You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Yi Yi lowered her head and shook it. "Your Majesty, I cannot reveal who it was."

Saved by Gong Yue, there was no way Yi Yi would expose her. If she did, she would undoubtedly face the wrath of Emperor Ye Hua. Gong Yue was precious to her, and she couldn't risk it.

Ye Hua walked slowly towards her, and Yi Yi couldn't help but step back. The black iron bars couldn't hinder Ye Hua's figure as he effortlessly passed through, similar to Gong Yue.

"Why can't you say?" Ye Hua approached Yi Yi step by step, forcing her to retreat. The immense pressure made Yi Yi uncomfortable until she had no choice but to keep moving back.

Ye Hua stood right in front of Yi Yi, looking down at the spy. Her acting skills were astonishing. If Huang Fei hadn't admitted it himself, she might have deceived him. The pitiful appearance, the powerless gaze toward the supreme power – she was truly a drama queen!

Ye Hua grabbed Yi Yi's chin, lifting her head. "Speak! Who gave you the medicine?" he coldly demanded.

Yi Yi's gaze gradually became determined, and she said in a low voice, "I won't tell."

Ye Hua took a deep breath. "Do you know? Those who resist me in the end have no good outcome! You will die!"

"I won't tell even if I die," Yi Yi replied stubbornly, with a hint of anger!

For a girl as obedient as Yi Yi, rarely displaying negative emotions, and even rarer to show anger, it was surprising. Yet, she was angry at Ye Hua!

Ye Hua was furious now.

"Then go die for me!" Ye Hua grabbed Yi Yi's neck from under her chin, lifting her off the ground. She clutched his wrists, her face turning red, and her feet began to struggle.

Ye Hua wished to crush this ant directly! She caused his mother to lose the medicine, and made the relationship with Juetian awkward – all because of her!

She was indeed an excellent spy. Although she couldn't harm him physically, she managed to hurt him emotionally. In this world, only this method could cause Ye Hua harm. 'Huang Fei, you're quite clever!'

Yi Yi felt breathing becoming difficult. Her brain started to feel dizzy due to lack of oxygen. Was she going to die now?

But she didn't want to die yet. She hadn't seen Ye Ye again. If only she could see him again.

Suddenly, Yi Yi felt her neck loosen. Her body fell to the ground, and fresh, humid air entered her lungs. Her brain cleared up a bit.

However, what followed was intense coughing.

Cough, cough, cough!

Ye Hua stood in front of Yi Yi, determined not to let her die so easily.

"I'm curious, why does Little Tian like you so much?" Ye Hua slowly crouched down, observing Yi Yi's face.

Setting aside other matters, this face was indeed exceptional and beautiful. Women whom Ye Hua praised for their beauty were rare, and Yi Yi was one of them, indicating she had caught his eye.

Yi Yi sat on the ground, breathing heavily. The scattered hair gave her a somewhat dishevelled appearance, but it didn't diminish her beauty.

"It's absurd, isn't it? What if Little Tian finds out that the woman he likes doesn't actually like him, that it's all a lie?" Ye Hua continued, challenging her.

"No, I like Ye Ye. I won't let you talk nonsense!" When it came to this matter, Yi Yi became assertive. This might be a strong determination – she could endure humiliation, but not the ridicule of her feelings.

"Isn't it funny to you? Do you think you can marry Little Tian?" Ye Hua asked coldly.

Yi Yi's expression became resolute. "I like Ye Ye. What's wrong with marrying him?"

"Because I don't agree!" Ye Hua sternly declared. It's not as simple as saying you'll marry! 'Do you think entering the Ye family is so easy?'

Yi Yi glared at Ye Hua, showing no fear. Involving Ye Ye gave Yi Yi great courage. That courage enabled her to confront anything, even the tyrant in front of her.

"You will agree!" Yi Yi asserted.

Ye Hua chuckled, shook his head, and said, "You're too arrogant, ignorant of the vastness of the heavens and the earth. In a few days, your Ye Ye will marry another woman, and you'll be confined here!"

Yi Yi tightly bit her lip and remained silent. Ye Ye would only marry Gong Yue, but knowing that it was a sham marriage, it still hurt.

"You can only live in this dark cell! While he enjoys wealth and glory outside! Maybe it's difficult to part now, but as time goes on, who will remember you?" After saying this, Ye Hua gradually disappeared.

Yi Yi sat there blankly. When he mentioned time passing, Ye Ye would forget her.

It's fake; it must be fake. Ye Ye wouldn't forget her.

Yi Yi took out a mirror, hoping Ye Ye would call her now. But after a long wait, he didn't call.

Leaning against the damp wall, Yi Yi seemed a bit lonely. She hugged her legs tightly, curled up, as if it could provide a bit of warmth.

The sound of water droplets in the dungeon seemed so unique, as if telling Yi Yi that she would only hear this dripping sound for the rest of her life – lonely and heavy.

Leaving the dungeon, Ye Hua went to Le Jing's sleeping quarters.

"Welcome, please have a seat and try the tea Mother brewed." Le Jing was practising the art of tea. Originally, Daji was teaching her, but Daji was currently facing the wall as punishment.

Le Jing brewed a cup of Green Lotus Tea and smiled gently.

Ye Hua also chuckled and picked up the tea cup, closing his eyes to savour the aroma.

Green Lotus Tea had a refreshing effect on the mind. Although it didn't have a significant impact on Ye Hua, the fragrance was pleasant.

Sipping gently, the flavour spread in his mouth, filling it with a delightful aroma that satisfied his taste buds.

"Feeling a bit better now?" Le Jing took a sip herself and asked softly, aware that her son had been troubled for her sake.

"Mother, aren't you upset about this?" Ye Hua asked calmly, wondering why his mother, facing such a situation, didn't show any anger.
