Such a scorching look, even Jun Yeyan felt it difficult to ignore.
As his eyebrows were slightly frowned, Jun Yeyan looked up and met a passionate gaze which made his eyebrows even more frowned.
Except for Bai Aoxue, any woman looking at him like this… would provoke his intention of killing!
In memory, there was such a woman who provoked Xue at Ye Zhaojue’s celebration party. She looked at him so brazenly, as if she was unconscious of that.
Thinking of this, Jun Yeyan slightly raised the corners of his lips. And the woman was even more excited when she saw it, anxious to cling on to Jun Yeyan now.
Her thin lips were slightly opened, showing some kind of enchantment.
The woman looked at Jun Yeyan with eyes full of hope, as if enchanted.
“Oh… I didn’t expect that the woman chosen by Duke Deyuan is even worse than the prostitute in a brothel. How cheeky are you to look at me so erotically!”
He said coldly and scornfully and looked straight at the woman, whose delicate face blanching with fear instantly.
Everyone in the imperial study did not expect that Jun Yeyan would humiliate Duke Deyuan with such harsh words.
And the woman, at this moment, was tearful in her eyes as if she was deeply broken-hearted, making people feel pity for her.
Jun Yeyan didn’t even glance at her. He looked directly at Duke Deyuan, seemingly waiting for an explanation.
Duke Deyuan swallowed his anger reluctantly, slightly bent and said, “Yes, Your Majesty. This woman is my foster daughter. She was in the Family Su which has been in good relationship with me. Since she has good appearance and upbringing, I took her here brusquely.”
Upon hearing what Duke Deyuan said, Jun Yeyan asked slightly, “Family Su? Which one?”
When the woman heard it, her eyes turned sparkling and stopped shedding tears, waiting for Duke Deyuan to speak.
“Your Majesty, allow me to inform. The Family Su has gradually monopolized the capital’s business in the past two years and its prospects are very good,” said Duke Deyuan, looking at Jun Yeyan cunningly.
He thought it must be hopeful since Jun Yeyan asked so.
But Jun Yeyan just glanced at them as if looking at a stupid clown.
“If my memory is correct, it seems that there is a woman in the Family Su who married the former Prime Minister?” Jun Yeyan bent his fingers, slightly saying.
Hearing that, Duke Deyuan and others were frightened, hoping Jun Yeyan would not continue his words. So they said nervously, “Yes, Your Majesty. That is the Family Su.”
When Jun Yeyan heard it, he laughed in a low voice, “It seems that it is exactly the infamous Family Su. No wonder the woman is so vulgar. Since her aunt is so shameless to have an affair with a servant, how can she be innocent as her niece!”
No one expected that Jun Yeyan would be so rude and every word he said was really annoying.
Hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, the crying woman stopped shedding tears but goggled at Jun Yeyan as if she saw a monster.
This woman was exactly Su Mengrou who once sent Liushuang to assassinate Bai Aoxue!
Now Su Mengrou didn’t care about her etiquette at all. She hurriedly walked two steps forward to look at Jun Yeyan and explained, “Your Majesty, the fact is that I have already broken off with that unscrupulous woman! Now, even her daughter has disappeared out of shame!”
After Su Mengrou finished her words, she looked at Jun Yeyan expectantly, hoping that Jun Yeyan could take back what he said.
But Jun Yeyan didn’t even glance at her. A guard beside Jun Yeyan rebuked her cruelly, “You are a lowly woman. How dare you speak before the Emperor’s order?”
When Su Mengrou heard it, she looked angrily at Ying Yi and said, “You!”
“Mengrou, shut up! Kneel down!” Duke Deyuan hurriedly stopped her.
Reminded by Duke Deyuan, Su Mengrou’s body trembled a bit and then she reacted quickly, kneeling and saying, “Please forgive me, Your Majesty! I am so stupid to infuriate you, Your Majesty!”
She knew that she must endure at this moment. Only by doing so could she have an equivalent repay in the future!
Now the snobbish guard rebuked her, but one day she would kill him and cut his head down, wiping out the humiliation she suffered today!
Thinking about that, even kneeling or groveling to apologize seemed to be not so embarrassing. As long as she could get the status, such loss was negligible.
With that in mind, Su Mengrou’s heart calmed a lot, just waiting for Jun Yeyan to let her up.
But the imperial study was quiet and no one dared to speak or breathe loudly.
After a long time, Jun Yeyan said indifferently, “I am afraid that you have forgotten something. I think that even if I didn’t remind you, you can always keep in mind. But now, it seems that I am too confident.”
After that, Jun Yeyan reached out and pulled the hair in the corner of his eye aside. A pair of cold and icy eyes appeared.
No sooner did Duke Deyuan and others look up than they met the terribly narrow eyes, making them shake with fear!
“I… I… I don’t know what you mean. I hope you could remind us some,” said Duke Deyuan in a trembling voice, lack of the courage to look at Jun Yeyan.
