It's over.
Ling Shan glanced at the nearly empty dishes on the round table, forced a smile on her lips, and quickly followed up.
She didn't know what new way this tyrant dog had come up with to chop off her head and use it as flower fertilizer. He was just waiting to punish her.
Ling Shan cursed silently in her heart, but on the surface, she followed respectfully behind.
After leaving the Taiji Palace, they walked on the palace path where darkness and light intertwined.
Her gaze couldn't help but gradually fall on the tall and straight figure in front of her.
If one only looked at his face and figure, this tyrant dog was quite attractive.
At least, he was no less charming than the male gods she had seen.
It was just a pity that...
Ling Shan was secretly sizing up his broad - shouldered and narrow - waisted back, silently complaining in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Jun Wuyuan suddenly turned around and looked at her. She quickly lowered her eyes and stopped.
Liang Jiusi was quite surprised and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ling Shan. He almost bumped into the emperor who suddenly stopped.
Jun Wuyuan gave Liang Jiusi a cold look, then his eyes fell on Ling Shan, who was secretly looking at him with a shy look in her eyes.
[Under the moonlit flowers, the little maid sent by that old witch Wang is really trying to seduce me. (Humph)]
Ling Shan: "?"
Jun Wuyuan sneered in his heart, then strode towards the imperial garden.
Liang Jiusi's heart skipped a beat. He didn't dare to be distracted anymore. He quickly urged Ling Shan to follow up with his eyes.
The attendants didn't get the emperor's permission, so they followed far behind. Ling Shan felt even more uneasy when she saw this.
In the imperial garden at night, even with the moonlight and candlelight, it was covered with a hazy beauty, but Ling Shan had no mood to appreciate it.
Jun Wuyuan stopped. He stood like a tall bamboo by the dim winding pond, silent.
Liang Jiusi was confused, but he didn't dare to look at Jun Wuyuan, who was exuding coldness, any more. He respectfully waited on one side.
Receiving another cold look from the emperor, Liang Jiusi retreated aggrievedly and pushed Ling Shan, who was trying to act stupid, in front of the emperor.
Ling Shan secretly cursed Liang Jiusi, who looked kind but was actually cruel, in her heart again, but on the surface, she lowered her head more respectfully.
Jun Wuyuan coldly glanced at Ling Shan's more fair and delicate face in the night, then stared at the dim lake surface again without saying a word.
[Did that old witch pick a blockhead? On such a dark and windy night, with just a man and a woman, if it were me and I wanted to achieve my goal, I would have pushed the person down first...]
Ling Shan's heart skipped a beat.
She almost couldn't control herself and looked up, but in her heart, she was speculating what he meant.
[As soon as she makes a move, the good things in my pond are just hungry. Since she can't be used as flower fertilizer, feeding the fish seems good too.]
Ling Shan: "!"
She was a girl from a good family. How could she casually seduce someone?
Even though her life was in danger now and she had to follow the Queen Mother Wang's order to seduce Jun Wuyuan and give birth to a prince, Ling Shan didn't want to.
A 'former master' who would threaten her with poison and didn't treat her as a human being, no matter how adaptable Ling Shan was, she didn't want to be a pawn for the rest of her life.
Even Jun Wuyuan, who was equally blood - thirsty, was more pleasing to Ling Shan's eyes than the Queen Mother Wang.
At least, knowing that her motives were impure and her origin was hostile, Ling Shan was still alive and scolding here.
Although her head was still in great danger, Ling Shan couldn't blame him. She just couldn't help but scold him as a tyrant dog in her heart.
[Tsk, still not moving? My fish are getting angry and it's time to fill their bellies.]
Ling Shan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know if it was just her illusion, but she always felt that the next moment she would really fall into the water and become the fish's meal.
Jun Wuyuan turned around and locked his eyes on Ling Shan.
"Come here."
With this simple and cold order, Jun Wuyuan stepped towards the darker part of the pond.
Ling Shan's body subconsciously obeyed, but countless scenes of murder and body - dumping flashed through her mind.
The more she thought, the more confused she became. After subconsciously following, from the top of her hair to the tips of her toes, she had an impulse to run away.
Even, Ling Shan secretly glanced at the lake and thought: If she really died, could she go back?
"Ah——"
[This stupid thing doesn't know the danger!]
Suddenly, a tall figure took a step back and blocked in front of Ling Shan. She looked up in surprise.
A beautiful figure had drawn a beautiful parabola in her surprised eyes.
With a splash, the delicate voice turned into a panicked scream in just a moment.
Before Ling Shan could take a closer look, the pool water seemed to surge instantly, as if there was a struggle.
There was also a sound like gobbling. She froze on the spot.
Just then, Jun Wuyuan turned around and looked over.
By the dim pond, his handsome face couldn't hide the gloomy killing intent that he hadn't had time to put away. Ling Shan was so scared that her hands and feet were frozen in place.
[It's a pity. The fish are full.]
"Scared?"
Ling Shan tightly pinched her palm and tried her best to keep a calm and respectful expression as she replied:
"Your Majesty, this slave has night blindness and didn't see anything. This slave is not scared."
[Humph, full of lies. This dull blockhead sent by the old witch is quite good at telling lies with open eyes.]
Ling Shan: "......"
You're the dull blockhead!
Your whole family is!
"Then come closer and take a good look." Jun Wuyuan was quite 'kind'.
[Going into the lake to take a look in person will be even clearer.]
Ling Shan knelt down with a thud and hid the fierce light in her eyes:
"Your Majesty, please make a fair judgment. This slave admires Your Majesty's noble appearance and imperial authority, but this slave is timid and doesn't dare to desecrate Your Majesty's holy face."
[Sure enough, she's quite good at telling lies with open eyes.]
Ling Shan didn't dare to move.
She even dared not take this 'remark' as praise from the tyrant. After waiting for a long time and not 'hearing' any movement, a gust of cold wind blew, making her back feel cold.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Ling Shan was highly nervous. She was almost driven crazy. It seemed that she was the only one left in the whole world.
After waiting for a while longer, Ling Shan felt sweat break out on her temples.
Die if you must.
She gritted her teeth and quietly turned her head to take a look.
He's gone?
Ling Shan slumped on the ground for a while, feeling weak all over. Cursing in her heart, she returned to the bamboo house in the back hall of the Taiji Palace.
"Back?"
Yang Qiyuan didn't know when she had appeared behind Ling Shan. Ling Shan's just - calmed heart suddenly tightened again.
"This slave pays respects to Nanny Yang. Thank you, Nanny, for your concern."
"The emperor said that you will serve him to change clothes early tomorrow morning. Go to bed early."
Ling Shan thanked her and agreed. After bowing and watching Yang Qiyuan return to the house, her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs all started to ache.
What a lousy life.
Let her wake up and find that this is just a dream.
Ling Shan fell asleep in a daze and had a dream.
In the dream, she flirted with Jun Wuyuan. Just as she touched the corner of his clothes, she was kicked into the lake.
A strange fish with a big mouth in the lake bit at her...
Ling Shan woke up with a start from the dream and shouted.
"Ah, no——"
