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

It doesn't feel threatening at all; on the contrary, it makes people enjoy it.

Enjoy the feeling of being truly loved.

But this time the situation was different; it was a real fire in the harem, and what Jiang Mo didn't expect was that it was Yan Lingji who started the trouble first.

Wasn't he quite enthusiastic when Yan Lingji was egging him on before?

Recently, she even used Nongyu to flirt with him.

Why did you suddenly turn on me?

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

I can't understand it.

Despite his inner grumbling, even though he couldn't understand Yan Lingji's thoughts, Jiang Mo knew that he had to find a way to appease her at this moment, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything else peacefully.

Moreover, if Yan Lingji is still furious, then Jiang Mo's mood is destined to be just as bad.

The two of them were already in cahoots.

In every aspect.

Jiang Mo then smiled broadly, gently pulled Yan Lingji into his arms, and spoke in a tone as if coaxing a child:

"No way!"

"All this trouble was actually to give you a surprise. Now you can close your eyes and quietly look forward to it in your heart~"

"surprise?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Mo would say that. Yan Lingji raised an eyebrow in surprise and muttered subconsciously:

"Now you know how to please people?"

"Too late! I'd like to see what surprises you have in store. If you're just going to give me a perfunctory answer, hmph..."

As she said this, Yan Lingji still obediently closed her eyes, her pretty face showing barely suppressed anticipation. She could have used the Heart-Connecting Gu to peek into Jiang Mo's thoughts and figure out what the so-called surprise was.

But at this moment, he forcibly suppressed his curiosity.

We eagerly await Jiang Mo revealing the answer himself.

However, Yan Lingji was different from Zi Nu, who was always calm and composed. She had been impatient since childhood. Even though she forcibly suppressed the restless thoughts in her heart, she still seemed quite uneasy.

She's either tilting her head as if listening intently, or twisting her waist and swaying her body, like a restless little wildcat.

The carving knife, which had just been put away, quietly slipped from his sleeve into his palm.

Jiang Mo pointed it at himself, but also closed his eyes to ponder and recall. The book in his mind, which had been silent all along, began to glow slightly.

A masterful pen that brings forth wonders from the depths of hell.

Compared to his clumsiness when using it on Xiang Dongjun, Jiang Mo was far more skilled when using it on himself. He didn't encounter any problems such as not being able to find the historical projection, and easily awakened the memories dormant in his heart.

There was no resistance whatsoever, no awkwardness whatsoever.

Even though the historical projection fell on Jiang Mo, his entire being underwent subtle changes from head to toe, yet he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

It felt like they had just changed their clothes.

In reality, his entire appearance has undergone subtle changes, losing some of the refined and noble air he has gradually developed recently, and gaining a bit more exotic charm.

The aura emanating from him had become even more wild and eerie.

Before Jiang Mo could even tell her to open her eyes, the familiar aura sent a jolt through Yan Lingji, and she eagerly opened her eyes.

Finally, I saw that person from the depths of my memory standing vividly before me.

With a smile playing on his lips, Jiang Mo opened his arms to Yan Lingji. On his arms, which peeked out from his sleeves, one could even see the patterns Yan Lingji had drawn. A little embarrassed to say anything too sentimental, Jiang Mo exaggeratedly laughed and said:

"Surprised? Unexpected? Happy?"

Yan Lingji did not answer, but cautiously raised her hand and gently touched Jiang Mo's face.

After confirming there was no human skin mask and it wasn't a disguise, a misty fog slowly appeared in those bright, light blue eyes. Her lips trembled slightly as she uttered words that were almost a whisper:

"Amo, it really is you, I missed you so much..."

Putting away his slightly playful expression, Jiang Mo tenderly pulled Yan Lingji into his arms, gently inhaling the delicate fragrance of her hair, his voice soft and gentle:

"We should be happy to be reunited after so long."

"I will always be by your side."

No need for sweet words or flowery phrases; their hearts, already intertwined, are now closely bound together. All jealousy and rivalry, all conflicts within the harem, vanish like smoke.

To lose something and then get it back is truly one of the most fortunate things in life.

And where would they find the energy to care about anything else?

Even though Jiang Mo left to attend to other matters, Yan Lingji was not dissatisfied; she simply watched him leave with a touch of reluctance.

"It is Amo, but I'm afraid it's not just Amo..."

Leaning lazily against the door, Yan Lingji suddenly murmured to herself, but there was no entanglement in her voice; instead, she seemed quite relieved.

Chapter 39 I Don't Want You to Leave

"You finally have time to give me an explanation?"

Having waited behind her desk for an unknown amount of time, Zi Nu finally heard a knock on the door. Looking at Jiang Mo, who entered after being granted permission, her expression was one of deep resentment.

