Yun Bixue’s eyes shone resolutely. She had always remembered what Xie Limo had said to her in the past.
Back then, she had asked about what they had to do if Majesty Kang were to protect the Yuan family.
Xie Limo had answered that they could look for a person who could stand against Majesty Kang.
Since then, she had been thinking about the right person. Without a doubt, that person would be Majesty Huang.
Indeed, she had an ulterior motive for looking for Majesty Huang. She didn’t want her husband to be so tired and thought that Majesty Huang would be able to help him.
Xiajun Yanli remained silent. “Madam Xie, Hao’er might be fond of you, but do you think that you’ll be able to convince me so easily?”
“Majesty Huang, you have a child. As a parent, you must be willing to do everything for him. Hao’er is a lovely child, and I really like him. I don’t have any particular reasons for treating him well. It was only recently that I thought of looking for you. I might sound like I’m reasoning with you, but honestly speaking, I’m doing this for my husband and my unborn child. I want to do something for them. Even though it might make things difficult for you, I still want to give it a try.”
Yun Bixue raised her head and looked at Xiajun Yanli. Honesty was written all over her eyes, and her thoughts were clear.
As Xiajun Yanli held a cup of tea, his hand trembled, causing the tea to spill.
Looking at the tea, he seemed to be in a daze. His elegant aura had also become somewhat melancholic. He muttered, “So you’re doing this for your husband and child.”
That woman had also come to beg him because of her lover and child.
He still remembered asking her why she was begging for his help. She had answered that it was because of his righteousness and trustworthiness.
He had no idea why he had believed in her words and obliged to her requests.
Xiajun Yanli raised his head and looked at Yun Bixue. “Why did you still come? You ought to know that I’ll still reject you.”
Yun Bixue shook her head. “No, I believe that one day, Majesty Huang will step into the royal family and political scene again. The capital will be peaceful again.”
Xiajun Yanli smiled gracefully and asked, “Are you sure about this?”
“Yes. I am sure,” Yun Bixue answered resolutely.
“Why do you trust me?”
“Xie Limo trusts you, so I naturally trust you too.”
Xiajun Yanli offered Yun Bixue a cup of tea and said, “Have a sip. You don’t have to be so nervous.”
Yun Bixue was taken aback. She had indeed been jittery. After hearing Xiajun Yanli’s words, she calmed herself down and said, “I wish that you will reconsider my request. To be honest, ever since Limo arrived at the capital, Majesty Kang has been trying to pull him over to his side. However, my husband is righteous and didn’t align himself with Majesty Kang. After the incident at Gui County, he had been transferred elsewhere. It was also during that incident that I almost lost him!”
As Yun Bixue spoke, she began to feel depressed. Every time she talked about that incident, her heart would ache, and she would cherish the times spent with Limo even more.
Xiajun Yanli sat opposite her and could feel the desolate aura Yun Bixue emanated.
He interrupted, “If I’m not wrong, Xie Limo is also involved in the exposé of the smuggling of firearms. Aren’t you afraid that Majesty Kang would try to harm the two of you again?”
Yun Bixue nodded and answered, “Yes, I am. I have a child too, and I can’t afford to lose him. If something happens to him, I won’t be able to live too. Therefore, I can only try my best to protect him. No one wants the worst to happen.”
