Actually, Yu Qianqian didn't want to make herself look so disheveled. She had been exposed to the scorching sun for a long time not long ago, and her strength was almost exhausted. Now, even a little exertion made her body sway and wobble.
Why would Mu Beichen bring up such a nonsensical topic with her? Is he just bored and has nothing better to do?
But thinking about it carefully, this question is too puzzling. Who knows what he was asking about?
Thinking back on Mu Beichen's question, she banged her head hard, looking up at the roof with increasing frustration. For a moment, she really wanted to confront Mu Beichen directly. Rather than playing hide-and-seek with him, she would rather be honest. But if he found out that she had run away to catch him cheating, the consequences would be unimaginable, with all the old and new grievances combined.
Now, Mu Beichen is the ruler of a country and the ruler of the world. He holds imperial power and can take her life with just a word. Moreover, her beautiful face has not yet recovered, and she has not yet enjoyed the admiration and praise of the world. It would not be worth it for her to die like this.
After a long while, she still couldn't make up her mind. She pressed her fingertips against her chin, thinking carefully, and unconsciously stopped what she was doing. She didn't even realize when Mu Beichen had come closer.
As her delicate hand clutched a snow-white handkerchief, loosening and loosening it repeatedly until it slipped silently from her feet, it was as if a gentle breeze had brushed against her toes. This immediately drew her attention, and she saw a figure in a dark black robe covering most of her feet. He moved closer step by step, until finally, without a sound, he was right next to her, and their eyes met.
The sudden approach, the strong hints, and the burning gaze almost cornered her, leaving her with no choice but to surrender.
Yu Qianqian raised her dark, bright eyes and kept looking at Mu Beichen's face. At this moment, she couldn't help but tremble. Although there was no change in his expression, his cold and stern face always made people feel an extremely strong sense of pressure.
"Yu Qianqian!" A cold shout suddenly rang out above her head, startling Yu Qianqian. Startled, she flinched and knocked over a blue-and-white phoenix-tail vase from the bookshelf. It shattered on the floor with a crash, breaking into tiny silver particles that glittered in her eyes.
Still shaken, Yu Qianqian managed to escape before the man's fury erupted. She narrowly avoided Mu Beichen's encirclement, but unexpectedly, at that moment, an entire row of books behind her tumbled down from the bookshelf, piling up in the blink of an eye. She teetered precariously near the bookshelf, about to be crushed by the mountain of books and shelves. In desperation, she cried out to Mu Beichen for help: "Um...Your Majesty...Help...Help!"
However, upon hearing this, Mu Beichen, who was originally standing opposite Yu Qianqian, suddenly darted away like the wind, easily avoiding being implicated by someone.
"Shuashuashua..."
"Clang!"
The bookshelf, along with a row of rare books, tipped over and fell to the ground with a deafening crash. Everywhere you looked was a mess.
"That heartless emperor! Aaaaah!"
Yu Qianqian, on the other hand, missed her target and was buried deep in a mountain of books, with only her head sticking out. She looked at the emperor with helpless and pathetic eyes.
