Chapter 316 The Profound Meaning of Late Summer
Princess He immediately said, "That girl looks so fake! Why won't you let me say it?!"
Even after getting married, Princess He's temper didn't change much; she still acted like a spoiled young lady and was self-centered.
Lou Tingting nodded: "It does look fake, but have you ever considered that your little sister actually knows what's going on?"
"What do you mean?!" Princess He glared at Lou Tingting with a hint of anger in her eyes.
Princess He's temper is about to flare up, and Xia Mo appears.
Princess He immediately suppressed her temper, walked towards Xia Mo, and asked, "Little sister, did you already know that there was something wrong with that girl named Xu Yiyi?"
Xia Mo nodded: "I wonder which faction sent them. I'll just have to use them."
"Use?" Just as Princess He was about to get angry that Xia Mo had brought someone with ill intentions home, her attention was immediately drawn to another sentence.
"what?"
“She’s probably trying to seduce your brother-in-law,” Xia Mo bluntly told her, startling her three sisters-in-law.
“Little sister! After today, King Jiang will be the new emperor, how could you…” Ting Loulou took a deep breath and shook her head vigorously at Xia Mo.
This can't be done!
What kind of woman would go and test her husband's infidelity by having another woman?!
“I believe in Huangfu Qian,” Xia Mo said firmly.
In fact, she had already sent a telepathic message to Huangfu Qian, explaining everything. This conversation was meant for the little girl who thought she was a powerful demon in disguise.
"Little sister, you..."
Princess He was momentarily speechless; her anger had long since been forgotten.
"Sister-in-law, you're pregnant," Xia Mo said, quickly scanning Princess He's body with her divine sense.
"Huh?" Princess He looked down at her lower abdomen in surprise and said, "Little sister, what are you saying? Your elder brother and I have been sleeping in separate rooms for the past month."
Princess He's temper offended Brother Xia, who didn't tolerate her spoiled attitude at all and insisted on sleeping in separate rooms. Princess He realized her mistake and was apologizing to Brother Xia, who accepted it. However, the punishment had to be completed, so the two of them hadn't shared a room for a month.
“The baby is only forty-five days old,” Xia Mo said.
Princess He placed her hands on her lower abdomen, unable to suppress the joy in her eyes, and gazed at Xia Mo with sparkling eyes.
Xia Mo smiled as she looked at Princess He, who was as happy as a child.
A potential minor family argument vanished without a trace.

Inside the Imperial Study in the palace—
The Prince of Zhen failed to kidnap Xia Mo, so he resorted to verbal confrontation with Huangfu Qian.
“My father was the Crown Prince, and I am the heir of the Prince of Zhen’s Mansion. Now that my father is gone, the successor should be me, no matter which logic you follow,” the heir of the Prince of Zhen said excitedly as he faced Huangfu Qian with his neck stiff.
"is it?"
The sound of late summer forcefully interrupted from outside the Imperial Study.
"Someone who wants to kidnap his aunt, what right do you have to talk about reason here? Do you think you're morally upright?" Xia Mo walked to Huangfu Qian's side and sat directly on the dragon throne.
“A morally flawed person is standing here trying to reason with us,” Xia Mo tugged at Huangfu Qian’s hand, signaling him to hurry up, as they had other things to do.
Huangfu Qian looked at the Prince of Zhen's heir with a blank expression: "Have you forgotten? The Emperor is not dead yet; he is merely recuperating in the Yangxian Palace. As for this position of Regent, you..."
Every word Huangfu Qian uttered touched the heart of the Prince of Zhen.
Are you worthy?
The Prince of Zhen swallowed hard. Looking at his own small frame and then at the mature and experienced Huangfu Qian, who controlled the military power of the whole country, he realized that he was indeed no match for Huangfu Qian!
But he was unwilling to accept it!
"My aunt just said I was going to kidnap her. How could she slander me?" The Prince of Zhen realized that he couldn't win the argument with Huangfu Qian, so he simply changed the subject.
