Chapter 216

“His Majesty cares a lot about you, so you must not let him down! Fighting!” Ye Mu was the one who taught them how to use the word fighting.

Ye Mu couldn’t say anything before she was kicked out of the room. She was feeling very sullen because her life was very difficult since Mo Linyuan ruled over the entire imperial palace.

The emperor’s imperial study.

“Oh? You’re finally willing to come here?”

Mo Linyuan’s tall and slender body blocked Ye Mu from entering the study. She didn’t know what he had eaten, and even though he was merely four years older than Ye Mu, Mo Linyuan was much taller than her. Ye Mu had to admit that she didn’t have good genetics. Generally, most twelve-year-old maidservants in the imperial palace were taller than her too.

Mo Linyuan smiled when he noticed that she was daydreaming again. He leaned towards her and kissed her ear.

Ye Mu immediately snapped out of her trance, covered her ears, and jumped backward!

“What are you doing?!”

Mo Linyuan stepped back and smiled gently when he saw how vigilant she looked when she jumped backward. “Come in, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

The surrounding servants pretended not to have seen them blatantly flirting with one another. When Ye Mu arrived at the study room, the servants had all stepped out and closed the door. Ye Mu was like a delicious plate of roasted lamb as she was pushed into the guest’s table to be eaten clean.

Today, Mo Linyuan wore a white dragon robe. He didn’t like the gold color, so he usually wore light-colored clothes unless he had to attend court or a major ceremony. He also didn’t like to tie his hair. Once court ended, his hair was loosely tied in the back. Looking from the back, he looked like an immortal fairy.

But when he turned around, he gave off a different aura. He looked more devilishly charming from the front when he smiled. Originally, he should have drafted for women to be selected as his concubines last year, but he refused. Many women in the capital were heartbroken when they heard the news. Some young ladies even refused to marry because they wanted to wait for the emperor to draft young women into the imperial palace.

Mo Linyuan always appeared gentle and aloof to the outside world, but he acted like a big bad wolf in front of Ye Mu. He would take small advantages of her from time to time. Ye Mu was frightened all day and night because of this; she couldn’t sleep well anymore!

By now, Ye Mu was no longer Mo Linyuan’s opponent. Because she couldn’t use her inner strength and could only rely on her martial arts skills, she was helpless in front of Mo Linyuan. She wanted to beat herself up for teaching Mo Linyuan everything she knew. If she hadn’t done that; then she wouldn’t be in such a passive position now. The apprentice had now surpassed the master.

“Come here.”

Mo Linyuan waved at Ye Mu, beckoning her to come over.

Although Ye Mu was unwilling, she had no choice, but she slowly moved towards Mo Linyuan. Mo Linyuan asked her to sit down and then pulled her onto his lap. Seeing how effortlessly he had done that, it was obvious that this had happened many times.

“I didn’t sleep well last night, so my head hurts a lot today. A bunch of the officials quarreled with one another during court today, and I barely had any reaction because of this headache.

Ye Mu was curious, so she couldn’t help but ask, “Why are they arguing?”

Due to Mo Linyuan’s brilliant methods when it came to dealing with people, few people dared to act so disrespectfully in front of him. It seemed like something big was going to happen.

Mo Linyuan stretched his hand and squeezed her nose gently.

“You should be asking me why I didn’t sleep well last night.”

Ye Mu burst into tears in her heart while she maintained an unwavering smile on her face. She quickly cheered herself up and fawned over him.

“Why didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Mo Linyuan narrowed his phoenix eyes and suddenly smiled coldly, “Shouldn’t you worry about me right now since I’m having a headache?”
