Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress - Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Drunken Trance

Several days later, the general of Nanli retreated. Han Moze dismissed his men back to court.

Han Moze continued drinking wine, as he sat in the carriage.

“Lian Jiuhua, Your Majesty big brother, why do you look so sad? Are you done drinking every day?” Xu Ziling asked curiously, when she walked up to Lian Jiuhua.

Lian Jiuhua grinned helplessly. “There’s no use for you to know. Mind your own business. His Majesty will return to normal after some time,” he said flatly.

“But even so, I think Your Majesty big brother seems to be really hurt or something. He’s depressed every day and doesn’t care about anyone. His temper got worse, and he’s truly unreadable!” said Xu Ziling in confusion, as she looked over at the carriage with pursed lips.

“It’d be odd for women like you with big boobs and no brain to be able to read him!” Grunted Lian Jiuhua softly.

Xu Ziling suddenly grabbed a rock and threw it at Lian Jiuhua. “I dare you to say that again! You dare look down on me? You must be bored of living, aren’t you?” She said angrily.

Lian Jiuhua was so shocked, his face changed and quickly flashed a fake smile. “Great Young Lady Xu, you are clever, wise, and sharp. You are both brave and intelligent, a female hero! I am the one who didn’t recognize true greatness!” He groveled.

“Hmph! Fine! If you don’t want to tell me about Your Majesty big brother, then forget it. One of these days, I’ll find out!” After Xu Ziling cruelly said, she rode away.

Le Zhengyu sighed softly. “Lian Jiuhua, who would date marry that Young Lady Xu? She has a truly awful temper! She gets violent if you say anything out of line! And, she’s unreasonable!”

Lian Jiuhua slightly furrowed his elegant brows. “Perhaps His Majesty would marry her!” He said.

“Ah? Lian Jiuhua, why would he marry a woman like that?” Le Zhengyu blinked in confusion.

Lian Jiuhua sighed. “General Xu saved His Majesty’s life and on top of that, General Xu has always loved her dearly. If Her Majesty the Empress doesn’t return, then he would most probably marry Xu Ziling.”

“Then what should we do? Don’t tell me there’s no way of getting Big Sister back!” cried Le Zhengyu with a heavy heart.

Lian Jiuhua let out a long sigh. “There’s no one in the world who can defeat the blond man. Her Majesty will most likely be taken back to the Celestial world and leave this place.”

Le Zhengyu looked over at the carriage with a hint of pity in his eyes. “Poor big brother!”

“Ah… I really hope Heaven has eyes and Her Majesty will return to Little Brother’s side!” Lian Jiuhua slightly furrowed his brows with a hopeful look on his face.

In the carriage, Han Moze looked even more distressed when he overheard the conversation outside.

He finished drinking an entire jug of wine, then smashed it to the floor.

“Shuang’er, Shuang’er…” He mumbled softly.

He continued to rub his aching forehead, then leaned back into the carriage. With his hazy, drunken vision, he seemed to reminiscing past events.

In the evening, the army set up camp in the wilderness.

Lian Jiuhua walked up to the carriage and took a quick sneak peek inside. To his surprise, he saw Han Moze had long fallen asleep, so all he could do was helplessly carry Han Moze off the carriage.

He walked over to the tent.

He placed the sleeping Han Moze on the bed in the tent, then picked up and soaked a cloth to wipe his face.

Lian Jiuhua gazed at Han Moze’s exceptionally handsome face, then sighed. “I used to think you were heaven’s treasure, but in reality, you were given a harsh slap in the face. Damn… It looks like the heavens don’t really miss you that much! You used to be strong and domineering. You used to do whatever you wanted and didn’t care about anyone. Then, you met Her Majesty the Empress and became even more gentle and caring. Your temper even got better, but now… Her Majesty has been kidnapped. Sigh!”

Lian Jiuhua let out a long sigh and continued to wipe Han Moze clean.
