Yu Qianqian raised her eyes, not even glancing at Mu Beichen, and suddenly raised her hand horizontally, stuffing the entire string of candied hawthorns into her mouth.
Her cheeks were stuffed full and round.
She stared intently at Mu Beichen across from her, and swallowed several crystal-clear sweet beads in quick succession. However, because she swallowed them too quickly, several candied hawthorns ended up stuck in her throat, making her eyes roll back in frustration and her gaze become blank.
Yu Qianqian felt like she was about to choke on the candied hawthorn and stop breathing. She wanted to speak but couldn't utter a single word. Her mouth and throat were completely stuffed, and she felt like she was about to suffocate.
Seeing her pale face and lying stiffly on the ground, Mu Beichen quickly helped her up, patting his chest repeatedly. He anxiously leaned close to her and called out, "Little Qian'er, it's all my fault. I've ruined you with my own hands... I've decided to remain chaste for you and live a lonely life until the end. Let's meet again in the next life!"
"..."
After being shaken violently by Mu Beichen, Yu Qianqian felt her internal organs churning. She stared intently at the man in front of her, unable to figure out what was wrong with her.
He felt a few candied hawthorns stuck in his throat and started gagging. Suddenly, the candied hawthorns burst out of his mouth and sprayed all over Mu Beichen's face!
Yu Qianqian widened her pupils to look at Mu Beichen. His beautiful face was evenly covered with a layer of fine, crumbly residue, and a few whole candied hawthorns hung on the tip of his nose and forehead.
At this moment, she stared intently, unable to discern the exact nature of his expression, yet she sensed an extremely intense murderous aura surging within Mu Beichen.
Without saying a word, Yu Qianqian forcibly grabbed Mu Beichen's sleeve and roughly rubbed and scrubbed his face. After a short while, she clearly saw the emperor's angry glare and sharp, murderous gaze.
Mu Beichen was thoroughly exhausted tonight. Yu Qianqian vomited all over his face for no reason, and also smeared sticky food residue on his clothes. At this moment, his dignity as the emperor was shattered in front of a woman, and his prestige and masculinity were gone.
He gripped Yu Qianqian's shoulders tightly, his suppressed anger making his lips tremble. He opened his mouth, and a cold, harsh voice roared out, "Yu Qianqian! I will punish you..."
"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. After all, they didn't mean to insult you." Yu Qianqian quickly covered his mouth with both hands. "At worst, you can insult them back next time..." She had only said half of her sentence when she was suddenly stopped by a string of candied hawthorns. She stared at Mu Beichen's complicated gaze and unconsciously shut her mouth and fell silent.
"Yu Qianqian, it's all because I spoiled you too much in the past, which has led to you becoming increasingly arrogant and conceited." Mu Beichen said, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to leave Fengyi Palace even a step!"
Mu Beichen hoisted Yu Qianqian onto his shoulder and, with a whooshing sound, leaped down from the flying tower in an instant. Then, with a dark face, he gave an order to the guards: "Guards! Take the Empress back to Fengyi Palace. From this moment on, without my permission, no one is allowed to enter or leave Fengyi Palace!"
Yu Qianqian watched helplessly as over a hundred guards surrounded her. Only then did she realize that things were getting increasingly serious. She used all her strength to grab Mu Beichen's sleeve and rolled on the ground begging for mercy: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please calm down! I know I was wrong, I don't want to be imprisoned..."
She tilted her head slightly and glanced around furtively. The guards stood in a row in front of her, motionless and expressionless, while Mu Beichen's eggplant-shaped face grew increasingly dark. This scene inexplicably filled her with awe.
