Chapter 148: Dare to Steal My Man?

"The world and An'er, this King wants them both."Hearing this answer, Yuan Si Nian smiled, a mocking smile in his eyes."A fish and a bear's paw cannot both be grasped, Your Highness should understand...:

Yun'an An's question is very straightforward.

If one day she lost her usefulness.

Will Old Master Wang kill her at the first opportunity

A hint of a smile played on her lips. Looking at the silent elder before her, Yun An'an didn't wait for him to speak but took the initiative and spoke first.

"If I were you, I would get rid of a very unsettling element at the first opportunity."

"You little brat, how would you know what I'm thinking unless you were old man"

Cross-legged in the carriage, Old Master Wang poured himself a cup of tea. The fragrant brew invigorated him, replacing his usual languid air with alertness as he met Yun An'an's gaze.

"I, too, admit that at first I used you merely as a pawn to manipulate Bei Chen Yi. However, as time went on, I gradually discovered that everything you showed me far exceeded my expectations."

Sometimes, I even wonder, what would have happened if I hadn't dragged you into this mess

"But now the old man understands one thing."

With the same smile, Old Wang regained his usual mischievous and cheerful demeanor.

What's up

Yun An'an curiously asked, she was rather curious about what Old Wangye understood.

"At first, what surrounds you will eventually be bound by you."

"Whether it's the old man, Beichen Han, or Han Ying, all are the same."

You are an unstable pawn, capable of ignoring all rules, breaking the very system, and transcending the board itself.

This is what Old Wangye thinks of the woman sitting across from him now.

"But there's one thing I don't understand. I've seen you before, and you were completely a coward, even getting bullied by someone like Yun Feifei. Why..."

"Doesn't Old Master Wang mean to say, why have I become a different person after marrying Beichen Yi"

Old Wang nodded, that's the point.

He was utterly perplexed. Even when Yun An'an said that she had once apprenticed to a master and secluded herself in secrecy, the difference between them was just too vast.

It's like having a whole new soul. Besides the resemblance in appearance, it's completely a brand new being.

To call her lazy, yet she is ruthless and meticulous in her actions.

She is said to be vulgar, yet she's proficient in poetry, songs, and literary works. She can also create things that are beyond expectations.

She's said to be carefree and frivolous, but this girl is incredibly devoted to Beichen Yi. She would go through fire and water for him, not even batting an eye at death.

Such a beautiful woman, hard to find even in seven countries.

"This is it~"

Yun'an An rested her left hand on her chin, pondering how to answer the old king's question more perfectly.

"Old Wang, you must have woken up,"

"Is this explanation too superficial for me"

This is blatant nonsense, and you still talk about awakening You stupid girl, why don't you say that you were possessed

"Alright, alright, don't dwell on this. Here, have a drumstick."

Yun An'an tore a drumstick from the lunchbox. Inhaling its unique aroma, Old King seemed as happy as a child.

The horses' hooves pounded, and the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.

Yun'an and the old king walked side by side, a long palace road bathed in moonlight.

The young eunuch led the way, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

And the reason is that the two ancestors behind him were discussing the topic.

"Old Wang, my uncle said you had an affair with the Empress Dowager"

Yun An'an's eyes were full of gossip as she inquired about the history between Han Ying and the old king back then.

Old Wang's face was full of disdain, but not because he disliked Yun An An asking about his past. It was because of her choice of words.

"At least you are a teacher at Yingtian Academy, can't you use more appropriate and elegant language What do you mean by "having slept with someone"

"Alright, let me try a different idiom. How exactly did you and the Empress have such a passionate and lingering romance"

Poof!

The little eunuch walking ahead nearly spat blood. If this word reached the Empress Dowager's ears, Princess Yi would be killed eight times over and it still wouldn't be enough.

"Hey That's not right!"

Yun'an didn't notice before, but now she has realized the bug.

"The former emperor was your nephew, and the Empress Dowager is your niece-in-law. You and the Empress Dowager were childhood sweethearts... My goodness, this relationship is so complicated!"

"Get out! What's going on in that little girl's head The late emperor was about the same age as me. I'm just a bit older."

Speaking of this, it's a memory from long, long ago.

Back then, he was still the Prince. The late Emperor was only a prince, and Han Ying was just the eldest daughter of the Han family.

“Alas, in my younger days, I should not have let go.”

Under the moonlight that bathed the palace path, Old Master Wang narrated the events of that year to Yun An'an.

In Old Master Wang's memory, he portrayed himself as a righteous, brave, and handsome young talent. In contrast, the previous emperor was depicted as a dark prince with cunning schemes and vicious methods.

If it weren't for the late Emperor using his strategy to take Han Ying, everything wouldn't be as we see it now.

"Oh~"

Yun'an nodded, her face understanding.

The matter between Old Wang Ye and Empress Dowager Han Ying can be summed up in one sentence.

Old Wang Ye's plan to raise a daughter-in-law was disrupted. By chance, the former emperor kissed and woke up his true love, Han Ying. Old Wang Ye ended up with nothing, both in terms of people and money.

If it were me, I couldn't stand it, I'd just go for it!

"Do you think I haven't thought about that After seeing Han Ying and the former emperor truly love each other, I let go... What's that expression on your face"

Yun An'an stared at him, making him very uncomfortable. What was this girl thinking

"It's just the beauty of maturity, Old Wang is a real man too, nothing to make a fuss about!"

Yunan gently patted Lao Wangye's shoulder and uttered a common saying.

As the saying goes, "To live a good life, you need to have something green on your head."

“You…are you insulting this old man again”

"How could I I wouldn't dare to scold Old Wang, who has been so selfless and dedicated, raising his daughter-in-law."

