After entering the house, Gu Xueting sat down on the couch and the palace maid served him tea.

"Come to me." He extended his hand to Shen Yizhizi, who was standing below with his head lowered.

Shen Yizhi moved over slowly, and when she was one step away from him, Gu Xueting couldn't help it and pulled her over and held her in his arms.

"Your Majesty!" Shen Yizi was scared to death. He wanted to push but didn't dare to.

Gu Xueting saw that her face turned pale and he felt angry. Of course, he was not angry with her, but with his former self.

"I was just teasing you, why are you so scared?" He pinched her cute earlobe and chuckled.

Afraid of frightening her, he finally let her go.

Shen Yizhi almost couldn't wait to get out of his arms and stood three steps away from him.

Seeing how she was avoiding him, Gu Xueting felt angry and the pressure around him became more and more oppressive.

Shen Yizi's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, he had shown it too obviously.

But to her surprise, the tyrant did nothing this time and left without saying a word.

She stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, my heart began to tighten again. The tyrant was obviously angry just now, but he didn't do anything. Was he planning on doing something big?

Shen Yizi felt uneasy for a long time, but she didn't see the tyrant take any action. So she just gave up and comforted herself. Forget it, she could live one more day at a time. Why think so much?

So she ate, drank and slept, trying to enjoy herself to the fullest before her life was taken away.

Unexpectedly, the tyrant came again the next day.

Day 3, Day 4…

Shen Yizhi was furious in his heart. What on earth did the tyrant want? It was abominable to cut the meat with such a slow knife!

Gu Xueting would sit with Shen Yizi for a while every day. He didn't do anything, just look at her and talk to her. At most, he would ask her to play chess with him or take a walk.

After this went on for a month, Shen Yizi's attitude towards him really softened a lot, and he no longer avoided him as much as he did at the beginning.

On the other hand, he is also trying his best to change the impression of himself in other people's minds.

Although he doesn't care, other people's opinions of him also greatly affect Zhizhi's opinion of him, so he has to care.

After a month of boiling the frog in warm water, Gu Xueting felt that it was time to move on to the next step.

"Zhizhi, I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday and had a great chat with my father-in-law. He even invited me to have dinner with him."

After finishing their meal, Gu Xueting took Shen Yizhi to the garden outside to take a walk to help digest the food. He seemed to be casually chatting.

The title "father-in-law" really scared Shen Yizhi.

Did this tyrant get kicked in the head by a donkey? But after a month of getting along with him, she realized that although his temper had improved a lot, no, he was much more reserved and introverted, but he was still a person who did what he wanted, and no one could change what he had decided.

Even if she pointed out that this was inappropriate, he would probably not change his mind. In that case, why did she bring it up and upset him? He could call her whatever he wanted.

"Oh, really?" Shen Yizhi responded.

Although her attitude was not very enthusiastic, Gu Xueting did not care and continued, "I saw that my mother-in-law looked worried. After asking, I learned that she was worried about your life in the palace, so she allowed her to come to the palace to see you tomorrow. Are you happy, Zhizhi?"

Shen Yizi was stunned. He allowed his mother to come to the palace to see her?

Then came great joy, "Happy! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A huge smile appeared on her face. This smile was different from the half-hearted smile she had put on to deal with him before. It was a smile that came from the heart.

Gu Xueting looked at her and felt that the efforts of the past month had finally paid off. He put his palm on her cheek and gently rubbed it with his fingertips. "Zhizhi's gratitude, is it just verbal?"

The Divine Emperor Pearl very cooperatively issued a task at this time: "Random task: Kiss the emperor. Task completed: reward: a bottle of hair growth cream. Task failed: no punishment."

Because of its previous mistakes, it doesn't dare to set penalties now.

Shen Yizhi's forehead slid down a few black lines. This system is actually from the same family as Tyrant, right? Allowing him to hold her hand was already the limit. How could she take the initiative to kiss him?

What's the difference between this and plucking hair from a tiger's butt? System: "Host, you are bald now. Your mother will attack you tomorrow. Do you want her to see you like this?"

The system's words were like a knife stabbing into Shen Yizi's heart.

She certainly didn't want that! Otherwise, her mother would imagine how miserable her life was in the palace.

Gu Xueting was looking down at her with a burning gaze.

Shen Yizhi gritted his teeth, lowered his eyes and acted shy, "How do you want me to thank you?"

Gu Xueting had previously expressed that he didn't want her to address him as a concubine and use honorifics. She didn't have much respect for him, so she just went along with it.

Gu Xueting leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Why is Zhizhi asking about me? Shouldn't you figure it out yourself?"

Shen Yizhi got goose bumps from the hot air he exhaled, and turned his head slightly, "Okay, then close your eyes."

Gu Xueting curled the corners of his lips slightly and closed his eyes obediently.

Shen Yizhi looked at the handsome face so close to him, leaned over and touched his face lightly, then quickly stepped back, "Okay."

Divine Emperor Pearl: "Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The mission reward has been placed in your system space and can be checked and used at any time. I hope the host will continue to work hard and take down the emperor as soon as possible!"

Shen Yizi thought it was nothing, but when he heard it say that, his face turned red.

When Gu Xueting opened his eyes, he saw a blushing face, and his eyes suddenly became much darker.

Her light kiss just now was completely incapable of quenching his thirst. He wanted to pull her into his arms and entangle herself with her deeply, but he was afraid of scaring her, so he had to suppress this thought.

No rush, she will be his sooner or later.

Just like in the previous world, she would eventually be willing to be intimate with him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Su requests to see you." Gu Xueting's personal eunuch, the chief eunuch Zhu Xiu, came over and said.

Gu Xueting's cold eyes swept across Eunuch Zhu, "Let him wait."

He took Shen Yizhi back to Yuxiu Palace, touched her bald head, and then left.

Shen Yizi was initially upset and angry about his behavior, but after being touched so many times, she had gotten used to it.

"I want to sleep for a while, Bichan, you stay outside and don't let anyone come in to disturb me." Shen Yizi ordered.

"Yes, your majesty." Bichan bowed and replied.
