“Your Highness…”
However, Lilyss’s response somehow seems unusual. The guy who was slightly dark and serious gradually brightened up as if impressed by my request for help. His face brightened, and he approached with sparkling eyes.
“What happened that someone who has never asked for my favor is doing so now?”
Immediately, he wiped under his chin with his index finger, looking joyful. Wondering what he’s excited about and why he’s eagerly coming closer, I raised my head behind my tilted hair, wearing a puzzled expression while holding my fist, asking what he was saying.
Considering that he might say something strange if I stay silent, I even raised one eyebrow.
“What’s this? It’s not a request; it’s an order.”
It’s quite amusing. In my past life, I was an emperor, and now as a princess, what is there that I can’t do? If it’s just helping, then help, and if it seems impossible, at least provide a reason, isn’t that right?
“Understood. What do you want me to do?”
Meanwhile, Lilyss, in a smart and quick-witted manner, behaved playfully and hid his mischievousness. I wanted to pat him on the head for his ability to read people’s minds and smoothly shift his attitude. He seemed to understand people’s hearts well and changed his posture skillfully.
“It’s a very simple task.”
Not that I really wanted to hit him, but that was just how I felt. If Lilyss wasn’t the right person for this, it wouldn’t be worth wasting energy. Moreover, how silly of me to do such things at my age.
Anyway, I got straight to the point.
“You just need to assist me in examining the situation outside the imperial city.”
It should be easy for you, right? I muttered these words silently in my mind.
“I plan to check if there are any rumors related to the western coastal area in the capital.”
You probably already know why I’m doing this without me having to say it. He heard directly from Hecate how suspicious the situation in the western border area was.
“To do that, we need to go where people gather the most.”
As if to prove this, Lilyss praised me for being smart and then laid out his thoughts.
“It’s best to go to the main street, where there’s the most compensation for information.”
Soon, he wiped his face with his left hand, then carefully added a word.
“That’s right. Merchants receive news faster than anyone else.”
In places where people are densely packed, rumors may spread absurdly, but because those who travel around various places gather there, it’s perfect for getting interesting and useful information if you move around well.
Also, I occasionally took the children on inspection trips in my past life, so even if Lilyss didn’t know the usefulness of the place, he couldn’t help but know.
And, wearing the disguise of a merchant, there are those who sell information for money. How outwardly ordinary yet inwardly chaotic a place it is. The main street was like a hub for strategies.
Who knows? Maybe, besides information about the western border area, I can gather more rare news.
“Hmm… First, let’s collect information step by step, and then gradually make our move to inspect the situation.”
Who knows? Perhaps, besides information about the western border area, I might come across some other rare news.
“Hmm… Let’s first collect information step by step, and then gradually make our move.”
“That’s right.”
I nodded.
“In that case, it would be faster for Your Highness to directly inform Her Majesty.”
No, isn’t that an answer without much forethought? I said, tapping the desk lightly.
“Did you think I wouldn’t know about it?”
The guy who knows how much of a fool his father and Hecate are for their incredible daughter made my head ache.
Since the plan seems ineffective, he agreed that he would let me go if I explained the reason. I sighed and washed my face with both hands.
To the eyes of these two who don’t even know that I was an emperor in my past life, I seemed like an innocent ten-year-old daughter. Responsible Jeff and Hecate couldn’t just let me go out aimlessly. It was evident that they would strongly oppose, claiming it’s dangerous.
“Then the conversation will be quicker.”
So, when I called them to the classroom to find a way to sneak out secretly, I frowned because I couldn’t understand what they were saying.
“Your Highness, asking someone for help is not something to be ashamed of!”
Upon hearing that, Lilyss grinned and showed a strange hand gesture, creating a heart shape with his index and thumb, placing it over his heart. It gave me goosebumps.
“Try saying you want to go play in the capital with a lovely and cute expression like mine.”
If there were teardrops in the corners of his eyes, Lilyss, who claimed that Jeff would easily give in if he saw this, said there was no time to waste and suggested going to Jeff right away.
“Wait a minute! Think about it again! There must be a better way!”
If it goes like this, there was no reason to call Lilyss. I believed that he would come up with a way to go out without Jeff and Hecate knowing, even if it wasn’t a gap in time like before!
Boom!
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…?
