Looking at Shen Qi's conflicted expression, Duke Xian sighed in his heart. He didn't know how this wangfei was raised, but even though she had a calm expression, the wariness in her eyes would inadvertently surface. Maybe she didn't even notice it herself.

He also knew that the two of them were not familiar with each other, especially when his wife misunderstood him. However, he also knew his mother well, if he let her know that they were not sleeping with each other, she might immediately bestow a beautiful maid to serve him in the King's Mansion.

Even though he still couldn't say whether he liked Shen Qi or not, he knew that since he had already married her, he should give her the respect that he deserved. After all, he had wronged her quite a bit previously, and since he had decided to do so, he shouldn't let her push him too far away before their relationship had calmed down.

However, he couldn't say those words to her. He could only helplessly sigh and say, "Why are you still standing there?" There was no hint of happiness or anger in the voice, but Shen Qi was sensitive to his discontent.

Shen Qi was helpless, she followed Prince Duan into the house and dismissed the servants, leaving only the two of them in the house. The atmosphere was cold, and Shen Qi could not stand the quietness, so she asked: "Does the Duke want to rest?"

Although King Xian was smiling at her, the estrangement and indifference on her body was imprinted in her bones. Her smiling face and eyes were very pleasing to the eye. She thought that she was easy to get along with, but it was actually the hardest thing to move her heart.

With King Duanren's countless of people, it was still possible to tell what Shen Qi's true personality was. This kind of person could get along well with anyone, but no one could enter her heart, and it was actually the coldest.

He hated women, so why was there a need to cry? He hated families that were always making a fuss out of nothing, he believed that Shen Qi would not do that. She was smart enough to know what was the best choice for him, and that was enough.

However, it wasn't as if his own wangfei was always on guard against him, even if she was concealing it well. King Xian rarely dealt with women, so he didn't know how to deal with them. Thus, he chose a high level method, which was a form of command.

"There are two beds in the room. The one in the room belongs to This King, while the rest belongs to you. For the time being, this will do." With that, King Duan called for someone to bring water for him to bathe in.

Shen Qi felt that this was pretty good. In fact, when she entered, she discovered that there was an extra bed in the room, as well as her dressing table. The things on top were all present, even more complete than what she usually used.

The Cang Lan Yuan's room was very big, there were two beds in it, on one side there was a soft couch, and it was not very crowded either. The only difference was that the huge moving bed was replaced with two smaller ones, between the two beds was separated by a small bedside table.

Opposite them were two large wardrobe and a mercury full-length mirror. On the other side, there was an exquisite dressing table. The whole layout of the house was quite modern, except for the furniture which had a sense of time.

After solving the problem of sleeping, Shen Qi was very satisfied. She was still not old enough, and Duke Xiang's body had not recovered either. If she slept separately on the bed, it would not arouse anyone's interest, even the empress dowager could not say that it was bad.

Furthermore, she had slept for the entire day and was still in high spirits. In the ancient times, there were no other entertainment activities, only books.

Although he had been lying in bed for a long time and had not lost his figure, when Shen Qi saw this, he felt as if he had entered the second phase. This perfect ratio, this handsome appearance, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like it was an attack on the abdomen, so cute that your face was covered in blood.

Shen Qi felt that marrying this kind of man was not bad. At least her looks and figure was good enough.

When Duke Yuan came out, he also saw the relaxed Shen Qi on the soft couch, and calmly looked around. He noticed that his mother had good eyes, and even the two Queen's Consort s she chose were of good colour, although one of them had already left before entering the door.

Even though he hadn't reached his prime yet, he had already grown up, just that he was too thin. This made Duke Xian a bit dissatisfied; he had a hidden obsession, which was that he liked chubby women.

However, it didn't matter. She was still young, and could get fatter with time!

The officials in the court finally let out a sigh of relief when the news of King Xian's awakening spread out. Not only was the emperor's expression unsightly, but he was also a guardian of the imperial court.

