"Current Emperor," with that one phrase, everyone's gaze immediately shifted to Le Yao Yao, who stood in the center of the grand hall.
Becoming the center of attention made Le Yao Yao feel an overwhelming pressure!
Her heart raced, her scalp tingled, and her back felt drenched and heavy; she was on the verge of tears. This was truly a moment of despair for Le Yao Yao!
At that moment, she felt utterly helpless and lost.
She genuinely didn't know how to respond to this question. Especially after the current Sovereign finished speaking, she immediately sensed a sharp gaze swiftly landing on her.
That gaze appeared calm on the surface, but the warning in those eyes was so intense that it made her scalp tingle and cold sweat trickle down her back.
The owner of that gaze was none other than the living hell itself!
Upon realizing that the living hell was looking at her with such a strong warning and unfriendly demeanor, Le Yao Yao felt an urge to curse.
Damn it! Why are you staring at me? If you don't want to give me away to someone else, why not just say so? Why act indifferent while I have to answer which master I will follow? What do you mean by glaring at me now!?
Le Yao Yao couldn't make sense of the living hell's actions no matter how hard she tried.
She had no idea whether he cared about her or not.
However, she didn't have much time to ponder this question.
All she knew was that everyone's eyes were fixed on her, and the murmurs around her reached her ears.
The officials present were all speculating that she would definitely follow the current Sovereign. After all, he was the emperor, and he had personally expressed his desire for her. Who would dare refuse him!?
She also noticed that the Current Emperor's gaze was firmly fixed on her, waiting for her response, which only added to her pressure.
Because she truly didn't know how to choose.
However, at that moment, perhaps sensing Le Yao Yao's hesitation, Leng Zihao on the high platform smiled and spoke up.
“Xiaoyaozi, you are a talented individual. I truly admire you, and I lack someone like you by my side. If you were to follow me, I could offer you fame and power. What do you say?”
“Uh…”
Upon hearing this, Le Yao Yao felt a surge of excitement.
Was this considered a tempting offer?
She had to admit that the Current Emperor's words stirred something within her. After all, it indicated that he genuinely valued her! This left Le Yao Yao both flattered and astonished.
However, just as she felt a flicker of attraction, she sensed the cold glare of the living hell king intensifying upon her.
His gaze was like an invisible knife pressed tightly against her throat, as if one wrong word from her would lead to her immediate demise.
Cough, what a threatening fellow! Le Yao Yao was furious!
Yet amidst her anger, a hint of secret delight surged within her. This inexplicable joy left Le Yao Yao feeling conflicted and puzzled about what she was actually pleased about!
But if she truly had to choose whom to follow, she would still choose the living hell king.
After all, she is just a fake eunuch. If someone discovers that she is a woman, she will definitely die. Even if she stayed by the emperor's side, as he said, it would bring her fame and fortune, but the road on this knife's edge was really not easy to walk. Especially, if she is in Duke Rui's Residence, she will be free after three years. Now, the gold and silver treasures just given by the Emperor Empress Dowager are enough for her to enjoy her life. She What are you going to do if you are so greedy to get any rights? ? After thinking about this, Le Yao Yao Beautiful Eyes flashed, then immediately knelt down on the ground and said to the emperor on the high platform. "Thanks to the Emperor's love, I am extremely grateful. However, although I have a humble status, I also understand the truth that once I am my master, I will always be my master. In this life, I will consider the prince as my master." Le Yao Yao His voice was respectful and modest to LengZihao. It was neither humble nor silent. It was not crisp, but it reached the ears of everyone present without missing a word. Following the words of Le Yao Yao, there was a moment of silence in Dragon Hall. Finally, bursts of gasping sounds could be heard, one after another! After all, no one thought that Le Yao Yao would openly reject the emperor's words! The other party is the superior CurrentEmperor! The emperor of Celestial Yuan Dynasty has the power to kill. If she displeases him and he says a word, her head will move. Everyone is shocked, and so is LengZihao. After all, if it were anyone else who had said what he just said, his heart would definitely be moved. You Yao said so. After all, as an emperor and a prince, he can certainly give much more to him than his second brother. Good birds choose trees to roost in, and this is the case. But, now, something unexpected happened! This little eunuch is so... interesting! So fun!
Leng Zihao found himself amused, his interest in the young eunuch before him growing even stronger.
