Chapter 453 - 453 Probe

Translations Editor:

Li Xiaoran was a little flattered.

No matter how capable she was, she was still a commoner.

Li Xiaoran didn’t expect the leader of the government to speak up for her. This was really too surprising.

To be honest, Li Xiaoran was very happy to hear this from the emperor.

“Thank you for your kindness! However, it’s better to take revenge myself! Don’t worry, I can deal with it now. When I can’t deal with it, I’ll ask you to support me!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

This was the first time the emperor had taken the initiative to offer help but was rejected. This feeling was quite novel.

One had to know that all these years, whenever something had happened to the children of his subjects, all of them wished he could stand up for them.

He really didn’t expect to be rejected when he offered help for the first time in his life.

“In that case, I’ll let you practice first! I wonder what you’ll do?” the emperor asked curiously.

After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she asked.

“Prime Minister Yan is still useful to you, right?”

Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

Speaking of which, the emperor didn’t know what to think about Prime Minister Yan.

It was undeniable that Prime Minister Yan was a good Prime Minister. With him around, it would be much easier for the emperor to manage the government.

Prime Minister Yan had some shortcomings, but he was willing to endure them.

After all, the country was more important. As long as the Prime Minister could work for the government and the people, as an emperor, he could tolerate those things that made him uncomfortable.

The emperor’s emotions naturally couldn’t be hidden from Li Xiaoran. Li Xiaoran already knew what to do.

“You don’t have to say anything else. I understand! Don’t worry, I know my limits. Nothing will happen to the Prime Minister. I won’t spread word of the matter to others. I’m only targeting Yan Xiaoqiao! Of course, if anyone from the Prime Minister’s family attacks me, I won’t be polite! I want to make this clear to you first!”

When Luo Han heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was immediately amused. “Why? If the Prime Minister attacks you, are you going to counterattack?”

“Of course. It’s rude not to reciprocate the favor!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile, “I’ve always been kind to others! But this doesn’t mean that I’m afraid of trouble! If anyone really bullies me, I’ll give them an eye for an eye!” “You think you can outwit the prime minister?” the emperor raised his eyebrows as he asked with amusement.

Speaking of which, he had argued with Prime Minister Yan for so many years because of many things.

Both sides had wins and losses.

It could be said that even he, the emperor, only had a 50-50 chance of winning against the Prime Minister. He wondered where the little girl in front of him got her confidence from.

“It’s fine as long as I try! As the saying goes, youth knows no fear! I’m still young, so even if I lose, it won’t be embarrassing. I still have the courage and time to start over! Therefore, I’m not afraid of failing. I’m more afraid that I won’t have the courage to fight back when I’m bullied by others!” Li Xiaoran said.

When the emperor heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he didn’t feel as relaxed as before.

“I really didn’t expect such words to come out of your mouth! As expected, you can’t judge a book by its cover! I underestimated you!”

When Li Xiaoran heard the emperor’s words, she suddenly laughed playfully.

“There’s no need to take some things so seriously. Just treat it as watching a show! Speaking of which, you rarely watch dramas, right?! During this period of time, I’ll let you watch a drama!”

When Luo Han heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was immediately amused.

“Sure, I love watching drama!”

Although he said that, the emperor didn’t think that Li Xiaoran would succeed.

Li Xiaoran could naturally sense the emperor’s emotions. Thus, she smiled and stopped talking about this topic.

After eating his fill, the emperor left.

He was traveling incognito and no one in the royal family knew that he had already left.

In order to prevent any accidents, it was better to slip back quickly.

Besides, he was already very satisfied with the delicious barbecue he had today!

After the emperor left, Li Xiaoran left the cleaning up to Zi Cheng, Zi Zheng, and Wu Qinghe, while she pulled Luo Cheng to the study.

“Husband, did you encounter something in the royal family?” Li Xiaoran asked.

Luo Cheng nodded at Li Xiaoran.

“You’re right. I bumped into Prime Minister Yan in the imperial study as soon as I entered the royal family. Prime Minister Yan planned to get the emperor to bestow marriage to me and Yan Xiaoqi!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she looked enlightened.

“It seems that I’ve really underestimated Prime Minister Yan’s shamelessness!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he thought of something.

“Li Xiaoran, why do you think Prime Minister Yan did this?”

“Of course it’s because of the change in the emperor’s attitude towards you! You might not feel it, but as someone who has interacted with the emperor for a long time, Prime Minister Yan is naturally very sensitive to the change in the emperor’s attitude. This sly old fox naturally saw through your potential, so he wanted to place Yan Xiaoqiao by your side!” Li Xiaoran had already seen through everything.

Luo Cheng was a little confused and he didn’t quite understand what Li Xiaoran was saying.

“You mean, Prime Minister Yan thinks that I’m very likely to inherit the throne?” Luo Cheng wasn’t stupid. After thinking about it carefully, he quickly remembered something.

“I’m afraid we’ll be envied even more this time! After being treated so well by your father, we’ll naturally attract the hatred of other people! Sigh!” Li Xiaoran sighed as she said, “Why do I feel like we’ve gotten ourselves in trouble?”

“No, we’ve always been in trouble. It’s just that we’re trying our best to escape! Unfortunately, many people won’t let us off and want to drag us down, so we might as well come back and deal with them once and for all!” Luo Cheng said with a smile.

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she also laughed.

“Alright! Since they won’t let go of us, let’s capture them too! Yan Xiaoqiao will be the first to bear the brunt. Husband, will your heart ache if I punish her too harshly?”

“Will my heart ache? Of course! My heart aches for you. You could have lived a carefree life, but you keep getting dragged down by me!” Luo Cheng walked forward as he said apologetically.

“We’re a family. If we work together, we’ll definitely be able to create our own world!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile..
