Chapter 550: A Husband Can Only Act

y covered his head and said, “Oh, my head feels dizzy all of a sudden. It must be that Mo Yunjing, that rebellious son, who has angered me.”Having said that, he cast a meaningful glance at Mo Yunze. "...As An Xuetang moved, Mo Yunjing's eyes became increasingly profound, with a hint of bewitching charm.

"Ajing, I suddenly realized something, you can actually shave"

An Xuetang only then realized a problem: weren't men in ancient times allowed to shave

She remembered reading Confucian thought in the 21st century. She also remembered a phrase she saw in the book: "The body and skin are received from one's parents, one must not dare to damage them!"

So, men and women in ancient times couldn't just trim their hair at will. Men especially couldn't just shave off their beards, but she suddenly realized that from the first time she saw Mo Yunjing, he had always been this clean-shaven.

And then there were Feng Ming and others, they were all beardless too.

Mo Yunjing's clear and bright eyes looked at her, "Tangtang, why do you ask that Why can't I shave"

"... "

An Xuetang blinked. "So, the men here can shave their beards whenever they want"

"Hmm."

"...."

An Xuetang was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted. She almost forgot that the place she had traveled to was just ancient times in a parallel universe, not real ancient times.

Mo Yunjing suddenly pinched her chin with one hand, his voice low and husky as he asked again, “Why would you ask such a question”

An Xuetang shook her head and smiled, "No...nothing."

Looking at her smile, which could melt even the coldest heart, Mo Yunjing softly called out again, "Tangtang."

"Huh"

"You just said that you would not accept a verbal apology from me."

"Huh" He suddenly changed the subject, leaving An Xuetang momentarily caught off guard.

Mo Yunjing stopped explaining and suddenly picked her up, walking straight to the bed and placing her down. His magnetic voice whispered in her ear:

Since Tangtang won't accept an apology spoken aloud, this husband can only express it through actions.

An Xuetang : "..."

Her big, round eyes blinked rapidly. Before her head even turned around, Mo Yunjing was already in motion. He cupped her face, his grip a mix of possessiveness and gentleness as he captured her thin lips, forcing them open with a deep, lingering kiss...

Meanwhile, in a small courtyard deep within the palace, the Emperor's face was as dark as thunder.

Liu shi knelt before him, her body trembling uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face, appearing so pitifully pitiful.

Liu's face itself was a weapon to capture men's hearts, and with her expression at this moment, even the emperor's greatest anger subsided somewhat.

"Your Majesty, the subject has never deceived you. A-Tang is truly the subject's daughter. She means no harm. Today in the court hall, when she defied Your Majesty, the subject had no idea why she would act this way."

Seeing her still crying incessantly, the emperor sighed, “Alright, get up.”

"Your Majesty~"

“OK, OK.”

The emperor couldn't bear to see her cry. He, who rarely took the initiative, reached out to help her up. "I'm not blaming you," he said. "But you have to tell me the truth. Is An Xue Tang really your daughter"

Although Liu shi had to stay by the emperor's side, she needed An Xue Tang, so she naturally wouldn't reveal everything she knew. An Xue Tang was no longer the timid and submissive daughter she once was.

But she couldn't tell anyone about this, for one thing because people wouldn't believe her, and secondly because she knew deep down that her beauty needed An Xue Tang to maintain it now.

The Emperor didn't believe it at all. He couldn't imagine a woman who grew up in the countryside having such courage.

Today, at court, I saw An Xue Tang. In the face of absolute power, she did not show the slightest fear. Not only that, but she also arrogantly challenged and threatened him.

To think, he was the emperor of Tianba Nation, the very pinnacle of power in that land! Yet An Xuetang treated him with such disregard.

He couldn't help but wonder if such a woman could have come from the countryside.

Thinking of this, the emperor frowned, his probing gaze fixed on Liu Shi, "Was she truly raised by you"

Liu's heart was pounding, but she still nodded calmly, "Yes, Your Majesty. If You don't believe me, You can send someone to check in Lingshui Village. The villagers of Lingshui Village all know about my and A Tang's situation."

The emperor's eyes darkened. "Have there been any suspicious people approaching her these years"

"No, besides marrying into our family, my niece Ah Tang has never interacted with strangers. She's like a young woman, disliking social interactions."

What Liu said was very similar to what the emperor's people had found earlier. The emperor looked at her for a moment, and Liu started to cry and wanted to kneel down and apologize.

"The maidservant knows it was A Tang's bell that struck the Emperor, and it is the maidservant's fault. It is the maidservant who failed to teach A Tang well. Your Majesty can punish the maidservant, but A Tang is a piece of flesh that fell from the maidservant's body. The maidservant cannot bear to see her punished by Your Majesty."

As she spoke, Liu sobbed and wailed, begging to kneel. Her low-cut dress, already hinting at her ample bosom, rose and fell with her sobs, causing the smooth expanse of her 'breasts' to sway provocatively. The Emperor's eyes flickered with a shift in emotion as he watched.

Adding tears to her face, the Empress finally saw through the Emperor's facade. In the end, he couldn't hold back any longer and, despite his old bones, he managed to carry her up and onto the bed. He immediately pounced on her.

The impatient emperor didn't know that Liu shi's lips curled into a triumphant smile where he couldn't see.

After a vigorous workout with the emperor, Liu lay softly in his arms, breathing deeply.

The emperor's face was full of contented satisfaction after a good meal. He gently squeezed her waist with one hand, "An Xuetang's matter, it was I who misunderstood you. Tell me, how do you want me to compensate you"

Liu shi responded without hesitation, "Your Majesty, as I have said before, I serve by your side asking for nothing. Your Majesty has bestowed upon me unparalleled wealth and honor. I am well-fed and clothed, and I get to see you every day. This is enough for me, so I need nothing else."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, pushed her away, and stared into her eyes with a meaningful gaze. "But to follow me around like this, nameless and faceless, are you truly willing"

Liu's clear eyes stared straight into the Emperor's, nodding without hesitation, "Yes, Your Majesty. The subject is very willing and very happy. To be able to maintain this state, the subject is extremely satisfied."

The emperor silently stared at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled and continued to hold her in his arms, "Your lack of desire is very pleasing to me. If all the women in my palace were as understanding as you, how wonderful it would be."

Liu was lying on top of the emperor, her eyes slightly narrowed. Only she knew what emotions flickered in their depths.

After the emperor finished speaking, he added, "Rest assured, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

Liu's lips twitched upwards slightly, revealing a hint of smugness.

Sometimes, retreating is... actually the best strategy. Xintang Valley is shrouded in mystery, Zhao Li and the others know something about them, especially the valley master. He is considered the number one expert in Lan Country.If An Xuetang had asked th...
