maintained the demeanor of a playboy and managed a strained smile: "I'm not as rich as my sister, I'm afraid I can't afford you."“Your Hou family is a big client and old friend of mine. Don't worry a..."As expected, you're all brawn and no brains. You have a stunningly alluring body but not an ounce of understanding when it comes to men's hearts. It's a waste that the Emperor wasted so much time on you; you don't even know how to please him."

Shen Qingrui's voice was laced with both delight and disdain. She seemed pleased to see Jiang Qiyun angry at me.

I closed my eyes slightly, not wanting to see her smile, and there was no need to argue with her about these pointless things.

"Don't want to speak Ah, I forgot, the Emperor sealed your mouth. tsk tsk, he doesn't even want to hear your pleas or explanations."

She twitched with schadenfreude and watched the night outside with delight.

Below the helicopter were bustling lights and traffic. Listening to the sound of the rotors, a sense of fear began to creep into my heart.

He... couldn't possibly be locking me up in the Shen family, could he

Until my spirit takes form, will I remain imprisoned here

A flicker of panic in my eyes didn't escape Shen Qingrui's notice. She sneered and leaned down.

“…Are you starting to be afraid Your Majesty has been very merciful to you, but unfortunately, you are arrogant and complacent. He is the supreme deity who governs the underworld, all living beings in heaven and earth, and their souls all belong to his jurisdiction. You, a mere mortal as insignificant as an ant, have received the grace of the Emperor, you should be kneeling and serving him wholeheartedly.”

"It's a pity you're stupid and couldn't see your own place... You think that after spending a few months with the Emperor, you become more important than what happened with Feng Xie's formation"

"Hmph... Don't be naive, Mu Xia Qiao. Even if you are beautiful and please the Emperor in bed, how long can you hold his favor A few months A few years Decades In decades, when you become a wrinkled old woman, will the Emperor still be interested in looking at you Hahaha..."

“You're such a fool. Don't seize this opportunity while grace is still bestowed upon you and wholeheartedly dedicate yourself to His Majesty the Emperor. Make him remember your name! Otherwise, in decades to come, I bet he won't even recall your name.”

……

I'm really stupid, just like my brother said, I don't understand how to be cunning at all.

If she were a smart woman, she should have been able to act coquettish and clingy in his arms long ago, right Why would she be like me, crying every time he yells at her

A helicopter flew over the night, landing in a scenic tourist area near the city. This place was blessed with beautiful mountains and water, and the Shen family's ancestral home stood right here.

I was carried out on a stretcher. This sight made me feel incredibly humiliated.

"Deliver this to the Wǎngfùgē. I will guard it personally." She said to the disciple carrying the stretcher.

She left after saying that, and the two disciples carried me while chatting: “Who is this They can just move into Wang Fu Ge upon arrival. That place is reserved for distinguished guests.”

"Then it must be a distinguished guest."

"Cut, I've never seen such a VIP being carried on a stretcher before. And I didn't hear Miss say she would personally watch over her. I think she's either a hostage or offended someone from our family."

"You talk too much! Get him out of here!"

I was carried into a second-floor attic room. They laid me on a bed, pulled the blanket over me, and then left, not even turning on the lights.

The dark and unfamiliar surroundings intensified my fear.

Must I really be confined to the Shen residence Until the fetus is fully formed, and then…

The lake water outside reflected the moonlight, and after your eyes adjusted to the darkness in the room, you could see the furnishings inside.

A very delicate room, with a dragon and phoenix inlaid moon-shaped bed, an eight immortals table, a small mirror dressing table, screens, carved railings, and curtains...

A faint scent and humidity hung in the air as Shen Qingrui arrogantly pushed open the door.

"Well, how do you like this room It's not a bad place to stay, is it" she chuckled as she walked towards the bed. Someone was behind her carrying a basin of hot water.

She told the man to put the hot water on the basin rack and then sent him away.

She rolled up her sleeves, a bewitching smile on her face: “I’ll attend to you myself, so the Emperor won’t see you with tears staining your face and hair disheveled, thinking I've mistreated you. I can't afford that kind of accusation.”

I watched the disdainful smile in her eyes, a feeling of unease creeping into my heart—she was so arrogant and had always held such deep animosity towards me. How could she possibly deign to serve me

She sneered and stripped me bare, every last bit of clothing gone.

I lay on the satin sheets, the cold air stinging my skin with goosebumps.

She narrowed her eyes, pointing at my chest: "So many traces... humph... I never knew the Emperor would leave any marks! You're actually quite capable!"

Otherwise I smirked inwardly, looking at her. Did this woman only exist to be used as a tool for self-gratification She didn't even know about foreplay like caressing or kissing

Shen Qingrui's eyes darkened. She sneered and put on a pair of rubber gloves: "I won't directly touch your body. Your Majesty doesn't like others touching your belongings."

She wrung out the towel and draped it over my face. The scalding heat made me cry out in pain, but I couldn't make a single sound.

"...The weather is so cold, I'm afraid the water will get cold if I bring it over. So I brought boiling water, maybe 'slightly' hot, it doesn't matter, it will be normal temperature in a while."

The burning is secondary, the wet towel covering your mouth and nose, this feeling of suffocation is agonizing.

She repeated it several times, contentedly watching the flush on my cheeks.

"Okay, now your chest." She pressed the hot towel against my chest.

This hurts more than anything I've ever felt, tears streaming down my face, unable to scream as the pressure builds and I feel lightheaded.

My chest... Jiang Qiyun especially likes to bite those sensitive points, even if he doesn't go all the way, he will linger there. I even feel pain from the friction of my bra, and now being pressed with a hot towel, that kind of pain pierces my heart like a knife.

"So sensitive, no wonder there are so many traces here. I'll help you relax your muscles and improve blood circulation." Shen Qingrui sneered, repeating it until she felt the water temperature wasn't hot enough, then called someone in to wipe me down.

She also reminded him with both hands, "Be careful, don't touch her belly. If something goes wrong, our lives are in danger."

After the basin of water had cooled, Shen Qingrui waved her hand to dismiss the person. She stuck talisman papers on both sides of my bed cave and even bent down to pull the blanket up over me.

She whispered in my ear, "Do you know what paper puppetry is You don't, right... It's just a trifling technique. For example, with a paper puppet enchanted by magic, you could lure away some fool and make the Emperor furious..."

She playfully tapped my nose and giggled, "It's because you're such a clueless idiot about Taoism and magic arts, heehee."

What does this mean

Officer Xiao Xue, they found that lurking shadow, was it her paper figure Was it to lead me away, make me anger Jiang Qiyun again!three incense sticks in my heart for Bai Qijie—if my husband treated me like this, I would be angry too!White Qiji is quite a character, that smile-like squint when he smiles is terrifying, and when h...
