The Emperor believed for more than a decade and also pampered the Eldest Princess for the sa duration.
Mo Qing was disdainful of this, glanced at the token, and said, "Nonsense that bewilders the masses!"
The Eldest Princess is dead, so be it. The Emperor now feels irritated whenever he sees the Eldest Princess, thinking she has disgraced the Imperial Family, and he won’t care about Mo Shu’s life or death.
The existence of Mo Shu was her greatest obstacle.
Upon hearing the news of Mo Shu’s death, Mo Qing felt incredibly good, even giving others a rare good face when going to the academy.
The Imperial Family has its own academy, where many children of officials co to study and improve themselves.
Seeing Mo Qing walk in, a man who had been waiting in the academy for quite so ti finally brightened up and walked toward Mo Qing, "Greetings, Second Princess."
Mo Qing’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster upon seeing this person. She smiled sweetly and called out, "Brother Xuan Yuan."
Xuanyuan Yichuan, one of the teacher’s most valued students, dignified in appearance, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and, more importantly, well-mannered, courteous, and gentle, was the ideal husband in the hearts of many won.
Mo Qing had long been fond of him. Seeing him initiate a conversation with herself, her heart almost soared, and her face was full of anticipation as she looked at him.
Xuanyuan Yichuan was not dense; of course, he understood what Mo Qing’s expression ant. He awkwardly coughed and, with a hint of apology, said, "Second Princess, you seem to have been in good spirits lately. Is there sothing worth celebrating?"
Mo Qing was even more radiant.
With Mo Shu so unfortunate, of course, she’s delighted!
Today, having directly heard the news of Mo Shu’s death, Mo Qing could hardly resist setting off firecrackers to celebrate.
But in the eyes of others, she is the knowledgeable, understanding, gentle, and kind Second Princess. Mo Qing knew proper restraint and said sowhat shyly, "Brother Xuan Yuan, you have such keen insight. Indeed, nothing can be hidden from you. My palace’s little cat gave birth, so I am very happy."
This was, of course, a randomly made-up reason.
Xuanyuan Yichuan nodded, "So that’s how it is... By the way, it’s been a long ti since I last saw your elder sister, how has the Eldest Princess been recently?"
Mo Qing’s smiling face faltered a bit, but she quickly held it together, saying, "Ever since father confined my elder sister, I haven’t been able to see her anymore. Brother Xuan Yuan, is there sothing you need?"
Xuanyuan Yichuan seed a bit dispirited and said, "Lately, I’ve heard so rumors among the public about the Eldest Princess... I don’t believe them, so I wanted to see her myself, Second Princess, could you..."
No!
Mo Qing bit her lip but maintained her gentle deanor, "Brother Xuan Yuan, though she is my elder sister, after all... it’s often said that where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Elder sister indeed brought back two children, which angered father, and that’s why she was confined..."
Xuanyuan Yichuan looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
Mo Qing seized the opportunity and said, "Although elder sister is engaged to you, judging by father’s intentions, it seems he wants to annul your engagent and select another suitable, learned, and gentle partner for you..."
"I don’t want that!" Xuanyuan Yichuan said without thinking, "What suitable match, if not her, then I want no one!"
His voice was quite loud.
Mo Qing’s internal jealousy almost exploded.
Xuanyuan Yichuan seed to realize his slip and quickly said, "My apologies for my loss of composure."
Mo Qing remained calm, with a hint of sympathy, "Why are you putting yourself through this..."
Fortunately, Mo Shu is dead.
No matter how much you like Mo Shu, you can’t marry a dead person.
Given the Xuanyuan family’s status, they will inevitably marry a princess.
Among the eligible princesses, there was only her left.
Thinking of this, Mo Qing finally felt much more at ease.

Mo Qing: So what if it’s the Eldest Princess? Didn’t she still end up dead by my hands? (Boastfully stands with hands on hips)
Mo Shu: Hmm?
