Chapter 2136: The Past Life 61Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“General Sima…” The emperor pondered for a moment and said, “Your previous relations.h.i.+p with the Dongfang family is still good. You go to persuade her. Do not let the Ninth Emperor remember about her revenge, and I will warn Qingluo again so that she does not cause any trouble.”
Sima Yan nodded. “Emperor, don"t worry. I know what to do.”
“All right, you can go now,” the emperor ordered him to go and did not say more.
Sima Yan put his fist to his palm and smiled. “I understand, and I have just had someone secretly follow Dongfang Yu. I think I will soon be able to find Little Nine of the Mu family.”
He and Mu Yi were not on good terms for now. Mu Yi would not say anything if he asked him, so he had to use his way to find Little Nine.
By then, he would know whether Little Nine was the Ninth Emperor or not.
The emperor hesitated for a moment. “The Ninth Emperor has always shown herself in masks and probably does not want others to know that she is a girl.”
“Why?”
“Are you stupid? The Ninth Emperor doesn"t like men but girls. If people knew that she was also a girl, wouldn"t that cause people to criticize her? Therefore, she let people mistake her for a boy so that she can stay with her girls.”
Hearing the emperor"s words, Sima Yan was first dumbfounded. Then, he nodded since he felt that this was very reasonable.
If he liked someone of the same gender, he also did not want too many people to know about it, lest it provoked criticism.
Bad rumors were the most terrible and could be enough to put people to death.
Even if that person were the Ninth Emperor, she would still be drowned by those spittles.
“So…” The emperor frowned. “I suspect that Dongfang Yu is not her servant but her woman.”
Sima Yan was shocked.
He could accept it if it were anyone else, but why did it have to be Dongfang Yu he knew?
It was tough for him to imagine that Dongfang Yu would submit herself to a woman.
“That"s all you need to know.” The emperor smiled and said, “So, when you want to please the Ninth Emperor, you can send a few more women to her. Maybe when she is happy, she will reward us with a few spirit herbs, all of which can greatly enhance the strength of Feng Yun Kingdom.”
Sima Yan pondered for a moment before nodding. “I understand.”
Sima Yan left immediately after saying these words.
Fortunately, there were many girls in Feng Yun Kingdom. He could choose a few beautiful girls and send them to the Ninth Emperor, hoping that she would put aside her need for revenge.
Sima Yan was somewhat helpless. He hated to do so, but he had no other choice. This was all because of the trouble caused by Princess Qingluo.
In the emperor"s son-in-law"s manor…
Mu Qingya waited anxiously outside the gate. It was already late, but Princess Qingluo had not come back.
She lowered her gaze, and an unreadable light flashed in her eyes.
She raised her head a few moments later.
“It seems that Mother is not coming back. So I have to meet Little Nine again.”
Mu Qingya was about to walk down the steps when Mu Yi came out of the courtyard. He looked at Mu Qingya and asked, “Qingya, where are you going to?”
Mu Qingya smiled bitterly. “Father, I haven"t been able to talk to my sister last time, so I want to see her again. We are sisters, and we both are Father"s daughters. Maybe she will listen to me.”
