Just when Emperor Hexu was about to agree to Liu Yueru's request, Xie Jingrui suddenly said, "If you think this request is too simple, you can grant her a divorce letter from Song Nanzhi and give her other rewards, such as a fiefdom, a shop, or something to support her future life."

Emperor Hexu was slightly stunned. How did Xie Jingrui become so considerate of others?

Xie Jingrui's eyes fell on Song Nanzhi and Xie Anlan, and he continued calmly, "The affair between the imperial sister and Song Nanzhi has been exposed. It will soon spread throughout Kyoto. Since the imperial sister and he are both in love, why don't you help them? This is also a way to protect the imperial sister. Miss Liu and Song Nanzhi will divorce, and the imperial sister can go to the Marquis' Mansion to be the mistress."

The emperor looked at the two people on the ground with dissatisfaction. He learned from his servants that the ultimate mastermind behind this incident was Xie Anlan.

He was very disappointed to see his daughter, whom he once loved and spoiled, doing such a shameful thing.

However, Emperor Hexu loved his children after all, and he was very dissatisfied when he saw Song Nanzhi's irresponsible look.

From the time he came here until now, Song Nanzhi hadn't said a word to defend Xie Anlan. Instead, he shrank to one side in fear of death, fearing that he would be dragged out and beheaded.

Emperor Hexu looked at the Queen who was shaking with anger and asked, "What do you think of Rui'er's proposal?"

The Queen looked at Xie Anlan lying on the ground with a look of disappointment, and finally sighed: "It has come to this, there is no other way."

"You go back first. I will issue an edict in two days." Emperor Hexu said to Liu Yueru in a calm voice.

Liu Yueru bowed to Emperor Hexu with a pale face.

Then left this place.

On the way back, Liu Yueru was in mixed mood, as she could not guess Emperor Hexu's intentions.

Ye Tao supported Liu Yueru and saw that she looked dazed. She thought that Liu Yueru was sad about having just caught Song Nanzhi and Princess An Lan.

She whispered to comfort him: "Madam, the prince has treated you like that again and again, what else can you not let go of him?"

Liu Yueru felt a burning gaze falling on them from behind. Her eyes turned slightly cold, and she whispered to Ye Tao, "Let's leave here quickly. Let's go back and talk."

Ye Tao wanted to look behind her, but Liu Yueru held her arm and signaled with her eyes that she should not look back.

The master and servant quickened their pace.

However, the two of them clearly felt that the person behind them could keep up with them no matter how fast they walked, and could also maintain a certain distance.

Liu Yueru stopped and looked back suddenly.

Then I saw Xie Jingrui following them slowly.

Liu Yueru let out a long sigh and bowed to Xie Jingrui.

Then, he looked at him puzzledly and asked, "I wonder if the prince is following us for something else?"

Xie Jingrui pursed his lips tightly and glanced towards the darkness on the side.

Liu Yueru looked in the direction Xie Jingrui was looking. The trees in the garden swayed slightly, but soon calmed down.

Liu Yueru's face turned pale and she was still frightened!

Xie Jingrui saw Liu Yueru's worry, and he said to her in a neutral tone: "I have something to ask Miss Liu about Hua'er, is it convenient for you to come with me?"

Liu Yueru glanced at the spot again, then nodded slightly to Xie Jingrui: "Let's go."

Xie Jingrui escorted Liu Yueru back to Yuexinju.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Xie Jingrui tactfully reminded her, "Have a good rest."

"Thank you." Liu Yueru said to him sincerely.

Xie Jingrui looked at her with burning eyes. Thinking of everything that happened in the palace, he said in a low voice, "Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. It is too late to regret now. I will find a way to get my father to pass down the imperial decree of divorce as soon as possible. Miss Liu, you should also plan well for your future."

Thinking of the person who followed Liu Yueru and the others in the palace today, Xie Jingrui's eyes became a little colder.

When looking at Liu Yueru, there was a hint of worry: "Don't go out for the time being."

Liu Yuru nodded in agreement one by one, but only looked at Xie Jingrui.

With a firm look in his eyes, he said word by word: "I have never regretted my decision today. I am so grateful for what happened today that I cannot express it in words. I will repay you double in the future."

Xie Jingrui was about to leave, but stopped when he heard Liu Yueru's words.

The aura around him suddenly became heavier. He turned around, his sharp eyes filled with depression and displeasure.

"Miss Liu, I have saved you time and again. How do you want to repay me? I have everything I need. If I want something from you, I'm afraid even if I sell you off, it won't be enough to pay me back."

After Xie Jingrui finished speaking, without waiting for Liu Yueru to speak, he strode straight out of the yard.

Liu Yueru stared at Xie Jingrui's straight and broad back, her expression stunned.

She had never seen Xie Jingrui so angry with her.

His face was full of confusion.

Mother Yan, who had just heard the noise and came out of the room, happened to see it.

Mother Yan shook her head helplessly and sighed to Liu Yueru: "Madam, do you really not understand the prince's intentions?"

Liu Yueru looked back in confusion: "Is there anything wrong with what I said just now?"

Meeting someone like their wife, Ye Tao suddenly felt sorry for Xie Jingrui.

He said earnestly, "Madam, what the prince meant is that he has everything he needs and doesn't need you to pay him back, and he doesn't want to see you being so polite."

"Yes, madam, the prince was unhappy just now because you are always so polite to him." Mother Yan also responded.

But neither of them said it clearly. Some things still need them to figure out on their own.

Liu Yueru pursed her lips and said nothing. She understood Xie Jingrui's intentions.

However, their identities were too embarrassing, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

Hua Ge'er wanted to be with him, but what about Yan Ge'er? When he didn't know that Song Nanzhi was not his biological father, he lived cautiously in the Marquis' Mansion, wasn't it just to make Song Nanzhi pay more attention to him?

He really longs for fatherly love.

I used to think Hua Ge'er was a quiet child.

In comparison, Yan Ge'er is the same.

The test that Yan Ge'er made on him that day revealed his little thoughts.

"Mother." Yan Ge'er suddenly appeared at the door.

Liu Yueru suddenly raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Yan Ge'er.

Then I saw him running towards me, looking a little flustered and panting.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yueru frowned and subconsciously opened her arms.

Yan Ge'er suddenly rushed into Liu Yueru's arms, hugged Liu Yueru tightly with his little hands, and murmured, "Mother."

"Oh!" Liu Yueru responded softly, and put her arms around Yan Ge'er, who was still a thin and small little guy. As Liu Yueru hugged him, tears flowed down her face unconsciously.

Since she was reborn, she had never seen Yan Ge'er act like a spoiled child like this. Liu Yueru was shocked and asked the person in her arms in confusion, "Did someone bully you, Yan Ge'er?"
