Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" The moment Zhang Tianai's nose lightly touched the dragon robe, the Buddhist incense and another indescribable breath intertwined, like a gentle spring breeze suddenly appearing in the abyss of abstinence.

She tried to break free, her voice filled with unspoken panic.

"Don't move." Murong Shuo's voice was low and firm, like the darkest ink in the night, wrapping her tightly.

Instead of letting go, he held her tighter in his arms, letting their heartbeats intertwine into a melody.

There is no need to say much, nor to wait any longer. A subtle electric current flows quietly between the two people. It is a resonance deep in the soul, and the heartbeat and throbbing are intertwined into the most brilliant fireworks.

The strong feeling of disappearing and reappearing made Murong Shuo's throat tighten, and thousands of words converged into silent confirmation.

He lowered his head, staring at her face as beautiful as a lotus, and at this moment he got the most direct answer.

He raised his head again, his eyes filled with endless tenderness and exploration for her.

Zhang Tianai seemed to have sensed the unusual atmosphere. She pushed and shoved frantically, her cheeks flushed, and her hands unconsciously covered her chest, where her heart was beating violently. "Your Majesty, please..."

Murong Shuo did not let go immediately, but cherished this rare closeness even more, feeling every inch of the tenderness of the person in his arms.

His hand unconsciously stroked her face. The touch was as delicate as silk, making people intoxicated and unwilling to wake up.

Zhang Tianai tried to break free, her voice trembling and anxious: "Your Majesty, please..."

Murong Shuo's other hand had quietly slid to her waist. Her slender waist was like a willow branch newly grown in spring, which made people feel pity and love.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Tianai's voice finally rose a few degrees, her eyes filled with confusion and anxiety. She took a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. "Your Majesty, do you know what you are doing?"

Although her voice was calm, the trembling of her body betrayed her inner nervousness and fear.

Murong Shuo did not answer, but stared at her more intently, his hands slowly tightening around her waist.

At this moment, the boundary between them became blurred, leaving only two hearts approaching in silence.

At that moment, Zhang Tianai seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and snuggled tightly against Murong Shuo's chest. It was a silent temptation and also a touch of the soul.

"Your Majesty..." Her voice was as light as a feather.

She turned her neck slightly to avoid the passionate kiss that was about to fall, "Your Majesty, you..." She didn't finish her words, she was already hesitant to speak.

Murong Shuo suddenly woke up and realized that he was stepping into a forbidden place.

So, he resolutely let her go, letting her fall lightly onto the soft bed, and turned around with a decisive and firm movement.

He knew very well that no matter how turbulent his emotions were, the dam of reason must not be breached.

She was his former daughter-in-law, and this identity was like a heavy shackle that prevented him from crossing the moral gap.

His choice to leave was not only a redemption for himself, but also the best interpretation of this impossible relationship.

Zhang Tianai looked at the figure walking away. She understood that this was not just a simple test, but also a battle of emotion and reason between the two.

She felt his hesitation and struggle, and also saw the ripples she stirred in his heart.

She knew that he had fallen in love with her, but that feeling was not enough to make him give up everything.

"Your Majesty..." she called softly.

She knew that this separation might lead to a few days of silence, but her heart was full of confidence.

She turned and looked at Chunmei beside her. Chunmei's astonishment and dullness were her most direct reactions to this scene.

Zhang Tianai smiled softly: "The emperor has left."

Chunmei's heart must have been rippled at this moment, because that supreme figure had inadvertently crossed the forbidden boundary.

"Chunmei, don't panic." Zhang Tianai opened her red lips slightly, interrupting Chunmei's unfinished surprise and doubt.

"This is not what I wanted, nor what I asked for. It is all fate."

Chunmei's hands trembled slightly, and her eyes wandered between the scattered items and Zhang Tianai, as if she was still trying to digest this sudden change.

"Girl, we..." She hesitated to speak.

"Chunmei, come back to your senses." Zhang Tianai clapped his hands gently. The crisp sound was like a morning bell or an evening drum, awakening Chunmei's rationality. "We need to sort ourselves out as soon as possible. We shouldn't stay here for long."

However, another seed has been quietly planted in Zhang Tianai's heart - what she wants is not just this moment of tenderness, but an unprecedented love affair with the emperor.

The two of them hurriedly packed up and prepared to return to the relatively safe courtyard.

At this time, Murong Shuo had already walked out of the forbidden door, standing in the spring breeze, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, trying to calm the inexplicable restlessness in his body.

He, the king of a country, could actually be trapped by love and be obsessed with one person.

"Your Majesty, you..." Eunuch An's voice broke the silence. He knew his master's thoughts very well, but he could only accompany him silently and dared not say much.

Murong Shuo opened his eyes and said, "Eunuch An, I am troubled and need to think about this matter carefully."

There was a hint of helplessness and struggle in his words.

Deep in the temple, he opened his lips softly, and the casual words "I came here to find a woman" seemed to disturb the tranquility around him.

After saying this, his eyes became blurry, as if he was examining himself. Then he suddenly came back to his senses and glanced at the person beside him. The abrupt request subtly rippled in the air.

"Your Majesty, you...just said that you really want to find a woman to accompany you in this quiet place?"

There was a hint of disbelief in Eunuch An's voice, as if even he himself was doubting this sudden order.

Upon hearing this, Murong Shuo's eyes gradually focused. He looked around at the ancient and solemn palace, his heart trembled, and he thought to himself.

This is a holy place for prayer. How can I let my selfish desires distract me? He sighed softly, and after a moment's inner struggle, he finally made up his mind: "Forget it, this matter should not be brought up now. We can discuss it on our way home."

When Eunuch An heard this, although he was confused, he tactfully did not ask any more questions.

"As you command, Your Majesty. Then... regarding the matter of the former Crown Princess, should we send her back in two days as originally planned?" Eunuch An changed the subject in time to ease the awkwardness.

Murong Shuo nodded in agreement.
