Chapter 159: A Deal with the First Elder (3)
“There’s no joy in taking revenge in his current state,” Leng Ruoxue said speechlessly.
“But what if he’s pretending?” Freak really couldn’t believe that a noble prince’s heart was so fragile. Every person in an imperial family or aristocratic family was devious! People like Li Yu couldn’t survive unless they were especially favored and protected.
“I’m not in the mood. Let Li Yuan try!” Leng Ruoxue said gloomily.
“That’s fine,” 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.
…
In the imperial study…
“What does this mean?” Li Yuan was sitting on the dragon throne while looking at Leng Ruoxue in confusion.
“We’re here to return the person,” Leng Ruoxue explained lightly.
“There’s no need to return him,” Li Yuan said generously. He didn’t want this person.
“It won’t be difficult to borrow him again, so I’ll return him to you first!” Leng Ruoxue said very carefully. She wouldn’t 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?
“I’m giving this person to you. There’s no need to go through all this trouble.” Li Yuan really didn’t want to take over!
“Don’t. I don’t have a place to put him, and I would have to waste my money to support him.” Leng Ruoxue’s expression showed that there was no room for negotiation. She was definitely going to return him!
“I’ll pay…”
“I don’t want him even if I can get money,” Leng Ruoxue added, interrupting Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was helpless, really helpless…
“By the way, um, why did he become like this?” Li Yuan asked curiously while looking at the unconscious Li Yu, who had been thrown to the ground like a dead dog. It didn’t look like he was tortured!
“His mental fortitude is a bit weak. I just told him what happened recently. That’s all,” Leng Ruoxue said innocently.?It really isn’t my fault!
“Oh. Come, lock him in the dungeon.” Li Yuan nodded understandingly and then ordered the eunuch beside him.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Then the eunuch left the imperial study.
“Since it’s done, we’ll leave now,” Leng Ruoxue said frankly.
“Uh, about Ruoxue, your Big Sister Mo has been talking about you. Since you’re here, go see her!” Li Yuan said thoughtfully.
“Okay, I’ll go see Big Sister Mo then,” Leng Ruoxue said respectfully.?Did Li Yuan especially tell me this because something happened?
“Xue’er, are we going to see Mo Yingyue?” Freak asked softly after they walked out of the imperial study and into the imperial garden.
“Let’s go take a look!” 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.
“Big Sister Mo.” 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.
“Ruoxue, why do you have time to visit Big Sister?” Mo Yingyue, who was eating, said happily when she saw Leng Ruoxue. She hurriedly put down her chopsticks, stood up, walked to Leng Ruoxue’s side, and pulled her to sit down together.
“Ye Chen, do whatever you want!” Mo Yingyue said warmly.
“Okay.” Ye Chen casually found a chair and sat down.
“Sister Mo, we are here to return Li Yu,” Leng Ruoxue said honestly. She wouldn’t say anything hypocritical such as she came specially to see Mo Yingyue.
“I know you only came to see Big Sister as a slight detour.” Mo Yingyue sighed. This girl wouldn’t have come to the palace if there was nothing. But she really liked Leng Ruoxue’s character of distinguishing gratitude and grudges.
“Did anything displeasing happen recently, Big Sister Mo?” Leng Ruoxue went straight to the point. This had to be why Li Yuan asked her to come!
“A little!” Mo Yingyue said with a troubled expression.
“Big Sister Mo, tell me about it.”
“Recently, some ministers have been having designs on His Majesty,” Mo Yingyue said very implicitly, finding it difficult to say.
“Just that?” Leng Ruoxue was not impressed. She thought it was something big, but it was actually the easiest to solve.
“This isn’t a trivial matter. It concerns the stability of the country.” Mo Yingyue was in a very difficult position.
“Big Sister Mo, does this world venerate the strong?” Leng Ruoxue suddenly asked.
“Of course.” Mo Yingyue was puzzled.?What does Ruoxue mean?
“In 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 don’t believe anyone will dare to have any other thoughts,” Leng Ruoxue said very firmly.
“But…”
“Big Sister Mo, no one is willing to share their husband with other women. At worst, we’ll destroy whoever steals him. If it doesn’t work in the open, you can do it in the dark. You are the mother of a country and the first wife. Can’t you handle a few mistresses?” 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 isn’t a man who likes the new and hates the old. Otherwise, I will definitely make him regret it.
“Ruoxue, you don’t understand. There are also people in my family who have such thoughts, so…” Mo Yingyue really didn’t 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 didn’t care about being the empress, but she couldn’t give up her husband.
“Who?” Leng Ruoxue asked coldly.
“My cousin,” Mo Yingyue answered honestly.?Xue’er 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 Mo’s family affair after all, and it was hard for her to say anything as an outsider.
