The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight poured down, shining through the thin curtains and illuminating the entire bedroom.

The carved sandalwood bed looks even more simple and elegant in the soft light.

The bed curtains fell softly on both sides, and two people sleeping in each other's arms could be vaguely seen inside.

There was a different smell in the air, as if there was still a lingering smell of someone's release from last night.

In a corner of the bedroom, there is an exquisite incense burner, with faint green smoke rising up, exuding a faint fragrance.

After a night of rest, the pots of green plants by the window have crystal dewdrops hanging on their leaves.

A breeze blew by, and the green leaves swayed gently, making a slight rustling sound.

The luxurious carpet on the floor is soft and thick, and its fine texture looks more exquisite under the reflection of light and shadow.

A small bird perched on the windowsill, tilting its head to look inside curiously, and its clear chirping broke the tranquility in the hall.

Xu Keke, who was sleeping on the inner couch, opened her eyes.

She was surprised to find that she was nestled in a man's arms, and the bed curtains in front of her were of an unfamiliar color.

Damn, have I traveled through time again?

Xu Keke pushed away the man's claws that were resting on her chest in horror.

A slightly hoarse voice sounded in my ears.

"woke up?"

Xu Keke turned around and met Chu Musheng's lazy and dazed eyes.

"It's you...why am I here?"

Xu Keke's voice trembled.

Chu Musheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a playful smile.

"Why, you just spent the night with me last night, and now you're denying it after waking up?"

Xu Keke's face turned red instantly, obviously she didn't remember what happened last night.

"What do you mean by spending the night together? You're talking nonsense!"

She retorted loudly, her eyes confused and frightened.

Chu Musheng sat up, the quilt slipped off, revealing his muscular chest, and smiled slightly.

"I'm not talking nonsense. The moment you got on my bed last night, you became my woman."

He said it softly, in a tone that left no room for doubt.

After hearing this, Xu Keke's panic and uneasiness gradually turned into shame and anger.

She forced herself to stand up and wanted to escape from here as quickly as possible.

However, Chu Musheng stretched out his arms, holding her in his arms, and declared domineeringly and coldly.

"You must remember that from now on you are my woman. Your body and soul belong to me."

Chu Musheng's words were full of warnings, and he added some strength to his hands.

Xu Keke couldn't help but cry out softly in pain.

He slowed down his movements and coaxed her softly.

"Alright, don't panic. Now that this has happened, I will take responsibility for you."

Xu Keke's heart trembled.

This neurotic prince is sometimes cold and ruthless and sometimes gentle as water, making him unpredictable.

But - no matter how you look at it, it's not easy to get along with.

Moreover, when I was doing psychological counseling in my previous life, I came across many cases of mistresses interfering in the relationship.

Even if she traveled back to this feudal society, she could not accept the role of a mistress.

Having to face the current situation, Xu Keke forced herself to remain calm.

"Who wants you to be responsible? First tell me what is going on?"

Chu Musheng frowned slightly and his expression became serious.

"You were sent to my bed by Chief Steward Yao. I can't explain the reason at the moment."

It seems that I have to rely on myself. Xu Keke recalled everything. She remembered that Manager Yao came to pick her up to meet the prince, but she refused, so Manager Yao attacked her.

You are so good, Manager Yao. I will remember you.

Xu Keke lifted the quilt again and looked at her body, and her brain instantly went blank.

"Did you leave these marks last night?"

Chu Musheng's face also turned red. He was indeed reckless last night. If not... If not...

Chu Musheng gently stroked the red marks.

"We have already had physical contact. You can rest assured and stay by my side. I will not let you suffer any injustice."

Xu Keke wanted to break free from his hand, but found that she had no strength at all. Some parts of her body hurt when touched, so she could only say helplessly.

"Your Highness, you...you are so abominable. I...I am still having my period!"

Chu Musheng's ears turned red.

"I saw it, don't worry, I didn't..."

Xu Keke glanced at him doubtfully, and suddenly remembered that there was a toad's blood on the original owner's right arm.

That was when she saw a red mole on her arm in prison. Dingdang told her that it was the toad's blood, which could prove a woman's innocence.

The original owner's mother was not short of money. Although only women who were qualified to enter the palace at that time would have the palace seal applied to them from a young age, the original owner's mother also spent money to have her daughter applied.

Thinking of this, Xu Keke raised her right arm and found that the toad's blood was still there.

Chu Musheng also grabbed her arm and looked at her carefully, then said with a smile.

"See? I really don't have that. However, sooner or later, I will erase your virgin blood."

"you…"

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by the voice of Manager Yao.

"Your Highness, Miss Xu's maid is here."

"You are such a loyal servant that you came here in such a hurry."

Chu Musheng stood up, put on his clothes, stretched his muscles and walked out, saying something.

"Have her maid come in and serve."

Dingdang walked into the bedroom and saw her mistress lying in a miserable state on the bed. Her eyes were red, she trembled with every step, and spoke hesitantly.

"Miss, it's Dingdang who's useless. He didn't take good care of you. You were still having sex! You were defiled by the prince."

Xu Keke was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"Dingdang, I'm warning you, don't say anything nonsense, your young lady is still innocent!"

Even after this, can you still maintain your innocence?

Dingdang was confused. Where was the bottom line of the lady's innocence?

By the way, how could I forget that the young lady is not very smart? I should coax her first.

"Miss, are you serious? That would be wonderful. I'm scared to death of Jingle Bell."

At this time, Chu Musheng, who was eavesdropping outside, walked in leisurely.

"What nonsense are you two talking about? How could I be such a shameless person?"

Xu Keke turned her back and rolled her eyes secretly.

"Your Majesty is not a gentleman. I have evidence to prove that you are not a good person."

Chu Musheng became interested, walked up to Xu Keke, patted her shoulder, and asked softly.

"What evidence? Show it to me quickly."

Xu Keke was choked by his question and covered her body tightly with the quilt.

"Your Highness, please go out. I'm going to get up."

Seeing that there was a maid there, Chu Musheng finally didn't have the nerve to stay and went out to wash up.

A servant had prepared a petal bath in a wooden barrel in the outer room. There was faint steam coming out of the barrel and a light floral fragrance was emitted.

Xu Keke took an awkward bath with Dingdang's help.

The marks on his body made Dingdang, who had never seen much of the world, blush.

However, Dingdang was secretly glad that the toad blood on the young lady's arm was still there.

The master and servant had just finished tidying up in a hurry.

Chu Musheng came over dressed in new clothes. Today he looked radiant and handsome, and the prince's clothes made him look even more noble.

He glanced at Xu Keke and said gently.

"Follow me to dinner."

Xu Keke was in low spirits and followed Chu Musheng to the dining hall with her head drooped.

The dining table was filled with delicious food, but Xu Keke had no appetite.

Seeing that she didn't move her chopsticks, Chu Musheng asked with concern.

"Is it possible that these are not to your taste?"

Xu Keke shook her head and touched the back of her neck.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's just that my neck hurts, and I really don't have much appetite."
