The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 25
“…Ha. Your Majesty!”
At the sharp voice calling him, Enrique was pulled back to reality once more.
It was Helene who had called out to him.
Her expression was rife with silent pleas for him to quickly rescue her from this situation—anything but offering an apology—but Enrique hardened his face with resolve.
If the investigation confirmed that the lily-palace maids had indeed done this, Helene stood to lose far too much.
He had protected her by every means so far, yet in a single move by the Empress, everything had come to this.
The noble faction would surely spin this as proof of Helene’s incompetence, and he was deeply worried about what lay ahead.
After all, her origins were the greatest obstacle dragging her down.
Of course, Helene had offered valuable counsel on domestic affairs thus far. She had skillfully leveraged her image as a saintess to win the people’s hearts and even maneuvered the temple to benefit the imperial house.
Thus, she wouldn’t be undone by this single incident…
Yet the ministers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs already wore undisguised expressions of exasperation toward Helene.
Put simply, their levels of education were worlds apart.
The Empress had merely been too frail to act until now; once she fully engaged in politics, Helene would have no choice but to step aside.
This gap was especially stark in diplomacy.
Helene had always remained beneath his protection, interacting only with those who favored her.
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
