Suddenly, one could hear a pin drop in the inner room.

Shen Zhaowan shifted her gaze and turned her eyes to Pei Yanheng, a smile forming at the corners of her stiff mouth.

"His Majesty."

Pei Yanheng approached step by step. He clearly caught the panic in Shen Zhaowan's eyes. Although he tried to hide it, Pei Yanheng's heart gradually grew colder.

The closer Pei Yanheng got, the more he could feel Shen Zhaowan's unnaturalness and forced calmness.

"My dear, why do you look so bad? What happened?"

Shen Zhaowan instinctively touched her cheek and made up an excuse: "Maybe I got cold while admiring the flowers."

One asks knowingly, the other pretends to be ignorant.

Pei Yanheng's eyes were filled with rage, but no matter how many thoughts he had, the expression on his face was calm and unusually peaceful.

He wanted to give Shen Zhaowan a chance and hear her confession.

Shen Zhaowan's heart was racing and her gaze was always evasive, which naturally made Pei Yanheng notice it.

Of course, it was impossible for Shen Zhaowan to tell Pei Yanheng everything now. Firstly, she was panicked. Given Pei Yanheng's temper, he would definitely not forgive her easily if he found out that she had other thoughts. Secondly, it would only be interesting if she let him continue exploring.

Just before Pei Yanheng came in, Shen Zhaowan destroyed the note after being reminded by Xiaobai, and pretended to be calm as she admired the flowers in the white jade vase by the window.

"This slave is here to meet Your Majesty."

At this time, Fuling had just come back with the hot water.

"Stand up." Pei Yanheng said slowly.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to come and see me today?"

Shen Zhaowan changed the subject, trying her best to act coquettishly so that Pei Yanheng would not delve into the matter further.

"My beloved, are you ready to take a bath?"

"I feel a little sweaty when I go out."

He was more eager than before when responding to Shen Zhaowan's coquettish behavior.

Pei Yanheng had a cold face and said something that made people blush and their hearts beat faster.

"That's great. I'm tired too. Let's go together."

"Your Majesty~"

"My beloved concubine, don't you want to?"

Shen Zhaowan did not dare to disagree with Pei Yanheng's question.

With her current state of mind and eyes that couldn't hide her thoughts, she certainly hoped that Pei Yanheng would leave first so that she could have some peace and quiet.

She sensitively noticed that Pei Yanheng was not in a good mood. He was on the verge of a rage, but also had the calmness before a storm.

Shen Zhaowan knew very well that Pei Yanheng was a cold-hearted person. She had finally gained his favor and had slowly walked into his heart, but he knew that she was just a secret spy for the Xichang Kingdom. Naturally, she was extremely angry. Pei Yanheng was angry because Shen Zhaowan had not made a choice yet.

With his previous experience, he was more inclined to let Shen Zhaowan stand on his side.

However, he was the emperor who ruled the world. It was already very good that he could ask a few questions. It was impossible for him to keep asking. Pei Yanheng was very depressed.

I thought to myself: Shen Zhaowan, you'd better give me a satisfactory answer.

After the servant put the water in, he left.

Shen Zhaowan put her hands on her belt and did not move.

Pei Yanheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Zhaowan.

Majestic and intimidating...

Shen Zhaowan had no choice but to slowly take off her clothes, let her black hair loose to cover her beauty, and entered the bath.

Because Fuling had known Shen Zhaowan's preferences earlier, she sprinkled some flower petals on it.

Pei Yanheng's eyes were sweeping across the room, and even the movement of undressing revealed his dignity.

When there was only one piece left, Shen Zhaowan turned her back and her ears turned red.

There was a sound in the water, and Shen Zhaowan felt Pei Yanheng approaching.

My originally panicked heart was beating even faster now.

The words on the note suddenly appeared in Shen Zhaowan's mind: Dragon heir?

But she felt uneasy and conflicted.

It pleases His Majesty, but does not want to be entrusted with such a mission.

He became even more hesitant about continuing to carry out missions for Xichang State.

Shen Zhaowan presented all of this very well in her eyes, and Pei Yanheng, who was kissing her, received it easily.

Pei Yanheng was very satisfied with Shen Zhaowan's dilemma.

Xichang State asked Shen Zhaowan to do just that, but this woman was so uneasy during their first contact, and the depression in his heart seemed to dissipate.

Then he began to punish Shen Zhaowan ruthlessly, and her delicate and charming pleas for mercy could only be drowned out by her ears.

Shen Zhaowan felt uneasy and could only let him take what he wanted.

The lovemaking lasted for several hours. Pei Yanheng did not stay long. He carried Shen Zhaowan to the bed and left silently.

Shen Zhaowan knew that his mood had improved a little.

But what he didn't expect was that just after Pei Yanheng left, Eunuch Shi brought in a bowl of black stuff.

"Lady Zhao, this is His Majesty's order."

Shen Zhaowan suddenly understood what this was, contraceptive soup!

Pei Yanheng was warning her.

Everything about her was just a matter of Pei Yanheng's thoughts.

The two of them had made love so many times before, but they never brought this up afterwards.

But it appeared today for the first time ever.

Pei Yanheng is truly unpredictable.

Is this a guess?

Shen Zhaowan's face turned pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she seemed unable to believe it: "Eunuch Shi, what is this?"

"Don't ask, Lady Zhao. His Majesty's orders will certainly not harm you."

Tears welled up in Shen Zhaowan's eyes.

"I am going to see His Majesty."

Shen Zhaowan wanted to go out eagerly, but was blocked by Eunuch Shi.

"Miss Zhao, you'd better drink it quickly, or it will get cold soon."

Eunuch Shi was also puzzled as to why this happened suddenly.

He thought he would be able to meet the little prince soon.

Ugh……

Shen Zhaowan exhausted her strength, took the bowl with a pale face, stared at it for a long time, and finally drank it.

Fuling took out the candied fruit that she had prepared long ago, her eyes full of heartache.

"Then I will take my leave first."

……

The room was filled with silence. Fuling wanted to say something to comfort her, but she didn't know where to start.

Only a few intermittent sobs could be heard, like sobs that sounded like their hearts were being dug out.

【Wanwan~】

[It’s okay. Pretending to cry is exhausting. I feel dizzy from crying.]

Shen Zhaowan cried for a long time before she fell asleep with Fuling by her side.

When Shen Zhaowan was the only one left in the hall, she opened her beautiful eyes.

His eyes were unusually calm.

……

Pei Yanheng, who had already returned, had a terribly gloomy look on his face, and the palace servants who were serving him didn't dare to breathe.

Afraid of angering their Majesty again.

"His Majesty."

Eunuch Shi walked in respectfully.

"Madam Zhao has already drunk it." Eunuch Shi paused for a moment, "When I left, Madam Zhao was still crying, Zhao..."

Eunuch Shi saw it all. With Concubine Zhao's company, His Majesty was much happier than before. Concubine Zhao was also sincere and wanted to say something nice, but when she saw Pei Yanheng's cold expression, she felt as if her neck was strangled and her voice stopped abruptly.

"I know my crime, I spoke nonsense."

"roll."

When Pei Yanheng spoke with such fury, Eunuch Shi shuddered.

Pei Yanheng thought about it and decided not to impose any punishment, but just let Eunuch Shi go.

He was left behind by his father.

Pei Yanheng knew everything that Eunuch Shi said in advance, and his shadow guards were even faster.
