There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

It's burning, it's burning.

It has not only been burned several times, but it is being burned right now.

Jiang Mo had no idea what Yan Lingji was up to.

If we're going to borrow a technique, then let's just lend him the Barrier-Breaking Eye Technique, which is an extension and variation of the Fire Charm Technique. That way, our teamwork will be perfect.

Why do you have to add something to it?

His blood and energy, already stirred by the beauty in his arms, surged even more wildly.

It's as if it wants to burst forth like a volcanic eruption.

Whether she noticed Jiang Mo's increasingly heavy breathing, or simply resentful that Jiang Mo wasn't looking at her, who was so close, but instead glancing at the younger Hong Lian, Hu Meiren moved a little closer to Jiang Mo as she spoke.

Her soft, delicate skin clung tightly to Jiang Mo's body, almost without any blind spots.

Those thin clothes are completely ineffective as a barrier under these circumstances.

Instead, it revealed a hint of feigned reluctance.

It makes one more attentive and more proactive in capturing those wonderful tactile sensations that come from time to time.

With a rather fierce offensive, she forcefully drew Jiang Mo's attention back to herself. Even though he was quite concerned about Zi Nu's situation, he couldn't help but look back at her.

"You're being unfair. I never intended to provoke Princess Honglian."

Jiang Mo refuted Hu Meiren's accusations with considerable confidence, showing no sign of embarrassment, and stated emphatically:

"Even if there were any favors involved, they have all been repaid with gifts."

"Now that we've confirmed your situation, you need to keep your distance from them to avoid attracting unnecessary attention and getting involved as well."

Hearing Jiang Mo say that he had also considered her safety, Hu Meiren felt a warmth in her heart.

Yet, she still wore a coquettish expression, poking Jiang Mo's heart with her pink-painted fingers, and muttered resentfully:

"Oh, so it's that little girl Honglian who's been bothering you? You're quite proud of yourself!"

"No, I definitely have a headache."

With a serious expression, Jiang Mo tried his best to put on a righteous and indignant look under Hu Meier's close seduction, vehemently denying that he had ever felt any smugness or pride.

What? Hu Meiren didn't file any charges in this regard?

That would be a firm denial and refusal to admit it, a way to prevent problems from arising in the first place and to avoid giving Hu Meiren an opportunity to cause trouble.

"Oh, I see~"

Hu Meiren looked at Jiang Mo with a smile. Her charming voice, with its deliberately drawn-out tones, was particularly enticing and made people's hearts itch with desire.

"So, apart from Princess Honglian, you did all of this intentionally?"

"For example, the owner of Zilan Pavilion, whose beauty is renowned throughout the city of Xinzheng and who has countless suitors willing to fall at her feet? Or the unruly Baiyue enchantress who once struck fear into the hearts of countless people?"

The soft laughter and whispers revealed a sense of absolute certainty that she had Jiang Mo firmly in control.

Jiang Mo's composure when talking about Honglian vanished. Hearing the description from Hu Mei's mouth, he almost choked on his own saliva.

Despite being deep within the palace, they could hardly step outside its walls.

Shouldn't it be that information is cut off and difficult to circulate, and people know very little about what is happening in the outside world? How can they describe the situation around them so accurately?

You should know that Han Fei was a man of keen insight and exceptional reasoning ability.

However, he still did not know the specifics of Yan Lingji's situation, and at most he had some guesses in his mind. He could not possibly describe it as accurately as Hu Meiren was doing now.

You should know that Jiang Mo is hiding in the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

Organizations skilled in intelligence gathering naturally have their own unique methods for concealing information and avoiding suspicion.

Despite searching for Yan Lingji for so long under the cover of night, they still haven't been able to pinpoint her location in Zi Lan Xuan.

This clearly demonstrates Zi Nu's abilities in intelligence work.

At this moment, Hu Meiren described Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji's situation with great certainty, as if she had seen it with her own eyes next to Jiang Mo.

Wait, right next to me?

A thought that flashed through Jiang Mo's mind unintentionally struck him like a thunderbolt, leading to a rather bold guess. He suddenly turned his head and stared back at the seemingly harmless-looking Xiaobai.

Lady Hu was in the palace, but this little fellow had been wandering around her for many days! It had already explored every nook and cranny of the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

We were careless and didn't take precautions!

At this moment, Jiang Mo was so frustrated that he wanted to slap his thigh, but he still had some confusion in his heart.

Jiang Mo could understand that spirit beasts possessed some human-like qualities.

But how did this little guy manage to tip off Hu Meiren? Could it be that he's actually mastered a foreign language? That would be almost like him becoming a spirit!

As Jiang Mo pondered inwardly, Hu Meiren's slender fingertips gently caressed his face, pinching his chin to draw his gaze back to her. Her blunt and explicit words were meant to pierce his heart:

"You seem to be enjoying your life with two women on either side. Perhaps you've already forgotten about me, lost in the sea of ​​desire with that vixen?"

A deep sense of resentment emanated from Hu Meiren's voice.

