The man was wearing a dark green gown, sitting at the desk, looking at the file in his hand. The clothes he was wearing were exactly the same as those worn by the man who accompanied "Mo Li" in the moonlit night tonight. However, this face was no longer the Zhao Zhaoyuan who had been with "Mo Li" at night, but had become the face of Zhao Qingren.
This face was extremely cold and solemn, without even a trace of worldly air. It had nothing to do with the impression that Zhao Zhaoyuan or the usually gentle and polite Zhao Qingren gave to outsiders.
He seemed like a different person. Even Li Mo, who usually served him, had never seen him look like this.
According to the Zhao family's extravagant lifestyle, Zhao Qingren should have changed into a brand new set of brocade clothes when he returned from outside, not to mention that he had been stained with the sweat and smell of the common people on the street... If it were in the past, Zhao Qingren would have immediately changed out of the clothes stained with the dirty and cheap smell, but at this moment, he was wearing it...
As if he didn't want to take it off right away.
People who practice cultivation don't need to sleep, and Zhao Qingren rarely rests. He rarely sleeps in the twelve hours of the day. The children of the Zhao family have been practicing like this since they were young. Especially since he is the direct heir. The children of the Zhao family have paid such great hardships to be more outstanding than ordinary people.
Suddenly, a figure kneeled in front of his study. When he saw the person, his fingers trembled slightly. The trembling was very slight, and even others would not easily notice it. However, Zhao Qingren subconsciously looked at his hands with disgust, pursed his lips, and said coldly to the person outside the room: "Speak."
"Master, Mr. Mo followed your instructions tonight and tried to kill Mo Li. He succeeded. The woman is dead."
There was silence in the room. The subordinate was slightly stunned and his heart tightened. Then he heard the young master in the room utter "OK" softly.
After hearing this, his men slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since it has no value, then just eliminate the danger..." Another voice floated out from inside the house. It was unclear whether it was spoken to his subordinates or to Zhao Qingren himself.
"Everything is the most correct decision..."
The kneeling subordinate was covered in cold sweat. At this moment, he wished he could deafen himself. He didn't want to hear what he just said, nor did he want to think deeply about the emotions contained in the words of the eldest master...
The eldest son, who always made people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts, now spoke in a tone...
Although she spoke such cold words, it sounded like she was whispering to a lover. What was even more terrifying was the bloody and cruel means behind the words.
The most tender and affectionate journey together and giving flowers to each other, and the most cold-blooded and bloody throat-cutting.
In the same night, he performed two most extreme actions, like a madman.
And such a man, holding the Zhao family with enormous power...
His whole body was soaked with cold sweat, and he trembled to stop himself from thinking about it.
If he continued to think about it, he would soon lose his life if the young master discovered his intentions.
"You go down."
"Yes."
His men breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had been pardoned.
But an hour later, the subordinate appeared in front of Zhao Qingren's study again with a pale face and cold sweat dripping down his neck. At this time, he curled up into a ball, as if he wanted to drill into the ground, and said to Zhao Qingren in a trembling voice: "Sir, something went wrong."
"Hmm?" Zhao Qingren replied doubtfully.
He was in a very bad mood at the moment, and he didn't even want to think deeply about the reason for his bad mood. He almost gave up all his thoughts and just sat there. Unexpectedly, his men came back and told him that something was wrong.
This was a rare occurrence in the Zhao family under his rule.
The subordinate's body began to tremble violently, and his voice was also trembling: "Master... Master... Mo Li is not dead. Although her body has almost run out of blood, her spirit is still alive... Moreover, it is because of the Jade Twilight Flower you gave her that she is like this. She seems to have a special body that can make the Jade Twilight Flower play its greatest role and protect her life. So... So, Uncle Mo dare not take action again. Please let Master make the decision."
As soon as he finished saying this, he felt a strong gust of wind coming. He felt a pain in his chest and a sweetness in his throat, and immediately vomited blood. In an instant, he felt a strong murderous intent coming from Zhao Qingren's house, like a dark giant beast, stretching out dozens of dark claws and pouncing on him...
His face changed drastically. In the decades he had been with Zhao Qingren, he had never seen the young master like this, nor had he ever felt his life was in such danger.
The next moment, Zhao Qingren disappeared from his sight like a ghost, drifting away like a gust of wind, and the direction he went was exactly the direction of Mo Li's residence...
"Wow——" He spat out blood again.
After vomiting, he coughed hard with a pale face, but a thought popped up in his mind: What is the punishment for the young master...
Was it a punishment for not killing that woman Mo Li in private, but instead reporting to him and letting the young master make the decision?
Thinking of this... he smiled bitterly. If he reported it now, he would have a chance of survival. If he really bypassed Zhao Qingren and let Uncle Mo take action again, he was afraid... the lives of his entire family would be used to vent Zhao Qingren's terrible anger.
You will understand when you see Zhao Qingren’s actions at this time.
In all these years, he had never seen Zhao Qingren lose his composure like this.
Growing up in the Zhao family, he had never imagined that the heir of such a strict and cold Zhao family would actually...
……
Li Mo slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a face she had seen before.
It’s actually Yinghong.
One stem leads to green, two shadows share red
The stems are green and dead.
The shadow is still there.
Ying Hong looked at "Mo Li" with her eyes flickering, then calmed down the emotions in her eyes, pretending that she had never seen her before, and said softly, "The girl is awake?"
"Yeah." Li Mo also acted indifferently, as if he had never had any interaction with her.
Yinghong approached her, blocking out some of the light from the window. Her eyes were dim, but she reached out and pressed the shoulders of Li Mo, who was lying motionless on the bed, and said softly, "Girl, don't move. It's very safe here, no one can come in..."
She paused for a moment, and then continued, "My lady is now in the eldest master's solitary bedroom, 'He Yi Pavilion'. She is seeing the best doctors and using the best elixirs. Don't worry about your injuries."
No one can come in… Yinghong’s words were hinting to her that “no one can come out”, telling her that she couldn’t escape.
"Heyi Pavilion" is the most secret library of the Zhao family after the residence of Elder Zhao. No one except Zhao Qingren can enter. Even Zhao Qingren's personal maid Ying Hongjinglu can only stay there for no more than two hours during the day. "Mo Li", Zhao Qingren's maid, is also clear about this.
Yinghong twisted the corner of the quilt for her and gently moved the medicine bottles and jars on the table. As she moved, Limo noticed that her fingers were shaking unconsciously.
How could she not be panicked? She knew very well that she was the enemy of her master, but she pretended not to know and buried this huge secret deep in her heart without informing the Zhao family. Undoubtedly, if Li Mo was exposed in the future and someone was investigating, she would most likely be classified as an accomplice.
She even allowed her sister to ask "Mo Li" for help.
Thinking of this, Li Mo recalled the scene last night——
