Chapter 96 I Don’t Want to Serve You Anymore

Because of what happened yesterday, Si Linglong was too embarrassed to ask Helian Yue about the list of people accompanying Dong Shou, so she could only go to Futai.

Fu Tai thought Si Linglong had come specially because of the emperor's hasty departure with a gloomy face yesterday, but Si Linglong actually asked about the list of people accompanying the winter hunt.

Fu Tai thought for a moment, as if he understood, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Lang. I know that you and Lady Lian are not on good terms, so Lady Lian is not on the entourage list this time."

Si Linglong: ...

I can't be assured about this.

[Sure enough, I have to pick it up again, tsk.]

Si Linglong was whispering with Fu Tai outside the palace, but she didn't know that her thoughts had already reached the ears of Helian Yue who was reviewing memorials in the palace.

I thought she came here because of what happened yesterday.

The result... was for Bai Qianqian again!

How much did she wish she would be bewitched by Bai Qianqian and then killed?

Although he knew Si Linglong didn't mean that, Helian Yue still couldn't help feeling unhappy. He put down the red brush and headed straight outside, pretending to be dignified and asking in a deep voice, "Who's outside?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Tai hurriedly signaled Si Linglong silently, but Si Linglong just shook her head and waved her hands, "I can't do it, you are too old."

The two of them pushed each other silently for a while, but in the end Si Linglong was pushed in.

Standing at the door, looking at Helian Yue sitting at the desk, Si Linglong felt a little embarrassed.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

[We are talking from such a long distance, but you can still hear what we are saying. Are your ears really that sharp? ]

Helian Yue snorted coldly, thinking that his ears were very sharp, and he was forced to automatically capture her heartbeats every day.

"What's the matter with you, my dear?"

Si Linglong took a few steps forward and said something cliché, "Can't you come to see the emperor if you have nothing to do?"

[I really have something to do right now, something to do with an ungrateful person.]

Helian Yue glanced at her and said nothing.

Si Linglong now knew that Helian Yue "loved" her deeply, and she was not as afraid of him as she was at the beginning. When he didn't say anything, she went to his side and raised her hand to pat his shoulder diligently.

"Your Majesty, are you tired?"

Helian Yue snorted softly and still ignored him.

Si Linglong punched his shoulders from one end to the other, her fists felt soft and itchy, but she herself was completely unaware and asked casually,

"Your Majesty, I heard that the list of names for the winter hunt has been released. Are Concubine Quan and Concubine Lian going?"

[Bai Qianqian, that's her mission, Concubine Quan. She heard that Concubine Quan is very good at riding and shooting, and she wants to see it! ]

The more Helian listened to her exposed heartbeats, the colder he snorted in his heart.

My riding and shooting skills are also very good, but you don’t seem to be expecting me to do so.

She pretended to be calm and said, "The list is out. Concubine Quan will go, of course. As for Concubine Lian..."

Helian Yue glanced at her and said deliberately, "I know that my beloved concubine and Concubine Lian are not on good terms, so I won't bring her along this time. Do you feel happy about this, my beloved concubine?"

What he said is exactly the same as what Fu Tai said.

Si Linglong felt a headache after hearing this, and hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Well, I and Concubine Lian are just not on good terms, but Your Majesty shouldn't treat Concubine Lian too harshly because of me, or else people will say that Your Majesty favors me too much."

Helian Yue just found her previous sentence funny.

This concubine in the harem wanted to say to others that they were as close as sisters, but she even dared to say in front of him that she and Concubine Lian were not on good terms.

Didn't I say this kind of thing secretly before? Now I dare to say it out loud.

Does this mean that she is increasingly considering herself less of an outsider?

As Helian Yue thought about this, he felt inexplicably happier and decided to just tell her the truth.

"If I told you that Concubine Lian was also involved in harming you during the last ritual, would you still want to plead for her?"

Helian Yue's voice came so suddenly that Si Linglong's fists that had been pounding in the air suddenly froze in mid-air. She looked at Helian Yue with disbelief in her eyes.

【Na! Ni! 】

Si Linglong really felt that the system was playing tricks on her.

[I tried my best to cover for her, but Bai Qianqian was always setting traps for me behind my back!

Even so, she still wants me to continue helping her!!

No way! 】

Si Linglong thought about it and slowly put on a fake smile, "I've thought about it and it's good for Concubine Lian to stay in the palace. Let's do this."

As he spoke, he did not forget to raise his fist towards Helian Yue, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Bai Qianqian is so capable, let her figure it out herself.

【I won’t serve you anymore! 】

Helian Yue couldn't help choking when he heard her heartbeat and glared at her.

Whose mother are you?!
