Volume 1: The Human World: Phoenix Rising in Fire Chapter 170 Hidden Murder (3)
Dust was flying, and in a blink of an eye, the emperor and his ministers and princes who were hunting ran away for a long distance.
The rest of the female members of the family, led by the Queen, wandered around the palace admiring the flowers, guessing riddles and playing games.
Princess Pingnan pushed aside the crowd and walked to the Queen's side. She lowered her head and said something while wiping her tears.
The queen looked displeased, with a cold light flashing in her phoenix eyes.
"I have had a terrible headache these past two days." The Queen stroked her forehead gently. Thinking of what happened on the Cold Mist Island , her heart could not calm down for a long time.
The girl has not been found yet. She is the only one who has seen what she looks like, so it is extremely difficult to find her.
If that girl is a gossiper and says nonsense, it will affect her dignity as the mother of a country.
"The Queen has been working too hard for Shijie. Please rest and recuperate." Princess Pingnan said while wiping her tears.
"Are the people of Mohism really so bold?" asked the queen in a deep voice.
"I can't believe it either. But if the Mo family didn't have such a plan, why would they be so determined to marry their daughter to Shijie? But Shijie has already..."
Princess Pingnan pursed her lips, and naturally did not dare to say any dirty words in front of the Queen.
"Moreover, in order to marry Mo Qianyu, Mo Qingtian gave his stunningly beautiful third daughter to the prince."
"Oh? Stunning beauty?" The queen raised the corner of her mouth coldly with a bit of disdain.
She was called "most beautiful as a country, gorgeous as a peony" when she was young, and that was recognized by the whole country. Now, any young girl can also be called most beautiful as a country?
Princess Pingnan knew what the Queen was thinking, and hurriedly said, "Compared to your Majesty's Fengyi, that girl is certainly much inferior, but she is still very pretty."
"So, Mo Qingtian does have bad intentions." The Queen's eyes shone, and she said, "Go and call in the women of the Mo family. I want to take a good look at this family!"
Among the people of the Mo family, she had only seen one person, Mo Qianxue, who was indeed very beautiful, and had good strength and reputation.
But she didn't know the other people in the Mohist School.
Following the Queen's order, the palace maid hurried out, and a moment later, she came in with a group of female relatives from the Mo family.
Outside the door, Mo Qianyu's cheeks flushed with excitement.
"Mother, the Queen has summoned me. Does that mean she has approved of me?"
"Of course, the Queen will definitely agree to this." Aunt Shui also smiled. Now, all that was left was for Mo Huaxi to obey her orders, and the marriage would be a done deal! !
Hua Xi gave them a mocking look, thinking it was just daydreaming.
She didn't care about this excellent mother and daughter, but she was very concerned about what expression the queen would have when she saw her.
"The Queen is summoning you guys." The maid opened the curtain and let them in.
It was midsummer, and the sun was scorching outside, but it was very cool in the queen's palace.
The queen was half lying on a chaise longue, with a maid beside her gently waving a feather fan. She dozed with her eyes half closed, while Princess Pingnan was sitting upright beside her.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen." Aunt Shui quickly pulled Mo Qianyu down to kneel.
Hua Xi just bent his knees but did not kneel down.
The Princess of Pingnan gave her an unpleasant look, and the Queen snorted coldly and suddenly opened her eyes.
Hua Xi was tall and slender, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
The queen was startled, and suddenly sat up, with a sharp cold light in her eyes, staring at Hua Xi!
