Actually, Rong Shang didn't want to do anything.
She's just a little tired today and wants to lie down and rest.
But Hua Changge's persistence reminded her of the scene two or three hours earlier when he almost broke off the engagement and tried to send them back to Yun Kingdom.
He was so angry that he couldn't help but want to deflate his arrogance and let him experience what defeat is.
But when compared to this hairpin, Hua Changge was terrified.
The icy gaze finally broke through, and Hua Changge's face showed panic, her emotions quite agitated. "No, I won't force you. I will never force you to do something you don't want to do."
Perhaps he owed her something in his past life.
His deep gaze was fixed on the hairpin pressed against her neck. Hua Changge felt both frustrated and helpless. "Put it down. Put down that hairpin."
The majesty and domineering presence he once exuded in the imperial court vanished entirely before this woman, leaving Hua Changge with an unbearable bitterness in his heart.
When did Hua Changge have to force himself on a woman if he wanted her?
She couldn't help but want to laugh, but her eyes were covered with a layer of cold frost. At this moment, Rong Shang looked at Hua Changge, who was not far from her, and said, "You step back now!"
"If you dare to take a step forward, I'll kill myself right now."
You should know that in the past, if anyone had dared to speak to the emperor of the empire in such a disrespectful tone, they would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago.
But now, Rong Chang has the right to be willful.
"Alright, I'll step back now. Don't do anything rash!"
At some point, he even dropped the self-reference of "this king" in front of her, communicating directly with "I" and "you".
Just to bring them one step closer to each other.
Inside Yunhe Palace, the candlesticks around the room were already lit with red candlelight.
Amidst the flickering light and shadow, Hua Changge nervously stared at the hairpin in her hand while taking a few steps back.
"lay down!"
If Hua Changge weren't afraid that she would actually do it, she would have really wanted to run over and snatch the thing from her hand.
That's too dangerous.
It seems I need to keep her away from dangerous things from now on.
Having heard his thoughts, Rong Shang raised an eyebrow, her eyes showing a hint of interest.
Is this reasonable?
They wouldn't even let her use a hairpin.
However, since he had already stepped back, Rong Chang symbolically moved the hairpin away by an inch or two.
He got so hooked on the role that he couldn't stop.
“Turn around now.”
She continued to give him orders.
Hua Changge seemed to have some kind of leverage over him, and he listened to whatever she said.
It looked just like a loyal dog.
Such a stark contrast is quite adorable.
At this moment, he hummed in agreement, then turned around while observing her.
A short while later, the man's deep, somewhat panicked voice came again, "I've done whatever you asked. Now listen to me and don't do anything so dangerous."
...
Tonight, Hua Changge was truly terrified by her.
So much so that when he was later expelled from Yunhe Palace by Rong Shang, he still summoned several palace maids inside.
He was afraid that Rong Shang might break her promise and do something to hurt him after he left.
*
As night deepened, the stars shone brightly, and a bright moon hung high in the night sky.
A gentle breeze occasionally drifted in through the half-open window.
After Hua Changge left, Yunhe Palace fell completely silent.
After throwing away her hairpin and changing into clean clothes, Rong Shang lazily lay down to rest.
They acted as if nothing had ever happened here from beginning to end.
Regarding this, the system, which witnessed the entire process, [...]