Jiang Mo was made to look like a heartless beast who abandoned her, leaving her alone in an empty room for many years, lamenting the fleeting nature of youth and the aging of her beauty...

Jiang Mo couldn't refute it.

After all, from Hu Meiren's perspective, things fit the previous assumption very well, especially the fact that he risked his life to save Yan Lingji but then ignored her.

This was something that Hu Meiren cared about very much.

When accusing Jiang Mo of indulging in lust with Yan Lingji, she not only gritted her teeth with a look on her face, but also pointed her finger directly at his heart. It was as if she was prepared to cut open his chest to see if he still had a conscience if Jiang Mo's answer did not satisfy her.

"Ahem, it's not what you think..."

If Hu Meiren were to actually cut open his chest with a knife, Jiang Mo might be more composed, after all, he's someone who's been on the edge of a knife countless times.

How could a mere fatal wound possibly make him lose his composure?

On the contrary, it was Hu Meiren's melancholy and sorrowful expression that Jiang Mo found hard to resist. The faint glimmer of tears in her beautiful eyes made him feel his scalp tingle.

Jiang Mo was also helpless.

How am I supposed to explain this to Hu Meiren? I can't exactly say, "Oh, I'm sorry, we didn't even know each other when I went to rescue Yan Lingji."

The complicated relationship and the like have only recently become clear.

Without being able to reveal the Book of Past Events, even Jiang Mo himself felt that these words were less illogical than drunken ramblings.

From Hu Meiren's perspective, it's simply incomprehensible.

After all, the things Jiang Mo had recently experienced or had not even encountered in the books were already distant memories for her.

If the truth cannot be explained, then excuses must be found in other ways.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Mo decided to shift all the blame onto Han Wang'an, and immediately sighed, "How could I forget you?"

"However, the palace is heavily guarded. How can we dare to break in without being absolutely certain of our safety?"

However, even though he had made excuses for himself, Jiang Mo did not intend to completely deceive Hu Meiren, and his earnest words revealed his true feelings:

"But don't worry, I will definitely get you out."

"Even if it means climbing mountains of knives or wading through seas of fire..."

"No, don't take any risks! Please don't take any risks!! Things can be done slowly. I have ways to protect myself in the palace, so you don't need to worry."

Jiang Mo hadn't finished making his promise when Hu Meiren interrupted him by covering his mouth.

The latter's cheeks, which had been slightly flushed, turned deathly pale upon hearing the words "going into the sea of ​​fire," looking even worse than when Jiang Mo had deliberately maintained a distant relationship with her.

In an instant, I was plunged into the nightmare I least wanted to face.

Even her exquisitely shapely body trembled slightly uncontrollably in Jiang Mo's arms, and for a moment she seemed lost in thought, only able to murmur to herself:

"Please don't take any more risks, please don't leave me alone to put myself in danger again..."

This reaction looks so familiar. Didn't Yan Ling Ji have this kind of reaction before, like she was having a PTSD episode?

Hmm, I think I understand now what the ending of this second instance will be.

From Hu Meiren's reaction, Jiang Mo instantly understood many things. He hugged Hu Meiren tighter with some heartache, gently holding the small hand that was covering her lips, warming her fingertips that were cold with fear with his palm.

"Don't be afraid, I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere."

"I won't abandon you."

Hearing Jiang Mo's gentle and comforting voice, Hu Meiren's fearful and dazed eyes regained their light. She held Jiang Mo's hand tightly, staring intently at his face, seemingly still unsure if she was in reality.

It was just another illusion.

Without saying a word, Hu Meiren suddenly tiptoed and kissed Jiang Mo's lips, as if only by seeking more tenderness could she be sure that she was in reality and dispel the unease and fear in her heart.

The kiss came very abruptly.

However, Jiang Mo still had enough time to dodge. He knew that even with the illusion magic, being too intimate with Hu Meiren in the current situation posed a great and unpredictable danger.

Even so, how could he bear to run away?

Feeling the still-trembling Hu Meiren in his palm, Jiang Mo did not flinch, but instead lowered his head to meet her pink and moist lips.

Suddenly, a brightly colored parrot landed on a treetop, tilting its head to examine the two people.

It seemed unwilling to disturb the beauty of the moment, pacing back and forth, waiting for the two to separate, but after waiting in vain, it finally couldn't help but shout out:

"The young lady has arrived! Come and greet her! The young lady has arrived!!"

Chapter 79 Why didn't I see you just now?

Unlike Yan Lingji's passionate and unrestrained manner, even when Hu Meiren took the initiative to reach for Jiang Mo's lips, her movements remained gentle and delicate.

Her lips were as pale as snow, and even slightly cold.

However, it was only for a moment, and soon the two lips, which were burning hotter and hotter than honey wax, melted away quickly.

The sweet, fragrant aroma quickly seeped into their hearts.

Feeling Jiang Mo's kiss, which she initiated, Hu Meiren couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her beautiful eyes shimmering with tears.

Her originally pale cheeks quickly flushed red.

She was already naturally charming and alluring, but now, driven by passion, she became even more seductive, tempting men to commit crimes.
