Chapter 9

  He was well aware of the potential risks involved in making such a decision, and he was also very clear about Murong Lie's ambition as an old fox. However, he still insisted on letting her enter the palace.

  It was just that on that night, her unreserved actions, her unpretentious expressions, and even her arrogant and domineering attitude had left a deep impression on him.

  These days, her shadow has been floating in front of him from time to time. When he goes to those concubines, facing those beautifully dressed, gentle and charming faces that try their best to please him, he surprisingly doesn't have the slightest interest. He can't help but think of that woman, who has absolutely piqued his curiosity by a hundred percent.

  So, no matter what, he wanted to let her enter the palace, and in his heart, there was a feeling that she wouldn't be that kind of sinister and hypocritical woman, although she was Murong Lie's daughter, he still chose to believe her.

  A myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind, the corners of his lips involuntarily curled into a faint smile, and his footsteps unconsciously quickened.

  He really wants to see her as soon as possible at this moment, and his heart also unconsciously draws a thread of expectation, expecting that tonight's her will bring him a different surprise.

  The guards following behind him also couldn't help but feel slightly shocked. The Emperor seemed to be in a great hurry tonight.

  The emperor walked quickly to the Qian Palace, a piece of silence made his eyes' expectation slightly faded. However, the steps under his feet did not slow down at all, and he quickly entered the room.

  As his eyes fell upon the woman sitting rigidly on the edge of the bed in her bright red wedding dress, a flicker of surprise flashed across his eyes, and his footsteps also came to an involuntary halt.

  Such a scene, very normal, very normal, but this normality seems to have deviated from his imagined scenario. He deliberately made her wait for so long in the backyard today, thinking that she would definitely be dissatisfied and make some moves, but unexpectedly, she dared to sit quietly for more than an hour.

  After a slight astonishment, she couldn't help but laugh. No matter what, today was still her wedding night. How could she possibly do anything out of line at this time?

  The faint smile at the corner of her lips slowly dissipated, and the steps under her feet also took another step forward.

  He stopped less than a meter away from her, standing straight and still, his eyes fixed on the red veil on her head, but he didn't make any movement.

  He really wanted to see how she would react.

  But he was disappointed once again. He waited for a long time, but the woman in front of him didn't make any movement or sound at all.

  His Majesty slightly furrowed his brow, thinking that with the temperament he saw in her that night, she wouldn't be able to remain so calm.

  "What? Are you still shy?" His eyebrows slightly raised, his thin lips opened, and his words were laced with a hint of teasing, but also carried a subtle undertone of probing.

  He didn't believe that a woman who squeezed into the crowd of men to grab flowers, and a woman who spoke loudly in front of men, would be very embarrassed.

  "Your Majesty,..." The soft and gentle voice of Murong Lingshu drifted out, with a hint of intentional coquetry and an alluring pout that could tempt one's soul.

  At this moment, although her head was covered with a happy veil and her expression could not be seen clearly, it was completely possible to imagine the good kind of tenderness she had at this moment.

  But the emperor's body suddenly stiffened, that kind of voice was what he usually heard as a nauseating sound, all the women in the harem, when facing him, were always using that slightly flirtatious and seductive tone.

  But she? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

  How is it possible that this is also a voice? ????????????

  Her hand, slightly stiff, quickly reached for the red cloth on her head, and when it touched the cloth, it seemed to pause for a moment, but only for that instant. Then, with a slight lift of her hand, the red cloth was quickly lifted up.

  Suddenly, a beautifully dressed, charming and seductive face quickly appeared in his eyes. At that moment, his originally stiff body completely became a statue, and his deep eyes also sank suddenly. In the depths of his eyes, a layer of coldness quickly passed by, still hiding an uncontrollable anger.

  "Who are you?" His lips, with a hint of stiffness, slightly curled up, and the escaping sound was as cold as an ice pick that had frozen for thousands of years.

  Although it was a bit dark that night, he didn't see the woman's face, but he could be 100% sure that the woman in front of him and the one from that night were absolutely not the same person.

  Murong Lie, actually dared to play with him like this

  Murong Lingshu slowly stood up, her eyes slightly raised, and when she met his icy gaze, her body involuntarily trembled slightly. However, she still walked slowly to his front, "Your Majesty, I am Murong Lingshu." A pair of slender hands also stretched out towards the emperor's arm, "It's getting late, why not let me help you with your attire..."

  She has been waiting for a long time and was worried that the Emperor would not come.

  Now, seeing the emperor standing in front of her, she was already excited to the extreme, so at this moment, she threw away all the reserve that a girl should have. Her mother had said that sometimes when dealing with men, one must take the initiative, just like she did back then.

  Looking at the emperor's face, which was cold but still captivating, her heart, filled with expectation, quickly crossed over to joy. She had previously followed the empress into the palace to see the empress dowager and had caught a glimpse of the emperor from afar. At that time, she had always yearned to enter the palace, but her father had refused to let her in, instead believing that despicable girl. However, heaven still pitied her and finally allowed her wish to come true.

  Those hands had yet to touch the hem of his imperial robe when they were frozen by the cold, icy glare he shot over.

  "Your Majesty, why...?" Murong Lingshu slightly raised her eyes, and in those captivating eyes, she was fully displaying her charm. Since it was the Emperor himself who had let her enter the palace, naturally it was because he liked her. So at this moment, even when facing the Emperor's gaze that could freeze everything solid, she still...

  "Are you Murong Lingshu?" The emperor's eyes coldly swept over her entire body, and his physique unconsciously took a step back. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he said coldly, "How many Murong Lingshus are there in the Murong Manor?"

  He clearly remembered that on that night, the woman naturally admitted to living in the Murong residence, and the maid who followed also called her "Miss". Since Murong Lie had only one daughter, Murong Lingxue, the identity of the woman was already very clear. So now, what's going on with this Murong Lingxue?

  "Your Majesty, of course I am Murong Lingshuo." Seeing the Emperor's subconscious action of taking a step back, Murong Lingshuo was slightly taken aback, and a sense of loss flashed through her mind. However, on her face, a faint smile with a hint of playfulness quickly appeared, "Could there be several Murong Lingshuos?"
