Shen Muxue didn't want to talk much with Shen Luoxi. She took the Queen Mother's hand and said, "Sister, you are feeling very heavy right now. How can I chat with you? If Prince Xuan hears, I'm afraid he will say that I don't understand the hardships of your pregnancy. I don't know where the Queen Mother is feeling unwell. Xue'er is willing to help you relieve it a little."

Shen Luoxi looked very uncomfortable standing by, but in order to become the queen in the future, she had to endure it temporarily.

After leaving the palace, I must confide in King Xuan and tell him how I endured humiliation and endured endless cold eyes and grievances in order to realize his ambitions.

"Sister, let's not disturb the Queen Mother's rest anymore. There are some things I want to tell you alone."

Rolling her eyes inwardly, Shen Muxue guessed that the other party was probably showing off something again.

Anyway, to her now, Shen Luoxi is just a clown, so just let her perform.

The two sisters slowly walked out of the palace. After sorting out her thoughts several times, Shen Luoxi spoke with difficulty, "Sister, perhaps I did do many things wrong in the past. I hope you can be more tolerant."

Shen Muxue nodded in response, not because she felt any tolerance or understanding, but more because she didn't care about these things at all and didn't want to waste too much time on them.

Then the two of them walked forward a few more steps. At this time, Shen Luoxi stopped again and said, "Since I am now married to someone else, if you still love the prosperous courtyard of the past, please just go back and live there. I don't mind."

These words immediately caused a huge wave of emotion in Shen Muxue's heart.

She originally thought that these words might be a sign that Shen Luoxi wanted to repair the relationship, but after hearing these words, she completely lost interest in the conversation.

"Sister, take your time. I won't see you off."

Shen Muxue said coldly, preparing to leave this embarrassing situation.

However, before he had taken a few steps, Shen Luoxi, who had hurriedly caught up with him, grabbed his sleeve.

She was forced to stop and felt even more upset.

At the same moment, a voice came from the corner, breaking the deadlock.

"Sister Xue, Luo Xi."

It was a familiar voice, it was King Xuan.

Shen Muxue frowned slightly, wondering what trouble this would bring.

Seeing Prince Xuan approaching quickly, Shen Luoxi immediately pretended to be aggrieved and said coquettishly: "Prince, look, my sister is not even willing to accompany me for a while longer."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Muxue immediately withdrew her arm and said bluntly: "You two can chat, I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, she prepared to leave and no longer pay attention to the two of them.

However, Prince Xuan did not let her go easily and asked, "Sister Xue, may I ask if the Queen Mother is busy right now?"

There seemed to be a hint of urgency in his words.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother has just expressed her fatigue. Why don't we come and pay our respects another day?"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Luoxi had already stood between King Xuan and Shen Muxue, trying to block the communication between the two.

This action made Shen Muxue even more annoyed.

After hearing this, King Xuan's expression became even more gloomy.

Today when he went to meet the emperor, he was hastily sent away by a eunuch.

Now, when he came to visit the Queen Mother, he was also treated coldly and was not even given the opportunity to stay for dinner - this shows that his status had indeed declined significantly.

Despite this, he still tried to tell Shen Muxue: "Actually, I also want to talk to you privately."

His eyes were sincere and firm.

Looking up at the Shen couple in front of her, Shen Muxue became more and more puzzled as to why the couple made such a request.

The doubts in her heart grew heavier, and she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unease.

She did not respond because she knew that Shen Luoxi's possessiveness would never allow such a situation to happen.

His almost paranoid desire for control and strong desire for exclusivity is so strong that if he thinks someone is trying to get his hands on something he considers exclusive, he will do everything he can to stop them.

At this moment, she just had to wait quietly to see what measures Shen Luoxi would take to force King Xuan to leave.

But unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, she found that Shen Luoxi seemed to have obeyed King Xuan's wishes and quietly left this place, leaving them with only the opportunity to be alone.

This sudden change filled her with doubts.

What exactly is going on?

Faced with this puzzling scene, Shen Muxue felt that everyone around her was becoming increasingly unpredictable.

It was as if the whole world had changed drastically overnight, making it impossible for her to understand the subtle relationships and secrets hidden in the dark.

She even began to wonder if there were more undiscovered sides to the people she knew.

"Sister Xue, no matter what you think, there are some things I have been holding in my heart for a long time, and now I must express my feelings to you."

Prince Xuan spoke affectionately and eagerly, "Deep in my heart, there will always be only one woman, and that is you. Although I was indeed married yesterday according to the imperial decree, from that moment until now I have never set foot in that bridal chamber. To me, so-called marriage is nothing more than a forced formality. And in my mind, the person who truly counts as my partner is always you."

"Xue'er, please believe that what happened yesterday was a complete misunderstanding! We grew up together and have been through so many ups and downs. Do you really think I would easily forget my feelings for you? In all these years, apart from you, I have never been sincere to any other woman or shown even the slightest bit of special attention. I am still the same Xuan Wang from before. What about you? After so many years, do you still retain that pure and innocent girlish feelings as before?"

Listening to Prince Xuan's heartfelt words, Shen Muxue felt extremely complicated.

On the surface, this handsome and elegant prince still looks familiar and friendly. However, when he has started to build his own family, he still thinks he can easily return to the pure emotions of his youth.

Such an idea is too naive.

Looking at the sincere face in front of her, Shen Muxue couldn't help but feel that this dignified prince seemed to be living in a self-constructed illusion, which was extremely ridiculous.

"In his eyes, have I really become an ignorant child who can be fooled by a few nice words?"

Shen Muxue thought silently.

Seeing that Shen Muxue did not respond, Prince Xuan solemnly vowed: "If the time is right in the future, I will definitely take you as my queen."

His tone was firm and serious, as if he was expressing his determination and commitment to her.

In order to hide the smile that she couldn't help but smile in her heart, Shen Muxue coughed lightly and pretended to adjust her mood.
