The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 60
The Imperial Palace I returned to was slightly chaotic.
I took a day to rest properly before receiving the backlog of reports—given all that had happened to me on the cruise, there was no shortage of incidents here either.
“Demons appeared in the capital?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. It’s far from the palace, but the capital has never seen demons before. That’s why there’s such an uproar now.”
Mrs. Bertolt replied with a worried expression.
“The newly appointed knights of the Crusade suffered heavy injuries. Sir Noert took only his elite knights and left three days ago after a request for reinforcements… but he hasn’t returned yet.”
These novice knights had only just received their knighthoods and lacked any real combat experience—especially none had ever fought to protect civilians in an urban setting.
No wonder they were flustered… and with the Emperor absent, proper orders likely couldn’t even be issued.
Ultimately, all this chaos was practically Enrique’s doing.
I clicked my tongue and gestured to Charlotte, who sat across from me.
“Bring me some paper and a quill, would you?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Here you go!”
“Then… write a brief greeting to Sir Derek. Also add that if he needs anything, he should tell the servant delivering this letter.”
All because of Enrique, Derek was the one suffering.
Even though autumn was slowly approaching, the daytime heat would still be exhausting.
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…?
