Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

After Feng Qingyue returned to the palace, she stared blankly at the candlelight in her bedroom.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside. She just raised her head and before she could ask any questions, Jun Lingyuan pushed the door open and walked in.

Jun Lingyuan was dressed in a black brocade robe, with an upright posture and a hint of imperceptible tenderness on his cold face.

He slowly walked towards Feng Qingyue. Seeing her exhausted face, he couldn't help but feel pity for her. He whispered, "My beloved, after you mentioned the stranger today, I've thought carefully and have a strong feeling that the Emperor's uncle is behind this. I've already arranged for a trusted confidant to investigate his movements."

Jun Lingyuan mused to himself, "The Emperor's uncle has always been indifferent to state affairs. If he's really plotting something behind the scenes, it must be something significant." Feng Qingyue might just be an innocent person caught up in this, but it's also possible that the Emperor's uncle has sensed his special feelings for her and wants to use her as a check on him. This is absolutely intolerable."

Feng Qingyue nodded gently, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. She said, "Your Majesty, I have carefully recalled the last assassination attempt. Although I have found out that the Prime Minister and the Queen Mother were involved, I have also sensed that there is a mysterious force targeting me. The source of this force has not yet been determined, so we must pay attention."

Feng Qingyue knew that she had no one to rely on in the palace, and could only survive by relying on her own wisdom and relying on Jun Lingyuan's protection. However, she did not want to rely entirely on Jun Lingyuan. She wanted to gain a firm foothold in the palace with her own strength and find out those who were trying to murder her.

Jun Lingyuan frowned, gently grasped Feng Qingyue's hand, and said solemnly and sincerely, "Don't worry too much. I will definitely not let you get into danger. I will protect you. As long as I am here, no one can hurt you in the slightest."

Jun Lingyuan found himself caring more and more about this woman. Her joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness seemed to tug at his heartstrings. He didn't want to see her get hurt. This was not just because she was his concubine, but because she had quietly walked into the depths of his heart.

Feng Qingyue felt a warm feeling in her heart, but she said half-jokingly, "Your Majesty is always so sweet-talking. I can't even tell which ones are sincere and which ones are perfunctory."

Feng Qingyue was deeply conflicted, unsure how true Jun Lingyuan's feelings for her were. In this palace, love was both a luxury and a danger. On the one hand, she enjoyed Jun Lingyuan's care, but on the other, she feared falling too deeply into it and ending up bruised and battered.

"Qingyue, everything I said to you is true. I have something else to tell you." Jun Lingyuan was a little nervous, unsure how Feng Qingyue would react. He wanted to be closer to her, but he was also worried that this would offend her.

Feng Qingyue looked at him with a hint of curiosity: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Jun Lingyuan's lips curled up slightly, a hint of amusement in his eyes. He thought to himself, this little woman always makes him soft-hearted. He longed to be closer to her, so he said, "I have decided to stay in my beloved concubine's palace from now on."

Feng Qingyue's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she quickly shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, this is illogical. Your Majesty has many concubines, so you can stay in the other concubines' palaces."

Jun Lingyuan wasn't angry. Instead, he leaned in close to her and whispered in her ear, "My beloved concubine said that men and women shouldn't touch each other. But you slept with me in your arms last night, and now you want to deny it? You took advantage of me, so shouldn't you be responsible?"

Jun Lingyuan knew that he was being a bit of a scoundrel, but he just wanted to see Feng Qingyue's shy look. In his heart, he also hoped that Feng Qingyue would accept his closeness.

Feng Qingyue's face flushed crimson, remembering that she had hugged Jun Lingyuan tightly in her daze last night. She couldn't help but stammer, "It was just a hug. It's not a big deal. Why should I be responsible?"

Jun Lingyuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's not right for my beloved concubine to say that. I have to bring her back tonight." Jun Lingyuan was very excited. Seeing Feng Qingyue's shy look, he just thought she was so cute.

