The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

Mu Chenye was still wearing a cloak and did not take it off until he entered the room. It was obvious that he came here directly after returning from the military camp.

"Your Majesty, have you had your meal yet? Let's eat together?"

Shen Tangan propped up his head and looked at him sideways, with a slightly frivolous smile on his face.

But she was really happy. Perhaps after two days of spending time together, her impression of him deepened.

"thanks for treatment."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chenye's brows softened and the coldness in his body dissipated. He then sat down opposite her.

I felt that it was really presumptuous to come here in such a hurry, and I was afraid of displeasing her.

But after seeing her appearance, he felt rare joy in his heart, and she generously invited him to have dinner with her. It seemed that he had to urge his brother to do something.

"Does Your Majesty always come back so late from the military camp? I thought you were in danger again. But if you didn't bring me along, you would be able to handle it easily with your skills."

For some reason, Shen Tangan felt his appetite improve when seeing such a face, and he smiled and chatted with him casually.

However, her unintentional words sounded different to Mu Chenye.

He frowned slightly, looked at the person opposite him seriously, and even sat up straight.

"I never thought that your existence would cause me any trouble. If you hadn't sacrificed yourself to save me, I would have been nothing but a pile of dry bones. I owe you two lives."

Shen Tangan paused for a moment as he was picking up the food. Faced with such a serious person, he didn't know how to react.

She didn't mean it like that, she was just joking with him, why did he take it so seriously?

He was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks, folded his hands to support his chin, and narrowed his eyes with cunning.

"Then why doesn't the prince agree to marry me?"

She smiled like a charming fox. Mu Chenye was captivated at a glance and turned his head away in panic.

"I have never said I don't want to..."

His voice was so soft that it was blown away by the wind.

"what?"

Shen Tangan didn't hear clearly, so he tilted his head and moved closer to him.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I should have been the one to speak up about this. I was saved by you, and this life is yours. No matter how you want to take it away, I will never complain."

Mu Chenye took a deep breath, turned his head and stared at her with unprecedented seriousness.

"I have already asked my brother to marry you as my princess. When you recover from your injury and return to the Marquis' Mansion, the imperial decree to grant the marriage will be issued."

"Ok?"

Shen Tangan was shocked. She never expected that what she said half-jokingly had already been put into action by the man opposite her.

"No, isn't this a bit sudden?"

Suddenly, a trace of timidity emerged from nowhere. Now she didn't dare to look the person opposite her in the eye. How did things turn out like this?

This man is too serious!

She...she's not ready yet!

Besides, isn’t tonight just a simple meal?

Why does it look like a proposal scene?

"You do not want it?"

Mu Chenye keenly noticed that she was in a bad mood. His eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes unconsciously.

Is it because he didn't do well enough?

Or... is she worried about something?

Whatever it is, he can solve it!

"That's not what I meant. Your Majesty, I'm still engaged to the Crown Prince, how can I marry you directly?"

Shen Tangan didn't dare to look him in the eye and didn't know how to answer. He suddenly had an idea and used the prince as a shield.

It’s not that she was unwilling, it’s just too sudden!

She was not used to the fact that she, who had always thought herself to be in a superior position, suddenly became passive.

"Your engagement with the prince will naturally be annulled. This matter has already been considered by the king. You don't have to worry."

Mu Chenye snorted coldly, and his eyes became even colder when he mentioned the prince.

For the sake of the second lady of the Shen family, the prince has spoken nonsense and humiliated her in public many times. He will seek justice for her in this matter.

"Didn't you say that you didn't want to marry the prince? If so, wouldn't it be a happy ending for everyone if you marry me? Or are you dissatisfied with me?"

"what?"

Shen Tangan was confused. What kind of vicious words were these?

She looked at the serious man in front of her in shock. The imperial decree to grant marriage was already ready. It was obvious that he came prepared.

However, can the emperor easily agree to cancel the engagement?

She cried several times in the palace. The prince did so many ridiculous things to her, but His Majesty did not let her go. What did he do?

"How did you get His Majesty to agree to let the Crown Prince cancel his engagement with me?"

"Is now the time to talk about this?"

Mu Chenye stared at her for a moment and sighed helplessly.

He lowered his head and picked up the chopsticks, no longer forcing her to agree immediately. After all, this matter was sudden, so it would be better to give her some time to accept it.

"Let's have a meal."

"Your Majesty, how did you convince His Majesty? Why didn't you tell me?"

His attempt to cover up something only aroused Shen Tangan's curiosity even more. He wanted to pry open his brain and sneak in to take a peek.

But she didn't have the ability to do so, so she could only chase him and ask.

"This matter..."

Seeing her so anxious, Mu Chenye smiled indulgently, raised the end of his chopsticks, tapped her forehead, and deliberately prolonged the ending tone.

Shen Tangan's eyes widened as he stared at his lips, eager to know the answer that was about to come out.

Unexpectedly, he changed the subject and said, "I'll tell you when the time is right."

"Your Majesty!"

She suddenly became anxious. This matter really made her feel anxious, but looking at Mu Chenye's expression, it was obvious that he was unwilling to tell her, so she could only return to her seat in disappointment.

However, she suddenly remembered that she was not innocent.

Although she had her eyes on Mu Chenye, if he minded, it would be better to cancel the marriage as soon as possible.

However, from what he said, His Majesty had even prepared the imperial decree to grant the marriage, and it would be issued as soon as she returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

No wonder he could bring himself back to the Marquis' Mansion openly. Several days have passed and there has been no movement outside. It seems that he has arranged it very well!

It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to confess her loss of virginity before getting married.

Before that, she had to prepare a way out for herself. After all, if she broke off the engagement with the Crown Prince, she could blame it on his misconduct. If she broke off the engagement with Prince Chen, she felt that everyone in the Central Jin Dynasty, young or old, regardless of gender, would attack her. She had to plan a way to escape, just in case.

She can't trust a man wholeheartedly, nor can she put all her hopes on a man, no matter how much she likes the man in front of her!

Her life is more important!

Moreover, humans are selfish creatures. She couldn't say it now. She had to plan a way out before she could confess to him.

After all, the risk she would have to take in this matter was too great, and she didn't dare to take the risk.

"What are you thinking about?"

Mu Chenye noticed that she was distracted and reminded her.

"I was thinking, the prince actually took the offer of 'giving yourself to me' seriously. I wonder if the prince wanted to repay me for saving his life, or if he wanted to get something else from me."

Shen Tangan smiled, hiding all his thoughts deep in his heart, and appeared flawless on the surface.
