Chapter 353 Wu Yao is back

He made himself sound so miserable, yet his father just left without a care.

Ying Wuyai sneered. Fortunately, he still had his heart's blood, otherwise he would really be in agony tomorrow.

There are still several days until the next full moon. Mo Xiao has found so many elixirs and medicines to nourish Mo Li's mother, so Cui Jinhua will definitely be able to wake up.

Given her doting affection for Mo Li, the heart's blood would certainly not be a problem, so he wouldn't have to worry about it.

But when will this kind of life end?

That stupid Wu Yao has been gone for so long and still hasn't brought Mo Li's soul back.

Another tearing pain shot through his body, and he quickly held his breath and silently recited the incantation that Wu Yao had taught him before she left.

At this moment, Wu Yao was still begging Mo Li to give her another diet pill. In just five days, after taking the pill twice, she felt that her waist had become thinner.

Just like now, when she walks down the street, many women cast envious glances at her, and men all drool over her.

She took out the small mirror she had gotten from Wen Luozhi, and pulled out a lipstick to touch up her luscious lips.

She stared at her face in the mirror for a long time, and only when she was satisfied did she reluctantly put the mirror away and carefully place it back in her sleeve.

Langhuai Kingdom doesn't have such good things. After she finishes what she promised, she'll sneak back to Dajing!

The women there use so many strange and wonderful things; it would be a shame for her, being so beautiful, not to wander around.

"Little Emperor..."

"Little one, could you please give me one more pill?"

She walked in front of Mo Li, blocking his way, and cleverly changed her way of addressing him, but Mo Li was already getting impatient.

This is the eighteenth time this woman has asked him for diet pills today. How can she be so annoying...?

"My sister said the next course of treatment will have to wait until she comes."

"If you eat it now, you'll only experience a rebound effect; even your face will get fatter."

His threat startled Wu Yao, who obediently shut up and quickly took out a small mirror to examine her face from left to right.

"Then let's not do it. I'll wait until she comes before I ask for it."

"That's terrifying!"

Over the years, she tried many methods to remove the burn scars on her face, but none of them worked. In the end, she even used a face-changing insect, but an accident still occurred.

Now that the scars are gone and she has a beautiful face, she naturally has to be extremely careful.

Finally, they had some peace and quiet. When they arrived at their lodgings, Mo Zhengfu led Mo Li to a dark room in the study.

"Ah Li, Grandpa has already found out the news from people in the palace."

"Your mother remains unconscious, and that strange thing still wants to take her heart's blood."

Upon hearing this, Mo Li clenched his fists, his eyes turning red. Mo Zhengfu quickly tried to calm him down, saying, "Perhaps your father discovered something; he refused to agree to anything this time."

"Grandpa, when are we going back to the palace?"

Mo Li asked directly, and Mo Zhengfu remembered that Wu Yao had told him that tomorrow was the night of the full moon, and that the strange thing would be extremely weak.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "We'll return when the moon is full tomorrow!"

Everything that needed to be prepared had been prepared, and with Master Xiannian and his apprentice accompanying them, and Wu Yao as a backup, they were all ready.

He refused to believe that he couldn't deal with that usurper!

Wu Yao felt a mix of emotions as she thought about seeing Mo Xiao the next day. All these years, she had been hating the wrong person.

She was no longer sure whether she loved or not those she shouldn't hate.

"Sigh, with a face like mine these days, I could have any man I want."

She looked at herself in the mirror with self-pity, preparing the things she would need for tomorrow.

Thinking of Ying Wuyai made her want to laugh. Right now, that wandering ghost must have cursed her thoroughly.

He's been gone for so long but hasn't brought back what he wanted.

I wonder if she'll recognize me when I see her tomorrow?

She looked at herself in the mirror all night, and early in the morning, she put on her black robe as the royal advisor, wore a bamboo hat, and returned to the palace.

"Young Prince, it's been a long time!"

Seeing Ying Wuyai pretending to read the history of their own country, Wu Yao's face showed disdain.

Nothing in this guy's head is something he put in himself. If he weren't a shadow ghost conjured from Mo Li's shadow, he probably wouldn't even know a single word.

Looking back, what right did he have to yell at me like that?

I was stupid too, letting that little brat who usurped my place completely control me.

Ying Wuyai's face lit up with joy upon seeing her, but he quickly put on a stern face and feigned displeasure:

"So, the Imperial Advisor has finally come back. I thought you had forgotten your family feud."

He made a couple of sarcastic remarks and then asked, "Have you completed the task I assigned you? Have you brought back Mo Li's soul?"

Ying Wuyai tried his best to hide his nervousness and excitement. If Wu Yao hadn't known what kind of person he was, she would have almost thought he didn't care.

"Of course we'll bring them back; they can be released when the moon is full."

"When the young prince swallows him whole, Mo Li will cease to exist in this world."

Wu Yao spoke with a hint of pride, and Ying Wuyai was naturally pleased to hear that she had accomplished the task.

"My Lordship Advisor, please wait a little longer. Whatever you wish to do, this prince will do it for you."

While saying this, Ying Wuyai was already making his own calculations. Why should he help Wu Yao avenge herself? What did her revenge have to do with him?

Mo Xiao was not so easy to deal with; once Mo Li's soul was swallowed, he had no more worries.

She's just a half-baked sorcerer; he'd already found someone to deal with her.

Instead of going to great lengths to avenge something useless, it's better to slowly wait and outlive Mo Xiao to death.

From then on, he was a real person, able to marry and have children like a normal person.

He coveted everything in the palace, and after tonight, no one else would be able to take it from him.

Wu Yao feigned happiness to match his, and thanked him several times, which made Ying Wuyai feel that she was easy to manipulate.

"Is there any way to deal with that old hag?"

He felt uncomfortable whenever he thought of that eccentric old priest.

The old man's gaze today seemed to see right through him, which gave him a feeling of dread.

Wu Yao didn't know the exact background of the Ghost Granny, but she knew that she did have some real skills.

Now that she has nothing left to ask for, she's not going to risk bad luck for a little brat.

"I'll have to think of a solution myself; the young prince only needs to focus on tonight's events."

She gave a perfunctory reply, and Ying Wuyai, feeling happy, didn't think much of it.

In the past, the palace would be completely silent at noon on the night of the full moon, but today, because the royal advisor had brought back a method to save the young prince, the palace was still celebrating.

Mo Xiao kept talking to Cui Jinhua by her bedside, even though the person on the bed did not respond.

"Jinhua, the Imperial Advisor will be treating Li'er tonight."

"When you wake up, I'll take you out to play and we'll go to all the places I promised you."

He had originally planned to take this opportunity to properly examine his son on this night of the full moon, but he never expected that the Imperial Advisor would actually return.

Thinking that perhaps his son's personality had changed because of the strange illness, he stopped thinking about it too much.

Cui Jinhua twitched her fingers, and Mo Xiao was overjoyed. He gently raised his hand to tidy the messy hair on her forehead, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, making him look incredibly gentle.

Wu Yao happened to see this scene when she came in. She didn't say anything and just watched quietly. It was as if a thread in her heart had snapped at that moment.

Out of the corner of his eye, Mo Xiao caught a glimpse of a black figure. He turned to look at her, then resumed his usual cold and ruthless demeanor.

"So it's the Imperial Advisor. What brings you here?" he asked.

Wu Yao took a step back towards the door and shook her head. "Tonight, the King must stay by the Queen's side at all times. Remember that."

She said that and turned to leave. Mo Xiao found her words inexplicable, but he still took them to heart.
