"Young master, if you want to kill me, then kill me! Please, don't hurt Miss Han! She's innocent!"
Seeing Li Mufeng's murderous aura, Chu Yunmo very gentlemanly hurriedly shielded "Blood Purple Rose" behind her, almost as if she was trying to cover up the truth.
"Innocent? She's a married woman, yet she runs here to fool around with a lowly slave like you. How can she be innocent?"
Li Mufeng clenched his iron fists in anger, his icy eyes glaring at "Xue Ziwei" who was shaking her head incessantly on the bed.
"My love for Miss Han is genuine; please, sir, grant us your blessing. Waaah..."
Chu Yunmo choked back tears, perfectly portraying the role of a mistress.
Li Mufeng was furious and drew his sword to stab him, but "Blood Purple Rose" knocked it away with a pillow.
"He cannot die until he has figured out the deal between Han Ruyi and Chu Yunmo."
"You...you actually hit me for this lowly slave! Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Li Mufeng stared in shock at "Xue Ziwei," only to hear her get out of bed as if no one else was there, and then float away lightly...
"Why is Your Highness so angry? My relationship with Chu Yunmo was nothing more than a fling. Unlike Your Highness, who already has a child and is impure, do you expect me to remain chaste for you?"
"Han Ziwei, you have disappointed me greatly. I am not as filthy as you think. Chen'er is..."
Li Mufeng initially wanted to explain, but upon seeing the unrepentant look in "Xue Ziwei's" eyes, he immediately changed his mind, grabbed her by the throat, and gritted his teeth.
"It's perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but for a woman to be promiscuous is called fickle. Han Ziwei, how dare you! You've cuckolded me and you're still so self-righteous. Do you think I really wouldn't dare to kill you? If it weren't for the fact that you once saved my life..."
"ah……"
A scream rang out from Li Mufeng's mouth as "Blood Purple Rose" put away the silver needles.
"Your Highness, please get to the point. Stop talking about fighting and killing all the time. I am not someone to be trifled with. If necessary, we can fight to the death."
Perhaps realizing he had indeed gone too far, "Blood Purple Rose" added another sentence.
"I can explain what happened today."
"Okay, then tell me, what were you doing just now?"
Li Mufeng's trembling hand pointed to the bed.
"Young Master, it's like this, just now Miss Han..."
Chu Yunmo was about to explain when she was interrupted by Li Mufeng's exasperated voice.
"If you don't want to die, shut up. I'm talking to my woman. Who do you think you are?"
"If I were to say that I came here to discuss serious matters with Chu Yunmo, would Your Highness believe me?"
"Blood Purple Rose" lifted Li Mufeng's chin with her slender fingers, but Li Mufeng slapped her hand away.
"Don't touch me, I find it dirty."
Then he grabbed her by the throat again.
"Do you think I'm a fool? Coming to a brothel to discuss serious matters, and we've ended up talking about sex?"
After Li Mufeng finished speaking, he threw "Blood Purple Rose" hard to the ground, his eyes filled with obvious disgust.
"Miss Han, are you alright...?"
Upon seeing this, Chu Yunmo was about to step forward when Li Mufeng stopped her with his sword.
"If Your Highness does not believe me, there is nothing I can do. That's just how it is. A marriage without mutual trust is just a name without substance. Your Highness should sign the 'Divorce Agreement'!"
"Blood Purple Rose" struggled to get up from the ground, her head throbbing with pain, and it took her a great deal of effort.
She had caught a cold and had taken ibuprofen twice, but her fever kept recurring. That's why she ended up in Chu Yunmo's bed. She wanted to get some tea and take her medicine again, but Li Mufeng caught her red-handed when he arrived.
Just moments before, the two had been in such an ambiguous relationship, with Chu Yunmo lying on top of him. At this moment, "Xue Ziwei" felt a splitting headache again, her vision went black, and she swayed.
"You're threatening me with 'divorce' again? Han Ziwei, don't think I care about a fickle woman like you..."
Before Li Mufeng could finish speaking, a "Divorce Agreement" was slapped directly onto his face, and "Xue Ziwei" walked out of the room as if no one else was there.
