How many years has it been?
Murong Lie never felt that there was anything wrong with his body.
He knows he's actually normal, but he can't overcome his psychological barriers, so he'd rather not touch women.
Aside from his mother, whom he needed to respect, he completely ignored those who were not related to him by blood.
There isn't a single woman in this world that he finds attractive.
Therefore, in order to ensure his innocence, he would rather not touch a woman and would not entrust himself to anyone casually.
Who says men can't be germaphobes?
Murong Lie felt completely unfamiliar with this kind of thing.
Even if his body is perfectly normal, with psychological suppression, he's not interested in anyone, so how could he possibly...
So what exactly happened today?
"Who told you to look? Turn your back!"
Seeing that Jiang Tian was still staring intently, Murong Lie felt like he was on fire, and he even felt a strange sense of shame.
His expression was extremely unpleasant at that moment.
Because Murong Lie never imagined that one day, he would doze off in his study and cause such a thing.
Murong Lie looked around and found that besides him, only Jiang Tian was in the study.
His expression grew even colder: "Where are the others?"
Jiang Tian told him earnestly, "After you fell asleep, your reaction was abnormal. I was afraid you would embarrass yourself, so I had them leave first."
In the eyes of those palace maids and eunuchs, Jiang Tian was practically their mistress.
The Crown Prince didn't touch anyone else, but he specifically touched her. Isn't that enough to show how important she is?
Since that's the case, they have to listen to whatever Jiang Tian says.
She told them to leave, and they left.
Murong Lie's face turned ashen.
He knew that the entire Eastern Palace was poorly managed and in disarray, but he never expected that Jiang Tian could become a king like a monkey.
However, thinking back to the dream I just had, it's actually a good thing that no one else is around.
Murong Lie was in a very bad mood.
"What embarrassment? What did I just do?"
His tone was icy, and you could tell he was in a very bad mood.
Jiang Tian glanced at him and told him earnestly, "You... are..."
Murong Lie's brain automatically blocked out the words in the middle.
Impossible, how could that be?
Even when he was at the height of his youth, he never did this.
He doesn't even have a woman he likes, and he's already like that just because he had a dream?
"What else?"
Murong Lie gritted his teeth, looking as if he was about to collapse.
Jiang Tian shook her head: "Your face was very red at the time. I was afraid that others would see something they shouldn't have, so I chased them out."
That dream.
Murong Lie recalled for a moment.
He truly didn't know why.
Could a dream really have such strong side effects on him?
"Your Highness, do you need any help?"
Jiang Tian gave him a meaningful look, but her gaze remained fixed on that spot.
Murong Lie was about to grind his teeth to powder.
After his rebirth, he never encountered any major trouble.
Everyone has died once, so they should have learned something.
But he never expected that a dream would almost make him lose face.
From this perspective, Jiang Tian was right to drive everyone away.
He couldn't let others see his pathetic state.
"No need, you can leave."
Murong Lie's tone remained cold.
Jiang Tian visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, this servant will take her leave now."
Seeing that she was overjoyed, Murong Lie's already unhappy mood instantly worsened.
His unpredictable temperament was already known to everyone in the Eastern Palace.
Therefore, if he lashes out at others, they can only endure it.
Moreover, it was only natural for him to vent his anger on Jiang Tian.
He remembers clearly who harmed him in his past life.
He not only didn't punish this palace maid in his life, but also protected her several times. She deserves to bear his wrath.
"Wait a minute."
After hearing just a few words, Jiang Tian stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked somewhat dejected.
Seeing her disappointed expression, Murong Lie felt inexplicably better.
"Your Highness, is there anything else you wish to instruct me to do?"
Jiang Tian asked cautiously.
"You said you'd help me, but how would you help?"
Jiang Tian seemed stumped by his question. She didn't reply, but continued to carefully observe Murong Lie.
"Just say it, I'm telling you to."
"Your Highness, I am your bedchamber maid, and I have been trained in various etiquettes. I do have a few solutions; do you really want to hear them?"
Murong Lie's expression was somewhat unnatural.
He had no interest in matters of men and women, so he threw all those who were supposed to be enlightened out of the palace. He had no idea what they would learn.
Curiosity compelled him to speak: "Tell me about it, I'm listening."
Jiang Tian's face remained expressionless, but her words made Murong Lie's eyes widen in surprise.
He heard half of it, but finally couldn't take it anymore: "Shut up!"
Jiang Tian was incredibly obedient. When he told her to shut up, she obediently shut her mouth and didn't say anything more.
Beads of sweat appeared on Murong Lie's forehead. He said somewhat irritably, "Get out!"
"Yes, Your Highness. I am right outside the door. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."
Murong Lie doesn't need her.
He wouldn't call out to her just by looking at her expressionless face.
Some things you can learn on your own.
Murong Lie solved the problem himself without asking anyone for help.
But the dream also made him feel upset for several days.
He had no idea who the woman in his dream was. If he knew where she was, he would definitely kill her!
Gu Qinyao was unaware that the unfolding events had caused Murong Lie's mindset to become strangely distorted.
She thought she would proceed gradually, letting Murong Lie dream about her once a week. Once he developed feelings for the woman in his dreams, she could then appear before him, and perhaps the tragedy of her previous life could be avoided.
[In the original storyline, Murong Lie dies soon; he'll be poisoned by the palace maids around him. Did he die in the same way in his previous life?]
Gu Qinyao is browsing the entire storyline.
Yes, because you restarted this world to complete the mission, he was reborn a year in the past and hasn't died from the poison yet. You must seize the opportunity within this year to successfully win him over; his death will be the key to your success.
Gu Qinyao smiled slightly.
Her overall strategy was quite simple.
It's nothing more than seducing Murong Lie, making him fall in love with her, so that Gu Qinyao will get pregnant with his child, and he can die in peace.
She will become Empress Dowager, and her child will inherit the throne.
The problem is, we made a mistake in the very first step.
Gu Qinyao didn't know why Murong Lie had no good feelings towards her at all.
Those cheat codes were supposed to be invincible, but they only worked on Murong Lie intermittently. He would suddenly wake up and suddenly become irritable. Gu Qinyao felt like she was dealing with a tyrannical dragon.
