If this young man has feelings for the Emperor and has specially entered the palace to curry favor with him, he... would also be willing to bless the Emperor.
It's no wonder Yin Er thought this way; he had never seen a man dressed like Mu Feng. Ordinary men, no matter how gorgeous their clothes, would only have bright colors and some embroidered patterns. Where else would someone be adorned with jingling jewels like him? Only the young men of this world would dress like that.
If Mu Feng knew that in order to show his respect, he had dressed up in his finest collection of jewels and fine clothes to give blessings to Long Xunyin and his wife, one of them dared not look at him for fear of blinding the dragon's eyes, and the other had even changed his gender, he wondered what he would think.
#So annoyed, but I still have to smile#
#You vulgar people who don't know how to appreciate beauty#
Fortunately, even though Mu Feng was very clever, she couldn't have guessed that Yin Er's imagination was so wild.
Seeing that Yin Er was indifferent and inexplicably restrained, and that Long Xun didn't seem to notice anything amiss, he sighed inwardly, wondering how long it had been and that his friend was still acting so wooden-headed.
Mu Feng smiled calmly and stepped forward, placing the tray in her hands on the corner of the couch. She cupped her hands in greeting to Yin Er and said, "When I arrived earlier, you were asleep, so I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Mu Feng, a good friend of A Xun. I came to congratulate him on finding a lover and having a child."
Yin Er had been ordered by Long Xun not to get out of bed, so he simply bowed respectfully in bed and said in a deep voice, "I am Yin Er, a guard of His Majesty."
"This is a big problem... Yin Er only admits to being a bodyguard in front of outsiders, but avoids talking about my lover at all... I need to find a way to force him to tell the truth so I can then use that to guide him." Mu Feng glanced at Long Xun almost imperceptibly, gently scratched the side of her face with her index finger, and smiled even more gently.
Mu Feng's mind raced. After Yin Er finished speaking, she deliberately suppressed her smile, turned around and kicked Long Xun's leg, leaving a dusty footprint on the hem of his black imperial robe. This time, Mu Feng had learned her lesson. Before kicking, she slightly spread her tail feathers to support herself on the ground, and was finally not thrown off by the recoil.
"Ah Xun! Could it be that... becoming emperor has taught you to use your power to oppress others? I didn't know you were such a tyrant!" Mu Feng said, feigning heartache.
Ever since he found a clone of the system As to play the villain in the small world, he can now act without laughing!
Long Xun was bewildered by the inexplicable kick. Before he could even ask Mu Feng what was wrong, he was stunned by Mu Feng's words and could only stare blankly at his friend with a simple and innocent expression.
Mu Feng didn't care about his performance at all, and launched into a tirade of accusations. Long Xun tried to interrupt him several times, but couldn't find a moment to catch his breath. He could only stand there silently listening to his rambling, feeling utterly hopeless and aggrieved. So it's no wonder he wasn't happy to see Mu Feng. A quiet person like him, when faced with a chatterbox like Mu Feng who became more talkative the closer they got, it was a recipe for mutual torment and harm. He might be a bit bloodthirsty, but wasn't it because some people were hopelessly awful? Rather than hoping they could change, it was better to hope they could be taught a lesson in their next life.
But he absolutely did nothing else. How could he bear to do anything like coercion or confinement to Yin Er? Although he did have the intention of not letting Yin Er go because Yin Er didn't understand him... that was only because Yin Er was like that back then, and he couldn't rest easy about him at all!
He couldn't find a way to interject, but Yin Er on the other end never expected that his words would cause the Emperor to be scolded like this by this guy. Yin Er immediately felt sorry for his Emperor.
“Mr. Mu!” Yin Er sat up straight, his hands bracing against the side of the bed. His dark eyes stared directly at Mu Feng. He bit his lip, mustered his courage, and whispered, “Please, please don’t speak of His Majesty like that… It is truly me… I love His Majesty… His Majesty has never forced me…”
Mu Feng had been waiting for him to speak. She glanced at Long Xun, who was surprised and delighted to receive such frankness from Yin Er, and turned around to say, "Oh? But you are pregnant now, yet you still have no official rank and are only serving as a guard by A Xun's side."
"...It was Yin Er... who did not want to tarnish His Majesty's reputation... A man of His Majesty's stature should naturally win the hearts of all the beauties in the world... Yin Er is ugly and ashamed to be seen by others..."
'...Where is it ugly...'
Mu Feng was speechless, but he finally understood that Yin Er was feeling inferior. He sent a telepathic message to Long Xun, telling him to leave first. His feigned serious expression softened, revealing a smile, and he said gently, "Yin Er, would you be willing to listen to me?"
Yin Er kept a straight face, unwilling to show vulnerability in front of others, and looked up at him.
Mu Feng bent down slightly and gently stroked the top of his head, saying softly, "Yin Er, do you not believe that A Xun is sincere towards you?"
"That's not the case." The emperor has treated him the same way all these years. If he were to become suspicious again, wouldn't he be ungrateful?
"So...you think he's blind and incompetent, unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
"How could that be?" His emperor could discern a person's heart with just one glance. No matter how glamorous a person appeared on the surface, their inner nature could be seen clearly. How could he be blind to their true intentions?
"Then why are you feeling inferior for other reasons?" Mu Feng comforted him, "A-Xun truly loves you and treats you well. If you didn't love him, I wouldn't say anything. But you do have feelings for him, so why say such hurtful things to him? Whether you're beautiful or not, as long as A-Xun thinks you're beautiful, that's enough. Why do you care what others think? Do you really think A-Xun will change her mind because of what others say?"
"..." Yin Er remained silent. He knew just how willful and autocratic the emperor was; the reputation of a tyrant was not just a saying.
Mu Feng scratched the side of her face with her index finger, noticing his growing hesitation. She softened her expression and finally said, "If you still can't listen to what I'm saying, then listen to what your heart is saying."
What did his heart say?
He wanted to be with the Emperor.
He didn't want anyone else to be on the Emperor's side.
He wanted to possess the Emperor's tenderness forever.
He knew that His Majesty... no, Ah, Ah Xun would only smile at him, and he wanted it to always be like that.
He is very greedy.
He is not generous at all.
But is it really possible?
...He said it was okay, he is Ah Xun's friend, and he approved of him.
The suppressed voices within were brought forth, and when the assassin lowered his eyes and calmed his mind, finally listening to these voices that he had deliberately ignored, they suddenly exploded.
I am willing to be the queen.
I want to be with you.
I do, I do, I do.
I'm willing to do anything you say, and I'm willing to give you anything.
I want to be with you, never to be apart, forever and ever, for all eternity.
...
The handsome man sitting quietly on the dragon bed raised his head, his dark eyes gleaming with an undeniable light, and solemnly said, "I am devoted to Your Majesty, and I wish to become your wife."
Mu Feng laughed heartily, patted his shoulder lightly, and sighed approvingly, "...Good boy."
