Chapter 186: Being Coveted
Shen Zhiyao didn't say anything, but just looked at Bo Muxi with eyes full of grievance.
Bo Muxi hadn't seen her for some time and felt itchy in his heart, so he picked her up and walked towards the inner room.
Shen Zhiyao began to struggle silently and didn't want to give in to him easily.
"My beloved concubine has suffered such a great injustice, I must comfort you well, you just be good..."
As Bo Muxi spoke, he began to use his hands and mouth together.
"Your Majesty...you haven't seen me for so long...We haven't even said a few words and you're already like this..." Shen Zhiyao was still trying her best to resist.
However, it wasn't long before he was completely "suppressed" by the emperor's firepower and no longer had the ability to struggle.
She smelled the unique fragrance of Bo Muxi, pursed her lips, and finally began to cater to this dog emperor...
Shen Zhiyao barely slept in the first half of the night, and she didn't know how long she had been tormented. When she was finally released by Bo Muxi, she heard the night watchman's call. She was speechless...
Bo Muxi supported his head with one hand, leaning on the couch, looking at her with an evil yet gentle smile.
At this moment, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart, a kind of warmth he had never felt before.
He didn't understand what kind of magic this little concubine had. Even though he sometimes tried to ignore and distance himself from her, he missed her even more in his heart.
The more he wanted to find someone else to distract himself, the stronger his longing for and desire for her became.
Shen Zhiyao looked at his cool and handsome appearance and cursed in her heart: beast.
But on the surface, she still looked docile and obedient, and said angrily: "Your Majesty... It's so late now, you still have to attend the morning court tomorrow! I also have to go to Fengyi Palace to pay my respects. Now it's great, I don't know how painful it will be to get up tomorrow!"
"Then get up later. I won't be attending court tomorrow, so you can also ask for leave. Since my beloved concubine feels that she has suffered a great injustice, I will naturally compensate her more..." Bo Muxi laughed.
Shen Zhiyao used her delicate fingers to draw circles on Bo Muxi's chest, and said angrily: "Your Majesty can't always think about compensation. Think about it, if it were an ordinary woman, she would have been frightened by your official manner. Couldn't Your Majesty protect her in advance?"
Bo Muxi was a little tickled by her, so he grabbed her slender fingers and said, "My beloved concubine is so smart, how can an ordinary woman compare to her? I have already made arrangements. During this period of time, has anyone dared to bully you?"
"Hmph, Your Majesty always says that I am good at flattering people, but I think you are even better at flattering people! I just can't argue with you."
Shen Zhiyao suddenly stared into Bo Muxi's eyes and said seriously: "However, Your Majesty, I have something to say in advance. If Hu Cairen or someone like that bullies me by relying on your favor, I will never tolerate it!"
As she spoke, she carefully observed the emperor's micro-expressions, but did not see any displeased facial reaction from Bo Muxi.
Bo Muxi thought that since he had made his words so clear, Hu Cairen was not a fool, so he touched her nose and said with a smile, "It's up to you."
That's more like it! Shen Zhiyao showed a satisfied smile, then lay down in Bo Muxi's warm embrace, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.
Bo Muxi held the little concubine in his arms, and soon fell asleep with her.
The next day, they both woke up late...
When Qiuyue came in to serve, she whispered in Shen Zhiyao's ear, "The emperor woke up once before, and he has already told Eunuch Lin'en to go to Fengyi Palace in person to ask for leave for you."
Shen Zhiyao narrowed her eyes into two small crescents and instructed, "Give a big red envelope to Eunuch Lin En for me later. Don't forget."
"Master, rest assured. I have already made arrangements." After saying this, Qiuyue covered her lips with her hands, smiled and walked out.
Shen Zhiyao was about to lie down and take a nap, but was embraced by a pair of strong arms: "What are you mumbling about behind my back so early in the morning?"
"It's just about the leave matters that I realized the emperor is so thoughtful." Shen Zhiyao smiled.
"Well, get up and quickly get me something to eat. I was hungry before going to bed last night." Bo Muxi seemed to be in a very good mood.
Shen Zhiyao laughed and joked with Bo Muxi for a while before calling Qiuyue in to help her wash up.
Chu An brought a very rich breakfast from the kitchen. The two of them had "intense exercise" last night, so they had a good appetite and ate a lot.
Bo Muxi was in particularly good spirits today. It was a rare vacation for him, and he wanted to go back to Changdeok Palace to review some memorials, but he was reluctant to do so, so he simply asked Lin'en to move some of the memorials over.
He had never done such a thing since he ascended the throne, so naturally it would shock everyone in the harem.
How many people would be jealous of this?
Shen Zhiyao didn't object verbally, but she couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart. She was afraid that she would have to spend the whole morning serving the emperor again, which was really... tiring.
However, she received this special treatment just on the second day after being released from the ban, which greatly overshadowed Hu Cairen who was in great favor recently.
But Shen Zhiyao miscalculated in the end. Bo Muxi stayed there for another whole day.
During this time, the evil emperor took many opportunities to order her around. Sometimes he asked her to serve meals, sometimes he asked her to serve writing, and in the afternoon, he even forced her to play two games of chess with him.
Shen had no choice but to endure until the evening, but the emperor still showed no intention of leaving. It seemed that he wanted to stay overnight.
Bo Muxi talked to her for a while, and after they had dinner, the emperor suddenly mentioned Shen Li again.
"General Shen Li has been suppressing the Jinfeng Kingdom on my frontier for me. He is my right-hand man. A few days ago, in order to lure out the person behind the scenes, I pretended not to express my opinion, and the Shen family was in chaos again... I was thinking, General Shen wouldn't... feel that he is always wronged and blame me, right?"
At this point, Bo Muxi's expression was quite self-blaming, and his pair of charming eyes stared straight into Shen Zhiyao's eyes.
Shen Zhiyao cursed him in her heart, but she kept smiling: "Your Majesty, how polite is that? Did the Shen family suffer any loss in this matter? Moreover, you gave so many rewards afterwards, so my father must have known about it."
Shen Zhiyao put another piece of honeydew melon in his mouth, then smiled and said, "Besides, if it is really a grievance, it was given by those with ulterior motives. What does it have to do with the emperor?"
Bo Muxi smiled and swallowed the honeydew melon, then said leisurely: "My beloved concubine, it's easy for you to say it, but yesterday, weren't you still resentful towards me? You, who are so close to me, are angry, let alone General Shen?"
"If my father really heard what the emperor said, I'm afraid he would have to punish me severely to make his intentions clear! It is because I am close to the emperor that I have extra emotional needs for you. But my father is your subject. As the saying goes, thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. Others are not entitled to any grievances!"
Shen Zhiyao changed the subject: "Besides, the emperor can be sure that I can understand your intentions in time. My father and you are a good match for each other, so how could he not understand your painstaking efforts?"
