‘I can’t let my guard down even for a moment.’
As if understanding her thoughts, the birds continued to stare at Liyan with their sharp eyes. The atmosphere seemed as if they could attack again at any moment.
“The problem wasn’t the crazy birds, but the person who shouldn’t have been there.”
“Uh … Well, that’s not wrong. So what would you like to do?”
Liyan erased his smile and asked.
“If it’s within reason, I’ll accept punishment. It’s my fault I was caught.”
Rasilia’s expression also hardened.
He was too brazen for someone who was caught spying. Moreover, he said that being caught was a mistake, not that spying was wrong.
“You act as if you’ve done nothing wrong.”
“Ah, don’t say that. Your Majesty would not have been naive enough to think that there would be no watchful eyes in the Queen’s Palace. But I stake my sword on it, even if there are watchful eyes, they wouldn’t be half the level of what you usually do to yourself.”
“…….”
If his words were correct, the Emperor and Empress had been watching each other all their lives.
‘Why? If they couldn’t trust each other that much, why did they marry?’
The more she knew, the stranger it seemed.
“But may I ask one thing?”
Liyan pointed at his own clothes out of the blue.
“From what I’ve heard here, it seems you changed your clothes for a meeting this evening … are you going to go dressed like this?”
“I’m more curious as to why you’re questioning my attire. Is that a usual task for the Emperor’s escort knight?”
“No, it’s not that …….”
Liyan paused midsentence.
“……Um, I’m just curious why you changed your mind.”
“Changed my mind?”
“Isn’t it your intention to allow contact now? What made you change all of a sudden?”
“Contact ……?”
Rasilia couldn’t understand Liyan’s words at all.
“What does that mean?”
“Ah, this is bad. Are you saying you don’t remember anything about contact either?”
“As I said, I lost my memory. I don’t remember anything.”
“Hmm …….”
Liyan scrutinized every corner of Rasilia’s expression with piercing eyes.
Then he suddenly grinned.
“Well, that might not be so bad. Most of all, it seems you have changed too.”
Liyan pulled his head closer and whispered in Rasilia’s ear, his lips touching it.
“Listen well, Your Majesty the Empress. For whatever reason, if Your Majesty the Empress has changed your mind, I welcome it. I will forget all the things done so far, so please fulfill your role now.”
Only Rasilia could hear the words that quickly followed.
“But if this is just another fraud, I swear on my sword, Your Majesty the Empress will surely pay the price.”
The words were a clear threat.
Having finished speaking, Liyan quickly pulled away.
“Then I shall withdraw.”
Whizz, tap!
Liyan jumped down. He touched the railing of the lower terrace with his toes and used the recoil to descend further down.
It was an action too swift to attempt anything.
Bad person, bad person!
Scold him, scold him!
But the birds could. As if they had read an unpleasant expression, the birds swiftly chased after Liyan.
“Aagh! You crazy birds! Can’t you stop?”
Since he had grabbed the railing with both hands, Liyan was pecked all over by the birds. His calm hair was messed up. With his hair looking like a magpie’s nest, Liyan disappeared.
“…….”
Rasilia, who had been looking at where Liyan disappeared, finally turned away from the window.
Something was indeed strange here.
Not only could the birds speak, but they were also on her side.
‘Ah, are they on the Empress’s side, not mine? Were these birds an existence belonging to the Empress?’
Again, something unknown had increased.
Among them, what tormented Rasilia the most was contact.
“Your Majesty the Empress. Are you all right?”
Lady Pashad, the Duchess, cautiously asked, glancing around.
“Shall I prepare tea? Or perhaps musicians or poets……,”
“That’s fine. But I have a question.”
“Speak, Your Majesty the Empress.”
Rasilia asked the duchess, who was bowing her head courteously.
“What does contact mean?”
“Amazing news!”
Liyan burst into the Emperor’s office, excited. Again, he used the window rather than the formal door.
According to Liyan, that’s often quicker.
“Shh. His Majesty is still asleep.”
“He’s recovering. He won’t wake up no matter how loud it is. Didn’t you hear me? I have fantastic news.”
No sooner had Liyan closed the window than he grabbed Serben’s shoulder and exclaimed. Serben also began to feel excited, seeing how excited his twin sister was.
That expression couldn’t be bad news. Perhaps they had found evidence that the Empress was real.
“What is it? Tell me quickly.”
“Guess what the Empress wore to change for dinner tonight.”
“No, just tell me. You know I’m not good at that.”
“Pajamas.”
Liyan really wanted to tease Serben more, but her lips were too itchy, so she couldn’t hold back.
“Pajamas? But she wore that during the day too.”
“No, she took out the pajamas she wore on her wedding night.”
“What… what did you say?”
Serben blinked his eyes for a moment.
“That means……,”
The answer came from behind the two.
“Does she want to sleep with me?”
It was Rascal.
“Your Majesty!”
He had opened his eyes at some point and was sitting on the sofa, smiling slowly.
“I’m looking forward to tonight.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
