Almost instantly, Shui Ruo realized that this person was not looking for him. He turned to ask the man beside him.

Hearing this, the man's expression became cold as he nodded.

"Then, I'll leave first." Shui spoke unhurriedly and was about to leave. However, before she could take two steps forward, she was stopped by the man. "Stay behind and listen. You are not an outsider."

Shock, absolute shock. Shui Long had lived for a long time, but this was the first time someone had used such a tone to tell her that she was not an outsider when they had just met.

At this moment, aside from being moved, Shui Ruo truly had no other thoughts.

"Your highness, your subordinate is incompetent and unable to protect your highness, causing your highness to fall into the tiger's lair. Please punish me, your highness." On the ground, the man in black suddenly spoke. His words gave Shui Long a lot of fright.

Prince? Tiger cave? There was too much information hidden in those words.

"This has nothing to do with you. It was the crown prince and the ninth king that planned this king's life. They wanted this king to die on the hunting grounds. This King's survival is already a blessing from the heavens. " The man's voice was cold and indifferent.

"Prince is merciful." The person kneeling on the ground said gratefully when he saw that the man didn't blame him.

"Compared to this, get someone to prepare a substitute and have it stay in the palace for the time being. Tell the outside world that This King is gravely ill and cannot be seen." Before the kneeling man could be completely moved, the man's voice sounded once again.

"Your Highness? You're not going back? " The kneeling man was surprised.

When the man heard this, he glanced at Shui Long, who was still digesting the fact that his husband was a prince. A hint of a smile appeared on his rarely seen expression. "I'm not going back. This king intends to be his son-in-law here." Cough cough! " The kneeling man was shocked and coughed up the blood that he had not vomited. Staring at Shui Long with eyes wide open in disbelief, they looked back at their prince, only to feel that the entire world had been turned upside down. Everyone knew that the Cold-Faced Prince actually smiled. Furthermore, he wanted to be the son-in-law of a merchant?

Am I abnormal, or is the prince abnormal?

Of course, those who were kneeling did not dare to ask these questions. After hearing the man's orders, they hurriedly went to do things.

After the man in black left, the man looked towards the water beside him and asked, "Do you have anything you want to ask me?"

"Yes, a lot of questions." Shui looked at the man with a stern expression.

"Then, ask away." A rare smile appeared on the man's face. Eternal Water felt much more relaxed as she looked at him. In the struggle for power in the empire, he was always tense between brothers. No matter who it was, he could not let go of his heart. He never provoked women because he didn't want to see his backyard being quarreled over by the other brothers every day. He also never accepted the women that were sent to him, because those women, who knew which day, they might stab you.

Shui Ruo was the first woman he had ever been close to besides his mufei. This woman caused him to feel at ease. If possible, he hoped that he could truly marry her and become an imperial concubine.

Compared to the man's attitude, Shui Long was extremely conflicted at this moment. He looked at the man and asked, "You … are you the prince?"

"Yes." The man's reply was very calm. However, with these words, he directly sentenced the man to death in a long period of time. Inviting the Emperor's son to be his son-in-law? How many heads did she have for beheading?

When he thought of being executed, Shui Yuehan truly wanted to cry.

"How many sons of the Emperor are you?" Water continued to ask.

"Amongst my brothers, I am ranked third." The man replied with the same calmness. As he finished his sentence, he even touched the water on his head.

At this moment, Shui Ruo wanted to cry even more. This person was none other than the Third Marquis, Night Emperor. The Third Marquis who had done countless meritorious deeds and was praised as the most suitable Emperor by the ministers!

"Cough!" One last question. " Shui Long changed his previous attitude and said in a serious tone.

"Yes, go ahead." The man was calm.

"Can I go back on my word and throw you out?"

Shui Long asked, looking at the man with a serious expression.

The man calmly shook his head and said, "No."

These words were simply adding fuel to the fire. He couldn't be chased away, and he couldn't allow others to find out about his identity. To be honest, if she let him leave, it would be very troublesome. The seven branch family members that she had sent out just now would immediately come back to get her to hand over the Shui family's rights if they knew that he had left. But he didn't leave? She believed that when everyone found out that he was her son-in-law, the Emperor would quickly send his army over to demand that she hand over her head.

He was in a dilemma.

"No one will know about This King." The man looked at Shui Ruo and slowly said.

"Hmm? "Why?" The water flowed slowly, not understanding.

Then, he saw the Night Emperor say with a smile, "Because this king always wears a mask when I am outside. Therefore, other than brother, no one knows what my face looks like."

"So that's how it is!" Water came to a realization.

Seeing that Shui Ruo understood, the man nodded and said: "That's it, so as long as you don't run into my brothers, nothing will happen."

After listening to the Night Emperor's explanation, Shui Ruo finally understood. However, was this really okay? Let the dignified prince become her son-in-law?

She wasn't naive enough to eat a pie that had fallen from the sky. Looking at the Night Emperor, Shui You's expression returned to normal and asked, "What is your purpose in helping me?"

"To repay the debt of gratitude." The Night Emperor's thin lips parted as he faintly spat out these two words.

"Is that really the case?" Water did not believe it.

"Marry you."

Night Emperor Xiu spat out the word again. Shui Long's face turned red upon hearing this. It wasn't the first time someone had confessed to her, but for some reason, the moment the person in front of her said it, his heart would beat faster.

"What do you mean?" Shui Ruo asked, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

"When you finish what you want to do, I'll marry you and make you my wangfei!" Night Emperor Xiu's tone was light, but his words were loud and powerful.

Shui Yuehan's heart beat even faster when he heard this. Looking at the man, she finally nodded her head out of nowhere. "Alright, after you finish what I want to do for you, I'll be your wangfei."

The woman's reply was not meek, nor was it wild with joy, only sincerity. Staring at the water, the man felt a sense of absent-mindedness. He even had the feeling that this woman was the greatest goal of his life.

Of course, this feeling only lasted for a moment.

"By the way, I haven't told you what I'm going to do, have I?"