Hearing this, Old Wang was so angry his teeth itched. He reached out and grabbed Yun An'an's hair, then ran away with a stomp of his foot.

Lao Wangye grabbed his hair and pulled, causing him pain. Seeing that agile figure running further and further away, Yun An'an clutched the lunchbox and chased after him relentlessly.

"If you have the guts, don't run. Stand your ground."

"Aren't you going to run You think I'm senile!"

Well, I guess so.

Even Old Master Wang had to meekly admit his mistake, after all, the food box was in Yun An'an's hands.

For food, pride is nothing.

Palace of Heavenly Purity.

A table stood in the center of the grand hall, laden with a plethora of dishes arranged neatly and in perfect order.

Before Beichen Han stood a large fried chicken, missing one leg, placed before him. Beside him, Li Gonggong’s forehead was slick with cold sweat.

His Majesty said to eat larger fried chicken, but he didn't say to eat *this* large of a fried chicken.

"Your Majesty, please don't be so polite, eat!"

You can't kill me!

"Uncle, I know you don't like sweets, but this double skin milk is super delicious. Open your mouth, let me feed you!"

One bite of the silky double skin milk, rich and sweet with a delightful milky fragrance, melts in your mouth.

"It's delicious, Aner is still so skillful and thoughtful. A husband like me, what more could I ask for with a wife like you."

"Can you two please eat quietly and treat me like a person"

Old Wang, his face contorted with rage, clutched a pig's hoof in his hands and gnawed at it furiously.

You dead girl!

Isn't that just pulling her hair

It's no big deal, I can just pull it back.

I don't need to pull his whiskers off.

He painstakingly grew his beard... only to have it destroyed in an instant.

"Your Majesty, when will you pay me what you owe"

While eating, Yun An'an remembered that Bei Chenhan still owed him money.

Back then, a single pill from Qishan cost one million taels of silver. Even now, I haven't seen a single penny of it.

"When I have some free time, I will naturally give you the consultation fee."

"When is it free"

Yun An'an continued to relentlessly pursue him.

When it comes to money matters, that's a big deal. Not even the current emperor can shirk responsibility.

"Li Hai."

"Here I am, master."

"Withdraw one million taels from the treasury and send them to Yiwangfu."

When confronted with a demand for money, Beichen Han's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, unable to tell if he was pleased or angry.

Mr. Li respectfully withdrew, instructing the guards to convey his business and cast a final glance at Yun An'an.

Throughout the world, there is only one person who dares to speak to Your Majesty in this manner and yet still lives - that would be Princess Yi.

>Remembering once again the words His Majesty had spoken to Minister Yun a few days prior.

Could it be...

"That's right, isn't it If you owe money, you have to pay it back. Uncle, you agree, right"

"An'er, whatever you say is right. Come, let husband feed you."

"Ah~~"

Over a meal, Beichen Yi and Yun An'an, as a couple, flaunted their affection so much that even Lao Wangye almost flipped the table. Beichen Han was also wearing a sullen expression, suppressing his anger.

"Uncle, are you staying in the palace tonight"

Although my husband wishes to stay with An'er and sleep with her, alas, there are too many matters at hand. He can only stay in the palace for the night.

His slender fingertips gently stroked Yun An'an's cheek, Bei Chen Yi's eyes filled with reluctance.

Even if they were to be separated for a whole night, he would not let go.

"Are you **ing leaving or not If you're not, old man's leaving first."

At the palace gate, watching the two people dawdle, Old King couldn't help but curse.

"Be careful on the road."

"You too, sleep if you're tired, don't pay attention to Beichenhan."

Yun An boarded the carriage and departed.

Not long after Yun An'an left, Bei Chen Yi also returned to Taihe Hall.

However, the Taihe Palace was missing Bei Chenhan's figure, and instead, there was an extra woman.

The woman was breathtakingly beautiful, walking step by step towards Bei Chen Yi, her eyes held a mesmerizing and captivating gaze.

"My lord, I'm so cold alone. Would you please hug me"

As they spoke, the woman took a few steps forward and was about to embrace Beichen Yi.

Just then, with a bang!

The originally closed gate of the Taihe Hall was kicked open by one foot.

Yun Anan, who had vanished, appeared under the moonlight. Seeing the scene before her, a smile curled up at the corner of a woman's lips.

When the woman saw Yun An'an, a smile flashed in her eyes, and she stumbled towards Bei Chen Yi.

"Oh my, Your Highness Yi Wangfei, please don't misunderstand. My servant and the Regent King haven't done anything."

The woman's clothes were half-fallen, and her hair was disheveled at some point. She said whatever she said, no one would believe it.

"An'er."

Beichen Yi knew this was a trap. Looking at Yun An'an, who was walking step by step with gloomy eyes, he wanted to explain.

Before he could even speak, he saw the white figure flash past, grabbing the woman's cheek and dragging her all the way to the pond outside the Taihe Hall.

Only a splash was heard, and water splashed everywhere.

Yun Anan stood at the edge of the pond, clutching her waist.

"You dare to flirt with my man Are you tired of living"

"Uncle, go home and sleep."

If one has such a wife, what more could a husband ask for

Beichen Yiting smiled, walking closer step by step, embracing Yun An'an and kissing her passionately.

In the distance, a pair of half-closed phoenix eyes stared at the scene before them, a smile playing on their lips that was neither quite a smile nor quite an angry frown.

"Yun'an An."red the crowd and turned her gaze to the vast expanse of the sea.The ocean is vast, and in comparison, humans are so tiny.The boat, like a leaf on the water, sails across a vast expanse of deep blue.O...
