The cold emperor reigns supreme, the arrogant empress begs for a truce.

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Legendary Empress Who Was Banished to the Cold Palace

Seeing Mo Zhen's puzzled expression, Leng Yuling felt even more annoyed.

"This conversation is over. You can leave now," Leng Yuling said coldly.

"Leng Yuling!" Hearing Leng Yuling say that he was being driven away again, Mo Zhen's face darkened, especially in front of so many palace servants. "Don't provoke me again and again. I've had enough patience with you."

“Did I ask you to give me patience?” Leng Yuling said confidently. “Let me tell you, my patience is also limited, and I don’t intend to give you any more patience.”

After saying that, before Mo Zhen could speak, Leng Yuling pointed to the door and said, "Go." Mo Zhen didn't move, so Leng Yuling pushed him towards the door.

After pushing Mo Zhen out of the palace, she closed the door. All the palace servants in Jingling Palace lowered their heads slightly, pretending not to see anything.

In truth, they already felt something was very unusual. Leng Yuling's sudden becoming the Empress of the Southern Chu Kingdom was strange enough to them, but Mo Zhen's attitude and patience towards her made them even more incomprehensible. However, they were only curious and dared not speak out.

Mo Zhen stared at the door that Leng Yuling had closed, gritted his teeth, and muttered under his breath, "Leng Yuling."

Rong Momo had just returned from outside Jingling Palace. She saw Mo Zhen standing at the door and was about to go up and ask him something, but before she could speak, Mo Zhen turned and left, as if he hadn't seen Rong Momo at all.

Rong Momo asked the palace servants, but none of them dared to speak. In the end, she could only look curiously in the direction of the bedchamber.

The news of Mo Zhen's quarrel with Leng Yuling spread throughout the entire harem in no time. Mo Zhen also did not spend the night at Jingling Palace for several days in a row, which even Ziyan found strange.

"Your Majesty, did you have a fight with the Emperor?" Ziyan asked cautiously.

Leng Yuling was taken aback at first, but after seeing Ziyan's sincere eyes, she shook her head: "Why would I argue with him? Am I the kind of person who would argue?"

Finally, Leng Yuling said in a low voice, "When I'm unhappy, I just fight. After all, arguing is too much of a waste of breath."

Ziyan was stunned for a moment when she heard Leng Yuling's words, but she quickly recovered. After all, it was Leng Yuling, a different Leng Yuling from others, so no matter what she did, she seemed to understand.

“But everyone in the palace is saying that the Emperor…” Ziyan didn’t finish her sentence, but Leng Yuling knew what was going on and continued for her, “that the Empress was… banished to the Cold Palace by him?”

Leng Yuling smiled coldly. In fact, apart from the poor conditions, the Cold Palace was not bad at all, and it might even be more suitable for her to live in.

After all, she wasn't someone who enjoyed competing with a group of women for a man's affections, especially for one man; it simply wasn't worth it.

Thinking about this, she wished that Mo Zhen would really banish her to the cold palace.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor hasn't come for several days. Aren't you worried?" Ziyan asked again.

Leng Yuling burst into laughter, and after she had finished laughing, she replied, "Why should I worry? It would be best if he didn't come. I don't want to see him anyway."

That's what she said, but she still had a vague feeling in her heart, a sense of emptiness.

Before long, a familiar voice came from the doorway: "Is the Empress, who was rumored to have been banished to the Cold Palace, here?"

"Shut up," Leng Yuling said, turning to look towards the doorway, waiting for the person whose voice preceded their arrival.
