"Aunt-Master?" She watched as Yang Xirong suddenly emerged, charging toward her with a stern expression.
In haste, Qiao Mu retreated into Mo Lian's embrace and tugged at his sleeve. "I can forgive you for frightening me earlier. Convince Aunt-Master to go back."
With Crown Prince Mo's sharp intellect and eloquence, he should be able to placate Aunt-Master Yang with a few words.
Mo Lian paid her no heed, prompting Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao to feel that her little Emperor's authority was being seriously challenged.
She shot him an angry glare and took refuge behind him. "Aunt-Master, what are you doing? Everyone is watching."
Finally, she realized that Mo Lian and Duan Yue had used their auras to isolate everyone earlier. In fact, they had all been lurking in the shadows, observing her frantic attempts to call them!
It was truly devious!
