Junxuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable. He stared intently at Shen Yunxi, as if imprinting her image in his mind through his eyes. It was unclear whether he was pondering Shen Yunxi's words or thinking about something else.
After a long while, Junxuan slowly uttered two words from his thin lips.
"I won't let go."
Junxuan's words carried a domineering tone. He still did not look away, his dark eyes fixed on Shen Yunxi, but he did not make any other move.
Shen Yunxi felt very uncomfortable being pressed against the stone table. Fortunately, although Jun Xuan was pressing her down, he did not put his full weight on her, otherwise she might have passed out.
Looking at Junxuan now, Shen Yunxi didn't know whether he was drunk or not. Judging from his movements, he didn't seem to be restricted, so he probably wasn't drunk.
If he wasn't drunk, given his dislike for her, he should have just kicked her out. How could he have done something like this?
It wasn't that Junxuan had no intimate contact with her in her previous life; on the contrary, they had a lot of contact. Shen Yunxi knew very well that every time Junxuan favored her, it didn't seem to be very enjoyable, and his actions never showed any tenderness. Therefore, Shen Yunxi was quite certain that Junxuan did not like to touch her.
Thus, Junxuan's actions now left Shen Yunxi somewhat bewildered, and she grew increasingly anxious, also worried about being seen by others.
"Your Majesty, what exactly are you planning to do? If you feel that I have offended you, please punish me as you see fit, and I will not object. If I had known Your Majesty was here, I would not have come, so as not to disturb Your Majesty's peace and quiet. But I did not do it intentionally, and I hope Your Majesty will understand." Shen Yunxi said urgently.
Jun Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly chuckled softly as he lowered his body to get closer to Shen Yunxi.
"No one should be here today. Since you've come, you must have some plans. What, do you want to offer yourself as my concubine? To become the first one in my harem?" Jun Xuan said.
Hearing him say that, Shen Yunxi was certain that Jun Xuan was not drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to speak so clearly.
But after being teased by Junxuan like this, Shen Yunxi's expression was equally unpleasant.
“Since Your Majesty is not drunk, please release me. I will definitely go far away. I was not very sleepy tonight, and I wandered here aimlessly. It was my fault for disturbing Your Majesty, and I am willing to accept any punishment. However, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have no ulterior motives, and Your Majesty's harem is not the place I seek to settle down in now,” Shen Yunxi replied calmly.
Since Junxuan wasn't drunk, his actions were just meant to scare her, so she didn't need to take it too seriously.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Junxuan's eyes. "Heh, Miss Shen came here on purpose, and today no less. Isn't there some other plan behind it? I have already ordered that no one is allowed to come here. So how did Miss Shen get here, and what does she know?"
Junxuan was actually wondering if Shen Yunxi knew he was in a bad mood on this special day, which was why she barged in, or if she had received word that he was here before coming.
However, Shen Yunxi heard these words but didn't think that was the case. She thought Junxuan was referring to Lu Wanqing's injury.
"Your Majesty is joking. I have not heard anyone mention that this place is off-limits. I was merely taking a walk here. As for today, I do not believe I have done anything wrong. Miss Lu tried to push me, but I managed to dodge, which is why she fell in. If Your Majesty feels that I should bear the consequences of Miss Lu's scheme, then I have nothing to say and am willing to accept the punishment," Shen Yunxi replied.
Junxuan was taken aback, suddenly remembering that he had heard Defu say today that Lu Wanqing had been injured in the Empress Dowager's palace and had gone to the Imperial Concubine for treatment, and that the injury was related to Shen Yunxi.
Unfortunately, today was a special day, and Junxuan didn't want to pay attention to anyone, not even Lu Wanqing.
After hearing what Shen Yunxi said, it seemed that there was more to the story.
Junxuan didn't care about the scheming between the women; he was currently very agitated and could barely contain himself.
However, a faint fragrance wafted to his nose, emanating from Shen Yunxi. He hadn't paid much attention to it before, surrounded by the smell of alcohol, and only now did he notice the scent.
It must be said that the fragrance made him feel much better, and it seemed to have lessened his discomfort.
If you disregard the Empress Dowager as a person, Shen Yunxi is actually not unlikeable.
Junxuan was never one to compromise himself. He smelled the fragrance on Shen Yunxi's body and followed his own thoughts, lowering his body to get closer to Shen Yunxi again.
Shen Yunxi opened her eyes wide and watched as Jun Xuan's head got closer and closer, as if he wanted to kiss her. Shen Yunxi was so frightened that she froze, her face turned pale, and she pushed Jun Xuan away with both hands.
"Your Majesty, please have some self-respect!"
No, she absolutely cannot let anything happen between herself and Junxuan; she must break free from this passive situation.
Junxuan originally just wanted to sniff the fragrance on Shen Yunxi's body to see what kind of fragrance it was, so that he could ask Defu to prepare some when he got back.
However, seeing Shen Yunxi's evasive actions, Junxuan felt a surge of anger.
She had longed to get close to him before, but now she was full of resistance to his approach, and even told him to have some self-respect. Junxuan couldn't suppress his anger, and with the alcohol getting into him, he simply lowered his head and leaned in.
The words coming out of that rosy little mouth are quite unpleasant; if you seal it shut, she won't say anything unpleasant.
As Junxuan drew closer and closer without restraint, just as he was about to touch Shen Yunxi, Shen Yunxi instinctively overstepped her bounds, causing Junxuan's kiss to land on her neck.
A warm, moist touch on her neck made Shen Yunxi bite her lip hard. Her body trembled slightly, and the emotions she had been holding back finally began to crumble. Her eyes reddened involuntarily, and tears slowly welled up in her eyes.
Sensing Shen Yunxi's stiffness and resistance, Jun Xuan's eyes turned cold. He suddenly twisted his hand around Shen Yunxi's neck forcefully, and his hand began to reach towards Shen Yunxi's waist.
Shen Yunxi noticed Jun Xuan's movement, but before she could make a sound, she felt her waist loosen.
Jun-hyun untied his belt!
A sense of despair filled Shen Yunxi's heart. Was being reborn still not an escape from her fate?
A strong hatred welled up in her heart. At this moment, Shen Yunxi's eyes flashed with determination and a hint of madness, but her body stopped struggling.
As if sensing Shen Yunxi's compromise, Jun Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes full of mockery.
As expected, Shen Yunxi's ultimate goal was still to become his woman.
But now Junxuan didn't want to care about so much. He was in great pain and distress. He originally just wanted to bear it alone, but Shen Yunxi barged in on him.
In that case, don't blame him for dragging her down with him!
The next moment, Shen Yunxi's clothes were slowly pulled open, and a touch of crimson appeared in Jun Xuan's eyes.
"Do you really want me to hate you?"
