Si Moli looked at the emperor's cold eyes, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Taogong? Your efforts are to force me to sit on the throne, let me marry a group of women I don't love to maintain power, and in the end, will you miss and regret it forever like you? When you were there, you did not do your best to be kind to her, and now what are you touching yourself? If you fail, the first person you fail is my mother."

After a pause, he said loudly: "I only recognize one person as my princess in this life, and that is Chen Qingyun. Even if you are the emperor, don't think of tampering with her, otherwise I will never marry anyone else even if I die."

After saying that, regardless of the emperor's expression, he turned around and left with a cold face.

Sorrow and anger flashed in the emperor's eyes. He stared at Si Moli's back, remembered the woman in his memory, and smiled dejectedly.

Yes, this man has passed away, and no matter how many regrets you have, it cannot be compensated...

In the Duke's Mansion, Chen Qingyun lay down on the beauty couch a little tiredly, and Yi Cui gently knocked on the door: "Miss, a letter from the doorman is coming, it's news from the General's Mansion."

"Take it to me." Chen Qingyun gently rubbed her forehead and took the letter, but Han Rou invited her to have a small family dinner together.

Chen Qingyun smiled slightly: "I sent someone to go back to my mother, and I will arrive on time the next day."

Yicui nodded and retreated.

But Han Shuang came in at this moment and whispered a few words to Chen Qingyun.

Chen Qingyun looked at the sky outside in surprise. It was so late that Si Moli actually wanted to see her. Could it be that there was something wrong with the palace during the day?

After thinking about it, under the support of Han Shuang and Han Qing, she wore a light cloak, quietly got on the carriage from the back door, and went to Tingfeng Pavilion.

When I arrived at the place, I saw Si Moli standing there alone, watching the koi swimming in the pond stunning. For some reason, I always felt that his back looked a little lonely.

"Mo Li, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? Call me over in such a hurry?" Chen Qingyun asked softly.

Si Moli walked over with a calm expression, but suddenly she gently hugged Chen Qingyun.

For a moment, his entire breath surrounded Chen Qingyun, and his head buried in his chest. He felt his rapid heartbeat through the thin spring shirt, which made her blush and tentatively scream: "Mo Li..."

Si Moli's half-drooping eyes were slightly red, and his voice was mute: "Qingyun, please let me hug you, okay?"

Chen Qingyun didn't say anything anymore, and the two hugged each other quietly.

After a long time, Si Moli carefully let go of her and casually sorted out the hair that was crushed on her forehead. She unconsciously laughed: "It's great to see you."

"What's wrong? Why is it suddenly today..." Chen Qingyun felt a little strangely sweet and a little worried.

I don't know what happened.

Si Moli took her aside and sat down. The table was filled with her favorite snacks and tea.

He poured a cup of tea for Chen Qingyun, and then asked: "Qingyun, do you feel that I have always been a little cold to you?"

When Chen Qingyun suddenly heard him ask this, she was a little confused. After thinking about it, she still shook her head.

In fact, her expectations and fantasies about her feelings have long been eroded in the years she was imprisoned and tortured in her previous life. She had only two thoughts in her mind, one was to protect her mother and others, and the other was to take revenge.

Even though she gradually achieved these two things, to be honest, she has been avoiding thinking about this issue. She just wants to make a lot of money and manage her own house and shop. What if she doesn’t get married for the rest of her life?

Therefore, even though she realized that she had a secret love for Si Moli, she was not ready to love her passionately.

However, this kind of indifferent and tacit way of getting along with each other does not need to explain too much, nor does it deliberately pursue romance, but instead makes her feel comfortable and at ease.

Seeing that Chen Qingyun was indeed not in a strange color, Si Moli breathed a sigh of relief, but explained: "I'm afraid you guessed it a long time ago that my reputation for beating my wife was related to Princess Jing'an. In fact, it's not just her, but also the former queen. The queen was worried that I would fight for power with the third prince, so that she would allow Jing'an to harm many officials' women behind her back."

To this end, he avoided contact with women even more to avoid implicating the other party.

And for so long, after realizing that he was moved by Chen Qingyun, he did not dare to express it too obviously. After all, once the queen was aware of it, Chen Qingyun might be in trouble.

But he couldn't help but appear by her side, carefully protecting her, and helping her achieve her desired goal.

Si Moli stared at Chen Qingyun's eyes, and the warmth appeared in her eyes as if the ice and snow melted: "I was not moved by anyone, so I didn't plan to marry, but now, I already have a woman who wants to spend the rest of my life with me. Qingyun, have you seen that imperial edict?"

Chen Qingyun's heart was throbbing and nodded slightly.

Si Moli had a gentle expression, but unconsciously felt a little nervous.

Since childhood, his situation seems to be incredible, but in fact it is dangerous, and he has been living a life of dancing with a knife. If Chen Qingyun becomes Princess Li, he will inevitably be involved in these strange plots, with only open and hidden arrows, only a lot of open and hidden arrows... And what he can give is his sincerity. He will love her wholeheartedly, protect her and do what he wants, face everything with her, stand in front of her to resist the wind and snow for her...

Once upon a time, he saw that she was hesitant about feelings, so he did not dare to show his enthusiasm.

But he found that he was really crazy. If he had a little free time, he couldn't help but think of her. Now the emperor used her to stimulate himself. For the first time, he even had the intention to fight for power.

Si Moli let out a sigh of relief and made up her mind to be honest: "Qingyun, I want to tell you a secret about my life experience. In fact, I am not the emperor's younger brother, but his son. I know you want to live a peaceful and gentle life. Do you still want to be with me? If you don't want to, I can make that imperial edict invalid."

Such news really shocked Chen Qingyun for a moment. She was silent for a while and asked softly: "Do you want that position?"

"I don't want to." Si Moli answered firmly.

Chen Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and understood many things at once. She said seriously, "Mo Li, I just ask you, do you say you only marry me as a concubine, will you not take any concubines in the future?"

Si Moli nodded solemnly: "Of course, I only want you."

A smile appeared on Chen Qingyun's face: "Since that's the case, I'm not afraid of anything. No matter what I encounter in the future, I will stand with you."

After hearing her words, Si Moli stood up excitedly, walked around Chen Qingyun's side, and hugged her again.

"Qingyun, thank you..." Si Moli said with a trembling voice.

Thank you for your willingness to believe my heart for you.

He was actually really afraid that Chen Qingyun would not want to get involved in the royal struggle after knowing this, so he would definitely not be able to let her down.

Immediately, Si Moli reminded him seriously: "I tell you this, and I want to remind you that the emperor may take action again recently."
