Chapter 127 You Dare

Seeing Jiang Chen waver, Mei Ruoying's phoenix eyes flashed with contempt.

*Dog Emperor*, so tough on the surface, but now he's still falling for her charms, isn't he?

She lowered her beautiful eyes, concealing the coldness within.

Mei Ruoying pinched the hem of her gauze skirt, revealing bit by bit her glistening, pink-white jade legs, moistened by the water vapor, straight and slender, like exquisite works of art, making one eager to pounce on them and caress them carefully.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied with what you see?"

"Since our farewell in the palace, this concubine hasn't seen you for so long… Alas, these days, whenever this concubine thinks of the three thousand beauties in the harem, I become panicked, afraid that you'll be intoxicated with pleasure and forget about this concubine!"

A hint of sorrow floated on Mei Ruoying's pretty face, her coquettish appearance making it seem as if she and Jiang Chen were still a loving couple, which was puzzling.

Jiang Chen couldn't guess her purpose, only silently remaining vigilant in his heart, and said coldly, "Put away these tricks, they don't work on me."

"I warn you, this room is already surrounded by the Imperial Guards and Shadow Guardians, even if your skills are high, you can't escape."

"Be wise and tell me the whereabouts of Xu Jiaying, and the list of rebels colluding with your father. As long as you cooperate honestly, I can give you a lighter sentence!"

Hearing this, Mei Ruoying burst into a few delicate laughs, not only unafraid, but even faintly excited.

"I didn't expect Your Majesty to value this concubine so much, just to meet once, and you actually secretly arranged for the Imperial Guards."

"With such a grand formation, among the harem concubines, this concubine is probably the only one, right?"

Jiang Chen's scalp felt a little numb. How did this woman become so crazy? She was even more difficult to deal with than she was in the palace before!

He couldn't help but frown and said, "Mei Ruoying, I don't have time to waste with you. If you don't confess, I will…"

Before he could finish speaking, Mei Ruoying raised her beautiful face, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Your Majesty, a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of grace. It's not easy for you and this concubine to meet, why are you so fierce?"

"Besides, since this concubine dared to come, would I not have a way to leave?"

After saying that, she slightly raised her jade legs, extending her exquisite jade feet, still carrying water droplets, and said coquettishly, "Don't you want to come over and caress them, and take control of this concubine?"

As her red lips parted, one could faintly glimpse the pink tongue behind her pearly teeth.

Bewitching and soul-stirring, making one's blood boil!

If Jiang Chen hadn't just favored Consort Shu not long ago, he might really have fallen for this enchantress's tricks!

He shifted his gaze, and said coldly, "Kidnapping, scheming, seduction… Mei Ruoying, are these the only underhanded methods you know?"

"It's a waste that your father, Mei Wenshi, is considered a hero, how could he raise a daughter like you who knows no shame? Also, I'm not one of those fools who are blinded by beauty. I advise you to put away these base tricks, and I might think more highly of you!"

As soon as these words came out, Mei Ruoying's pretty face instantly twisted.

Jiang Chen's contempt was like two loud slaps in the face, causing her to uncontrollably rise in anger and humiliation, and a resentful look appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are being too harsh!"

She hooked her red lips, revealing her white teeth: "To tell you the truth, this concubine has had a habit since childhood, whoever makes this concubine unhappy, this concubine will retaliate a hundredfold, a thousandfold."

"It's just a pity that you are the current Emperor, and this concubine doesn't have the ability to touch you… so I can only wrong myself a little and vent my anger on the people you care about."

"It just so happens that Sister Xu is in this concubine's hands, so let her reluctantly apologize to Your Majesty on your behalf!"

The malice that came at him made Jiang Chen tense up and shout angrily, "You dare!"

Mei Ruoying's red lips were slightly raised, her curved beautiful eyes full of provocation: "Doesn't Your Majesty know best whether this concubine dares or not?"

Seeing this, Jiang Chen's face instantly turned ugly.

When this woman wasn't exposed, she dared to set fire to the palace and destroy evidence, being extremely bold and reckless.

Now that she has lost her restraints, she will probably be even more crazy.

If she really had evil intentions towards Xu Jiaying, the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen compromised. After a moment of silence, he showed goodwill: "Ahem, just now, just now I was too harsh, you, you don't take it to heart."

"As long as you don't touch Xu Jiaying, I can agree to any conditions you propose, depending on the situation."

"Of course, the premise is that this condition cannot be excessive, and cannot shake the foundation of the Great Wei Dynasty."

Hearing this, a complex look flashed in Mei Ruoying's phoenix eyes, and an indescribable sourness surged in her heart.

She had experienced Jiang Chen's tough methods, but now, such a person was compromising with the enemy for a woman who had betrayed him and was full of hatred for him.

At this moment, she really didn't recognize Jiang Chen, and she was a little confused about herself.

Concealing her emotions, Mei Ruoying's pretty face turned cold: "Your Majesty's feelings for Sister Xu make this concubine very jealous."

"If you had been like this back then, and made a slight compromise with this concubine, perhaps this concubine would have been moved, and would have been willing to stop and persuade my father to fully support you."

Jiang Chen's gaze was indifferent: "You're quite the dreamer… but my harem doesn't need poisonous women, and the court doesn't need powerful officials!"

"The master of this Great Wei Dynasty is only me!"

Mei Ruoying looked at him with gloomy beautiful eyes, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, your face is comparable to Sister Xu's, so thick that it makes this concubine angry."

"Back then, when you hadn't secured the throne, you were so kind to my Mei family, and said that the country couldn't do without my father. Now that your wings have hardened, the Mei family is an eyesore to you, right?"

"Don't you look in the mirror and see your own virtue? If it weren't for our support, would you be worthy of sitting on the throne?!"

As she spoke, the resentment on her pretty face became more and more intense. She stood up, her cold gaze pressing towards Jiang Chen: "In the end, you are an ungrateful villain! A good-for-nothing!"

"Our Mei family's power grab was all forced by you!"

"You are the culprit for causing today's situation!"

Jiang Chen sneered, too lazy to argue with this woman: "Just say what you want, I have nothing to argue with you."

"Hand over Xu Jiaying, and I will spare your life! If you remain stubborn, I will take your life now."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen leaned over, staring coldly at the woman in front of him with a strong sense of oppression: "Mei Ruoying, even if you don't care about your own life, you should consider the orphans of the Mei family, right?"

"They are your only remaining relatives in this world, are you willing to see them die?"

Mei Ruoying raised her head, her expression was a smile, but not a smile, her beautiful face revealing a chilling ruthlessness: "Unwilling? Your Majesty, why would this concubine be unwilling?"

"Some distant relatives, being able to sacrifice their lives for this concubine is their honor!"

As she spoke, she moved her lotus steps lightly, approaching Jiang Chen, her stunningly beautiful face bewitching: "My good Emperor, you really don't understand this concubine, it makes people feel so sad…"
