Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant

Friend (1)

Zhao Mingyu nodded. “The longer I delay, the harder it will be for me to go back. It is better to return as soon as possible.”

Ye Mu nodded. She respected Zhao Mingyu’s strength, especially her decisiveness earlier to let Mo Linyuan kill everyone. She admired Zhao Mingyu’s strong will.

So she said, “If you are unhappy in Zhao Country, you can actually still marry over to Mo Country. After all, Mo Linyuan will definitely not return the two cities contributed by Zhao Country. When you come, he will still help you to find a good husband!”

After hearing this, Zhao Mingyu smiled softly. She suddenly wanted to see her Emperor Father’s frustrated expression.

Her downfall was that she had trusted her Emperor Father too much, and thus gave up everything to come to Mo Country alone. Unfortunately, her Emperor Father broke her heart. Now, she would no longer rely on him wholeheartedly and fight for his favor to live.

The two girls chatted privately with each other.

After a while, Ye Mu smiled suddenly and said, “By the way, after such a long time, you are the first girl I have ever seen that is so self-reliant and independent.” But it also showed how cutthroat the Zhao country’s palace was, to force a princess to be so strong.

Zhao Mingyu said with a smile, “I will treat that as a compliment, but if I had the choice, I also hope to be able to embroider flowers and catch butterflies like ordinary women and not worry about the world. It is a pity that my current state was all forced out of me!”

Ye Mu listened carefully.

Zhao Mingyu said, “Miss Ye might not be aware, Zhao Country is really not a good place. Father has more than forty children. To stand out from among them, my hands have long been stained with blood.”

She smiled and continued, “I did things that other princesses will be afraid of when they hear it. I did things that other princes don’t want to be tainted with. Emperor Father wanted to lay his hands on his own daughter in law, so I volunteered to find evidence of Imperial Brother’s intent to rebel, giving Emperor Father a chance to kill him. It was also me that altered my Imperial Sister-in-law’s appearance so that she could become a new concubine of Emperor Father. My brother cursed at me before he died, but he seemed to have forgotten that when I was a child, he used a whip to lash me!”

Zhao Mingyu said this while giggling. She was bright and beautiful. Although her face was injured, Ye Mu still thought it was very beautiful when she laughed.

Seeing Ye Mu staring at herself, Zhao Mingyu pulled her over to the table and poured her some tea, “Does Miss Ye think that I am frightening?”

She should be scared, right? Since Zhao Country’s women were so disgusted and terrified of her.

Ye Mu shook her head. “Everyone has their own methods of survival. No one has the right to say anything if they are just judging you now without knowing the reasons of the past.”

Zhao Mingyu laughed when she heard this.

“Miss Ye is indeed a sensible person! No wonder His Majesty of Mo Country favors you so much!” She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it, her eyes flashing with a sinister light.

“When that brother was young, he had someone tie me up and used a whip to lash me because I accidentally smashed his things. When I was a child, I was frail and sick. That beating almost killed me! So, all this time, I’ve hated him. I just pretended I didn’t remember it at all. Later on, I became his follower, but he didn’t seem to remember beating me. Seeing that I was capable and loyal, he started to rely on me.”

Ye Mu sighed, “Wicked people won’t remember the evil things they did, they just make you suffer bitterness.”
