Seeing Mu Shengze glaring menacingly at Mu Yanming, he threw another memorial at him. This time, the hard corner of the memorial hit Mu Yanming's forehead, and blood started to gush out.
He raised his hand to cover his forehead, looking aggrieved. "Father, I won't dare to do it again. Please give me another chance."
Mu Linyi averted his eyes. Concubine Li got up and massaged his temples to relieve his headache.
"Prince of Rui, it's not that I'm being nosy, but what you did today was really ill - considered. Even I, a woman, know that the envoys' status is special as it is directly related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. As the saying goes, even in times of war, the envoys are not to be beheaded. Let alone when the two countries are on good terms."
Mu Shengze, who was already fuming after being beaten by the emperor, got even angrier when he heard Concubine Li, a mere concubine, criticizing him.
He stared at Concubine Li and shouted, "Your Ladyship Concubine Li has quite the imposing manner. Are you trying to lecture me?"
Concubine Li was startled by his voice and hid back in Mu Linyi's arms.
Mu Linyi hugged Concubine Li, who was like a little kitten, and looked at Mu Shengze.
"What? Do you mean Concubine Li is not qualified to lecture you?"
Seeing that the emperor was clearly protecting Concubine Li, Mu Shengze suddenly remembered that his mother was still under house - arrest because of Concubine Li.
He quickly changed his tone and smiled. "Of course I wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to Your Ladyship Concubine Li. It's just that the harem should not interfere in politics. Even the queen mother has no reason to be constantly in the imperial study."
Mu Linyi snorted. "The Prince of Rui has lost his virtue. He is to have his salary deducted for three months and be confined to his mansion to reflect on his mistakes. No one is allowed to visit the Prince of Rui's mansion."
Mu Shengze staggered back a few steps before regaining his balance.
He looked at Mu Yanming, hoping that Mu Yanming would say a few good words for him. But Mu Yanming seemed not to see the pleading in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he turned and walked out without waiting for the emperor's response.
Mu Shengze looked at his father. Mu Linyi just covered his eyes with his hand, pretending not to see Mu Yanming's behavior.
Mu Shengze couldn't help sneering in his heart. He always knew that Mu Yanming was extremely arrogant and looked down on everyone. But he didn't expect that Mu Yanming would still act so arrogantly in front of the emperor.
He didn't expect that his father, whom he had always feared, had endured Mu Yanming's provocation for so long. Was Mu Yanming really that powerful?
He was in a daze when suddenly he heard Mu Linyi's roar.
"Get out! What are you standing there for? You annoy me! Get out!"
He scrambled out of the imperial study. When he came out, he saw a figure in ginger - yellow from afar.
Mu Shengze looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly walked towards the figure.
Concubine Yi was just aimlessly taking a stroll when suddenly someone grabbed her.
She was so startled that she almost screamed. Fortunately, Mu Shengze covered her mouth in time.
But when she saw Mu Shengze's face, she was even more frightened.
She stomped hard on Mu Shengze's foot. While he was covering his foot in pain, she took several steps back.
"You... you..."
Seeing that she stammered but couldn't say anything, Mu Shengze asked, "You what?"
Hearing Mu Shengze's voice, she finally let out a sigh of relief. But then she realized that it was even more dangerous with Mu Shengze around.
She nervously looked around.
"What happened to you?"
Seeing the disgust in Concubine Yi's eyes, he stepped forward and grabbed her slender waist, pulling her towards him. "Scared you, huh?"
When his body touched Concubine Yi's soft body, he immediately had a strange feeling.
He said in an ambiguous tone, "Well, haven't seen each other for so long. Do you miss me?"
She struggled hard to break free from his embrace, but his strength was too great. She had no choice but to raise her hand to push against his chest to keep him away.
"Your Highness, it's daytime and this is the palace."
She reminded him. But Mu Shengze had lust in his heart and didn't care at this moment.
He leaned forward and was about to kiss her neck.
Concubine Yi took the opportunity and kicked him between the legs.
He covered the painful area with his hand and loosened his hold on Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi took the opportunity to take several steps back. "Your Highness, the Prince of Rui, I'm not afraid of death, but I have my whole family to consider. So, I hope Your Highness will behave yourself when we meet in the future."
After saying that, she swayed her hips and quickly walked towards her palace.
Mu Shengze watched her back and spat. "Bitch. Now you're pretending to be reserved with me."
He wiped his forehead and found that the blood had dried.
He angrily walked out of the palace.
When he reached the palace gate, he found Min Feiyan stretching her neck and anxiously waiting for him.
"Why are you here?"
He walked up to Min Feiyan and asked in a soft voice.
When Min Feiyan saw Mu Shengze's face covered in blood, her eyes immediately turned red.
She raised her hand, wanting to wipe the blood off his face, but was afraid of hurting him.
"Your Highness, let's go back to the mansion first. I'll treat your wound after we get back."
Mu Shengze nodded and helped Min Feiyan into the sedan chair.
Sitting in the carriage, his mind was still filled with the image of Concubine Yi's slender and boneless waist.
He couldn't help but recall the unforgettable night with Concubine Yi.
That feeling was something he had never experienced with Min Feiyan.
He looked at Min Feiyan. She was lowering her head, holding his hand, and seemed to be lost in thought.
Because of her physical condition, he had always accommodated Min Feiyan in terms of sexual matters.
Before, since he had never been with other women, he didn't feel any difference between women.
But since that day when he got drunk in the palace and walked into the wrong palace gate, and had that unforgettable night with Concubine Yi.
He finally knew that there was such a huge difference between women.
That night with Concubine Yi made him feel truly released and made him feel like a real man.
Ever since then, every time they had sex, he saw Concubine Yi's face in front of him.
Even in his dreams, it was always Concubine Yi...
Moreover, since that time, he found that he didn't want to touch Min Feiyan more and more. Every time he couldn't enjoy himself fully, while she looked as if she was about to die, which really turned him off.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
She called him twice before he came back to his senses.
"Ah?"
She smiled and helped him. "Your Highness, what are you thinking so intently about?"
He shook his head and leaned against the cushion on one side. The image of Concubine Yi's charming smile still lingered in his mind.
Min Feiyan saw the involuntary smile on his face. She clenched her fists so tightly that her long fingernails dug into her flesh. But on her face, she still maintained a proper smile.
"Your Highness, is she really that good? Making you so obsessed with her."
Hearing Min Feiyan's words, he suddenly sat up straight.
"What did you say?"
