Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Chapter 86 – Must Marry the Emperor’s Son (1)

“Young lady, you wanted to enter the palace?”

Previously, Xiaolang had always thought that Aji would be in danger if he left the residence but now that Aji was able to write a letter every now and then he was obviously safe.

Ye Mu nodded, feeling a headache coming, “I don’t know what the other party’s motive is, but logically speaking with my mother is dead—no matter who it is, they have to be filial and pay their respects. However, the invitation only invited me.”

Hearing Ye Mu’s words, Ye Xiaolang felt a little uneasy again. “There can’t be a trap, right? Never mind that, I will still go with the young lady! ”

Recently, he had been practicing martial arts with the two experts beside the young mistress. And his improvement had increased by leaps and bounds that he would definitely be able to protect the young lady now.

Ye Mu shook her head, “It’s dangerous in the palace. I can’t take you with me, so you should only continue your studies diligently at home. Did you memorize the phonetic sheet I gave you last time? Aji had learned it in two hours. How many days have you been learning it?”

When it came to studying, Ye Xiaolang was only at a loss for words. “I—I…I will continue studying with him when the young mistress comes back…”

“I knew you would be lazy!” Ye Mu glared at him in exasperation.

At this moment, Xiaoqiu ran in, a little alarmed, “Young lady, the general is here!”

Ye Li? Why would he come to her courtyard?

Ye Mu narrowed her eyes and chased other people away to welcome him.

“Father,” she greeted reverently.

“Hmm…” Ye Li’s gaze swept across the exquisite courtyard before landing on her. “Mu’er must prepare well for the palace banquet to be held in three days.”

Ye Mu pursed his lips and asked again, “But why did you invite me? Shouldn’t you invite older sister instead? ”

Ye Li lowered his eyes to look at the exquisite little child in front of him. As time passed, the little thing in front of him became more and more pleasing to his eyes; when she would look at someone with her eyes wide open, it was as if that person was her entire world…

She really can’t bear to be like this, but…the person who becomes a powerful in the future does not care about his own daughter. What else could she do to obtain his pity and favor?

He unexpectedly asked, “Mu’er, what do you think about your father’s treatment of you?”

“Father naturally treats me extremely well!” Ye Mu replied without thinking. The people of the capital knew that Ye Li favored his daughter due to the blessings of the Prime Minister’s estate, so what else could she say?

Ye Li nodded his head, “Actually, the reason you were on the list of people to enter the palace was because of Concubine Rou. And it was also for father’s sake.”

Ye Mu raised her head and looked at him, her pupils narrowing as he asked with a smile, “Father pushed the boat together with the current because there was something that he wanted Mu’er to do?”

“M’er is very smart.”

Ye Mu really didn’t know what to make of Ye Li’s straightforward admission. She was only six years old and was not yet an adult. If Ye Li didn’t trust her too much, then he must have some other motive.

“Father…what do you want me to do? ”

Ye Li raised his eyebrows slightly. “Did you remember before that you said Concubine Rou was pregnant? Unfortunately, during this period of time of searching, I was not able to find anything. Now that there will be a banquet in the palace, and the Imperial Consort Rou will also attend it—”

“Father wants me to investigate?”

Ye Mu’s eyebrows were knotted into a frown, and her heart felt a little troubled. “That’s the only reason?”

Ye Li stroked her head, “Yes, that is the reason. Later on, I will bring the garments that you will need to wear to the palace. After Mu’er enters, be careful.”

Ye Mu nodded as she watched Ye Li leave. She knew that her intuition was telling her something was amiss, so she had to prepare something in the next three days.
