Wrong Marry to Cold CEO - C264
However, Xue Fu did not appreciate his kindness, and continued to speak with him in a calm tone, “Your majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, it is only right that you meet with Xue Fu to protect Miaofeng. The past shall be past, the Emperor does not need to treat this matter as a kindness and should not repay the Emperor with such kindness towards Xue Fu. ”
“How do you know that I am repaying you? “I like you and want you to become my woman. I not only want to show you kindness, but also make you my queen so that you can be by my side every day.” Yue Ye gritted her teeth as she spoke, and although her tone was indignant, it was extremely serious.
Xue Fu’s heart skipped a beat because of his words. This was something that she had never thought about, nor dared to think about. But he had said it so easily. Had his love for her been so deep that night? She did not dare to look up, and just happened to meet his deep gaze, which seemed so sincere!
The entire imperial court wasn’t even willing to go to the morning court in order to kill her. If the Emperor were to mention her as his successor now, it would only become more and more chaotic. She’s not interested in the back, so… She turned her face away and spoke indifferently: “Did the emperor mistakenly love Xue Fu? Three years ago, during that short meeting, the Emperor did not even see Xue Fu’s face … ”
“Has Xue Fei never heard of love at first sight?” He clearly understood what Xue Fu was questioning. Previously, he had only met her for a short period of time. If he were to meet her by chance now, it would be impossible for him to remember her.
He was only seventeen at the time, and he was wholeheartedly involved with national affairs. He had never paid attention to matters like relationships. Even though the late emperor had found him quite a few concubines, he refused them all without even looking at them. If not for the fact that he met Xue Fu in Teng Prefecture, that she suddenly showed love and saved his life, he probably would not have even looked at her. Fate was such a bizarre and coincidental thing. Not only did it make him fall in love with her when he was young, it also made him fall in love with her for the first time!
His arm wrapped around her waist and he pulled her into his embrace. He gazed at the silent her and said, “If you didn’t save us back then, we wouldn’t have hugged you like this today. Xue Fu … What I have today is all your credit. Even if I am repaying you for your kindness, it’s still the same. I just want to show you my kindness. ”
“Please, your majesty, put the greater picture above all else!” Xue Fu suddenly pushed him away and coldly turned away.
It had to be said that she was moved, touched by his words. Such a direct confession, I’m afraid no woman can bear it? Especially a girl like Xue Fu who had grown up in a palace. However, even if she was moved, the rational her would still remember what she should do.
In order to not cause the weak wall at the bottom of his heart to collapse, Xue Fu didn’t wait for him to speak as he walked towards the side room. He closed the latticed door casually. The small sound of the door softly trembling resounded in the room as it lightly crashed into his heart. The corner of his lips curled up helplessly, revealing a bitter smile.
Women really couldn’t be spoiled. The more they spoilt themselves, the more they would spoil themselves. He thought about how she had been able to put on an act of subservience in front of him a few days ago. After this incident with the poison, she was too lazy to even put on an act, and she began to view him, the emperor, with less and less importance.
After a few days of stalemate, Yue Ye finally stood in the audience hall, looking down at the group of officials who didn’t dare to say anything. His gaze was as cold and calm as ever, as if he was not the least bit flustered by the fact that the officials had come to an end.
With a sharp gaze, he swept across the crowd and landed on Prime Minister Bai who was at the front. With a smirk, he asked: “Master Prime Minister Bai, are you better now?”
Prime Minister Bai immediately knelt down and respectfully replied, “Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.
“It’s good that you’re fine.” Yue Ye smiled, and calmly asked, “Regarding Xue Fei’s act of killing the monarch, how do you think we should deal with her, Senior Prime Minister?”
The Prime Minister Bai was a little apprehensive, and hurriedly replied, “It’s up to Your Majesty to decide!”
“Scram!” “I don’t want to hear those empty words.” Yue Ye let out a helpless sigh, sweeping her eyes over the other officials once again. For the first time, she said in such a sincere voice, “We understand the feelings of all the officials, but I just want to protect my beloved woman. That’s all.
Although his tone was sincere, it also carried a hint of coldness and fierceness. With these words, many ministers lowered their heads, not daring to utter a single word. After a moment of silence, General Liu, who had just returned from the border, bowed his head and said, “Your majesty, it’s not like this subject can’t accommodate a single woman. Xue Fei cannot be let off so easily because she committed the crime of beheading. “Who knows what will happen to the emperor in the future. This is also done to protect the emperor’s safety.”
“But three years ago, when Xue Fei saved my life, I could have given her no rewards. Now she wants to take my life back, but I want to punish her with death. Isn’t it reasonable for me to do that?” Yue Ye placed her hand on the Dragon Throne’s arm, looking at him with great deterrence.
“This …” General Liu was stumped, then he boldly said, “This is not in accordance with the rules of the State of Yun Yue!”
