Tenderness, envy others

As this scene unfolded, the atmosphere quieted down.

Originally, Jidi'er was the most spirited and the one who initiated the conflict. Now that Jidi'er was no longer causing trouble, everyone naturally became quiet.

Bai Li Hongzhuang calmly collected all the treasures brought by the Jidi family cultivators into her spatial ring.

In her eyes, the Jidi family was nothing more than a huge fat lamb, dripping with wealth. It would be a waste not to take advantage of it.

Emperor Beichen walked over and sat beside Bai Li Hongzhuang, quietly giving her a thumbs up. "Lady, your move was truly ingenious!"

Bai Li Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow and looked at Emperor Beichen with feigned confusion. "I didn't do anything."

Upon hearing her words, a wicked smile curled up at the corners of Emperor Beichen's lips. His wife was truly a little fox.

He knew very well about his wife's methods. Whenever and wherever, she would never suffer a loss.

In the next moment, a serious and concerned look appeared in Emperor Beichen's eyes. "Wife, you just helped Jidi'er detoxify. How is your body?"

Saying that, Emperor Beichen took out a pill and fed it to Bai Li Hongzhuang.

Bai Li Hongzhuang shook her head, indicating that she was fine. "Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine."

However, Emperor Beichen stubbornly insisted on feeding Bai Li Hongzhuang the pill. "We're going to enter the ruins soon. How can anyone feel at ease seeing you like this?"

Seeing the concern and affection in Emperor Beichen's eyes, a warm feeling surged in Bai Li Hongzhuang's heart, and a gentle light flickered in her eyes.

When it came to Emperor Beichen, she had always been hesitant.

First, it was because of the disparity in their identities. Regardless of who she was in her past life, in this life, she was just an ordinary young lady from a general's mansion. Moreover, she was burdened with inexplicable hatred.

Second, it was because she had saved Emperor Beichen. Perhaps he was only grateful to her, which was why he had been so considerate of her.

However, under Emperor Beichen's successive actions, her resolute heart gradually melted.

Even though Emperor Beichen had not clearly expressed his inner thoughts to her yet, she felt that if Emperor Beichen continued to accompany her like this, she would be happy.

The feeling of having someone care for her was wonderful.

Emperor Beichen noticed Bai Li Hongzhuang's silence and saw a pool of tenderness in her eyes. His heart stirred, and a knowing smile appeared on his lips.

This expedition to the ruins was already worth it for the progress between him and his wife.

"Don't worry, my pale complexion was just an act. In fact, there was no harm done," Bai Li Hongzhuang said softly, "Keep your pill for now. Use it when you really need it."

Emperor Beichen was momentarily taken aback. After seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang's gradually improving complexion, he began to believe her words. He couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

It seemed that he had underestimated his wife's abilities.

Not far away, Han Xilin saw Emperor Beichen and Bai Li Hongzhuang's intimate appearance, and a trace of sinister jealousy slowly formed in her eyes. Her clenched fists beneath her sleeves tightened even more.

She had never seen Emperor Beichen show such tenderness to anyone before, until Bai Li Hongzhuang appeared.

That tenderness had been what she had longed for countless times in her midnight dreams. However, Emperor Beichen did possess such tenderness, but it was given to another woman!

No!

That tenderness should belong to her!

In just three short years, she would definitely take back the tenderness that belonged to her!
