After sending away the guests, Ming Shu found a steamed bun and ate it as she walked tiredly towards her room.

  The room was refurbished. Red silks hung in the room. Red words were pasted everywhere.

  The red candle burned slowly. The lighting in the room made it look ambiguous.

  There were some food and drinks on the table.

  Ming Shu finished the last bite of the steamed bun and closed the door.

  She could see the figure behind the screen. She glanced at the food on the table. In the end, she poured two glasses of wine and walked toward the screen.

  Shen Pin was sitting on the bed. When Ming Shu walked in, he raised his head. His eyes were filled with happiness.

  Ming Shu sighed. She should have eaten two more steamed buns before coming.

  Ming Shu passed him a glass of wine.

  She wanted to just drink it normally, but Shen Pin stopped her. They had cross-cupped wine.

  Ming Shu was standing so she needed to bent down.

  She smelled the fragrance on Shen Pin’s body. He blinked. “Lady, this is how you should drink wine on the day of the wedding.”


  Ming Shu patted his head and replicated his actions.

  “Lady, shall I undress you?”


  Since they had to do it, Ming Shu let him undress her.

  Shen Pin took off her outerwear. Then, he held her hand and guided her to the bed. He started undressing.

  This had all been taught in the palace.

  He went to review it before his wedding.

  Shen Pin was nervous so his hand trembled as he undressed. Ming Shu waited for a long time before deciding to act on her own. She pulled Shen Pin toward her and took off his clothes quickly.

  Shen Pin’s body was very soft. This was an entirely different experience from the other Qi Yus.

  Last time, if she didn’t stop Qi Yu, he would tire her out.

  Now……

  He was seductive and enchanting.

  This was the difference in a man from Fengqi State.

  “Don’t.” Ming Shu stopped Shen Pin, who wanted to continue. “Your health is the most important.”


  Shen Pin’s face was red. His eyes were misty. “Are you worried about me?”


  “Yes, yes, yes.”

  Shen Pin blinked. He leaned against Ming Shu’s chest and calmed his breathing.

  A certain part of his body was still erect. It showed no signs of going down.

  Ming Shu grabbed the blanket and placed it over him. “Are you hungry?”


  Shen Pin was a little dizzy. He took a while to answer her.

  “Shall we have some food then?” Ming Shu suggested. She was famished.

  She hadn’t eaten the entire day.

  “Yes,” Shen Pin replied.

  Ming Shu asked people to heat up the food before dressing him. Then, she carried him out.

  Ming Shu hugged Shen Pin as she ate the food. Shen Pin didn’t eat much. He just watched Ming Shu as she ate. Occasionally, he would feed her some food.

  “Do you want some soup?” Ming Shu placed the spoon beside Shen Pin’s mouth.

  “Are you going to feed me?”


  “I’m feeding you……”

  Shen Pin’s face was still red. He looked cute. He licked the spoon like a kitten.

  He looked at Ming Shu. “I want…… you to feed me with your mouth.”


  Ming Shu: “.……”


  Ming Shu finished the soup in one mouthful.

  Shen Pin: “.……”


  Ming Shu pushed the bowl away and poured a glass of wine for herself. She drank it and then kissed Shen Pin. The wine entered Shen Pin’s mouth.

  Shen Pin couldn’t swallow in time so some wine dribbled out of his mouth corners.

  Ming Shu leaned back. “Do you still want more?”


  Shen Pin nodded slightly.

  Ming Shu poured another glass of wine and fed Shen Pin the same way.

  “Shen Pin.” Ming Shu hugged him.

  “Yes?”


  “Do you regret getting together with me?”


  “Why would I regret?” Shen Pin said. “From the moment I saw you, I knew that I will only marry you.”


  “Isn’t that weird?”


  Shen Pin touched Ming Shu’s hair. He swung his legs. “I find it weird too. I’ve never had this feeling before.

  “I felt that I’ve forgotten something. There is an emptiness in me. However, when I see you, I feel that I’ve found what I’ve forgotten. I don’t feel empty in my heart anymore.

  “I will not regret it. Never.”


  Ming Shu pressed his legs down and covered them with his clothes. “No matter what happens in the future, you will not regret it?”


  “Yes!” Shen Pin nodded firmly. “I just want to be with you.”


  After a while, Ming Shu kissed his forehead.

  “I understand.”
……

  Shen Pin didn’t remember when he fell asleep. When he got up, Ming Shu was still beside him. He felt warm in his heart.

  “You are awake.” Ming Shu put down the snacks in her hand. “It’s afternoon already. You are a good sleeper.”


  Shen Pin smiled and reached out. “Lady, I want a hug.”


  The blanket slid down and revealed Shen Pin’s body. There were love bites on his body.

  Ming Shu threw his clothes at him. “Put on your clothes.”


  Shen Pin didn’t get angry. He jumped out of the blanket and gave Ming Shu an enthusiastic hug.

  Ming Shu: “.……”
……

  The news that Princess Seven was a man became a hot topic among the civilians. Everyone thought that Shen Yu would punish Princess Seven.

  However, nothing happened.

  Since Shen Pin was a man, the rumor last time was set aside.

  The people that wanted to create trouble for Ming Shu kept a low profile for the moment.

  Three days after the wedding, Duanmu Shu became critically ill.

  Shen Yu couldn’t be bothered with Ming Shu anymore. She stayed with Duanmu Shu every day. She killed many imperial physicians, but Duanmu Shu didn’t get better.

  Ming Shu heard that Duanmu Shu had given up on living.

  If you saved a person who wanted to die, he would still find other ways to kill himself.

  Shen Yu didn’t go to the morning sessions these past few days.

  Shen Yu pampered Shaoyao during this period of time, but in her heart, she still loved Duanmu Shu the most.

  Unfortunately, the male protagonist would rather die than stay with Shen Yu.

  “You said that Shen Yan is in Daliang State before. How do you know that?”


  Shen Pin was massaging Ming Shu’s shoulders when he heard her question. He stopped for a moment and replied, “Because I sent Sister Four away.”


  Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “You have the ability to do this?”


  “Of course. I’m quite amazing.” Shen Pin leaned forward and whispered in Ming Shu’s ear, “You should know this.”


  Shen Pin was referring to the assassins they met last time. He didn’t mean anything else.

  However, he leaned too close to Ming Shu. Ming Shu’s thoughts went astray.

  She coughed. “Why did you help Shen Yan?”


  Shen Pin asked her back, “Why are you interested in Sister Four?”


  “Because she should be the one on the throne.”


  “Huh?” Shen Pin lowered his hands and hugged Ming Shu. “I thought that you wanted the throne.”
