However, this idea is obviously not a good one. In that virtual world, they have already become one. How can they cut off all connections in real life?

Whenever the emperor imagined that these beautiful moments only existed in dreams and did not actually happen to Shen Muxue, he would feel pain as if being cut by a knife.

No, this kind of thing should be a burden shared by two people.

Emotions and responsibilities are never tasks that can be accomplished by one party alone.

So what about taking Shen Muxue away directly?

This thought flashed through his mind, but he soon realized that it was an impossible solution.

However, every time at this time, the emperor's mind would always emerge with those unbearable memories of the past, including the image of the queen mother who had betrayed him and the many concubines in the harem who had committed adultery. These marks of betrayal deeply hurt him.

The emperor was extremely disgusted with this act of disloyalty.

He cannot tolerate any form of betrayal in his heart, especially in love.

If Shen Muxue chooses to abandon Luo Yuchen and come to him, then what is the difference between her and those who abandon their marriage and family ethics?

Thinking of this, the emperor felt deeply confused and painful. Whether he chose to let Shen Muxue go and continue to stay in her original life or to force her into his arms, it would be an extremely difficult and torturous choice.

After finally holding on until the evening, he finally waited for that extremely efficient subordinate to rush back to the palace to report the situation.

"Your Majesty, after careful investigation, we learned that the property was actually gifted to Shen Muxue by the Shen family as her personal property, and she is indeed the only one living here."

Upon hearing this information, His Majesty immediately stood up and made plans to go out.

The old eunuch who had been serving beside him saw this and asked anxiously: "Who is the emperor going to see?"

"I'm going out there myself!" he replied in a firm tone.

"Ah? But it's already night, and the palace gates are locked."

"No matter what, just unlock it for me!"

He ordered without hesitation.

So, inside the palace illuminated by the bright moonlight, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding and agreed on a time and place to meet outside later.

At this time, Shen Muxue was swinging gently on the swing in the yard. She closed her eyes and recalled that the dream-aiding pill she took yesterday had no effect. She felt a little lost and confused.

"System Master, I took the pill yesterday but couldn't enter His Majesty's dream. Is the drug losing its effect?"

Shen Muxue asked, a hint of anxiety in her voice.

[Host, the Emperor didn't sleep a wink last night, nor did he have any dreams.] The system's voice sounded calmly.

Well, it turned out that her pills did not work because the emperor did not sleep all night. This situation may happen again in the future.

She didn't have many Dream Pills in her hand to begin with, so it seemed she had to use them sparingly in the future and not waste them as she had done before.

"System, what is my current favorability?"

Shen Muxue couldn't help but ask again.

[Host, it's still 30, but it seems to have increased, 31, 32...] The system's answer surprised Shen Muxue.

Shen Muxue widened her eyes in surprise and looked at a tree in front of her. The growth was too inexplicable.

Could it be that I had inadvertently done something that pleased the emperor?

But I haven't had any special opportunities to contact the emperor recently, how could this happen?

Just as she was still confused, a black shadow suddenly flew past her eyes, scaring her so much that she jumped up. Qing Qian beside her was also scared to death. They both stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

Immediately afterwards, another black shadow flew over, and the two black shadows quickly intertwined and started a fierce fight.

Shen Muxue and Qing Qian held each other's hands tightly, their bodies trembling with fear as they backed away. They planned to hide in the room when no one was paying attention.

But before he could retreat a few steps, a deep and slightly caring male voice came from behind, reminding him: "Watch your step."

This warning almost caused Qingqian to scream at the same time, and Shen Muxue hurriedly turned her head to see what was going on, and happened to see those black eyes - it was the emperor.

In the hazy moonlight, his eyes looked particularly bright, as eye-catching as the brightest stars in the night sky.

The emperor smiled faintly. "The assassin is too rampant. I have already sent people to pursue him, and they have chased him all the way here."

However, a burst of laughter came from not far away, "Hahaha, this is so funny and sad!"

When Pei Chen looked at his brother Pei Yi for the last time, his eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment. "After I die, you should be satisfied, right?"

He didn't even give the other party a chance to refute, and swiftly and decisively cut his own throat. "But I still have a small request, and that is that you please don't let the Queen Mother Xigong rest in peace after her death. I hope you can remember this."

As these words fell, everything returned to silence.

Then he fell to the ground, his body stiff, his eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on his face.

The royal guards suddenly lost their command and became a mess, not knowing what to do.

They looked around, hoping to find someone who could tell them what to do next.

Seeing this, Pei Yi ordered Xuanwu to control them, "From now on, abolish this secret guard and behead them all!"

His tone was filled with anger and determination.

The hatred accumulated over the years is now like a volcanic eruption, difficult to quell.

These secret guards were the same group of people who chased him and killed his mother.

Those days that are too painful to recall seem to reappear before my eyes at this moment.

Now he can finally get his revenge!

The feeling of relief is indescribable.

In the court, Song Jingchen took the initiative to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, now that Pei Chen is dead, please ascend the throne and save the country!"

There was sincerity and determination in his voice.

Under such circumstances, he felt that this was the only way to truly restore order to the country.

With him taking the lead, the officials behind him also realized the situation, and most of them supported Pei Yi.

The entire court began to echo with voices of support: "Please ascend the throne, Your Majesty, and save the country!"

Everyone looked at Pei Yi on the stage with expectant eyes, as if they saw hope for the future.

Those who proposed that Pei Yi ascend the throne knelt down one after another, expressing their immense support and trust in the prince.

Even the eunuch who had been standing in the highest position lowered his head and took out something carefully wrapped in silk from his arms.

When the cloth was slowly lifted, a jade stone shining with a warm luster appeared in front of everyone - that was the real jade seal.

"Your Majesty, this is the real imperial seal."

The chief eunuch said this respectfully, kneeling down and presenting it with both hands.

"The seal in the hands of the late emperor was always a fake one. The real seal has always been with me."

He continued to explain, hoping to clear up everyone's doubts.

"Your Majesty, please be crowned emperor!"

This sentence was like a bombshell dropping on the crowd, causing a huge shock.
