" I am glad that your feelings are still the sa, Miss Qiang," the pressure that was filling the entire ward loosened the second Fu Zhao smiled causing the others to heave a sigh of relief. " I would have hated to make you depart from this world, more importantly, your mother is my dear friend and subject. It would be quite terrible if I was to hurt you."
" Haha," Mo Qiang did not say anything and simply laughed, she did not know about anyone but she was feeling quite troubled. At this mont she felt like a groom who was being forcefully married at gunpoint but even so, she could only put the magazine in her hands carefully to the side and under Fu Zhao's eyes she even caressed it a little to make it look like she really thought of it as a treasure.
It was all because of her bad luck, if she was born a bit luckier then——
" Don't worry," just as Mo Qiang thought that she was not going to do anything more, Fu Zhao parted her lips and then interrupted Mo Qiang's train of thought again. " I am not here to only hand a magazine to you," With a smile on her face she looked at Mo Qiang with a knowing look. " This was just a small appreciation for doing sothing good, the true reward is sothing else."
Mo Qiang's eyes lit up as she turned to look at Fu Zhao, this ti she was sure that she was going to get a large sum of money as a reward but instead of hearing the wonderful tone of money being added to her back account, she heard Fu Zhao say, " I thought long and hard before deciding that its better for our star nation to have a responsible guardian like you, which is why I ca here to offer you the position of assistant General, what do you think? If you take this position then you will be sitting in the sa position as your mother in a few years."
This ti it was Mo Yan who stiffened beside her Wen Gui too turned to look at Fu Zhao, he had a feeling that the reason Fu Zhao was bringing Mo Qiang to the imperial star with her was because she wanted to balance the power out in the court but they did not want to do anything with the imperial court anymore!
Even the three rs were shocked, they looked at Mo Qiang and then turned to glance at each other. Though this position was respectable it was too flashy and dangerous, what was more this post was right under Madam Wei.
There was no way that woman would sit still if Mo Qiang was to accept that position!
Fu Qi Hong turned to look at his mother with a suspicious look on his face, as far as he was aware, his mother did not discuss this matter with the officials in the court nor did she hold a discussion with Madam Wei. What was she trying to do by pulling Mo Qiang back into the power struggle?
Though he was slightly confused he did not say anything and simply left his mother alone. Instead, he turned his attention to Mo Xifeng who stood behind her mother but the second he turned to look at Mo Xifeng, the latter sensed his gaze and looked up at him.
As soon as Fu Qi Hong's gaze t with Mo Xifeng, he blushed heavily before turning to look away. This woman …this woman wrote that poem for him, she must truly like him!
Mo Xifeng: (｡· _ ·｡) ? Why was the prince looking at her as if they were so distant lovers who beca estranged from each other?
Though Mo Xifeng was confused she did not ponder on the question for long as all her attention was on Mo Qiang. She was afraid to hear the answer from her sister, as she knew how much Mo Qiang wanted to be a general. It was her dream to succeed Mo Yan and it was also the reason why she hated her. Mo Qiang thought that with her skills, Mo Xifeng would snatch the position which belonged to her and thus she was always on guard with her ….
And so, if Mo Qiang beca the General then doesn't that an that she will start being on guard with her once again? Mo Xifeng did not want that…the two of them were finally getting close even Wen Gui was willing to accept her a little bit.
Just as the tension was running high, Mo Qiang shook her head and then determinedly refused, " I am thankful that her majesty thinks so highly of but I am afraid that I cannot take on this responsibility. I have sothing that I want to do very much and I am afraid that becoming an assistant General would make stray from the path that I have decided for myself."
Fu Zhao narrowed her eyes as she slowly raised from her chair causing the rest of the Mo family to go down on their knees as she asked in a rumbling voice, " Are you refusing to accept the offer handed to you by the Empress?"
No sooner did she finish speaking Mo Qiang felt the pressure from earlier co back and this ti it was twice as edgy as before. Her hands clenched in her lap as she parted her lips to say sothing but the pressure was too much for her to bear.
And just as Mo Qiang thought that she was going to end up fainting once again, she heard a chilly growl from behind followed by a set of 'woofs'.
At first, she did not pay attention to Huhu's barking but as the tension started to leave her body, Mo Qiang's eyes widened as she rembered that if her level was to rise the powers of her spirits would also rise.
Thus, she imdiately yelled at the pup to stop, " Huhu no!"
But it was too late, a set of five long fingers stretched forward and picked Huhu up from the bed as Fu Zhao's eyes twinkled with glee of satisfaction, " Looks like you are hiding a lot from , Miss Qiang. Would you confess on your own…or should I make you confess?"
