Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

The day before Prince Yun prepared to assassinate the Emperor.

He was called into the palace by the emperor again.

In the past few days, the emperor has only attended the morning court and has ignored state affairs, indulging in love affairs all day long.

Now when he thought of Yue'er, his heart still ached slightly, but it was much better than before.

When he met King Yun again, his mentality was different.

There was a hint of kindness in his brows, and he asked people to put all the food that King Yun liked on the table.

He also took Prince Yun to his private vault and let Prince Yun choose at will.

He said with deep feeling: "Yun'er, I am sorry to your mother, I will definitely make it up to you in the future.

Take this military token. This is the private army I established to protect Yue'er. Now I want them to protect you."

Prince Yun, who had never tasted fatherly love, lowered his head.

Maybe it is human nature to desire parental love, but why did he only get it after he decided to kill his father?

Everything is too late.

But he was not stupid. He accepted the military token with emotion in his eyes.

He played the role of a filial son who poured a cup of tea for the emperor.

The emperor drank the tea as if it were a treasure, and praised it repeatedly, "My son is filial, this is the best tea I have ever tasted..."

Prince Yun felt complicated, but he looked embarrassed.

He seemed to muster up the courage to express his true feelings, "Father, I never thought that this day would come. In fact, I understand you and know that it was not easy for you to raise me. But what breaks my heart is that you never treated me as your own son."

"I was wrong. I will be a good father in the future." The emperor opened the secret compartment under the table in front of Prince Yun. "Look, this is the imperial edict I wrote to sign my succession. I will depose the crown prince first. If you have ambitions, you can sideline me. I have been sidelined for so long that I am used to it.

From now on, I will send all memorials to you. Whichever woman of mine you like, I will give her to you..."

Prince Yun finally couldn't continue acting anymore and whispered, "Father, I'm tired. Can I go back first?"

"Okay, go back when you are tired, and take the things I gave you back with you."

Prince Yun bowed to express his gratitude and returned to the palace in the night.

Taking back with him was the emperor's reward, several boxes of priceless jewels that shone charmingly under the light.

Shen Xingxi took King Yun's hand and walked into the room, whispering, "Are you moved?"

Prince Yun buried his face in the princess' neck, "I thought I wouldn't long for father's love. Now that I think about it, when I was a child and was bullied by the queen, my first reaction was to ask my father for help.

He was really a good father today, and even showed me the imperial edict of succession. But it's too late. I can't help but think of conspiracy theories about his actions today. I can't believe what he said, but why does my heart hurt?

Princess, my plan is to kill him myself tomorrow.

Why would he disturb my heart at this time? "

Shen Xingxi patted his back gently, "If you can't bear it, I'll do it. He has been in power for so many years, he is incompetent and lawless, the people are living in misery, he has harmed countless innocent women, and the court is full of evil tendencies. It's not a pity that he should die."

"Let me do it." Prince Yun sighed softly, "It's not that I can't bear it, but the role of father is more important to me. He suddenly filled the gap in my heart, which disturbed my heart."

He stood up and walked to the window. "Princess, I have never told you why I hate thunder and lightning."

He asked his servants to stay away and not look towards the window.

He jumped onto the windowsill, took out a rope, wrapped it around the window frame, and tied it around his wrists.

“When I was little, I was often taken to a remote palace by eunuchs, where my mother would be hung from a window and whipped by a eunuch.

That was my nightmare, and you made me dare to recall the scene at that time."

He closed his eyes. "Although my mother looked painful at that time, it was similar to the pain I felt when I was tortured by the princess before. Princess, I said before that I wanted to try it. You said that I had special reasons. Today I propose it again. Will you do as I wish?"

"Can you help me tie the knot?"

Shen Xingxi walked to the window and asked softly, "What's the point of recreating the previous scene?"

Behind King Yun was a bright moon hanging high in the sky, the moonlight shining on him, making his smile look like a god descending to earth, with clear wind and bright moon.

He knelt on the windowsill, with his hands suspended in the air by the rope.

He put his face on Shen Xingxi's shoulder and said softly, "If my mother likes it, I can like it too, Princess, let me indulge myself for a while."

His eyes were red, and he looked at the princess pitifully: "Princess, please have pity on me."

Shen Xingxi smiled, "Prince Yun's ability to act pitiful is getting better and better."

Prince Yun's cheeks suddenly turned red. "Where did I reveal my flaws?"

"Your pants."

King Yun: “…”

He was silent for a moment, rubbed his hair against the princess' neck and asked, "So, will the princess tie the knot?"

The handsome man knelt in front of her, arching his neck like a puppy, with his hands restrained. The posture was a little awkward but it made her feel more forced.

In this situation, Shen Xingxi couldn't help but tie a beautiful bow.

She suddenly jumped up, pushed King Yun against the window frame, and kissed him on the lips.

The autumn wind was chilly, but it couldn't blow away the heat from their bodies.

The branches swayed, and Shen Xingxi bit his fingertips.

The fingertips trembled slightly, and the slight pain seemed to carry an electric current, making King Yun's body numb.

His breathing became heavier, with a slight wheeze.

Shen Xingxi pulled her knotted hands to the top of his head and placed them on her chest muscles.
