The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

The night was as dark as ink, covering the entire palace.

In a remote corner of the palace, a figure quietly appeared.

She moved strangely, looking left and right, carefully avoiding the guards patrolling around.

Qu Xinzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at a safe place with few people.

Today, after escaping from the Prime Minister's Mansion with great difficulty, she wanted to travel around the world from then on, but after hearing passers-by talking about the Royal Spring Search, she temporarily changed her mind.

She had a feeling that there must be someone here who was very important to her, so she tried her best to blend in.

However, after searching for a whole day, he didn't see any decent people except the guards, eunuchs and palace maids.

Since she traveled here, she is destined to be the heroine.

When Qu Xinzhu was in modern times, he liked to read various time-travel novels.

Being a chivalrous woman in the martial arts world, exposed to the wind and sun, is not the best choice.

Farming and business are difficult for small families to achieve great success.

If she could have a world-shattering and soul-stirring love with those princes and nobles, then her journey through time would not be in vain.

Through the memories of the original owner and the news she got today, she knew that the current emperor was old and it was impossible for her to enter the palace. However, the old emperor was a playboy and had a lot of princes, many of whom were outstanding. Perhaps one of them was her destined match.

Qu Xinzhu was imagining a beautiful life in the future when suddenly two faint voices were heard in the corridor outside.

"The Prime Minister is truly a man of both civil and military talents. Today, he killed all the assassins with just a few strikes. The Emperor and Empress praised him greatly and even conferred titles of princess on the two daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Hearing this, Qu Xinzhu was a little surprised. The original owner's cheap father, whom he had never met, an old man who was fond of homosexuality, actually knew martial arts?

However, this is not the point.

The key point is that her stepfather made great contributions, and as his daughter, she was conferred the title of princess by the emperor.

Qu Xinzhu was feeling proud of herself when she suddenly heard another voice from outside, "The emperor was right in saying this, but the prime minister refused. In the end, the emperor only granted the prime minister's legitimate daughter the title of princess."

Upon hearing this, Qu Xinzhu's smile froze.

Immediately, she became very angry and cursed Qu Honglin in her heart for ruining her plans.

"That's right. Everyone knows that the Prime Minister hates that concubine's daughter very much. How could he possibly give her honor? If the concubine's mother hadn't been shameless and climbed into the Prime Minister's bed while the Prime Minister's wife was about to give birth, how could this evil child be born..."

Before he finished speaking, an angry male voice rang out: "How dare you! How dare you talk about Prime Minister Qu in private? I think you don't want to live anymore."

"Sixth Prince, please calm down. I will never dare to do that again."

"Sixth Prince, I am the one who spoke too much. Please have mercy and spare my life."

The two palace maids were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Mo Li's expression was stern, and he shouted angrily, "It's not that this prince is unwilling to forgive you, it's just that you are so bold that you dare to criticize the Prime Minister's family affairs behind his back. If Prime Minister Qu knew about it, how could you survive?"

After saying this, he ignored the two men's pleas and directly ordered them to be arrested and taken away to be beaten with a stick.

Listening to the maid's cries, a sneer appeared on his face.

What he hated most in his life were the words "bed climbing", "slut" and "bastard". These words represented his humiliation and had long been deeply engraved in his heart.

After dealing with the talkative maid, Mo Li was about to turn around and leave when he felt his ear move. He slowly turned sideways, staring at the door in front of him with sharp eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is here?"

There was silence in the room.

"How dare you eavesdrop from behind? If I find out, you will be severely punished!" Mo Li's face was filled with murderous intent.

The door in front of him slowly opened, and a beautiful woman dressed in palace maid's clothes appeared, looking frightened, "No, I... just got lost, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

Qu Xinzhu's delicate and pitiful appearance makes people feel pity for her, but her face reveals determination and perseverance, just like a little white flower struggling tenaciously in a storm, which makes people feel sympathy and pity.

"Who are you?" Mo Li's originally cold and ruthless face gradually lost its murderous intent, and his tone became slightly softer.

Qu Xinzhu bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and replied softly: "I... I am a maid in this palace."

"Palace maid?" Mo Li looked at her suspiciously, then sneered, "Oh? Which palace do you belong to? Who is the noble master you serve? And why don't you stay by your master's side and serve him, but run to this remote place?"

Qu Xinzhu was stunned, knowing that his identity had been exposed.

"Do you know what crime you will be charged for impersonating a palace maid? Moreover, an assassin has just infiltrated the palace, and there is no guarantee that you are not his accomplice. To be on the safe side, this prince will interrogate you strictly." Mo Li's voice was cold and stern, which was frightening.

Hearing this, Qu Xinzhu panicked, "I... I'm not an assassin, I... I'm just curious, so..."

After just a few words, she confessed everything and told him her intention.

"Your name is Qu Xinzhu? Then you are Prime Minister Qu's..." When Mo Li heard her say that she escaped from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he already had some guesses in his mind.

Qu Xinzhu said subconsciously: "He is my father."

She did not lie, that old man Qu Honglin was indeed the father of this body.

"So you're the Prime Minister's daughter." Mo Li's expression changed instantly, with a caring smile on his face, "I hope I didn't scare Miss Qu just now? If I've offended you, please forgive me."

Seeing his completely different attitude, Qu Xinzhu had never thought that the identity of the Prime Minister's daughter would be so useful. She couldn't help but feel a little proud. "Ignorance is not a crime. This matter is not your fault. I came here in disguise this time because I didn't want others to know."

"By the way, Miss Qu, oh no, I should call you a princess. Your father has done a great job in saving the emperor today, and my father has granted you the honor of a princess." Seeing that she was not angry, Mo Li's eyes flashed with calculation.

Qu Xinzhu's expression froze, and she realized that he had recognized the wrong person and mistook her for Qu Qingyan's legitimate daughter.

She didn't explain, but just smiled faintly.

Mo Li wasted a precious ginseng today, and also failed to establish a relationship with Yan Qing, a retainer in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, by chance, he actually met the Prime Minister's daughter.

This is truly God’s help!

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Mo Li's thoughts became louder and louder.

If he becomes Qu Honglin's son-in-law, wouldn't it be easy for him to ascend to the throne?

Thinking of this, his heart was extremely excited, and his gaze towards the woman became even more passionate.

Qu Xinzhu is not an ignorant girl, she understands the thoughts of men.

Seeing that this handsome man had a prominent status, was a prince, and was extraordinarily handsome, she began to want to get close to him.

Both of them had this idea, and the subsequent development was quite smooth.

However, they don’t know that their every move is under the eyes and ears of those who are interested.
