Li Yan smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about this, there is no one in my harem for now."
"Huh?" Su Mu looked up in disbelief, "No...you are so old, how could you not have a concubine?"
Hearing the words "You are so old", Li Yan's face darkened, "Mumu, I am only ten years older than you."
"Yes, I know." Su Mu nodded, "A few years ago I came to the palace to attend your twentieth birthday. At that time... I seemed to be only ten years old."
Just listening to the number "ten years old" seems to be something, but when she said it like this, ten years old seems to be a huge number.
Li Yan's expression was very unnatural, and even his tone was a bit strange, "In your eyes, am I really... old?"
Su Mu nodded honestly again.
Li Yan's face was stiff.
Before this, he had never thought about this issue. If someone dared to say that he was old in the past, he would definitely scoff at him. He is not a woman. He is in his twenties, and he is the most energetic man. Age, where did you mention the word "old"? Now when he was really faced with this question that should have made him scoff, Li Yan fell into a long silence because of her answer.
Is he... really old
The young emperor developed deep self-doubt.
The voice of No. 38 sounded, "You are stupid! Airport, you dare to say that an emperor is old, and you are not afraid that he will cut off your head?"
Su Mu suddenly remembered the identity of the person in front of her, she was anxious, "I said you are old, will you cut off my head?"
This question can be said to be asked with a strong desire to survive.
Li Yan felt that an invisible sharp sword stabbed his heart again, and he asked in a low voice: "In your eyes, am I the one who is so cruel to the one I love?"
She blinked her eyes, wisely, she didn't answer.
Li Yan sighed in his heart. He had been prepared for a long time. After she learned of his identity, her opinion of him would always change more or less. What about the most noble person in this country
The power of life and death is entirely in his hands.
"Mumu, you remember." Li Yan bent slightly, approached her face, stared straight into her clean eyes, and said slowly: "I can't hurt you, never will."
Su Mu gave an emotional "Oh", and then didn't know how to speak.
He then explained, "You should know that even though I was a crown prince before ascending to the throne of God, I was not favored by the late emperor. The fourth prince was favored by the late emperor. My position as crown prince was almost lost for a while. I have no interest at all, but if I want to live, I can only grab this position."
Su Mu knew his story, he was the queen's direct son, but because the previous emperor loved the noble concubine, he also brought the fourth prince who loved the noble concubine, Li Yan's road to the throne was not a smooth one.
She pursed her lips slightly, and finally raised her hand to hug him.
The corners of Li Yan's lips raised slightly, and he stroked the top of her head with one hand, "I know the pain of not being loved by my father and brothers killing each other. When I ascended the throne, I have already made a decision. In my life, the harem will only If there is a queen alone, there will only be a son born to the queen, but it is not easy to meet a woman who can make me fall in love. Only you."
Getting him to admit that he is old is really not an easy thing.
After listening to his story, Su Mu felt even more delicate. He stopped talking, and she knew that he was waiting for her answer.
Answer…
She can't be sure in her heart, but she also knows that no matter whether she loves it or not, how can someone who is favored by the emperor escape easily
She slowly took his hand, and said softly: "Can you guarantee... that you will treat me well in the future?"
"If I can't do it, I will suffer the pain of gouging out my heart and the pain of lingering." He took her hand and kissed the back of her hand lightly, "Trust me once, okay?"
Obviously.
She couldn't say no.
Su Mu nodded slightly.
There was finally a relaxed smile on the corner of his lips.
