Song Lingyi finished her shower and dressed neatly, waiting for Mu Yefan to arrive.

Mu Yefan had indeed come, but he did not look happy, or even angry.

"Chenqie greets Your Majesty. You have finally arrived."

After the palace maids and eunuchs left his side, Mu Yefan finally asked as he looked at Song Lingyi, "What's wrong with that face?"

"Of course it was made for the emperor by the Chenqie."

"Why did you do it for Xiao Bai?" Mu Yefan pinched Song Lingyi's hand, causing Song Lingyi to feel pain as he retreated a few steps. "Your majesty, what are you doing? Chenqie only made a bowl of noodles, are you really going to treat me like this?"

"To be honest, I don't have much patience."

"It was taught to me by Bai Yixuan, she said that the emperor likes to eat, she knew that the emperor doesn't like to eat, so she wanted to teach me how to cook, but I was born with no culinary skills, so I learned a bowl of noodles in the end. I should have known earlier, that this Bai Yixuan was not vicious in her thoughts, and didn't really want to help me, it was just so that when I cooked for the emperor, I would only think of her."

Mu Yefan didn't speak for a long time, and his expression seemed to have eased up a bit. He looked at Song Lingyi with a complicated expression, "Don't try to guess Xiao Bai's thoughts."

"Your majesty, that woman doesn't even love you. I've already told her to be your concubine, and she didn't want to do it herself. You can't possibly think that I forced her away, right?"

Mu Yefan shook his head, "Your level is not enough to force Xiao Bai away."

"Your Majesty, you're blatantly looking down on me …" Song Lingyi could not bear to listen any longer. Ever since he had married Mu Yefan, he had not had a single day of peace of mind, because this man's thoughts had never been on him.

"Let's have a good talk."

After this conversation, it was actually Song Lingyi who became speechless. She really did not think that Mu Yefan would do such a thing for Bai Yixuan.

Qian Ning looked at Song Lingyi who was seated inside the house and asked, "Empress, did the Emperor tell you something? Why do you look so bad? "

"Qian Ning, you don't know, Mu Yefan is a madman. I really shouldn't have married him."

"What happened?" Qian Ning was a little anxious.

Song Lingyi thought for a while, she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She looked at Qian Ning and sighed, "In the future you will know, I cannot say it now, if I were to know, then my life would be lost …"

Qian Ning felt that the matter was definitely not simple, but now that Duke Xuan's power had been weakened a lot by Mu Yefan, Mu Yefan becoming more important to Mu Beiche, there was no longer anything related to the Song Family.

Mu Beiche suddenly received a message that Mu Yefan was inviting him to the palace to eat. Recently, Mu Beiche and Mu Yefan had not interacted much, and because Bai Yixuan was here a while ago, Mu Beiche did not dare to disturb Mu Yefan and Bai Yixuan.

In fact, Mu Beiche was extremely interested in a woman like Bai Yixuan. If it wasn't for the fact that Mu Yefan liked her, Mu Beiche felt that he would probably not forget to meet her and pursue Bai Yixuan like how she chased after her.

Back then, the impression Bai Yixuan gave him was already enough to move Mu Beiche's heart, but she endured it completely because of Mu Yefan, and now, he completely understood that regardless of whether it was herself or Xiao Ziyi, there was no chance at all for him to win against Bai Yixuan. Everyone could tell that Bai Yixuan liked Mu Yefan, but Bai Yixuan refused to stay behind for Mu Yefan.

Maybe Bai Yixuan would never stop for anyone.

After Bai Yixuan left, Mu Beiche did not dare to see Mu Yefan, other than the imperial court, although his own Ninth Brother did not seem to be out of place, Mu Beiche felt that Mu Yefan was definitely holding back and was looking for him today. Mu Beiche, on the other hand, felt that something big was going to happen.

"Royal Brother." Mu Beiche still anxiously entered the Imperial Palace and asked Xiao Shunzi. Only after knowing that Mu Yefan did not look abnormal did he finally heave a sigh of relief and went in to shout.

Mu Yefan did not speak, he only waved at Mu Yefan, he did not expect Mu Yefan to actually look for him to eat, only that the food was a little simple, there were only two bowls of noodles.

"Come and try it …" Mu Yefan said, without a doubt, Mu Beiche sat down and started to eat the noodles.

After eating, Mu Beiche changed his view of the bowl of noodles, because the noodles were indeed very tasty, "Which imperial chef did you cook this?

"This was made by the empress." After all, everyone knew that the relationship between the Emperor and Queen was not good, and the Emperor rarely cared about the Queen, but now that he was eating the noodles made by the Queen, Mu Beiche felt that it was neither good nor bad if he did not eat the noodles.

"Royal Brother, you are …"

"This is what Xiao Bai taught the Queen."

"What's going on?" Mu Beiche was confused, why did Bai Yixuan teach Song Lingyi how to make noodles?

