Yelu Yan's Adam's apple moved slightly as he lowered his head to gaze at Li Xianyun, cautiously asking, "You've heard about the Grand Imperial Consort's matter, haven't you?"
"Mhm."
Yelu Yan's thin lips parted lightly as he spoke, "Do you think your husband is too cruel and ruthless?"
He cared deeply about Li Xianyun's opinion of him and didn't want any incident to cause her to have any resentment toward him.
It had not been easy for him to win Li Xianyun's affection; he always feared losing her and often acted out of anxiety.
This was unlike him, but he couldn't help himself.
Ever since Li Xianyun had married him, he often found himself unable to control his emotions, a sensation he had never experienced before.
Li Xianyun smiled and said, "She wasn't kind or gentle to you either. Matters of power do require some ruthless tactics, I know that."
