Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 779: Flaws Exposed

Li Qingmu was taken aback; he didn’t understand much about women’s matters, but he knew this could become very troublesome.

"Before coming, I’ve already made some arrangements, but you must know, those midwives are not easy to deal with! Moreover... what I’m most afraid of is whether the Princess will let Aunt Yin deliver my baby?"

Li Qingmu’s pupils contracted slightly; if Yin Li were to deliver, it would definitely be exposed!

His eyes shifted slightly, and he had an idea, but the idea was too risky, and he fell into silence.

"Have you thought of a solution?"

Long Yue, seeing the man silent, knew that he already had a countermeasure, but his silence made Long Yue worry.

"There’s a way, we could give birth outside the palace, but doing so would increase the risk. Also, Mother certainly wouldn’t agree!"

Long Yue thought about it; this idea was feasible. She had already given birth once, and she knew medicine, so giving birth herself, or finding a midwife, was also doable.

"Regarding the Princess, the risk... the risk isn’t great. A Mu, to be honest, letting me give birth in the palace is the biggest risk! After all, Empress Nianxi and Princess Consort De are watching closely!"

Li Qingmu fell into silence; Long Yue was right, these people wouldn’t watch her have the child quietly, and if someone stabbed in the back, it would be trouble.

"If we go outside to give birth, how do we get out is the problem!"

"Maybe... we can ask Broken Jade for help!"

That’s right, how could he forget Broken Jade? That guy was in the Music Bureau, inconspicuous, and if they had him pretend to ’abduct’ Long Yue out of the palace, that would be ideal.

But in doing so, he would be exposed.

"A Mu?"

"Let me think about this more, best to come up with a foolproof plan. Also, I need to meet with Broken Jade."

"Alright!"

Childbirth is a major matter, so naturally, it needs to be discussed thoroughly.

That night, Li Qingmu silently arrived at Broken Jade’s room.

Broken Jade was about to sleep, startled by his sudden intrusion, and was about to make a move. Li Qingmu easily stopped him and coldly said, "Such a big reaction to such a small movement, it’s a good thing they don’t suspect you, otherwise a casual probe would expose you!"

Recognizing Li Qingmu, Broken Jade relaxed, lazily lying back on the bed in a sprawled position, and casually said, "Oh, probing? Only someone like you would be this boring! So, what brings you here?"

Seeing his lazy demeanor, Li Qingmu felt an urge to hit him and said coldly, "Need you to do me a favor!"

"Oh? Is it because of that little wife of yours?"

Li Qingmu’s face darkened at Broken Jade’s frivolous words; truly irritating!

"Yes!"

"Then you better think it through, once you do this, I’ll be exposed!"

Broken Jade looked distressed; he had finally infiltrated here, was he to be exposed so soon?

"There’s still two months, should be enough!"

"Hmm?" Broken Jade hesitated, then, disregarding his own image, flipped up in sudden realization, "You... you figured out the flaw in his cultivation technique?"

That was astounding, given the technique had been passed down and evolved for years, very few could spot its flaws, and those who could were exceptional.

So, Broken Jade looked at Li Qingmu with a mix of tension, excitement, and disbelief.

He desperately wanted a definite answer.

Li Qingmu said, "I’ve noticed some clues, but need more time to mull it over, so these two months are perfect for research. However, it may not be resolved."

Broken Jade was just about to jump up and applaud, but hearing the latter half of Li Qingmu’s statement, he instantly deflated: "You... you’re not prepared, acting now might directly break with You Su, isn’t this too rash?"

Li Qingmu was silent.

In truth, as long as Broken Jade wasn’t involved, he would have plenty of time to maneuver, but once You Su realized it was Broken Jade, a member of Tianxing Pavilion, then they would indeed be at odds.

Li Qingmu shook his head lightly, "What must come will come eventually, hiding won’t help, and besides, I don’t want Mother to be trapped deeper, better to face things sooner."

As a son, he naturally cared for his mother, as did Li Qingmu. He felt Rong Si was certainly under You Su’s influence and wanted to remove her from it as soon as possible!

"Alright then, since you’re determined, I guess I can’t stop you, what’s more to do but cooperate?"

With a self-deprecating smile, Broken Jade lay back on the bed. "We’re done talking, Your Majesty should leave! I won’t be escorting you out!"

Tianxing Pavilion was always like this, never putting the Emperor in their eyes,

and of course, they did have the means to back it up!

After Li Qingmu left Broken Jade’s room, he slowly sat up.

Watching the direction in which Li Qingmu disappeared, he muttered to himself, "This man’s martial arts are progressing quickly, before I could easily gauge his pace, but now... in such a short time, I can’t see through him!"

Even Broken Jade was amazed by this and simultaneously hopeful that Li Qingmu might be the first to unravel You Su.

"If you can beat You Su, you’ll become the king in my heart, hahaha..."

Broken Jade picked up a cup of wine, poured himself a drink, and spoke to the bright moon outside the window.

When Long Yue opened her eyes again, daylight had already broken, even heating her rear; it was because she had slept so soundly. Last night, Li Qingmu said he was going to see Broken Jade, and Long Yue waited to hear the news firsthand.

However, this man never came, so she stayed awake late into the night, waiting.

As a result, she couldn’t get up early in the morning.

"Madam, His Majesty is here again!"

A little palace maid ran in excitedly, using the word "again," which indicated that this Emperor frequently came to see her mistress, a bragging point when shared with others.

Long Yue had just woken up, and in a sleepy daze, she heard Li Qingmu had come. She simply rubbed her eyes, acknowledged, and continued to sleep.

When Li Qingmu came in, he saw an adorable little cat, curled up in bed. That sight was too lovable, making him itch with affection. His gaze deepened as he gently approached her.

Long Yue was still sleeping; even with the Emperor’s presence, she continued to sleep as she pleased. This man, in the eyes of others, might be an imposing Emperor, but to her, Li Qingmu was still the one who mended clothes in Qingshui Village.

He had never changed, so she felt no need to change either.

"Yue’er!"

Li Qingmu, having dismissed the palace maid and eunuch, dared to call his little woman "Yue’er," a name only fitting for her, as she was as radiant and beautiful as the bright moon in the sky, its silver light falling like frosty white.

He leaned down and gently kissed her forehead.
