Empress Liu gazed at Ye Lingyue in front of her, as if she were meeting her for the first time.
At fourteen, this girl, younger than her own royal son, employed tactics far more sinister than her own and those of Noble Princess Consort Luo's kind.
Empress Liu would not admit it verbally, but her eyes betrayed her.
"Liu Empress, now you should understand why I am unwilling to marry the Sixth Prince. I, Ye Lingyue, am a spiteful and vengeful person. If the Sixth Prince were to marry me, he must forever be devoted only to me, and he can only have children with me. Do you still think someone like me is suitable to be your daughter-in-law, to be the future Empress of Daxia?" Ye Lingyue said with a smile.
Empress Liu's complexion changed.
She admitted that she had her own selfish motives.
She had initially chosen Ye Lingyue because Ye Lingyue and the Lan Residence could help Xiahou Qi. Empress Liu also saw in Ye Lingyue the decisiveness that the Sixth Prince lacked.
