Now, recalling that moment, Long Huan's heart was still filled with lingering fear. He silently vowed to protect her with the rest of his life.
"Ouch!" Minjin suddenly exclaimed, a look of pain crossing her face.
Long Huan snapped back to reality, startled, and hurriedly leaned in to check on her.
His brows furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with worry and concern.
However, when he saw a triumphant smile gradually appearing on Minjin's face, he suddenly understood, shaking his head helplessly, though his eyes were filled with affection.
"I just learned some methods for treating burns. Let me take care of you," Long Huan said with a charming smile, his expression as warm and captivating as the sun in spring.
Minjin looked up curiously, her eyes sparkling with confusion and anticipation. Just then, Long Huan's handsome face loomed closer, casting a shadow over her. Suddenly, her lips were covered by warmth; Long Huan's kiss came crashing down on her like an overwhelming tide, filled with endless love and longing.
A sweet warmth surged within Minjin's heart as she slightly closed her eyes, savoring this beautiful moment.
" Minjin, let’s have a child together next year on this day!" Long Huan's warm lips gently glided over hers, trailing kisses to her earlobe. His voice was soft and infatuated.
The warm breath brushed against Minjin's ear, causing her body to shiver slightly.
Her face instantly turned crimson, like the brilliant sunset on the horizon.
Shyly lowering her head, she shot Long Huan a playful glare before leaning against his shoulder in embarrassment and gently nodding.
She believed that she had won this gamble completely.
The act of risking her life to save the emperor was merely a carefully orchestrated ploy on her part.
Those assassins were her trusted subordinates, rigorously trained and utterly loyal to her.
On that day, as the assassin swung his large blade, he skillfully flicked a small stone towards Consort Chang, who was cradled in Long Huan's arms.
Consort Chang was caught off guard; the sudden stimulation to her acupoint instinctively made her push Long Huan towards the blade. Everything seemed like an accident, but it was all under Minjin's control.
Though her actions were somewhat reckless, she had won; she had captured Long Huan's heart.
Now, the bond between her and Long Huan was as solid as rock, and all past misunderstandings and conflicts had dissipated into thin air.
Minjin and Long Huan's relationship gradually deepened, and the entire harem appeared harmonious. Yet beneath this calm facade, turbulent currents were stirring.
Some consorts harbored jealousy towards Minjin's favored status; they often gathered to gossip behind her back.
Among them was a consort named Wan Pin, who came from an official family and prided herself on her talents. She had long desired the emperor's favor, and now seeing Minjin monopolizing his affection only intensified her resentment.
"The Empress is merely relying on her background and a few tricks to deceive the emperor. Hmph! I refuse to believe she can continue to be so pleased with herself," Wan Pin complained to her trusted maid in her palace.
"Your Highness, please don't be upset; there will always be opportunities," the maid quickly comforted her.
Wan Pin's eyes twinkled as a plan formed in his mind. "I heard that the Empress is preparing for a palace banquet. We can use this banquet to our advantage."
Meanwhile, the previous court was not without its own turmoil. The ministers held differing opinions regarding Minjin's position.
Some ministers believed that Minjin, hailing from the Khorchin Grassland and closely tied to the Mongolian tribes, would strengthen the court's relationship with Mongolia by becoming Empress.
On the other hand, some ministers felt that Minjin's lively personality and lack of composure could disrupt the order of the harem, potentially leading to adverse effects on state affairs.
Long Huan sensed these undercurrents. He had to appease the ministers while also maintaining stability in the harem. Although Minjin was clever and resourceful, she still required his full protection in the midst of such complex palace intrigues.
