The Emperor's thoughts were quick, and in the blink of an eye, he considered many things.
He wondered if she might be a fairy descending from the heavens to face tribulations. If she had to choose, would she still choose him? Without considering power and wealth, there were so many interesting men in the world! In his mind, he recalled their first night together and her inexperienced behavior. Perhaps she just hadn't had the chance to experience other men, so she settled for him? He felt a bit of triumphant glee for being her first, yet he hoped she had experienced all the good in the world and still chose him.
But if he were to let her out to experience the myriad life of the people...
He couldn't do it, he felt so despicable.
His eyes beneath his lashes were shadowy and indistinct, his heart was tied up in a thousand knots.
What was she thinking?
Yun Jiao noticed that after she spoke, the Emperor stayed silent.
Silence it is, then!
