Liu Xin lowered her eyes with a timid look, and took a few steps back in pretended panic.

The Emperor of Jin Kingdom stepped forward and held her soft body, squinting his eyes gently to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, you said you and Mo Yufan have a past, you can tell me in detail."

Liu Xinshen realized that the more the woman resisted, the more interested she became. She pretended to be afraid and tried to pull her hand away, but it was completely useless. She widened her eyes and looked panic-stricken.

"Your Majesty, you are too close. I am afraid."

The tearful look aroused some thoughts in the Emperor of Jin State, and he suddenly moved closer and hugged Liu Xin. He was fat, and his bloated face made his eyes look even smaller. He then carried Liu Xin horizontally to the inner bedroom.

"Ah!" Liu Xin exclaimed.

Afterwards, an unfathomable sound was heard from inside. The palace maids and eunuchs seemed to have been accustomed to it. They walked out of the door quietly and kept their heads down to guard outside.

The old minister came over and asked the palace maid, "I heard that there is a woman who is an old friend of the Emperor of Lan. I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with her? Can this person persuade the Emperor of Lan to withdraw his troops?"

The maid lowered her head and replied timidly: "Your Majesty is not convenient."

The old official looked at the tightly closed door and the occasional noise coming from inside. How could he not know what was going on? He immediately blew his beard and glared, threw up his sleeves and said angrily: "Ridiculous!"

Regardless of whether the woman was the lover of the Emperor of Lan, it would be extremely unwise for the Emperor to touch her now.

Unfortunately, he had the will but not the ability, and the emperor was unscrupulous and would not listen to him at all.

On the second day, the Emperor of Jin State, having gotten what he wanted, was in an especially good mood. The two of them were still whispering in each other's ears in the room, and only then did the Emperor remember his business.

"My beauty, you said before that you had a past with that traitor. Tell me more about it."

Liu Xin was tidying up her messy hair. She bit her lip and said, "He once loved me so much, but I am a concubine's daughter, and Lady Yan would not allow me to marry him." In order to increase her credibility, she took out a tattered letter.

That was a love poem the original owner had written to Liu Xin.

Originally, the letter was lost. Later, when Liu Xin was moving, she accidentally flipped through it and kept it, thinking it was proof of her charm.

"Later, I married someone else. On the wedding day, he was drunk and unconscious. Later, Yan Guoyi was exiled, and I lost contact with him. Later, my husband died unexpectedly, and I, Ruyu, raised my son alone and lived a difficult life. I heard that Ruyu only had my sister in his harem. My sister looks a bit like me. I wonder if it's because of me."

The Emperor of Jin State picked up the letter with doubt, took a look at it, called a palace maid to change his clothes, and then assigned his men to investigate.

"My beauty, whether it is true or not, you can stay in the palace for now. You don't have to live such a hard life in the future."

Liu Xin looked at him with tears of gratitude, and when he turned and left, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.

If it wasn't for the fact that she wanted to get close to Tu Yufan, she wouldn't have given herself to such an ugly man. After all, he was the emperor, so it wasn't a loss for her.

After investigating the matter, the subordinates delivered the findings to the Emperor of Jin State.

After a careful inspection, the Emperor of Jin finally felt relieved.

The above investigation is consistent with what Liu Xin said. Liu Xin was a concubine's daughter of the Shangshu Mansion during the reign of the Emperor's grandfather. Originally, Prince Yan Guoyi wanted to marry Liu Xin, but finally married the legitimate daughter Liu Yutong. Later, it was rumored that Prince Yan Guoyi neglected his wife and often met with Liu Xin in secret. Later, on the night Liu Xin married Liu Qing, Prince Yan Guoyi caused a scandal. He went to a place with smoke and willows to get drunk, which led to a sudden high fever and he almost couldn't be saved. Later rumors said that it was because Liu Xin married him that he was exiled and became the emperor of Ruyi's Lan Kingdom.

Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, Liu Qing was demoted and died unexpectedly, so Liu Xin began to live in Yuejiang.

He took out the letter and read a few words silently.

Longing is as deep as the sea, and old memories are as far as the sky.

The Emperor of Jin State couldn't help but feel a little proud. No matter how capable that man was, his beloved woman had no choice but to give herself to him.

The Emperor of Jin immediately called several of his confidants to discuss the matter.

After some debate, they decided to bring Liu Xin over, maybe they could find a different way.

If Tu Yufan knew about this, he would definitely think that they were overthinking it, and he would be able to kick the heroine ten meters away.

.....

Liu Xin was lying on a chaise longue, with several palace maids standing around her. The maids fanned her gently and placed snacks within easy reach of her.