"You really are a very busy person!"

"There's no other way. Dongjun and Yueshen are not good people. If Yan'er isn't there to keep an eye on them, how could I dare to leave?"

Seeing Zi Nu's expression, Jiang Mo couldn't help but inwardly groan:

Having many female confidantes is sometimes not a good thing. You have to appease one after another, it's like trying to hold down a gourd only to have another pop up!

The method used to deal with Yan Lingji was clearly ineffective against Zi Nu.

Jiang Mo sighed, revealing a hint of fatigue and weariness on his face, and shook his head as he walked over and sat down in front of Zi Nu:

"Yan'er, she's not easy to deal with either, she insists on..."

"Sigh, forget it, what's the point of telling you all this? Whether it's trouble or problems, it's all my own doing."

There's absolutely no need for sophisticated acting skills.

He had to uncover the Moon Goddess's hiding place, deceive Jing Ke, find a way to heal the Eastern Emperor's wounds, and then appease the angry Eastern Lord. After all that, even with Jiang Mo's extraordinary energy, he was inevitably exhausted both physically and mentally.

It's just that it's not shown to others.

It wasn't until she sat down in front of Zi Nu that she revealed this vulnerable side and poured out her grievances.

"You've worked hard too."

Seeing Jiang Mo's exhausted appearance, Zi Nu, who was initially a little dissatisfied, couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. Her resentful gaze softened a bit, and she gently pushed the orchid wine on the table toward Jiang Mo.

Considerate and gentle.

"It's not hard work, but I feel really bad for dragging you and Zilanxuan into this without informing me of anything."

He raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, the warm wine sending a warm feeling through Jiang Mo's heart. He put down his cup, gently took Zi Nu's hand, and looked intently at her with genuine, sincere apology.

"It may be too late to say this now, but I am truly sorry."

"If you know it's too late, then don't say anything. Besides, getting involved isn't something that happened today."

Without pulling her hand back, Zi Nu only gave Jiang Mo a slight glare.

"So what's the reason? Why take in Dongjun and Yueshen, two potentially dangerous individuals? It can't be because you were attracted to them and forgot they're still enemies, can it?"

With a half-smile, Zi Nu awaited Jiang Mo's answer.

"Firstly, it's to repay the favor Dongjun did for me before. Secondly, that Moon Goddess gave me a condition I couldn't refuse..."

Without deliberately concealing anything, Jiang Mo took out his magical writing brush and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter. Upon hearing that this thing was closely related to the legendary Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon, Zi Nu's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"So, how long do you plan to keep them here?"

"This is probably not a place to stay for long."

Forcing herself to look away from the exquisite brush, Zi Nu showed no intention of coveting the treasure. Instead, she asked Jiang Mo to confirm the matter she was concerned about.

One Yan Ling Ji is fine.

Now that Dongjun and Yueshen have joined the group, could it be that he really sees Zilanxuan as a place to keep his mistresses?

Even the best-tempered person can't hold back anymore!

"I came here mainly to talk to you about this matter. Although it's a bit difficult to say, I still have to say it..."

Jiang Mo's gaze darted around, revealing a hint of guilt.

Zi Nu, who was quite familiar with this scene, raised her hand to gently support her cheek, smiling as she waited for Jiang Mo to shamelessly make another request.

Surely you're not asking her to help take care of Dongjun and Yueshen, are you?

That's really not being a stranger at all.

"We are sorry for bothering you during this time. We will always remember the kindness of Miss Meng Zi Nu in taking us in and caring for us."

What reached his ears was not Jiang Mo's shameless request.

It was not a question of gratitude, but a heartfelt expression of appreciation.

However, Zi Nu showed no sign of happiness upon receiving these words of thanks. Instead, her breathing became slightly labored, and her expression lost its composure.

A vague unease began to fester in my heart.

She seemed to realize what Jiang Mo was about to say, so she subconsciously tried to use the contents of her glass to block and delay him. Before she could even get up to pour herself a drink, she pushed the wine glass next to her toward Jiang Mo.

"But all good things must come to an end, and it's not good to keep bothering us here."

Jiang Mo did not accept the orchid wine that Zi Nu pushed over. He was organizing his thoughts in his mind, thinking about how to express himself more tactfully.

At least don't hurt the other person.

After much thought, he decided it was best to be direct and explain things clearly, so he looked at Zi Nu earnestly and said:

"What happened today will most likely happen again in the future."

"And I, Jiang, cannot guarantee that every incident will end peacefully without incident. To my shame, I have already caused enough trouble for Zilanxuan. It is truly not my wish to drag you into even greater trouble..."
