"Qianqian, will you promise me?" Mu Beichen let her sit on his lap, their fingers intertwined, and slowly brought his face close to her ear to whisper his heartfelt words: "No matter what happens in the future, you must not be angry with me, and you must not abandon me. Achen cannot accept the existence of you. My heart has long been filled with you. As long as I live, my love for you will never change."
His tone was gentle yet urgent, as if he wanted to pour out all the words in his heart.
But... no.
If she knew that Su Ruan was still safe and sound in the palace, she would definitely not be able to accept this reality, at least not at this time. She needed Su Ruan's blood to survive, and he himself needed her to live even more.
On the way back to the palace, Yu Qianqian's chaotic thoughts remained unsettled for a long time. Despite Mu Beichen holding her tightly in his arms, no matter how loud the voices outside were, Mu Beichen did not let her go for a moment. His soft lips kissed her from the strands of her hair to her ears and cheeks, again and again, without any sign of fatigue.
But she was thinking about the assassin's threats to Mu Beichen. Unexpected scenes surged through her mind like waves. Her intuition kept telling her that this was not a baseless rumor. At this moment, she was eagerly anticipating the truth to come to light, yet she was also extremely afraid that such a thing would happen to her.
As people watched the emperor's imperial carriage pass by, a clamor like bees buzzing through the air erupted from both sides of the long street. At that moment, the emperor in everyone's eyes was majestic and awe-inspiring, like a god. Although he did not show his face, he radiated an invisible, wrathful light.
Amidst the clamor, the imperial carriage suddenly began to sway violently from side to side. Through the imperial curtain, a series of shrill female shouts rang out: "Mu Beichen! If you dare to lay a hand on me again, I'm going to get angry!"
Inside the dragon carriage, Yu Qianqian was pinned to a corner by Mu Beichen's powerful arm. The close contact and the scorching heat ravaged her soft body. She wanted to break free from his confinement, but she had no strength to resist.
Fo Ran bit her lower lip and glared at him. Yu Qianqian was immediately enraged by the greedy ghost in front of her. She shouted angrily, "Look at yourself! In front of everyone, everyone is watching what we say and do. Even if you are shameless and shameless, I can't afford to lose face with you!"
Mu Beichen looked down at Yu Qianqian's furious face. Her long, slightly upturned eyelashes trembled slightly as they brushed against his gaze. Instantly, the smile on his handsome face became even more unrestrained. He was suddenly very pleased with how weak and helpless she looked in front of him.
"Little Qian'er, don't be impatient. If anyone should be in a hurry, it should be me." He leaned on his elbow and looked at Yu Qianqian with a leisurely smile, saying, "After all, you've been ignoring me for so many days. I've been feeling empty for a long time."
His enchanting peach blossom eyes were fixed on Yu Qianqian's face, scrutinizing her without moving closer or back. His gentle tone was mixed with a hint of mockery, but as her expression slowly turned cold, even his right hand, which was suspended in mid-air, immediately froze.
Although Yu Qianqian didn't say a word at this moment, her extremely rare cold and stern expression was enough to send chills down one's spine.
Unbeknownst to him, Mu Beichen also fell silent, his gaze becoming heavy as he carefully looked at the woman so close to him. His eyes were sharp and piercing, and every glance he gave carried an intense murderous aura.
