Villain, be good! I'm here to give birth to a baby [Quick Wear]

Chapter 77: The Heartless and Childless Emperor 31

Mo Yao was imprisoned in the sky prison.

He was sitting on the ground in plain clothes, with his hair neatly spread behind his head, and he looked very quiet.

She is waiting for someone.

Someone who has been waiting for a long time.

The footsteps came from a distance, getting closer and closer.

There was the sound of boots hitting the ground and keys clinking.

There was a noise from the cell door, and then the lock opened.

Someone stood behind her and the footsteps stopped at this moment.

"..."

The man didn't say anything, just stood there in silence.

Mo Yao turned her head and saw Lin Yan. She was standing there with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at her indifferently. She was wearing a simple white dress and her hair was tied with a red headband, looking casual and unfocused.

"haven't seen you for a long time……"

"Sister."

Mo Yao stood up and spoke first.

Lin Yan responded calmly: "Yeah."

"Sister's reaction is really chilling."

Mo Yao lowered her eyes in disappointment and smiled bitterly.

Lin Yan just said: "Just say whatever you want to say. I don't want to waste too much time here."

He has a cold attitude and seems to have little patience.

Mo Yao lowered her head, clenched her hands at her sides, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I want to know... are you coming to Lang Country for me this time?"

Lin Yan sneered.

She scoffed, "If this is the reason you came to confess to me, it's really stupid and ridiculous."

"You're not worth the risk."

"Don't take yourself too seriously. As you said before, I have long been worshipped as a god in Lang Country. I can see you or save you anytime I want. There are many ways to do it. There is no need to come in person."

She walked forward, pinched Mo Yao's chin and looked into her eyes.

"I came here for Li Xuanlin."

"He is more useful than you."

Mo Yao looked at him.

The two of them locked eyes for a long moment.

Mo Yaocai said: "Sister, you are really completely different from before."

"You never said this before. You always told me that people shouldn't make judgments about other people casually. Whether they are valuable or not, whether they should exist or not, is always up to them -"

Hearing this, Lin Yan interrupted her: "Don't always think about the past. So many years have passed. Being stuck in the past will only make you stagnate. What happened in the past is what happened in the past. What should be done now is what should be done now."

Mo Yao smiled and shook her head.

She walked over and stood very close to Lin Yan: "So now in your eyes, Li Xuanlin is just an item waiting to be sold, right?"

Lin Yan: “…”

"Then he is even more pitiful than me. He mistook someone for someone at such a young age and gave the jade pendant that concerns his life to someone who shouldn't have been given it. Later, he was almost killed in the palace because of this jade pendant. If Imperial Doctor Jiang hadn't passed by and felt sorry for him, he would have died at the gate of Chengqian Palace."

Lin Yan turned around and prepared to leave: "If you just want to say these useless nonsense, then there is no need for me to waste my time here with you."

But Mo Yao said: "Aren't you curious about what happened to Li Xuanlin back then? How did he, an unpopular prince, win the throne from all the other princes?"

Regarding these things about Li Xuanlin.

Lin Yan knew something about it and she sent someone to inquire about it.

Li Xuanlin has been an invisible person in the palace since he was a child and has not received much attention. His mother is just the daughter of an ordinary minister and is not very loved by her family. She is very ordinary.

Because he was destined to be heirless at birth, he was destined to have no chance of becoming emperor. Few people wanted to contact him, and some naughty princes would even bully and tease him.

He had lived with his mother in the palace since he was a child, and rarely stepped out of the palace. Even when he read, he sat in the back corner, and no one paid attention to him.

Maybe it was because he was very quiet and seldom spoke, so much so that when the two met he was very frugal with his words. Even if his emotions were strong he could not use many words to describe them, making people feel that he was not good at expressing himself.

He has always been a person who is easily overlooked and does not like to attract attention. In the palace, you hardly hear anyone mention him on their own initiative.

He doesn't stir up trouble and keeps his presence low. There's no ambition on his face. He's so ordinary that people feel it's a waste for him to be a prince. Fortunately, he's quiet and ordinary enough, so he grew up successfully.

The only time he rebelled was when he lost the jade pendant, which the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said was related to the fortune of the dynasty.

Moreover, the timing at which the late emperor found out about it was very fortuitous, as it was right after Minister Lin rebelled and his entire clan was executed.

The late emperor was a suspicious and jealous person, so he immediately banished Li Xuanlin's mother to the cold palace without even listening to her explanation.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. This saying applies to everyone.

Li Xuanlin's mother's family hurriedly distanced themselves from the matter, fearing that they would be implicated. Even those who had some connection with the family would try to hide away at this time.

The only person who couldn't give up on Li Xuanlin and his mother was Nanny Xue. She accompanied the empress dowager to the cold palace, where they suffered from cold and hunger together.

Li Xuanlin went to plead for mercy but he knelt in Chengqian Palace for three days and three nights but failed to impress the late emperor. Instead, he fainted from kneeling. It was Imperial Physician Jiang who saved him.

There was no news about Li Xuanlin after that. It seemed that the quiet state had returned to its previous state, and it became even quieter.

It was not until the palace coup and he seized the throne that his name gradually became known.

Those who had thought he was an ordinary person gradually discovered that this inconspicuous prince was actually very adept at handling state affairs and had hardly made any mistakes, so he gradually won the support of the people.

However, Lin Yan naturally knew that many things were not as simple as they heard, and Li Xuanlin's throne was not picked up by luck, but was definitely a victory trophy that had been carefully planned for a long time.

She could understand a thing or two, so she said, "I know how he won the throne. I don't need you to tell me again."

"Of course I know you must have asked around, and you know that you had something to do with his fate, because you were the one who took his jade pendant."

Hearing Mo Yao say this, Lin Yan couldn't help but frown.

Just as he was about to speak, Mo Yao spoke first: "I know that you didn't steal the jade pendant back then. He gave it to me on his own initiative. I was also captured and taken to the palace. I passed him on the way to the prison, and he found the jade pendant hidden on me."

Lin Yan was speechless for a moment.

"I think it was because of this jade pendant that he chose to save me."

"I don't know what he was thinking, but I felt that he rescued me, so I had to repay him. So I disguised myself as a little palace maid and went to the cold palace to help him take care of the queen mother."

"And at that time he didn't even know why I was imprisoned there, but he still risked his life to save me and helped me escape from prison. Unfortunately, it was still difficult for me to escape from the palace, so I could only be an ordinary palace servant and blend in."

"I didn't know at the time that the owner of the jade pendant was Li Xuanlin, because he really didn't like to talk much, he was too quiet."

If she had known, Mo Yao would have chosen to return the jade pendant after Li Xuanlin rescued her instead of continuing to hide it from being discovered.
