The cold emperor reigns supreme, the arrogant empress begs for a truce.

Chapter 101: Cold Shower

Although she is a modern person of the 21st century, she is not as cunning as these people who are "ancient" to her; in fact, she can be described as naive.

She had no idea what the other person was thinking; on the contrary, she always gave her whole heart to them. Fortunately, she still had basic discernment.

She treats those she truly cares for with the same sincerity.

Leng Yuling lay on the bed, her hands supporting her chin, pondering what Mo Xuan had just said to her. Could it be that she had really misunderstood Mo Zhen?

She didn't deny that Mo Zhen was a good leader as an emperor, but she was somewhat skeptical of Mo Xuan's claim that he was a more capable military commander than Ma Xiaoxiao.

When Mo Zhen came in, he saw Leng Yuling with her legs crossed and sticking out of the bed, lying face down with her head facing inward, and her legs swinging from time to time.

He had never seen a woman as unconcerned about her image as Leng Yuling, who didn't even resemble a woman or empress.

"Leng Yuling." He frowned and called Leng Yuling's name in a low voice.

She only turned over when she heard Mo Zhen's voice, but she wasn't afraid of his displeased tone. She rested her chin on one hand, letting her long, shiny black hair fall naturally over her chest, and stared at Mo Zhen: "Are you trying to scare me to death, or are you trying to scare me to death?"

Leng Yuling asked the same question twice in a row. In the past, Mo Zhen would definitely not have understood, but now he was used to her strange questions from time to time and was no longer surprised.

Mo Zhen looked up at Leng Yuling, but was captivated by her beauty. She had no idea how beautiful she was, or how much people couldn't take their eyes off her.

"Why are you staring at me?" Only when she spoke did Mo Zhen awkwardly look away, turning his head to the side. If you looked closely, you could see his slightly red earlobes.

However, Leng Yuling noticed this small detail. As if she had discovered something interesting, she suddenly sat up in bed, walked to Mo Zhen's side, and said with a smile, "Your ears are even red. Aren't you a little too innocent?"

She never expected that Mo Zhen, who had so many concubines in the harem, would blush when she discovered him staring at her. It seemed that the more she spent time with him, the more she discovered a side of him that was different from his appearance.

"So what? You are my Empress. What does it matter if I look at you? And even if it's not just you, I can also..."

Mo Zhen was answering Leng Yuling's previous question, but before he could finish speaking, Leng Yuling interrupted him, looking at him warily and asking, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you think?" Mo Zhen curled his lips and walked towards Leng Yuling step by step. The latter retreated step by step, still looking wary. "If you come any closer, I'll call for help." She crossed her arms and looked at Mo Zhen.

Mo Zhen paused, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "Call for help? Are you sure you want more people to know about the intimate moments between you and me?"

After all, Mo Zhen stayed in her room almost every night, so who would believe that there was no physical intimacy between them?

"Damn it, Mo Zhen, you shameless person!" Leng Yuling pointed at Mo Zhen and said, "Don't come any closer! I'm telling you, I've studied self-defense techniques!" She said as she backed away until she had nowhere left to retreat before stretching out her hands to block in front of her.

He rarely saw Leng Yuling like this, and he couldn't help but want to tease her. He moved closer little by little, and then his chest pressed against Leng Yuling's hands.

"Don't think I won't touch you just because you're the emperor. If you continue, I won't be polite!" This was practically Leng Yuling's final ultimatum to Mo Zhen. However, Mo Zhen had already bent down.

The next moment, Leng Yuling didn't even know when he had seen through her intentions. By the time she realized what was happening, her arm was already in his hand.

"You think these petty tricks can fool me?"

Mo Zhen seemed to be saying she was naive, and the latter felt deeply ashamed of herself. After hearing this, she stomped hard on Mo Zhen's foot. She didn't hear a sound, but when she looked up, she saw the pained expression on his face. Only then did she show a hint of smugness, her expression seemingly saying, "I told you not to mess with me."

"Leng Yuling, you've got some nerve, aren't you afraid..."

Mo Zhen seemed somewhat embarrassed and angry, but Leng Yuling was not afraid of him at all, and even interrupted him with a smug look: "Not afraid of what? Do you want to kill me?"

Mo Zhen was taken aback, never expecting Leng Yuling to say such a thing, since no concubine would dare to say such smug words in front of the emperor.

She was certain that Mo Zhen wouldn't kill her, and she knew that Mo Zhen was helpless against her, which is why she dared to offend him again and again.

Seeing Leng Yuling's smug expression, Mo Zhen suddenly raised his hand and pinched her chin, but just as Leng Yuling was about to speak, he kissed her red lips.

Leng Yuling was completely taken aback by his actions. She stared at him with wide eyes, but the next moment, Mo Zhen covered her eyes with his large hand.

Mo Zhen slowly changed from a light kiss to a deep kiss, his tongue prying open her teeth and probing inside until he realized that Leng Yuling was having some difficulty breathing, at which point he pulled away from her lips.

Seeing Leng Yuling's face flushed red, whether from embarrassment or breathlessness, and realizing that she had absolutely no experience with kissing, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Next time, remember to close your eyes when I kiss you, and..." Mo Zhen whispered in Leng Yuling's ear, with a hint of ambiguity, "Take a breath."

After saying that, he left Jingling Palace before Leng Yuling could speak.

Leng Yuling couldn't help but complain, "What's the point of leaving after every kiss?" She pounded the pillow, but every time she thought of that kiss, she couldn't help but smile.

Even Ziyan found it strange and asked, "Your Majesty, the Emperor isn't staying at Jingling Palace tonight, so why do you seem so happy?"

It wasn't until she heard Ziyan's voice that Leng Yuling snapped out of her reverie. She glanced at Ziyan and said coquettishly, "Maybe you'll understand later."

Even Leng Yuling didn't realize that she seemed to have fallen in love. She only knew that she didn't feel disgusted when she was with Mo Zhen, and was even a little happy. Moreover, she didn't reject his sudden kisses at all.

However, what Leng Yuling didn't know was that Mo Zhen had gone back to Shangqian Palace to take a cold shower. It was precisely because he didn't want to frighten her that he chose to give her more time to adapt, letting her gradually feel his feelings for her.

“Your Majesty, since you are already in Jingling Palace, why did you come back to take a cold shower? It’s not good for your health.” Although Li Quan was a eunuch, he knew the reason why Mo Zhen took a cold shower.

Mo Zhen smiled and said, "She's still young. I just don't want to frighten her." He couldn't help but smile when he thought of how Leng Yuling always said she was still young.

And he is willing to wait until the day she says she has grown up.