As long as he wins this argument, he can still use it to create buzz!
"Bring a witness," Huangfu Qian said without wasting words with the Prince of Zhen, and ordered someone to be brought in and thrown in front of the Prince of Zhen.
The Prince of Zhen recognized the identity of the person being escorted at a glance, and was terrified.
"Slander?" Xia Mo reminded him.
The Prince of Zhen was so frightened that his face turned completely pale, and his expression was one of utter despair. It was all over!
"This record will not be issued for now," Huangfu Qian waved his hand.
Given the limited abilities of the Prince of Zhen, this witness is sufficient to suppress him.
The Prince of Zhen has left.
Inside the Imperial Study, all the other people had left, leaving only Xia Mo and Huangfu Qian.
With a nimble leap, Xia Mo landed squarely on Huangfu Qian's lap...
……
Two hours later—
As Xia Mo straightened her clothes, she smacked her lips, looking as if she had just enjoyed a delicious meal.
Huangfu Qian's voice was still somewhat hoarse as he said, "Aren't you afraid it will use its special abilities to control me?"
A hint of disdain flashed in Xia Mo's eyes: "It?"
Huangfu Qian said, "Have you considered that I don't want to be in contact with any women other than you?"
"It's better to have normal contact," Xia Mo said meaningfully.
Huangfu Qian stared intently at Xia Mo, and understood.
"I will tell you what to do via telepathy at any time," Xia Mo winked playfully at Huangfu Qian.
Huangfu Qian: "..."

Two days later—
After the sudden death of the Prince of Zhen, the power of regent fell into the hands of Huangfu Qian.
Huangfu Qian trained many subordinates and did not intend to do everything himself. Instead, he assigned tasks according to their functions and other categories, while he was in charge of overall coordination.
With this arrangement, Huangfu Qian also had plenty of free time.
Jiang Wang Mansion —
Huangfu Qian returned to the palace wearing the five-clawed dragon robe of the Prince of the Regent. As soon as he entered the palace, a little girl with a delicate face like a porcelain doll, so beautiful that she seemed unreal, tripped and fell in front of him.
Huangfu Qian took a few steps back, seemingly oblivious to the situation.
The little girl, who was actually a demon in disguise, crashed to the ground with a loud "bang."
"Waaah..."
The little girl, in the form of a great demon, looked pitifully at Huangfu Qian with tears in her eyes.
Huangfu Qian hesitated for a moment before meeting the gaze of the little girl who was actually a demon in disguise.
When the little girl, who was actually a demon in disguise, made eye contact with Huangfu Qian, she immediately used some of her energy to cast a bewitching spell.
Xia Mo used her divine sense to steal the energy used by the other party into the energy conversion array in her soul space.
The little girl, who was actually a demon in disguise, was astonished to find that Huangfu Qian was completely unaffected by her mental interference! Her eyes widened in surprise.
Xia Mo is a person of great fortune, so she was able to evade its petty tricks. But what about Huangfu Qian?
The little girl, who was actually a demon in disguise, looked at Huangfu Qian and made another mistake.
Huangfu Qian not only possesses good fortune, but also a strong dragon aura and the power of national destiny that shine with golden light!
The little girl, who was actually a demon in disguise, drooled profusely, and her eyes, like those of a hungry wolf that had been starving for a long time, stared intently at Huangfu Qian.
The power of the world's origin can help it cultivate; the effects will only be better with dragon energy and the power of national destiny!
The dragon's energy and the power of the nation's destiny can not only enhance its cultivation level, but also make its cultivation level more stable!
Similarly, dragon energy and national fortune are even more difficult to collect, which is why it assigns its subordinate systems to perform tasks primarily focused on collecting these energies.
Now that it has branched out here, then... will it be able to satisfy its craving for this delicious dragon energy and national fortune power?
Thinking about the increase in cultivation that would result from this, the little girl in the form of a great demon had glistening... uh... drool coming out of the corner of her mouth!
