Yun Bixue clenched both her fists. What she said was true. She wouldn’t be able to handle the pain of losing Xie Limo.

Afraid that Majesty Kang would harm Xie Limo, she had no choice but to look for Majesty Huang this time around.

She didn’t want Xie Limo to be in danger again.

Even if there were guards protecting him, it was better to be safe than sorry. Who knew what Majesty Kang would do next?

If Majesty Huang were to do something, things would be different.

Xiajun Yanli looked at Yun Bixue with a conflicted glint in his eyes. “You and Xie Limo could just kill Majesty Kang.”

As Yun Bixue listened to those words, her expression changed immediately. “I’m sorry, Majesty. I did have that idea, but we can’t do that.”

A glint of surprise flashed across Xiajun Yanli’s eyes. “Why not?”

“We don’t want the capital and Country A to be in chaos because of Majesty Kang. If the country were to be in a mess, only the citizens would suffer. Moreover, you would never agree to kill Majesty Kang, would you?”

Xiajun Yanli chuckled. “So clever, Madam Xie.”

Yun Bixue smiled vaguely and replied, “You flatter me.”

Xiajun Yanli put on a serious face once again. Sipping his tea, he appeared to be lost in his memories.

After a while, the air was dead silent and peaceful. Xiajun Yanli slowly said, “Madam Xie, you’re very similar to another woman I know. Regardless of your way of thinking or handling things, you are very similar to her.”

“It is my pleasure to resemble a woman that you know, Majesty.”

“Madam Xie, you don’t have to be so reserved here. Hao’er is probably willing to get close to you because of the same reason. That woman is actually Hao’er’s mother.”

Yun Bixue was stunned as she stared blankly at Xiajun Yanli. She hadn’t expected him to tell her all these. Didn’t everyone say that his past was a secret and no one dared to mention it before the two majesties?

Why did Majesty Huang tell her the truth on his own accord? Why did he merely appear sad but not hurt?

Could Majesty Huang and Hao’er’s mother possibly have some dispute?

No one would be able to accurately guess what had actually happened back then.

Xiajun Yanli looked at the surprised expression on Yun Bixue’s face and sighed. “The rumors going around are simply just rumors. Do you believe those rumors too?”

Yun Bixue shook her head. “Only fools would listen to rumors. I have my own speculations. May I speak my mind?”

“Go ahead.”

Yun Bixue cleared her throat and said, “Majesty Huang, you left politics and the royal family because of Hao’er’s mother. It was because she made you sad, wasn’t it?” After speaking, Yun Bixue looked intently into Xiajun Yanli’s eyes as she tried to see the changes on his face.

This secret was extremely crucial, and it could possibly change how the imperial family was structured now!

With Majesty Huang stepping in, he would be able to suppress Majesty Kang. That way, she wouldn’t need to worry about Majesty Kang harming Limo.

“Are you very curious, Madam Xie?”

“Curiosity killed the cat. I shall not be curious anymore.”

Xiajun Yanli chuckled, and his elegant face lit up.

When his housekeeper nearby heard the Majesty’s hearty laughter, his heart shuddered. On the other hand, Hao’er blinked his eyes and said, “Father hasn’t laughed in a very long time.”

The housekeeper brushed through Hao’er’s hair. The Majesty had always been silent and reserved because he hadn’t been able to let things go. He was also pressured to deal with his enemies.

Just as Yun Bixue calmed herself down, Xiajun Yanli added, “No. Everything that I’ve done was for my brother, Xiajun Yanting.”
