Chapter 55 The Paranoid Emperor's Bird in His Palm 27



Day after day, Ruan Mian was confined to the emperor's bedroom.

The girl's black hair grew longer and longer, draping over her snow-white shoulders. Her eyes were clear and bright, without any dust on them.

Her snow-white skin and red lips give her a kind of morbidly fragile yet enchanting beauty that captivates the mind.

The traces on the girl's tender skin have not faded yet, and new ones have been added.

Her well-proportioned body exuded a sweet scent similar to that of ripe strawberries.

Lou Che has been frowning more often recently.

It seems that because Mobei has gathered its strength again and provoked a war on the border, the people are suffering terribly.

There were piles of memorials on the table, and a rare look of fatigue appeared on the handsome face of the young king.

Ruan Mian rarely appeared, and after thinking about it, his clever little head decided not to disturb him. It was rare for him to have free time to check the progress of his task.

It has stopped at 70% and has not moved for a long time. What should I do?

If she fails in this mission again, it will be difficult for her to accumulate 500 points, and she will die in pain like in the previous world.

Late at night, Imperial Garden.

Lou Che's eyes were filled with countless empty white jade wine jugs. The drunkenness could not hide his still-beating heartbeat, and he had not yet recovered from the dream he had just had.

Just a few minutes ago, the man fell into the recurring nightmare again. He simply couldn't believe why he saw that scene.

The familiar girl’s face is still in front of me, but the environment is unfamiliar.

The frail girl was lying on the white hospital bed. One could feel her vitality slowly fading away, but she was powerless to do anything.

He stretched out his fingers and pierced through the illusion, witnessing Mi Mi dying in his arms again and again, her soft body becoming cold and stiff.

Lou Che's breathing stopped, unable to bear the pain that shocked the depths of his soul.

I woke up from the dream with beads of sweat on my forehead flowing down to my temples.

I had this dream again.

The man's outer robe became cold after being stained with dew, but he didn't care. He sat alone in the moonlight drinking, and the drifting frost fell to the ground.

He won't let his dreams become reality.

With a little force, the wine glass in his hand turned into powder and flew away in the wind from between his fingertips.

"Defu, summon the Imperial Master to see me. I have something to tell him."

The man in the black robe stood behind the emperor, silent.

"Uncle, please take her away."

This one sentence alone had drained all his strength away. Who knew how determined Lou Che was to hand the girl over to someone else?

Mo Yan sighed.

The situation in Mobei is now turbulent, and there is a spy in the court.

The border is unstable and surrounded by wolves. Many ministers who heard the news have abandoned their posts and fled.

They are plotting a conspiracy to subvert power, and an unprecedented crisis is about to hit.

At this juncture, Ruan Mian is indeed not suitable to stay in the palace.

The king's eyebrows and eyes were indifferent and cold, like a god.

His eyes, as dark as the abyss, gazed into the distance. "Since they have been secretly plotting and waiting for an opportunity to strike, it is better to give it a try than to sit back and wait for death. I will create an opportunity for them. I will marry Princess Pingyang in three days. On that day, the whole country will celebrate. This will be the perfect time for them to rebel."

Mo Yan obviously disagreed with his approach, "Your Majesty, I will stay and help you."

Lou Che shook his head, his eyes slightly red.

"If I am defeated and killed, and the dynasty collapses, you will take Mi Mi and live peacefully in the mountains and forests, away from the world, and ensure that she lives a peaceful life for the rest of her life."

Mo Yan sighed, "Why are you doing this?"

"I can no longer allow them to invade our country and slaughter our people. Success or failure depends on this one move, so... I leave Mian Mian to you."

The Imperial Master stopped trying to dissuade him and gave him a steady look.

The emperor today is no longer the naive boy who needed my protection, but has grown into a great king.

Ruan Mian opened his sleepy eyes and touched the empty space behind him.

The silk fabric was already cold, indicating that the person had been gone for some time.

When did the emperor leave?

After the girl washed up, the chain on her ankle made a metallic clanging sound as she walked.

It forms a sharp contrast with the smooth and delicate skin, and there is charm mixed in with taboo.

The maids on the steps were whispering about something.

The girl tiptoed up to them and eavesdropped through the door.

"They're really getting married. Then, wouldn't Princess Pingyang be the first concubine in His Majesty's harem?"

Another maid asked her to speak quietly so that the person inside would not hear.

"What concubine? It's the Queen! Eunuch Defu said it directly."

Sure enough, starting from that night, Lou Che did not appear in front of the girl again.

Boxes of precious jewels were moved into Qiao Lingling's yard like flowing water, as if announcing to the world her unparalleled status as empress.

The entire palace began to prepare for the emperor's wedding ceremony, and even the maids at the girl's door were fewer.

Perhaps it was because she had lost the king's favor, so instead of wasting time here, it would be better for her to go to the future queen's palace to show her courtesy and get some rewards.

The girl touched the cold chain and curled up at the end of the bed.

Why doesn't he let himself go?

No one could answer her doubts.

A group of people rushed into the house, and the guards didn't dare to take action nor could they stop them.

"Let me see which vixen has bewitched His Majesty to come here so often!"

Qiao Lingling's voice was filled with anger, and she walked in arrogantly, waving a round fan.

She saw the girl on the bed wearing only a thin gauze dress, her skin was as white as snow, and her long black hair was loose.

Ruan Mianshi, whose long eyelashes were trembling and who was as captivating as a fairy, was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted.

"Oh well, it's you! I guessed right!"

Qiao Lingling gave a look, and the maid next to her cursed for her.

"You are such a shameless person! Our princess is getting married to His Majesty and will be the supreme empress. Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you bring disgrace upon yourself!"

Ruan Mian was forced into a corner by the surrounding maids, with nowhere to retreat. She wanted to speak, but the other party did not give her any chance.

A fierce-looking maid stepped forward and said, "How dare you, you lowly slave, seduce the Emperor? Let me smack your face and see what you'll do next!"

Qiao Lingling, who was watching, sat on a chair, raised her eyelids and glanced at the poor girl.

She didn't even need to say a word, these maids who were good at flattery could drown Ruan Mian with just a mouthful of spit.

Just as she wanted.
