Dethroned the Crown Princess? Then she became your mother

Temptation, like an invisible silk thread, is quietly woven and becomes increasingly tighter.

This time, the temptation was intensified, making him unable to stop. The delicious food was in front of him, but he couldn't taste it.

"No?" Murong Shuo looked at her with a hint of amusement in his voice, and then slowly said, "I really can't. Look at you."

Instead of getting angry, he stretched out his slender fingers and gently stroked her cheek, with a hint of imperceptible teasing in his gentleness.

"Your Majesty, I..." Zhang Tianai turned around, her voice as thin as a thread, her body trembling slightly, and she bit her lower lip tightly, looking helpless and determined.

"You need to take good care of your body." Murong Shuo's eyes fell on her trembling figure. His hand involuntarily wanted to touch her lips, but he stopped himself. "When you recover, we can discuss it again."

When they parted that day, he had already made up his mind to keep his distance for the time being, but he was unexpectedly drawn into her unconscious charm and almost lost control.

Fortunately, I had to leave in a hurry for something, so no big mistake was made.

Now, after a day and a night, he should be more restrained and avoid being impulsive.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Tianai called again, her cheek rubbing against his palm inadvertently.

Murong Shuo was about to speak, but was interrupted by her sudden action.

She gently took his hand, lowered her eyes, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Your Majesty, we are no longer the past. No matter how much I struggle with that feeling in my heart, I should let it go."

"Tonight, I've thought about it over and over again. Everything that happened in the past was my fault. I shouldn't have had such delusions, and I shouldn't have dragged you into this vortex. Please, forget me."

As she spoke, she tried to pull her hand back, wanting to escape from this emotional entanglement, but her body was shaking with the inner struggle.

Her words revealed determination, but the reluctance in her eyes was hard to conceal.

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Murong Shuo suddenly held her hand tightly, not giving her any chance to escape. His eyes were as sharp as torches, looking directly into her true thoughts deep in her heart.

"Now you know how to avoid suspicion, but what about before?" There was a subtle hint of jealousy and questioning in his tone.

Zhang Tianai did not answer, but just looked at him silently, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

At this moment, all words seem pale and powerless, only the eyes of each other tell thousands of words.

Zhang Tianai argued again, "Your Majesty, don't you think we are not at fault? It was just a mistake, all due to me. From now on, I will keep my distance from you."

She deliberately showed an attitude of wanting to refuse but also to accept, with a bit of sadness and depression in her voice, trying to squeeze out a few tears.

"Mistake? You think it's just a mistake? What you committed is a heinous crime!" Murong Shuo became even angrier when he heard this. With every word he heard, the fire in his heart grew stronger.

He suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled it gently, trying to make her look at him.

However, Zhang Tianai still lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, as if she had returned to her previous stubborn look.

"Your Majesty, in this case, perhaps we should stop here. You yourself said that this is an unforgivable mistake." She finally looked up, bit her lip, walked forward, and held Murong Shuo's hands tightly with both hands, her eyes full of pleading.

Murong Shuo looked at her, and a destructive urge surged in his heart, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.

The more pitiful she looked, the more she wanted to escape, and the stronger her desire became.

Just as this thought came to his mind, he couldn't help but want to get closer to her again.

He slowly lowered his head, preparing to approach, but was interrupted by Zhang Tianai's exclamation: "Your Majesty!"

She looked at his approaching face in horror, turned her head away hurriedly, and struggled to push him away: "Don't do this, don't kiss me, please."

"Kiss? Which eye of yours saw that I was going to kiss you?" There was a hint of impatience in Murong Shuo's tone.

"Stop talking about this nonsense. What happened has already happened, and we must bear the consequences. Our relationship is no longer what it was before. You and I both know this, so there's no need to say more. What's the point of regretting it later?"

However, Murong Shuo's words failed to stop his actions. Instead, he moved closer and closer, and finally hugged Zhang Tianai tightly in his arms.

Zhang Tianai was caught off guard and fell headfirst into his arms, their foreheads colliding again. The pain was so severe that she couldn't help but look up at Murong Shuo, tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Murong Shuo's heart softened and he had the urge to kiss her again.

Their bodies pressed tightly together, her breasts, slender waist, and long legs were all tightly wrapped around him. He greedily inhaled her fragrance, his hand unconsciously sliding down to her waist.

Zhang Tianai felt his touch and her body trembled slightly: "Your Majesty..." she called softly, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

"Yeah." Murong Shuo simply responded without any further words.

"But, Your Majesty, this will make outsiders laugh at us." Zhang Tianai said breathlessly, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice, and she quickly covered her mouth.

