Yun Bixue was reluctant to give up. Since she had already come here, she wanted Majesty Huang to step in.

If Majesty Kang were to continue wielding his power over the imperial family, it would be difficult for them to deal with the other n.o.ble families. The only other thing she could do was to attack these families.

However, the citizens would also suffer.

If she wanted to completely eradicate some of the issues, she truly had to be prepared.

“Madam Xie, for Hao'er's sake, I won't reconsider your offer.”

Xiajun Yanli's voice was cold and indifferent. As Yun Bixue listened, she felt extremely anxious.

She covered her stomach with one hand. Although she was already tired, countless thoughts ran through her mind. She didn't want this to be a wasted trip.

She couldn't imagine when Xie Limo would let her out of the house again if he were to find out that she was here!

Looking at Yun Bixue who refused to leave, Xiajun Yanli said calmly, “Madam Xie, if you don't leave, I'll get my guards to send you out.”

A sudden thought popped up in Yun Bixue's head. She clenched her jaw and asked, “Majesty Huang, what are you worried and scared about? Or are you afraid that Majesty Kang would find out about Hao'er's background?”

Xiajun Yanli's expressions turned from elegant to solemn. Looking at Yun Bixue, he raised his voice in disbelief. “How dare you?”

“My guess is indeed right. Majesty Huang, you are afraid that Majesty Kang will find out about Hao'er's background. Am I right? Wouldn't that be great? Majesty Huang, you said that you did everything for your younger brother. Would knowing about Hao'er's existence make it easier for Majesty Kang to continue living a wonderful life? He is a responsible person and will continue to be one for the child. Majesty Huang, you don't need to worry at all. You don't wish to enter the imperial family because you're afraid that Majesty Kang will take Hao'er away from you.”

Xiajun Yanli glared at Yun Bixue in shock. He tightened his fists and said, “Madam Xie, you're indeed clever.”

When Yun Bixue noticed the rigid and pained expression on Xiajun Yanli's face, she couldn't bear to see it any longer. She clenched her jaw and took in a deep breath before persuading, “Majesty Huang, why are you doing this to yourself? Even if Majesty Kang were to find out about the truth, Hao'er will still be your child. If you really like children, you can marry someone and have your own.”

“Huh, marry someone?” Xiajun Yanli scoffed mockingly at himself. His face was difficult to read.

Yun Bixue gasped. “Majesty Huang, could you possibly be in love with Hao'er's mother too?”

“How dare you?”

The middle-aged man who had led her in strode towards her and chided Yun Bixue loudly, “Madam Xie, please do not make any wild guesses.”

Yun Bixue lowered her head and bowed apologetically. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I merely wanted Majesty Huang to clear his head. As part of the imperial family, you ought to be responsible for the country, right? Are you really going to neglect the country and avoid everything?”

Xiajun Zihao seemed to hear the argument and ran over. “Father, Auntie, please stop arguing.”

Looking at how frail Hao'er appeared, Yun Bixue's heart ached. She walked towards Xiajun Zihao and embraced him. “Hao'er, don't worry. I was just discussing some matters with your father. Take care of yourself. I'm leaving.”

Xiajun Zihao grabbed Yun Bixue's hand, reluctant to let her go.

Yun Bixue gently held his hand and said, “Don't worry. You can always visit me anytime.”

After speaking, Yun Bixue waved at Yun Dong, who rushed over to help her out of the room.

After disappearing from Xiajun Yanli's line of sight, Yun Bixue paused in her tracks. Turning around, she said, “Majesty Huang, I still hope that you'll reconsider what I said.”
