The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Mo Yuchen obviously didn't expect Xia Yanxiang to be so bold, and even more so, Xia Yanxiang actually said that he didn't want to be the emperor: "What do you mean, Third Miss?"

Seeing Mo Yuchen narrow his eyes, as if he was on guard, Xia Yanxiang also chuckled and said, "Since Your Highness knows that I am a constraint on the General's Mansion and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, you should know that all my decisions will affect the future of the General's Mansion and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. I am stupid, but after all, I have lived in the capital for so many years, so it is normal for me to know some things."

"What do you know?" Mo Yuchen was not angry, but more appreciative and let down his guard.

Xia Yanxiang was a little unsure of Mo Yuchen's reaction. Logically, Mo Yuchen should be angry after she said that: "Your Highness knows what I am thinking, why ask again?"

Xia Yanxiang's question was obviously intentional. She didn't want to tell Mo Yuchen the truth and was just trying to be circumvent it.

"Miss Third is very courageous!" Mo Yuchen said meaningfully, "Miss Third might as well think about it carefully. If you have decided to cooperate with Xiao Wang, you are welcome to contact Xiao Wang at any time."

After finishing speaking, Mo Yuchen looked at the flowers in Xia Yanxiang's hand, paused for a moment, and then said, "I wonder if you can give me one of Miss Third's peony flowers? I like to make dried flowers of all kinds."

Xia Yanxiang was stunned. What kind of request was this King Luo making?

"Your Highness, there should be enough peonies in your garden, right?" Although Xia Yanxiang didn't understand Mo Yuchen's intention, she inexplicably felt that Mo Yuchen had no ill intentions.

Mo Yuchen was speechless, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I did have one, but the flowers didn't bloom well this year, and Xiao Wang was busy, so I didn't find a good-looking one, so I took the liberty to ask Miss San for one."

Xia Yanxiang looked at Mo Yuchen strangely. Isn't this excuse too lame?

Mo Yuchen coughed and said, "Miss Third is not so unwilling to give up even a peony flower, right?"

Xia Yanxiang was almost laughing at his anger. She picked a flower from her hand and walked over to hand it to Mo Yuchen: "It seems that this peony is lucky to be favored by His Royal Highness Prince Luo."

Mo Yuchen ignored the smile in Xia Yanxiang's words and took it politely: "Thank you, Third Miss."

After Xia Yanxiang waited for him to take it, she planned to leave: "Then I will take my leave first."

"Since Miss Third wants to pick flowers, then I am disturbing you. I should take my leave first." Mo Yuchen bowed slightly to Xia Yanxiang, then turned and left while Xia Yanxiang was stunned.

What does this mean?

Xia Yanxiang was confused by Mo Yuchen. He, a dignified Prince Luo, actually bowed to her, a servant.

"Your Highness!" Yizhu was actually quite far away, but when he saw Mo Yuchen coming over with a peony flower in his hand, his eyes almost popped out.

Mo Yuchen seemed to be in a good mood. Looking at the peony flowers in his hand, he remembered something and turned back to Xia Yanxiang who was still standing there and said, "Miss San, remember to apply medicine to your wound."

Xia Yanxiang was even more confused. What did King Luo mean? Could it be that he wanted to get close to her and had the same idea as Mo Yuyang?

Mo Yuchen hid the flower in his sleeve, then went to the main hall, said goodbye to Xia Zhibai and returned home.

At night, Mo Yuchen was still handling affairs in the study, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Yizhu was extremely curious when he saw Mo Yuchen like this. His Highness seemed very happy since he came back from the General's Mansion, but he couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, whose concubine's room are you going to tonight?"

Mo Yuchen raised his head and glared at Yizhu: "You want to die, don't you?"

Yizhu chuckled: "Your Highness, you were so happy after meeting the Third Miss that you almost laughed. What did you say to the Third Miss?"

Mo Yuchen didn't want to tell him that this tactless guy was discovered by Xia Yanxiang: "What does it have to do with you?"

"Your Highness, I'm curious!" Yizhu was really curious. It was rare for His Highness to be so happy. The last time he was so happy was during an outing.

Mo Yuchen was in a good mood today, so he told Yizhu: "The Third Miss did poison herself. It seems that she doesn't want to marry Prince Yuan."

"If I don't want to marry His Royal Highness Prince Yuan, then I don't necessarily want to marry you!" I thought it was something else! So it was this! "Miss San poisoned herself?!"

Yizhu muttered something nonchalantly, then realized that it was the Third Miss herself who poisoned her.

Mo Yuchen didn't want to pay attention to him, but he still answered Yizhu's previous question: "Stay in the study today."

"Study!" Yizhu said meaningfully, leaving Mo Yuchen speechless.

Mo Yuchen ignored Yizhu and looked at the peony flower in the vase in front of him. There was only one peony flower, but it was enough for Mo Yuchen. It could be a white peony flower, but this one was given to him by Xia Yanxiang herself.

"But Your Highness, I heard today that Aunt Li picked your white jasmine flowers." Thinking of this, Yizhu said cautiously, doesn't this Aunt Jin know that the white jasmine flowers in the mansion cannot be picked?

Mo Yuchen's face darkened when he heard this: "Didn't anyone tell her not to pick the white orchids in the mansion?"

"I told you, but I don't know when Aunt Li went to pick them. By the time Butler Wang found out, Aunt Li had already picked a whole basket." Yizhu said cautiously. Everyone knew that the white jasmine flowers in the mansion were not allowed to be picked. But Aunt Li actually picked the white jasmine flowers for His Highness when he was not in the mansion.

Mo Yuchen said coldly, "Send Aunt Li back tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Yizhu was also a little frightened. His Highness has always liked white jasmine, and no one can touch it. This concubine Li touched His Highness's reverse scale, and it would be good for her to be sent back.

"Send someone to the south to look for any good varieties of white jasmine and bring them back for cultivation." Mo Yuchen's mood suddenly turned bad.

"Yes."

In the middle of the night, Mo Yuchen couldn't sleep, so he got up and looked at the peony flowers given by Xia Yanxiang, thinking about Xia Yanxiang's words in his heart.

Your Highness doesn't want to be emperor at all.

How did she know?

He was also shocked by the fact that Xia Yanxiang poisoned him. Thinking back to that time, he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep for several nights. Now he thought that he was too worried.

Since he gave Xia Yanxiang the note, he should have known that this matter would be related to Xia Yanxiang. However, he did not expect that Xia Yanxiang would use this method to avoid the arranged marriage, which was quite cruel to him.

But now Xia Yanxiang seems to act very differently from before. Why is that?

Mo Yuchen couldn't sleep. He kept thinking about these things over and over again, but still had no clue.

Forget it. He has already extended an olive branch today. It depends on how Xia Yanxiang weighs the pros and cons. If Xia Yanxiang trusts him, he will naturally have a chance.