"Bei Che, I actually have something that I want to tell you."

"Please speak, Royal Brother."

"I want to return this throne to you."

Mu Beiche directly knelt down, "Royal Brother, have you heard some rumors? Bei Che's ambition is not here, if there really is someone that speaks to Royal Brother like that, Royal Brother, please immediately execute this person."

Mu Yefan laughed and personally helped Mu Beiche up, "Bei Che, there's no one here to gossip with me, whoever dares to speak ill of you, I'll definitely kill them. I'm the one who spoke sincerely earlier, I'm going to ask you now, are you willing or not?"

"Why did Royal Brother ask that?"

"You know, Xiao Bai has left again. She said that she likes me, but it's not because I want to abandon the freedom that belongs to her. Actually, I heard from her a long time ago that I never was able to give her the love she wanted, which was originally a regret.

"Royal Brother, are you going to look for Xiao Bai?"

I know everything you have done to me, and I am very grateful that you did not vent your anger on me because of that incident. Right now, my only wish is for you to become the emperor, and if it was not for you having an additional me, you would definitely be sitting on that throne. "

"Royal Brother... "I …"

"Bei Che, if you don't want to, then I won't force you. It's just that in the entire imperial family, you're the most suitable person. I know I'm very selfish, sorry."

"Royal Brother, if you say that you don't have any thoughts about the throne, then that is definitely a lie. I believe that every prince has this kind of thought, I am no exception either, but if it's Royal Brother who is the emperor, I don't have any intention of becoming the emperor. But since the Royal Brother has other plans, Beichuan is willing to share the worries for the Royal Brother."

Mu Yefan's face revealed a joyous expression, "Bei Che, brother has let you down and never gave you anything."

"To be able to see Ninth Brother again, actually Bei Che is already very happy. I had originally thought that Royal Brother wanted revenge and the throne, but now it seems that the most important person in Royal Brother's heart is still Xiao Bai."

"I also let Xiao Bai down, and it's because hatred has addicted my mind. Bei Che, this world still needs you to manage. I believe you, I'm no longer suitable to govern this world, because I already have too many distracting thoughts in my heart."

"Ninth Brother, we still need to discuss this matter. Everything else can be discussed. Lingyi, what are you going to do?"

Mu Yefan said, "I have already told Ling Yi about this."

That day.

"I have something to tell you."

"What does the Emperor want to say?" Song Lingyi didn't know what Mu Yefan was actually doing. Although Mu Yefan had been a little temperamental lately, it was rare for him to have something to say to him.

"I'm preparing to pass down my position to Mu Beiche …"

Song Lingyi jumped up in shock, "What did you say?"

"I am prepared to pass the throne to Bei Che."

"Are you crazy, you are doing this for Bai Yixuan?"

"Yes, since Xiao Bai is unwilling to stay in the Imperial Palace, I can only go outside to look for her."

"Mu Yefan, do you think that taking the Emperor as your son is child's play?"

"Loving someone isn't child's play either. Xiao Bai is worth it."

Although Song Lingyi had opened her mind a lot recently, she still felt wronged in her heart, "Then what about me, what do I count as?"

"I'm sorry, I never had that kind of feeling for you. You are only a sacrifice of my hatred, so right now, I just want to give you a choice."

"What choice?"

"In your future life, I can let you go back to the palace and regain your freedom, or you can marry Bei Che."

"I am your Queen, and you want me to marry Bei Che?"

"Bei Che will definitely not treat you unfairly. I'm very clear on this point, so you don't need to worry about the days in the future."

"Mu Yefan, I really didn't realize before that you were a truly selfish person. In order to not delay your future, Bai Yixuan was willing to leave, but you didn't appreciate his kindness at all. You didn't even feel a bit of Bai Yixuan's painstaking efforts."

"If my good intentions are to abandon her, I cannot do so."

"Good, Mu Yefan, you're really great. I, Song Lingyi, was really befuddled before, and I don't know what kind of person I fancied you. At that time, Bei Che treated me so well, but I didn't feel anything, and the moment you came back, I threw myself into your embrace."

Mu Yefan did not speak.

"I don't want to return to the Duke Palaces. Are you preparing to make me go back and be laughed at by everyone? I'm not Bai Yixuan, and I can't live a bitter life either.

"Then you agreed."

"Mu Yefan, I really hate you."

Mu Yefan didn't mind in the slightest, "I know that it's only right for you to hate me. I'm indeed very selfish. I've been by myself for a very long time, so I can't help but think about other people's matters."

"Give me another chance, I definitely won't choose you. You and Bai Yixuan are both unreasonable. I advise Bai Yixuan to stay with us because she doesn't agree. But you, you just have to give up the throne …"

Mu Beiche laughed, there was no hostility in his expression, everything from before disappeared like smoke in thin air.
