Chapter 1: Broken Dreams

Next Chapter

Mu Yan's hands were clenched, his face was bloodless, and he bit his lower lip with his teeth, trembling uncontrollably as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Light gauze and red candles, this should have been her foil, and she should have been overjoyed. But at this moment...... She couldn't laugh at all.

On the festive red sheets, the place where she originally slept with her husband tonight was occupied at this time. Today, there is another person who entered the gate of this palace with her, a woman from the most prosperous kiln building on the ten-mile long street, a singer who moved the capital, Liu Feixu.

At this moment, she snuggled in the man's arms, like a hostess. Seeing someone coming in, I looked sideways, and happened to see Mu Yan standing at the door. met the other party's red eyes with anger, not only did not have a trace of panic, but smiled more and more unscrupulously.

Tsk, what about the granddaughter of the high priest? On the wedding night, didn't the prince have a hot fight with one of her concubines? How could she not be proud of even openly showing her affection in the marriage room that belonged to her?

"Shen Li!"

Finally, Mu Yan couldn't hold back any longer, trembled his voice, and shouted out the name of the man on the bed.

That's right, Shen Li. The most talented of the many princes of the Daming Dynasty is a popular candidate for the crown prince and her husband.

I've been obsessed with him since I was a child, and I've longed to marry him one day. After the sudden death of her beloved grandfather, the emperor was merciful and married her to the person she had always liked on the grounds that her parents had died early and that she needed to be taken care of.

God knows how happy she was when she heard the news. Like all women waiting to be married, she was nervous, but also expectant. There was a hint of fear, but more of a joy.

Shen Li is the third prince of the Daming Dynasty, and the person who is most likely to sit on the throne of the crown prince. She is the daughter of the high priest of the Daming Dynasty, and her status is also particularly prominent. The wedding of the two of them was naturally very grand, and the people of the entire imperial capital seemed to be congratulating their union. Everywhere her sedan chair went, the people knelt down and worshipped, and the gongs and drums were noisy. knocked and knocked all the way, and sent her to the Ruiwang Mansion that she had longed to live in since she was a child.

worshiped heaven and earth, thinking that everything was settled, and she would live a very happy life. But she didn't expect that her personal maid looked at the layout of the new house, frowned and muttered why is it so simple? At this time, the maids who sent her into the cave room told her that this marriage room was not hers, and the prince married another woman as a concubine today. This new house was supposed to belong to the concubine, but ...... The prince ordered someone to take the concubine to Mu Yan's new house.

When Mu Yan heard this, she immediately lifted her hijab, and rushed into the new house that the girl said just now that originally belonged to her. When I opened the door, I saw the scene in front of me.

The man heard someone call him, and finally lazily walked away from the woman. turned his head sideways and saw that it was Mu Yan, and immediately pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Yo, this is not the king's concubine. Why, don't you wait in the new house, you can't wait to be happy with your husband?"

Mu Yan's face turned pale, and there was a heart-wrenching pain in her heart reminding her that everything was true. All her dreams and all her expectations were shattered, and this man she had always loved so much broke her heart like this!

"Shen Li, you are shameless!"

Mu Yan's head was blank, and her anger had made her lose her mind. I saw her roar, and casually grabbed the vase placed aside and smashed it at the man on the bed.

"Yikes!"

The woman on the bed exclaimed a little, but Shen Li waved her hand unhurriedly, and the vase slammed into the wall with a snapping sound.

Seeing that it didn't hit, Mu Yan picked up another vase in a hurry. But she hadn't moved yet, but Shen Li had already narrowed her eyes.

"Presumptuous!"

The palm wind swept by, and Mu Yan felt as if her body had been hit by something, causing her to fall backwards in pain, and her back slammed against the door, making a loud noise. There was a fishy-sweet taste in her mouth, and she couldn't help but cough. Immediately after, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she covered her chest, her already pale face became more and more difficult to look at.

With shocked and sad emotions, Mu Yan's consciousness began to blur. But even so, she couldn't help but look up, wanting to look at someone's face. The face she's been longing to touch since she was a child. That, the man she loved from the bottom of her heart.

"Shen Li......"

Her vision was blurry, and she blinked a few times, but she could barely see a vague shadow. She opened her mouth to call out his name, but her voice was so sound that she couldn't hear it clearly.

"Leaving my brother, when Yan'er grows up, I want to be your bride, okay?"

When he finally closed his eyes weakly, Mu Yan raised a faint smile. As I used to sleep every night, I fell into a deep dream. This time, she thought, the dream should be long, long. And she never wanted to wake up again.

"King, lord, she...... You're not going to die, are you?"

The woman on the bed was a little scared and didn't dare to tease Shen Li, she should have been very happy to see Mu Yan being beaten. But since Mu Yan's mouthful of blood spurted out to now falling into a coma, she began to be frightened.

The prince was able to marry her as a concubine, and even treated her so favorably in front of the bride on the wedding day, she was naturally proud. But Mu Yan is the granddaughter of the high priest, and this wedding is also given by the emperor himself. Even if Shen Li is unwilling, this superficial effort still has to be done.

But now Mu Yan was actually injured by the prince, and the prince's palm just now was not light, and the appearance of the delicate person spitting blood from her mouth really scared her.

Hearing this, Shen Li frowned slightly, got up and got out of bed, took a piece of clothing and put it on his body, and walked towards Mu Yan. He was measured in the palm just now, but he only punished him slightly, so that this delicate woman was not allowed to be presumptuous anymore. But seeing that she actually vomited blood and fell into a coma, he was a little uncertain this time.

Walking to Mu Yan's side, Shen Li squatted down and just stretched out his hand to probe her pulse, but unexpectedly, the unconscious little man suddenly opened his mouth and bit his finger fiercely.
