Chapter 183 Just make me angry!
There seemed to be a stiff atmosphere ahead, and He Yanchen felt an indescribable emotion churning in his heart.
He had always known that Yueli did not like him as much as she showed, but it was his status and power that made him charming.
But these are not important. His status, power and wealth are all earned by him and will accompany him for the rest of his life.
But after hearing Yue Li's words just now, He Yanchen felt that she was still sincere.
Power, wealth and friendship are inseparable. As the saying goes, "A poor couple has many worries." Without sufficient living security, no one has the energy to talk about friendship.
Xiao Mingcheng is indeed a leader among ordinary people, or even among the generals in the court, but Yue Li has a strong sense of being worthy. She does not think that she is lucky to be able to marry Xiao Mingcheng. Maybe she even dislikes Xiao Mingcheng in her heart for not being good enough or rich enough.
The half month in the palace was enough for her to clearly realize Xiao Mingcheng's unbearableness.
Most people in this world wear masks, especially in the capital, where everyone is used to pretending. Compared to them, Yueli is so honest that she is cute.
She never concealed her love of money, vanity and greed, and seemed not to be afraid at all that he would not favor her because of these things.
He Yanchen chuckled and felt lucky that he had snatched the person away.
After Yue Li finished speaking, Xiao Mingcheng fell silent.
The two looked at each other in silence. Yue Li finally said, "You should listen to your mother and find a woman who is of equal status to you as your wife."
"Don't come to me again."
She turned around to leave, but almost bumped into He Yanchen's arms when she passed the corner.
Yueli screamed and instinctively took two steps back. When she saw the person coming, her eyes almost popped out of her head in fear.
Why is he here?
Yueli felt a chill on her back, and her feet seemed to be glued to the ground, unable to move.
She quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at He Yanchen's expression. He didn't think that she had come out specifically to meet Xiao Mingcheng in private, did he?
Yue Li caught a glimpse of Fei Lan, who looked like she had lost all hope in life, behind Ji Ming, and only one thought came to her mind.
It’s over!
He Yanchen was moved.
Yueli's fingertips trembled, her teeth bit her lips tightly, and her chest rose and fell chaotically.
But the next moment, He Yanchen held her hand.
He slowly opened her tightly clenched fingers, and slid his fingertips down her palm, inserting them between her fingers and interlocking them with hers. "You've been out for so long, I thought you were lost."
Yueli swallowed hard, "In the palace...how...how could I get lost..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her head seemed to be buried in the ground, and she almost had the word "guilty" carved on her forehead.
The little bit of surprise that still remained in He Yanchen's heart completely disappeared.
He raised his hand and knocked her head: "It's getting late, come back with me."
Before leaving, Xiao Mingcheng's figure emerged from the shadows. He Yanchen glanced at him lightly, then ignored him and left with Yue Li.
Xiao Mingcheng stood there, watching Yueli following the man obediently, his heart aching as if it were being cut by a knife.
But he also knew that Yueli was right.
He couldn't just ignore his mother. Even though he knew it was his mother who gave Yueli the contraceptive drug, as a junior, he didn't know how to seek justice for Yueli.

Linde Hall.
After He Yanchen entered the hall, he let go of the woman's hand and walked to the couch and sat down.
Yueli slowed down her pace, feeling that there was a fire pit in front of her, and there was a force pushing her to jump in.
He Yanchen looked at her timid appearance and stretched out his hand towards her: "Come here."
Yueli bit her lip and closed her eyes, ready to face death. "Your Majesty, how will you punish me?"
"What do I want to punish you for?" The man grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. "I heard everything. Since what you said makes me feel comfortable, I won't punish you today."
Yue Li opened her eyes, a hint of bewilderment and confusion still hidden in them: "Your Majesty, did you hear everything? When did you arrive?"
"I followed you." He Yanchen pinched her fingers and played with them. "I want to hear what you have to say. If you say something I don't like, I'll think of a way to punish you."
Yueli hit him and said, "Your Majesty only knows how to scare me."
She thought back to what she had said, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, as it was all praise for him.
Thinking of this, Yue Li's guilty conscience instantly vanished, and she was filled with confidence: "Your Majesty, did this on purpose? He deliberately made me meet him so that he could eavesdrop on our conversation!"
He Yanchen didn't get angry but laughed instead. Yue Li was the typical person who would push for more and more, and would want to start a dyeing factory as soon as she was given a little color. When she heard that he would not pursue the matter, she started to make a fuss.
"I see you have nothing to do, and you still have the time to talk to him for such a long time."
He sneered, pulled her over and made her lie on his lap, and spanked her on the butt.
Yueli was stunned for a moment.
It doesn't hurt, but...
This is so shameful!
She began to struggle: "Your Majesty!"
"Don't move." He Yanchen held her waist. "If I didn't go with you, would you hide your meeting from me again?"
Yue Lixin said, "Isn't that nonsense? If you can hide it, of course it's better to hide it, otherwise you will be spanked like you are now."
"I dare not hide it, I dare not hide it!" She said weakly, "I will not hide anything from your Majesty, please don't hit me..."
Yue Li struggled to her feet, her face flushed. "It's because Your Majesty is so terrifying when he's angry, I don't dare... If Your Majesty promises that I won't be punished for anything I do in the future, then naturally I won't dare hide anything from Your Majesty."
"That's a good idea." He Yanchen wanted to spank her again, but Yueli was shy and didn't want to let him touch her.
While dodging, Yue Li was smiling but suddenly thought of something and was stunned.
He said that he followed her since she came out and heard everything she said to Xiao Mingcheng. Doesn't that mean he heard that sentence as well?
"What's wrong?" He Yanchen frowned slightly when he saw Yue Li's face turn pale. "Did it really hurt?"
Yueli shook her head, looking at him with tearful eyes: "Then...then Your Majesty, have you heard...that I cannot have children..."
So that's what it is.
He Yanchen knew this since the last time she had her menstrual period and Xiao Yuanpan came to check her pulse.
"So what if I heard it?" Yue Li was a little surprised by his nonchalant look.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, don't you think I'm useless..."
He Yanchen's brows furrowed even tighter. "What are you thinking about all day?"
"You are my concubine. As long as you make me happy, that's all. There are many women in this world who can bear children. Why should I not like them but you?"
He Yanchen pinched her cheek, quite speechless: "Because they are not you, only you can make me happy all the time."
Yueli felt uncomfortable at one moment and happy at another because of his words. She snuggled into his arms, hugged him tightly, and didn't want to let go at all.
"Do you like children?" He Yanchen suddenly asked.
Yue Li shook her head: "I have never given birth, how can I know whether she likes it or not..."
"If you like, I will let the imperial physician help you recuperate. There are many imperial physicians in the palace, and they will always be able to take care of you. If you don't like it, just pretend I never said anything."
Yue Li looked at him eagerly: "There are so many imperial doctors? Then...then can they make it painless for women to give birth? I have seen other people giving birth before, and it was really painful. If only I could give birth directly without going through ten months of pregnancy..."
He Yanchen pinched her mouth that was chattering nonsense:
"Just make me angry!"
