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

Chapter 93: I don't understand this plot!

Unable to discern Leng Yuling's emotions, and unaware that Leng Yuling already knew about the different past between him and Ma Xiaoxiao, Mo Zhen nodded and left without offering any explanation.

After he left, Leng Yuling became furious.

"Damn it, you actually left after I told you to!"

He almost kissed her, but without any explanation, a woman could call him away. What's going on?

Having never been in a relationship in her two lifetimes, Leng Yuling said she really couldn't understand the plot!

That night, Leng Yuling waited for Mo Zhen for a long time, and didn't even know when she finally fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that she was alone in bed and Mo Zhen was nowhere to be seen in the room.

He didn't come home last night. Another woman called him over, and then he didn't come back!

Leng Yuling didn't know why Mo Zhen wasn't coming; all she knew was that she was furious!

"Ziyan!" Leng Yuling called out.

Upon hearing this, Ziyan, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly pushed the door open and came in. She saw Leng Yuling sitting cross-legged on the bed with a very bad expression on her face, as if someone had offended her.

However, Ziyan had no idea who had offended Leng Yuling, who had just gotten up. She hadn't disturbed her sleep, and even though she thought that, she still couldn't help but tremble.

"Mother...Your Majesty, you're awake." Ziyan said cautiously, afraid of further angering Leng Yuling.

Leng Yuling snorted heavily before speaking, "Where did he sleep last night?" One moment he wanted to kiss her, and the next he left with the woman who was looking for him, and he didn't even come home last night. How could she not be angry?

She still hadn't figured out what Mo Zhen meant last night, and yet he inexplicably spent the night with another woman? Although men in this era typically had multiple wives and concubines, especially since he was the emperor and could take concubines and bestow titles at any time.

but!

She wouldn't allow this to happen until she figured out what Mo Zhen meant by those words. So, she was furious.

Yes, I'm really angry!

Leng Yuling was very angry, and the consequences were severe, at least Ziyan could clearly feel it.

Ziyan clearly knew who she was asking, but dared not say, and just lowered her head. Before she could speak, she heard Leng Yuling say, "Was he with Ma Xiaoxiao yesterday?"

Although Ma Xiaoxiao looks like Xiaoxiao, Mozhen is now her husband, even if only in name. If she is sure that Mozhen has no feelings for her and likes Ma Xiaoxiao instead, she will leave without hesitation and will never have any more thoughts about Mozhen.

But before all these things were cleared up, Mo Zhen was already cheating!

Yes, cheating.

Thinking about this made her even angrier, a strange anger rising in her chest that made it hard to breathe.

Leng Yuling got out of bed without washing her face or changing her clothes, and headed towards the door. Seeing this, Ziyan had no choice but to step forward and pull her back. Although she knew Leng Yuling was angry, she knew that letting her go out like this was more dangerous than angering her.

"Your Highness, where are you going? You haven't washed up or changed your clothes yet." Ziyan pulled her back in time.

-

Pulled back by Ziyan, she washed up and changed her clothes before storming downstairs, her footsteps growing louder as she asked Ziyan, "Where are they now?"

She went to find Mo Zhen and Ma Xiaoxiao with the intention of catching them cheating.

Ziyan rarely saw Leng Yuling so angry so early in the morning. What was even more frightening was that she didn't know why Leng Yuling was angry as soon as she woke up, so she could only answer her question: "His Majesty... His Majesty and the General are in the study..."

study?

So romantic? So shameless?

Leng Yuling walked to the study door and kicked it. Everyone inside looked surprised and displeased when they saw her.

However, what she saw was not Mo Zhen and Ma Xiaoxiao sleeping together or hugging, but... sitting face to face, separated by a desk with some documents on it, and besides Mo Zhen and Ma Xiaoxiao, there was also Mo Xuan with dark circles under his eyes.

Are they... discussing official business?

"What are you doing here?" Mo Zhen was very displeased with Leng Yuling's actions.

Leng Yuling was extremely embarrassed. She turned to look at Ziyan and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me that Mo Xuan was also here?"

Ziyan looked completely innocent. She hadn't asked who was in the study, and she genuinely didn't know that her purpose in seeking out Mozhen was to... catch them in the act of adultery.

Leng Yuling looked embarrassed, all the anger she felt about being cuckolded vanished, and she even felt a little guilty for misunderstanding Mo Zhen.

"Well..." Since things had come to this, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on. "You guys were discussing business all night without inviting me. That's so disloyal. I was the one who came up with this plan."

Leng Yuling attributed the kick to the door to the fact that they used her plan but didn't let her participate in the discussion. However, Mo Zhen and the others still looked at her with curiosity.

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Leng Yuling stared at them with wide eyes. The next moment, she strode over to Mo Zhen's side and picked up the notebook in front of him to read it.

He remembered her explanation from yesterday, and added many feasible suggestions to her plan. This was probably the reality of this era, or rather, the situation in the Southern Chu Kingdom. In any case, she didn't understand it.

"You've all made a decision?" Seeing their increasingly puzzled expressions, she realized she was using 21st-century language, so she changed her question to, "I mean, is this plan finalized?"

Mo Xuan was already used to Leng Yuling's strangeness, so he nodded: "It was decided just before you came in."

Leng Yuling sighed, feeling incredibly embarrassed. She put down the notebook, casually said, "Never mind then, I won't participate," and strode out of the study, her steps quickening as she walked, her face growing increasingly awkward.

After walking a distance, she turned back and looked at Ziyan, complaining, "Hey Ziyan, you really put me in a terrible situation today. Do you know how embarrassed I was just now?"

Leng Yuling pouted and complained.

Ziyan knew she wasn't angry, but she quickly said, "Your Majesty, the first thing you asked me when you got up was where the Emperor was, but you didn't tell me that you suspected the Emperor of being with Ma..." She didn't finish her sentence, but Leng Yuling understood.

Leng Yuling raised her hand unhappily, as if to hit her, but it was just a joking threat: "If you don't explain clearly next time and embarrass me again, I'll slap you to death."

After saying that, she turned and continued walking forward, head down, feeling utterly humiliated. However, she knew she couldn't blame Ziyan, and of course, she wouldn't blame her.

Ziyan knew she wasn't angry, so she called out in a coquettish tone, "Your Majesty..."

"Shut up." Leng Yuling turned around, pointed at Ziyan, then turned and continued walking, muttering under her breath, "It's utterly shameful..."
