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

Chapter Sixty: Who Wants to Show Off Their Love with You?

Watching her departing figure, Leng Ruoxi couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Your Majesty, is my elder sister unhappy?"

Mo Zhen followed Leng Ruoxi's gaze and curled his lips into a smile. He knew she was throwing a tantrum.

However, he felt somewhat happy to see Leng Yuling throwing a tantrum.

After casually saying something to dismiss Leng Ruoxi, he returned to his room, where Leng Yuling was muttering something to herself.

Mo Zhen vaguely heard: So what if he can cook? I can cook too. What's so great about it?

As she spoke, she made gestures, which looked incredibly cute, and finally she let out a few dissatisfied hums.

Mo Zhen couldn't help but smile. He had always seen Leng Yuling looking disdainful or dissatisfied, but he hadn't expected her to be so cute when she was jealous.

"Since Ling'er can cook, when will you cook a meal for me?"

Mo Zhen's voice suddenly rang out. Leng Yuling was startled at first, then shut her mouth, changed her expression, and looked back at him, saying, "Why should I cook for you? You have so many imperial chefs, and if all else fails, there's Leng Ruoxi to cook for you. Why would you need me?"

What Leng Yuling didn't know was that her tone sounded exactly like she was jealous.

Mo Zhen suppressed a laugh and walked step by step to her side, asking in a low voice, "Is Ling'er jealous?"

Leng Yuling, who had already turned her head away, subconsciously turned back after hearing Mo Zhen's words. She was momentarily stunned when she met his gaze, and for a moment forgot what she was going to say, staring at Mo Zhen.

"Ling'er is not speaking, does that mean she agrees with what I said?" Mo Zhen asked again when he did not hear Leng Yuling's reply.

Only then did Leng Yuling come to her senses. Her eyes hardened, and after laughing a few times, she said, word by word, "You're overthinking it!"

After saying that, she turned and went into the inner room. Mo Zhen watched her back with a smug look, and the corners of his mouth, which were already upturned, curved even more.

After resting at the inn for half a day, we set off again.

Because of the awkwardness of her conversation with Mo Zhen at the inn, Leng Yuling absolutely refused to ride in the same carriage as Mo Zhen and instead chose to ride in the same carriage as Bai Xiaozi.

Even though he was her master, Leng Yuling couldn't help but swoon over this face, which was no less handsome than Mo Zhen's. She held her chin in her hands, looked at Bai Xiaozi, and unconsciously asked, "Master, are the men who are pursuing you lined up outside the Great Wall?"

"What is the Great Wall?" Bai Xiaozi didn't seem to care about Leng Yuling's infatuation. Although she rarely asked him these questions before, and rarely stared at him directly, he could still get used to it.

"Uh... it's just an adjective, it doesn't mean anything." She waved her hand.

"You've learned quite a few new words since you came to Southern Chu." It wasn't until Bai Xiaozi's voice rang out that Leng Yuling realized she was being infatuated. She couldn't help but recall the way Leng Siyu stared at Mo Zhen. Her infatuated look just now was probably the same as Leng Siyu's.

I couldn't help but shake my head; it was terrifying!

She ignored Bai Xiaozi's topic and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Master, how did Jun Ao lock you up?"

When she heard in Nan Chu that Bai Xiaozi had been imprisoned by Jun Ao, she was curious about this issue, and only now did she have the opportunity to ask him.

Bai Xiaozi smiled gently and said, "He was once the emperor of the Northern Desert, while I am just a commoner. Do you think it would be difficult for him to capture me?"

That's true, but Leng Yuling always felt that Bai Xiaozi shouldn't be such a simple person. In the TV dramas or novels she had seen in her previous life, people in the martial arts world were usually very powerful.

"Master, is your martial arts skill not high enough?" She meant, could he not even handle a few small fry?

Bai Xiaozi couldn't understand Leng Yuling's thought process. He frowned and looked at her in confusion. Then, Leng Yuling just shook her head and said, "I thought that even if Jun Ao wanted to capture you, Master, you could escape."

In the memories left to her by the original owner, she only remembered that the original owner greatly admired Bai Xiaozi, so she also thought that Bai Xiaozi was a very powerful person.

However, there seems to be a slight disappointment now.

Bai Xiaozi patted Leng Yuling's head and said with a doting smile, "Silly girl, your teacher is a human, not a god. Besides, the world is vast, and everything is just dust. Where can your teacher escape to?"

Hearing Bai Xiaozi's words, Leng Yuling nodded in understanding. She had probably overestimated Bai Xiaozi's abilities. But, just because of Bai Xiaozi's face, she would never be disappointed in him.

-

It took ten days to travel from the northern desert to the southern Chu.

During the ten days on the road, Leng Yuling slept so soundly every day that she questioned the meaning of life. The shaking of the carriage also made her question her existence, and she even decided that she would never ride in a carriage again for the next six months, especially not for long journeys.

After getting off the carriage, Leng Yuling felt lightheaded. Ziyan looked at her and asked worriedly, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I feel uncomfortable all over my body!" Leng Yuling gestured up and down, feeling as if her whole body was falling apart, and she didn't want to move at all.

Hearing her earnest words, Ziyan also became serious and hurriedly said, "Then this servant will call the Medical Sage to examine Your Highness." As she was about to walk away, she was stopped by Leng Yuling.

She lost her balance and fell straight forward, but just when she thought she was about to kiss Mother Earth, she landed in a firm yet warm embrace.

Before she could react, a voice came from above: "This is the palace. If Ling'er wants to show others the love between you and me, there's no need to do so now."

Upon hearing Mo Zhen's voice, Leng Yuling got up from his embrace, stared at him, and blushed involuntarily: "Who wants to show off our love with you? Haven't you heard that showing off your love leads to a quick death?"

As she spoke, Leng Yuling blushed and walked towards Jingling Palace. Mo Zhen couldn't help but smile.

Ziyan looked up at Mo Zhen, puzzled. Then she caught up with Leng Yuling.

Back in her palace, she realized that everything Mo Zhen had said was just a joke he was deliberately playing on her.

Enraged, Leng Yuling stomped her foot and cursed, "Mo Zhen, I will definitely get my revenge for what happened today, hmph!"

"I wonder what Ling'er wants to repay?" Just as Leng Yuling's voice fell, Mo Zhen's voice rang out.

Leng Yuling was taken aback. She hadn't expected him to leave so quickly, and she was even more surprised that he wasn't going back to his own palace, but instead had come to hers.

She turned around, feigning composure, and looked at Mo Zhen. The next moment, she grinned and said, "Your Majesty must have misheard. What I said is true: I have finally returned."

Mo Zhen smiled as he looked at Leng Yuling's evasive gaze. Sure enough, with Leng Yuling around, his life was never short of fun.

"Now that you're back, then be a good empress, my empress," Mo Zhen said firmly.

Leng Yuling was taken aback.
