Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress - Chapter 200

Chapter 200: On Considerably Good Terms

Han Moze saw the tears build up in Liu Rushuang’s eyes and smirked wickedly. “Do you love me?”

Liu Rushuang fiercely clenched her fists. “I love you. Now, let go,” she said helplessly.

Han Moze smiled, then let go and turned around.

Liu Rushuang glared furiously at Han Moze’s back and heaved heavily for a while. Then, she grabbed the cloth and admitted defeat by washing him.

Could someone take this tyrant out?

Han Moze felt the light yet heavy-handed movements and chuckled. “You’re a lot more obedient than you were three months ago.”

Liu Rushuang thought about three months ago and her body couldn’t help but shudder. Every time she fought back, she would end up being unbearably tortured. Gradually, she had given up fighting back and became obedient. She didn’t dare run away anymore because she simply couldn’t.

After bathing, Han Moze embraced Liu Rushuang in bed. “Ziling is General Xu’s daughter. Treat her a little nicer when she comes to visit you. I’ve let her temporarily stay in the palace. When she’s had enough, she’ll naturally go back,” he said flatly.

Liu Rushuang thought about the very pretty girl dressed in purple today. “Since you treat that girl so nice, why won’t you take her as your empress?” She asked curiously.

Han Moze held Liu Rushuang’s little hand and placed it upon his own chest. “Because I can only hold you alone in here,” he said with a seductive smile.

Liu Rushuang immediately looked uncomfortable. Why was this tyrant frequently cheesy with her?

“I’ll treat her well,” she replied whilst she pulled her hand away.

“That’s good.” Han Moze tightly hugged Liu Rushuang and smiled. “The capital will hold its annual A Hundred Flowers Festival on Mount Serene Pavilion. It’ll be a spectacular event. On the day, you must also attend.”

Liu Rushuang’s eyelashes fluttered like a fan, as she curiously asked, “A Hundred Flowers Festival? To admire flowers?”

Han Moze pulled a seductive smile. “More or less. But it’s mostly to admire the people. On the day, there’ll be a talent competition for all the noble women of the capital. The winner will be awarded the title of Flower Queen. What’s more, there’ll also be a generous reward.”

“Uh huh, I got it, ” replied Liu Rushuang, unconcerned.

The next day, Xu Ziling arrived at the Dark Moon Palace.

“Your Majesty, I would like to stroll around the palace with you. Do you mind?” Ziling’s face was filled with a smile like glistening spring flowers at daybreak.

Liu Rushuang smiled and nodded. “Alright, I also want to go out for a stroll.”

Xu Ziling walked beside Liu Rushuang and observed her ordinary complexion with a sinister glint which flashed across her eyes.

She was obviously better than this cold empress, and yet why did Brother Han not fall for her?

When they walked to a peaceful area, Xu Ziling smiled and said, “The imperial palace is truly beautiful! My mood has improved significantly after our stroll.”

“The scenery in the imperial palace is really beautiful but I’d rather look at the scenery outside,” Liu Rushuang replied with an emotionless smile.

The light in Xu Ziling’s eyes dimmed. Did she say that she wasn’t having a good time staying in the palace? The view outside is good and she should just go? Hmph, she wasn’t going to leave!

As it was almost noon, Liu Rushuang and Xu Ziling walked towards the Dark Moon Palace.

Ziling glanced at the palace maid beside her and suddenly shoved Liu Rushuang.

“It’s all your fault! You made Brother Han abandon me! Give me back Brother Han!”

Liu Rushuang’s face looked extremely tense. How could she change just like that? Xu Ziling immediately shoved Liu Rushuang hard on the shoulders.

Liu Rushuang was completely angry now, and struck Ziling’s shoulder hard.
