They all knew that the Snow Girl was not only extremely beautiful, but also a martial arts expert, and was deeply loved by Ying Yuan.

In order to win favor, the concubines in the harem began to find ways to frame the Snow Girl.

Although Xue Nu was in the harem, she always kept a clear mind. She knew that the harem was a dangerous place and that if she was not careful, she would be doomed.

Therefore, she was cautious in everything and tried her best to avoid conflicts with other concubines.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

The concubines in the harem did not let the Snow Girl go.

They kept creating various incidents in an attempt to frame the Snow Girl.

Although the Snow Girl resolved crises time and time again, she gradually felt tired.

She knew that she couldn't go on like this.

She must find a way to leave the harem and return to the Mo family.

One day, the Snow Girl was walking in the garden when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

She looked back and saw a woman in gorgeous palace dress walking towards her.

This woman was none other than Zhao Ji, the most favored concubine in the harem.

Zhao Ji walked up to Xue Nu with a sneer on her face: "Xue Fei, you are so bold that you dare to seduce His Majesty!"

When Xue Nu heard what Zhao Ji said, she was shocked. She knew that Zhao Ji was trying to frame her.

"Your Majesty, I dare not." The Snow Girl said hurriedly.

"Hmph! You don't dare? Do you think his majesty really likes you? He is just playing with you!" Zhao Ji sneered.

When Xue Nu heard what Zhao Ji said, her heart was filled with anger, but she still forced herself to hold back.

"Your Majesty, I know that my status is humble and I dare not ask for your majesty's favor. I only hope to live a quiet life." said the Snow Girl.

"Live a quiet life? Do you think you deserve it?" Zhao Ji sneered, "You are just a dancer of humble origins, what qualifications do you have to stay in the harem?"

When Xue Nu heard what Zhao Ji said, her heart was filled with humiliation, but she still forced herself to hold back.

"Your Majesty, I know that I am of humble origin, but I have not done anything to let Your Majesty down," said the Snow Girl.

"Hmph! You know whether you have done anything to offend His Majesty!" Zhao Ji sneered, "Come here, take this bitch down for me!"

As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, several guards rushed up and surrounded the Snow Girl.

The Snow Girl looked at the guards surrounding her, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes...

The Snow Girl's eyes were cold, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, piercing Zhao Ji. "If you want to take down the Snow Girl, just come, why bother saying more?"

Zhao Ji was shocked by the Snow Girl's momentum. She was stunned for a moment, and then she became angry and said, "How dare you be so rude to me, you slut! Someone, slap me in the face!"

The guards hesitated. They knew the Snow Girl's martial arts and did not dare to step forward easily. Seeing this, Zhao Ji became even more angry and screamed, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and do it!"

A guard stepped forward bravely, raised his hand and was about to hit the Snow Girl. The Snow Girl dodged the slap and knocked the guard to the ground with a backhand palm.

Seeing this, the other guards drew their swords and surrounded the Snow Girl. The Snow Girl was not afraid of danger and drew the sword at her waist, which flashed with cold light and was very powerful.

Just as a fierce fight was about to break out, a majestic voice suddenly rang out: "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ying Yuan, wearing a dragon robe, striding towards them.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Ji rushed forward and cried, "This lowly servant dared to attack me!"

Ying Yuan glanced coldly at Zhao Ji, then looked at Xue Nu who was surrounded by the guards, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Xue Nu briefly recounted what had happened. After hearing it, Ying Yuan's face darkened and he angrily scolded, "Zhao Ji, as the head of the harem, you don't think about the virtues of the harem, but instead you are jealous and frame her. How disgraceful!"

Zhao Ji was so frightened by Ying Yuan's angry rebuke that she trembled all over and quickly knelt down to apologize: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know I was wrong!" Ying Yuan snorted coldly and said, "The Snow Girl is innocent. All of you leave!"

The guards retreated one after another as if they had been pardoned.

Ying Yuan walked up to Xue Nu and said softly, "Xue Nu, you have been wronged."

The Snow Girl shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Ying Yuan hugged Xue Nu in his arms with a distressed look on his face and said, "No one will dare to bully you anymore."

The Snow Girl snuggled in Ying Yuan's arms, feeling his warmth, her heart filled with happiness.

Zhao Ji looked at Ying Yuan and Xue Nu's intimacy, her eyes full of jealousy and resentment. She secretly vowed to find a way to get rid of Xue Nu.

In the following days, Ying Yuan became even more fond of Xue Nu and stayed in her palace almost every night.

The other concubines in the harem were even more jealous of Xue Nu. They tried every means to frame Xue Nu, but all were resolved by Ying Yuan one by one.

Although Xue Nu was in the harem, she always kept a clear mind. She knew that she couldn't go on like this. She had to find a way to leave the harem and return to the Mo family.

One day, Xue Nu found Ying Yuan and asked him to let her leave the harem.

When Ying Yuan heard Xue Nu's request, he felt very reluctant, but he knew that Xue Nu's heart was not here.

"Are you really leaving?" Ying Yuan asked.

The Snow Girl nodded and said, "I must go back."

Ying Yuan was silent for a moment, and finally agreed to Xue Nu's request.

"I promise you, but you have to agree to one condition of mine." Ying Yuan said.

"Your Majesty, please speak." said the Snow Girl.

"You must promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will take care of yourself." Ying Yuan said.

The Snow Girl nodded and said, "I agree, Your Majesty."

Ying Yuan held Xue Nu tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear, "I will always wait for you to come back."

A tear rolled down the corner of the Snow Girl's eye. She knew that once she left, she might never come back.

The next morning, Xue Nu left the Xianyang Palace and set out on the journey back to the Mohist School.

Ying Yuan stood on the city wall, looking at the Snow Girl's receding back, his heart filled with reluctance.

He knew that there might really be no destiny between him and the Snow Girl.

After Xue Nu left, Ying Yuan was in a very low mood. He was unhappy all day and had no interest in government affairs.

The ministers in the court all noticed the changes in Ying Yuan, and they all advised Ying Yuan, hoping that he could cheer up.

Ying Yuan knew that he could not go on like this. He was the emperor of the Qin Dynasty and shouldered the heavy responsibility of governing the country.

He must cheer up, for the sake of the Qin Dynasty and the woman in his heart.

Ying Yuan began to devote himself to government affairs again. He worked hard to govern the country, was diligent and loved the people, and the national strength of Qin became increasingly strong.

However, there is always a void deep in Ying Yuan's heart.

He knew that only the Snow Girl could fill this gap.

He has been waiting, waiting for the day when the Snow Girl returns...

One day, Ying Yuan was reviewing memorials when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door. (End of this chapter)
