Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

What’s the Plan? (2)

When Ye Mu noticed she was very quiet, she also felt that what she said had crossed the line a little.
She asked, “What about you? Why does the Zhao Country want to marry their princess away?”

Moreover, Ye Mu heard that this princess was highly favored in the Zhao Country. What could be the reason for marrying her off so far away from home? Did she really like Mo Linyuan that much?

Zhao Mingyu paused for a moment before she quickly said, “At that time, the emperor was looking to choose someone who would win the heart of the general public.
Moreover, the other princesses didn’t want to marry far away from home.
As a result, our princess, being the eldest, took on the responsibility and duty of undertaking this marriage.
Besides, the Mo Country’s emperor is known as the greatest man among men.
I feel that our princess would be happy to marry him!”

Ye Mu couldn’t help but ask, “Do you truly think that Mo Linyuan is a good man?”

Zhao Mingyu frowned, “Your Highness, how could you use His Majesty’s name so disrespectfully like that?”

Ye Mu snorted, “I have always called him by his name!”

Zhao Mingyu regarded Ye Mu intensely, “It would seem that… Your Highness has a really good relationship with His Majesty…?”

Ye Mu said sullenly, “You haven’t answered my question yet.
You… You only met Mo Linyuan once.
How would you know if he’s a good guy?”

Zhao Mingyu recalled when she first saw Mo Linyuan’s outstanding manners and appearance as he spoke… her face felt a little hot as she replied,

“He has such an outstanding character.
Who would possibly think that he is not a good man?”

A good man? What’s so good about him! Ye Mu was truly irritated.
She couldn’t believe that Mo Linyuan had unknowingly seduced and captured the heart of the Zhao Country’s princess!

Ye Mu suddenly exclaimed resentfully, “Just know that when you do get the chance to approach him, he isn’t as good as you think!”

Zhao Mingyu’s eyes flashed.
She laughingly replied, “I am an ordinary foriegn minister.
I’m afraid I wouldn’t get the opportunity to get close to His Majesty…”

Ye Mu replied, “It’s not that hard.
Here, just follow me.”

With that said, she marched ahead with confidence.

Zhao Mingyu hesitated momentarily before she followed her.
It would seem this adopted princess was truly favored.
Since she was disguised as a state official.
Presumably, she is simply following the order of the favored adopted princess.
As such, she wouldn’t be punished, so she continued trailing behind the girl.

In truth, she really wanted to see Mo Linyuan.
Even if it was just one encounter, she was very certain that she could change his mind!

What’s more, Ye Mu herself was directly escorting her.
Firstly, she felt that Zhao Mingyu was very suspicious.
Secondly, she felt this princess had a very naive perception of Mo Linyuan.
That’s to say, Zhao Mingyu was not someone easy to deal with! Once she gets the opportunity to meet Mo Linyuan, if he truly could resist her charms, then Ye Mu wouldn’t be so torn anymore!

Ye Mu finally made up her mind.
And so, suppressing her unease, she took Zhao Mingyu directly into the inner palace.

At this time, Mo Linyuan should be in the Royal Study Room as he still had a lot of daily tasks to finish.

Once Ye Mu escorted her to the destination, she said to the princess, “I can let you meet with Mo Linyuan, but whether you can hold an audience with him is all on you!”

Zhao Mingyu was astonished to see how easy it was to meet him.
Did any of the guards walking to and fro not see them come in?

…Isn’t the status of this simple adopted princess a little bit too formidable?

Zhao Mingyu nodded, “This official is forever grateful to Your Highness.
I now have this one opportunity to discuss what I really need to with His Majesty.”
