Save my man, why does he always turn out to be the savior?

Chapter 212 Palace Intrigue World: A Harem Pierced Through Like a Sickle VS An Awakened Emperor with

The clothes Xiao Jing'an brought this time were quite gorgeous, and clearly not the kind of clothing that Su Jinyue, a mere maid, could wear.

There were also quite a few matching pieces of jewelry. Su Jinyue picked out two or three simple pieces so that her hair wouldn't look too plain after she styled it.

Su Jinyue got dressed and went out. Dinner was already laid out outside, and Xiao Jing'an was sitting at the table, holding a book and waiting for her.

He must be waiting for her, Su Jinyue thought hesitantly.

Although her relationship with Xiao Jing'an had made substantial progress, for some reason, she still felt somewhat awkward.

Su Jinyue looked at Xiao Jing'an, who was calm and composed, showing no sign of guilt, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Xiao Jing'an is acting too naturally, he doesn't seem to be experiencing this for the first time at all. Is he some kind of jerk...?"

Xiao Jing'an was somewhat bewildered. What did "big pig's trotter" mean?

But judging from the meaning behind Su Jinyue's words, it wasn't a good evaluation.

There's no need to tell Su Jinyue whether it's his first time or not. After all, he's an emperor; what's so strange about matters between men and women?

Xiao Jing'an had seen a lot in the palace. He was not valued when he was young. He had seen the late emperor and his concubines playing in the imperial garden, and he had also seen vicious eunuchs forcing palace maids to have sexual relations with each other.

These events caused great psychological trauma to young Xiao Jing'an, so even when he grew up, he was not very interested in matters between men and women.

Su Jinyue is the only exception!

Xiao Jing'an closed the book and said without turning around, "If you're up, hurry up and come eat. Don't always talk about me in your heart. Don't forget, I can hear your thoughts."

"..." Su Jinyue was caught red-handed complaining, which made her feel a little more embarrassed. Anyway, since things had already come to this, Xiao Jing'an couldn't do anything to her.

Su Jinyue walked over as if she had nothing to lose, plopped down opposite Xiao Jing'an, and started eating with her chopsticks.

She was starving; the peaches she had secretly eaten earlier were no longer a problem. She couldn't resist the aroma of the food as soon as she smelled it.

Xiao Jing'an originally wanted to argue with Su Jinyue, but seeing how ravenously she was eating, and remembering why she had been so hungry, he couldn't bring himself to say what he was going to say.

He sighed helplessly, and in the end, he had no choice but to put a few more pieces of food that Su Jinyue couldn't reach on her plate.

When Su Jinyue was about half full and her stomach wasn't so empty anymore, she slowed down her eating speed.

Su Jinyue looked up and saw that Xiao Jing'an was also eating at a leisurely pace.

Xiao Jing'an's table manners were far superior to hers; every movement was pleasing to the eye and extremely graceful.

Having lived through several worlds, Su Jinyue's demeanor was generally acceptable, but she still lacked the natural elegance cultivated by the atmosphere of ancient aristocratic families or even royalty.

She bit her chopsticks, staring blankly at Xiao Jing'an, motionless.

Xiao Jing'an waved his hand in front of her and asked her with amusement, "Weren't you hungry? Why are you suddenly spacing out?"

"I just want to see how good-looking you are!" Su Jinyue blurted out, only realizing what she had said afterward, and immediately covered her mouth.

Xiao Jing'an was initially taken aback by Su Jinyue's bluntness, but then he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about what she said.

It seems that being good-looking is an advantage.

After the laughter and commotion, let's get back to the main topic.

In order to help Xiao Jing'an out of a predicament, Su Jinyue made a bold move in front of Empress Jiang Lingyao and became the emperor's favorite concubine.

Although the persona of this favored concubine is fake, she has still appeared in front of Jiang Lingyao. How should she explain it when others ask about it later?

Xiao Jing'an appeared quite domineering in response to this question.

"I am the emperor. I'm just indulging in the company of a beautiful woman. Do I need to explain this to others?"

Upon hearing this, Su Jinyue suddenly realized that she was being constrained by Jiang Lingyao's status as Empress. In ancient times, the Emperor was the most powerful!

Xiao Jing'an doesn't need to explain his actions to anyone!

"But aren't you afraid that if outsiders find out, the entire court will impeach you for indulging in sensual pleasures and neglecting state affairs?"

Xiao Jing'an thought about it and realized that it was indeed a problem, but not a big one.

"If word gets out, it will indeed be a hidden danger. But I already have quite a few dirt on the court officials. If they impeach me, I'll use these dirt on them to fight back. I'm sure they'll be very happy then..."

"..." Okay, it's good that he came up with a solution. Su Jinyue felt that she seemed to have corrupted Xiao Jing'an. What should she do?

Will the Great Yong Dynasty be ruined by Xiao Jing'an?

Oh, right, Su Jinyue suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a Taobao system.

This should be useful to Xiao Jing'an.

Su Jinyue quickly explained to Xiao Jing'an in this and that manner.

After understanding, Xiao Jing'an summarized: "In other words, you now have a medium that can connect to another world, allowing you to exchange gold and silver for things from that world?"

Su Jinyue nodded: "That's right, that's right. Let me tell you, modern society has many things that were useful to the ancients, such as various high-yield seeds, farming tools, and technologies, you name it..."

Su Jinyue was still excitedly sharing with Xiao Jing'an, but Xiao Jing'an showed no sign of happiness. He grabbed Su Jinyue's hand and asked in a deep voice.

"And what about you? What if you suddenly disappear and return to the world you were in before?"

Xiao Jing'an knew that the current Su Jinyue was not the same person as the Su Jinyue of the past.

However, the only person he loves is Su Jinyue as she is now!

Now that Su Jinyue can actually get a system from someone else, does that mean that one day, Su Jinyue will be able to return to her original world and never come here again?

Su Jinyue was stunned. Was Xiao Jing'an worried that she would leave?

How could Xiao Jing'an have such a thought?

Su Jinyue was momentarily confused, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

Xiao Jing'an couldn't hear Su Jinyue's thoughts. His heart sank. He had only just realized his feelings for her. Was he going to lose her so soon?

Xiao Jing'an gripped Su Jinyue's hand tightly; he wouldn't allow it!

He'd only just won Su Jinyue over; he wouldn't let her go!

When Su Jinyue came to her senses, she was already being held tightly in Xiao Jing'an's arms.

Su Jinyue looked up at Xiao Jing'an and found his face was gloomy and his eyes were as black as ink, as if he was about to die with someone else at any moment.

Su Jinyue didn't understand, what was wrong with him?

"What's wrong with Xiao Jing'an? Why does he look so pale?"

Upon hearing Su Jinyue's thoughts again, Xiao Jing'an's eyes flickered slightly. He stared intently at Su Jinyue, lowered his head slightly, and leaned close to her ear, asking her in a low, ambiguous tone.

"Yueyue hasn't answered yet. Will you leave me and go back to your old world?"

When Xiao Jing'an opened his mouth, his hot breath hit Su Jinyue's earlobe, and Su Jinyue involuntarily shrank back, feeling a sense of danger for no reason.
