The Evil Emperor's Beloved

After teasing each other, Xuanyuan Chen invited Jing Yueli to sit down and prepared to make tea for himself.

Suddenly he paused, "There is not much good tea in the palace, Miss Jing, please don't complain that I am not hospitable enough." Xuanyuan Chen changed from "this king" to "I".

Obviously, in private, he prefers to have a conversation with Jing Yueli without any constraints or status.

"I also want to try the tea from Prince Chen's Mansion and see what's different." Seeing that she didn't mind, Xuanyuan Chen started to make tea.

In fact, drinking tea is secondary. Jing Yueli has more important things to do today.

Two people sat opposite each other in the room, making tea in silence.

Outside the house, however, there was a commotion. On a thick tree outside the study, several men in black were standing. "An Yi, how did Miss Jing get in just now? I didn't see anyone. When I noticed, a fight had already broken out in the study."

An Yi looked mysterious and looked at An San beside him with a sinister look, which meant that it was because you were weak. In fact, only he knew his true feelings, and he was wailing in his heart. He didn't know how Miss Jing got in.

"An San, it seems you need to practice more. You are the laziest one usually." An Er finally found an opportunity to insult him, and he must give him a hard blow.

He was even more nervous than An Yi. He felt that his master would definitely train them to death. There is a saying, "If you can't train them to death, then train them to death."

The topic of the night also began in the house.

Jing Yueli started off by saying something shocking, "Does Prince Chen want that position?"

"Puchi, cough... cough cough..." Xuanyuan Chen was choked by Jing Yueli's directness. However, it was obvious that he understood what Jing Yueli meant.

Jing Yueli didn't care whether he was choked by the tea or not. She came here tonight just to express her stance. She didn't like beating around the bush.

"Do you know what you are saying?" Xuanyuan Chen tidied himself and looked up at the woman in front of him. She was still as calm as ever and continued to drink her tea.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about! I recovered long ago!" Jing Yueli was talking about her previous serious injury, from which she had recovered.

"Miss Jing, what do you mean by saying this today?" Xuanyuan Chen still didn't understand Jing Yueli's intention, so he could only ask tentatively.

"I know that King Chen, you will definitely fight for that position!..." As soon as these words came out, Xuanyuan Chen became alert before Jing Yueli could finish her words.

Jing Yueli pretended not to notice his momentary alertness and continued, "It's obvious..." Jing Yueli spread her hands and said, "Today I'm here to express my stance."

"King Chen, I believe you should understand that I have no ill will towards you." Jing Yueli didn't need to say this, Xuanyuan Chen also knew it. Not to mention that she saved him at first, even if it was unintentional that time, what about the gift of elixir later.

"We in the Jing family have no intention of getting involved in the fight for the throne, but who can really stay out of it? I know that maybe you don't want that position, but for some reason, you have to fight for it."

"But among so many princes, our Jing family only wants to rely on you, Prince Chen."

Xuanyuan Xu's grip on the teacup suddenly tightened. He was really deeply touched by Jing Yueli's words.

He was also surprised that she understood him so well. He didn't want the position of crown prince, or even the throne, but he had to fight for it, as he still had a blood feud to avenge.

What touched me was that I didn't expect Jing Yueli to trust me so much that she was willing to use the entire Jing family to back me up and stand behind me.

In fact, Jing Yueli did not believe in Xuanyuan Chen. She always believed in herself. Currently in Xuanyuan Country, she had the Jing family's foundation, plus the power she had now and her ability to make the Jing family stronger.

"Of course, I also hope that King Chen will live up to my expectations and that I, Jing Yueli, will not let you down and recognize you as my friend."

"Friends" What a strange yet familiar word. Could it be that Xuanyuan Chen could have friends? He was confused for a moment.

Ever since his mother passed away, he has only been practicing and constantly striving to become stronger. He hasn't thought about going out and making friends for a long time.

After thinking for a while...Xuanyuan Chen spoke.

"Miss Jing trusts me so much, I, Xuanyuan Chen, will definitely not let you down!" Xuanyuan Chen also gave Jing Yueli a cautious reply.

It seems that the purpose of today's visit has been almost achieved. Before leaving, Jing Yueli spoke again.

"Oh, by the way. I'm an alchemist, you know. If the palace needs any elixir in the future, you can bring the herbs here, and I can help you make the elixir. Of course, it's not free. I'll prepare an extra set of herbs as a reward."

This was definitely a pleasant surprise for Xuanyuan Chen. "Thank you very much, Miss Jing." Xuanyuan Chen bowed to express his gratitude.

"Can I call you Yueli or Li'er from now on?" Xuanyuan Chen didn't know why he said this.

Jing Yueli glanced at him and said, "Of course." It was just a title, she didn't care.

What she didn't know was that because of this name, someone got so jealous that he had to come up with a different name.

……

Jing Yueshan returned to the academy as expected, and the Second House fell silent again.

Jing Yueli made some time today to visit Uncle Hong. Now, under his leadership, Anyu Tower is basically on track.

The Dark Feather Tower is located at the northernmost end of the Imperial Capital, at the deepest part of an alley not far from the city gate.

In fact, the entire alley was bought by Uncle Hong, which was more conducive to their work. As long as someone entered this alley, they were already under the surveillance of Anyu Tower.

Jing Yueli was still dressed in men's clothes. She avoided the crowd and slipped into the alley.

Until she walked to the end of the alley and knocked on the door of one of the houses.

Jing Yueli didn't have to wait too long. With a creak, a small door on the courtyard gate opened, revealing a man's face.

Jing Yueli's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but secretly complain that Uncle Hong's door was like a cat's eye in the future. "I'm looking for Uncle Hong."

When the person at the door heard that they were looking for Uncle Hong, he looked at the young man in front of him again.

The young man looked gentle and kind, except... he was a little too pretty. I didn't see anything wrong with him. "Are you looking for Uncle Hong? Do you have a token?"

Jing Yueli thought about it, took out a token from the storage ring and handed it to him.

This was forced upon her by Uncle Hong when he came back to report last time.

In Uncle Hong’s words, he was afraid that if Jing Yueli came to Anyu Tower one day, he wouldn’t even be able to get into his own house.

Yes, it really came in handy today.

The man took the token from the small window on the door, lowered his head and looked at it carefully. He was almost frightened to death when he saw it. He immediately said to Jing Yueli, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and notify the people inside right away." After he finished speaking, the small door was closed with a "bang".

Jing Yueli raised her eyebrows. This situation was much better than she had imagined. At least the gatekeeper did not bully others by taking advantage of his power or looking down on others.
