"Thank you for your hesitation! This meant that there was at least a shred of reluctance left in your heart, and that was enough! "Mu Yan, please believe that no matter what, I will guarantee your safety. Please give me time, not long, one year is enough, I will make you feel all my love!" This was the first time he had fallen in love with a woman so thoroughly. For the sake of this woman, he had even betrayed the world …
Perhaps it was because reality was too helpless, or perhaps it was because her words of love were too gentle, Duan Muyan actually did not struggle out of Shen Han's embrace, allowing him to hug her for a long time. One day, when Shen Hansheng stepped onto the road of no return for her, Duan Mu Yan would regret it even more. Her fault was that she had given Shen Hansheng hope from the start, even if it was only a tiny bit!
After Duan Mu Yan left, Shen Han Sheng was still immersed in the embrace from earlier. Suddenly, his unfathomable eyes turned cold as he subconsciously looked out the window.
"Since when did the Palace Master of the Moon Palace start such a ruckus!" As Shen Hansheng spoke, he slowly sat down on his chair. At almost the same time, the piercing Hong Chang appeared in front of Shen Hansheng.
"Long time no see. Why are your words so unpleasant to hear? I, the Palace Chief, have come thousands of miles away to see you!" The bewitching beauty was still unblemished. Shangguan Wuye smiled seductively, and with a flick of his sleeve, he had a cup of tea in his hand as he started to drink it.
"When the King of Japan was in the inn, he did not have such good intentions!" Shen Hansheng disapproved, casting a sidelong glance at his bad friend. Every time he saw Shangguan Wuye's exaggerated beauty, Shen Hansheng couldn't help but want to carve that face out of his own. It was clear that a man was like a woman, and was truly sinful.
"Didn't I wanted to create an opportunity for you? If I knew earlier, I would have sent Duan Mu Yan back to the Badlands Court, so that you wouldn't act so rashly here." Shangguan Wuye set down his teacup and looked at Shen Hansheng with a profound look.
"What do you mean?" Shen Hansheng's sword-like eyebrows twitched as he asked despite knowing the answer.
"Do you really want to offend the Xia Hou clan prematurely for that girl?" "This doesn't seem to be a wise decision …" Shangguan Wuye went straight to the point and spoke with sincerity.
"The most unwise thing for This King to do is to have such a bad friend like you!" Shen Hansheng tried to change the topic.
"I'm serious!" Shangguan Wuye was speechless.
"I'm serious too!" Shen Hansheng's eyes were filled with sincerity as he looked at Shangguan Wuye. Speechless, Shangguan Wuye was about to go berserk, but he was stopped by Shen Hansheng.
"You can't just let me marry that Xia Hou Yuying, right? Perhaps, before the time comes, it is imperative that we do so! " Shen Hansheng returned to the main topic at hand. As he spoke, a cold glint gradually appeared in the depths of his eyes. Shangguan Wuye sat back down upon hearing the sound and heaved a long sigh.
"Isn't this your previous plan? Isn't it just a wedding? It's not like you plan to let her sit in the position of wangfei for a long time. When everything's done, just give up." Shangguan Wuye didn't mind.
"There is only one wangfei, but it is not Xia Hou Yuying!" Shen Hansheng resolutely said. The curve of his lips indicated his determination.
"I knew you would say that, but you must think carefully. Once you offend Xia Hou Manor, your situation will become dangerous. Don't mention Shen Hanxin who is eyeing you covetously, even your father is …" Before Shangguan Wuye could finish, he was stopped by Shen Hansheng.
"He is not worthy to be my royal father!" Shen Hansheng spoke coldly, his eyes were as cold as ice.
"Actually... You still don't have conclusive evidence for what happened that year. Maybe it wasn't what you thought it was. " Shangguan Wuye was powerless to speak, but the figure that had been hidden deep in his heart for so many years suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
"If we can never find evidence, then won't someone have to take responsibility for the deaths of mufei and Wuya?" When he mentioned Wuya, Shangguan Wuye's handsome face turned into ice. His heart, he suddenly felt pain, perhaps Shen Hansheng was right, regardless of if there was evidence or not, there was only one truth.
"What are you going to do?" Shangguan Wuye no longer retorted, and only spoke lightly, his eyes gradually growing dimmer.
If I can't, once he makes a move, then this king will naturally take on my attack as well. Although Xia Hou Bo has control over half of the troops in the south of the country, most of the military generals close to the imperial city have already returned to this king's grasp, so it is unknown who will still be able to smile until the end if they truly fight! "" That's right, that's right. Shen Hansheng's voice had a hint of coldness to it, the kingly aura emanating from his body was enough to burn people's eyes.
"What about Shen Hanxin? "How do you live?" Shangguan Wuye asked casually.
"Him? Other than doing a little thing to curry favor with royal father, what else can he do? " Shen Hansheng disapproved.
"Don't underestimate this third brother of yours, don't forget Gui Luosha. I've already investigated him for you and his subordinates are all scum among the scum of the martial arts world. With these kind of people as his accomplices, it won't be easy to deal with them!" Shangguan Wuye said solemnly.
"Don't we still have the Moon Flower Palace? I have nothing to worry about …" Shen Hansheng did not agree with it, but Shangguan Wuye was speechless and choked on his words.
