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

Chapter Five: You Become Empress, I'll Leave!

"Princess Ruikang? The girl who came to the palace every day during the days Mo Zhen was in a coma?"

Although Ziyan found Leng Yuling's description a bit strange, she could still roughly understand what she meant. She was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Leng Yuling crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking thoughtful.

After thinking for a long time, she seemed to have come up with something.

Princess Ruikang undoubtedly likes Mo Zhen, and since Mo Zhen goes to celebrate her birthday every year, his feelings for her must be quite deep.

Since that's the case, her only chance to leave this place is through Princess Ruikang.

Thinking of this, Leng Yuling felt much more relaxed.

-

The next day, she asked someone to arrange a meeting with Princess Ruikang.

"You were looking for me?" When Princess Ruikang saw Leng Yuling, she still acted aloof and didn't take her seriously, but there was something about her that she felt was not right.

"Time is of the essence, come with me." Before Princess Ruikang could react, Leng Yuling pulled her into the palace and blocked all the palace servants outside the door.

Princess Ruikang frowned, looking at Leng Yuling warily. She subconsciously took a few steps back and said cautiously, "This is my brother the Emperor's palace. If you dare to do anything to me, you will definitely not have a good end."

“Although this is a society governed by the rule of law, I am a person who has received legal education. What would I do to you?” Leng Yuling found it amusing and blurted out.

These words puzzled Princess Ruikang: "What is a society governed by the rule of law? And what does legal education mean?"

Leng Yuling subconsciously patted her forehead. She shouldn't have talked about 21st-century things with an ancient person. She waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. I just wanted to ask you if you like Mo Zhen?"

"How dare you casually address the Emperor by his name? Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?"

Calling out her name would get her beheaded; she really couldn't stay in this place any longer. The more this happened, the more determined Leng Yuling became to leave.

"I'm just asking you, do you like Mo Zhen? Do you want to be his empress?" Leng Yuling looked at Princess Ruikang and asked seriously.

"what do you mean?"

"I'll give you the Empress's throne. You can be the Empress, and I'll leave. How about that?"

Princess Ruikang thought this was probably the most unbelievable thing she had ever heard—that a woman didn't want to be Mo Zhen's empress. She looked at Leng Yuling with disbelief: "You don't want to be empress?"

Leng Yuling nodded very seriously.

Princess Ruikang smiled.

Leng Yuling blinked and looked at her: "What are you laughing at? Time is of the essence. If you want to be empress, the only way is to get rid of me."

Leng Yuling finally revealed her true purpose, but Princess Ruikang still looked at her with curiosity and questions.

Princess Ruikang's behavior puzzled Leng Yuling. Shouldn't she be happy to hear that she didn't want to be empress? Why was she acting like this?

"Are you afraid that if you take me away, Mo Zhen will come after you?" This was the only possibility she could think of, but it was quickly dismissed because Princess Ruikang shook her head with a smile.

"The wedding is already underway, and my brother the Emperor has already decided that you will be the Empress of our Southern Chu Kingdom. Besides, the palace is heavily guarded. Do you think I can get rid of you?"

Leng Yuling frowned. Why was the person in front of her so different from the people she had met before?

"Who are you? You are not Princess Ruikang," Leng Yuling said coldly.
