Chapter 693: Speculating Expansion (2)_1
Even if Emperor Huian tolerated the Lin Family, they could still only follow a dark path until the end; otherwise, once Chu Heng assumed the throne, everyone in the Lin Family would not escape death.
Moreover, Emperor Huian constantly thought about killing the Lin Family, pulling her into this dangerous vortex.
All these things were merely the speculation of two people, not necessarily accurate. To deal with the Lin Family, the root cause must be addressed, and Mo Yan was not willing to clean up the mess for those who plotted against her, even if that person was the ruler of a nation. She had to find opportunities to recoup from elsewhere.
This speculation, Xiao Ruiyuan kept from Chu Heng, telling only Mo Yan. Otherwise, given Chu Heng’s hatred for the Lin Family and Lin Imperial Concubine, in his agitation, no one knew what irreversible actions he might take.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Ruiyuan had to return to Jingshan Villa. He was ordered to protect Chu Heng and could not stay out for too long. He came this time because he had received news from Yan Junyu and was worried that Mo Yan would have reckless thoughts, so he made a special trip.
Forcing down the urge to embrace the person before him, Xiao Ruiyuan’s low voice contained a trace of reluctance, "Yanyan, once your cousin is in better health, we’ll be able to see each other often! If anything happens on your end, I might not be able to look after you. You must be careful, and remember to have the Hidden Guard send me a message."
The two had a hard time meeting, and they had only been alone for less than two hours. The reluctance in Mo Yan’s heart went without saying, but she didn’t show it on her face, to avoid making it even harder for them to part, "You don’t need to worry about me. Whether it’s the Lin Family or King Heng, whether they use underhanded tricks or come at me openly, I can handle it. It’s your side that’s far more dangerous; you need to be more careful."
The woman’s concern was greatly appreciated by Xiao Ruiyuan, and he finally couldn’t resist. He reached out and gently embraced her, remaining silent for a long time.
