Chapter 223 Kill Your Cheap Dad
In the bedroom, the soft candlelight flickered, illuminating the figures of the two people hugging each other.
After a long and affectionate discussion, they cuddled together.
"Zhu'er, after tomorrow, you should leave the capital first."
Suddenly, Mo Li's low voice filled with sadness and reluctance rang softly in the quiet night and reached Qu Xinzhu's ears.
Qu Xinzhu was slightly startled, and turned her head in confusion. In the dim light, she happened to meet Mo Li's red eyes. She was full of doubts and asked softly: "Li, what do you mean by this? Why do you want me to leave the capital?"
"Zhu'er, you are the woman I love most in my life, and the one I want to protect at all costs. I don't want to hide it from you anymore." Mo Li looked gentle, reaching out and gently stroking her silky black hair, his tone full of helplessness and a hint of frustration that was difficult to conceal, "On the surface, all the princes are now imprisoned, and I am the only one with great power in the court. And my father's health is getting worse and worse. If this continues, the throne will naturally fall into my hands. But..."
He smiled bitterly at the woman's confused eyes, "But once my father-in-law returns, the court will be reshuffled, and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect myself. Although you are the daughter of the Prime Minister, he has always been ruthless to you. I'm worried that you will be implicated because of me, so I want to send you away from the capital, away from this place of trouble, and find a stable place to live a good life."
"No, Li, we should share the good and the bad. We are husband and wife, and we should stick together. If it really comes to that, Li, let's leave this capital together. The world is big and there is always a place for us to stay." Qu Xinzhu was deeply moved by Mo Li's words, and her heart was filled with emotion.
She never expected that at this critical moment, Mo Li didn't consider himself first, but planned a retreat for her.
Mo Li sighed softly, his eyes full of doting and determination, "Silly girl, the royal family has always been ruthless. In this power struggle, if you can't ascend to the highest position, there is only one way to go, and that is death. Since I have chosen this path, I can only go all the way to the end, and there is no room for turning back. I don't care about everything else, but you, Zhu'er, you are my weakness. As long as you are in the capital, I can't fight a desperate battle with peace of mind. So, tomorrow I will send you away. With Xiu Qing, Yan Changbai, Liao Wuchen and others here, I believe that they will take good care of you, and your future will be guaranteed."
"No, Li, I don't want to leave you." Qu Xinzhu sadly threw herself into his arms, crying bitterly.
Mo Li hugged her and gave her all kinds of heartfelt advice.
After a while, Qu Xinzhu slowly raised her head from Mo Li's arms. Her tear-stained face now had a resolute look in her eyes, revealing a fierceness: "Li, we haven't reached the end of our rope yet."
"Zhu'er, you...what do you mean?" Mo Li frowned slightly, a puzzled look on his face.
Qu Xinzhu's mouth curled up into a cold smile, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes: "Since my so-called cheap father is your biggest obstacle, why not get rid of him? As long as he dies, you will have no worries when you ascend to the throne."
"Zhu'er, the Prime Minister is your father after all. This is really against human ethics." Mo Li tried to persuade her with an embarrassment on his face, but a hint of success flashed quietly in his deep eyes.
