"Well, if you can kowtow to me and apologize, we can let this matter go for now."

"Why, Shen Muxue, can you accept me kowtowing to you?"

His cold eyes swept across the faces of the two women in front of him, revealing his determination to not give up until he achieved his goal.

"Either cancel the engagement, or you kneel down and admit your mistake. Choose one of the two."

The mother and daughter were puzzled.

Recently, Shen Muxue seems to have become a different person and is becoming increasingly difficult to control.

But the wedding is imminent, and the Song family will soon arrive in the capital.

This considerable amount of funds must be put in place as soon as possible, so Shen Muxue cannot be offended under any circumstances.

In the end, the wife of Marquis Jingcheng forced the unwilling Wei Lanqian to kneel down and apologize, which shocked Lingwei and Yunxiang. Even the usually domineering and arrogant Miss Wei was forced to bow her head and submit.

Faced with such a bold Shen Muxue who didn't care about her future life at all, everyone was at a loss.

Shen Muxue remained calm about this. After all, the most important thing was that she was in a good mood.

Now that she knows the trump card she holds and has seen through the traps others have set for her, every second is filled with infinite freedom and heroism for her.

Apart from the fact that there was no progress in seducing the emperor, other aspects were also stagnant.

The emperor came again tonight, still sitting in the same seat as last night, staring at Shen Muxue calmly.

Shen Muxue felt a little depressed. She didn't know what this person was thinking, so she decided to just come clean and say: I can help you have children.

After pretending to be asleep for a while, Shen Muxue couldn't help but sit up.

At first, she was slightly surprised, then she asked curiously, "Your Majesty, are you here to see me tonight as well?"

The emperor nodded slightly but said nothing.

Shen Muxue mustered up her courage. Even if she was facing a pure-hearted and simple-minded person, she would conquer him.

"Your Majesty's arrival makes this servant very honored, but do you have any other plans for coming here today?"

The moonlight outside was clear and bright, making the emperor's face a little blurry.

Shen Muxue slowly got out of bed, walked up to the emperor, then gently knelt on the ground, looking up at him.

At this moment, the emperor's expression was cold and majestic, with a sharp look between his brows, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

However, under Shen Muxue's tender gaze, the pressure gradually dissipated.

"Your Majesty, it appears that you are in good health. Do you need further confirmation from me?"

"How do I confirm this?"

The emperor asked.

He soon understood what Shen Muxue meant and was surprised by her audacious behavior.

It wasn't until Shen Muxue was almost out of breath and completely limp in his arms that the emperor woke up and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"

Fortunately, the person in his arms still had body temperature, which slightly alleviated his worry that she would suddenly die.

"My daughter is fine."

She could feel the tension and subtle changes she brought to the emperor.

I couldn't help but feel proud. Things have come to this point, how could the emperor still bear it?

Who knew that after waiting for a long time, the emperor still just held her without moving at all, until the ambiguity in the air gradually dissipated.

"emperor……"

"Ah."

"It seems unethical to hug a subject like this."

The emperor's movements paused, and then Shen Muxue quickly pulled herself out of his arms and returned to the bed.

"System, are the beauty and body shaping pills you provided expired? Otherwise, why is the emperor so cold?"

[Master, rest assured. This isn't a problem with the medication's effectiveness; it's primarily due to the Emperor's complex mental state.]

Being proactive all the time may not be effective, and forcing yourself to get close to him won't be effective either, so try pushing him away.

"Your Majesty, I am about to be married. Please do not meet alone with me in the future. Otherwise, I may lose my reputation and be punished by my husband's family."

Hearing this, the emperor trembled slightly and his whole body tensed up.

Although she couldn't see clearly, Shen Muxue could sense that the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold and quiet.

He remained silent and sat quietly, exuding an imperial aura that could not be ignored.

Shen Muxue stood up again, slowly approached and held the emperor's hand and said, "Your Majesty, is there anything you want to tell me?"

After a long moment, a low and slightly hoarse voice sounded: "It's not that I don't want to marry you, but I'm considered an unlucky person, and I don't want you to be implicated."

After hearing this, Shen Muxue almost laughed out loud.

A typical example of retreating in order to advance, waiting for her to express her feelings, saying that he would go through fire and water for her.

Sorry, she doesn't want to be someone else's puppet in this life, so she will adopt the same strategy and take the initiative.

Then she turned back to the couch and said calmly, "I understand the emperor's intentions. Please go back and don't come again. If you come again, I will move to my grandmother's room."

In the end, the emperor left here silently and returned to Xuanyang Palace.

Even though the moon outside the palace is almost the same as the one in the Shen Mansion, it always feels like it lacks that unique charm.

What is going on with this Miss Shen?

All the women in the world were afraid of him when they saw him, but she was the only one who was not afraid at all and instead showed a strong curiosity, as if she didn't care about life or death at all.

When he told her what was in his heart, he thought she would be brave enough to say, "Death is nothing to fear."

However, she simply replied "I understand" and then turned over and fell asleep.

Does this mean that she still intends to marry the Prince of Jingcheng?

So she rejected his suggestion without hesitation?

The emperor tossed and turned on the dragon bed, his heart in turmoil.

Originally, he just wanted to know whether the young lady of the Shen family was alive or dead, or when she would die, but unexpectedly, he began to not want to see her become someone else's wife and wanted to keep her by his side.

You shouldn't have such thoughts.

There is a deadly poison in his body, which may harm others one day in the future.

Even if the poison is not a problem, it will be impossible for her to give birth to offspring. If she is welcomed into the palace, she will only be lonely for the rest of her life.

What's more, I am an unlucky person.

He had killed countless lives on the battlefield, and even nearly destroyed the empress dowager's family. Such a heavy bloody sin had long since turned into a demon in his heart.

It would be too cruel to involve innocent beauties.

The next morning, when he was sitting in court, he suddenly became curious about what kind of person Marquis Jingcheng was, and was even more concerned about whether there were any similarities between him and his adopted son.

I really shouldn't dwell on such thoughts any further, as I feel my mind seems to be infected with evil.

There was only one thing he had to focus on.

That is, whether the Shen family's daughter is safe or not.

You should not worry about anything else.

In the following days, everyone seemed to have returned to their normal peaceful routine. Every day they received gifts from the Jingcheng Marquis Mansion, but these items were coldly placed aside by Shen Muxue and ignored.
