Wrong Marry to Cold CEO - C256

Yue Ye came out from Yun He Palace with a gloomy face, her steps were swift, and Elder Li held his umbrella as he ran behind her. On such a cold day, he pushed out a fine layer of sweat, which made him look extremely comical.

Eunuch Li, who couldn’t catch up to Yue Yang, raised his oil umbrella and couldn’t help but remind him, “Your Majesty, be careful of the slippery roads.”

Yue Ye didn’t pay any attention to him, the rain under her feet wetting his soft shoes, and just as Eunuch Li gave up comforting her, she suddenly stopped. Eunuch Li’s plump body charged forward, and he was so frightened that he retreated a step. He raised his umbrella high up and bowed his head while saying, “Your majesty, please forgive me, but this servant is blind!”

Yue Ye didn’t make an agreement with him, but stared at him, asking angrily, “I am asking you, how does Xue Fei know that we are looking for someone?”

“This servant doesn’t know!” Seeing Yue Ye’s anger, he hastily explained, “When this servant sent someone to search, I already told everyone not to be too distant from each other. It’s only right that Empress Snow is in the palace and doesn’t know about it.”

Yue Ye already guessed very early on that he wouldn’t be able to get any information out of him, only letting out a cold snort in a threatening manner, waving her sleeve and continuing to walk forward. He recalled the scene of Xue Fu fawning over him. The person that she was acting out to be him? Don’t even think about it!

Returning to the Town Hall, a man over a hundred years of age suddenly came out from the door, greeting Yue Ye, “Cultivator greets the emperor, your majesty!”

As soon as Yue Ye saw that it was a Priest from the State of Yun Yue, she said in a polite tone, “Master, please rise.” Looking up, he found that the empress dowager and yufei were also in the palace. After thanking him for his kindness, Xiu Zhen went to the yufei to pay his respects and then returned to the empress dowager’s side.

“Muhou.” When Yue Ye saw the empress dowager, she couldn’t help but feel a wave of helplessness. The empress dowager’s search for him was simply a matter of later on. He had pushed and pushed, but it had been only a few days since the Empress Dowager had returned. Although he was annoyed, he still bowed obediently.

The empress dowager smiled slightly and said, “Your son doesn’t need to be so courteous. Today, I heard from a cultivation master that the emperor would decide on a candidate for the empress within a short period of time. As for me, I’m happy.

Yue Ye wrinkled her brows, when did he ever decide on a candidate for Empress? Who could be his equal in this harem? His sharp gaze turned and landed on the cultivation master. The cultivation master immediately knelt to defend himself. “Your majesty, cultivators are only speaking the truth. They don’t have any intention of intimidating your ears with lies. Please forgive me.”

“What is the truth? Even I have not decided on a candidate for the Empress yet, but Master has decided on one for me? ” Yue Ye looked at him and ridiculed. Since twenty years ago, the Master Priestess had accompanied him in the palace. However, Yue Ye’s words made her angry, and the cultivation master naturally became flustered.

“I would like to hear the truth from the Grand Master.” Yue Ye turned around and sat on the seat of honor, taking the fragrant tea offered to her by yufei and taking a sip. If he didn’t know that the cultivation master had always been loyal, he would have thought that all of this was a scheme by the empress dowager.

The cultivation master straightened his back and said seriously, “Your majesty need not worry about the future. This empress candidate has been waiting for the Holy Pet in the harem for a long time, and will soon be salivating over it. It’s because Your Majesty has been negligent for the past few days, that she neglected the empress’s existence in the future.”

“Then tell me who exactly this candidate is, so that the Emperor will have a plan in mind!” The empress dowager couldn’t bear the master of cultivation speaking such profound words, so she asked somewhat impatiently.

