-
Wrapped in that cotton quilt, it was sent into the emperor's bedroom.
Mi Shan was still somewhat uneasy.
He looked up and surveyed his surroundings.
The emperor's bedroom was originally like this: quiet and somewhat empty, with only one wall filled with rare and precious treasures from all over the world.
Yellow curtains fluttered beside the bed.
Suddenly, footsteps approached.
Mi Shan closed her eyes, mentally preparing herself so that she wouldn't show any resistance when she opened them and saw the emperor's old face.
Let the emperor see through the deception.
This would make it difficult for her to use her charm to seduce the emperor.
If you're going to do something, you have to do it perfectly. You have to make the emperor so captivated by her that there's a high chance of conceiving a royal heir.
But unexpectedly, the moment I opened my eyes...
What came into view was not an old figure, but a tall figure wearing a blue dragon iron mask.
"Who are you?"
Mi Shan asked instinctively, a hint of surprise flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.
Is the emperor really that young? He's over fifty, but he looks like he's only thirty, in the prime of his life.
He was exceptionally charming and had an imposing presence.
He was sturdy and tall.
"Jieyu, don't you recognize who I am? This is the emperor's palace. No one but the emperor dares to enter or leave at will."
"emperor?"
Mi Shan's heart skipped a beat.
His voice sounded authoritative and somewhat familiar, but there was no time to think about it further.
He quickly crawled out from under the covers and knelt down on the bed in a humble and obedient manner.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was blind and did not recognize you."
"It's alright. I don't blame you." Li Shengyuan looked down at her, raising his eyebrows slightly, feeling that she was very different from the one he had seen during the day.
During the day, the woman was aloof and arrogant, and her speech was quite haughty.
This is a stark contrast to her current docile demeanor.
Mi Shan.
Which one is the real you?
"Your Majesty, I thank you."
A barely perceptible dark glint flashed across Mi Shan's eyes, and when she stood up, her expression had already changed to one of alluring charm.
She reached out and touched the man's chest.
Her hand, adorned with nail polish, parted his shirt to reveal a large patch of skin scarred and bruised.
A slight hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Your Majesty, let me serve you."
She didn't know if what she was doing was right. She didn't have much experience in this area in her previous life. Zhang Jianyue only knew how to charge ahead recklessly and didn't understand romance.
She was drugged and taken to those men's beds, and when she woke up, she had no recollection of it.
But it is said that King Yuan is known for his lustful nature.
In bed, a woman taking the initiative to please a man is the most direct way to make him lose control.
While using all his skills,
Don't forget to put your hand on his pulse.
The familiar hollow pulse, so faint it was almost undetectable, became the sole criterion by which Mi Shan determined his identity—a pulse that only appears in people near death.
However, there's still one step to go.
She did not forget to examine Li Shengyuan's face with her own eyes to determine his illness.
"Your Majesty, why do you wear this cold mask? Why don't you let me take it off?"
Mi Shan deliberately used a soft, delicate voice.
"So as not to interfere with our private matter for a while, making it difficult for me to carry it out..."
Li Shengyuan's brows furrowed deeply.
This was completely different from what he had expected.
"stop!"
"Mi Jieyu, have you been possessed?"
"Huh?" Mi Shan was slightly stunned, stopped moving, and a look of surprise appeared on her fair and beautiful face. She had deliberately put on a bewitching makeup after taking a bath to cover up her pure and innocent look.
This made her seem even more unfamiliar to Li Shengyuan.
He knew all too well that this woman... clearly did not want to serve him in bed!
But why... does he disdain such insincere feelings?
"Jieyu, do you think I know nothing? You faked your wounds and slandered Yuyu, all because you didn't want to get into my bed!"
"And why now?"
He sneered, "What exactly do you intend to do?"
Mi Shan trembled, never expecting that he was not a tyrant.
He did not easily succumb to beauty.
His face paled slightly, and he was speechless.
"I……"
"You don't need to say anything more! Since Yu Yu isn't going to pursue the matter of the Jade Toad, I won't blame you either, and we'll let it go."
Mi Shan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty."
"But I also have some things to say beforehand."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Mi Shan lowered her head, reverting to her usual cold and reserved demeanor, but her chin was suddenly pinched hard.
Li Shengyuan lowered his head and coldly stared at her. Even under the mask, his distinct features revealed that he was extremely handsome and rugged.
Deep within his eyes lay an extreme blend of madness and languor.
Don't you want a lifelong, monogamous relationship, and a sincere heart?
There's no such thing as getting whatever you want in this world.
"Jieyu, I won't touch you. I want to play a game with you."
Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Mi Shan's heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful face instantly turned pale and bloodless.
The plan was nipped in the bud before it could be implemented.
What's wrong with King Yuan?
He summoned her to his bedchamber, but did not sleep with her.
This is unprecedented in the entire harem!
A hint of coldness flickered in Mi Shan's seemingly obedient eyes, but more than that, it was feigned respect: "Your Majesty, what game do you wish to play?"
"Sincerity for sincerity. Jieyu, I want your heart."
"Mi Shan cannot understand what His Majesty is saying."
