Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Chapter 117 – I Want to Rewrite a Person’s Destiny (2)

At this point, Ye Li would have definitely discovered that the forbidden map of the Imperial Army in his hands was completely fake. Would he vent out his fury on Ye Mu? After all, Ye Mu could be considered his closest aide…

Back then, Mo Linyuan had chosen to form an alliance with Yan Xu precisely because of Ye Li’s cruel nature. When he thought about how Yan Xu had come to him, informing him that Ye Li had personally given his daughter to the Emperor to enjoy, and how he used his former comrades to his benefit—he naturally did not have a good impression on this person.

If he really wanted to help a person ascend the throne, why should he choose someone with a troublesome personality? Therefore, from the very beginning, he never really wanted Ye Li to succeed with his plans.

The only thing unexpected was that after he numerous people, of whom where martial experts, to protect Ye Mu, Ye Li would actually dare use his men to take her away; callous to their lives, whether they died or get injured in the process.

He couldn’t fathom what the reason was for this brash decision on ye Li’s part. With Ye Li’s cold-blooded personality, he shouldn’t be able to remember an insignificant pawn like his daughter in the upcoming rebellion.

On the most crucial moment, why would did he go forth and take Ye Mu back?

For the first time, Mo Linyuan couldn’t come up with a plausible explanation. Nevertheless, when he thought about how Ye Mu could be hurt by Ye Li, he immediately blamed himself for not giving her enough protection…

Noticing that Mo Linyuan was caught in his own worries and would not to respond to him, the Second Prince rubbed his nose thoughtfully and slowly walked towards the bed.

Although the emperor had just died, there was no one around him. Originally, he should have died sooner, but Mo Linyuan wanted them to hang onto the emperor’s life, saying that it wasn’t his time ‘to die’ just yet.

If the emperor had died earlier, there would be no one left to command the imperial army. Moreover, it was still uncertain whose hands they would fall into. But now, with Ye Li’s victory against Prince Zhao, that left him scrambling for an escape, and the Emperor dead, the imperial army would fall into the second prince’s hands.

Therefore, the moment Ye Li would clash with Prince Zhao, it would be the time for the emperor to die.

The Second Prince glanced at the Emperor, but there was no change in his tranquil expression. He only used a blanket to cover the Emperor.

It didn’t matter if the Emperor died. If he died, then there wouldn’t be any more sufferings.

Meanwhile, Ye Mu was currently walking around the palace with one agenda in mind: she wanted to find Mo Linyuan. But with the thick battle happening around her right now, it was an impossible feat for her to break through the lines of battle to enter the inner palace.

How could I contact him? She was helpless when she suddenly saw the prince’s residence to the side. Her eyes suddenly lit up!

The last time he had taken her to the cellar, he had forbidden her to come back a second time. Yan Xu had also already lived in the prince’s estate back when he was still a child.

Ye Mu hurriedly ran towards the prince’s mansion. Through twists and turns, she finally arrived at a familiar location. And sure enough, just as she was about to enter the ice cellar, she was stopped.

“Who is it?!” The shadow guard that Yan Xu had sent to protect his mother’s body suddenly appeared and blocked Ye Mu on her path.

Ye Mu was breathing heavily from her non-stop running. When she saw the person, she only shouted, “My name is Ye Mu! I’m here to see Qi Yan!”

Qi Yan was Yan Xu’s real given name.

The shadow guard was stunned. Just as he felt that something was amiss, another male voice drifted out from inside. “Ye Mu?”

Yan Xu, donned in armor, was standing in front of her with a helmet in his arms. “What are you doing here?” he asked curiously.

When Ye Mu saw him, she also felt surprised, with a hint of relief mixed in it. However, from his current appearance, she knew that he was clearly planning to go to the battlefield, to fight till death.

Probably, before he would leave, he wanted to come her and bid his mother farewell.

“Yan…” Ye Mu looked at him with a complex expression. “Mo Linyuan and you have teamed up a long time ago, isn’t that right?”

Yan Xu frowned. After he waved for his shadow guards to retreat, only then did he say, “Right from the day I went to look for him and told him that you were sent to the Imperial Palace and given willingly to the emperor by Ye Li, he’d taken the initiative to form an alliance with me.”

Yan Xu could still vividly remember how livid Mo Linyuan was back then. To him, it was an unforgivable sin that Ye Mu would even be hurt in the slightest.

Ye Mu closed her eyes.

So, Mo Linyuan had been doing it for her all this time…

Ye Mu focused her sights and spoke again, “May I know why Ye Li, who has always been a cautious person, suddenly attack the Imperial Palace without regard for the consequences? Could it be that you did something?”

Yan Xu looked at her and only shook his head, “We didn’t do anything.”
