As the sun set, the moon quietly climbed to the treetops, its cool light streaming through the window, silently carrying a chill that sent shivers down one's spine.
Suddenly, with a creak, the door was gently pushed open from the outside, and a tall figure was clearly reflected in the mirror.
The Hall of Mental Cultivation, the most heavily guarded and most prestigious place in the world, was eerily quiet, as if no one was there.
The only person who can silence everyone and act as if they're in an empty place is the most powerful person in the world.
Outside the palace gate, Ye Zhi, who had been drugged at some point, was fast asleep. The palace servants, quite perceptively, draped a blanket over her.
Poor Yeats probably doesn't know that the palace servants in his palace have long been replaced by the emperor's people!
Inside the house, a chilling royal secret is unfolding...
He was clearly an emperor who controlled the life and death of all people, and he should have possessed an aura of dominance that looked down on everything. Yet, at this moment, his eyes revealed the pain of unrequited love, as well as a deep infatuation and a fervent gaze.
“Xi’er...”
Sheng Jin's slender fingertips gently traced the girl's lips; the soft touch sent a shiver down his spine the moment they touched her.
"Why can't you accept me?"
He muttered to himself, his tone clearly revealing a deep sense of resentment, even tinged with a hint of despair.
Love arises without warning. Although the two of them have no unforgettable memories, the person in front of him always haunts his dreams and stirs up the deepest, most hidden desires in his heart.
Every night, his mind would be filled with that beautiful figure and the woman's stunning face, especially tonight—
After finishing her official duties, Sheng Jin closed her eyes to rest, and then she thought about what had happened that day: that fragrant kiss, those exceptionally soft lips, and that slender figure...
This person always tormented him, keeping him awake at night, making him unable to love but unable to have, and unable to hate.
Xi'er...
Sheng Jin wanted her so badly, his desire for her was like a madman's, like a poison that he could never break free from once he was hooked, because to retreat would be like being devoured by a thousand ants.
Unable to suppress his restless desire any longer, he came over.
Seeing the person sleeping soundly in front of him, Sheng Jin finally felt that empty space in his heart was filled.
He let out a long sigh of relief, but for some reason, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart, an unbearable ache.
Fine, since I can't let go, then I'll keep that person in front of me and never let go again.
Sheng Jin was not an impulsive person; otherwise, he wouldn't have given the Crown Prince such a long buffer period, because he himself had some hesitation.
But after hundreds of days and nights of torment, Sheng Jin finally turned to the dark side and decided to trap the person regardless of the consequences!
As Sheng Jin thought this, he paused in his actions, then gently touched the woman's body. He clearly felt that the woman's breathing became more even before he proceeded.
What are you going to do?
The next moment, Sheng Jin picked the person up horizontally and held them tightly in his arms.
Looking at the sleeping little face in his arms, he felt a deep sense of satisfaction, as if the empty space in his heart had finally been filled.
Yes, it should have been done a long time ago!
He should have taken this step a long time ago!
