Snow: The Crown Prince of Chu, forced into marriage by the Minister of the Southern Palace with his

This is absolutely terrifying and frightening.

Empress Murong turned her head away, no longer looking at Jiang Xuan.

Because her thoughts were somewhat confused, Empress Murong's steps were a little flustered.

So the moment she turned around, Empress Murong stumbled forward and fell to the ground.

But standing before Empress Murong was Jiang Xuan.

He simply reached out and hugged the other person without hesitation.

"..."

Looking at the face so close to his, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

So, subconsciously, he tightened his grip on Empress Murong's hand.

"Has anyone told you that you are beautiful, Empress?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Murong pushed Jiang Xuan's hand away and quickly stood up.

As Empress Murong straightened her clothes, she gave Jiang Xuan a deep look.

Jiang Xuan didn't seem to care, just smiled.

Empress Murong's cheeks were still slightly flushed, after all, she hadn't had a man by her side for so many years.

Even if there were any, they were all eunuchs.

As for the others, they either wouldn't let them rise to power, or they simply didn't think much of them.

After all, at her level, it's not just a matter of paying attention to one or two things, but about taking a holistic view.

In everything we do, we must prioritize the overall situation.

Thinking of this, Empress Murong couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan suddenly turned his head and spoke to the guards standing not far away.

"You guys leave first, go somewhere far away."

Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, everyone present showed expressions of surprise.

Empress Murong, in particular, looked at Jiang Xuan with a look of doubt in her eyes.

However, she still waved her hand and said.

"It's alright, you can go ahead first."

"After all, if Mr. Jiang really wants to make a move, I'm afraid even if you all come together, you won't be able to stop him."

Since Empress Murong had said so, the guards present all turned their heads away and left to the side, saying no more.

Just after they left, Jiang Xuan and Empress Murong's eyes met. Before Empress Murong could say anything, Jiang Xuan suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Empress Murong opened her mouth as if to scream, but the next second her mouth was sealed shut by Jiang Xuan.

Empress Murong had not experienced the feeling of a kiss for countless years.

Her eyes widened in that instant, her body stiffened, and her eyes revealed disbelief.

When she sensed something was wrong, her eyes revealed a mix of emotions, including anger, embarrassment, and shyness.

At the same time, she took a big bite.

"Tsk!"

Jiang Xuan had just dodged when Empress Murong's hand immediately swung out.

Snapped!

Jiang Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood. He hadn't expected Empress Murong to be so ruthless, actually biting his tongue directly.

As for the slap on his face, Jiang Xuan didn't care at all.

"You bastard!"

Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?!

Jiang Xuan glanced at her with interest, then moved closer again.

Empress Murong instinctively took a step back, but Jiang Xuan grabbed her wrist directly.

Before she could speak, Jiang Xuan grabbed her waist.

"If you're not afraid that this will cause our cooperation to fail, then go ahead and scream."

"How about it?"

Empress Murong gritted her teeth, her gaze towards Jiang Xuan filled with complex emotions.

The reason why Jiang Xuan was not afraid was naturally because he could see through Empress Murong's heart.

Faced with his telepathic abilities, Empress Murong's thoughts could not be concealed.

Therefore, he learned of Empress Murong's scheme and her innermost thoughts.

Empress Murong's current situation is that she is somewhat unable to save face.

Jiang Xuan is now giving her a chance.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan leaned close to Empress Murong's ear and whispered something.

"Empress, as long as we cooperate, everything is negotiable."

Chapter 228 Sweating in the Imperial Palace

Cooperation?

Empress Murong felt her face turn red and her whole body become hot.

She wanted to distance herself from Jiang Xuan, but he wouldn't give her that chance.

At that moment, Jiang Xuan reached out and gently stroked Empress Murong's cheek.

"Empress, you are indeed beautiful."

"so……"

Empress Murong's eyes widened instinctively. She pushed him away and raised her hand.

This time, Jiang Xuan didn't give her a chance and grabbed her wrist in one swift motion.

"Empress Murong, although I am a very good person, I am not without temper."

"Give me a straight answer: will you choose to give up your body, or the entire Northern Mang?"

As he spoke, he pinched her cheek, his eyes fixed on Empress Murong.

"Do I even need to think about it? It seems you don't love Bei Mang as much as I thought."

With that, Jiang Xuan released his grip, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Just then, Empress Murong reached out and grabbed Jiang Xuan's clothes.

"No!"

Jiang Xuan paused, and a faint smile appeared on his face, which was turned away from Empress Murong.

When he turned his head again, he looked down at the empress in front of him.

"What? Is there anything else you want to say?"

Empress Murong gritted her teeth. Although she didn't dislike Jiang Xuan, after all, the young man was very handsome and she had heard that he was exceptionally strong in every aspect.

In addition, he was top-notch in martial arts, literature, and all kinds of cultivation.

But she herself was also an empress.

Sometimes, because of the Empress's dignity, she was not allowed to do such things.

Just as Empress Murong was lost in thought, Jiang Xuan suddenly turned around and embraced her.

Before the other party could say anything, she silenced Empress Murong once again.

However, this time she didn't bite Jiang Xuan directly.

Instead, they responded.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly tense.

A eunuch heard some unusual sounds nearby. He instinctively tried to look up, but a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

The voice told him that he must not look up, or he would surely die.

Apart from this eunuch, everyone else thought the same thing.

Empress Murong was naturally unaware that Jiang Xuan, using his telepathic abilities and his own, had subtly influenced the minds of those around him.

Coupled with the oppressive aura emanating from him, those people couldn't even lift their heads, let alone come over.

However, Empress Murong was unaware of this, and her face was filled with a conflicted expression.

Because she doesn't want to break up right now, but she's afraid of being overheard.

She felt that if she were discovered, her position in Northern Mang would be in grave danger, as she would lose the emperor's authority.

However, Jiang Xuan did not want to let her go. Although he had done things like fighting dragons in the wild, he had never done it with a true dragon.

Empress Murong is the only female emperor in the entire world.

It can be said that there is no one like it before or since.

And this woman is with him now.

This feeling is definitely different.

"Shall we...shall we go back? It's too...dangerous here!"

"I really can't take it anymore! I really can't!"

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan leaned close to the other person's ear and whispered something.

"Don't worry, it'll be soon! Almost there!"

"..."
