Jiang Jingyue's eyes widened in disbelief.
Tears silently slid down her cheeks, her pitiful appearance making Mo Yuhan's heart clench. This was truly a completely new experience.
He had never been moved by a woman before, but this woman in front of him, even just a few tears, made him feel incredibly sad, though he didn't know why.
Seeing the woman crying her eyes out, Mo Yuhan couldn't control himself any longer. He slowly walked to her bedside and offered his comfort in a cold tone.
"Don't cry. I'm doing this for your own good. You're already mine, so you can only stay with me. Get some rest, and I'll come see you again tomorrow."
After Mo Yuhan finished speaking, he jumped out of the window again. What he didn't know was that as soon as he jumped out, the woman who had been crying immediately wiped away her tears.
"Host, with acting skills like yours, it's a shame you're not a star."
Jiang Jingyue wiped away her tears and then burst into laughter.
“I also think I have a talent for this, but I have to say, the man you picked for me is great. Although he’s over thirty, I’ve never seen such a handsome man before. He’s really my type.”
Jiang Jingyue had already carefully examined it when Mo Yuhan was standing there.
This man is truly etched in her heart; she feels there's no problem winning him over.
"That's right. Every character I conquer in every world is tailor-made for you, so you don't need to worry about the issue of being ugly."
With the system's words of reassurance, Jiang Jingyue felt much more at ease.
Otherwise, if she were to seduce an older man, that would be one thing, but if that older man was also ugly, she would rather fail the mission.
"However, when I saw his tiger-like eyes just now, I thought he was going to pounce on me. I even prepared the fertility pills. I didn't expect him to hold back. Is it because this man has good self-control, or because I'm not attractive enough?"
Upon hearing Jiang Jingyue's words of self-doubt, the system immediately spoke to her.
"Host, do you think beauty pills are free? You swallowed two whole, and you still doubt your own charm."
Jiang Jingyue was a little embarrassed for a moment. Isn't beauty something that every woman likes?
Who wouldn't want to become more beautiful if it were possible?
It was just two beauty pills. If she hadn't run out of points, she probably would have bought a few more to eat.
Meanwhile, Mo Yuhan, after returning to the palace, had no time to inquire about Jiang Jingyue before hearing that the Empress Dowager was ill.
There was no other way but to go see the Empress Dowager first, since she was getting old.
When he arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, he saw her sitting there with a normal expression, but surrounded by several eager women. He immediately understood the Empress Dowager's intention.
"Mother, weren't you sick? Looking at you now, you don't seem to have any problems."
When the Empress Dowager saw Mo Yuhan arrive, she was immediately delighted. She knew that as long as the Emperor heard about anything concerning her, he would not ignore her.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about whether I'm sick or not. I'm sick every single day now. As long as you don't give me a grandson, I'll be sick every single day."
"You lot, hurry over and pay your respects to the Emperor. You will serve him today, and whoever gives birth first will be your empress."
The Empress Dowager's words made the eyes of the women in front of her light up immediately, and they looked at Mo Yuhan with eyes that were like those of wolves and tigers.
Mo Yuhan felt a headache coming on, and his eyes were filled with helplessness as he looked at his mother.
"Mother, dismiss all these people! I have something to say to you."
This was the first time the Empress Dowager had ever seen Mo Yuhan with such a serious expression, so she could only wave her hand and tell the women to leave.
"Speak! What is it? Don't tell me anything that isn't about the imperial grandson. I don't want to hear it."
The Empress Dowager looked worried; she had been concerned about this matter for a long time.
She couldn't understand why a perfectly normal person would have such a problem.
Unfortunately, the imperial physician examined the patients but couldn't find anything wrong.
"Mother, you know perfectly well that I have no interest in these women, so why do you keep bringing the daughters of those ministers into the palace?"
The Empress Dowager was helpless; the court officials were pressuring her too much. If the Emperor had no more sons, they would have to make Prince Cheng the Crown Prince, a scenario none of them wanted to see.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm trying to force you, but what if you meet someone you like? If you don't hurry up, do you really want to hand over the empire you've built to someone else?"
Mo Yuhan certainly wouldn't want this. No one has done more for the prosperity of the Daxing Dynasty than him. How could he possibly agree to hand it over to someone else for nothing?
Mo Yuhan knew that his mother was doing it for his own good, but he was somewhat helpless because none of the many women his mother had brought over were to his liking.
He still prefers petite women; every inch of a petite woman's skin seems to fit his aesthetic ideal.
"Mother, you don't need to look anymore. I have already found someone I don't dislike. Once I successfully persuade her, I will bring her into the palace."
Mo Yuhan's words startled the Empress Dowager, who was sitting up abruptly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Your Majesty, are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you?"
The Empress Dowager's eyes were practically bursting with surprise, and she was radiating joy.
It's normal for Mo Yuhan to be a little agitated when he learns that the Empress Dowager has found out about this.
Actually, he was excited at first, after all, she was the first woman he didn't reject.
However, just thinking about that little woman now makes Mo Yuhan angry.
He was also engaged to the most noble person in the dynasty, and wasn't that the most noble person in the dynasty?
It's simply impossible for her to marry another man.
"Your Majesty, why don't you bring her into the palace, make her a concubine first, and if she has a child, immediately make her empress?"
Seeing the Empress Dowager's anxious expression, Mo Yuhan shook his head.
"Mother, she is still engaged, so we cannot bring her into the palace now, and she is unwilling to enter the palace."
When the Empress Dowager heard the news, she could hardly believe it. She was completely shocked.
After a long pause, the Empress Dowager finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't do things like stealing other men's wives! If you do, you will be despised by the whole world."
