the princess goes to the palace to complain to her mother about this, I will not protect you.”

“Miss Lu Yaoyao took four A’s and Liu Hua definitely lost. I did nothing wrong!” Mo Rongyi’s face crumpled in dismay. His pursed mouth shook.

Lu Lingzhi frowned, the two teachers were indeed cruel and unreasonable. They were not very proficient in six skills, so they made such ridiculous excuses just to forbid Ye Zhen from passing.

Fortunately, Ye Zhen did not let them succeed.
