Stepping briskly into the Qingwan Study, Jiang Chen stopped Feng Jin, who was about to remind Liu Huiyin. He sat down on the stone stool opposite her and said calmly, "I see you looking troubled. Could it be that there are insolent servants bullying you in the palace?"

"If there is such a thing, you can speak frankly, and I will take charge for you!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen's deep, dark eyes swept across the palace maids behind her. The coldness contained within caused their bodies to tremble unconsciously.

Seeing this, Liu Huiyin's pretty face showed nervousness, and she quickly knelt down to deny it, "No, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand!"

"These attendants treat this sinner very well, considerate and respectful, without any offense!"

Although Jiang Chen's tone was not gentle, this caring attitude made Liu Huiyin feel a little touched inside.

In those years in the Censorate, she was locked in a dilapidated side room in the backyard, lacking food and clothing, and no one cared about her at all. This long-lost concern made her feel much better about the emperor, and she was not so resistant to what was to come.

After hearing the explanation, Jiang Chen frowned even tighter, "If that's the case, why did you show such a sorrowful expression just now? Does serving me make you so miserable?!"

Although Jiang Chen's tone was calm, the hidden anger made everyone present tremble!

As the 'fuse', Liu Huiyin's delicate body trembled even more from this astonishing aura, and she didn't even dare to look up. Lowering her eyelashes, she said, "Your Majesty, this sinner, this sinner doesn't mean that. It's just that being in the deep palace, I'm worried about the safety of my family, that's why I look sad!"

"Being able to have the opportunity to enter the palace and accompany Your Majesty is a blessing that this sinner has cultivated for three lifetimes. I'm afraid I won't have time to cherish it, so how could I feel miserable? I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

Jiang Chen looked at the trembling Liu Huiyin, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

But it was immediately hidden again, pretending to be indifferent, "If that's the case, why don't you look up at me? You know, I came here tonight not to chat with you."

As the emperor, Jiang Chen didn't really care what Liu Huiyin was thinking.

Whether she was willing or not, from the moment she caught his eye, Liu Huiyin's ending was already doomed. The reason why he played these little tricks with her was just a kind of fun.

In other words, rather than forcing her with power, Jiang Chen preferred to win her heart, making the woman cooperate willingly.

Liu Huiyin had been raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and was banned after she got married. She had not experienced much of the world, and could not see Jiang Chen's purpose at all.

She simply thought that the emperor's indifference was because he was dissatisfied with her performance, and immediately disregarded her shyness, and boldly said, "This sinner, this sinner knows that tonight I will wholeheartedly serve Your Majesty."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he said in a forceful tone, "If that's the case, what are you still kneeling for? Come here, come to my side!"

"Yes, this sinner obeys Your Majesty's orders." Liu Huiyin's pretty face flushed, and she bit her red lips lightly, walking to Jiang Chen's side.

Her steps were graceful, and her demeanor was dignified, but her soft and slender waist was like a small hook, tempting people to play with it, making Jiang Chen unable to take his eyes off her.

Although she didn't deliberately seduce him, Liu Huiyin's demureness as a lady of a great family, and her tall and plump figure, did arouse desire. This contradictory temperament made people want to tear off those annoying skirts immediately and…

Jiang Chen looked at Liu Huiyin with dark eyes. After she came to his side, he gave Feng Jin, who was standing by, a look.

Feng Jin immediately understood.

He quietly led away all the palace people present, and thoughtfully closed the gate of the main hall, leaving the space to Jiang Chen.

Listening to the sound of the gate closing, Liu Huiyin's heart was beating nervously, almost jumping out of her throat.

She wasn't a little girl, so she naturally knew what Jiang Chen's eyes and the empty room represented.

But, but now… wasn't it too fast?

Although she had made up her mind to submit, when the time came, her family's past teachings resurfaced in her mind, making her entangled and hesitant.

Seeing her discomfort, Jiang Chen casually brought up a topic, "Do you think the palace is better, or the Censorate is better?"

Liu Huiyin's delicate body oozed fine sweat, "The palace is the residence of the True Dragon, naturally the best place in the world."

Jiang Chen nodded and said forcefully, "Then you will live here from now on, in the Qingwan Study, how about it?"

Liu Huiyin's breathing stagnated, and her eyelashes flickered uneasily.

After a few breaths, she bit her red lips and knelt down to thank him, "This sinner is at Your Majesty's disposal."

"It's just, it's just that this sinner and Zhang Kang are husband and wife after all. I'm afraid that if it spreads out, it will damage Your Majesty's reputation."

Jiang Chen laughed loudly, pulled her up from the ground, and hugged her in his arms, brooking no argument, "I am the Emperor of Great Wei, who dares to gossip?!"

"Moreover, I have made arrangements for this matter in advance. Your household registration has already been moved out of Zhang Kang's place. That is to say, you two are already divorced! The laws of Great Wei do not prohibit remarriage, so don't worry!"

Liu Huiyin's pretty face was filled with surprise when she heard this.

This nominal marriage with Zhang Kang had always been a knot in her heart.

The Liu family had a clean reputation and was a family of scholars. If she was ridiculed for her affair with the emperor, making her parents and brothers unable to hold their heads high, Liu Huiyin would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

As for Zhang Kang, this man first used and tortured her in every possible way, and later committed the great crime of treason, implicating her and the entire Liu clan. Liu Huiyin wished she could kill this villain with her own hands, so naturally she would not hesitate to submit to the emperor.

A glimmer of hope flashed in her beautiful eyes, and Liu Huiyin ignored the restless big hand on her body and pleaded, "Your Majesty, this sinner has a request, and I hope you can agree."

Jiang Chen's movements paused, and the wandering big hand stopped at a plump spot, and said lightly, "An unreasonable request? Could it be that you still have feelings for that Zhang Kang? Want to plead for him with me?"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen's tone gradually became cold.

Liu Huiyin's pretty face panicked, and she quickly explained, "Your Majesty, this sinner has no such intention! That Zhang Kang deceived me and humiliated me, how could I have any feelings for him?"

Seeing her urgent attitude and not pretending, Jiang Chen eased his expression and said, "If that's the case, what do you want to ask me for?"

A trace of coldness flashed in Liu Huiyin's beautiful eyes, and she pleaded, "Your Majesty, what this sinner wants to ask you is, when that traitor Zhang Kang is executed, can you allow this sinner to go and watch?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen sat up straight subconsciously, his eyes full of surprise.

He really didn't expect this request!

Liu Huiyin seemed to know that her request was a bit shocking, and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, when this sinner was young, my parents taught me, 'How can you repay virtue with resentment?'"

"Although this sinner and Zhang Kang were once husband and wife, he never treated me as a wife, and even after my father helped him open up his official career, he repaid kindness with enmity and imprisoned me. In light of all this, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is my enemy!"

"Therefore, this sinner wants to see him die with her own eyes to calm the resentment in my heart!"

As she spoke, a pair of charming danfeng eyes were already filled with tears, obviously agitated to the extreme.

She came out of Jiang Chen's arms and knelt down…
