The maid bowed and said, "Miss Mu, our Princess Consort Li requests your presence."
Princess Consort Li?
Mu Ruyue frowned slightly and replied indifferently, "Sorry, I’m not interested in seeing her..."
"Miss Mu, our Princess Consort Li has sothing to say to you, regarding the Seventh Prince. Aren’t you interested?"
"I’m sorry, regardless of who it’s about, I’m not interested. Move aside imdiately!"
The maid swiftly blocked Mu Ruyue’s path again and, with a sowhat fake smile, said, "Miss Mu, our Princess Consort Li has thoroughly inquired and heard... that you want to leave the Demon City?"
As expected, upon hearing this, Mu Ruyue halted and glared coldly at the maid.
"Take to see her."
The maid smiled triumphantly, gesturing with her hand, "Miss Mu, our Princess Consort Li is waiting for you at the teahouse. Please follow now..."
Inside the private room of the teahouse, Princess Consort Li dressed lavishly, stared absentmindedly out the window, a barely noticeable glimr on her cute doll-like face.
Just then, the door of the room swung open, she ca to her senses and turned to look outside the door...
"You’ve co?"
Princess Consort Li smiled casually and said, "Xiao Liu, get the seat."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The maid nad Xiao Liu pulled out a chair, her crisp voice said, "Miss Mu, please sit."
Mu Ruyue sat down without any formality and cast a casual glance at Princess Consort Li.
"Why did you ask to co? What do you want to say?"
Princess Consort Li gently stroked the rim of her teacup with pink nails, slowly curled her lips, lowering her lashes as she said lightly, "The Demon Emperor has taken an interest in you."
No one understood that man better than Princess Consort Li.
He desires all the won of the Demon World, and those he cannot have are the ones he can’t let go of. Moreover, this woman is breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairy tale—a threat to her status if she enters the Royal Family.
However, wanting her to marry You Xi fills Princess Consort Li’s heart with jealousy...
"Then what?" Mu Ruyue raised her eyebrows slightly, asking indifferently.
"Then, you must leave the Demon City!"
Princess Consort Li raised her head, gazing coldly at Mu Ruyue. "Only by leaving the Demon City can you stay away from them—the father and son!"
Mu Ruyue laughed, her smile tinged with disdain.
"I’ve heard You Xi ntion you. In his mories, it’s clear you are soone worth befriending. However, once people attain status, they change. You want Princess Consort Li’s esteed position and desire to win You Xi’s heart; do you think it’s possible?"
Princess Consort Li’s face changed slightly but quickly regained composure, smiling lightly.
"Why not! I want not just the position of Princess Consort Li, but the title that commands the empire! However, the one You Xi loves must be ; he must never fall for anyone else! No one besides can ever move his heart in this lifeti."
Princess Consort Li took a deep breath and spoke word by word, "And his wife must be Du Feifei! Because, no matter what, You Xi will never fancy that woman Du Feifei! Yet, he defended you against the father he fears most; thus, I cannot allow you two to be together!"
