After Wu Qingyue slowly regained consciousness, she discovered that she was suddenly flooded with visitors. The most prominent among them was undoubtedly Xiao Muli. Since the first day she regained consciousness, Xiao Muli had even neglected the daily morning court session, remaining devotedly in the side hall, never leaving.

Wu Qingyue secretly groaned, wanting to expel this uninvited guest several times. However, no matter how she tried to insinuate or hint, Xiao Muli seemed deaf, remaining stubbornly where he was, refusing to budge. Helpless, Wu Qingyue could only let him stay.

As time went by, rumors about the two of them gradually began to spread in the palace.

"Miss, look at His Majesty. He comes to our place every day. He comes here more often than he goes to the bedrooms of his concubines in the harem. If this continues, I'm afraid..."

Even someone as carefree as Xiaotao was able to sense that something was amiss, not to mention the sophisticated and shrewd people in the palace.

Hearing Xiao Tao's worried words, Wu Qingyue frowned and looked troubled: "Then do you think there is any good way to get rid of him?"

Facing her master's question, Xiao Tao's face was full of bitterness, and she stammered, "That...that's the current emperor! I'm just a humble and insignificant maid. How could I have the guts to drive him away?"

After saying that, Xiaotao couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The woman also sighed softly. She was also very distressed!

If this matter gets to the ears of her husband, he will definitely be jealous!

"I think he's just taking advantage of the fact that the prince is not at home, that's why he's so unscrupulous!"

"Well, it's not that serious."

"How is it not serious? He sits in the yard like a piece of wood all day long, motionless, and simply refuses to leave! This has caused us so much trouble and distress!" Xiao Tao complained angrily.

Of course, such a huge Buddha standing there would make anyone feel uneasy. Everyone had to live in fear and anxiety every day, fearing that they would accidentally anger this Buddha.

"Okay, okay, don't be so excited. Just treat him as a guest and be polite to him."

However, it was no easy task to treat the current emperor as if he did not exist! She did not have such courage. When she thought of this, she could not help but shake her head and sigh.

In this way, two more days passed.

One day, Wu Qingyue suddenly received a letter from the border. Before she opened the envelope, she felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding. After she finished reading the letter with trembling hands, the bad premonition instantly became reality, and she felt like she was falling into an icy cellar.

There were only six short words written in flamboyant calligraphy on the letter paper: "If you dare to step outside the wall, your legs will be broken."

The handwriting was incredibly familiar. Wasn't it the work of her overbearing husband?

Upon seeing these words, Wu Qingyue felt a chill on her back, as if she could sense the fierce murderous aura coming towards her through the letter paper.

The morning after she received the letter, the previously clear sky suddenly became overcast without warning. Soon, large raindrops began to pour down, forming a spectacular curtain of rain like a waterfall. Wu Qingyue stood quietly by the window, watching the raging downpour, and surprisingly, she felt a slight sense of relief.

Perhaps this sudden downpour can wash away some of the haze in her heart...

It’s raining so hard, he shouldn’t come, right?

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, the next second, she saw someone coming in the heavy rain with an umbrella.

Three black lines immediately slid down her forehead.

She thought she should have a good talk with him.

Xiao Muli staggered and saw the woman standing by the door. His heart moved and his eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Xiao Muli." The woman called him: "Come in, let's talk."

Xiao Muli was obviously stunned for a moment, but when he reacted the next second, he was ecstatic!!!

Xiao Muli walked quickly into the house, put away his umbrella, and kept his eyes on Wu Qingyue.

"You know that you're putting me in a difficult position." Wu Qingyue went straight to the point.

Xiao Muli didn't care, "I just wanted to see you."

"But I already have a husband, and I am also your imperial aunt. You, as the emperor, come here without regard for your status. If this gets out, it will damage both our reputations." Wu Qingyue frowned.

Xiao Muli was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I can't control my heart. Ever since I first saw you, I've lost my soul."

Wu Qingyue's heart was shocked. She never expected that Xiao Muli would be so straightforward and tell her everything he was thinking.

For a moment, she was at a loss, staring blankly at the man in front of her.

"Ali, this is really against the rules. Besides, the friendship between Shi Nayi and I is deep and indestructible. No one can separate us." Wu Qingyue calmed herself down and said in a firm tone.

A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Muli's lips, and he asked softly, "Really?" His voice seemed to carry endless loss.

"Of course it's true!" Wu Qingyue answered without hesitation.

Hearing Wu Qingyue's decisive words, Xiao Muli couldn't help but laugh bitterly and muttered to himself, "But I can't let go of this relationship no matter what. What should I do?"

Wu Qingyue remained silent, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

"There are many beautiful flowers in the world, so why should you only love one flower?" After a long time, Wu Qingyue slowly opened her mouth to persuade.

However, these words seemed to touch the softest part of Xiao Muli's heart. A hint of stubbornness flashed across his eyes, and he continued, "But for me, there will never be another flower as beautiful and unique as you in this world."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingyue sighed deeply and helplessly, saying, "As the Son of Heaven, who is high above all others, what kind of woman in the world can't you get? Why are you so obsessed with me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Muli took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Wu Qingyue, his gaze as blazing as a burning flame. He said solemnly, "It's because my heart has long been out of control. It has always belonged to you alone."

"But, Ali, we are really not suitable. So don't come here again!"

Wu Qingyue forced herself to harden her heart and gave Xiao Muli a final ultimatum.

Xiao Muli's face suddenly turned ugly!
