"????"

This voice...

Yun Wanyao’s eyes suddenly widened, staring intently at the silhouette in the dark, utterly shocked.

Why is it the Emperor?

Why is the Emperor in her room?

[Ah, sister finally woke up. Sister, if you hadn’t woken up, I really wouldn’t know what to do...]

[Well, now that sister is awake, I can rest assured and watch from the side.]

[As long as sister calls for help, I’ll immediately knock the Emperor out, leave a trace of spiritual power in his mind, and make him have nightmares for ten days and nights to see if he still dares to sneak into sister’s room at night casually.]

Yun Wanyao: "..."

Upon waking up and seeing the shadow, she was too scared to notice her younger sister’s inner voice.

It was only now that she recalled she seemed to have heard her little sister’s voice in a dream. No, to be precise, it should be her sister’s voice that woke her up.

Her sister’s spiritual power had come to her room.

But wasn’t her sister going to enter Yun Wanye’s dream tonight?

Considering the current situation, Yun Wanyao quickly came to a hypothesis.

It must be that her sister’s spiritual power was released, about to enter Yun Wanye’s dream, or as she finished, she happened to encounter the Emperor entering the mansion at night and followed in, worried about her.

No matter which it was, just knowing her sister’s spiritual power was beside her made Yun Wanyao’s anxious heart calm down.

Yet, amidst this calm, a secret sense of shame emerged again.

Being caught by her little sister with an outsider man sneaking into her bedroom at night, she felt truly embarrassed.

"I can let go of you, but you mustn’t scream, understand?"

At this moment, a man’s low voice came to her ears, pulling Yun Wanyao’s thoughts back, and she nodded vigorously to show her agreement.

Next, the large hand covering her mouth was removed.

With her mouth free, before Yun Wanyao could speak, the man’s questioning voice sounded heavily in the dark.

"Why didn’t you reply to my letter? Yun Wanyao, do you know, I have been waiting for your reply all this time?"

Ah?????

Yun Wanyao was dumbfounded, she hadn’t even read that letter, what reply?

So, the Emperor came to her room in the middle of the night just for this matter?

[A reply? The Emperor wrote a letter to sister?]

This plot development was something Yun Wanqing had never expected, and she was quite surprised.

[When did this happen? Sister’s mouth is really tight, never mentioned it in front of me.]

[Uh... What did the Emperor write in the letter to sister, suddenly I want to read it, what should I do?]

[Also, I’ve never noticed before that the Emperor and sister look so perfect together in the same frame, handsome guy and pretty girl, really pleasant to the eyes.]

[From this angle, a kiss would surely make a great image.]

[Tsk, can’t help it, I want to ship them.]

[Sister, if it’s not possible, just go with the Emperor, satisfy my desire for some cute couple moments...]

What evil thoughts can a little cutie have?

She just can’t help but want to ship top-grade beautiful people together upon seeing them.

Yun Wanyao: "..."

What kind of messy thoughts does her sister have?

How could she think she is a good match with the Emperor and even think about kissing...

Thinking and thinking, Yun Wanyao couldn’t help but blush, feeling very embarrassed, and slowly sat up from her bed.

"Ha, you even dare to ignore my word, Yun Wanyao, you’re quite bold!"

Not hearing a reply from her for a long time, the man sneered, speaking with a chill.

Seeing him unhappy, Yun Wanyao hurriedly cleared all thoughts from her mind, came to her senses, and spoke softly.

"Reply to the Emperor, your subject did not intend to ignore your words. Your subject was only thinking about how to respond to Your Majesty."

This answer did not improve Mo Yuanlin’s mood, in fact, it made it worse.

"What’s the reality, just reply with that, does it even require thinking? Do you intend to deceive me?"

"Your subject doesn’t dare to."

Yun Wanyao quickly denied, then defended herself, "Your subject has a poor way with words, thinking is to organize language, not to deceive the Emperor."

Mo Yuanlin: "..."

Yun Wanqing: "..."

[Very good, sister’s excuse is unbeatable.]

[Look at the Emperor’s expression, is he defeated by sister’s excuse?]

[Hahaha, if sister and the Emperor interact like this, why do I find it a bit funny?]

Yun Wanyao: "..."

She was about to die from nervousness, how could her sister think this was funny?

What exactly was the funny part?

Oh, almost forgot, her sister is naturally lively, cheerful, and has a low laughter threshold, finds everything funny.

Still remember back then, even with Daoist Jing Yuan’s so plain moniker, made her laugh for a quite while.

"Fine, I’ll believe you for now, but can you tell me why you didn’t reply?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Yun Wanyao wouldn’t know how much he eagerly awaited that reply.

A whole day and night, his mind was full of thoughts about what her reply would be after reading his letter, even during the morning court, he was often distracted.

But who knew, after waiting for a whole day and night, he still received no news whatsoever.

Finally, couldn’t wait any longer...

After the court session, he pressed into the Imperial Study, working tirelessly, quickly finishing important memoranda and state affairs.

Then, without hesitation, he took the hidden guards, left the palace, and sneaked into the Duke Ning Mansion to see her.

"Reply to the Emperor, it’s inappropriate for unmarried men and women to exchange letters privately, a woman’s reputation is more important than heaven, your subject doesn’t dare, also cannot reply, I hope the Emperor forgives me."

These words amounted to a clear refusal, Mo Yuanlin is not a fool, how could he not hear the underlying meaning?

His eyes narrowed, feeling somewhat displeased, but he suppressed it forcibly.

"Private letter exchange isn’t right? Hmm, then, next time I send a letter, I’ll have them beat the gong and declare it to the world, so it won’t be a private exchange, right?"

[Wow, the Emperor’s logic is really something...]

[I thought the Emperor would switch to the domineering CEO mode, say something like ’I am the Emperor, who dares tell me I’m wrong’, or ’I am the Emperor, whatever I do is right...’]

[But who knew, the result is actually like this.]

[Alright, alright, I guessed wrong, I concede this round.]

The spectator Yun Wanqing never falls behind, always ready to share her viewpoint.

Yun Wanyao: "..."

Her heart was in turmoil.

Upon hearing Mo Yuanlin’s words, she was utterly incredulous, however, before those feelings could bloom, they were interrupted by Yun Wanqing’s inner voice.

Yun Wanqing’s remarks, humorous and light-hearted, easily relaxed people.

After listening, she involuntarily relaxed entirely.

"Emperor, your subject didn’t mean that."

She sighed lightly, calmly looking at him in the dark.

"Hmm, you mean you don’t want to have anything to do with me, I understand, but I don’t agree, Yun Wanyao, you clearly know I want to marry you..."
