Chapter 134 Rodent Alliance
When she was feeling sad, she felt a pain on her forehead. Yue Li cried out softly, covering her head and looking at the man in front of her helplessly.
He Yanchen sneered and said, "Do you think he's the matchmaker? How could I not know about the fate of our next life? How could such outrageous words scare you?"
Yueli's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still murmured in dissatisfaction, "Why can't I believe it?"
She now believes in these strange and bizarre stories about ghosts and gods.
He Yanchen stopped arguing with her and called out to Ji Ming to bring the abbot over.
Yueli didn't expect that the abbot had not left the palace yet. She waited for a while and saw him again.
The abbot remained calm and was not surprised to see He Yanchen wake up.
"I greet your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine."
He Yanchen asked coldly, "Tell me again what you said to the Imperial Concubine. I also want to hear how you fooled her."
The abbot smiled awkwardly, "Please forgive me, Imperial Noble Consort. There is considerable resentment within the court about the Imperial Noble Consort doting solely on the harem. I am only taking this opportunity to seek an audience with the Imperial Noble Consort at the request of the court officials."
"I originally wanted to persuade the Queen to leave His Majesty, but seeing how deeply she cared for His Majesty and how deeply she loved him, I couldn't bring myself to say anything more. I could only come up with an excuse to cover up the lie."
Yue Li: "..."
She's gullible, isn't she?
Yue Li said nothing and looked at He Yanchen sadly.
He Yanchen waved his hand casually, signaling the abbot to leave.
The abbot breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty doesn't want to hear the truth, but everyone has their own destiny. Whether you believe it or not, the fate of the next life has been cut off."
"Your Majesty is fooling me again. Did you coerce or bribe him into changing his words?"
He Yanchen chuckled: "Don't you believe everything he says? Why don't you believe it now? Why did I force him to change his words?"
"I'm not stupid. His reasons are too ridiculous." Yueli said sullenly, "Forget it. I shouldn't continue to be sad. Your Majesty and I are destined to be together only in this life. I must stick with Your Majesty and not waste a single moment."
After she finished speaking, she snuggled into the man's arms, her cheek resting against his neck and shoulder, "Your Majesty, I love you so much. Even if I can't see you in the next life, you must be well in a place where I can't see you."
He Yanchen lowered his eyes and glanced at her: "As long as this world is still mine, where can you hide?"
He paused as he spoke, and suddenly grabbed Yue Li's hand. The soft sleeve slid down her arm, revealing her fair and tender skin. He Yanchen lowered his head and bit it.
"Ah..." Yueli cried out in pain, "What are you doing?"
She frowned and glared at him angrily when she saw teeth marks on her smooth arm.
He Yanchen asked, "Jiaojiao, have you ever heard of the rodent alliance?"
"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to find you in my next life? With this mark, I will find you no matter where you are."
"I don't believe in destiny. I only know that if I want something, I have to fight for it myself. If I had relied on my status and not deliberately appeared in front of you in Jiangning, would we not have been destined to be together in this life?"
Yueli blinked and listened to him again: "But the first time I saw you, I felt that you should be mine, so even if you didn't belong to me at that time, I would find a way to make you belong to me."
"So there's no such thing as fate in this world. It's just whether you want it or not, whether you fight for it or not."
It took Yue Li a while to digest his words. She looked at the mark left on her arm, lowered her head and bit He Yanchen's arm.
His flesh was too tight, and Yueli's teeth hurt from biting it. It took a lot of effort to leave a mark that was bleeding.
She said, "Then I will also leave a mark for Your Majesty. Your Majesty must find me in your next life."
Yue Li felt much more at ease. Compared to the abbot, she certainly trusted He Yanchen more.
He said he would find her and he would find her.

He Yanchen only slept for one night and felt better the next day.
When he woke up, he saw Yueli lying on his chest looking at him. The man raised his hand and pinched her face: "When did you wake up?"
"It's been a quarter of an hour." Yue Li glanced at the hourglass. "I was afraid Your Majesty would have a fever again and wouldn't wake up, so I didn't dare sleep all night."
He Yanchen took medicine before going to bed last night and slept very soundly. Yueli was afraid that he would get sick again, so she kept an eye on him all night.
Looking at the faint dark circles under the woman's eyes, He Yanchen rubbed her head distressedly: "I'm fine, you should sleep for a while. Your health is much worse than mine. If you are sick, you won't be able to recover for ten days or half a month."
"Didn't you say you would stick by my side every moment? How can you stick by me if you're sick?"
Yue Li thought this made sense and quickly closed her eyes: "Then I will sleep. Your Majesty, please don't let them wake me up. I don't want to get sick."
He Yanchen was touched by her cuteness and kneaded her small earlobe: "Okay, I'll call you when I come back from court."
Yue Li subconsciously wanted to open her eyes when she heard this, but just as her eyelashes trembled, she heard the man commandingly say, "Don't open your eyes. Go to sleep."
"I understand..." Yueli hummed twice with her eyes closed, "I will go to sleep now."
She was worried all night, but when she saw He Yanchen wake up normally, Yue Li's tense nerves relaxed at once. When the man came out of the shower, she saw her falling asleep with her arms around the pillow.
She slept until noon. When Yueli woke up, He Yanchen had not returned yet. However, Lianqiao came in to report:
"Your Majesty, Jiang Ronghua is outside asking to see you."
"Why is she here again?" Yue Li stretched comfortably. It had been more than a month since she returned to the palace. Jiang Ronghua had come twice before and was sent away both times. It was not until Shen died of illness that Jiang Ronghua stopped coming.
Lian Qiao helped her up: "Jiang Ronghua has always been good friends with Shen. She has been asking to see the queen because she wants to know what happened to Shen in the palace."
Yueli was a little annoyed with her, but after thinking it over, she let her in. Shen's crime had included scheming Jiang Ronghua to rescue her again, so she decided to be a good person for once and let Jiang Ronghua see the truth.
Jiang Ronghua was stunned for a moment when he heard the summons, and hurried into the inner hall.
Yueli leaned on the soft couch. Jiang Ronghua bowed and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, I don't want to disturb you. I just want to know what happened in the hot spring palace."
"Don't you just want to know what happened?" Yue Li felt that this person was really stubborn, so she said straight to the point, "I'll tell you the truth, she wanted to plot against me, so she was deposed by His Majesty."
"When you first entered the palace, you were almost bitten by a snake in the imperial garden, and then Shen saved you, so you obeyed Shen's orders."
Jiang Ronghua was stunned: "How did the Queen know?"
Yue Li snorted coldly, "Why don't you think about it? There are concubines in the Imperial Garden every day. No matter how careless the palace servants are, it's impossible for a snake to get there. Shen is crying thief, deliberately releasing the snake to scare you and then rescuing you, just to make you feel grateful to her."
Speaking of which, Shen used this trick many times to win people's hearts. Fortunately, He Yanchen exposed her, otherwise he would have been fooled by her.
Jiang Ronghua couldn't believe it, and his tone couldn't help but become more aggressive: "How is it possible? How did the queen know all this?"
"Who gave you the courage to question the Imperial Concubine?"
A man's cold voice suddenly sounded outside the hall. He Yanchen strode into the hall with a gloomy look between his brows.
"I deposed the Shen family by decree. If Jiang Ronghua has questions, why doesn't he come to me?"
