Since the emperor seems so calm and distant, why not let her take the first step.

Shen Muxue deliberately pretended to sleep on the bed, and when the emperor came over to detect her breath, she still pretended to be asleep.

She spent the whole night like this last night without any harm, which shows that she is not a person who cannot be touched.

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the beauty on the couch.

In the past few days, his attention was completely focused on her safety, and he did not realize that Miss Shen was such a beauty. Even in the dim candlelight, her stunning figure could be seen, with her long silky hair scattered on the side of the pillow, gently touching the skin of her arm.

Suddenly, a tender feeling welled up in his heart, wanting to touch her, but he immediately realized that there were secret guards surrounding him, and then he whispered an order: "Everyone retreat."

The sudden sound of these words outside the door startled Shen Muxue: Are there a lot of people here?

She mustered up the courage to open her eyes, and her gaze met the sharp yet probing one of the man in front of her.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, but luckily they had met each other once before in the court, so they didn't scream and ruin the atmosphere because of the unexpected encounter.

After a slight embarrassment, Shen Muxue slowly sat up, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and faced the other person.

"Ahem..." The emperor cleared his throat and asked, "Do you know who is standing in front of you?"

His large eyes flickered a few times, revealing an innocent and pure expression as he replied, "I've met him in the main hall before and heard he might be someone of Supreme status. But since I'm not dead, that shouldn't count, right?"

This made the emperor feel a little conflicted.

If I admit it directly, it might scare her, and I don't want to see any fear in such clear eyes.

"Then who do you think I am?"

"A flower thief?"

The woman was so brave that she could say such words so calmly. The emperor's expression softened a lot and he had the idea of ​​teasing her.

"What if I were the emperor?"

Shen Muxue really couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts. She didn't understand the purpose of his repeated tests these days, nor did she know what arrangements she would face in the future.

Since she had already decided to seduce the emperor, she could only guide him towards a love affair, or in simple terms, seduction.

"Then, Your Majesty, do you understand that in this situation, a single man and a single woman in the same room could damage my reputation. How will I ever get married?"

Shen Muxue pouted slightly and tilted her head slightly to one side, acting like a wronged daughter.

The emperor's expression changed. He didn't expect that the girl not only showed no fear, but didn't even consider avoiding him. Instead, she showed a hint of dissatisfaction?

Could it be that the toxin affected her judgment?

"It's my fault."

After the emperor uttered a few words dryly, he didn't know how to continue for a moment. After all, he was not good at interacting with women.

"If there is nothing else, Your Majesty, please leave quickly."

Shen Muxue also felt confused, but she pretended to push him away first. If he really left, she would then speak to him to keep him.

After standing for a while, the emperor still couldn't find a topic to start.

He couldn't tell his true intention that he just wanted to confirm whether Shen Muxue was alive or dead.

This awkward situation couldn't continue, so Shen Muxue finally broke the silence: "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly come to visit me? Are you worried about my health?"

Hearing this, even if the emperor wanted to deny it, it would be very difficult. He could only nod and ask, "How are you feeling now?"

Shen Muxue shook her head and pretended to be innocent and asked, "Your Majesty, there are rumors that any woman who touches you will lose her life. This can't be true, right?"

Then he pulled a chair over and asked the emperor to sit down.

After changing several postures, the emperor slowly explained: "Actually, this is true. I was poisoned before. After the imperial physician cured me of the poison, I could no longer have contact with any woman. I also exuded an aura that could make women faint."

It turns out that this is indeed the case!

Shen Muxue exaggeratedly widened her eyes to show her surprise, and said hopefully, "If I'm safe and sound now, does that mean that Your Majesty has recovered from your illness? Will you be able to choose a concubine and have children in the future?"

The emperor gave a helpless smile and shook his head in denial, "Unfortunately, I have taken a drug that cuts off my bloodline. Even if I could have contact with a woman, I would not be able to have my own offspring. Therefore, I do not intend to hold a concubine selection ceremony, let alone consider taking in a new concubine."

Has this emperor cultivated himself to the point where his mind is as calm as water and he no longer cares about the mundane world?

How can this be done?

"Since I seem unaffected by His Majesty's special scent, could I try to smell it and see if I'll faint?"

The emperor never wanted to deliberately hurt anyone, so when he saw Shen Muxue take the initiative to make a request, he naturally would not refuse.

He nodded allowing her to come closer.

Shen Muxue lifted the quilt on the bed, and a pair of small feet as white and smooth as jade slowly landed on the ground. She walked towards the other person step by step, as if every step could directly touch the depths of his soul.

Then, she gently placed her hand on the emperor's shoulder, leaned down and slowly moved her hand downwards from his forehead.

The distance between the two was so close that their noses were touching when they looked at each other face to face.

At this moment, Shen Muxue clearly heard the sound coming from the other person's throat that clearly expressed nervousness.

Obviously, he has not yet completely controlled the changes in his inner emotions.

When her movements reached the final stage.

First, he moved closer to one side of the neck and then to the other side. He even playfully rubbed the rising and falling Adam's apple with the tip of his nose before quickly moving away.

It was not until this time that the emperor, as if waking up from a dream, discovered that Shen Muxue had returned to his original seat and sat down again.

"I didn't notice any particular smell, nothing out of the ordinary except for some sweat."

The emperor seemed to have not yet fully reacted, and replied casually, "Perhaps it is because the originally lethal poison in the body has been eliminated."

In order to prove that what she said was true, Shen Muxue continued to give examples.

"I have an exceptionally keen sense of smell. For example, this string of beads I wear on my wrist has a very slight scent of jasmine, yet I can easily detect it. If your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can try it yourself."

The little feet slowly approached again and stopped in front of him.

A slender arm lay in front of him, the elbow just below the tip of his nose, and a faint fragrance surrounded him in the air.

The emperor felt like he was about to suffocate. Could it be that the poison had begun to turn against him?

"I'm leaving first, you should get some rest early."

Shen Muxue was stunned. What was going on?

Temptation failed so badly?

Will he come again tomorrow?

It seems that I should just knock him down next time. If this goes on, how long will it take to have a child?
