The moment he met Princess Anding's gaze, although Zhou Mochen's expression did not change much, alarm bells were already ringing in his heart.

Chu Heyi used Zhou Yuchi's incident to lure the fourth prince away, and then arranged for Shu Xiao to surround and kill him on the way. Then, he ordered Chu Yi to lead troops to attack Northern Zhou to lure the second prince away.

Chu Heyi himself brought a group of people and quietly sneaked into the Northern Zhou royal city, creating a series of movements to divert the eldest prince's attention... All these things were just to enable him to successfully sneak into the palace.

But now, is everything going to fail in front of Princess Anding?

Zhou Mochen clenched his hands into fists, hiding them at his sides. Would all the efforts of everyone be in vain at this moment?

Although Princess Anding followed Zhou Hanchi, they never got married. In the Northern Zhou royal city, everyone still called her Princess Anding.

The old eunuch who brought Zhou Mochi here quickly noticed the turbulent atmosphere at the scene, but he immediately bowed and saluted: "Greetings to Princess Anding."

Princess Anding stared at them without saying anything.

In this silence, Zhou Mochi's mind worked very quickly, thinking about all his past and present experiences...

"You—" Princess Anding suddenly pointed at him and said, "There's a pot of flowers over there that has fallen over. Come with me to help lift it up."

She turned and walked away.

Zhou Mochen and the old eunuch looked at each other, he shook his head, signaling the old eunuch not to say anything or do anything, then followed Princess Anding and walked away.

Princess Anding stood in a corner of the yard, while the guards and maids were standing three feet away. Zhou Mochen estimated the distance and wondered in his mind what his chances were of killing Princess Anding with a single blow of his knife if she ruined his plan.

Princess Anding pursed her lips and sneered: "Are you thinking whether my guards can successfully kill me when they are three feet away from me?"

"..." Zhou Mochi pursed his lips: "No!"

Princess Anding didn't seem interested in his answer. She quickly changed the subject: "When did you leave Daqi? Your brothers didn't get any news at all."

Zhou Mochen did not answer. He did not think it was necessary to tell Princess Anding about this matter.

Princess Anding did not dwell on this question and asked another question: "I heard that Chu Heyi died. Is this true?"

Zhou Mochen snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Princess Anding took a step closer to him and said, “You know, if you don’t answer my questions, I will send someone to tell the eldest prince that you sneaked into the palace and are now going to see the king.

"You were tricked by the eldest prince into fleeing Northern Zhou because you were skilled in archery and horse riding, a young genius, and the king's favorite, right? If the eldest prince knew that you were back, I'm afraid that even if you have come here, you will not be able to see your father alive!"

Zhou Mochen stared at her and still said nothing.

Princess Anding smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I think people like Chu Heyi are like stones in a toilet. Even if all the dirt is used as fertilizer, she is still immortal, smelly and hard. She doesn't seem like someone who would die so easily. I guess she is still alive."

Zhou Mochi pursed his lips: "What on earth do you want to tell me!"

Princess Anding smiled even brighter. "I hope she's alive. Only if she's alive can I disgust her for the rest of her life. If she died so easily, I would be sad. Of course, if she's really dead, that's good too. Isn't it ridiculous that I both hope she's dead and alive."

Zhou Mochen frowned. This man was crazy.

Perhaps because of his silence, the smile on Princess Anding's face disappeared in an instant, and her expression suddenly became serious: "You all came to the North, but where is my brother, the Crown Prince? Is he here?"

She seemed to be very concerned about the answer to this question. After asking, she stared at Zhou Mochi.

Zhou Mochi sneered: "Why would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come? The Emperor is seriously ill and is just about to abdicate. Now all affairs in Daqi are presided over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You want him to come? Dream on!"

Princess Anding was indeed very disappointed. She stood there for a long time. Even though the cold wind was blowing, she didn't say a word.

Zhou Mochi said, "Princess Anding, now that I have entered the palace, I have ways to protect myself. I advise you not to tell anyone about my coming in, or I will say that you brought me in. If the eldest prince kills me, you will definitely die."

Princess Anding took another step towards him and smiled at him with charming eyes, which made Zhou Mochen frown and look away.

"Tell me what you want to do by sneaking into the Northern Zhou palace, and I won't yell at you. Although your father is your father, he is also the murderer of your mother and the enemy who drove you and your sister out of Northern Zhou. You came to the palace alone to see him. Aren't you afraid that you are going to die?"

Her voice was as gentle as water, and her eyes seemed to be rippling with water, which was very charming.

She did it on purpose. Zhou Mochi thought, this woman has become a slut since she ran away with Zhou Hanchi.

Zhou Mochi said coldly: "No matter how terrible my father is, he is still my father. No matter how cruel the Great Zhou is, it is the place where I was born and raised. Even if I die here, what do I have to fear?"

Princess Anding's eyes moved across his face, as if she was thinking about how credible his words were.

After a while, she took a step back and said with a smile: "You are right. How can a person who wants to die be afraid of death? How can he care where he dies? Go away. I won't tell anyone about your coming here."

Zhou Mochen was surprised. He had been prepared to kill Princess Anding, or to fight to the death with her, but Princess Anding just let him go like that?

It seemed unbelievable and Zhou Mochen was worried that there might be something fishy going on.

"What? You don't trust me?" Princess Anding raised her eyebrows.

Zhou Mochi asked back: "Is Princess Anding trustworthy?"

"That's true." Princess Anding laughed again, "But what can I do? You've already come this far. What can you do if you don't believe me? Killing me or fighting to the death with me will both be detrimental to your plan."

Zhou Mochen knew that Princess Anding was right. Now, he could only take the risk and believe what Princess Anding said.

He slowly backed away, one step, two steps, four or five steps. Seeing that Princess Anding was still standing there and had no intention of revealing his identity, Zhou Mochen turned around abruptly and left quickly.

When he reached the long corridor under the eaves, he suddenly stopped and turned back, and saw Princess Anding still standing in the dim light.

She was still smiling, her smile was pure and peaceful. Zhou Mochen didn't know that this was the last time he would see Princess Anding.
