Thus, the matter was concluded, and Duke Li Guo decided not to pursue it further. He rose, bade farewell to Nangong Yi, and left the palace with the continuously coughing Mo Qingshan.
When they reached the palace gate, they found Mo Zili and Mo Ziqi both there, one leaning leisurely against the Stone Lion at the entrance, arms crossed, casually watching the sunset on the horizon,while the other paced back and forth at the palace gate, his expression gloomy as if facing a formidable enemy.
Upon seeing Duke Li Guo, Mo Zili quickly walked over, knelt before him, and said in a deep voice, "Grandfather, please take me into the palace. I have urgent matters that require me to see the Emperor."
Duke Li Guo's face darkened as he asked, "What are you going in there for? Is it about your divorce from the Wu Family?"
Mo Zili said candidly, "Exactly. I wish to ask the Emperor to grant his favor, for I do not wish to divorce."
