Chapter 27
Emperor Yuan had not managed to rejoice over Yan Ge’s confession when he heard her say: "But it's merely a fondness . We won’t meet again in the future, and it will be forgotten after a time . Ming Lan is different . He cared for me since young and looked after me as if I was a sister . He is my one and only loved one . I cannot leave him . ”

She seemed to have given herself enough reasons and courage . Raising her head once more, she carried on her confrontation: "Your Majesty has so many women, and one more of me will make no difference . But Ming Lan only has me as his fiancée, and I too am his sole loved one . ”
Emperor Yuan was already furious, but Yan Ge’s concise words angered him further and the grip on her jaw tightened .
He glared at the woman who wanted to run after provoking him and had no regret or sadness for doing so . At this moment, he really hated that he could not break her to pieces .
She was nothing more than a woman . How dare she, how dare she treat him like this!
But when faced with her stubborn gaze and upright back, he could not utter a word of reprimand .
Unable to stand it, he released her turned away .
He really feared that he would lose his mind and strangle her to death if he stayed any longer .

Emperor Yuan did not return that night .
When it grew dark, Yan Ge led a horse out of the stables to leave, but was blocked by a hidden guard .
"Your master has urged me to leave . " Yan Ge said: "You may ask him if you have any questions . "
Emperor Yuan, who was standing by the window upstairs, nearly vomited blood from her words .
When did he drive her away?
At first he wanted the hidden guard to bring her a cloak, but after listening to her, he even had the urge not to let her go and just beat her .
He signaled for the guard to let her pass .
He feared that if he stayed with her for another moment, he would not stop himself from dragging her back to the palace .

Still, he never thought of truly letting her go .
He instructed two hidden guards to follow her in secret .
As early as last night, he had ordered people to go investigate the Luo family’s third daughter .
Was she lying to him?
He stayed awake all night, but his mind remained muddle, unable to think things through .
She was someone else’s woman, and that person was from the Ming family he hated most .
He wanted to go on a murderous rampage just thinking about it .

However, he could not .
He is the emperor .
He has to maintain his dignity . How can he grab a subject’s woman?
If what she said was true, then they have already committed a great transgression .
If this matter is known to others, the first person to be executed will be her . Even if he ignored everything and saved her, she would be condemned in speech and in writing .
He does not want her to die . There were countless women in the palace and countless more in the world, but if she died, he would not find a second her . He could not take that risk .
Emperor Yuan 's hand unwittingly rubbed the unremarkable copper coin in his hand .
She hung this coin around his neck that night on the Nightless street .
When they became more sincere with one another other, he noticed that she never removed her pendant . It always stuck close to her body .
She likes him!
This idea finally brought clarity to his chaotic thoughts .
Suddenly he felt very grateful . Fortunately, she had not yet married Ming Lan . She was not yet a real wife of the Ming family .
If what she said turned out to be true, then the matter could still be considered at length, not as something that could not be turned around .
Yan Ge got rid of the hidden guards sent by Emperor Yuan and traveled day and night to converge with her Ming Army . The team then returned to the border with a grand load .
"General, this is the dagger you lost in the bandits’ lair . " An attendant handed her the dagger she gifted to the emperor .
She stroked the dagger in her hand thoughtfully . Is Emperor Yuan going to speed up his plans to kill Ming Lan this time?
