Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

"Can I have a hug?"

Mo Chen looked at her pitifully, as if to say, "If you don't agree, I'll cry."

Ye Li increasingly felt that she was completely under his control.

Even though he was shot with an arrow before, he was able to endure it without firing a shot or uttering a sound when the doctor pulled out the arrow.

When injured, he lay silently in bed, without whining or asking for a hug, and certainly without letting tears and snot stream down his face.

But after losing his memory, he can do whatever he wants?

Ye Li felt that Mo Chen might be subconsciously lacking affection.

Therefore, when one loses their rationality, they will reveal their vulnerability and crave more comfort.

If Mo Chen had previously appeared in the main hall as a wise and brave general, then at this moment he was just a spoiled child who would seize any opportunity to act cute and charming—yet Ye Li really couldn't bear to let him cry.

Just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too do people experience joy and sorrow, separation and reunion. Since our meeting is a matter of fate, let us embrace each other for warmth.

Ye Li wanted to reward him, since today was the best performance since the start of special training.

Of course you have to coax a patient!

She responded with lips, "We still have a mission to complete later, so let's play together for a bit first."

Mo Chen received approval, wiped away his tears, and was just as he was happy that his wish had been fulfilled when there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

Ye Li was startled and turned around...

Li Siyi's voice rang out from outside the door:

"General, the drawing of lots for the martial arts competition is about to begin in the main hall. Let's go and check on the situation."

Upon hearing this, Ye Li quickly tidied herself up and gestured for him to leave.

But Mo Chen remained calm. He stood up, bent down, and reached out his hand behind her knees. In an instant, Ye Li was carried in his arms in a princess carry.

Mo Chen was unhappy about being disturbed, so he compromised and satisfied himself by saying:

"Alright, then I'll carry my wife and walk over like this."

!!!

That doesn't need to be so exciting!

Ye Li struggled to get down.

But Mo Chen wouldn't allow it. He gripped her tightly in his arms, holding her captive, and then swaggered out.

Li Siyi waited respectfully outside. Upon seeing this, he turned his gaze elsewhere and quickly walked forward.

Well done, General!

Li Siyi said happily:

“I know a shortcut that’s the fastest and least crowded. Please follow me, General.”

Seeing that Li Siyi was so understanding and knew that the general needed to find a secluded place to save face, Ye Li nodded and let him go.

The three of them hurried through the palace paths.

It's called a path, but it's really just a little narrower, with a few more flowers and plants, and a few more trees that can block out a person's shadow. It's still the luxurious and prosperous inner courtyard of the palace.

Suddenly, Li Siyi, who was halfway through walking, stopped—making a gesture to silence.

Mo Chen stopped warily, and Ye Li, seeing everyone's serious expressions, also became tense.

The duel hasn't even started yet!

what happened?

They hid behind a large tree entwined with vines.

Not far away, a number of palace maids were seen keeping watch.

Li Siyi had a feeling that something interesting was about to happen, so he gestured to eavesdrop.

Ye Li couldn't speak to begin with, and now that her feet weren't touching the ground, she was being held in Mo Chen's arms, so she naturally went with them.

They quietly evaded the palace maids who were watching them and went to a place where they could hide.

Two richly dressed people were seen having a secret rendezvous on the bridge ahead.

Ye Li took a look and realized that the person dressed in the magnificent phoenix robe was none other than the Empress herself.

She couldn't help but hold her breath and look intently, only to see the Empress chatting with a richly dressed man.

The man had his back to the direction they were hiding, so his face was not visible.

But at this moment, their conversation seemed to erupt into conflict, and the Queen became unusually agitated.

She questioned the man in a very harsh voice, while the man's voice was low and calm.

From Ye Li's perspective, she couldn't hear what the man was saying.

But after watching so many period dramas, it's easy to guess that it must be related to emotional issues.

Their conversation broke down quickly. The Empress swayed, took a few steps back, and leaned wearily against the railing, then gave a sorrowful laugh…

It was a smile that was almost one of despair and sorrow.

Although she was smiling, her eyes were crying, and crystal-clear tears fell on her beautiful face, which made people feel sorry for her.

Ye Li was extremely curious. The Empress was already in a high position and possessed the most powerful resources a woman of this era could have, so why was she here with a man from another family...?

Ok……

It seems that the secrets within the palace are indeed often unbelievable.

Empress Siyue appeared agitated, pressing for answers with her voice growing louder and louder:

"why why why?"

She questioned him with all her might, and finally even Ye Li, who had no martial arts skills, could hear her voice.

The man never turned around. He seemed to say something, but the queen was very dissatisfied.

She was extremely disappointed, and unwilling to show weakness, she turned her back to him, not wanting anyone to see her vulnerability.

As she wiped away her tears, Ye Li could see her sadness.

Perhaps this is a tragic love story...

The man saw her tears welling up, yet she remained stubbornly defiant, refusing to show weakness.

Even though it's heartbreaking, all that's left is a lonely silhouette.

The mysterious man seemed to finally be moved, and he stepped forward...

Ye Li thought to herself: Wow! This is some juicy gossip!

Later, Ye Li witnessed the man not only approaching the Empress, but also embracing her!

Shocking big melon!

Although this angle doesn't fully show whether the two of them were actually in physical contact, at least they were at a distance that wasn't completely unfamiliar.

Moreover, women in ancient times were very conservative, which was completely different from the way they studied and attended classes at the same table in modern times.

The empress was surrounded by him, and seemed to be listening to what he said. Then the empress became even more excited.

She turned around and punched the man squarely in the body. The man did not resist and let her vent her anger.

Now Ye Li was absolutely certain that the two of them had definitely had a past relationship.

The only question is who this mysterious person is.

What was the Empress's purpose in daring to arrange a meeting with him inside the palace?

Doesn't the Queen know how dangerous this is? Today, all nations are gathered here!

Ye Li was unaware that ever since she saw the gossip, her hands had excitedly wrapped around Mo Chen's neck.

Her eyes sparkled as she watched the gossip on the bridge, while Mo Chen watched her.

Seeing Ye Li nestled so obediently in his arms, and glancing at the two flirting lovers in the distance, Mo Chen seemed to have a sudden thought.

He glanced at them, then at the two people on the bridge.

He thought to himself: Luckily, he always asked his wife before he held her, otherwise he would have been beaten up like those two on the bridge if he hadn't asked.

Ye Li couldn't hear Mo Chen's thoughts. Watching the drama unfold, she was unaware that she and Mo Chen were now much closer than before.

Ye Li, who had been quietly observing, got a huge piece of gossip. She was still wondering how this would end.

The empress slapped the mysterious man across the face.

The man seemed taken aback for a moment, then took the slap squarely.

The empress said something at the end, and then left in a hurry.

Seeing that they had all left, Ye Li felt that it was not advisable to stay here any longer, and just as she was about to signal Mo Chen to leave.

But they discovered that the woman in red was also preparing to leave; it turned out that there was more than one group of people spying on them!

It was because they were looking at it from different angles that Ye Li didn't notice anyone nearby at first.

But when the woman in red saw Mo Chen, she acted as if she had seen a ghost.

Terrified, she fled quickly, but in her panic she tripped and fell, clearly acting rashly.

Ye Li asked, "Have you ever led troops to attack her country before?"