Outside, there was a King Rui who was staring at the chair under the Emperor's butt like a tiger. Even though the Emperor had the ability to rule over the country, he could not help but have a headache facing this kind of internal trouble.

No, it should be the imperial concubine. He actually allowed her to leave the palace to support him, and even bestowed him with a feudal fiefdom, ordering them to immediately head over to the feudal fiefdom. This is so that they could quickly escape while the emperor hasn't slowed down yet.

Now that the King Rui was not properly staying in his feudal fiefdom, causing trouble everywhere, delusional thinking about his dragon throne, messing up his court, the Emperor really hated the King Rui and resented his father for giving him everything.

Just for the sake of that so called true love, royal father fell for the righteousness of the nation, but even when he knew that the King Rui was plotting to usurp the throne, he was still unwilling to punish him. To put it nicely, he had to be exiled to a feudal fiefdom, never to enter the capital ever again.

The King Rui's fief was located in the northwest city of Liangcheng. Although Liangcheng was not as prosperous as Jiangnan Fishy and Shuixiang, it was still considered the richest place in the entire northwest, and it was also located in a fortified war fortress. It was a place that connected the barbarians to the Mo Country.

Every time the Emperor thought of the King Rui, he could not help but clench his teeth and feel hatred in his heart. He hated his royal father for treating him so ruthlessly, saying that the Emperor was heartless, and that his father was not heartless.

On the second day after he woke up, King Xian had quietly entered the palace. He was waiting in the imperial study for the emperor to descend. When the Qian Emperor found out that King Duanren had entered the palace, he rushed towards the imperial study.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, King Duanren stood up calmly and tidied up his clothes. When he saw the Emperor enter, he cupped his hands together and greeted, "Greetings, Imperial Brother!"

The emperor helped Duke Xian up, examining his expression. Seeing that his face was still pale, he could not help but ask, "Jing Ze, is your body alright?"

"Don't worry royal brother, everything is fine." Initially, his mother was busy dealing with the Consort De and did not have the time to take care of him. His royal brother had taught him everything, so their relationship was very deep. Furthermore, there was a difference of ten years between the two of them.

"Ten days ago." King Duanren did not conceal anything. He knew that after such a thing happened, his Imperial Brother would have definitely guessed that he had already woken up.

"So you mean when your little princess hasn't come in yet?" When the emperor looked at his younger brother, he was quite tolerant. He even managed to dupe his younger brother into getting married in such a manner.

King Duanren rolled his eyes at his imperial brother, who wanted to see his face change. He could tell what his imperial brother was thinking just by looking at his expression, so he changed the topic. "What are you going to do with those people from yesterday?"

Yesterday, after Prince Xian had finished his interrogation, he had sent his men to the Imperial Palace and handed them over to the Emperor, along with a group of people he had captured in a residential area in the outskirts of the capital.

Thinking about those people, the emperor's eyes became cold. However, looking at King Xian's appearance, his eyes became cold. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Leave this to brother Jing. You should recuperate in the mansion." After saying that, she looked at him guiltily, "Don't do that anymore, I won't be able to sit still after risking my life in the future." In the end, even I came out.

King Xian was somewhat touched, but still maintained his expressionless face. "In the future, I won't. It's Jing Ze's fault for making royal brother worry."

Emperor Qian sighed. "Imperial Mother is very worried about you as well. I'll go to the Tzu Ning Palace to see Imperial Mother in a bit."

"Chendi understands." Even if the emperor didn't say, he would still make a trip to the Tzu Ning Palace, so he said this happily.

Then the emperor began to tease the late emperor again. He changed his expression and asked with a smile, "Are you satisfied with the wangfei that royal brother gave you? I heard mother say she's a little beauty." The pronunciation was emphasized on the small characters.

King Xian was too lazy to bother with him. After all, he had no interest in talking about his imperial concubine in front of others, not even if it was his own imperial brother. Then, he ignored the Qian Emperor's shouts and turned to leave.
