Chapter 3: Beginning the Counterattack

After going through the past once, Ling Xiao only rejoiced for this rebirth. However, he was missing a lot of astonishment that he should have been experiencing.

When it came to astonishment, perhaps there was just much more sadness and anger.

Being betrayed by the girl he had protected for ten years, this kind of feeling wasn't something that could be described clearly in a few words.

After returning back to the past, being used by Mo Qi again was impossible.

But the time he returned to wasn't correct. As he had already entered the emperor's palace, there was no leeway for him.

Moreover, he was not willing to just walk away. He had suffered so much damage and even lost his life! So how could he just leave?!

But Mo Qi already had a place in the palace; in addition, if he didn't remember wrongly, there were also many hidden connections placed around her by Lan Wei. He was also just a man without an identity within the harem. A man who would be put to death at any moment if he were to be found out. Even if he wanted to take revenge, there wasn't any good way to do it right He would need to establish himself and preserve his own life first, before he could consider his next steps.

It couldn't be helped, but sometimes Ling Xiao was frightfully calm and rational. He was clearly filled with loathing for Mo Qi and itching to choke her to death immediately. However, he was able to judge the time and figure out the situation even faster, allowing him to take the most advantageous path.

He had always been extremely intelligent; it was just that back then, he had been in that woman's hands.

Now, with him coming to his senses, he would never allow other to manipulate him so easily again!

The post arranged by Elder Lin was the same as that in his first life. It was close to Mo Qi's vicinity, that of the most insignificant and lowest ranked court eunuch.

A nobody who could be pinched to death by anyone who felt like doing it.

At that time, his main purpose was to accompany Mo Qi, so this kind of arrangement had been quite satisfactory. Now, though, he was not doing it for Mo Qi.

On the contrary, he extremely hated Mo Qi and didn't want to see her at all.

The place Elder Lin had arranged for him became the place he was the most dissatisfied with, but he also had no other choice but to accept it.

In the time it took to burn an incense stick, Mo Qi returned. Apparently, she was quite resentful about being cast away by Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao sneered at her back. If it had been the old him, he would have already rushed up and did his best to appease her, but at this very moment, he only felt disdain. Mo Qi lost his love, how could she still manage to behave so unscrupulously in front of him?

Simply absurd!

Ling Xiao turned around.

He had actually just remembered a certain matter.

Lan Wei had arranged a lot of people to cover for Mo Qi, but the majority of these people were all people he knew!

Moreover, this time was when Mo Qi first entered the emperor's palace, and Lan Wei had also just recently gathered power within the palace. The people available to him now weren't much. Even in his former lifetime, he had helped Mo Qi do a lot of things, including helping her keep in touch with Lan Wei. The other small court eunuch that joined him, he remembered the appearance, name, post and place of him very clearly!

If he wanted to do something to Mo Qi, wouldn't he only need to do it while she only had Lan Wei to protect her?

People should know that after entering the palace, Mo Qi seemed to have some kind of magic power, allowing her to attract almost everyone's attention. It made everyone want to protect her, allowing her to climb to the peak of her life.
