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

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fallen to this point! It's all your fault..."

Before he could finish his words, someone blocked his mouth and he sobbed, unable to utter another word.

She ignored the dirty words and just smiled at her.

"If you keep yelling, I'm afraid I'll cut off your tongue."

The man who had been struggling violently just now no longer dared to move. He glared at her angrily and allowed the servants to carry him out.

"An'er, how do you know these things?"

Shen Jiyuan sighed dejectedly, and looked at her with a little more vigilance.

"It seems that father really doesn't understand my second sister. When she knew she was pregnant, she couldn't wait to come to me to show off. She even said that she would definitely take my position as Crown Princess. Now she has got what she wanted."

Shen Tangan smiled faintly, not caring at all about what her father thought of her.

Even when things had come to this point, he was still so wary of her. In terms of scheming, who in the entire Marquisate could compare to the Marquis of Yong'an!

"Today's incident was caused by Zheng's unreasonable behavior, which frightened you."

When he heard this, his face froze. He thought of how he had often scolded Zheng's mother and daughter in the past, and he couldn't help feeling guilty.

"Father, it's too late."

Shen Tangan turned around, a sarcastic smile flashed across his face.

late!

It's too late!

Why don't you wait until she dies before pretending to be a loving father?

She is no longer a child longing for father's love!

Shen Qingwan, whom he was so proud of, was actually having an affair with the prince. Doesn't it feel good to be betrayed by the child you love and trust the most?

"what?"

Shen Jiyuan was stunned for a moment, not realizing what she meant.

She stopped explaining and looked at the sky.

"Father, it's getting late. You should go back."

"you……"

Shen Jiyuan looked at her back and wanted to say something comforting, but the words got stuck in his throat.

He had never noticed that his daughter had grown up so much.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and watched him leave with a gloomy look in my eyes.

Father!

too late.

Shen Tangan entered the room alone, sat in front of the window and looked up at the cold moonlight.

"Miss, it's cold at night. Please cover yourself with a blanket."

Yunzhu took a thin blanket and covered her with it. Seeing the numbness in her eyes, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

She was the young lady's personal maid, so she naturally knew how much the young lady had longed for the marquis's love.

Shen Tangan gently pulled the blanket and remained silent.

Yunzhu couldn't help but say, "Miss, please don't be sad anymore."

"It doesn't matter. Those people are not worth it. I won't be sad."

He turned around and looked at her with a smile. She didn't care about these things at all and was thinking about other things.

"Call Xueji, I have something for her to do."

Soon Xue Ji came up to her and bowed deeply.

"Miss, what do you want me to do?"

"Take this to the tavern or teahouse. The more people there are, the better."

Shen Tangan handed her the addressed envelope.

"Yes!"

Xue Ji took it with both hands, without asking any questions, and immediately left with the envelope.

The ladies have their reasons for doing things, and they don't need to ask too many questions.

Shen Tangan held his chin with a smile on his face. Kyoto will definitely be very lively tomorrow.

She dismissed the maids around her, blew out the candles, and continued to sit by the window to admire the moon.

She didn't expect the imperial decree to grant marriage to come so quickly. She hadn't explained it clearly to the Prince of Chen yet, and she didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in the moonlight, and Shen Tangan became alert instantly.

The Marquis's security was so tight that ordinary people couldn't get in, but she was definitely not mistaken, a black shadow flashed by and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Was it an assassin?

She has never offended anyone!

Suddenly, she felt a chill behind her and her whole body tensed up. The person was right behind her.

Pinching the silver needle between the fingertips, it is poisonous enough to kill instantly upon contact with blood.

She had to hit the target with one strike, and she could only do so when the man was completely off guard.

"An...An An."

Unexpectedly, a cold and slightly hesitant voice came from behind her.

Shen Tangan instantly recognized the person, turned his head and frowned as he looked at the person whose half body was hidden in the darkness.

"Your Highness, it is not the behavior of a gentleman to be good at keeping a minister's boudoir."

Prince Chen walked out slowly from the darkness, the moonlight shining on his handsome face, but it could not hide the complex emotions in his eyes.

"If I hadn't come, how would I know what you were thinking?" Prince Chen's voice was somewhat helpless.

Shen Tangan snorted coldly: "Your Highness, you are joking. I am just a woman in the Marquis' Mansion. How can your Highness bother to guess what I am thinking?"

Prince Chen took a step forward and stared at her with burning eyes: "What are your plans for the marriage?"

Shen Tangan turned his head away, not looking at the person in front of him: "Your Majesty, this matter is not something I can control."

"Then are you willing to marry this king?"

There was a hint of anxiety and nervousness in Prince Chen's tone, as if he was afraid that she would refuse.

She was slightly startled, and a ripple appeared in her heart, but she quickly regained her composure: "Your Majesty is of noble status, and I am not innocent. Your Majesty should think it through."

Mu Chenye's eyes trembled slightly, and just as he was about to explain to her, he heard a noise coming from outside.

"Miss, what happened?"

Yunzhu's voice came from outside, and Shen Tang'an felt relieved instantly. He gave Mu Chenye a look and said calmly.

"It's nothing, I'm just thirsty and want a cup of tea."

"I will serve you..."

"No need, I'll call you if I need anything."

Shen Tangan interrupted her quickly, fearing that she would come in.

She raised her head and glared at the person in front of her. How dare the prince, a gentleman praised by everyone, trespass into a boudoir!

"The servant has withdrawn."

When Yunzhu heard this, she didn't dare to ask any more questions and retreated with the lamp in her hand.

Only when there was no more noise outside did she wave away Mu Chenye's hand.

"Your Majesty, it is a dark and windy night. Your actions are really against the rules."

"This king did not mean to do that. I just have something urgent to explain to you."

Mu Chenye knew he was in the wrong, so he took a step back and kept his distance from her.

Those deep eyes never left her eyebrows from beginning to end.

"I don't care whether you are innocent or not. This imperial decree of marriage was obtained by me and my brother."

He didn't want to say these words, and was prepared to keep them to himself for the rest of his life. But if he didn't make things clear in this situation, he was afraid that the wife he had got would run away.

Shen Tangan was shocked and looked at him with disbelief in his eyes: "Why would the prince do this?"

Mu Chenye looked determined and said slowly, "From the moment I first met you, I knew you were different. Your intelligence and tenacity moved me. Those so-called troubles are not worth mentioning in my eyes."

When he said this, his eyes paused and he looked at her more seriously.

"In fact, there is something that I have been hiding in my heart and I dare not tell you."

"Ok?"

Shen Tangan was stunned when he heard this. He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, so he narrowed his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

How could a dignified Prince Chen show such an expression? Could it be that he had done something to let her down?
