Chapter 543 (2/2)

The gossipers were impressive indeed, to even know such a thing. If Li Yue knew of the gossips she’d definitely hate Ye Lang more.

Regarding this piece of news, everyone thought that the thirteenth master treated her very well so it wasn’t too bad. And they looked great together.

“No, I mean, even if they both get together, then what? Can she change the empress’mind? Let’s not forget the main reason why the thirteenth master can’t come back.”

“Because Her Majesty…” the answer appeared in everyone’s minds. It was only after this reminder they realised where the problem was.

It was true. If they actually got together, Ye Lang would still not return.

“What could make the thirteenth master stay? Who could change the empress’ mind? She’s no ordinary person…”

“No one can change her mind!” the guy started to make them guess what he meant.

“Hmmph…” someone scoffed, annoyed.

“Cough cough, because, it’s related to the empress herself!”

“What? The empress?”

“Yep! It’s related to her, and if I tell you this, none of you would believe me!” this guy started to build the suspense again, though this time, he got the response he wanted.

“What?” everyone was curious, they wanted to know.

“Let me tell you this- you must be careful, don’t tell anyone or the empress would punish you- you know how she is, you definitely don’t want to face that, do you?”

“No!” everyone shook their heads.

“This is related to the empress because from what we see, the empress and the thirteenth prince do not look like they were just enemies, it’s as if there’s a story behind this.”

“What story?”

“I don’t know. No one knows but we only know a little from her attitude towards the thirteenth master. They were the only ones present but I believe the thirteenth master has already forgotten…”

“...”

If the thirteenth master had forgotten about this, this meant that no one would ever know the truth- how could the empress tell anyone about it?

“You know this- both the thirteenth master and the empress participated in the group hunt. A few days after the hunt started, they met each other- this wasn’t on purpose, it was merely a coincidence. This was confirmed by the people with them. And you know that if they ever met, even if it didn’t escalate into an all-out war, they would never talk to each other-- and at that time, the thirteenth master also intended to chase her out!”
