Xuanyuan Man then said seriously: "Shang Shengguo needs a ruler with broad mind, foresight and courage. The fact that you dared to go to the border town alone to find Fu Junyan shows your ability."

"What if I died at the beginning?!" Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Xue couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and her voice became a few degrees higher.

Xuanyuan Man glanced at her and snorted, "You can't die. How can I let the person I like die so easily? They are just a few wolves."

Xuanyuan Xue suddenly felt a little discouraged, but for some reason, looking at his determined eyes, hope was inexplicably rekindled. The faint expectation in her heart was crying out, and was about to burst out.

She was a little uneasy, her eyes evasive: "How can I be worthy of such a great task?"

Xuanyuan Man took out a piece of paper from the book next to her and handed it to her: "Open it and take a look."

Xuanyuan Xue took it and opened it. There were twenty or thirty names written on it, all of whom were core officials in various positions in the court.

Ranked first is Zhao Jing.

"Is Zhao Jing also your man?"

Xuanyuan Man nodded calmly.

Xuanyuan Xue was extremely shocked. It was the first time that she felt the horror of the Huaxuan Organization so directly.

This list is probably just the tip of the iceberg. If Xuanyuan Man really wanted to rebel, the throne would have changed hands long ago.

"You can deploy anyone in Huaxuan's organization at will. Once you decide to take the position, everyone in the court will rush to support you. No need to care about your gender."

Xuanyuan Man was like a completely different person at this moment, with a terrifying aura all around him.

Xuanyuan Xue's heart started beating wildly again. Perhaps this was the path she should take!

Instead of being arbitrarily assigned by the emperor to be a concubine!

It's not about being sad and miserable for a man.

She can have higher goals, plan for the country and the people, and even have the opportunity to expand the territory of Shang Sheng Kingdom!

After the excitement, Xuanyuan Xue gradually calmed down. This road was not easy to walk on, and she was not prepared for too many things.

"Uncle, my father never let me get involved in government affairs."

"No problem." Xuanyuan Man tapped the table with his fan, "I will send you to the palace of Chengyan Kingdom, and Ling Cheyun will train you personally."

"What, what?" Xuanyuan Xue's pupils suddenly dilated, thinking that she had heard it wrong.

Which emperor would cultivate a rival for himself?

Xuanyuan Man curled his lips and sneered: "Don't worry. Ling Cheyun will agree. He owes me this..."

Xuanyuan Xue was once again so shocked that she was speechless, and she looked at him as if he were a stranger.

She really couldn't understand him!

"In three years at most, I will have Ling Cheyun personally send someone to escort you back to the court and ascend the throne."

The plot to usurp the throne was spoken lightly by Xuanyuan Man, as casually and simply as changing the dish.

But it left Xuanyuan Xue speechless, yet extremely relieved.

"Third Uncle, aren't you going back to the court?" Xuanyuan Xue suddenly asked.

Three years later, he could have personally escorted her back to the court.

Xuanyuan Man's eyes darkened and he shook his head gently: "I have more important things to do. When you return to the court, you can ask Zhao Jing for everything."

The more important thing, is it referring to Fu Junyan?

Xuanyuan Xue frowned slightly, thinking of Xuanyuan Man's ambiguous attitude towards Fu Junyan, but she still didn't ask the question.

Just like that, amidst the sound of dripping rain, the two of them sipped tea quietly, each with their own thoughts, and no longer spoke.

At night, Xuanyuan leaned back in the bathtub, closed his eyes and rested.

A dark shadow came in quietly and approached him from behind.

Xuanyuan Man suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the bathtub, spun around, eyes full of hatred, and clenched his fists to wave at the person who came -

The fist was fierce, full of hatred and anger, but it stopped abruptly when it approached the man's face.

The visitor stood still and looked at him quietly.

Xuanyuan Man gritted his teeth, pulled backhand, grabbed the man's arm, and pulled it hard to his chest.

The two bodies were pressed tightly together, and Xuanyuan Man's wet body soaked the clothes of the person who came.

The visitor sighed slightly, his eyes showing a hint of doting and helplessness.

Hearing this whisper-like sigh, Xuanyuan Man's eyes darkened and his body seemed to be even hotter.

He reached out to hold the man's waist, and as if in revenge, he picked him up, and they both fell into the bathtub with a loud noise.

The wide bathtub was more than enough to accommodate Xuanyuan Man's tall body, but when two people fell in together, it seemed crowded and narrow, and there was no chance to even turn around.

This hunched-over posture is very uncomfortable.

