Chapter 450

Empress Zhangsun was so embarrassed her face turned bright red, and she didn't know what to say.

A dignified Empress of a nation, actually having her own son act as a matchmaker?

What was originally a legitimate affair between her and Li Er had been turned into something that felt like they were having an illicit tryst.

Who could she even reason with about this?

"Empress, this Old Li fellow might be a bit ugly and not too bright, but overall, he doesn't have any major flaws. You're not young anymore; after divorcing that Li Lao Er of the Great Tang, you have to plan for your own future, don't you?"

"I think! Why not make it a double blessing? How about the two of you get married right here in the Ancient City of Jingjue?"

Qin Mu said with earnest concern.

Pfft!

Hearing this, Empress Zhangsun and Li Er were so shocked they nearly vomited blood and died.

Damn it!

They were already husband and wife; did they really have to get married all over again?

The two of them were completely floored by Qin Mu!

"What? Old Li, are you unwilling?"

Qin Mu frowned.

This old guy Old Li didn't look like much, yet he dared to be picky about the Great Tang Empress?

This was truly outrageous!

No!

I have to make the decision for the Empress!

Qin Mu's heart was filled with a sense of justice, and he imagined a grand drama.

A lecherous old man seducing a respectable woman, only to refuse to take responsibility afterward!

In broad daylight!

How could someone as righteous as Qin Mu let such a thing happen?

"Ah, this?" Li Er opened his mouth, a thousand words stuck in his chest, and he couldn't say a single one.

Damn it!

Why does it feel like I'm dreaming?

How am I supposed to answer this?

Empress Zhangsun was already my Empress; does he need to be meddling in this? Li Er figured that if he said that out loud, he would immediately be hacked into pieces.

Qin Mu's orders could not be disobeyed!

This was the truth he had learned for survival after all this time.

Whoever disobeyed Qin Mu's orders would have only one end.

Death!

How could Empress Zhangsun not know what Li Er was thinking?

She nudged Li Er and said softly: "Old Li, just agree to it!"

Li Er looked at Empress Zhangsun and suddenly felt ecstatic.

That's right!

If he married Guanyin Bi again, wouldn't the matter of the divorce be resolved naturally?

Brilliant!

Qin Mu, I really have to thank you!

You're on a whole other level!

"Many thanks, Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful!"

Li Er cupped his hands and bowed to Qin Mu.

"That's more like it!" Qin Mu nodded in satisfaction and smiled: "Since you both agree, then don't delay this matter; get married tomorrow!" After saying this, Qin Mu turned and left with a smile.

Empress Zhangsun and Li Er wanted to say something, but by the time they intended to speak, Qin Mu was already gone.

In the back garden.

The two stood for a long time, their hearts truly unable to calm down.

"Hahaha! Interesting, truly interesting! Could this be heaven's arrangement?"

Suddenly, Li Er burst into a hearty laugh.

He was laughing at himself, and he was laughing at fate.

Everything seemed to have been arranged in the dark.

After going around in circles for so long.

Li Er never dreamed he would reconcile with Empress Zhangsun in such a way.

"Don't be happy too soon! If you make me unhappy again one day, it won't be you divorcing me, but me divorcing you!"

Empress Zhangsun said, feigning anger.

"Yes, yes, yes! How could I stumble over the same thing twice? Guanyin Bi, to tell you the truth, after divorcing you, I actually regretted it deeply. I've been living in a daze for so long; that's no way for a person to live. Only today do I realize how important you are to me."

Li Er looked at Empress Zhangsun sincerely and poured out all the words he had kept in his heart for so long.

He was truly grateful to Qin Mu.

If Qin Mu hadn't meddled, given Li Er's personality, he really wouldn't have been able to lower his head.

Fortunately, Qin Mu had forcibly pushed his head down!

Listening to Li Er's sweet talk, the corners of Empress Zhangsun's mouth couldn't help but lift.

It felt like she had found the feeling of being a young girl in love again!

The Royal Palace sleeping quarters.

The dim candlelight flickered.

Qin Mu stood alone by the window, gazing at the night sky, his eyes reflecting the brilliant stars.
