Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 420: Dying Like This Is Too Easy for You!

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Dying Like This Is Too Easy for You!

"Madam, good news, great news!"

Li Qingmu was reading while nestled on the couch, and Long Yue was sitting beside him, threading needles and sewing clothes for their unborn child. Ning Xiang suddenly ran in, her expression joyful, even dancing with delight.

This girl was given to her by Yang Zhuoya. After Huanhuan’s death and being confined by the Emperor, Long Yue didn’t have a single maid to help, and Ning Xiang, who was just a regular cleaning maid at the Su Mansion, fit right in here with Long Yue.

Long Yue cherished old bonds, so she didn’t want to change people after getting familiar with each other, and Ning Xiang stayed.

Seeing her so overjoyed, almost flying with happiness, Long Yue put down her task, her face turning serious, "You must be steady and composed, as calm as Mount Tai even in the face of adversity, so you won’t be laughed at."

"Yes!"

Ning Xiang obediently responded.

"Speak, what’s the great news?"

"Madam, it’s about the gentleman. News from the royal court, the gentleman has been appointed as the Imperial Envoy!"

"Pfft!"

Li Qingmu was sipping tea from a crystal jade cup and choked upon hearing the news.

Long Yue gave him a sidelong glance, full of dissatisfaction, "It’s just the Imperial Envoy, does it warrant such a scare? Isn’t it about setting an example for the people below?"

Though the Imperial Envoy is second in rank and lower than the Six Great Ministers who are standard second rank, their roles are different. They can impeach officials. With power that clean, who in the court dares say they’re truly as pure as jade?

Even if one is pure, can you guarantee there are no dirty deeds at home?

As long as they are seized by the Imperial Envoy, they’ll peel a layer off you. So even though Imperial Envoy is only second in rank, in terms of status, even the Six Great Ministers must cater to their mood.

Long Yue could imagine her troublesome old father must be in a foul mood at home, throwing a tantrum?

Hahaha, the thought is utterly delightful!

Despite her words, Long Yue’s heart was singing with joy, thinking about the future; now that her husband was a second rank official, shouldn’t they establish a mansion? Staying in the General Mansion isn’t ideal.

She recalled her uncle Cao Xiao, and although the General Mansion was compromised, Chang Lexi never broke ties with him. Now, this marriage is cemented, so this General Mansion will be his and Chang Lexi’s, they couldn’t stay any longer.

Li Qingmu didn’t notice his young wife lost in thought, he was holding his tea cup, leisurely sighing, "Oh, I thought the Emperor would appoint me as the Junior Prime Minister."

Uh!

Long Yue’s smile froze instantly, she frowned at Li Qingmu, feeling this man was deliberately opposing her.

Truly audacious!

"Gentleman, Madam, people from the palace have arrived."

A servant came in to report, Li Qingmu nodded slightly, indicating for them to bring the person in.

The court session was over, and the Emperor’s edict should come soon.

Indeed, the person was Chen Yan, also known as Eunuch Xiao Chen. Now when he sees Li Qingmu, he almost clings to him, his smile sickly sweet.

Li Qingmu moved to get up, Chen Yan hurriedly said, "Doctor Li, please relax! You’re injured, the Emperor specially instructed to waive your salute, just listen."

Then, Chen Yan read Qi Yun’s imperial edict, and smilingly handed it over, "Doctor Li, tsk tsk, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Eunuch Chen. You’ve worked hard, this is a token of appreciation, nothing substantial."

Long Yue took out a pouch and handed it to him, with a golden leaf inside, Chen Yan declined but Long Yue pushed it into his hands.

"Oh wow, Madam Li is too courteous, then I’ll humbly accept it!"

Chen Yan accepted the golden leaf with a smile, then whispered, "Second Miss Pang has awakened."

Long Yue’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, she nodded gently, "Thank you!"

"Then, I’ll take my leave!"

"Eunuch, walk slowly."

Long Yue sent Chen Yan away, turned around, with a cold gaze.

She had learned medicine from Duanmu Nan. To outsiders, Pang Wenzheng’s sword seemed to have killed Pang Shuangyue, but she knew he was precise, missing the heart by half an inch, meaning timely rescue meant she wouldn’t die.

If Pang Wenzheng left a chance, how could she not give him face?

So, she left word to Chen Zhong. Understanding her message, Chen Zhong directed Shen Chong to save her at all costs.

Now, she has awakened!

"A Mu, I need to visit the Imperial Palace."

Li Qingmu put away his books, his eyes crisp, with a dangerous glint, "Take A shao with you!"

Long Yue felt if she said "no," Li Qingmu would definitely get out of the bed and come with her, so Long Yue took Ning Xiang and A shao into the palace.

"Madam Li, this way please!"

Qi Yun seemed to know Long Yue would come and sent Chen Zhong to guide them. They arrived at a secluded palace hall, Chen Zhong smilingly said, "Madam Li, here it is, the life and death of the person inside is entirely up to you!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The fate of others, determined by you!

Having such power truly makes one feel celestial, no wonder since ancient times, people would fight to the death for power!

Long Yue nodded slightly, thanked Chen Zhong, and turned to enter.

"Creak—"

The palace door opened slowly, a ray of sunlight pierced in, Long Yue saw in a corner at the hall, behind three layers of pearl curtains, a woman was fearfully looking at her.

Pang Shuangyue had awakened, her initial thought was she was in hell, but soon realized she was in the Imperial Palace!

Why... why am I in the Imperial Palace?

She clearly failed in rebellion with Pei Jinheng, her father struck her down, why is she still alive?

Given the Emperor’s temperament, he wouldn’t rest without tearing her apart!

She pondered endlessly until she heard chaotic footsteps outside followed by, "Madam Li!"

Pang Shuangyue’s body immediately shivered, it was a natural reaction because she knew who "Madam Li" was referring to!

Pang Longyue!

The only one allowed to enter and addressed by the eunuchs as "Madam Li" was her!

She came!

Instantly, Pang Shuangyue felt a numbness on her scalp!

Her husband had just aided the Emperor greatly, he trusted him most among his ministers, so if she wanted the authority to decide her punishment, Qi Yun would likely agree.

The thought of ending up under the other’s mercy made Pang Shuangyue tremble, because she had repeatedly plotted against the couple before, even arranging an assassination for Li Qingmu.

Each of these was a deadly enmity!

What would she do?

Surely exert every effort to torment her!

So, Pang Shuangyue panicked, seeing Long Yue enter, her entire body quivered.

"Sister, you, you... what do you want?"

She tried to move back, her voice trembling.

"Come to see my dear sister, how is she doing?"

Long Yue smilingly stepped forward.

"Heh, you’re here to see my downfall, aren’t you?"

Pang Shuangyue sneered.

Long Yue nodded, "Indeed, I not only came to see your downfall but to torment you because I feel... just dying is too easy for you!"