“The Cloud Moon Kingdom’s regulations do not indicate that I am not allowed to repay gratitude. I have always loved and hated clearly, those who obstruct me die, and those who follow me will be properly nurtured by me.” Which one of my beloved ones didn’t have the intention to kill me three years ago? Aren’t they all loyal? “I have the confidence to eliminate Xue Fei’s hatred towards me. I want to make her my benefactor and cherish her for the rest of her life …”
“Your Majesty …” At this moment, General Liu was no longer the only one to protest, but the entire assembly was shouting out loudly. They were all stunned by his last sentence. It was already difficult for the masses to forgive Xue Fei, but the emperor still wanted to make her his successor? This time, even the few cowardly officials couldn’t help but jump out. The group shouted together, “Your Majesty, please reconsider!”
“I’ve already thought about it three times.” With a slight push from Yue Ye’s palm, the veins on the back of her hands popped out. “As for my family matters, I will take care of them. My beloved ones should also understand my character, and they will definitely not ignore the mountains and rivers because of my beauty. All of you can rest assured.”
“Your majesty, preserving the body of the dragon is the best way to manage the affairs of the country. This subject and others are loyal enough to seek Your Majesty’s judgement!” General Liu was anxious. He didn’t even care about offending the emperor. His daughter, Huaifei, was still very hopeful. And Yue Ye’s sudden decision just now was nothing more than giving him a bucket of ice water, chilling him to the bone!
“Didn’t General Liu and his various liaisons keep urging us to decide on the empress dowager as soon as possible? Now that I have finally decided it with great difficulty, the various officials should be happy. ”
“But Xue Fei …”
“Apart from that small mistake, Xue Fei’s appearance is dignified and dignified. She’s learned and well-mannered, and has saved my life before. Is she not worthy of being behind?” Yue Ye raised her brows at him, as she naturally understood what General Liu was thinking, and her eyes were full of coldness.
Your Highness, other than the happiness in his heart due to Prime Minister Bai, the other court officials all shook their heads and sighed. Since the emperor had already said this, there didn’t seem to be anything left to say. What’s more, this move seemed to be of no use to Yue Ye, because his mental state was much better than this group of court officials.
He had always hoped that Xue Fu would receive the emperor’s eye on him, and then sprinkle the medicine into his food. But who would have thought that she actually saved the life of the emperor three years ago, and flew up the branch overnight to become a phoenix. In the future, he would be the country’s sovereign. Even if he couldn’t topple the emperor, he would be able to live a carefree and peaceful life!
But in order to calm the fury of the crowd, he had to put on an act on the surface. Lowering his body to the ground, he kowtowed to Yue Ye, saying with a terrified voice, “Your majesty! My daughter is guilty, and being able to keep her life is already a blessing.
Yue Ye only shot him a cold glance, and said with a cold smile, “In these days of great joy, we will also grant you a pardon for the crimes of not having any women in the Prime Minister Bai Sect. You can just go back and reflect on it.” The meaning behind his words was very clear. If he dared to be rash again, he would not forgive him! Prime Minister Bai nodded continuously, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.
When Yue Ye returned to the Audience Hall, she saw the empress dowager sitting on the throne with a gloomy expression. He was annoyed, he had just explained to the officials that he was almost sick of Xue Fu and did not want to explain it again. However, it was too late for him to withdraw. He could only obediently enter the hall and respectfully bow to the empress dowager. “Imperial Mother.”
Every time the empress dowager traveled, she would accompany the yufei at her side to pay her respects. “This concubine pays her respects to Your Majesty.” There was a hint of anger in his tone, and his eyes were slightly red. It was obvious that he had just cried.
“Rise.” He was clear about the yufei’s desire to be the next successor, and not only her, which woman in the imperial harem didn’t want to be the next successor? Although she felt disdain in her heart, she still acted amiably on the surface, instructing the servant girl behind her to show her a seat.
“Yi, are you really going to set that Consort as your successor?” The empress dowager looked at him with dissatisfaction and went straight to the point.
Yue Ye didn’t hide anything, looking at the empress dowager with a resolute face, she said, “Yes, mother. I want to take her as my backer.”
When the empress dowager saw how resolute he deserved, the anger in her heart became even more serious. She reprimanded him, “Have you gone mad? Could it be that you want to give her a chance to make her move against you? ”
“Imperial Mother, don’t worry. Xue Fu will no longer harm me.”
“Alright, looks like you’ve made up your mind. Then mother really wants to hear it. Let’s see if yufei can’t compare to that Xue Fei in any way. Why must you give up on the candidate that mother has been recommending to you?” The empress dowager was in a hurry as she nodded. The phoenix crown on her head swayed sharply, her astute eyes brimming with displeasure towards Yue Ye.
