Yun Shu’er immediately got out of bed, so flustered that she didn’t even notice that the collar of her nightgown was open. She stood beside the bed and bowed to him.

“This concubine greets the Emperor.”

　　Cold Jun had already turned around at this time, Yun Shu’er couldn’t ignore his burning gaze. She lowered her head slightly and didn’t dare to look up, but her attention was all focused on him.

　　Cold Jun stood up straight, the aura he exuded made her breathless.

　　She could hear her heartbeat getting faster, especially when she saw him walking towards her. That feeling of oppression made her want to retreat.

　　In a few steps, Cold Jun was already in front of her. Yun Shu’er felt like she was burning up under his gaze. His eyes were too hot…

　　Until the light in front of her was blocked, leaving only a patch of darkness. The air was filled with the faint scent of dragon’s saliva.

　　Cold Jun reached out to her. Yun Shu’er wanted to take a step back, but his hands had already touched the collar of her nightgown.

　　She quickly lowered her head to look, and only then did she realize that her collar was wide open, faintly revealing her white and jade-like chest.

　　She was both embarrassed and flustered. She quickly took a step back, but her slender waist was grabbed by the man’s arm, pressing her into his broad chest.

　　“Don’t move anymore.”

　　He said in a hoarse, magnetic voice, his throat was dry and burning. His lowered black eyes were deep and bottomless.

　　Yun Shu’er’s ears were flushed red as she pressed against him. His left hand was carefully fixing her collar.

　　His unintentional touch made her skin keep turning red, her eyes were filled with water mist, she bit her lip and endured the soft hum that was about to escape her mouth.

　　Cold Jun said in a voice that was hoarse to the extreme: “Done.”

　　He let go of her. Yun Shu’er stood there awkwardly, her entire body was flushed red.

　　Cold Jun didn’t know when he stared at her small earlobes, which were red and luscious.

　　He reached out and gently rubbed her earlobe: “So shy, what will you do in the future.”

　　His ambiguous words were filled with deep danger. Yun Shu’er’s mind went blank, her whole body was burning with anxiety, and she didn’t know how to answer him.

　　“Your Majesty, this concubine is going to wash up.”

　　She quickly found an excuse to escape the dangerous and ambiguous situation. Before she could get a response from him, she lowered her head and walked around him, casually picking up a set of clothes and running to the back of the screen.

　　“Your Majesty, can… can you turn your back?” She asked cautiously.

　　Cold Jun gave a deep “hmm” and didn’t make things difficult for her. He turned his back to her again and sat back down on the chair he had been sitting on before.

　　

　　Yun Shu’er stood behind the screen and took off her nightgown. Her fingers were trembling. She hadn’t recovered yet. Her whole body was white, tinged with red, and she was a little flustered as she picked up her clothes and put them on.

　　Her mind was blank during the whole process of changing clothes. She had never imagined that the male lead would have feelings for her.

　　Including when he was holding her just now, she could clearly feel his… strangeness. It was… not something she could handle…

　　Yun Shu’er quickly shook her head. What was she thinking about? She couldn’t let her mind wander.

　　She put on her clothes and checked them carefully several times before she came out from behind the screen. When she passed by the male lead, she didn’t say anything, but bowed to him. Then she quickly walked towards the well, as if she wanted to take two steps as one.

　　Cold Jun stared at her fleeing figure with unclear eyes, a smile flashed in his eyes. She knew how to run.

　　Yun Shu’er absentmindedly took water from the well. She brushed her teeth and washed her face as slowly as possible. While she was washing, she thought: Why hasn’t the male lead come out yet?

　　No matter how slowly she washed, she would finish eventually. She couldn’t help it. Knowing that the male lead was waiting for her in the palace, she couldn’t avoid him. To avoid angering him,

　　So she dawdled back to the palace. The closer she got, the more she could feel his heavy gaze.

　　“Your Majesty, do you have something to tell this concubine?” She couldn’t stand his burning gaze, it seemed… like he was going to swallow her.

　　“Can’t I come to see you if I have nothing to do?” His magnetic, hoarse voice created an ambiguous atmosphere, as if he was bewitching someone.

　　“Of course not, this concubine is just… just feeling uneasy. This concubine is the daughter of a traitor, so…” She stopped talking and tried to dissuade him. Who could tell her why the male lead, who was not close to women, had that kind of meaning for her?

　　Cold Jun didn’t seem to care about what she said. He asked her: “I’m planning to let you move out of the cold palace. Concubine Yun, do you have a palace you like?”

　　Yun Shu’er quickly shook her head, strongly refusing to leave the cold palace. Because the outside was many times more dangerous than the cold palace. She didn’t want to be troubled by people every now and then. Besides, the General’s Mansion had already been confiscated. Moving out of the cold palace would be harmful and useless for her.

　　The cold palace shielded her from a lot of trouble. After all, those concubines would find it unlucky to come here. Besides, it was quiet here.

　　“Your Majesty, this concubine has gotten used to living in the cold palace. I can’t adapt to life outside the cold palace. Please, Your Majesty, revoke your decree.”

　　Cold Jun didn’t seem to expect her to refuse. He stared at her in silence for a moment, then asked again: “Is that really the case?”

　　Yun Shu’er bowed slightly: “Your Majesty, this concubine is self-aware. I dare not think of what I shouldn’t expect. This concubine is living quite well in the cold palace.”

　　Even if he was protecting her, he wouldn’t be able to protect her for the rest of her life. When he got tired of her, she would be the daughter of a traitor again.

　　Her words were laced with meaning. Cold Jun’s handsome face sank. She not only refused to leave the cold palace, but also refused to be favored.

　　“Do you hate me?”

　　Those three short words were filled with frost and ice, scaring Yun Shu’er so much that her legs went weak. She was afraid that she would be killed by him the next second.

　　“Your Majesty, this concubine just doesn’t want to move out of the cold palace. It’s not that this concubine hates Your Majesty.”

　　Cold Jun stared at her without blinking, as if he wanted to find a flaw on her face. But her beautiful face was filled with nothing but panic.

　　“It’s fine, hate me if you want to.”

　　How dare Yun Shu’er hate him? She was anxious again because of his casual tone.

　　“Your Majesty doesn’t believe this concubine, why ask this concubine?” As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. She couldn’t help it, her mouth was faster than her brain!
