LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 232: A Grudge
Yan Huan gritted her teeth and lowered her head. It was over. Her identity was going to be revealed if she didn't do something about this! But the main point was, how come Tyler knew about this too?! she glanced at the Empress with a shocked gaze and quickly lowered her eyes before anyone could see her expression.
Even if she was caught, she wouldn't reveal the truth no matter what! She knew that if He Qiao wanted to tell the Emperor about it, he would have blurted out the entire truth. Instead, this person said it ambiguously. She would never believe that Tyler knew the truth about her identity that the female lead had tried to hide for so long. She even believed that he must have gotten a wisp of information about how she could enter that place with ease!
When she thought like this, her heart calmed down, and she glanced at the Emperor while making a pitiful expression. It seemed as if she was wronged by this Empress and wanted to complain to the Emperor about this.
Tyler sneered, seeing her expression. If the male lead weren't his senior, he would have doubted whether the Emperor would listen to her. But now, when he knew that Liang Deming had only He Qiao in his heart, he felt at ease and squinted his eyes at the woman standing before him. "Looks like I didn't warn you enough."
Yan Huan wasn't worried about this at all! She truly believed that the Empress didn't know a thing and was just barking! So she proudly lifted her chin and said, "You might be an Empress, but I'm also a concubine! I have loved his majesty for years! Just what do you know about him?!"
The officials in the courtroom gasped.
How could this woman be so shameless?! She even dared to say such words in public right before the Emperor! This kind of drama should be done in the Empress's palace quietly where no third person would here, but this is a public display of family drama!
Even Liang Deming wasn't happy with this conduct. He even doubted his foresight. How could he fall in love with such a petty person?!
So he just rubbed his forehead and said, "That's enough. Yan Huan, go back to your palace and prepare to leave after two days. I'll take you, Empress, and a few guards in the Wang Clan, and that's an imperial order!"
Before anyone could say anything, Liang Deming grabbed Tyler's wrist and dragged the Empress out of the throne room.
After that day, the entire nation found out about how the Emperor declared to the officials that He Qiao was the Empress. Not just that, they even gossiped about the argument between the Empress and Imperial concubine! They were all excited after hearing this news and wanted to see more Imperial drama!
Of course, Tyler had nothing to do with this. He continued to wake up at his usual time in the morning and let the servants in the palace serve him every day. Then he would await the Emperor's arrival. It wasn't that he wasn't angry anymore, but he didn't want to bully his senior anymore. No matter what happened, it was all the system's fault! If the higher-ups hadn't forced his lover into character mode, the latter wouldn't have even thought about getting married to someone else.
So he added another grudge to his list of resentments.
But even so, he couldn't remain calm after arguing with the female lead, another reason behind his anger. So after arguing with Yan Huan that day in the throne room, Tyler's wounds that were healed after the Emperor had coaxed this man for the entire night were poked again. And even after a day had passed, he still felt irritated, especially when he remembered how proud the woman acted.
It was all because she had a relationship with the original Emperor!
He glared at his senior, who had just entered his room.
Liang Deming tilted his head in confusion. What did he do now? After spending the entire night to calm this person, he thought that He Qiao would calm down, but who would have thought that not only this person didn't calm down, but he had somehow gotten angrier!
"You just had a nightmare, didn't you?" The male lead guessed immediately.
Tyler turned his head immediately to show that he wasn't going to talk to this person. In fact, he really did have a stupid nightmare where he saw his senior acting precisely like the original male lead while pushing Tyler into the darkest pit!
And the nightmare occurred because he kept thinking about that vile woman right before sleeping.
The male lead saw this kind of expression on his Empress's face and sighed. He walked closer and caressed the man's head gently. "He Qiao, don't worry about her. If you want, I can even send her to the cold palace."
"Hah!" Tyler sneered in his heart. "Then why did you even marry her in the first place?!"
Liang Deming was speechless. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Clearly, he was incorrectly infatuated, and he even apologized millions of times, but this person was still angry. Did Tyler want him to tear his chest apart and take out his heart?!
He had to think of a new way to coax this person. When he thought of this, an idea popped up in his head as a smile formed on his lips.
"Let's not think about this anymore, okay?" The male lead changed the topic instantly. "Have you made a list of the things we would take with us?"
Having long been associated with this man, Tyler could already tell that this man was trying to change the topic forcefully, but he still pretended to be naïve and nodded.
After that, neither of them talked about the unfortunate marriage thing, even though Tyler felt a little resentful. As long as that woman was still in the Imperial palace, he wouldn't stay calm!
When they finally embarked on the mission, disguising themselves as common folks, Tyler acted as a male concubine of a traveler business person from Wu Country as the Emperor became his husband. But the female lead was thrown with maids.
