Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

After that, the movements stopped, he looked at her and asked her if it was her first time?

There were ripples in her heart. The sudden question made her laugh, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

She opened her red lips slightly and responded with a gentle "hmm", the lingering sound was inspiring.

The emperor then changed the subject and asked her why she didn't have a prince.

She told him frankly that the prince had someone in his heart and she knew it was difficult for her to reach that person.

After he finished speaking, the emperor held her hand tightly, with a strength that was full of affection, and then sealed it with a kiss, passionate and deep.

Although her fate with the prince was shallow, she made the emperor happy. The exclusive joy he felt might have put his mind at ease. From then on, she belonged to him alone.

The news from Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion was quickly conveyed along with the emperor's decree.

She couldn't help but wonder, how would the people in the Marquis' Mansion plan their response upon hearing this order? How would the current situation evolve?

Is Grandma happy at this moment? She hopes that Grandma will be free from worries and enjoy a happy family life.

Grandmother's face is round and kind; her love is like sunshine, shining in her heart.

Her thoughts drifted away, and she thought of her stepmother in Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, a woman who looked like her second sister, and the maternal radiance in her was even more dazzling.

However, beneath this beauty lies ambition and means similar to those of her second sister. They always seem to be fighting for each other at all costs.

She couldn't help but wonder whether her mother had suffered the same misfortune, which led to her tragic early death.

These thoughts came like a tide, and she decided to take action, looking for an opportunity to enter the palace and uncover those dusty secrets.

Even though she and the emperor had had physical intimacy and enjoyed each other's tenderness, she knew deep down that this was not her final destination.

She didn't want to be a person who couldn't be seen in public, and she didn't want to be imprisoned in this small space.

The discomfort in her body reminded her of the madness of last night. She turned over gently, but the pain was still there.

Looking around, the candles were out and there was silence.

She raised her arm, and her skin looked even whiter in the morning light, like cream, and she couldn't help but stroke it.

At this moment, she accidentally knocked over the candlestick. The crisp sound broke the silence, and the candlestick rolled down, leaving behind broken pieces on the ground.

She smiled slightly. This sudden sound seemed to indicate that a new chapter in her life was about to begin.

She secretly wondered in her heart, should she continue to strive for a few more days of companionship with the emperor, or should she simply seek death again to find relief?

In the blink of an eye...

The door opened slightly, and Chunmei walked in quietly accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

Zhang Tianai glanced sideways slightly, and when he saw her approaching, he unconsciously moved his body, as if trying to find a more comfortable position.

"Miss, you're finally awake! I was wondering what the noise was, but it turned out to be a candlestick that accidentally fell. Are you okay?"

Chunmei hurried to the bedside, her eyes jumping back and forth between Zhang Tianai and the candlestick on the ground, her concern was beyond words.

Zhang Tianai calmly pulled the blankets tight, covering up any traces of her presence, and replied calmly, "Well, just as you said, I'll clean it up later. But why did you come now without waking me? What time is it now?"

"Miss, it's already past noon, it's a bit late. But the Emperor specifically instructed me not to disturb you while you're resting, saying he wants you to recuperate. I happened to be resting at that time."

Chunmei didn't think much about it and told the truth.

"I see." Zhang Tianai understood, but deliberately asked, "Did you hear any unusual noises last night?"

She mentioned it deliberately, but in fact she already had the answer in her heart. After all, she had specially arranged Chunmei to stay in the outer room so that the emperor could come in and out conveniently.

"Unusual sound? I didn't notice it." Chunmei looked confused, obviously knowing nothing about it.

Zhang Tianai smiled secretly in his heart. The emperor's handwriting was indeed extraordinary.

Did he also have the thought of spending the night with her last night? Even if she didn't open her eyes to greet him, he could still quietly approach her while she was asleep?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel more pity for Chunmei. After all, she was innocently involved in this storm.

"Be careful and don't get hurt." She warned softly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Chunmei was even more confused: "What do you mean, young lady? What should I be careful about? Or, what did you hear?" She couldn't help but ask again.