The man seemed to want to get up. He grabbed the edge of the bucket with both hands and struggled to get up.

This action angered Xuanyuan Man. He suddenly stood up, grabbed the man's shoulders, and pushed him into the water.

After tossing and turning a few times, the man choked on the water and made pitiful coughing sounds.

Xuanyuan Man's eyes grew dark, and when he pushed the newcomer down again, he lowered his head and dived in without hesitation, staring at the newcomer fiercely with his bloodshot eyes in the water.

In a pair of slightly helpless phoenix eyes with thick eyebrows, Xuanyuan Man could no longer hold back, hugged his waist, and pressed herself against him. Her thin lips also found the position it had longed for, and pressed against him——

With a heart full of longing and complete anger, he bit his thin lips in revenge, and after a moment, traces of blood appeared on the water surface...

It was unknown how long it had been, until both of them were out of breath, Xuanyuan Man put his arms around the person's waist, and they both emerged from the water.

The two men slumped over the edge of the barrel, breathing heavily, their chests heaving violently as if they had just been in a fierce fight.

Xuanyuan Man's eyes were bloodshot, and he raised his head to stare at the roof without blinking. The color of his eyes seemed to change several times, and finally turned into a trace of resentment, which flowed out from his mouth:

"Ling Cheyun, you really deserve to die."

Ling Cheyun turned to look at him, an indescribable emotion stuck in his chest, making him feel a little depressed.

After a long while, I heard him sigh softly: "I am here now, am I not?"

Xuanyuan Man curled his lips and sneered: "If you dare not come, I will kill you in your Golden Palace even if it costs me my life."

Ling Cheyun shook his head helplessly, his eyes were obscure and burning, and his tone was slightly doting: "Man, don't say angry words."

"Hmph..." Xuanyuan Man suddenly turned over, pressed closer to him, pinched his neck with his palm, and said coldly, "How do you know that I was just talking in anger?"

Ling Cheyun put his hand on his waist and stroked him gently like he was stroking a kitten.

Xuanyuan Man's ears turned slightly red, and she pinched his neck even harder, as if she wanted to strangle him to death.

Ling Cheyun was not angry either. He just looked at him quietly and let him vent his anger.

Just like fifteen years ago, when he said he wanted to come back, Xuanyuan Man pressed him into the snow amidst the wind and snow, his eyes were sinister and full of rage, as if he wanted to tear him apart and incorporate him into his body—

Ling Cheyun was strangled and couldn't breathe, and couldn't help coughing twice.

"Damn it!" Xuanyuan Man pushed him hard, turned over and leaned back on the edge of the bucket, closed her eyes, and didn't let the sadness in her eyes spill out at all.

"Yes, I deserve to die."

Ling Cheyun murmured, no longer calling himself "I" in a high-handed manner. Only in front of him was he no longer the man who had to uphold the majesty of the emperor in order to maintain the imperial power.

"Ling Cheyun, I've been waiting for you for fifteen years... We agreed that you would come back to find me..." A layer of pain appeared on Xuanyuan Man's face, and she didn't want to look at him.

"If I hadn't come, you would have given up on me in this life, right?" Xuanyuan Man gritted her teeth and squeezed out each word from between her teeth, "Ling Cheyun! You're so cruel! I didn't give up on you even when you were at your lowest point!"

Ling Cheyun trembled, and reached out his underwater hand, gently holding his hand, and said in a painful voice: "I am sorry for you... Chengyan Kingdom needs me..."

So when he ascended the throne as he wished, for the sake of imperial power and royal bloodline, he married a queen, took concubines, and gave birth to a prince.

I also lost the promise I made ten years ago... But the most important place in my heart is still empty...

However, he could not have imagined that Xuanyuan Man would be so devoted to him that she even came to Chengyan Kingdom for him.

Once I saw the man, I was ruined for life. In the end, it was Ling Cheyun who let him down!

Xuanyuan Man knew that what he said was true, but he was unwilling to accept it.

He wanted to beat him up, but when he felt the warmth in his palm, he finally gave in to the warmth and couldn't bear to let him go.

Xuanyuan Man turned his head to look at him. The deep affection in Ling Cheyun's eyes was so strong that it could not be dissolved, and he fell deeply into it again.

Never mind, it was his fault for falling in love with the emperor!

I would rather be torn to pieces in the future!

Xuanyuan Man gritted his teeth, and after a moment his voice returned to calm: "Cancel the marriage between Xuanyuan Xue and Fu Junyan, and welcome her into the palace."

Ling Cheyun frowned: "You want me to marry her?"
