Yuqing Palace.
Mi Shan never expected that...
Bai Lingyu changed her attitude from yesterday.
Even though he harbored resentment towards her, he suppressed it with all his might.
He taught her a dance with a variety of styles and strange movements.
"I promised Your Highness that I would not make things difficult for you again."
This dance is meant to highlight you.
I am nothing more than your foil.
You must practice diligently, lest all my efforts be in vain.
"I must win the emperor's heart on the day of the Spring Flower Banquet."
Mi Shan didn't answer, she just kept practicing diligently.
She already possessed a Western Regions charm, so this dance was perfect for her.
I took off my shoes and stepped barefoot onto the clean floor.
Clouds and mist, water sleeves swaying,
The woman's waist was supple.
Fingers bloom,
Flowers and pipa appear out of nowhere, making it truly resemble a captivating magic show.
Fortunately, there was an inextinguishable flame, and I practiced like this for a long time without feeling cold.
Consort Yu's gaze gradually turned to amazement, following the flickering flames around her waist.
"So beautiful."
"He gave it to you?"
In a flash, he tried to snatch it away, but his fingers were burned and smoking, almost turning back into fox claws.
A fleeting hint of jealousy crossed his eyes.
"It was also cursed."
You can touch it, but if you try to forcibly remove it, you will get burned.
"He treats you so well."
In Bai Lingyu's eyes, it was hard to tell whether it was envy or melancholy.
"You can go now, you've practiced enough for today."
Mi Shan stopped what she was doing and left.
Upon reaching the courtyard, I saw a group of palace maids gathered in the sunlight.
It is woven into a brocade cloth that is glittering with gold and studded with gemstones.
"Don't look at anything!"
"This is a brocade garment secretly made by the Imperial Concubine. Anyone who dares to leak it out will die!"
"It was Consort Mi Hui... Please, look around as you like..."
The little eunuch quickly changed his expression.
Mi Shan withdrew her gaze.
Chao walked out.
-
That night.
Mi Shan went to administer acupuncture to the emperor.
But he was sitting solemnly, having taken off his shirt, waiting on the bed.
He stared at the torch hanging at her waist.
He narrowed his cold eyes and said in a chilling voice:
Where did you get it?
"Your Majesty, it was a gift from the Crown Prince."
Mi Shan answered truthfully.
The Emperor's questioning must mean that an investigation has been conducted.
There's no point in her lying; it will only arouse suspicion.
Why am I giving this to you?
Li Shengyuan's voice grew even deeper.
"After I fell into the water, I caught a cold that has not healed."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince believed it was his fault for not being able to stop the concubine from jumping into the water that day.
"I just subdued the fire qilin and retrieved this fire seed."
Mi Shan lowered her eyes and spoke softly.
"Thanks to this inextinguishable flame, the chill was dispelled and my body recovered."
"I see." Li Shengyuan sneered. "He does care about women for me, though."
"Your Majesty... are you angry?"
"I also heard that on the day of the audition, he took you into the physical examination room. Did he do anything to you?"
Did I touch you?
Did I touch you... anywhere I shouldn't have?
Li Shengyuan's voice grew increasingly strained, and his breathing became erratic.
Before Mi Shan could answer,
They pulled her up from the ground.
He was pressed down onto the large bed.
"To be honest, I already favored Consort Murong last night, breaking my vow."
"Let's put aside the idea of using abstinence to cure the disease for now."
"Not tonight..."
Mi Shan was startled: "Your Majesty, you said you wouldn't force me! Do you doubt my feelings for you? I am devoted to Your Majesty... I have no other intentions!"
I can't explain why.
She just resisted.
Even if this is a wise move,
Even Li Changyu wanted her to do that.
However, the thought of the emperor having been with countless women made him hesitate.
I had just spent time with Murong Wan last night.
She felt uncomfortable.
Most importantly, she had no feelings for this man.
"Consort Mi Hui, you have rejected me time and time again."
I promised. I wouldn't touch you.
But you've grown too close to the Crown Prince; have you ever considered my worth?
"Doesn't the Emperor also change women every single day?"
He said he wanted my heart.
In reality, he was quickly seduced by another woman.
"I am the emperor. My favor must be bestowed equally upon all..."
Li Shengyuan paused, his words sharp.
"Why should I explain to you!"
"You intend to defy the imperial decree?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not. Please come down."
Mi Shan lay flat on the bed, her beautiful face devoid of any emotion.
Li Shengyuan buried his face in her collar.
His large hands caressed almost her entire body.
They tore her clothes to shreds.
"The decision I regret most is letting the Crown Prince examine you!"
"Tell me, did he touch you or not?"
"here?"
"Still in this place."
"Your Majesty, if you want to come, then come. Don't ask so many questions." Mi Shan frowned, her cheeks flushing.
"I'm asking you a question!"
"You think you're too old and lonely, and not as young as the Crown Prince, is that it?"
"Has she been secretly with the Crown Prince all along...?"
wrong.
Or is it complete?
Li Shengyuan paused. Seeing Mi Shan's face flushed red, she silently persisted.
There was clearly no joy in it.
Suddenly I felt really bored.
He let go of her hand and sat up.
"You...you didn't have sex with him?"
"Your Majesty did not do it. I do not know where Your Majesty heard the false accusation."
Mi Shan's eyes were filled with tears.
Curled up at the head of the bed.
It was exceptionally poignant and pitiful.
