Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Just then, Eunuch Wang's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Consort Shen has arrived again."

Shen Yuan pouted and muttered unhappily to Eunuch Wang, "What do you mean 'again'? It sounds like you're not welcoming me..."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wang gave an awkward laugh and quickly turned his head to the side. This beauty was too fiery; it was safer to talk to her less…

Meanwhile, Mo Ting, inside the bedchamber, felt a vague unease. Why had that beauty, Shen, come again?

Jiang Qingyan gently patted Mo Ting's chest and whispered, "Let me tell you a secret. I have a special ability: speak of the devil and he appears. Before, whenever I mentioned the Empress Dowager, she would appear! Just now, we were talking about the Great Wizard of Xia Kingdom, and here he is..."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ting was shocked. "What? Shen Meiren is that Xia Kingdom's Grand Wizard? How could he..."

Jiang Qingyan sat up in bed, sighing as she dressed, "Sigh~ This matter is too complicated, I don't know what he's thinking. Anyway, since we're already here, I'll go and meet him first, you can rest for a while longer."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Yuan pushed the door open and entered while Eunuch Wang turned his head.

By the time Eunuch Wang realized what was happening, the person had already gone inside, and he dared not follow... so he could only wait at the door for the Emperor's judgment...

Jiang Qingyan was startled by the sudden sound of the door being pushed open. Luckily, she was already dressed, otherwise he would have seen everything...

She secretly rejoiced, but it hadn't even been two seconds before she suddenly remembered that Mo Ting was still completely naked in bed...

Jiang Qingyan quickly turned around and pulled the blanket over Mo Ting, covering him completely except for his head.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yuan chuckled, "Hmm... nice figure, about the same size as mine, no wonder she likes you so much..."

As he spoke, he walked to the small couch, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Seeing how natural Shen Yuan's movements were, Jiang Qingyan began to doubt whether she was truly the owner of this bedchamber.

Mo Ting pulled down the bed curtains, quickly dressed, and came out with a cold expression, saying, "Beauty Shen, you have overstepped your bounds."

Hearing Mo Ting's voice, Jiang Qingyan snapped out of her daze and immediately scolded, "How dare you, Beauty Chen! How dare you enter my palace at will? Is your head too heavy to carry around your neck?"

Shen Yuan chuckled softly, "Yeah, why don't you offer your shoulder so I can lean on it and rest? Like that night... um... your shoulder is so soft, it's really comfortable to lean on..."

Jiang Qingyan was furious that Shen Yuan was even more frivolous than her, her brows furrowing into waves of anger. "Shut up! You shameless bastard, believe me or not, I'll throw you into the imperial prison!"

Shen Yuan took a leisurely sip of tea, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "The Heavenly Prison? So you like that kind of thing... It's quite exciting, isn't it..."

Jiang Qingyan had met her match. She turned to look at Mo Ting beside her, whose ears were red with anger, and decided not to continue arguing with Shen Yuan, lest he say something even more explicit that would provoke Mo Ting...

Jiang Qingyan took Mo Ting's hand and sat down on the edge of the bed with him, patting his back as a way of comforting him.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and stared at Shen Yuan coldly, saying, "Speak, what brings you to me?"

Shen Yuan rested his arm on the table and said casually, "I heard you're going to help Yun Yuxuan ascend to the throne of Xia King?"

Jiang Qingyan narrowed her eyes, looking wary, and asked, "Who told you that?"

Could it be Yun Yuxuan who said it? That shouldn't be the case… If they were in cahoots, why would they need a marriage alliance? They could just seize the throne…

It seems that Shen Yuan overheard her conversation with Yun Yuxuan in the room last time…

Shen Yuan took a sip of tea. "I can help you."

Jiang Qingyan asked suspiciously, "You'll help me? Really?"

Shen Yuan curled his lips: "You already know my identity. As long as I'm here, this matter will surely be accomplished smoothly. But... I have a condition. If you agree to it, then I will help you."

Jiang Qingyan pondered for a moment, stroking her chin. Combining Yun Yuxuan and Mo Ting's descriptions of Shen Yuan, she figured that Shen Yuan must indeed be powerful.

Moreover, she had personally witnessed the secret passage within Shenyuan's bedchamber in the Xia King's palace... that led directly outside the city...

With Shen Yuan's help, seizing the throne would likely be much easier than if he planned it himself...

Jiang Qingyan made up her mind and said, "Okay, I agree to your conditions."

Shen Yuan chuckled: "I haven't even stated my conditions yet, and you've already agreed?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan clenched her fist speechlessly. Good grief… she'd been too hasty…

Seeing Jiang Qingyan's dazed expression, Shen Yuan found it extremely cute and smiled indulgently: "Don't worry, I won't make you do anything immoral or immoral. It's something you like. After it's done, I'll come back to you to fulfill that condition."

Hearing Shen Yuan say this, Jiang Qingyan nodded in relief: "Then it's settled. However... next time you come to Chaoyang Palace, you are not allowed to enter without my order!"

Shen Yuan stood up and walked to Jiang Qingyan. Suddenly, he leaned down and kissed her on the lips. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Mo Ting, standing to the side, had a dark expression on his face. He stood up and shoved Shen Yuan away, saying sternly, "Beauty Shen, if there's nothing else, go back quickly."

This kid is constantly pushing his limits... If he weren't useful to his husband, he wouldn't care what kind of great wizard he is, he would definitely kill him with one blow...

Shen Yuan took a step back, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "Oh dear, I almost forgot, the Empress is still here. How can I not control my mouth? Alright, I won't bother you any longer today. I'll come again tomorrow."

As he spoke, he walked towards the door of the sleeping quarters, but suddenly stopped when he reached the door.

He stuck his head into the hall and grinned wickedly, "The Empress's size may be similar to mine, but her skills might not be as good as mine!"

Mo Ting was about to get angry when Shen Yuan closed the door, leaving him feeling very frustrated.

He was not good with words to begin with, and had never seen such a shameless person before. Faced with this verbal provocation, he could only silently fum in anger...

Sigh... Who told my husband to need that annoying Shen Yuan now? But... is he really the legendary omnipotent great wizard?

Jiang Qingyan was also somewhat confused. Shen Yuan and Mo Ting didn't seem to have any deep-seated hatred between them, so why was Shen Yuan targeting Mo Ting so aggressively? Why did he have to say those things to provoke him…

As I was thinking this, I suddenly felt a warm, moist sensation on my lips…

Mo Ting leaned down and kissed Jiang Qingyan's lips passionately, almost aggressively, wanting to completely mask the smell of that stinky man from before...

Jiang Qingyan wrapped her arms around Mo Ting's neck, tilted her head back, and responded deeply to his kiss. As their tongues intertwined, she could still feel the warmth of Mo Ting's hand...