“The Emperor is the Saint Lord of the State of Cloudmoon. Everything will be decided by him!” The cultivator’s words were still ambiguous, causing the empress dowager to choke with anger. Just as she was about to reprimand him. The yufei smiled and consoled her. “Esteemed empress dowager, since Grand Master said that the emperor would make a decision within a few days, why not calm down first and wait for his majesty to make a decision?”

“Sigh, I hope that’s the case!” The empress dowager held yufei’s hand and stood up from the chair. She said to Yue Ye with a smile, “Yi, one must at least decide between Imperial Concubine Xie and yufei. We can’t drag this on any longer!”

Yue Ye then stood up, lowering her head, “Everything depends on fate. Mother, no need to worry.”

“Yes, you’re right. The Queen Mother returned to the palace first.” With that, the empress dowager helped the palace maid out of the court. yufei gave Yue Ye a reluctant look, and quickly followed her. As she left, her eyes were filled with anticipation.

Staring at the two’s figures that were leaving in shame, Yue Ye let out a quiet sigh, turning her hawk-like gaze towards the cultivation master on the ground. Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows at him and said, “Master said that the person couldn’t be Imperial Concubine Yu, right?”

In this harem, there were only two first rank consorts, yufei and Xie Fei. The yufei was a girl the empress dowager had brought back from who knows where. Her family background was unknown, so if she became the empress dowager’s successor, then who knows what sort of scheme the empress dowager would come up with.

“There are plenty of beauties in the harem, and they are all based on a single thought from the emperor.” The cultivation master cupped his hands as he spoke, and Yue Ye shot a look at him while snorting coldly in her heart. How could he take what happened after that with just a thought? There were beauties in the harem, but each one of them carried an impure brand. Perhaps, the position in his heart had always been empty for someone, even though he probably wouldn’t have the chance to see her again …

The hall was tranquil, and only the sweet scent of rose-colored jade lingered in the air. Yue Ye’s slender jade-like fingers were pinching on a piece of dried flower. Xue Fu’s words just now suddenly popped out in his mind: “Chenqie has always liked the fragrance of this loli’s jade since she was young. Mother said that when chenqie meets a man who likes her, she must love him well, because … …” He is worthy of my love.

Was he worthy of her love? Who in the world didn’t want to love him? With a cold sneer, he opened his mouth wide in shame and went straight to the depths of his eyes.

Seeing him mutter to himself silently, the cultivation master carefully reminded, “Your majesty, if you want to pick a good candidate, why don’t you come into contact with all the concubines? Perhaps the Emperor will discover many true temperaments concealed by appearances. ”

“Then what do you think I should do?” Yue Ye raised her brows and asked. Her true nature was covered up by her appearance … He didn’t have much hope that those who would choose imperial concubines were nothing more than women who coveted wealth and riches. What kind of personality could they have?

The cultivation master was at a loss for words. This was a family matter for the emperor, so it was naturally not good for him to step in. If the Emperor had the intention, he would naturally have discovered it. However, this high and mighty Emperor of Yue Ye seemed to have had a bad impression of those women from the imperial harem from the very beginning.

Outside the window, the rain continued to fall. It was so shameful that it became dark in the room. The servant girl lit a candle and then placed the candlestick on the high platform. Red flames danced in the hall, emitting a faint yellow light.

The rain had finally stopped. The morning air looked as if it had just been washed clean, fresh and pleasant. Outside the courtyard, several female servants were using brooms to clear the water on the ground. Xue Fu stepped into the pavilion, raising his head, only to see that the Pear Blossom Valley had been reduced to a few white flowers, another year’s worth of blooming flowers.

Looking at the scattered white leaves on the branches, Xue Fu felt somewhat depressed in his heart. The hand holding the medicine bowl tightened and with a faint sigh, he entered the courtyard. When Cheng mama saw Xue Fu, she came forward to welcome him with a smile. “Snow Concubine, grand consort is still sleeping, do you want to come in?”

“No need, I’ll send some scented tea to grand consort. When grand consort wakes up later, I’ll warm it up a little and give it to grand consort to drink.” Xue Fu then gave the Pear Blossom Tea that he had personally brewed to the mama’s hands.

