"Then... what about Sun Ningxiang? You can't take your eyes off her." Lin Xihe's voice was tinged with jealousy.
"What do you think?" Mu Ruoyan raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly teasing.
"Mu Ruoyan, if you say 'What do you think' one more time, you can go back." Lin Xihe's tone was threatening, but her voice softened a bit.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ruoyan not only did not back down, but instead reached out and wrapped his arms around Lin Xihe's waist, pressing his entire body against hers.
She didn't tell him to get lost; she just said, "Go back now." Even that made Mu Ruoyan happy.
"I'm just trying to make you jealous. You get jealous when I look at her." Mu Ruoyan's voice was low, with a hint of pleasure, and even a touch of smugness.
His fingers gently caressed her waist, as if soothing her, or perhaps teasing her.
"real?"
Lin Xihe asked cautiously, her tone unconsciously softening, tinged with uncertainty. She didn't realize her own change, but Mu Ruoyan heard it clearly, feeling a tickle in his heart.
Lin Xihe had never seen Mu Ruoyan show such weakness before, and felt somewhat dazed.
She was familiar with his domineering and assertive nature, but at this moment, he was like a beast that had retracted its claws, so gentle that she was somewhat at a loss.
"I have no reason to lie to you. You know me. If I were successful, I wouldn't need to be like this now." Mu Ruoyan's voice carried a hint of guilt, as if she had realized how despicable she had been to Lin Xihe in the past.
Lin Xihe looked down at him, and could vaguely make out his outline. At this moment, he was kneeling in front of her with his knees straight, his hands wrapped around her waist, and he would occasionally rub against her, like a puppy waiting for its owner to pet it.
This was a stark contrast to the scene in the palace where a large group of people knelt before him. Since becoming emperor, he had never knelt before anyone except for sacrifices to heaven and ancestors. But now, Mu Ruoyan's posture was extremely humble.
If it were someone else, Lin Xihe might think he was acting, but Mu Ruoyan wouldn't; he had no need to.
"You also know about your past shady dealings?"
"I only just realized, but I don't regret it, Lin Xihe. If I hadn't forced you before, you would never have belonged to me." Mu Ruoyan said, raising her head and straightening her body, her head resting just at the level of Lin Xihe's neck.
He leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against Lin Xihe's neck, and whispered, "Let's not fight anymore, okay? It was all my fault in the past."
After he finished speaking, his lips gently caressed Lin Xihe's smooth, fair neck, the movement tender and lingering.
Lin Xihe's heart skipped a beat, and the touch on her neck made her tremble.
She wanted to push him away, but was moved by his rare gentleness and vulnerability. In the end, she just sighed softly and unconsciously stroked his hair with her fingers, as if in answering or responding.
"From now on, if you're angry, hit me until you feel better, okay?"
Mu Ruoyan's voice was even lower and hoarse, with a hint of seduction, as if it wanted to envelop her completely.
He hadn't seen Lin Xihe for so long, and his desires were already churning, yet he still restrained himself. He wanted Lin Xihe to sink into depravity as he did, to willingly sink into it.
Warm breath sprayed on Lin Xihe's neck, and with Mu Ruoyan's light touch, she felt a tingling sensation on her neck, as if she had been gently struck by an electric current. She opened her mouth, her voice trembling slightly: "You are the emperor, how dare I hit you?"
"When you hit me just now, you didn't expect I was the emperor. It hurt a lot..."
Mu Ruoyan's voice carried a hint of grievance as she placed her slender fingers on the back of Lin Xihe's hand, guiding her to touch her burning cheeks.
His face was burning hot, whether from the hard blow Lin Xihe had given him or from his uncontrollable desires at that moment, it was hard to tell.
Lin Xihe hurriedly tried to pull her hand back, but Mu Ruoyan pulled it back forcefully and pressed her hand to his ear.
Her fingertips touched his skin, feeling its burning heat, and her heart began to race.
Lin Xihe had always known that Mu Ruoyan was good at flirting, but she didn't know where he got his experience from, always managing to make her lose her temper so easily.
Mu Ruoyan felt her breathing become rapid, and he didn't want to hold back any longer. He thought he should take it slow next time.
This time, it was better for him to take the initiative.
The room returned to silence; an hour had passed.
Lin Xihe then remembered something and asked in a slightly flustered voice, "Mu Ruoyan, won't you be recognized if you come out like this?!"
"If this is all I'm capable of, I wouldn't have been sent as an envoy to other countries." Mu Ruoyan hugged the person in her arms even tighter. She only realized she was worried about him now; she really was a little scatterbrained.
"Then what is the purpose of your mission this time?" Lin Xihe asked, vaguely sensing that his purpose for this trip was definitely not just for her.
"Don't you also hate your dog emperor? I'll help you destroy him." Mu Ruoyan was satisfied and in a good mood. She spoke gently and tenderly, as if killing a monarch was just a piece of cake.
"How do we eliminate them?" Lin Xihe pressed.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that if you know too much, you'll overthink things. I just want you to think of me on a daily basis, and then, as long as you trust me, that's enough."
There was another reason why Mu Ruoyan didn't want Lin Xihe to know. After all, both Ji Zhuo and Mu Ruoyan were from the Great Hao Dynasty, and they might have their own sense of national responsibility. He didn't want to put Lin Xihe in a difficult position, so he never mentioned his plans.
"I see."
Lin Xihe stopped asking questions. She knew that if Xiao Yugan didn't die, the Ji Zhuo family, the Mu Ruoyan family, and her own family would suffer.