Especially when his gaze lightly swept over, catching sight of his younger brother's brows, which were clearly relaxing, along with the faint smile in his eyes. This made Leng Zihao's handsome face momentarily freeze, and then a thoughtful expression crossed his features.
He mused to himself that he had never seen his younger brother smile before; now it seemed...
This young eunuch held a very important place in his brother's heart!
As Leng Zihao pondered this, his gaze fell once again on Le Yao Yao, who was kneeling on the ground, appearing calm and unafraid. A hint of admiration flickered in his eyes.
No wonder his brother cared about him; this young eunuch was indeed impressive!
After all, who could openly reject the Emperor's words without a hint of fear on their face?
So composed, neither servile nor arrogant.
It was as if he faced a mountain of blades without showing any sign of fear—what a talent!
In that fleeting moment, Leng Zihao truly wanted to claim this young eunuch for himself! Unfortunately, a gentleman does not take what belongs to others, especially when this young eunuch was someone his brother cherished...
While Leng Zihao was lost in thought, he remained unaware that Le Yao Yao was already drenched with sweat at that moment!
After all, she knew she had just rejected the Current Emperor. If he were displeased, a single word from him could spell disaster for her. How could she not be afraid!?
Her calm demeanor was merely... well, an act!
After all, who isn’t afraid of death?
However, just as Le Yao Yao felt anxious in her heart, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the Dragon Hall.
"Haha, wonderful! Well said! Once a master, always a master! Those words are not bad! Second brother, you truly are fortunate! I envy you!"
Leng Zihao laughed loudly and then turned to Leng Junyu, who stood calmly beside him.
Upon hearing this, Leng Junyu merely smiled faintly, but he did not respond.
Yet his gaze toward Le Yao Yao was gentle.
Ah, what a lovely saying: once a master, always a master!
So, does that mean you will be mine for life!?
Thinking of this, Leng Junyu's heart felt as if it were filled with honey, sweet and delightful...
...
Although Le Yao Yao had rejected the Current Emperor's words, causing everyone present to gasp in surprise, fortunately, the Current Emperor was not angry at all and even praised Le Yao Yao greatly.
Afterward, the atmosphere returned to one of singing and dancing.
Le Yao Yao secretly wiped away a cold sweat and then returned to her seat.
Indeed, it was true; the Current Emperor was incredibly imposing. Just from kneeling earlier under everyone's gaze, she had been drenched in sweat.
Until now, although the Emperor, known as Dragon Countenance, was very pleased, her heart was still racing wildly.
After such a scare earlier, it seemed she would have another sleepless night!
However, even though Le Yao Yao felt a lingering fear, she quickly replaced that fear with excitement and joy when she thought about the gold and silver treasures the Empress Dowager had just bestowed upon her.
Oh my!
From now on, she would be a wealthy woman and no longer have to worry about her future!
Once she left the royal residence, she could start a small business with Little Muzi to improve his family's situation or even travel around the world to appreciate the beautiful rivers of this unfamiliar time and space.
At this moment, Le Yao Yao's mind was filled with thoughts of the carefree life she would lead after leaving the royal residence.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, she sensed a scorching gaze fixed upon her. Startled, she followed the direction of that intense gaze.
When she saw the owner of that gaze, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
There stood the living Yama, looking at her with a smile.
His slightly upturned lips and twinkling eyes softened his originally proud and cold features, making him even more… irresistibly charming!
In an instant, Le Yao Yao felt her heart race uncontrollably.
She wondered what had come over the living Yama to look at her in such a way.
And at this moment, he was smiling.
Her smile was still as gentle as ever, like the wind, like the clouds, embodying both nobility and grace, breathtakingly beautiful.
Although Le Yao Yao didn't want to admit it, she found herself feeling a bit infatuated, her heart racing uncontrollably.
At that moment, a refined and melodious voice reached her ears.
"Yao Brother is truly intelligent and wise. The two plays you’ve crafted are simply extraordinary. No wonder Dragon Countenance is so pleased; even the Empress Dowager is delighted."
Dongfang Bai turned slightly, offering a gentle smile to Le Yao Yao.
Upon hearing this, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but smile back.
"Hehe, Brother Bai is too kind. As long as everyone enjoys it, that's all that matters."
After saying this, as if struck by a thought, her beautiful eyes shifted to Nangong Junxi nearby, and her smile deepened. In contrast, Nangong Junxi's expression seemed somewhat sour compared to Le Yao Yao's cheerful demeanor.