Pear Blossom Tea was a very particular way of brewing tea. Xue Fu had learned it from Miaofeng Temple, but ordinary people would not be able to hold the water temperature or the number of floral slices. Thus, she would personally brew a cup for grand consort at regular times every day. Seeing that the weather was good today, and just happened to want to walk around Pear Garden, she personally delivered some scented tea.

Senior Servant Cheng took the scented tea and said with a smile, “Empress, you’re really considerate. Your pear flower tea really made grand consort cough quite a bit better.” Xue Fu only smiled slightly, and after bidding farewell to Cheng mama, he turned around and walked towards Yun He Palace.

As soon as he entered the Cloud Palace, he received word from Qing He and the mama that the emperor would be dining with the imperial concubines at noon today. Bai Yuqi was so happy that he was like a happy little bird that was about to fly inside the house, but Xue Fu stayed in the courtyard and did not manage to recover even after a long time. The water droplets on the branches of the pear blossoms above her head rolled a few times like pearls with broken strings. They fell directly onto her neck, freezing her heart.

“Empress, what’s wrong?” Xiang Er asked with concern. Every time she mentioned that she wanted to meet with the emperor, she reacted like this!

“It’s fine. Prepare some beautiful palace clothing and accessories for me.” Xue Fu calmly said as he raised his hand to wipe the drop of ice water on his neck with a silk handkerchief. The ice water had clearly been wiped away, but it was still as cold as ever, causing her heart to tremble.

As he walked into the house, Xue Fu sat at the table, raised his left hand and used the brush to draw. On the white paper, he wrote a few words. These days, she was obsessed with transcribing scriptures. Only the moment when the tip of her pen danced on the white paper could calm her agitated heart.

Back at Miaofeng Temple, Master Yuzhen had allowed her to memorize scriptures from childhood, so she didn’t need to read them to copy their contents onto a piece of paper. This was undoubtedly the best way to calm her down. Previously, she didn’t understand why her teacher wanted her to memorize scriptures, but now, she finally understood!

The white paper was written in black and white, like a long piece of silk. Xiang Er rested his chin on his hands as he napped, Yun’er held onto her large sleeves while she grinded the ink on the inkstone. Tilting her head, she saw Xue Fu’s brush tip brushing across the snow-white paper, leaving behind a line of beautiful silk words. With eyes full of worship, he never thought that Xue Fu’s left hand would be able to write such a good character.

Yun’er glanced at the warm sun outside the door and softly reminded her, “Empress, it’s time to go to the Clear Harmony Palace.”

Although her voice was soft, when it floated into Xue Fu’s ears, she still unconsciously shook the hand that was holding the pen. The ink on the tip of the pen dripped down soundlessly, falling onto the white paper. Her heart clenched as well.

Yun’er did not notice anything abnormal about her as she waved her hand in front of Xiang Er, who immediately stood up from his chair. Accompanying Yun’er in attending to Xue Fu changing clothes, this was the first time Xue Fu had chosen this palace attire for himself. This time, she purposely dressed herself up more cleanly. She wore simple and elegant court attire, had a pink plum blossom on her head, and her hair was combed into a neat and tidy bun. She looked very elegant and proper.

Xiang Er, who was holding onto the jade hairpin, looked at her in confusion. She was puzzled by her master’s choice of this simple outfit when all the palace concubines were fighting over this beauty. But she did not ask any further, because Xue Fu’s actions had always been weird.

Xue Fu let Yun’er wait at the door. She walked into the cabinet by herself and took out the small piece of Gut Piercing Poison from under the bed. It was time to act, whether or not he succeeded or failed, in the span of a single thought. He placed the last drop of poison on the armor, wrapped the bottle with a silk handkerchief and stuffed it back under the bed. After taking a deep breath, he walked out of the pavilion.
