Chapter 138 Bold Li Mo'er, do you look down on my Huan'er?
Of course, Chu Xiaohuan also saw it. He could even tell at a glance that the boat was very familiar to him; it was the Fifth Prince's private pleasure boat.
……
"Fifth Prince, I really don't..."
Ever since Li Mo'er learned that he was the fifth prince, she kept her distance from him, afraid of being framed.
I never intended to provoke anyone else, let alone someone from the royal family.
The Fifth Prince had a knowing look on his face. "The Empress Dowager wants to see you."
He dressed up specially when he came out today, choosing a light blue dress for himself and even starting to draw his eyebrows.
He had just left the palace when he ran into his mother, the Queen Mother. He felt there was nothing to hide, so he told her the truth.
He said he had fallen in love with a woman, and the empress immediately ordered him to bring her to the palace that very day.
The Fifth Prince had intended to chat with Li Mo'er a little longer and get to know each other better, but unexpectedly, the Empress had just sent someone to deliver a message.
They said they were worried about his safety and wanted him to bring his men into the palace now.
Therefore, this was the only thing he could tell her.
Li Mo'er seemed to have been struck by lightning, and froze on the spot.
Meeting a prince is already outrageous enough; if she were to meet the empress, she wouldn't know what to do.
The thought of having to kneel and kowtow to the emperor in the dramas I used to watch makes me feel disgusted.
But now that it's my turn, it doesn't seem so bad anymore. After all, if I don't kowtow, the head can't stay on my neck.
Li Mo'er had no choice but to follow the Fifth Prince into the palace.
The two sat facing each other in the carriage, and the Fifth Prince really wanted to talk to Li Mo'er some more.
As a result, Li Mo'er's mind was filled with thoughts of how she should greet people and how she should speak.
She feared she wouldn't be able to leave the palace unscathed.
Shen Zicen followed them from the moment they disembarked from the cruise ship.
Seeing them head towards the palace, Chu Xiaohuan no longer hesitated and immediately pulled Shen Zicen into the carriage, heading towards the palace.
Where is he taking Mo'er?
Shen Zicen had a bad feeling and clenched her hands tightly together.
Chu Xiaohuan's expression was solemn. He knew that if Li Mo'er went to the Empress's presence...
They were to either agree to the bestowed marriage and divorce these husbands, or defy the imperial decree and be beheaded.
He told the coachman to speed up, hoping to stop them before they entered the palace.
But the horses in the Fifth Prince's carriage were all carefully selected; how could they possibly catch up?
When they stopped at the palace gate, Li Mo'er and the Fifth Prince had already disappeared.
Li Mo'er's heart pounded nervously, but her eyes kept darting to both sides.
This place seems a bit different from the Forbidden City; it appears to be larger, and the bricks and tiles are all golden, as if they were plated with gold.
"When the Queen asks you a question, you must answer truthfully."
As they approached the Imperial Study, the Fifth Prince suddenly spoke up, giving her some instructions.
Li Mo'er nodded decisively. Of course she knew that the Empress had definitely investigated her background thoroughly. If she were to lie, she would really lose her head.
The Fifth Prince told Li Mo'er to stand outside the door while he went in first to inform the Empress.
Li Mo'er looked at the distant sky, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes. She hadn't been this nervous even during the college entrance examination.
At least failing the college entrance exam won't kill you, but this could easily result in a gruesome death.
The Fifth Prince asked Li Mo'er to come in with him. When they entered, Li Mo'er was so nervous that she tripped on the threshold even though she lifted her foot.
The Fifth Prince reached out to help her up, which startled Li Mo'er, who quickly stepped back, but not by much, for fear that the Empress would misunderstand.
"You're Li Mo'er?"
Before Li Mo'er could wipe the sweat from her forehead, she heard a deep voice from above.
It seemed to have weathered many storms, yet it possessed an immense majesty that was irresistible.
Li Mo'er could feel her legs trembling uncontrollably.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
She lowered her head, carefully recalling how to reply.
The Empress's sharp eyes scanned Li Mo'er up and down. Although she couldn't see Li Mo'er's expression, the frankness in her tone made her feel much better.
"Don't stand, sit down."
The Empress waved her hand, signaling the palace servants to offer her a seat.
Li Mo'er wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the Empress's tone seemed a little gentler.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Mo'er sat down, not even daring to raise her hand to wipe her sweat, and could only let the sweat drip down her cheeks.
"I heard that you and my Huan'er are of the same mind?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mo'er was so frightened that she immediately raised her head. Without even guessing, she knew that this Huan'er must be the Fifth Prince.
The moment Li Mo'er saw the Empress's face, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes. So beautiful.
"Your Majesty, I am unworthy of such an honor."
The Empress saw that although Li Mo'er spoke humbly, her eyes were clear and stubborn.
"If you divorce those other husbands and marry my Huan'er as your legal husband, I will grant you a mansion and a city."
Li Mo'er's pupils were practically popping out of their sockets. She quickly bowed and replied, "Please, Your Majesty, rescind your decree."
"Bang—"
"How dare you, Li Mo'er! Are you looking down on my Huan'er?"