In this world, there was such a person that even if he didn’t say a word, just a look could make people breathless or trembling for a long time.
Jun Yeyan was exactly such a person. And the impression he left on others was an imposing manner.
But such an imposing manner was not embedded in everyone….
“Seemingly, you have forgotten something. How could it be possible that I don’t have a woman in my imperial harem? The woman whom I married magnificently is the only wife of me! How do I need other plain women to make me sick? How dare you forget the empress of the Chengxi Dynasty!” Jun Yeyan suddenly straightened up his back, the pitch-black hair scattered on his shoulders. There was no enchantment but freezing coldness!
When Duke Deyuan and other courtiers heard it, they were absent-minded for a while then gradually recalled the woman in a dress which was red as burning fire, and her peerlessly beautiful face was freezingly cold.
“But, Your Majesty, hadn’t Miss Bai…” As soon as Duke Deyuan spoke, Jun Yeyan’s cold eyes terrified him to stop.
“Miss Bai? Duke Deyuan must be too old to call the empress appropriately. How dare you call her by her family name? You’d better remember what I have said today. Bai Aoxue is my only wife in this life and I only belong to her! If you want to take these plain women to infuriate me, next time you will not be forgiven easily! I will let you know what is coming with no return!” Jun Yeyan looked at them indifferently, without a trace of emotion in his eyes except for majesty and coldness.
They didn’t even dare to refute.
Hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, Duke Deyuan and other courtiers were extremely enraged but they knew further talk would do them no good.
“We have remembered it carefully and we will not do it again!” Duke Deyuan and other courtiers knelt and said.
Jun Yeyan gently said, “Get out.”
They saluted and then respectfully retreated.
Watching them leave away, Jun Yeyan said indifferently, “Get the evidence ready. Tomorrow, I will send the group of people who corrupted in our country to hell!”
Hearing that, Ying Yi beside him was refreshed immediately and said, “I understand! Master, you can be at ease!”
And here, Su Mengrou went out along with Duke Deyuan and other courtiers, angrily shouting, “Father, should we just give it up?”
Her beautiful eyes filled with unwillingness at the moment.
Hearing Su Mengrou’s words, Duke Deyuan sighed slightly and said, “Today you have known his attitude. I don’t expect that he should have such an imposing manner. If it were not for Bai Aoxue’s death, I would never know he was so affectionate!”
“Then what will we do now?” A courtier asked disappointedly.
Duke Deyuan said with a slight frown, “Take it easy. We should go out of the palace to communicate with the prominent ministers now. And tomorrow morning we will admonish the Emperor together for marrying a new Empress. Then, he will have no choice but to defer to us!”
Other courtiers agreed with that.
But Su Mengrou said with a frown, “Father, I have a great idea!”
And when Duke Deyuan heard it, he gave a slight glance at Su Mengrou and said, “What great idea? Say it.”
But he sniffed at Su Mengrou in his heart. If she didn’t have such a good-looking appearance, he, a grand minister in the imperial court, would never consult with a female.
“Father, leave me in the palace. I will approach Jun Yeyan tonight to seduce him. After he sexually offends me, you can ask Jun Yeyan to take responsibility for me tomorrow,” Su Mengrou said to Duke Deyuan with hope in her eyes.
And when Duke Deyuan heard Su Mengrou’s words, he reproached her aloud, “You are kidding! I think it’s because you want to get close to Jun Yeyan!”
Su Mengrou shuddered at the roar of Duke Deyuan.
When Su Mengrou planned to give up, a courtier said, “It is really a good idea. After all, Miss Su is your foster daughter, and she just needs to insist that she was kidnapped here last night. When she wakes up, the thing has settled. Then, even if Jun Yeyan is unwilling, he couldn’t regret anymore.
Seeing that other courtiers also agreed, Duke Deyuan cannot help but think over it. Su Mengrou took the opportunity and anxiously said, “Father, I have some aphrodisiac medicine and I’m sure I will succeed. Father, you must believe me!”
Hearing Su Mengrou’s words, Duke Deyuan couldn’t help but look up at Su Mengrou at a glance. He did not expect that Su Mengrou was so shameless to get what she wanted.
As Jun Yeyan said, there was no innocent person in the Family Su!
“Being the case, just do it. You leave early tomorrow morning and I will meet you at the Throne Hall,” Duke Deyuan said slightly after pondering for a moment.
Su Mengrou was excited when she heard what Duke Deyuan said, “Father, I will not let you down!”
Duke Deyuan bribed the little eunuch who sent them out of the palace. After that, the little eunuch took Su Mengrou to change into the eunuch clothes and went to the Moyu Hall after several turns.
Here, Jun Yeyan had a discussion with Zhao then went to see Ye Zhaojue and headed towards the Moyu Hall.
In these days, he never stopped missing Bai Aoxue in his mind. When he went back to the Moyu Hall and saw the figure in red, he was a little stunned.
“Xue….” He murmured, with his heart full of the sentiment of missing.
