Wife, you are blushing

"Madam, are you unable to sleep because the red candle is too bright?"

Suddenly, Emperor Beichen's concerned words came from under the bed, causing Baili Hongzhuang to startle before nodding immediately.

"Yes, the red candle is too bright, and I'm not used to it."

She couldn't help but feel a bit guilty in her heart. In fact, with Emperor Beichen here, she couldn't sleep at all!

The room darkened, and Emperor Beichen blew out the red candle. "Now, Madam can rest well."

"Thank you." Baili Hongzhuang responded and fell into silence.

Never mind, she decided not to sleep tonight. She could rest properly tomorrow.

At that moment, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly heard faint footsteps outside the room.

Although the footsteps were very light, as a cultivator, her hearing was outstanding, and she almost immediately recognized them.

Who would appear so stealthily outside their room at this late hour?

Just as Baili Hongzhuang was about to go out and see what was happening, suddenly, a figure pressed her down firmly.

Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise, but Emperor Beichen covered her mouth, preventing any sound from leaking out.

Emperor Beichen leaned close to Baili Hongzhuang's ear, lowering his voice. "Walls have ears."

Hearing this, Baili Hongzhuang's tense body relaxed slightly, and she immediately speculated in her mind that these people outside were likely sent by the Emperor!

Baili Hongzhuang still wasn't clear about Emperor Beichen's true identity, but she was certain that the Emperor was wary of him.

As for the rumor of him being a bastard, after understanding Emperor Beichen's strength, she completely denied it.

Baili Hongzhuang looked at Emperor Beichen, signaling him to get off her. How long did this guy plan to press her down like this!

Although Emperor Beichen wasn't heavy, the face-to-face posture... was really ambiguous.

"Madam, you look so beautiful."

Emperor Beichen's voice carried a hint of breathlessness and hoarseness. His gaze fixed on the stunning face before him, and a strange emotion spread in his heart.

Moonlight spilled into the room through the window, faintly revealing each other's appearance, hazy and beautiful, making the atmosphere even more intoxicating.

Baili Hongzhuang was slightly stunned. It was the first time she had looked at Emperor Beichen from such a close distance.

She could clearly feel Emperor Beichen's breath, hot and slightly ticklish, making her involuntarily want to shrink her neck.

At this moment, those deep and charming eyes were flickering with dazzling light, surpassing even the stars in the sky.

As their eyes met, in that instant, the two of them almost forgot about the people outside the room, leaving only each other in their gaze.

The room became incredibly quiet, and Baili Hongzhuang could hear her own heartbeat clearly, thumping and disrupting her usual calmness.

"From what I can see, Prince Chen must have no problems. Who could resist a beauty like Princess Li? But why is there no movement?"

Outside the room, the two individuals leaned against the wall corner, listening to the commotion inside. They didn't understand why they were given this task, but since it was an order from above, they had no choice but to comply.

Emperor Beichen knocked on the bed frame, causing a slight sound.

Hearing that sound, the two outside exchanged knowing smiles. It seemed like they could report back now!

As the footsteps of the two gradually faded away, Baili Hongzhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had managed to deal with those two individuals. "You can come down now."

Emperor Beichen looked at Baili Hongzhuang with a smile. "Madam, you're blushing..."
