After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Zhao Ying wanted to stop him, but she was no match for the man's strength.

Afterwards, Shangguan Shu carried Zhao Ying to the bed without saying a word, quickly stripped off her wet clothes, stuffed her into the quilt, and then... stepped into the cold bathtub to cool down.

Zhao Ying sat on the bed wrapped in a blanket, looking at Shangguan Shu not far away, and asked knowingly: "Why do you want to soak in cold water? Did you take Chinese medicine too?"

As soon as the words fell, the man sneered. He closed his eyes and his voice sounded a little weird. "Are you expecting me to take Chinese medicine?"

Zhao Ying didn't comment, her expression became more cheerful. Anyway, she wasn't the one who was suffering now...

The man opposite seemed to sense her pleasure. His sharp eyes suddenly opened and stared at her straight, like a beast that had locked onto its target, deep and elusive.

After a while, he suddenly raised his lips and said wickedly, "Ying'er, what do you think if I hide you and set up a trap for the outside world, so that your father will think that you fell off a cliff and died..."

Zhao Ying looked at Shangguan Shu in disbelief.

The smile on Shangguan Shu's lips grew bigger. He moved his tall body and found a more comfortable position. He raised his eyebrows and said with a bit of pride, "When the time comes, I will chain you to my bed all day long, leaving you helpless, just like..."

Shangguan Shu left a tail sound, which was meaningful.

"you dare!"

Shangguan Shu snorted coldly.

Zhao Ying shook her head and sighed, "I really didn't expect that you look elegant and decent on the outside, but you are actually a black-hearted pervert at heart!"

"You are the same, aren't you? The whole court praised Princess Chengqian for her elegance and sincerity, but not a single word of truth came out of her mouth!"

Zhao Ying was surprised, "How dare you say that I didn't tell the truth?"

"What else? You said... that you are still devoted to me and will come back to me even after we get divorced. What was the result? Do you dare to say that you didn't lie?" Shangguan Shu turned his eyes away, his tone resentful.

Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows nonchalantly, "You have lied to me for more than ten years, and I only lied to you about this one thing, so you still made money."

Shangguan Shu's arrogance was instantly extinguished.

He looked a little unnatural, coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "I will never lie to you again in the future." He looked at Zhao Ying solemnly, "I swear, if I lie to you or hide anything from you again, I will be punished by heaven and earth, and I will not be reincarnated after death."

Zhao Ying said coldly: "If an oath is valid, what is the point of the law?"

"Then what do you want me to do? Just tell me, I'll do anything for you..."

Zhao Ying ignored him and changed the subject, "Why are you here?"

Shangguan Shu did not hide anything from her and told Zhao Ying his identity, how he set up the stronghold, and why she was arrested.

When Zhao Ying first heard that he was the bandit leader whom she had cursed thousands of times, she was so angry that she laughed.

"Shangguan Shu, you actually took my Qi You and Yue Er to become bandits?"

"Qi You and Yue Er are so young, and as a father, you are not teaching them good lessons?"

"Shangguan Shu, do you have any surprises that I don't know about?"

"Where are they?"

Shangguan Shu was severely questioned by Zhao Ying. He felt guilty and answered in a low voice, "They are not here..."

When Zhao Ying thought of the two children, she couldn't sit still. She wanted to see them immediately, "You go! Go and inform those bandits under your command to bring my Yue'er and Qi You over!"

"I've sent someone to watch over it. It's too late today. I'll take you there tomorrow morning!"

Zhao Ying thought about it and nodded in agreement.

It is unsafe to walk at night too late.

Shangguan Shu thought about what to say to please Zhao Ying, and after a while he came up with an idea. He smiled gently and said, "Ying'er, I have good news for you. Qi You has regained his face!"

"What?" Zhao Ying was surprised.

Shangguan Shu's fever had almost died down, so he came out of the bathtub. There were his spare clothes in the room. It was unknown whether he did it on purpose, but he chose to change his clothes in the candlelight, and his strong and firm skin texture suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Ying.

The dim candlelight blurred his figure, making it look a little more hazy.

He had his back to her, his whole body soaked, a string of sparkling water droplets slid down his spine and into his waist.

Zhao Ying narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips.

My mother said that not only men should appreciate the beauty of women, but women can also appreciate the beauty of men. A man with a perfect body should have eight-pack abs and a mermaid line.

Although she didn't know what it was, it must be very beautiful.

Shangguan Shu...has a very good-looking body, so he must have it.

My mother also said that when looking for a husband, you should look for one with a strong penis and good skills, and that women should also enjoy the process of intercourse.

Before the marriage, her mother told her that if the prince of the Zhenguo Duke was not good in that aspect, she should not endure it. With her status, she should divorce him early and not suffer that humiliation...

Mother... you are right...

A man who pleases a woman is a good man.

Shangguan Shu is good in bed but bad out of bed, so he is suitable to be tied up and made her concubine, naked, and dependent on her!

Zhao Ying thought about it and her face felt a little hot.

Shangguan Shu changed his clothes and suddenly turned around, meeting Zhao Ying's eyes.

Zhao Ying's pupils slightly dilated, and the next second, she blinked and pretended to be calm, "You...you haven't told me about Qi You!"

Shangguan Shu tied his belt, with a barely perceptible curl at the corner of his lips, as if he had seen through something.

He sat down next to Zhao Ying, reached out to gather Zhao Ying's quilt, plugged the leak, and then told the story of how Zhao Yao kidnapped Shangguan Qiyou and restored his face... Finally, he threw Zhao Ziyan off the cliff and assassinated Zhao Yao in the middle of the night.

Zhao Ying felt relieved after listening to this and nodded with satisfaction.

However, after a while, she looked at Shangguan Shu with a half-smile, "Zhao Ziyin has called you father for so many years, how could you be so cruel?"

Shangguan Shu asked back, "Why not?"

"He claimed a random father, but I don't claim a random child. Believe it or not, I have never had any father-son feelings for him from the beginning to the end."

"Then you still want to rebel and make him the crown prince?"

Shangguan Shu: ...

"That's equivalent to my compensation to Zhao Yao..."

Zhao Ying stared at Shangguan Shu deeply for a moment, as if to confirm the truthfulness of his words. Finally, she felt relieved.

"Shangguan Shu, no matter what happens between you and me, I hope you will take our children into consideration. Although there is no possibility for you and me to be together anymore, I hope you will love them. I hope my children will always grow up in a loving environment... This is also the reason why I didn't tell them what you did."

"You can't give me my loyal and irreplaceable love, but I want you to give my children a fatherly love that no one can compare to."

Shangguan Shu's heart sank, and an overwhelming sense of bitterness and sadness swept over him.

No more possibility...

No more possibility...

Shangguan Shu kept nodding his head, responding to Zhao Ying's words, telling her that he would always love their child, but he also wanted to tell her that his love for her was deep in his bones and irreplaceable. Could he give him another chance, just once...
