Su Wanying's pupils contracted slightly.

My sister won't suspect that she likes the emperor, will she?

She pursed her lips and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Back then, when my second uncle and I were trapped, it was Lord Qian who descended from the sky and saved us from our predicament."

“I know he has a wife at home, and I don’t have any particular thoughts about it.”

"I've only met people who are exceptionally talented; no one else can catch my eye."

"I would rather remain unmarried for the rest of my life than settle for someone else."

"Sister, please don't force me, okay?"

Su Wanwan was slightly surprised, "Qian Ning?"

"You like Qian Ning?"

Su Wanying nodded shyly and awkwardly.

It's shameful to admit to having feelings for a married man.

Su Wanwan remained silent for a long time.

To be honest, after experiencing Yan Rong and He Ying, she finds it hard to trust anyone anymore.

She had once suspected that Wan Ying might have some other feelings for Lu Xingjian.

After all, Lu Xingjian is really too good-looking.

He was the most handsome man she had ever seen, without a doubt.

Furthermore, the emperor's status added to his immense appeal to women.

What woman doesn't admire strength?

If Wan Ying likes Lu Xingjian, she could actually let him be.

Historical records show that there are many stories of sisters who devoted themselves to the same man.

What about Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede, Empress Zhou the Elder and Empress Zhou the Younger?

Lu Xingjian's harem could not possibly consist of only her.

Sooner or later, someone else will have to take over.

Lu Xingjian's words last night felt like needles piercing her heart.

He actually felt wronged.

He could have had a large harem with numerous concubines.

Now he only has her by his side, and although he doesn't say anything, he still envies those men who have three wives and four concubines.

However, she did not ask him to stay with only one person.

Instead, they gave him a talent show.

It was his refusal that he wanted it, so how can you blame yourself?

"Sister?" Su Wanying looked at Su Wanwan in confusion.

Su Wanwan snapped out of her daze and blinked.

Although Qian Ning is not bad, the difference is still obvious when she stands next to Lu Xingjian.

However, everyone has their own preferences.

"Qian Ning has a wife, are you really not considering other options?" Su Wanwan asked earnestly.

She paused for a moment, then spoke with difficulty: "If you want to enter the palace to help me take care of Yan Ge'er, I will be very grateful to you."

Su Wanying was startled. She stood up and waved her hands hurriedly, almost crying, "Sister, you're scaring me."

"The Emperor is so fierce, my legs go weak when I see him, how dare I stay in the palace?"

"Only you dare to argue with him."

Su Wanwan: "Do you really plan to never get married?"

Su Wanying nodded emphatically: "Grandfather and second uncle have agreed to let me stay at home."

"I'm not afraid of being criticized."

Su Wanwan remained silent for a long time, a faint sadness in her eyes.

For some reason, Su Wanying sensed that her sister was very sad at that moment.

Did I say something that hurt her?

Su Wanying's eyes flickered, but she still advised, "Sister, although the Emperor is a bit fierce, he is still very good to you."

"If you are all well, and Yan-ge is well, your second uncle will be very happy."

Su Wanwan wiped her eyes and laughed, "You little rascal, you're not even married yet, how would you know what 'good' means?"

Hearing the unmistakable nasal tone in her voice, Su Wanying's eyes also reddened.

"Sister, I just want you to be well."

"Mm." Su Wanwan responded softly, her eyes gentle. "Since you're going back, you should leave sooner rather than later."

In the days that followed, Su Wanwan was busy stabilizing the situation and dealing with memorials to the emperor.

Dealing with memorials to the emperor is really tiring.

Many matters still require consultation with court officials.

She was already feeling the strain after just two days of work.

Fortunately, good news came from Xiao Bin's side.

Xiao Bin woke up.

Su Wanwan was too busy to go to the Su family home, but news came from Xiaoyuan.

Lu Xingjian requested to see Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan took several memorials to Xiaoyuan.

After a few days of rest, Lu Xingjian's complexion improved considerably.

This contrasts sharply with Su Wanwan's haggard appearance.

"How did you get yourself into this state?" Lu Xingjian frowned, but did not speak ill of him.

Su Wanwan felt like she had staged a fake coup.

What do you want from me?

Lu Xingjian scratched his head.

His gaze swept over her.

That look in his eyes was blatant and lewd.

Su Wanwan laughed in exasperation, "Missing women?"

Lu Xingjian stopped pretending and came over to hug her, burying his face in her neck and taking a deep sniff.

"You've locked me up here, you can't just make me a monk, can you?"

Su Wanwan stood still and didn't push him away. "Send over a few beauties?"

“No need,” Lu Xingjian picked her up and walked towards the bedroom. “You can come a few more times.”

"How about we sleep here every night?"

Su Wanwan: "..."

This time, the disturbance was particularly severe.

When it was over, Su Wanwan was so tired that she couldn't even lift her fingers and fell asleep immediately.

Lu Xingjian kissed her back intermittently, seemingly lost in thought.

"Wanwan, I'll give you anything you want."

"I'll give you my life, even if it costs me one."

"Just don't leave me."

Su Wanwan struggled to open her eyes, her gaze slowly focusing on his face.

Her voice was sleepy, "If I take your life and then get together with someone else, won't you regret it?"

Lu Xingjian kissed the back of her hand, "Don't make a scene at my grave, I'll pretend I don't know anything."

Su Wanwan choked for a moment.

Raise your hand and hit him.

By sheer bad luck, it hit him right in the face.
