I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 392

Chapter 392

The Little Taoist was stunned for a while before he realised what Xie Xuanchen was saying. Suddenly, he didn’t feel that great anymore. Xie Xuanchen didn’t care after he finished speaking as he waved the Little Taoist away. After he left, the servant was also sent off by Mu Mingtang to brew the medicine.

The servants working in the Yulin Palace were already very discerning and soon, they all left consciously, giving up the indoor s.p.a.ce to Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen. Mu Mingtang stood up, went to the window to see if anyone was there before she closed them one by one.

Xie Xuanchen asked, “What are you looking at?”

“I’m worried that there are people hiding outside; I don’t want anyone to overhear our conversation here.”

Xie Xuanchen just responded indifferently, “It’s okay.”

“What?”

“It doesn’t matter if there are eavesdroppers or not. At any rate, by tomorrow, these people will not remain.”

Mu Mingtang was taken aback by Xie Xuanchen’s words, “What did you say?”

“At this point, there is no courteousness between me and him, so there is also no need to pay heed to the spies that he sent over. Tomorrow, these people will either die or leave— there is no third option.”

The composition of the palace’s personnel was very complicated, so no one knew exactly how many spies were working here under the order of the couple’s enemies. During this period of time, some have switched to Xie Xuanchen’s side, some have wisely made sure to ensure their lives were protected and some remained loyal to their master. In the past, Xie Xuanchen kept the forces of all parties in a state of balance, which resulted in the situation being stable enough that everyone had occasional benefits. But now, Xie Xuanchen didn’t even want to maintain this balance.

Those who come from unknown sources, those who were here to put up an act and those who weren’t even standing on their side were all going to leave.

Mu Mingtang was surprised— was Xie Xuanchen going to declare war with the Emperor? Driving the servants away would undoubtedly be announcing to the whole city that Xie Xuanchen and the Emperor have completely disregarded formalities with each other.

Mu Mingtang had guessed that there would probably be a cold war between the two men in the future, but she didn’t expect things would progress this quickly. Mu Mingtang let out a sigh and sat next to Xie Xuanchen, looking at him with some concern in her gaze, “Does your head still hurt?”

Xie Xuanchen didn’t even want to shake his head, “It’s okay.”

That was the way he was. Whenever he complained about having a headache, he would actually be healthy and was more than capable of being active; but if he insisted that he was fine, then the situation wouldn’t be good for him.

Mu Mingtang sighed in her heart but she did not expose him. Instead, she said softly, “It’s fine. Then, I’ll ma.s.sage your forehead for you.”

Xie Xuanchen subconsciously wanted to decline her, but it was only when the words were about to surface from his lips that he scolded himself for being an idiot. In the end, he relented and leaned against the bed. Feeling Mu Mingtang kneeling beside him, she gently kneaded the acupuncture points on his head.

After today’s incident, Xie Xuanchen was actually very tired, as if his entire body had been drained of blood. But at this moment, with Mu Mingtang’s hands lightly pressing on his forehead, Xie Xuanchen felt that no matter how many consequences he suffered, it was worth it.
