Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 301 The Emperor Admits He Loves Shen Zhinian

Looking more closely, Nian Nian is still the same Nian Nian as before. The glimpse just now seems to be just an illusion.

Hearing her asking him in a slightly jealous tone why he didn't go to Concubine Wen but came to Zhongcui Palace, the emperor couldn't help but smile.

He liked to see that she cared about him.

In his opinion, her jealousy was not jealousy, but cute.

As for other things... the emperor who was able to successfully seize the throne from a group of princes might not really be unable to see through it, but just didn't want to think too deeply...

When you like someone, that person will appear to you as a halo, and you will feel that the person is beautiful no matter how you look at him or her.

He didn't want to break this beauty.

The emperor did not intend to discuss whether Shen Zhinian was jealous in front of so many palace servants. He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ruanzi who was kneeling on the ground: "Why did this servant make Nian Nian unhappy?"

Now it seems that Nangong probably didn't hear what they said, and only saw her sharp eyes just now. Shen Zhinian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether he really ignored it or didn't want to delve into it, since Nangong Xuanyu didn't say that she was different from usual, she would pretend not to know.

But this also reminded Shen Zhinian that she should be careful with her words and actions even in her own bedroom. Otherwise, if Nangong Xuanyu found out one day that she was a sesame-filled glutinous rice dumpling, it would be a bad ending...

"Nothing, just a piece of my jewelry is missing, it's just a routine question."

The emperor frowned and asked coldly, "How could there be such a daring person in Zhongcui Palace?"

"Li Changde, order the Ministry of Punishment to..."

Shen Zhinian grabbed Nangong Xuanyu's arm and shook her head: "Your Majesty, maybe I forgot where I put that jewelry. Maybe I can find it tomorrow. Why bother the Ministry of Punishment to make a fuss?"

"Your Majesty came to see me so late at night. I don't want other things to interfere with our family of three spending time together."

While saying this, Shen Zhinian held Nangong Xuanyu's hand, placed it on her belly, and looked at him with a smile, with stars twinkling in her eyes.

The emperor's Adam's apple rolled, and he could no longer care about anything else. All that was left in his heart was tenderness. It seemed that all the unhappiness he had felt at the celebration banquet had disappeared.

Nanny Xiao and the others were very tactful and took Xiao Ruanzi with them and left.

For Xiao Ruanzi, falling into the hands of the Empress is much better than being interrogated by the Emperor, so he naturally would not take the initiative to expose the truth.

In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the inner room.

I remembered that when Xiao Huizi came to give her red berries, she saw Nian Nian looking sad. But now she seemed fine, except that there was a hint of sadness between her eyebrows.

Are you forcing a smile?

The emperor was unable to explain what happened in the court, so he could only hold Shen Zhinian in his arms: "Niannian, I am actually very happy to see you being jealous of Concubine Wen. Because this lets me know how much you care about me."

"But I still want to tell you, don't be sad because of anyone, they don't deserve it."

"One day, you will understand..."

Shen Zhinian ignored these words.

When Nangong Xuanyu loved her, she was jealous because she cared about him.

But as long as the emperor wants, he can get any beauty in the world. What if one day he doesn't love her anymore?

At that time, her jealousy will be just envy, her face will be distorted and she will lose her original heart.

Isn’t the lesson of Concubine Liu right there?

Thinking this in her heart, Shen Zhinian put her face against the emperor's chest, her voice a little nervous, but with a self-deceiving trust: "As long as your majesty says it, I will believe it. Even if your majesty is just trying to coax me, I will be happy with it..."

If she didn't continue to coax this man, how could she make him fall deeply in love with her and become more and more inclined towards her when she became queen in the future?

Nangong Xuanyu held Shen Zhinian's face and looked into her eyes. Under his sword-like eyebrows, a pair of eyes as deep as a lake stared at her deeply: "You are not kidding."

"I...did not lie to you."

Shen Zhinian sniffed, her voice choking: "I know. I just... I just can't believe it... I have no virtue or ability to receive your majesty's favor..."

"I am tongue-tied and don't know how to express my feelings. I actually want to tell your majesty a story I once read in a storybook."

"The woman knew her lover was lying to her, but she still smiled and drank the poisoned wine he handed over. At that time, I couldn't understand why there were such foolish people in the world. It wasn't until I met Your Majesty that I understood..."

"If one day, Your Majesty hands poison to me, I will eat it willingly with a smile... No wonder the ancients said, 'A man's indulgence can be explained, but a woman's indulgence cannot be explained! 1"

"I know I am stupid, but I cannot control my heart and have fallen deeply in love with Your Majesty..."

Having said this, Shen Zhinian could no longer hold back, and crystal tears fell from her eyes like stars, one by one, beautiful and sad.

Nangong Xuanyu only felt a dull pain in his heart, sweet and distressed. He gently kissed away the tears on her face as if she were a rare treasure: "Niannian, don't say that..."

"I am not a rogue, and I will never let you become the abandoned woman in the poem. You can trust me and love me without any worries; you can also trust me with your true heart. Because... I also like you..."

The temperament developed since childhood made Nangong Xuanyu accustomed to hiding all his emotions in his heart.

He once thought that even if he fell in love with her, he would never say it out loud.

Because an emperor should not tell anyone his weaknesses, not even the weaknesses themselves.

But seeing that she loved him so deeply, and was uneasy about this relationship, tossing and turning, how could he bear it?

Because I couldn't bear it, I wanted to make her feel at ease.

Shen Zhinian snorted in his heart.

She is not a fool, of course she can feel the love of this man.

But if you love someone, you need to say it out loud.

If the emperor didn't say he loved her, how could she become so arrogant and demand more and more?

With this foreshadowing, the following things will be much easier. Even if one day, Nangong Xuanyu discovered the truth that she was Black Heart Lotus, what would happen?

She has found the reasons and excuses.

Why didn't she stop being so careful and cautious? She would ruthlessly fight back against anyone who dared to hurt her? It was the emperor's love that gave her the confidence and capital!

She became like that because he spoiled her, so you can't blame her...

At that time, Nangong Xuanyu had already invested too much emotion in her. If he abandoned her, all his efforts would be in vain. Could he bear to do so?

So, even if he knew her true character, he had to grit his teeth and admit it!
