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

Chapter 8: Who she is doesn't matter

“If you mind, then you shouldn’t…” Leng Yuling said, gesturing with her lips to indicate that Princess Ruikang should help her stop Mo Zhen from marrying her.

But Princess Ruikang acted as if nothing had happened, and instead advised Leng Yuling: "My brother the emperor is not only a good emperor, but also a good husband. Although I don't know what kind of person your Northern Desert emperor is, I can be sure that our Southern Chu emperor is definitely a superior person."

"Just kidding, not everyone can become emperor so easily." Leng Yuling muttered under her breath, but Mo Xuan, with his sharp ears, overheard her.

He suppressed a laugh and said, "Brother, your Empress is quite interesting. It was worth bringing her back from the Northern Desert."

Then she was met with a glare from Leng Yuling. At this moment, she felt that Mo Xuan should shut up. If it weren't for him, would she be here?

Leaving was absolutely impossible, and judging from the situation, Princess Ruikang was unlikely to help her escape the Southern Chu Palace. Thinking of this, Leng Yuling had a headache.

She pressed her temples and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Ruikang asked when he saw Leng Yuling pressing her temples.

"My head hurts, it hurts so much!" she said, shaking her head. "You all should leave. I want to be alone." After saying that, she pushed Ruikang out before he could say anything more.

Leng Yuling leaned against the door and let out a long sigh. This matter was a bit tricky.

After returning to the imperial study, Mo Xuan asked, "Your Majesty, do you really intend to make Leng Yuling the Empress of our Southern Chu Kingdom?"

Mo Zhen neither admitted nor denied it. Mo Xuan knew that he was tacitly agreeing.

Although he didn't know why Mo Zhen insisted on marrying Leng Yuling, he knew that Mo Zhen must have his own reasons for doing so.

As for the reason, he naturally couldn't guess.

“Brother, as you know, Leng Yuling’s status is different from other women. She is the legitimate daughter of Leng Pingchu, the Prime Minister of the Northern Desert Kingdom, and has a great relationship with the Northern Desert royal family. Would it be inconsiderate to make her our Southern Chu Empress?”

Mo Xuan quite liked Leng Yuling and thought it would be very interesting if she became the Empress of the Southern Chu Kingdom, but all of this was on the premise that she could not have any relationship with the Northern Mo Kingdom.

However, things didn't go as planned. She happened to be the daughter of the Prime Minister of the Northern Desert Kingdom, and a woman whom the Emperor of the Northern Desert didn't want.

"So?" Mo Zhen sat down in the chair, looked at Mo Xuan, and asked calmly, "Does it matter who she is?"

Before Mo Xuan could speak, he continued, "In my eyes, she is nothing more than a woman, a woman I want."

Seeing his elder brother's calm demeanor, Mo Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. Since he could remain so composed, he must have his own plans and strategies for dealing with the situation.

"It seems that Your Majesty is determined to have her, then I have no doubts." With that, Mo Xuan laughed a few times, and then walked towards the door of the Imperial Study with his hands behind his back.

After Mo Xuan left, Mo Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked at a certain spot ahead.

When Mo Xuan asked him why he insisted on marrying Leng Yuling, even he himself didn't know how to answer, so he simply didn't answer.

Even Mo Zhen himself found it very strange, wondering what he really felt for Leng Yuling, or whether, as Mo Xuan asked, he was determined to marry her.

However, it cannot be denied that Leng Yuling always has the ability to drive him crazy.
