We Want To Break Off The Engagement (3)

Still that hardcore! Leng Ruoxue complained.1

"Xue'er, where does the emperor live?" Freak asked after they landed in the imperial garden. He wasn't familiar with the imperial palace!

"I'm going to meet the empress first."

"Meet the empress?"

"Yes, doesn't the emperor want the seventh prince to be the next emperor? I won't let him get his way." Leng Ruoxue knew that the empress and the crown prince had to hate what the damn emperor was doing now. As the saying went, the enemy of the enemy was a friend, so cooperating with the empress was the best choice.

Relying on the map she got from her grandfather, Leng Ruoxue quickly found the Phoenix Algae Palace where the empress lived.

"Freak, wait for me here. I'll go by myself." Leng Ruoxue motioned for Rise to dispel his invisibility spell and walked into the Phoenix Algae Palace openly.

The empress kept a very low profile. Apart from the guards outside the palace, there wasn't a single maidservant or guard in the entire palace.

"Who are you?" The empress, who was sitting and reading a book, forced herself to calm down and look at the girl who suddenly appeared in her palace. But she was startled in her heart.

"I am Leng Ruoxue," Leng Ruoxue said her name directly. It was obvious that this empress was smart, or she wouldn't be so calm.

"You are Leng Ruoxue? You are indeed a rare beauty," the empress said appreciatively. Her eyes kept looking up and down at the absolutely beautiful girl in front of her. With her alluring beauty, cold and noble temperament, and extraordinary strength, the seventh prince simply wasn't worthy of such a stunning woman. Seems that the emperor's wishful thinking won't be possible.

"Empress, you are also a rare beauty," Leng Ruoxue said honestly. The woman in front of her was indeed very beautiful, and it was a kind of intellectual beauty. As for her strength, this beautiful woman was unexpectedly a Spiritual Sovereign. This empress was really like a fresh flower stuck in cow manure!

"May I ask why Miss Leng is looking for me?" the empress asked frankly with a smile.

"Why are you asking the obvious? I'm sure you know why I'm here." Leng Ruoxue threw the question back.

"Miss Leng, did you come because of the marriage with the seventh prince?" the empress asked with certainty.

"Yes."

"Miss Leng, this matter was decided by the emperor. It's useless to look for me," the empress said helplessly. She was also thinking of ways to stop this matter, but she didn't have any good ideas. In fact, she was the most unwilling person to see the seventh prince marry the Leng family.

"You are mistaken, Empress. I came for this matter, but not entirely. I'm mainly here to find you to cooperate against our common enemy," Leng Ruoxue said candidly. Since they were going to cooperate, they needed to be sincere.

"How do you want to cooperate with me, Miss Leng?" the empress asked directly. Smart people wouldn't lie, and they indeed had a common enemy.

"I wonder how far you're willing to go, Empress?" Leng Ruoxue probed.

"I don't understand what you mean."

"I'm sure you can see that the emperor plans to abolish the crown prince and establish the seventh prince," Leng Ruoxue said bluntly.

"Yes." She had long seen through it. The emperor had been brewing such thoughts for quite some time. But the seventh prince's mother's family didn't have much power, so the emperor had never dared to act rashly.

"Since you know about it, why didn't you take precautions earlier?" Leng Ruoxue really couldn't understand this woman's thoughts.

"He's my husband after all…" the empress said helplessly.

"But he doesn't treat you as his wife. He's a man who spoils his concubines and neglects his wife, yet you still indulge him. Do you have to wait until he makes the first move before you wake up?" Leng Ruoxue hated women who valued their husbands above all else. She was obviously a very smart woman, but she couldn't figure out emotional issues.

"You are right. I really have indulged him too much. In fact, when we first got married, we were happy, so I've always…" The empress choked with emotion.

"Men are fickle-minded. I'm afraid he doesn't remember," Leng Ruoxue said mockingly. She had already learned about the damn emperor's character.

"What do you want me to do?" the empress asked after calming herself down. It was time for her to plan for her son.

"Empress, you can express your disapproval of this matter," Leng Ruoxue reminded.

"But…" the empress hesitated. If her objection was useful, she would have objected long ago.

"Empress, although your maiden family isn't comparable to the Five Great Families, it's still the number one family in the Eastern Lagoon Empire. As long as you object, the emperor will more or less take note of it." Leng Ruoxue analyzed.

"I'll try!" the empress said after some thought.

"Then…" Leng Ruoxue whispered her plan into the empress's ear.

"T-this won't do. It's too risky." The empress widened her eyes and looked at Leng Ruoxue in disbelief. This girl actually wants me to…

"Miss Leng, I think you still don't know about the old patriarch's existence yet, right?" the empress asked, her heart racing.

"I know. Every imperial family has a Spiritual Supremacy behind them." She heard from her grandfather that the old patriarch of the Eastern Lagoon Empire was also a Spiritual Supremacy.

"Then how dare you want me to…"

"Empress, if you don't even have the courage, then just wait to be eaten!" Leng Ruoxue reminded lightly. She knew that the empress was afraid of the so-called old patriarch, but she didn't think that the old patriarch would start a killing spree over such a small matter. After all, the struggle for the throne was always bloody, and the old patriarch must have done similar things back then.

"Let me think about it!" the empress said thoughtfully.

"Okay. When you've thought it over, send someone to look for me." Then Leng Ruoxue turned and left the Phoenix Algae Palace.

Not far away from the Phoenix Algae Palace…

"Where did that damn Freak go? Didn't we agree that he would wait here?" Leng Ruoxue muttered to herself. How disobedient. He should be spanked!

"Xue'er, are you thinking about me?" Just as Leng Ruoxue finished thinking this, Freak's enchanting voice sounded in her ears, and his face was full of excitement

"Master said she wants to spank you for being disobedient," Dazzle gloated while lying in Leng Ruoxue's arms.
