The Path of the Cannon Fodder's Counterattack

Ch-24

Ling Xiao's gaze also aroused He Baolin's attention. She looked in Ling Xiao's direction and suddenly stood up when she saw clearly that it was him.

Ling Xiao regretted that he could not longer continue to watch the scene of Mo Qi getting beaten up and unhurriedly got up. He patted the dust away from his clothes and walked over to He Baolin to pay the proper courtesy.

He Baolin's gaze was complicated as she looked at Ling Xiao, wanting to say something, but hesitated. In the end, she coldly humphed and hatefully stamped her foot once, then turned around to leave with her maids.

Ling Xiao frowned at her back figure.

It looks like the matter about the Emperor rewarding him wasn't just known to the three Imperial Highnesses...

This He Baolin also had her own thoughts.

However, He Balin had always feared the strong. Although Ling Xiao was still a servant with his position as a Eunuch Steward, he had received the Emperor's favor. Not only that, he had also received all sorts of privileges from the Emperor, which showed that he was not only just a simple Eunuch Steward in the Emperor's heart. He Baolin did not dare to provoke Ling Xiao while he was in his current position.

As such, she directly took her people and left.

Ling Xiao looked away, but was suddenly slapped in the back. Taking the pain, Ling Xiao turned around to see a miserable Mo Qi with her snot and tears running as she threw herself into his embrace.

Ling Xiao hurriedly dodged out of the way and looked at her in disdain, asking, "Palace Woman Mo, what are you doing?"

"Ling Xiao~" Mo Qi cried out.

Ling Xiao looked at her mockingly.

"Ling Xiao, they are all bullying me! Where have you been!" Mo Qi sobbed, yet when she opened her eyes, they were radiant.

Ling Xiao saw that and sneered, "Mo Qi, I always wanted to tell you something."

After saying that, he approached Mo Qi and continued in a loathing tone, "Your acting is really bad."

Mo Qi stared blankly and her weeping ended spontaneously. She clenched her teeth and hatefully glared at Ling Xiao, her gaze full of unwillingness.

"Why can you obtain the Emperor's favor? Why can you mix into this palace like a fish back in water? Why are you not helping me! Why!"

Since she was seen through, Mo Qi did not bother to act anymore and directly looked at Ling Xiao with a face full of jealousy. She was also extremely resentful at Ling Xiao for not helping her.

"I regret it! Ling Xiao, I shouldn't have let you enter the palace!"

"Ha!" Ling Xiao laughed at what she said, "It's a pity that it's already too late!"

"......" Mo Qi glared at Ling Xiao with her clenched teeth and finally said, "I want you to help me with something, will you help or not!"

Ling Xiao sneered once.

Mo Qi bit her lips, "If you don't help me, I'll tell the Emperor your secret!"

Ling Xiao rolled his eyes when he heard that. He thought Mo Qi would have matured some after experiencing the setbacks this time, but he didn't expect that she was as stupid as before.

"Leaving aside how you are unable to see the Emperor, even if you were able to, by the time you had those thoughts, the Prime Minister would not let you off." His icy eyes gazed at Mo Qi as he stated.

Mo Qi was intimidated by Ling Xiao's sinister gaze and retreated a step. She clenched her fist and said, "Do you want to bet? Bet whether or not I will live to tell the Emperor the secret?"
