To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C87

The past few days were rather peaceful, but the increasingly peaceful days made Shi Anran feel that something strange was happening. She had a feeling that something was about to happen, and in the past few days, she had been feeling a little uneasy.

The morning air was thin. Shi Anran stood by the window, holding the little red fox in her arms and stroking its head time and time again.

Liu Yue placed the dim sum on the table, and sighed: “Miss, if you are bored, then this servant will accompany Miss to the garden to take a walk. Spring has started in the front garden, and it is even earlier than in previous years!”

Shi Anran’s expression was indifferent, and it was unknown what she was thinking. She slowly retracted her deep gaze, and her eyes landed on the plate of snacks. Her long fingers gently pinched a piece of it and fed it to the little fox: “Liu Yue, did anything happen in the Heaven Palace?”

Liu Yue thought for a while, then smiled and said: “Nothing happened, but there is one more strange thing that happened. This servant is not used to the fact that the Second Miss hasn’t caused any big trouble recently. Eh? Why do you ask? ”

“I’m fine. The weather seems to be not bad today. Let’s go out for a walk in the afternoon! ”

“Sure, where does Miss want to go?” Liu Yue waited for her answer in anticipation.

Seeing that the little fox had started to eat, Shi Anran smiled lightly and said, “Let’s go to the Bright Moon Restaurant!”

Isn’t that the place where the Third Prince invited their young miss to banquet? Could it be that Miss has feelings for the Third Prince?

Although Liu Yue was suspicious, she did not ask further. She nodded her head and replied: “Then I’ll go prepare the carriage first!”

“Hiss …” When Shi Anran was in a daze, he suddenly frowned and looked down at her finger that had been bitten. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, then slowly relaxed. It seemed that the fox was still a fox after all. No matter how hard it tried to feed and take care of her, it was still a fox. Perhaps one day, it would turn around and pounce on her.

Other than using each other, Third Prince wanted to get what he wanted, while Shi Anran only wanted to escape the fate of her previous life. When helping him become the ruler of the world, she could also obtain the most noble status, so wouldn’t this be the same as killing two birds with one stone?

The Third Prince was a very shrewd and scheming city. She only hoped that the person he had decided on would not disappoint her.

As he thought about it, the corner of Shi Anran’s lips curled up into a trace of an indescribable smile.

It was about the afternoon when Liu Yue finally walked into the Bright Moon Tower. The shopkeeper seemed to have recognized her, or perhaps it should be said that this was the territory of the Third Prince, and had paid more attention to Shi Anran.

The simple dishes on the table were the same as last time. Seeing Shi Anran eating alone here, the shopkeeper left calmly. After instructing a few words to the doorman, the doorman nodded and left.

Liu Yue looked at this scene and smiled back at Shi Anran, and now she was only waiting for the arrival of the Third Prince.

As expected, after an hour, the Third Prince went in by himself. He was not surprised to see her, “Anran …”

“The news from Third Prince sure is fast!” The Shi Anran today was very different from usual. She restrained her usual pretentious manner and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face. After she was covered by a cup of wine, her lips slightly curled up, and with a hint of a finger: “But Third Prince came late, do you want to punish him?”

Li Mu secretly said in his heart, pretending that he couldn’t understand the look in her eyes. He lifted up his clothes and sat with her, taking the opportunity to receive the cup of wine.

“Is the Third Prince not afraid that Anran will poison the wine?” He covered his mouth and chuckled. She clearly meant to remind him, but he said it in a joking tone.

Li Mu looked at her with a smile and swallowed the alcohol.

She ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then said very casually, “Do you still remember the question that Third Prince asked Anran before. What is the most important thing in the world?”

Under Li Mu’s puzzled gaze, he heard Shi Anran slowly say: “Anran thinks that the most important power and wealth will only be wealth when the power is greater, Third Prince, what do you think?”

Her words had a double meaning, Li Mu’s expression changed slightly, but quickly recovered back to her usual calm demeanor, and then she gently said: “As the Young Master of the imperial family, I am already rich.”

“Is that so? But Anran does not think that the Third Prince is rich. ” Shi Anran still spoke in a casual tone.

“What does Anran mean by that?” Although her words did not sound good, Li Mu was very interested in hearing what she had to say.

After Shi Anran took a sip of the wine, her lips lifted slightly, and a cool breeze brushed up a few strands of hair on her forehead, “The real wealth is… “With a flip of her hand, she turned the clouds over into rain, and sat at a high vantage point looking at all the beautiful mountains and rivers …” Shi Anran refused to believe that someone as sensitive as the Third Prince would not be able to understand the meaning behind her words. She was betting on the ambition of the Third Prince!

After being silent for a long time, the look in Li Mu’s eyes turned warm, the look in his eyes became serious, and his actions of tasting the wine secretly thought: How does this little girl know about these things?

“Sometimes, relying on your own strength is indeed not enough. Does Third Prince feel that Anran’s words are still reasonable?” Shi Anran smiled, seeing that he did not even say anything, the odds of winning were already more than half in her heart.

Li Mu took in a deep breath. With a slight frown, a dull look flashed past his eyes, but it was not an angry look, “Anran, you have passed …”

The topic passed by just like that, the Third Prince continued to chat happily with her, as though she did not hear what she had said just now. In that moment, Shi Anran was also unable to decipher what he had said. However, she would not give up just like that. There would be more chances for them to get along in the future.

After leaving Bright Moon Tower, Shi Anran began to stroll in the market.

“Miss, what are you going to do with these silks?” Liu Yue followed behind her.

Shi Anran smiled lightly, “You’ll know when the time comes.”

Seeing that the mirror on the stall was extremely exquisite, Liu Yue picked up the mirror and looked at it: “Young miss, this mirror is really unique!”

Shi Anran unintentionally took a glance and was shocked. Through the mirror, she could see two sneaky people staring at him, which meant that they were being followed.

She took a deep breath and pretended that nothing had happened. It wasn’t dark yet. No matter how brave these people were, they wouldn’t dare to attack her in this bustling city, right? Thinking about it, Shi Anran walked forward: “Liu Yue, it seems very lively over there, let’s go take a look.”

Didn’t Miss dislike lively places? Liu Yue scratched the back of her head and followed her in a small jog. The two men who were hiding in the dark looked at each other, revealing an extremely vulgar smile.

Although she had experienced life and death in her previous life, Shi Anran was no longer afraid. Although death was nothing to fear, she did not want to lose her life so easily. From the looks of it, she had been following them for a long time. At this time, she suddenly thought of Xiang Rongcheng, as though every time she had something on her mind, he would immediately appear.

Liu Yue focused on the people on stage singing, and when it was exciting, she would even clap and cheer. However, Shi Anran was still worried. She discovered that there was a hand on her waist that was slowly moving upstream. Gritting her teeth, she raised her hand and ruthlessly stepped on that person’s leg.