Chu Yunmo was speechless.
"Is this still the Han family's eldest daughter I know? She's so domineering."
She used to have a temper, but that was only towards servants. When dealing with the powerful or wealthy, or even herself, she always pretended to be elegant. Could it be that she is now showing her true nature?
"The faster it goes, the more interesting it will be."
Chu Yunmo's eyes were unfathomable, and she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
"Han Ziwei..."
Clutching the "Divorce Agreement," Li Mufeng's anger was still burning. He drew his sword again, intending to kill Chu Yunmo, but then he heard a cry of alarm from outside.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has fainted."
Upon hearing this, Li Mufeng abandoned any thought of settling scores with Chu Yunmo and rushed out of the room.
"Young Master, are you alright? I just saw Prince Longxuan come out of here, he..."
Just then, after Li Mufeng and his group left the "Mandarin Duck Pavilion", Mu Chun returned with a doctor, looked Chu Yunmo up and down, and asked her with concern.
"I'm fine, send the doctor away! We don't need him right now."
After Chu Yunmo finished speaking, she gracefully walked to the piano stand and began to play the piano. The music was melodious, but her mind was filled with everything that had just happened with "Blood Purple Rose".
"It seems that the trip to the 'Purple Cloud Kingdom' was not entirely without interest; it should be quite lively in the future."
When "Blood Purple Rose" woke up, it was already the next morning, and she was met with a pair of small, glassy eyes.
"Mother, you're finally awake."
Han Jingchen spoke in a soft, childlike voice, reaching out to touch the other's forehead.
"Hey! You brat, what trick are you up to now?"
Han Jingchen was so obedient and even called her "Mother," so it was inevitable that "Xue Ziwei" would be a little wary. But you can't entirely blame her, since she had never gotten along with this boy from the beginning!
"Mother, please don't go looking for Chu Yunmo anymore, okay? Father will be unhappy. He had a huge temper last night, smashed a lot of things, and even injured his hand."
Even so, he still took care of you all night. Could you please stop making him angry? Your father is a very good person.
The little guy lowered his head, twisting his hands incessantly, his bright red lips were bitten until they bled, showing how much effort it took him to say those words.
"Did Li Mufeng ask you to tell me this?"
"Blood Purple Rose" raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with displeasure.
"What's wrong with Li Mufeng? How could he tell a child about his visit to a brothel?"
"No. Uncle Zhao Hu told me. Last night, Father came back looking very unwell. After calling a doctor for you, he threw a huge tantrum and wouldn't say anything when asked."
But I was so worried about him; my father had never acted like this before. Later, I pestered Uncle Zhao Hu, and he told me the truth.
The little guy didn't hide anything, but "Blood Purple Rose" felt guilty for her petty thinking.
Where is your father?
Remembering that the little guy mentioned Li Mufeng's injury, "Xue Ziwei" wanted to bandage him up and explain what happened last night.
"My father was summoned to the palace by my grandfather early this morning."
The little guy answered in a soft, sweet voice; he was being especially well-behaved today.
"Didn't you dislike me? Why are you calling me 'Mother' today?"
The "blood crape myrtle" is somewhat difficult to adapt to.
“I do not like you, but my father said that you will be the only mistress of the palace and that I should get along with you.”
After the little guy finished speaking, he jumped a good ten feet away from "Blood Purple Rose" and made a face.
“My aunt has already been kicked out of the palace by my father, so I’m not afraid you’ll spank me.”
After saying that, he ran away in a flash, as if he was really afraid that "Blood Purple Rose" would beat him.
Am I that scary?
"Blood Purple Rose" pointed to herself, then her eyes widened.
"Li Mufeng actually chased Zhou Fengyun away? Why? Because she framed me?"
At this moment, the Imperial Study in the palace was eerily quiet. Eunuch Zhou wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground; the scene of the father and son arguing so fiercely was terrifying.
"Father, are you out of your mind? You'd rather I take Han Ruyi as a concubine than do that, unless I die."
Li Mufeng spoke resolutely, his eyes filled with disbelief.
