Chapitre 124

As she spoke, Rongyue stroked the purple-clad beauty's cheek, feigning ignorance.

With a cold slap, the purple-clad beauty looked at Rongyue without fear, her expression icy: "Father is upright and outspoken, and his words may be harsh, but every word is for the Emperor's sake. If the Emperor doesn't appreciate it, so be it. Why bother toying with him!"

"Shut up, Xiao'er!" Dong Cheng said with a look of fear. "Xiao'er is young and ignorant. She did not mean to offend Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will have mercy..." The beauty in purple was Dong Cheng's daughter, Dong Xiao.

Looking at the beauty with great interest, Rongyue thought to herself: Like father, like daughter! Just like her, quick-witted and straightforward, this kind of beauty is to her liking!

"Don't worry, Grand Minister of Agriculture, I've always been very lenient with beautiful women."

Ignoring the barely concealed anger in Dong Xiao's eyes, Rong Yue took her smooth hand and strode forward, leaving behind a meaningful sigh: "Grand Minister of Agriculture, you have raised your daughter very well!"

Waves of red mist swept past! Tuoba Chen's thin lips tightened, and he gave Dong Cheng, who seemed still in shock, a chilling glance. He then strode forward, heading towards the two seemingly intimate figures ahead...

After closing the palace door, Tuoba Chen embraced Rongyue and kissed her wildly, saying resentfully, "I've noticed that you seem to have an unusual interest in women!"

"How could that be! Don't talk nonsense, my sexual orientation is perfectly normal!"

"Yeah?"

"Of course it is!"

"But why did you allow that woman to enter the palace?"

"I was forced into this situation, wasn't I? Once those old fogies' enthusiasm wanes, I'll arrange for her to leave the palace. We can't let a perfectly good young woman die a widow-like death in the deep palace..."

"You have no feelings for her? Not even a little bit?"

"Are you kidding me? How could that be!"

"How could it be impossible! Back then, Yu Yan..." Realizing his slip of the tongue, Tuoba Chen quickly shut his mouth, looking at Rong Yue with some unease. Yu Yan had always been a taboo subject between them, something they had always kept strictly confidential...

Yu Yan...

"I heard she... recently gave birth to a son?"

Gently embracing Rongyue from behind, Tuoba Chen softly stroked her forehead with his chin: "Don't worry, Yuyan is doing very well now. Your brother dotes on her; the four concubines and eight wives of the Crown Prince are practically non-existent. He treats her with exclusive favor. Two months ago, she gave birth to your brother's first child, and he was overjoyed. I heard he intends to make her the Crown Princess..."

"real?"

Why would I lie to you?

Her eyes sparkled, her almond-shaped pupils filled with a look of relief. Yu Yan, your well-being is her greatest comfort…

The sky was as dark as ink, and the wind howled like cranes.

A sharp blade, gleaming in the sunlight; amidst the dappled shadows of the trees, two dark figures stand with their backs to the moon.

How's the task I asked you to do?

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. For the past two years, I have been in charge of all kinds of important military affairs in the court, so I am quite familiar with the troop deployment in the capital. Therefore, the deployment was carried out with ease and did not require much effort..."

"Oh? So he trusts you to the point of hatred?"

"Your subordinate... has failed her trust..."

"What? Have you softened your heart?"

"Please, Lord, spare her life!"

"Left Envoy, repeat that to me again!"

"Please, my lord... *poof!*" A jet of blood shot out into the air, its crimson gleaming against the cold moonlight.

"This is just a small lesson for you. If you do it again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"But my lord..."

"Have you forgotten who your master really is! Left Envoy, you actually want me to release that tiger? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?!"

"My lord, she has treated me quite well after all..."

"Shut up! Left Envoy, you're getting more and more outrageous! What kind of bewitching potion did he give you to make you speak for him like this! Ha! He's even managed to bribe my loyal Left Envoy. It seems this man must be eliminated!"

"host……"

"Don't forget that your sister Yuyan is still suffering in the Eastern Dynasty's palace! Left Envoy, don't forget why you came here in the first place!"

After a few seconds of silence, a dark figure suddenly knelt down with a thud: "My lord, she will not threaten your great cause."

"Ha, others may not know his capabilities, but after following him for so many years, don't you understand?"

"Even if she has all the ability, it's all in vain... because she... is a woman..."

woman?!!

"Are you... do you really believe that?"

"I have not uttered a single falsehood."

It turned out to be a woman...

No wonder……

Gazing at the inky black sky in the distance, a glint flashed in the eyes of the man in black standing alone under the clear moon, making him appear even more unfathomable...

"Why were you only informed of such a big matter today?"

"I only just found out myself."