Feng Qingyue's face flushed with shame. Seeing Jun Lingyuan's scoundrel appearance, she felt both angry and amused. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If Your Majesty must stay overnight, then Your Majesty can sleep on the couch."

Upon hearing this, Jun Lingyuan raised his eyebrows and said in a wronged tone, "My beloved, I am the ruler of a country. It is really beneath my dignity to sleep on the couch."

After hearing what he said, Feng Qingyue couldn't help but think, "What he said seems to make sense. After all, he is the emperor. It is indeed not appropriate to let him sleep on the couch."

Thinking of this, she compromised somewhat helplessly and said, "Well, Your Majesty will sleep on the bed, and I will sleep on the couch."

Feng Qingyue thought that as a modern person, she was not that conservative. It was just that she did not have any special feelings for Jun Lingyuan at the moment, so it was better to keep some distance.

Seeing that Feng Qingyue agreed despite being very reluctant, Jun Lingyuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, I will do as you say, my beloved."

Jun Lingyuan felt a sly thought in his heart. They were already living in the same room, and he was worried that they wouldn't be able to sleep in the same bed. He believed that Feng Qingyue would slowly accept him as time went by.

However, Feng Qingyue soon regretted her decision as she lay on the couch. She felt uncomfortable all over. The couch was hard and small, no match for her own big bed.

Her heart was full of resentment, and her eyes unconsciously looked towards Jun Lingyuan's comfortable big bed, with a look of desire and a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Jun Lingyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this, and said to Feng Qingyue, "Qingyue, look how aggrieved you are lying on that small couch. My big bed is very spacious, you can come and sleep on it." Jun Lingyuan said very seriously.

Feng Qingyue looked at him doubtfully: "Really?"

Jun Lingyuan nodded seriously: "Really."

Feng Qingyue then slowly stood up and walked towards the bed. But when she reached the bed, she found Jun Lingyuan lying there motionless.

Feng Qingyue looked at him with confusion on her face, but Jun Lingyuan said slowly, "Qingyue, I only told you to come over, but I didn't say I was going to sleep over there!"

When Feng Qingyue heard this, she immediately felt that she had been severely fooled by Jun Lingyuan and couldn't help feeling a little angry.

Seeing this, Jun Lingyuan hurriedly grabbed Feng Qingyue's hand and coaxed her, "Qingyue, don't be angry, don't be angry. Come, go to sleep! Don't worry, without your consent, I will never touch you and will stay away from you."

Feng Qingyue looked at him in disbelief: "Your Majesty, this is really hard to believe. You said the same thing last time."

Jun Lingyuan thought of what happened last time and felt a little regretful. He quickly said to Feng Qingyue, "Qingyue, I was wrong about what happened last time. I promise you, I will never do it again."

Feng Qingyue looked at Jun Lingyuan like a child who had done something wrong.

After much consideration, she decided to go to bed. After all, the couch was hard and small, making it uncomfortable to sleep on.

After she climbed onto the bed, she took up the quilt and drew the "38th Parallel" on the bed. She said to Jun Lingyuan seriously, "Your Majesty, you must not cross this line. This is the boundary between Chu and Han."

Jun Lingyuan looked at Feng Qingyue's childish behavior, smiled happily and nodded.

Feng Qingyue lay in bed, her thoughts racing. She thought to herself that she had never even had a boyfriend in modern times, yet now she was sharing a bed with a man. It was truly absurd.

She was worried that she would gradually get used to Jun Lingyuan's existence and become unable to extricate herself from this relationship. Besides, she had to go back.

Although Jun Lingyuan didn't understand the meaning of "boyfriend", he could roughly guess what Feng Qingyue meant, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Jun Lingyuan thought that Feng Qingyue had never had anyone close to her, so he was her only close person, which inexplicably gave him a sense of accomplishment.

He wanted to understand Feng Qingyue more deeply, to get into her heart and become the most important person in her heart.
