Chapter 157 – Destined to Help You (1)
Mo Linyuan remained still. He only narrowed his eyes and asked, “Who allowed you to rush about the palace so randomly?”
Mo Die was stunned silly with his unfriendly attitude, but when she thought about how she was Mo Linyuan’s sole sibling left, her attitude became more forceful and shameless.
“I am your sister! Why you–why can she sit next to you while I am not even allowed to come see you? ”
If Mo Die hadn’t included Ye Mu in this ordeal and dragged her down, Mo Linyuan wouldn’t have done anything. But now that she included Ye Mu for comparison, this made Mo Linyuan incredibly furious.
“Sister? A sister won’t sell out her own brother,” he coldly remarked.
The former Empress was already dead, and Mo Die being alive was just a stroke of luck. Back then, the Empress risked her life to save the former Emperor, and if it wasn’t for Mo Die, the people who were loyal to the Empress wouldn’t have died for vain at all.
Mo Linyuan’s icy words instantly caused Mo Die’s face to turn pale, while Ye Mu’s eyes also widened. No wonder Mo Linyuan never talked about this little sister of his… she had actually done such a thing?
Mo Die bit her lower lip. Sure enough, her royal brother still remembered her betrayal before, which explains his hatred, but she was still so young then. How could she be willing to leave the palace where she had lived all her life and suffer? She didn’t want to give up the luxury. What else could she do other than to sell her brother to please the empress dowager? Isn’t it human nature to take advantage of an opportunity to avoid danger?
Her eyes filled with tears as she said aggrievedly, “But no matter what, I am still sister! The empress is already dead, and all our siblings have also followed her in the afterlife. Now only the two of us are left with each other, can’t you just forget about the past and start over with me?”
“Dependent on you? You’re wrong.” Mo Linyuan looked at her face, “I will support you for the sake of my deceased mother and fellow countrymen. However, refrain from interfering with my life. I have already found someone worthy of me, so it is not necessary to be part of mine.”
As he spoke, he pulled Ye Mu’s hand and smiled. “I don’t care about you. But inside this Mo imperial palace, I hope you will be smart-headed and keep your distance from Ye Mu. Otherwise, I will take back everything I gave you.”
His decisive attitude immediately shattered all of Mo Die’s hope. How could he do this? She was clearly a princess!
In the end, the food she brought for Mo Linyuan fell to the ground as Mo Die fled in frustration. And when she thought of Ye Mu, who was dressed extravagantly and looked even more eye-catching than a real princess, her eyes showed unwillingness and hatred.
The only person she could rely on now was the old emperor. If only Mo Linyuan and Zhao Yunqin had fought to the point where both were severely injured, then she would never have let go of this opportunity! There was also this Ye Mu who came out from nowhere. Who even knew where this bastard came from? Was she even worthy to steal her position as princess?

After Mo Linyuan dealt with Mo Die, Ye Mu could not help but ask, “Do you really have no good feelings towards this little sister of yours?”
“Her temperament is bad, so stay away from her in the future.”
Ye Mu listened and opted to look through Mo Linyuan’s paper works. Although he was feeling a bit weathered, he still had the responsibility of dealing with national affairs. And before the night could pass, Ye Mu discovered that there were some papers that were neglected to the side. She curiously took it out and read it.
“The corn is full of locusts?”
Mo Linyuan nodded.
She opened another one. This time, written on it were proposed reforms to the imperial examinations.