"Cough, cough …" "It's getting late, you should get some rest …" While Shangguan Wuye was speaking, Hong Chang flashed, and disappeared into the night, and in the next second after he left, a cold voice resounded in Shen Han Sheng's ears.
"Rest assured, the Moon Palace will dig the best grave for those scum!" His lips pursed into a slight smile. Shen Hansheng knew Shangguan Wuye would do that, not for himself, but for his little sister Shen Wuya.
In the main hall of Xia Hou Manor.
"What?" Three months? Isn't Shen Hansheng going too far? Do you see that Meng Yan? " A cold light flashed through her beautiful eyes. Xia Hou Yu stood up, his eyes full of anger.
"Not only that, Han Sheng is also showing great concern for her!" Xia Hou Yuying had a face full of resentment and she spoke out in grievance.
"Shen Hansheng doesn't put the Xia family in his eyes at all. Now that the emperor has decreed it, he actually wants to shove them aside and even make eye contact with other women. What busy government, that's simply an excuse!" "Brother Wang, say something …" Xia Hou Yu looked at Xia Hou Yuying and then turned his gaze towards Xia Hou Bo, who had not spoken for a long time.
"Say what? If they don't want to, do they want me to put a knife to his neck? " There was no sound of joy or anger in the deep voice. Xia Hou Bo was sitting upright and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Brother Wang, Ying'er went today, if you go tomorrow, the result will definitely be different. Don't tell me that you really want Han Wangfei's position to be taken by Meng Yan. If that's the case, how do you want Ying'er to meet people in the future?" Xia Hou Yu said bitterly.
"What kind of person is this Meng Yan that you all are talking about? Can she really cause King Han to ignore the imperial edict? "He failed to live up to Ying'er?" Xia Hou Bo disapproved. In his eyes, Shen Hansheng definitely wasn't someone who didn't care about the bigger picture. Unless...
"Ying`er greets Miss Meng Yan. She is indeed a celestial beauty that cannot be compared with Ying`er." Xia Hou Yuying said with a lonely face, her eyes filled with mist.
"Ying'er, why did you raise the morale of others and extinguish your own might? It's not like I haven't seen that Meng Yan before, she's just average. That bitch must be the same as Liu Yu'er, using some seductive technique to enchant Shen Hansheng!" Xia Hou Yu said contemptuously, his eyes full of disdain.
"If she is truly a beauty capable of toppling empires, I am not worried, I am afraid … There is another secret behind this, and this matter cannot be rushed. Let me think about it, before I thoroughly investigate it, you must not act rashly! " He stood up and left the main hall.
"What happened to royal father? If I had suffered even the slightest bit in the past, would I have rushed out to seek justice for me? " Xia Hou Yu's eyes shined as he asked in confusion.
"That's strange, isn't it just one Meng Yan? What's there to think about? As long as Brother Wang can send out any of 'Blood Swallow', he will be able to get rid of her without anyone noticing. Do you need to think for that long?" Xia Hou Yu also felt it was strange.
"Aunt, what do we do now? Looking at Han Sheng's expression, the wedding date is definitely three months away. I'm afraid after three months, he and that slut will even have children. Xia Hou Yu's red lips slightly pouted. Just thinking of the scene when Shen Hansheng held Duan Mu Yan caused the jealousy in her heart to rage like a venomous snake.
"Aunt has an idea, but I'm not sure if you can make up your mind!" Xia Hou Yu's gaze gradually became cold, and her cherry lips curved up in a way that would cause chills to run down one's spine.
"As long as you can get me to marry Han Sheng, Ying'er is willing to do anything!"
"'Blood Swallow' has always been only looking at the plate. If you can steal Brother Wang's plate, it will be very difficult for Meng Yan to live." Xia Houyu lightly said, but the killing intent in her voice was enough to send chills down one's spine.
"Really?" If royal father finds out about this, it would be terrible! " Xia Hou Yuying frowned when she heard this. This was no small matter. On the day this incident occurred, she didn't even know what kind of scolding she would be scolded by his father.
"Silly girl, you are your royal father's flesh and blood. No matter how angry he is, what can he do to you? You aren't going to watch your husband and other women have a midnight snack, are you? " Not only did he want to make Xia Hou Yuying happy, he even wanted to show Shen Hansheng who he was. He had the guts to save a person from his hands, but he also had a way to make that person disappear in front of him. Xia Hou Yu, who had always been a strong and vengeful person, never learned to leave a path for himself.
"But …" Xia Hou Yuying was still hesitant.
"If you are unwilling, then aunty has no other choice. You better take care of yourself." Xia Houyu sighed lightly and then paced away from the main hall. Only Xia Hou Yuying was left in the main hall. It wasn't that she wasn't moved by Xia Hou Yu's suggestion, but she had no idea that Xia Hou Yu would recklessly send out his blood goose.
The night was as dark as ink, the sparse stars emitted a faint light that illuminated the lonely land, the surroundings were completely silent, Xia Hou Yuying seemed to have lost her soul as she walked into her room, the candle flame ignited for a moment, Xia Hou Yuying suddenly shook, and the faint blue light of her gown became even weirder and weirder compared to the candlelight.
"Do you think this is the Mu King Manor and come just because you say so?" Xia Hou Yu's eyes were ice-cold. She was not surprised by Shen Hanxin's sudden visit, but more than that, she was disgusted with him.
