C7 The Empress Did Not Follow the Rules of a Wife!
"Emperor, shouldn't you ask Lord Wang first? As an Imperial Guard, why would he appear in the harem at midnight?"
Han Xue was not clear about the rules of the palace, but with Xiao Yin by her side, she could barely understand a little.
"Emperor, Empress Dowager sent a message to me last night, saying that I should wait here tonight. She said that there were spies in the palace, but who would have thought that the moment I arrived, Empress Dowager wanted me to leave. I refused, and Empress Dowager snatched my sword and then..."
Wang Pengfei crawled in front of the Emperor and wailed, as if he had been ravaged.
Han Xue did not speak. Today, she wanted to see if this devilish Emperor was a wise ruler.
"Empress, do you have something to say?"
Helian Yichen looked at Han Xue, his eyes bloodthirsty and cold.
"I believe that the Emperor has eyes."
Han Xue looked at Helian Yichen and sneered.
"I only ask the Empress, do you have an explanation?"
Helian Yichen's eyes narrowed. This Empress had never been what he wanted. Today, such a thing happened, and it just so happened that she was chased out of the palace.
"I was kidnapped here. May I ask the Emperor, after your wife was hurt, did you have such an expression?"
Han Xue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She believed that this should be obvious enough, but he did not even look at her. Naturally, he would not ask why there was blood at the corner of her mouth. He was really cold-blooded.
She was even more dissatisfied with this Emperor. Even if it was a political marriage without feelings, at least in name, she was his wife. When his wife was being violated, she should not have such an attitude.
It seemed that there was still something unknown about this. Although she was the empress, Situ Luoxue, the empress, was not well received in the palace. No wonder he was so slow. It was because he was looking forward to something.
Originally, she thought that Helian Yichen was pitying Situ Luoxue for her young age. Now, it seemed that the truth was not that simple. Or rather, he did not want to marry Situ Luoxue at all. He did not want to make her the empress. There were too many such stories in history.
Although she lived in the modern world, she had seen many ancient dramas and read history. She knew a little about the political marriages in history. If that was the case, then Helian Yichen's current attitude could be understood.
"You are the empress. Look at yourself in your current state, how shameful is that?"
Helian Yichen said with a gloomy face.
At this moment, Helian Yichen's eyes did not have any warmth, let alone the feelings of a husband and wife.
"If the Emperor still has some self-awareness as a husband, I should have clothes to wear."
Luo Xue (from now on, Han Xue would be using the name of the empress, Situ Luoxue) looked at Helian Yichen and said in disdain. She did not know etiquette, nor did she compete with him. She was just too angry. A woman who was a little gentlemanly, even if she was facing a stranger, should take off her outer clothes and 'borrow' it to cover her body, not to mention that this man was her nominal husband.
"Master, don't say anymore. The Emperor will get angry."
Xiao Yin used her small claws to grab Luo Xue's leg, telling her to be quiet and not fight with the Emperor.
"Empress, don't try to argue. As the mother of the country, you actually have a secret meeting in the cold palace in the middle of the night. Should I still protect you?"
Helian Yichen's cold eyes revealed his thoughts of crippling the empress.
"What does the Emperor mean?"
Luo Xue squatted down, picked up Xiao Yin, and after confirming her current identity, she did not want to argue anymore. It was meaningless. She knew very well that in the feudal society, the Emperor could completely cover the sky with one hand. She wanted to see how domineering he could be.
"Empress is unfilial and violates the palace rules. She is not worthy of being the mother of the country."
Helian Yichen spat out a cruel sentence.
"And then?"
Luo Xue asked lazily, as if she did not care about her fate in the future at all. She did not even care about her exposed skin. She was so calm that Helian Yichen was jealous and angry.
A fifteen-year-old girl actually dared to challenge him.
