âThereâs no joy in taking revenge in his current state,â Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly.
âBut what if heâs pretending?â Freak really couldnât believe that a noble princeâs heart was so fragile. Every person in an imperial family or aristocratic family was devious! People like Li Yu couldnât survive unless they were especially favored and protected.
âIâm not in the mood. Let Li Yuan try!â Leng Ruoxue said gloomily.
âThatâs fine,â Freak echoed. But just to be safe, he thought it would be better to prescribe some medicine to Li Yu beforehand.
Better to act than to be tempted. After dinner, Leng Ruoxue and Freak brought Li Yu straight to the palace.
â¦
In the imperial studyâ¦
âWhat does this mean?â Li Yuan was sitting on the dragon throne while looking at Leng Ruoxue in confusion.
âWeâre here to return the person,â Leng Ruoxue explained lightly.
âThereâs no need to return him,â Li Yuan said generously. He didnât want this person.
âIt wonât be difficult to borrow him again, so Iâll return him to you first!â Leng Ruoxue said very carefully. She wouldnât want this trash even if she could get money for him.
After listening to Leng Ruoxue, Li Yuan was at a loss for words.?Does she intend to borrow him again in the future?
âIâm giving this person to you. Thereâs no need to go through all this trouble.â Li Yuan really didnât want to take over!
âDonât. I donât have a place to put him, and I would have to waste my money to support him.â Leng Ruoxueâs expression showed that there was no room for negotiation. She was definitely going to return him!
âIâll payâ¦â
âI donât want him even if I can get money,â Leng Ruoxue added, interrupting Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was helpless, really helplessâ¦
âBy the way, um, why did he become like this?â Li Yuan asked curiously while looking at the unconscious Li Yu, who had been thrown to the ground like a dead dog. It didnât look like he was tortured!
âHis mental fortitude is a bit weak. I just told him what happened recently. Thatâs all,â Leng Ruoxue said innocently.?It really isnât my fault!
âOh. Come, lock him in the dungeon.â Li Yuan nodded understandingly and then ordered the eunuch beside him.
âYes, Your Majesty.â Then the eunuch left the imperial study.
âSince itâs done, weâll leave now,â Leng Ruoxue said frankly.
âUh, about Ruoxue, your Big Sister Mo has been talking about you. Since youâre here, go see her!â Li Yuan said thoughtfully.
âOkay, Iâll go see Big Sister Mo then,â Leng Ruoxue said respectfully.?Did Li Yuan especially tell me this because something happened?
âXueâer, are we going to see Mo Yingyue?â Freak asked softly after they walked out of the imperial study and into the imperial garden.
âLetâs go take a look!â Leng Ruoxue knew that everything had been going smoothly since Li Yuan became the emperor. After all, no one dared to object with the approval of the old patriarch.
After Mo Yingyue became the mother of the country, she moved to the Phoenix Algae Palace. Leng Ruoxue and Freak were familiar with the Phoenix Algae Palace and found it without difficulty.
âBig Sister Mo.â Leng Ruoxue saw that no one was stopping her after entering the Phoenix Algae Palace, so she walked directly into the inner hall with Freak.
âRuoxue, why do you have time to visit Big Sister?â Mo Yingyue, who was eating, said happily when she saw Leng Ruoxue. She hurriedly put down her chopsticks, stood up, walked to Leng Ruoxueâs side, and pulled her to sit down together.
âYe Chen, do whatever you want!â Mo Yingyue said warmly.
âOkay.â Ye Chen casually found a chair and sat down.
âSister Mo, we are here to return Li Yu,â Leng Ruoxue said honestly. She wouldnât say anything hypocritical such as she came specially to see Mo Yingyue.
âI know you only came to see Big Sister as a slight detour.â Mo Yingyue sighed. This girl wouldnât have come to the palace if there was nothing. But she really liked Leng Ruoxueâs character of distinguishing gratitude and grudges.
âDid anything displeasing happen recently, Big Sister Mo?â Leng Ruoxue went straight to the point. This had to be why Li Yuan asked her to come!
âA little!â Mo Yingyue said with a troubled expression.
âBig Sister Mo, tell me about it.â
âRecently, some ministers have been having designs on His Majesty,â Mo Yingyue said very implicitly, finding it difficult to say.
âJust that?â Leng Ruoxue was not impressed. She thought it was something big, but it was actually the easiest to solve.
âThis isnât a trivial matter. It concerns the stability of the country.â Mo Yingyue was in a very difficult position.
âBig Sister Mo, does this world venerate the strong?â Leng Ruoxue suddenly asked.
âOf course.â Mo Yingyue was puzzled.?What does Ruoxue mean?
âIn that case, why care so much about the words of those ministers? As long as the old patriarch of the imperial family supports you, I donât believe anyone will dare to have any other thoughts,â Leng Ruoxue said very firmly.
âButâ¦â
âBig Sister Mo, no one is willing to share their husband with other women. At worst, weâll destroy whoever steals him. If it doesnât work in the open, you can do it in the dark. You are the mother of a country and the first wife. Canât you handle a few mistresses?â Leng Ruoxue encouraged. She hated women who sacrificed themselves too much and even lost their dignity for a cheap man.?Hmph! I hope Li Yuan isnât a man who likes the new and hates the old. Otherwise, I will definitely make him regret it.
âRuoxue, you donât understand. There are also people in my family who have such thoughts, soâ¦â Mo Yingyue really didnât know what to do. If she lost the support of her family because of this matter, then she would definitely be forced to give up the position of empress. She didnât care about being the empress, but she couldnât give up her husband.
âWho?â Leng Ruoxue asked coldly.
âMy cousin,â Mo Yingyue answered honestly.?Xueâer looks so scary!
Hmph! A woman with designs on her brother-in-law deserves to die!?Leng Ruoxue complained in her head. But this was Big Sister Moâs family affair after all, and it was hard for her to say anything as an outsider.
