  When all the guests had dispersed, the entire Murong Mansion slowly returned to calmness.

  The joy on his face was still unable to be concealed, this time Xue Er entered the palace, almost everyone in the imperial court was trying their best to curry favor with him, even those who had previously supported Xuan Yuan Zhen secretly sent over congratulatory gifts.

  In the future, in this Xuan Yuan dynasty, his words might even be more effective than those of that young emperor.

  At this point, a cold smile involuntarily curled up at the corner of his lips, and a fierce ambition to dominate everything flashed through his eyes.

  "Old master, the guests have all left, it's time to rest early." Lin Ruyan also had a pleased expression on her face. Today was the day her daughter entered the palace, and who knows, maybe in just a few days she would become the empress, then she...

  Her words slightly interrupted Murong Lie's thoughts.

  His eyes slightly turned, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed through. This woman would never understand the subtleties of human interaction, always interrupting him at his most enthusiastic moments.

  Lin Ruyan, however, was completely unaware of this and instead smiled coyly as she approached him, using what she thought was her most charming voice to say, "Master, Xue'er has already entered the palace and it's getting late, why don't you get some rest?"

  Although Murong Lie had not been to her room for many years, today was different. Today was a very, very special day for her, so she thought...

  Murong Lie slightly furrowed his brow, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes as he said indifferently, "What's wrong? Has someone not allowed you to rest?"

  Lin Ruyan's face sank slightly, and such words were more infuriating than a direct refusal. Seeing Murong Lingyun and Liu Wanting also present, she couldn't lose face either. However, she didn't dare to make a scene, so she could only storm off in anger.

  Murong Lie's eyes slightly turned towards the window, through a piece of darkness, looking at the distant light. His eyes also flashed with a hint of light, or perhaps tonight, he still...

  Liu Yu'er couldn't help but follow his gaze, and when she looked at the light in the distance, her body suddenly froze. She had specifically instructed her not to sleep first tonight, as there were important matters to discuss with her later. However, she hadn't expected that...

  "Master, as Yan said, it's indeed late, why don't I serve you in resting instead?" Liu Wan'er withdrew her own intention, hid the worry in her eyes, and spoke with a light smile. However, in the depths of her eyes, a thread of pain flashed by quickly.

  After all these years of marriage, this was her first time being so proactive, hoping only to stall Mu Rong Lie...

  Murong Lie was slightly stunned, his eyes quickly turned to her, and the depths of his pupils were filled with a kind of incredulous astonishment. This woman had followed him for twenty years, yet it was the first time he heard her make a request of her own accord.

  A faint glimmer of delight flashed across his heart, and a hint of hesitation also flickered in his eyes. However, when his gaze turned back to the distance, that hint of hesitation quickly vanished. With a slight apologetic tone, he said, "I have something to do tonight, let's do it tomorrow, I'll accompany you then."

  Liu Yanyi's body stiffened slightly, and a cold glint flashed quickly in her eyes that had drooped slightly. However, when she raised her eyes again, there was still the soft smile on her face as she said softly, "Alright, then I'll go rest first."

  She knew that if she persisted at this moment, it would only lead to Mu Rong Lie's disgust, and there was no benefit for her or Feng Yaotou.

  The eyes of Murong Lingyun standing beside her flashed a hint of coldness, and just as he was about to move forward, he was caught by Liu Wanting without any signs, slightly leaning close to his ear, whispering "Don't get excited."

  At this moment, whether it was her or Murong Lingyun's impulsiveness, would only infuriate Murong Lie, because she was very clear in her heart that Murong Lie's gaze at Feng Yaotou was not ordinary, and he might even want to make up for the satisfaction he didn't get from Feng Yaotou's mother back then on her body.

  The temptation of Feng Ya Tou is indeed too great, too great...

  So at this moment, if they were to stop Murong Lie positively, it would only make him furious and lose the last bit of consideration.

  Upon hearing Liu Wan'er's response, a hint of apology flashed across Murong Lie's eyes. This woman was indeed special to him, and in his heart, there was no one who could replace her. However, at this moment...

  "You all rest first, I still have to go to the study to deal with some things." Murong Lie's eyes seemed to dare not look at Liu Wan'er again, and he said evasively.

  "Alright, then let's get busy first." Yu Wan'er was even more gentle, but Mu Rong Lingyun's face turned darker and darker, and his hands hidden under his clothes clenched tightly.

  Waiting until Mu Rong Lie left, Mu Rong Lingyun's cold eyes suddenly withdrew, and he hastily said, "Mother, you clearly know what he is going to do, why are you still stopping me? Do you want to see...?"

  "Yun'er, don't worry, Mother will definitely not let the tragedy of that year happen again. Mother will save her..."

  "Daughter?" Mu Rong Lingyun's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, and he asked tremulously, "What do you want to do?"

  Liu Wan'er was slightly stunned, quickly regained her composure, and a faint warmth floated back onto her face. She said softly, "Mother knows you're worried, but can you stop him?"

  Murong Lingyun's body suddenly stiffened, could he stop him? Maybe, but the cost was that he had to give up everything, even his mother.

  If it were just a matter of fame and power, he wouldn't care, but...

  "Could it be, could it be that he...?" Murong Lingyun's voice was filled with obvious anger and a chilling ruthlessness. "No, no way, I will not let him stir up even the slightest disturbance."

  "Yun'er, don't worry, Mother has a way." Liu Yuanyu comforted softly, but her voice was heavy with obvious weight. If he couldn't make it, she would have to use the last resort. But if she really used that last resort, then she and Yun'er might...
