A thin layer of sweat covered her white forehead. Shen Zhiqiao tightly held onto his arm as he looked at him with his big, misty eyes. "You were the one who arranged this, right?"

Tuoba Yu pursed his lips and stared at her with his phoenix eyes that were as cold as steel. He slowly spat out a word, "Yes."

Although she was prepared to hear the confirmation from him, he admitted it so brazenly that she was still a bit surprised.

Shen Zhi Qiao held his neck high as he breathed in and out, but his eyes were staring at him as he asked, "Why?!"

"There's no other reason, just treat it as I'm happy!"

Tuoba Yu leaned over and kissed her on the lips again.

He was too domineering, so Shen Zhi Qiao could only passively accept his offer.

It wasn't hard to guess what had happened tonight.

The empress dowager's birthday was celebrated both inside and outside the palace, so it was only right for them to strengthen their defenses and increase the number of guards on guard to keep watch over and patrol the place.

However, there were barely any guards patrolling the area where Shen Shuizhi was located.

After she got lost, she casually walked through a small path and saw many guards patrolling back and forth. Only then did she ask the guard about the direction of the Dragon's Nest Palace and how it was hidden.

Moreover, in the entire palace, it would be hard to find a second person other than the current emperor, who could scare Xiang Nan to the point that his expression immediately changed, and who ignored the orders of the empress dowager to leave her alone to face these unknown men in black.

Furthermore, to dare behave so atrociously in the palace, she thought that unless she had extraordinary ability, other than those who came and went freely in the palace, normal people definitely wouldn't dare to do anything to humiliate women in the palace.

As she thought about it, unless all the arrangements were made by the Sovereign King himself, she really couldn't think of anyone else.

The unsteady light in her eyes, as well as the tip of her eyebrows, made Tuoba Yu think that she was blaming him.

Blame him for persecuting the person she "loved"?!

Unable to control his anger, it entered his eyes from his heart. Tuoba Yu's phoenix eyes turned red and he actually stood up in an instant. He stood in front of the table and looked at her with a cold expression.

Shen Zhi Qiao was at a loss. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Hao with a puzzled expression.

He was still wearing the bright yellow monarch's uniform, and his clothes were meticulous. Compared to the current her, it seemed holy and pure.

Shen Zhiqiao's face turned slightly red and he felt extremely embarrassed.

He felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart and didn't understand why he seemed to have become a different person. At this moment, his eyes didn't have the slightest trace of emotion as he indifferently stared at her.

She took a deep breath and reached out to take the clothes he threw on the table. However, before she could touch them, he picked up her clothes and threw them far away.

A sliver of injury appeared in Shen Zhi Qiao's eyes and quickly fell into his eyes. It was so quick that it was hard to notice.

In his heart, he was also a bit angry, as he didn't know what he wanted to do.

Shen Zhiqiao pursed his lips and stubbornly glared at him. To his surprise, he discovered that his charming phoenix eyes were filled with a cold and mocking smile.

Then, suddenly, he stepped forward, took her arm, and tugged.

He then carried Shen Zhi Qiao into his embrace before walking out of the hall. The moment he entered, he threw her onto the bed, without the slightest tenderness.

The bed was covered with a thick blanket. It wasn't enough to injure her, but it was enough to make her nervous.

Shen Zhi Qiao quickly retreated to the foot of the bed, looking at him warily.

Her guarded look caused Tuoba Yu to roll his eyes once again. He took out the bright yellow belt on his waist with his long fingers and casually threw it on the ground.

Under her gaze, he slowly removed the clothes on his body.

His heart was beating uncontrollably, as if it were a derailed train.

Tonight, he had been too wild, and every frown was filled with coldness. She could not figure out the reason for this young man's sudden change in mood, but she had to ignore it. Her heart was filled with disappointment from the change in his mood.

He gripped her ankle, and as he panicked, he smacked her face with his nose. Shen Zhiqiao struggled to turn his head, not forgetting his previous topic, "Tuoba Yu, no matter what reason you want to deal with Shen Shuzhi, don't do this again …" "Ahh!

Shen Zhi Qiao instantly grabbed onto his arm and shouted out. Her eyebrows tightly knitted as she turned her head to look at him.

His appearance was a little strange. The previous coldness had disappeared, and a hint of malice had appeared between his brows. A faint smile appeared in the depths of his eyes. However, that smile did not reach his eyes. It was more like self-mockery.

His heart suddenly hurt. His anger at his repeated attempts to force her into a corner despite her will had miraculously dissipated.

Perhaps, her subconscious knew why he wanted to deal with Shen Shuzhi, but she chose not to pursue the matter any further.

The reason why she asked him was definitely not because of him. She only felt that if it was because of her that he dealt with Shen Shu Zhi, then it would really be unnecessary and not worth it.

When Shen Shuzhi handed her Qi Mujing's letter of rest to her in the men's prison, she no longer had anything to do with Qi Mujing.

Yes, she wouldn't deny that after being married to Qi Mujing for six years, every scene was a small tumor in her heart. Even if she had to cut them off one by one, it would be enough to cause her pain for a while before her injuries healed.

The moment she was about to die, she decided not to love the evening scenery anymore. Perhaps she just thought that she was going to die, so everything suddenly became clear. Since she was going to die, it was not important whether she loved anyone or not.

His fortuitous encounter with him on East Tomb Street, his tender care of Shen Shuzhi, his meticulous love, would hurt her. This feeling let her know that in her heart, she still held him, and even loved him.

She didn't know how long one person's love for another person would last, but at that moment, she really felt that she still loved him.

But tonight, Qi Mujing appeared in front of her without any warning. She looked at him, her heart would still ache, her eyes would still be sore, but she would never be nervous again.

When she heard him say that he shouldn't fall in love with someone, in his usual overbearing tone, she could see the panic in his eyes for a moment, and she thought she would feel a little gratified by it. At least, she wasn't without a place in his heart.

But no, she was very calm. She thought that if she said she would not meet him again, it would make her calm heart feel a little sad, but there was still no sign of it.

The moment he turned around, she felt her heart, which had been heavy ever since she left the house of the Marquis, suddenly lighten. She heaved a sigh of relief.

For Qi Mujing, although she did not love him anymore, she thanked him for at least giving her a place to stay after she had transmigrated here.

If being together with Shen Shuzhi was his happiness, she was willing to not hate what Shen Shuzhi had done to her. She wanted to thank him for his six years of 'taking her in'.

From then on, they could live without each other.

That was why she hoped that he wouldn't do anything similar to what he did tonight …

She was still thinking, her fingertips digging into his powerful arm, squinting at him.

He was also looking at her. His eyes were deep and fiery, like flames of desire or anger. She couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Tuoba Yu only felt that he had never been so angry in his life before. Her earlier absent-mindedness made him recall who she was thinking about.

He had only seen him once, yet he was still reminiscing about him even as he was enjoying himself.

His heart was filled with rage, as if a torrent of water was gushing down from a tall mountain, completely pushing his rationality out of control. The only thought left in his mind was to make this woman remember that from now on, no matter what, she would only think of him, him, him alone!

Since she couldn't remember it, he told her body to remember who was her master!
