Chapter 318: Greedy and Corrupt Prime Minister vs. Tyrannical Emperor (29)

"Prime Minister Yu, do you hope that I am the emperor? Or that I am a friend you met by chance?" Li Xuange restored his deliberately hoarse voice to a slightly low, pleasant and gentle voice, and his tone also became unhurried, like a casual dragon.

Even though she had guessed 80% of it, the moment she learned the truth, her heart still skipped a beat and the chopsticks in her hands made a noise.

"If possible, I would rather you were just a friend in the underworld, so that I can still invite you for a drink in the future." Yu Ci said slowly.

Li Xuange raised the wine bowl in his hand and tapped it lightly towards the soup bowl on the table, indicating a toast. His eyes were empty and focused, and he said, "Just because I'm the emperor, I can't treat you to a drink?"

Yu Ci picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. It tasted a little sweet and a little spicy.

"It's not that I can't, but I don't want to. There are probably few people in this world who are willing to eat with the emperor."

"Why..." Li Xuan Ge asked knowingly and put down the wine bowl. She looked at the beauty through the last bit of dim sunlight. The sunlight was faint and the more she looked at her, the more beautiful she became. She actually felt that this half bowl of rice wine was starting to intoxicate her.

Yu Ci also put down the bowl and looked fixedly at the woman opposite. She still had the face of an ordinary person, but her eyes revealed her original unparalleled beauty.

Why? Because you and I are incompatible, because you want to kill me, because I don’t like the closed court, and I don’t like getting up early every day for the morning court…

There are many reasons, but I don’t know what to say...

Facing an unpredictable emperor who holds the power over your life and death, it seems that any reason seems pale and powerless.

So Yu Ci skipped this topic and asked, "Why did you come to my room that day?"

What she wanted to know was why she was poisoned and why she came here specifically to get the poison removed.

Li Xuange herself couldn't explain why. She just couldn't help but want to look at Yu Ci again and again when she saw her for the first time because of the red line. A vague idea emerged in her mind.

Moreover, this was the first time in all these years that she met someone who made her feel completely relaxed, as if they had known each other for a long, long time.

It was so long that Li Xuan Ge couldn't find any memory of it.

"I made a mistake at the time." She did not explain why she went to remove the poison, but explained why she was poisoned.

Yu Ci tentatively accepted this reason and silently picked up a piece of meat and ate it. The two were speechless for a moment, and just ate at the same table like familiar strangers.

She actually wanted to ask a lot of questions, such as why he helped her later, and whether the favor from the court was flattery or sincerity.

And most importantly, what does she think of the Yu Mansion?

It’s just that people who are of no use have no right to negotiate, and communicating with the emperor is essentially more like an exchange of interests.

After finishing the meal, Yu Ci silently took out the mutton-fat jade pendant from her arms, then placed it on her palm, got up from her seat and walked to the side.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. This belongs to Your Majesty. I feel unworthy to accept it." She knelt on one knee and held up the white jade.

Li Xuange's originally cheerful expression suddenly darkened. She had concealed her identity and often came to see her little Prime Minister Yu just to seek a place to relax. Now, that relaxing sky was covered by the dark cloud of imperial power.

She put down her chopsticks and looked at the mutton-fat jade pendant in front of her, which was exactly the same as the one in her arms. For some reason, she felt a dull pain in her heart, as if she was hit by a cloth hammer, very dull.

What should she say, my dear, can you please stand up?

Still refused to return.

Never go back.

"Stand up." Li Xuange spoke in the same cold tone as in the court, his eyes falling on Yu Ci's head.

Yu Ci slowly raised her head and their eyes met.

Li Xuange felt a nameless anger rising from his heart. Why was it like this? They shouldn't be like this...

A feeling of having power but nowhere to exert force made her feel uneasy.

Yu Ci placed the jade pendant in front of Li Xuange, slowly sat down, and asked bluntly: "Your Majesty, in the future... can you leave a way for my sisters to live?"

She did not ask whether the other party would destroy the Yu family, because that was inevitable. Even if her relationship with Li Xuange was good, the destruction of the Yu family was inevitable.

Because she would not allow such a prime minister's office to survive, which would be detrimental to the stability of the court and the dynasty in the future, so the result was the same both logically and emotionally.

Li Xuange didn't even look at the jade pendant on the table. He just looked at Yu Ci with a serious gaze. His tone was calm and oppressive, and he said: "Then it depends on you..."

She couldn't bear to part with such a talented person, but if it was a young child, she might give it a break.

Yu Ci knew this was the result, so she didn't dare to ask for too much. She just said, "I wish your majesty peace and prosperity in the world, and prosperity for the country and the people!"

"I am willing to help Your Majesty realize his ambitions, and I hope you will show some leniency!"

Li Xuange felt something stuck in his throat as he listened to the official polite words that were so familiar to him. Today's meal was very good, but he did not enjoy it very much.

"I will give you three years. After three years, the Yu family will disappear from the court." After leaving this sentence, Li Xuange turned and left the pavilion.

Yu Ci raised her head and saw that the mutton-fat jade pendant on the table had not been taken away, so she moved closer and touched it.

Three years... Well, I'll give it back to her when I leave after three years.
