Chapter 61: Fellow Travelers from the Ends of the Earth Had Long Since Made Their Move

  "Don't scare me." I patted her shoulder, but also, my identity was hidden extremely well, if not for in-depth investigation, there wouldn't be many people who could discover it.

  "That day on the street, I saw your demeanor and felt that it was not ordinary. Moreover, when you disguised as a man, you were so natural, it's hard for me not to suspect!" Lin Xiangyan playfully winked at me.

  "Yan Jie, tell me what happened when you came over." I said, pulling on her arm.

  "Go ahead, but you have to tell me too."

  "Deal!"

  Lin Xiangyan continued to tell me about her experiences over the past eight years, but there was one strange thing - she never wanted to talk about the emperor. She even mentioned her wet nurse, which showed that she deliberately avoided talking about the emperor. Even when it was unavoidable, she only referred to him as "Jun Qin Zhu" and glossed over everything else.

  However, from her vague words, I still heard a hint. The emperor loved her very much and had promised to marry only her for the rest of his life before their wedding. But since he ascended to the throne, in order to consolidate his position, concubines were taken one after another, resulting in his current large harem team.

  With more wives, there's naturally no time to manage this first wife anymore.

  But there were rumors among the people, she didn't mention a word. I also didn't dare to ask more, could only hide my doubts in my heart and ponder silently.

  She finished speaking, and I began to tell her what had happened to me. After listening, she patted my shoulder with a shocked expression: "Awesome, Xue Ming! Hey, think about it, you and Ying Mo Yu were married by imperial decree, but he dislikes you, and you don't have any backing... this is almost enough to make a melodramatic ancient costume drama!"

  I curled my lip: "What heart-wrenching thing, I didn't have any feelings for him at all." Arrogant and overbearing, with a bad temper, and very **, simply the worst of the worst!

  Lin Xuan Yan smiled at me, and I was startled to the point of getting goosebumps all over my body. I hugged my arms and shook slightly, feeling uncomfortable all over.

  "Don't be so modest, even a fool can see that you have feelings for him. Otherwise, when he wants to sleep with you, you can totally resist, and he can't do anything to you. And also, you don't even know, the ten minutes you were talking to me just now, eight minutes of it was about Yuemo."

  "You silly girl, you can't really like him, can you?" Lin Xuan's expression seemed to be worried as she furrowed her brow and asked.

  "I... " After some careful thought, I realized that I had indeed been a bit off lately. When facing Mo Yu, even my usually quick-thinking brain became dull. Could it be... It was simply unimaginable!

  Lin Xuan looked at my entangled expression and seemed to understand the general idea: "Xue Ming, don't say I didn't warn you. Think about it, why would Ying Mo You's attitude towards you change so much overnight? Is there any conspiracy behind this, have you ever thought about it?"

  One word awakened me from my dream, I quickly calmed down and carefully recalled the scenes of the past few days: "You mean, he did this to me on purpose."

  "It's very likely." Lin Xuan looked at my face, which had suddenly turned cold, and felt a little regretful. Shouldn't she have reminded this silly girl who was infatuated with love?

  I sneered in my heart: "Yan Jie, what you said is right, it's not very likely, but it's beyond doubt. This move of Yongmo You is really good."
