Chapter 158 – Destined to Help You (2)

Seeing her open the letters he had deliberately ignored, Mo Linyuan said with a slight headache, “The ruler of a country handles too many matters. I don’t know much about remediating natural disasters, so rather than making the wrong decision by myself, I thought, why not deal with it later and discuss it with the six tribes?”

Although Mo Linyuan is young, he still knows himself quite well. He isn’t the kind of person who would try to be reckless. Ye Mu asked him with great interest, “Then what are you good at?”

Mo Linyuan narrowed his eyes and smiled. “I seem to be well-versed in the art of bargaining things to my benefit!” As he said this, he could not help but feel somewhat proud of himself.

When Ye Mu saw him raise his chin and his almond-shaped eyes carrying a glimmer as he smiled, she thought he was even more handsome than a celestial child in the sky. In the end, she couldn’t help but pinch his cheeks. “You still have time to be pleased with yourself, huh! You don’t look like a child at all.”

Mo Linyuan quickly evaded. Seeing that no one was around, he covered his face and looked at her accusingly! He then instead pinched Ye Mu’s face out of adoration. How can he allow Ye Mu to tweak his face? He was so much older than her!

In the end, he was still young, so to cover it up, he lowered his head and continued to read the papers.

It was just that the dispute over power techniques that had previously been very clear in his sea of consciousness now looked like a mess, and he couldn’t make sense of it even after half a day.

Ye Mu didn’t notice his abnormality and smiled, “You’re so smart, you can still study now!”

“Although the empress dowager’s strength is at its weakest, the three great families are still in power. I don’t dare hand over the vital position to the imperial tutor so quickly.

Ye Mu stroked her chin thoughtfully. “So, you want to be diligent in your education, but can’t find someone you trust.”

“Right, even if it’s my grandfather’s house, there still poses a lot of inconveniences.”

“Then, it’s done!” Ye Mu puffed out her chest and patted it, roaring, “Do you see it? Since masters are too scarce, you should open your eyes to a new one!”

Mo Linyuan stared at her for a long time, and finally let out a faint smile. “I don’t see one.”

“What are you talking saying? It’s me!” Ye Mu angrily pressed down the paper in his hands, and looked at him with her round eyes, “I know a lot of things!”

“Oh?” Seeing her approach, Mo Linyuan teased her with interest. “But you’re only seven years old. How could you know so much?”

Ye Mu rolled her eyes, “Could it be that you’ve never heard of divine bestowment?” She pointed at herself and said with firmness, “I am someone bestowed by the heavens. The heavens have ordained me to help you!”

Mo Linyuan couldn’t help but laugh. With her chubby face so close to his, she was so adorable that he wanted to take a bite out of her!

“Then, you’re an expert in the matters of this world?”

“That’s guaranteed.” Ye Mu placed her hands on her waist.

Mo Linyuan drew closer to her. On the bed, the two of them sat very close to each other, separated only by a short tea table. “Then tell me, will I defeat the empress dowager in the end?”

“Definitely.”

“Then, how did I defeat Her Majesty?”

Mo Linyuan was only joking around; he didn’t expect Ye Mu to think about it seriously.

“Hmm… In the end, the empress dowager had an affair with someone whom you were able to hold in captivity. And to protect that person, she handed over her authority as a regent. But that person’s identity is not in the book…”

Not in the book.

Ye Mu, who quietly said these words, covered her mouth with both hands as he looked at Mo Linyuan with unblinking eyes. He probably didn’t hear anything.

Right?

“A book?”

Mo Linyuan heard it!

Ye Mu stuttered, “Ah, books–scholars tell that we should not reveal fate so casually!”

Mo Linyuan narrowed his eyes. “So, you’re not going to tell me?”

Ye Mu shook her head. “I won’t say it even if you beat me to death.”

It is easier to accept if they rever her as someone from the heavens who descended to the mortal world to mentor the emperor.
