Xuanyuan Mie would go to Tang Guo’s palace every day, taking care of her with the utmost care. Mei Lan, who had initially been filled with fear and anxiety, now handled the situation calmly.
Every time Xuanyuan Mie came, she would dutifully stand guard at the door.
What she thought was, Her Majesty had suffered enough. This man, who looked exactly like the Emperor, surely had an extraordinary identity.
Since things had come to this, and this man treated Her Majesty so well, regardless of the outcome, as long as Her Majesty was happy, that was enough.
“Mei Lan is a clever girl.”
Xuanyuan Mie, holding the woman in his arms, kissed her on the neck and whispered, “My stupid brother is planning to go after my Father-in-law. What does Guo’er want me to do?”
Tang Guo rubbed herself against the man’s embrace and snorted, “Tell Father the truth. Let him know both Xuanyuan Mo’s intentions and our situation, as well as my thoughts.”
“My Father-in-law might go mad.”
“He’ll have to know eventually. Better to prepare him now, so he can gradually get used to the fact that his daughter is an Imperial Concubine, and also an Imperial Concubine who has publicly put a green hat on the Emperor.”
Xuanyuan Mie’s heart burned with desire as he tightened his hold on her. “Guo’er, you’re such a wicked woman.”
“And yet you still like me?”
“I like you, I like you so much. I love you just the way you are.” He sighed. He loved her so much that he didn’t even care about his brother anymore. They were brothers, but he couldn’t understand why his brother was so stupid.
Tang Guo smiled slyly. “Right now, Xuanyuan Mo is probably in An Ningxiang’s palace.”
“Guo’er understands clearly.” Xuanyuan Mie chuckled, gazing into her eyes. “Yes, every time I come here, he sneaks off to An Ningxiang’s palace. Her palace is in a remote location, filled with his people. No one would ever suspect a thing.”
“He’s quite the passionate man.”
Tang Guo raised her eyes to meet Xuanyuan Mie’s deep gaze and suddenly smiled. “Isn’t it humiliating for you to be my secret lover?”
“Not at all.”
“In the future, you will be scolded by many people. Even then, you won’t feel wronged?”
“No, I’m willing.”
She wrapped her arms around his strong waist and snorted, “I’ve come to love you, Ah Mie, even more.”
“That’s wonderful.” Xuanyuan Mie’s heart was filled with joy. He wanted nothing more than to die in her embrace. Even in death, his soul would cling to her.
Meanwhile, inside An Ningxiang’s palace, two people were nestled together. An Ningxiang traced circles on Xuanyuan Mo’s chest with her finger, her heart brimming with satisfaction.
She had finally learned the truth. The person who visited the Imperial Concubine’s palace every night was not the Emperor.
The Imperial Concubine appeared to be favored, but in reality, the Emperor had arranged for a wild man to be with her, making her body far from pure, and she only looked impressive on the surface.
The dissatisfaction she once felt had dissipated after learning the truth.
As long as Ah Mo was with her, secretly loving her, it didn’t matter if she held a high position in the harem or not.
But Ah Mo cared deeply for her, so much so that he wanted to pave the way for her to become Empress. Naturally, she appreciated his thoughtfulness. She had to remain low-key, to live up to Ah Mo’s love.
When the An family grew stronger, it wouldn’t be as difficult for Ah Mo anymore.
“Ah Mo, you’re so wonderful.” An Ningxiang lay in Xuanyuan Mo’s arms, a sweet smile on her face. “I love you so much, Ah Mo. You’re truly amazing.”
He was nothing like the Emperor she had imagined. They always said that the Son of Heaven was heartless, but her Ah Mo was full of affection.
“Soon, the Tang family will fall.” Xuanyuan Mo said calmly. “Once the An family rises, Ningxiang will be my Empress.” He pursed his lips. For some reason, as he said this, his mind drifted to another woman, one who always smiled sweetly at him, her face full of happiness.
He shook his head and sneered. That woman spent all her time with his royal brother. She was no longer a clean woman. Thinking of her made him feel like he was losing his mind.
“Tell your father to prepare. The Tang family will be the stepping stone for the growth of the An family.”
