After Xue Pinggui left for the morning court, Siyang dressed herself neatly and returned to her own Yukun Palace.
After returning to her sleeping quarters and dismissing the palace servants, Cui'er squatted beside Siyang. Her expression was troubled as she stammered, "Miss, last night you...?"
Cui'er knew a little about what happened last night because she was the one who helped to send a message to Siyang and the Runan Of Gojoseon.
In the palace, there were very few people that Siyang could trust. Naturally, Cui'er had to handle the important matters last night.
Cui'er had always known that Miss had an idea, but she didn't know what she wanted to do until last night. Originally, Cui'er had guessed that Miss was going to compete with Princess Tuozan to secure the position of Empress.
However, the incident with the Runan Of Gojoseon made her realize that she had been too short-sighted.
Siyang glanced at Cui'er's face and knew what she wanted to say, "You know our current situation. Although I used some tricks to make Xue Pinggui wary of Tuozan, it was far from enough."
Looking at the bronze mirror in front of her, Siyang tilted her head. Her slender neck had a bit of ambiguous and bright red, showing the passion of last night.
Cui'er saw this and lowered her head with a red face. Then she cursed the Runan Of Gojoseon in her heart.
"Tuozan has a son and a daughter. This is her guarantee. If Xue Pinggui didn't have a grudge against her, her son would have been crowned the Crown Prince long ago."
"But, but does it have to be the Runan Of Gojoseon?" Cui'er still didn't understand.
After closing her lapel, Siyang turned around. She raised her eyebrows and thought for a while before saying, "He is the most suitable candidate. First of all, he has the ability and ambition. Moreover, he is shrewd. I think that his business in Runan for so many years is not as simple as it seems. If something goes wrong, Xue Pinggui will suffer a great loss at his hands. Isn't it just right for us to cooperate with him now?"
"Miss, do you really want His Majesty to..." Cui'er still left some leeway, but the movement of her fingers betrayed her thoughts.
Siyang was also generous. She nodded and said straightforwardly, "I suffered so much for him. He didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife and ruthlessly took my life. How can I let him live well?"
"He owes me too much and he doesn't want to pay me back! Since he cares so much about the throne above millions of people, then let's use it. "
Cui'er didn't have any sympathy for Xue Pinggui. She was only worried about her Miss. Now that she completely understood her Miss's thoughts, other than being surprised, she was actually more excited.
"Miss is cooperating with the Runan Of Gojoseon. After what happened last night, if you are pregnant with his child, even if there are unforeseen events in the future, he will definitely protect you." Cui'er thought so.
Looking at her sparkling eyes, Siyang didn't break her idea. She gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, and the smile on her lips deepened.
How could she put her fate in the hands of a man? Even if she already had a relationship with him, it was still not a guarantee. Everything should still be in her own hands.
After the news of Si Yang spending the night in the Sweet Dew Hall spread out, a row of porcelain was smashed in the Western Palace that very day. Si Yang could have predicted how furious Tortoise Zan would be. The only unexpected thing was that she actually held back and didn't run out to cause trouble. This was rare.
"Do you think she has learned to be patient? I'm afraid this Princess of Western Liang has the same plan as the Empress."
In the inner hall of Jade Earth Palace, the palace servants had all retreated. Even Cui'er was waiting outside.
Siyang sat on the couch and glanced carelessly at the man in front of her. She snorted, "I would find it strange if she didn't do anything."
Tuozan was a princess of Xiliang. She was much more arrogant than others. She wasn't as infatuated and stubborn as Wang Baochuan. It was true that she liked Xue Pinggui, but this kind of love didn't mean that she would give everything to him. It could be seen from how Xue Pinggui had been the ruler of Xiliang for more than a decade, but she didn't give him any military power.
"A mother is strong. Tuozan still has a son and a daughter. Of course she has to consider more." Siyang was a bit drowsy as she propped up her head.
Li Yi stood in front of the couch. Seeing that she said it casually, he found it funny. He lifted his clothes and sat down beside her. His hand slowly rested on her lower abdomen: "Shouldn't the Empress also consider it?"
Siyang slapped his hand away and sat up. She looked at him with a faint smile. "Wangye has become more and more daring recently. He came to Jade Earth Palace so openly. Aren't you afraid that all your plans will go down the drain if His Majesty finds out?"
"If I die under a peony, I will be a romantic ghost." Li Yi didn't look at his hand that was red from the slap. Instead, he leaned closer and breathed softly on her neck. "Moreover, His Majesty doesn't have the mood to come here now. I heard that the Empress has added more beauties to His Majesty's harem recently."
"Isn't that what I should do?" Siyang tried hard to ignore the numbness and itchiness on her neck. She leaned inwards and said lazily, "As the master of the harem and the mother of the country, of course I have to consider His Majesty's country. It is my duty to fill the harem and let the royal bloodline flourish."
Siyang had no interest in Xue Pinggui. She wouldn't hesitate to add more women to his harem. Anyway, he might not be able to give birth to them. Instead, it was good that she could disgust Tuozan more.
"Your Majesty is right. Since that is the case, shouldn't I think more about it?" As he spoke, his big hand moved up to her breasts.
This time, Si Yang didn't dodge. She looked at him with sparkling eyes, her fingertips fiddling with his chest. She smiled and said, "This consort heard that Wang Ye didn't have a Wangfei nor a concubine in his residence. The rumors on the streets say that Wang Ye actually …" Her eyes drifted downwards and downwards, where she shouldn't be looking.
Li Yi paused and looked down. In an instant, his face darkened. His hand rubbed Siyang's smooth and delicate face. He said fiercely, "Do you want me to verify for you whether this rumor is true or false?"
Siyang coughed softly and looked away. She didn't say anything.
However, Li Yi didn't want to. It was a matter of a man's dignity. He didn't want to let it go.
Siyang frowned. She pressed down his hand and said helplessly, "That's enough."
"I am thinking for you in the future."
Si Yang was angered by his fallacious reasoning. She glared at him with anger in her eyes: "There's no need to try. This consort is clear about the prince's ability." Seeing that he still didn't want to stop, she grabbed his hand and placed it on her abdomen.
"Wangye, didn't you want me to think for you? I have thought about it."
Huh?!
Li Yi didn't react for a moment. His expression didn't change, but his eyes suddenly lost focus. When he came back to his senses, he stared at Siyang's belly in disbelief.
