Chapter 1315 - 1322: I Don’t Want a Divorce (2)
Thus, the matter was concluded, and Duke Li Guo decided not to pursue it further. He rose, bade farewell to Nangong Yi, and left the palace with the continuously coughing Mo Qingshan.
When they reached the palace gate, they found Mo Zili and Mo Ziqi both there, one leaning leisurely against the Stone Lion at the entrance, arms crossed, casually watching the sunset on the horizon,while the other paced back and forth at the palace gate, his expression gloomy as if facing a formidable enemy.
Upon seeing Duke Li Guo, Mo Zili quickly walked over, knelt before him, and said in a deep voice, "Grandfather, please take me into the palace. I have urgent matters that require me to see the Emperor."
Duke Li Guo’s face darkened as he asked, "What are you going in there for? Is it about your divorce from the Wu Family?"
Mo Zili said candidly, "Exactly. I wish to ask the Emperor to grant his favor, for I do not wish to divorce."
Duke Li Guo looked around, saw nobody passing by except a few guards standing far away, and scolded in a low voice, "You fool, if you didn’t want to divorce, why did you do such a stupid thing, causing your father to be scolded by Marquis of Jian’an, nearly dying from anger in the Royal Study? Now that the Edict has been issued, allowing you both to divorce, the matter has been settled, and there’s no turning back. Why are you still causing such a fuss? Hurry back home, pack up Lady Wu’s bridal gifts, and return them to their family—that’s what’s proper."
