Farewell (1)
On the day Zhao Mingyu left, Ye Mu accompanied her on behalf of Mo Linyuan. Zhao Mingyu could not go back with great fanfare, so it was just the two of them on their own horse, riding alone along the official road.
Zhao Mingyu, dressed in her disguise, smiled and said, “When I go back, I will say it was Mo Linyuan who discovered Zhao Shu’s intention and killed him. He snatched the City Boundary Map back, and hearing this news, I snuck out, narrowly escaping death. After hiding my identity, I evaded pursuit and returned to my home country.”
After she finished speaking, she smiled and asked Ye Mu, “Do you think there is a problem with my rhetoric?”
Ye Mu shook her head, “Just say what you think is appropriate when the time comes. Anyway, it doesn’t matter what you say. Mo Linyuan won’t care.”
Zhao Mingyu said, “Naturally, he won’t care. Emperor Father dare not come to trouble him, but I am the bitter one. I took this trip in vain; not only did I not gain anything, I suffered a double loss.”
Ye Mu couldn’t help but expose her, “Mo Linyuan has already handed over his people in Zhao Kingdom to you. With your ability, it is not difficult to regain power. Maybe you can go even further! So no matter what you say, I will not sympathize with you.”
“Xiao Mu’er is so ruthless!”
“Don’t call me Xiao Mu’er.” Ye Mu looked at her helplessly.
“Then why can Mo Linyuan call you that?” Zhao Mingyu was a little dissatisfied.
Ye Mu sighed, “I can’t beat him.”
“Hahahaha!” Zhao Mingyu couldn’t help but look at her sympathetically, “I already have a foreboding of a future where you will be eaten up.”
Ye Mu felt resentful and didn’t want to talk to her.
The horses under the two of them walked slowly, the weather gradually became colder, and the trees on both sides turned yellow. The scenery still looked beautiful.
Zhao Mingyu was also full of expectations for the future. “When I go back, I must force my Emperor Father to make me the Female Crown Prince. I want to be a Female Emperor. Why can men do it and women cannot? I didn’t work hard for so long to end up as Emperor Father’s dog.”
Seeing her high spirits, Ye Mu couldn’t help asking, “What about after you become the Emperor?”
Zhao Mingyu’s beautiful eyes brightened. “Of course it is to expand the imperial harem and enjoy it! When I was a child looking at my father’s harem of three palaces and six courtyards, I had a terrifying idea: if I could be the emperor, it would be great. When that time comes, I also want three palaces and six courtyards, and to be pampered by others.”
Ye Mu thought about the scene and was inexplicably interested. “Wouldn’t you be too busy then?”
Zhao Mingyu snorted at her. “Why does this sound like jealousy? That’s right, just one is enough to keep you busy. If you want to have three palaces and six courtyards, I am afraid it will be very difficult in your lifetime!”
“That sounds terrible; I’ve never thought about that kind of thing.” Ye Mu said hastily, “It’s tiring to have multiple lovers. I would rather live peacefully with one. There is nothing wrong with that.”
Hearing what she said, Zhao Mingyu smiled slightly and said with some jealousy, “Actually, I envy you very much. Mo Linyuan is not a good person, but from what I can see, he is very sincere to you so far. I, at least, haven’t met an emperor who pampers someone so much. You don’t have to abide by the imperial etiquettes and get the freedom you want. This is the result of his hard work.”
Ye Mu was embarrassed and humbly wanted to say a few words, when she heard Zhao Mingyu say, “It’s a pity I couldn’t seduce him. otherwise, how could I let you benefit from it?”
Ye Mu: …
“You’d better go soon, I’ll send you off here.”
