Chapter 1027: Chapter 1025: Chu Yihan, You Jerk
Su Yingxue felt a surge of irritation boil up to her forehead, “Your granddad over my dead body!”
Leng Shuqing and Leng Muling flinched, and Leng Muling covertly tugged at Leng Shuqing’s sleeve, “Sister, is this Miss Su Yingxue? The future empress, why is she behaving so…”
Rudely?
And in front of the emperor, isn’t she afraid of his blame?
Leng Shuqing was also quite shocked, but she was more composed than Leng Muling and patted the back of her hand, “Don’t speak carelessly.”
“Oh.” Leng Muling’s eyes flickered, thinking if the future empress could be like this, then why couldn’t she, Leng Muling, enter the palace and have a go?
She had thought that since Su Yingxue was from the Marquis’s Manor and so outstanding, she must have something exceptional about her, but now it seemed, apart from beauty, there wasn’t much noteworthy.
“Yingxue, you must listen to my explanation. Today I merely encountered Zhuo Junli to discuss state affairs, not for a selection of consorts. Where did you hear such rumors?”
Chu Yihan reached out to take Su Yingxue’s hand, his eyes cold and solemn.
When had he ever mentioned taking another consort?
“Not selecting a consort, would they… would they, two legitimate daughters from the Prime Minister’s Estate, come to see you? When else could they have not seen you? It has to be in private? Chu Yihan, you’re deceiving me!” Su Yingxue exploded with anger.
Chu Yihan had once given her a sense of security, making her believe that other than herself, no one else could get close to him—he would not accept anyone else!
But now, there were two esteemed and beautiful young ladies, so vibrant in front of him!
How could she not overthink?
And how could she believe him!
“This was Zhuo Junli’s arrangement!”
Chu Yihan’s icy and bloodthirsty gaze shot toward the man who was enjoying the spectacle, Zhuo Junli spread his hands innocently, “Miss Su, I am just a subject, naturally acting on the emperor’s orders! The legitimate daughters from my Prime Minister’s residence are naturally here to see the emperor, hence they dressed so grandly!”
If Zhuo Junli hadn’t mentioned it, Su Yingxue would not have noticed.
Now looking carefully, the two young ladies still kneeling on the ground were all dressed in sumptuous colors, understated yet grand, calm and dignified, refined and lovely, two extremely beautiful ladies of great family, with excellent temperaments.
Compared to her own casual attire of the day, obviously, they had come with a purpose.
“You’re still saying it’s not for selecting consorts? They dressed up so nicely just to see the air? Chu Yihan, could it be that in the time you haven’t seen me, without mentioning making me the empress, you’ve turned to new love after your accession! You jerk!”
Su Yingxue, filled with rage, swung her fists at Chu Yihan, her anger and grievance bursting forth like a fountain, thinking of the lovesickness she had suffered these days and the little creature causing trouble in her belly.
Bullying!
Chu Yihan was bullying her too much!
“Su Yingxue!”
Chu Yihan was at a loss for words from her rebuke, he held her shoulders to calm her down, “What are you talking about? How could I change my affections? About making you the empress, why didn’t you come to ask me about it? When you met with Qin Muyan, I never laid a hand on you like this.”
“Hit me? Chu Yihan, you actually want to hit me!”
Su Yingxue felt shattered, staring at Chu Yihan in disbelief, “You… you weren’t like this with me before! You used to be so tender with me, you couldn’t even bear to scold me, and now you actually want to hit me! Chu Yihan!!!”
“…”
Chu Yihan’s eyes were deep with complexity.
It had been a while since he last saw her, and Su Yingxue’s temper was inexplicably bewildering.
Where had his words led her astray?
