Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: 1073: The Enviable Affection Between the Emperor and His Empress

Mo Qi’s grace and silhouette suddenly intruded into her heart, leaving her flustered and disordered.

“In that case, your younger uncle must be familiar with Mo Qi. Both being the emperor’s capable ministers, Mo Qi didn’t really have any illness, he just had his health conditioned. Following the emperor into life and death battles, there are always some old wounds in need of attention.”

This time, Su Yingxue glossed over it without need for Zhilan’s reminder.

Hong Lian was a pain in Mo Qi’s heart, an ailment she would not easily mention to others.

Before they had even reached the imperial study, Sun Wu had already gone ahead to report to Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan had sent away the discussing courtiers early, specifically waiting for Su Yingxue.

As Su Yingxue entered the imperial study with Leng Muling, she was about to pay her respects to Chu Yihan, when suddenly his large hands pulled her up, “You are with child now, what need do you have for these empty formalities? Aren’t you afraid the little creature will trouble you again?”

“Not afraid!” Su Yingxue’s eyes curved with a smile, “Right now, I am before his father, he wouldn’t dare to cause trouble inside!”

Su Yingxue took Chu Yihan’s hand and placed it on her slightly enlarged abdomen, feeling the little creature’s movements day by day.

“Today, it is behaving.”

A father’s tender love showed in Chu Yihan’s eyes, softening his features a great deal.

Leng Muling’s eyes widened in disbelief, how could she believe without seeing it firsthand? The love between the emperor and empress was so profound, just like an ordinary couple, even more affectionate than her own parents.

Between them, there were no hollow formalities, only the love of husband and wife, truly enviable!

“The granddaughter of the Prime Minister’s Estate? Why would you bring her here?” Chu Yihan noticed Leng Muling behind Su Yingxue, his aura changing instantly.

The emperor’s majestic presence caused one to tremble in tension.

Leng Muling quickly knelt down, “This nobleman’s daughter greets Your Majesty, may the emperor live forever. It is this daughter who sought an audience with the empress, beseeching Her Majesty to bring me here! I came today for… for…”

The severity of Chu Yihan’s presence made Leng Muling forget half of what she had prepared to say.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Yingxue covered her mouth, giggling secretly, “I said it, ordinary misses are frightened when they see you.”

She poked at Chu Yihan, “You are too intimidating.”

Chu Yihan, unbothered, settled Su Yingxue down by his side, “Was it Zhuo Junli who sent you here?”

“Yes!”

Leng Muling bowed her head, not daring to raise it even slightly, fearing to catch Chu Yihan’s gaze, her heart barely staying in place.

“Mo Qi, bring Zhuo Junli’s memorial for her.”

Chu Yihan stuck close to Su Yingxue, not wanting to leave her side for a step, thus commanding Mo Qi.

Mo Qi took the memorial and presented it to Leng Muling, “Miss Leng, here is the memorial.”

The man’s cool and gentle voice was like a spring flowing into the heart, extraordinarily pleasant to the ear.

In front of Leng Muling was a pair of fair, well-defined hands, a scar on the back of a hand marring its beauty yet doing nothing to prevent her from guessing and imagining, the stature of the hands’ owner, what kind of a valorous hero he was, protecting and serving the country.

Leng Muling’s heartbeat raced, her hand touching Mo Qi’s as she took the memorial, she drew back as if electrocuted, saying a simple “Thank you!”

Mo Qi withdrew to Chu Yihan’s side, utterly unaware of Leng Muling’s bowed head, flushed as ripe peaches; a gentle squeeze would be enough to press out juice.

Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue generally disliked being disturbed by outsiders, so once Leng Muling received the memorial, Chu Yihan sent her away.