"Why didn't you worry about these before?" Murong Shuo chuckled, "Don't cover it, I like the sound of your breathing, and--" He grabbed her hand again as she tried to cover it.

"I've thought about it over and over again..." Zhang Tianai tried to change the subject and turned her head to the side.

Murong Shuo didn't allow her to escape, and gently kissed her cheek, interrupting her. He put his arm around her waist, tightening his grip slightly, and whispered with undeniable determination, "Don't think about it anymore. It's too late to regret now."

"Your Majesty, please don't, you really can't." Zhang Tianai was still gasping for breath, and she felt extremely panicked as she saw the emperor's lips about to touch hers.

She struggled hard, leaning back, her waist straight, her toes raised, her hands pressed tightly against the emperor's solid chest, trying to push away this sudden intimacy, her fingers even unconsciously sliding towards his tight waist, but it was in vain.

The two people's breathing intertwined, rapid and chaotic.

Zhang Tianai widened her eyes and stared at the almost negligible distance between the two of them. Murong Shuo did the same, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, he moved, intending to pick her up horizontally.

Zhang Tianai used up her last bit of strength and cried in her voice: "Your Majesty..."

Tears finally welled up in her eyes and she kept shaking her head. Her helplessness and grievance made people feel pity for her.

Murong Shuo's movements froze instantly, all his desires and impulses vanished in her tears. He was stunned and his body became stiff.

"What are you doing? What does this mean?" His words were filled with confusion and frustration.

"Why, you really don't want me to get close to you? In that case, then forget it." As he said that, he slowly let go of her hand.

Zhang Tianai lowered her head, her voice choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, we...can't." Her tone was full of pleading and helplessness.

Murong Shuo's tears broke down all his defenses. For a moment, he was speechless and could only stare at her blankly: "If it doesn't work, then forget it. Why are you crying? It's as if I'm forcing you. How could I, Murong Shuo, be that kind of person?"

The words Zhang Tianai wanted to say got stuck in his throat and eventually turned into a soft sigh.

She looked up at Murong Shuo. Maybe he was not like this on weekdays, but he always had different feelings when facing her.

"Look at you like this..." Murong Shuo finally couldn't help it and reached out to wipe away her tears.

Zhang Tianai trembled slightly and tried to avoid him, but he held her tightly.

"Do you think I'm going to do that again? Don't move." He gently scolded her, his slender fingers gently brushing away her tears, then took out the handkerchief he carried with him and wiped it carefully for her.

At this moment, Zhang Tianai felt the tenderness and care from the emperor, and complex emotions surged in her heart.

After wiping her tears, Murong Shuo handed her the handkerchief and let go of her hands.

Zhang Tianai took the handkerchief and silently wiped away the remaining tears.

Murong Shuo waited until she calmed down, then said softly, "Don't worry, you must take good care of yourself and stay healthy in the future." His tone was full of concern and promise.

"Get well first, then we can reminisce about the past. I will take care of the blessing matter when I return, and all you have to do is be obedient." As he said this, he was about to take her hand and go out.

She nodded slightly and signaled her servants to get ready.

Zhang Tianai responded and watched the emperor and eunuch An leave. Before leaving, the emperor promised to visit her later and left a maid to guard her.

Zhang Tianai turned to Chunmei, who was observing her eyes carefully.

"Girl, your eyes are red. Have you been crying?" Chunmei asked softly.

Zhang Tianai smiled slightly: "Tears are a way to escape."

Chunmei understood what was going on after hearing this and stopped asking questions.

Zhang Tianai turned around, called the person waiting outside the door, then walked into the room and prepared to rest.

On the other side, Murong Shuo brought Eunuch An back to the resting place. After changing clothes, he asked about the situation in the temple seemingly casually, but in fact he already had an idea in his mind.

Eunuch An knew it well, but he still repeated it respectfully.

Before he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door. It was the secret guards arriving.

Before Eunuch An could think about it, Murong Shuo told him that when he left, not only did he leave Eunuch An behind, but this secret guard was also left in the temple. Eunuch An was startled and thought to himself that his guess was correct.

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch An could not wait to inform His Majesty of Miss Gu's determination to die for him, fearing that he would be a little slow.

Upon hearing this, Murong Shuo turned his gaze to the secret guard, and the two nodded in tacit understanding, confirming the matter.

"She is actually willing to give up her life?" Murong Shuo muttered to himself, not giving others a chance to interrupt, and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he looked up and praised Eunuch An: "You did a good job."

Eunuch An was flattered and quickly declined humbly.

As night fell, Zhang Tianai was thinking about the emperor's next move after being rejected, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Just as she was lost in thought, there was a noise outside the door and someone came to visit.
