The Deposed Empress and Her New Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 121
The Emperor did not reply immediately.
It was because he himself stood to gain the most—if Duke Seiren died, he intended to seize his military power.
But if Lucius truly was of the Archduke’s bloodline, as Lady Seiren had questioned, the matter changed entirely.
“Judging by your gaze, it seems your resentment has reached its peak.”
Yet the Emperor did not hide his domineering stare toward Lady Seiren as he warned her to watch her words.
Then, pressing a finger to his temple, he gestured for her to leave at once.
Understanding this meant he couldn’t bear even the sight of her, the Chief Steward approached Lady Seiren and spoke courteously.
“His Majesty appears greatly fatigued from today’s afternoon council. Perhaps it would be best to take your leave now.”
Despite the rather rude dismissal, Lady Seiren maintained her smile and bowed respectfully to the Emperor.
She then turned gracefully and exited the study. The Empress, who had been casting furtive glances at the Emperor, followed her out as well.
“You may go too.”
The Emperor waved his hand dismissively toward the Chief Steward, who had been about to approach him.
“…Yes, Your Majesty.”
Alone in the study, the Emperor mulled over the current situation to calm his turbulent thoughts.

My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
