Xie Xuanji always felt that all the women in the harem loved him. Although Mu Mingtang was cold, she was also likely hurt and cold-hearted due to years of being left out of favor. Xie Xuanji always believed that Mu Mingtang loved him in her heart. After all, she wouldn’t hesitate to imitate the behaviour of another woman if only to make him stay just a second longer.
Only he was cold to Mu Mingtang, but it should never be the other way around. In this life, Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen grew close, which made Xie Xuanji very unhappy. In his heart, she was not worthy of being his main wife and Empress from then on.
Now that Mu Mingtang had kicked him in the vitals and uttered such treasonous words, Xie Xuanji was furious and scolded her, “How dare you! If you do this, aren’t you afraid that I will banish you to the cold palace and make you unfavorable for life?”
Mu Mingtang smiled and felt that it was rather ironic, “You said it as if no one cares. Xie Xuanji, even if you are the Emperor, I will never like you. In my previous life, I felt sick every time I saw you. In fact, I found it ridiculous to watch those women in the harem fighting for you.”
Xie Xuanji’s eyes widened. Obviously, he didn’t expect Mu Mingtang to say such things. Mu Mingtang spoke again without waiting for his reaction, telling him what she had been holding back for a long time in her previous life, “I never liked you in my previous life. I have been acting, but you were the stupid one who took it so seriously for so many years. Do you think you are the only one who treats me as a substitute? In my eyes, you are nothing more than a tool.”
Xie Xuanji was completely shocked. How dare Mu Mingtang! After she finished her rants, she felt relieved. She didn’t even bother to look at Xie Xuanji anymore and turned around to go home.
He had taken Mu Mingtang away while her servant wasn’t paying much attention. In retrospect, the servant must be feeling pretty anxious after not seeing any of the two for a long time. Mu Mingtang took two steps forward before she heard Xie Xuanji behind her say gloomily, “Why? Because you met Xie Xuanchen in this life?”
Mu Mingtang kept walking and didn’t care about the stupid trash behind her. Xie Xuanji slowly recovered from the attack on his jewels and stood up against the wall with reddened eyes, “You’re truly in love with him? Let me tell you, he will bring bad luck to his parents in this life, for he is destined to not live a long life.”
Mu Mingtang frowned, instinctively uneasy about the way this sentence sounded. She turned around and looked at Xie Xuanji warily, “What do you mean?”
“Don’t you know that the whole family of the Xie Residence was killed by Xie Xuanchen? No one told him to sneak out of the capital and arouse the suspicion of Emperor Gong. His mother, in the end, was killed by his actions.”
Mu Mingtang was stunned on the spot and felt that her blood was cold. After an unspecified amount of time, she finally reacted and ran to the Xie Residence.
No wonder Xie Xuanji’s first sentence was ‘Come with me’! No wonder he came to her today. Madam Yin was in trouble?
He clearly knew that Madam Yin would die, but he didn’t care about it and was going to even watch her get into trouble? How could such a person be worthy of being an Emperor?!