Zhang Tianai hesitated for a moment and almost wanted to lift the quilt to let Chunmei see the marks on her body, but she finally held back.

Those traces were left by the emperor, and they were also a secret that she was unwilling to show to others easily.

"Nothing, just a reminder for you to take care of yourself." She brushed it off lightly, but her heart was already in turmoil.

Although Chunmei was puzzled, she did not ask any further questions. She just subconsciously touched the back of her neck and muttered to herself: "It's strange, why does it hurt here?"

Zhang Tianai became even more certain that everything that happened last night was not accidental.

And the instigator of all this was none other than the almighty emperor.

She whispered softly and instructed Chunmei, "You may have to go on a hunger strike for a few more days."

Chunmei wanted to say something when she heard it, but hesitated.

But Zhang Tianai gently interrupted, "This matter has been decided. No need to say more. When someone asks, you will do as you did last time. You know nothing, your persuasion is powerless, and you will be unable to handle it alone. If there is no movement over there, you will take the initiative and go find them."

Zhang Tianai tried to confirm whether Chunmei understood, but all she got was that same determined look.

"Chunmei, be patient for another day. The night is dark and things may change easily." Zhang Tianai pondered for a moment, and had a plan in mind, so he set a time.

Chunmei didn't understand what he meant and asked in confusion, "Miss, what does this plan mean?" Zhang Tianai chuckled and responded humorously with the words "No move is better than a move", and mentioned what would happen to Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion.

When talking about Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Chunmei's attention was instantly attracted, and she asserted that the mansion would definitely send someone to find out the truth.

Zhang Tianai nodded in agreement, and the two of them had a perfect understanding.

At the same time, people in Murong Shuo's palace were also discussing the return of the envoy from Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Eunuch An reported, "Your Majesty, the Weiyuan Marquisate is quite puzzled by your actions. They simply think that you have returned from praying for blessings and are curious."

He knew clearly in his heart that these inquiries were futile and that His Majesty would not easily reveal his true feelings.

Murong Shuo waved his hand gently, indicating that there was no need to talk further. It was obvious that his mind was not here.

Eunuch An secretly speculated that His Majesty did not return home all night last night and only returned at dawn, and there seemed to be an inexplicable entanglement between him and the former Crown Princess.

Although he was unwilling to believe the worst guess in his heart, he had to face the reality: "The former Crown Princess..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Murong Shuo.

"She is no longer the former Crown Princess." Murong Shuo's words were filled with determination.

Eunuch An vaguely felt that a storm was coming, but he knew even better that even if His Majesty really had something going on with the former Crown Princess, he would never bring her back to the palace easily.

After all, His Majesty is about to return to the palace, and this relationship may only become an unspeakable secret, scattered by the wind.

As for the final destination of the former Crown Princess, will she stay here or find another place to recuperate?

However, deep down in his heart, he secretly thought that perhaps letting her pass away quietly would be the most appropriate arrangement.

Just send a few reliable people to quietly carry out this final mission.

A hint of resolute coldness quietly emerged in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

"Remember, she is already my woman!" Murong Shuo suddenly turned around and announced in a deep voice to Eunuch An beside him.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch An was so shocked that his body seemed to be frozen. Although he had a premonition in his heart, he was still shocked when he heard it with his own ears. He opened his mouth slightly, but could not utter a word for a long time.

"This is simply an act against human ethics! Your Majesty, you are..."

"Eunuch An, what are you doing? Now that she belongs to me, everything is no longer the same." Seeing this, Murong Shuo frowned slightly, trying to awaken Eunuch An's reason.

"But Your Majesty, how can you ignore her past identity? Bringing her back to the palace is really inappropriate!" Eunuch An forced himself to stand up and tried to dissuade him anxiously, his voice full of worry.

Murong Shuo pondered for a moment, and finally compromised, deciding to find another secluded place to accommodate her.

Seeing this, Eunuch An felt a little relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, his gaze penetrated the palace wall and looked towards the capital city. He secretly thought that it was time to invite a certain "empress" in the capital city to come.

He secretly swore that he must kill the former Crown Princess as soon as possible and let this unknown secret be buried forever!
