Lu Ying furrowed his brows and said solemnly, "You and I are not ordinary husband and wife. On our shoulders lies the responsibility of the kingdom and the people. How can we dream of 'one lifetime, one couple'?"
Shen Yunxi pouted.
What kingdom, what people—what did any of that have to do with her?
She choked, saying, "I can't fit so many things in my heart. In my heart, there's only you, Your Highness! Whenever I see other women getting close to you, I feel bitter and jealous, wishing I could kill them all! That way, they wouldn't pester you or offend my eyes!"
"Shen Yunxi, you are destined to become my Empress. As the mother of the nation, you must protect the women of the harem, not plot against them."
Shen Yunxi rolled her eyes.
Protect the other women in the harem?!
What wishful thinking!
She wished they were all dead so she could have the Crown Prince to herself!
Seeing her utter disregard, Lu Ying grew more irritated and said coldly, "Think it over yourself."
