Shen Jue suddenly felt a chill run down his back.
His legs subconsciously pressed together slightly.
“Wanwan!” Shen Jue immediately raised three fingers, his handsome face full of seriousness—his survival instincts fully activated at that moment.
“My heart and my entire being in this life belong only to you! Other women in my eyes are nothing but pink skeletons! I find it disgusting even to look at them a second time—it would dirty my eyes!”
Seeing his oath-like, alarmed expression, Su Hewan couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
She extended her fair little hand and, like soothing a ruffled cat, gently patted Shen Jue’s broad shoulder, saying earnestly, “Good boy.”
Shen Jue’s gaze fell onto that soft, boneless-looking hand, and the panic in his eyes instantly faded.
A shift stirred in his dark pupils—something shadowed and dangerous.
“Good boy?”
He repeated the words in a low, hoarse voice. Suddenly, he swept an arm around her and lifted her up horizontally.
In an instant, the world spun, and Su Hewan was already pinned beneath him on the soft bed.
Shen Jue propped himself up on both sides of her, looking down at her with an overwhelming presence. Deep in his eyes, it felt like a raging fire had been ignited.
He leaned down, his thin lips brushing lightly against her ear, his voice husky beyond measure:
“Since my dear husband has been so obedient, then tonight… you must hold on until the end, Your Royal Consort.”
“Shen Jue, you bastard!”
Su Hewan paled in shock and immediately pushed at his chest. “You said the same thing this morning! My waist still hurts!”
“Is that so? Then let your husband massage it for you…”
The man chuckled softly, not giving her any chance to resist.
A storm of heated kisses fell over her.
The night wind brushed against the window lattice, concealing the lingering intimacy within the room.
In a daze, Su Hewan closed her eyes in despair.
【This damn dog of a man! When it comes to this kind of thing, he never listens to me at all! I don’t have any say whatsoever! Ahhh!】
Shen Jue listened to the complaint in his mind, the curve of his lips deepening, while his movements became even more unrestrained.
On this matter, she truly didn’t need any say.
The next morning.
Shen Jue stepped out of Wutong CourtyardWutong Courtyard in high spirits, looking refreshed. The gloom in his eyes was completely gone, and even his stride carried a hint of springtime pride.
However, thinking of the Moonsha Princess still staying in the east wing—who might run into him at any moment—his brows immediately knotted into a deep frown.
Last night’s warning about “becoming a real eunuch” still echoed in his ears.
In order to protect his future happiness, Shen Jue decisively made a decision.
Half an hour later.
Lu Yan arrived at YuyuanYuyuan Estate with a face so cold it could freeze people to death, dragging along a sleepy Yu Qing.
“Shen Jue, this had better be something urgent!” Lu Yan sat heavily in the pavilion, slamming the embroidered spring knife onto the stone table with a loud bang, making the teacups tremble.
Beside him, Yu Qing looked full of resentment.
【It’s dawn! Even the chickens haven’t crowed yet! Is that Shen fox sick in the head?! Disturbing people’s sleep should get struck by lightning! I was dragged into ‘exercise’ by Lu Yan until midnight, I’m exhausted!】
Lu Yan’s face flushed the moment he heard that thought.
The “exercise” she was referring to could only mean bedroom exercise!
His expression turned awkward. Originally, he hadn’t been satisfied last night and wanted to continue, but Yu Qing couldn’t take it anymore and passed out—so he had no choice but to stop.
This morning he originally planned to “collect with interest,” but then servants banged on the door, saying Shen Jue had come looking for him!
How could he not be furious?
A sexually frustrated man is truly terrifying!
Yet Shen Jue completely failed to notice what was going through Lu Yan’s mind at that moment.
He didn’t even lift his eyelids, casually fiddling with the teacup lid as he said in an air of righteousness, “The situation is full of hidden dangers right now. We are both serving His Majesty and sharing his burdens. What’s wrong with being cautious against the unexpected?”
Lu Yan was so furious he almost laughed, just about to explode.
At that moment, a crisp and pleasant sound of golden bells came from the corridor.
“Your Highness the Regent—”
Princess Yue Sha walked into the pavilion with a delicate tray in her hands, smiling brightly.
Today, she had changed into an even more figure-emphasizing West Region gauze dress. Her emerald-green eyes lit up the moment she saw Shen Jue, as if they were glowing.
But when she approached the pavilion and saw it was already full of people, her smile froze instantly.
Su Hewan was walking over at that moment carrying a plate of freshly washed grapes. Seeing this, she raised an eyebrow and naturally sat down beside Shen Jue.
“Princess, you’re up early,” Su Hewan said with a gentle and friendly smile.
Princess Yue Sha gritted her teeth and forced herself in, holding up her tray. “These are honey cakes unique to our Yue clan. I personally made them and wanted the Prince to try them.”
Shen Jue’s expression turned sharp. He subtly leaned back behind Su Hewan and, lifting his chin, naturally pointed at Lu Yan beside him.
“Thank you for your kindness, Princess. However, I’ve been having stomach discomfort lately and must avoid sweets. Prince Jing works tirelessly every day and needs nourishment—why don’t you give them to him instead?”
Lu Yan, who was suddenly used as a shield: “……”
He took a deep breath and looked toward his wife, his eyes practically shouting: help me.
Yu Qing’s eyes immediately lit up—her acting instincts flaring to life.
She looped her arm through Lu Yan’s and said in a soft, coy voice, “Oh my, these honey cakes look so sweet~ But my husband doesn’t like sweets either~ Princess, your kindness is truly misplaced~”
Lu Yan’s cold, stern face softened slightly as he stared at Yue Sha. “I only eat meat.” As he said this, he glanced meaningfully at Yu Qing.
Yu Qing instantly understood what he meant.
She secretly pinched his waist, and Lu Yan caught her hand in return.
On the surface, Lu Yan said, “Why don’t you leave them here for now? We can try them later.”
Princess Yue Sha stood frozen in place, unable to advance or retreat. Her hands trembled slightly as she held the tray, her pretty face flushed red.
She had imagined countless ways she might be rejected—but never this.
She never expected to be so bluntly and rudely “dismissed” by these two most powerful men of the Great Wei court.
Su Hewan looked at this childish, almost childlike scene of infighting and couldn’t help but feel speechless.
She let out a soft sigh, stood up from Shen Jue’s side, and calmly took the tray from Yue Sha’s hands, smiling gently.
“The princess’s craftsmanship looks wonderful. Thank you for your trouble.”
She took a honey cake and bit into it.
Her eyes brightened slightly. “It really is delicious. Qingqing, you should try it too.”
She handed the tray to Yu Qing.
Yu Qing looked at her in confusion.
Su Hewan only smiled warmly and reassuringly. “Try it and you’ll understand.”
Still uncertain, Yu Qing took a bite.
The next second, her eyes lit up. “It really is good!”
The awkward atmosphere was finally eased by this sudden food appreciation.
Seeing the situation defused, Princess Yue Sha regained a bit of dignity and forced a small smile, saying nothing more.
After she left, Su Hewan leisurely set down her teacup and calmly swept her gaze over the three men in front of her.
