He had wanted her to feel pity, but he didn’t expect her reaction to be so intense .
It made him unsure of how to continue .
Afraid that he wouldn’t believe it, Bai Weiwei suddenly twisted her body off the bed .
Feng Yunian sat up but saw Bai Weiwei hurrying back . She tripped on the veil and fell onto the bed .
He immediately reached out, wanting to help her .
But halfway, he suddenly frowned and withdrew his partially outstretched hands .
He only felt loathing for her . How could she affect his mood?
Bai Weiwei didn’t see his movement . She lifted her head, then reached out and handed him a command token1 .
“Take it . Whoever bullies you will be put to death . ”
Feng Yunian stared at it, not knowing what it was for a moment before he saw the token in his hand .
A golden “heaven (天)” character .
His fingers shook . Even he, someone with such sinister thoughts, nearly revealed his real emotions .
This was… the empress’s command token2 .
Beheading first before informing the empress, commanding the royal guard, freely entering and leaving the palace3 .
It was like being in the presence of the empress .
This token had the same effect as the imperial jade seal4 .
Feng Yunian tightly clutched the token . This was the power he had always wanted .
He had thought of it day and night .
He released the token, his tone gentle as he said, “Your Majesty, how could such an important thing be given to me? Please take it back . ”
Bai Weiwei lay on her back with her hands behind her head, her brows raised, and her eyes full of a willful shine .
“If I say I’ll give it to you, then I’ll give it to you . We haven’t even held a wedding ceremony yet, so how can you nag as though you’re already my husband?”
Feng Yunian pursed his lips, but he continued to try . “Your Majesty, this is too precious…”
Bai Weiwei impatiently turned her head away . “Well, if it weren’t precious, I wouldn’t give it, ne . If you feel uneasy taking it, then give me something as compensation, ba . ”
Feng Yunian’s eyes looked warm, but the emotions within were entirely still .
“What does Your Majesty want me to do?”
Bai Weiwei tilted her head to look at him . “Smile . ”
Feng Yunian was puzzled, “En?”
Bai Weiwei smiled widely . “Just like this . Smile at me . ”
Feng Yunian felt doubtful . It was just this?
He tried to show a faint smile, elegant and soft .
Exuding an unspoken, but deep, love .
Bai Weiwei shook her head . “Not like that . With happiness . ”
Feng Yunian hesitated, then tried to smile more brightly .
Bai Weiwei heaved a heavy sigh . “I can’t even laugh . ”
Saying this, she lunged at him . Her hands reached out to tickle his armpits .
Feng Yunian, successfully caught off guard, couldn’t help but let out a laugh .
His features relaxed, his smile lit up, and the darkness in his eyes dispersed .
Bai Weiwei released him . She cupped his face and said, satisfied, “That’s right, ah . My man needs to be happy, like this . ”
Feng Yunian had never laughed so freely . He pursed his lips, his breathing irregular .
His heartbeat also began to speed up .
He was silent for a moment before he smiled again .
This smile was different from the brightness from before, but it was like a slowly unfurling blossom . The initially gentle and delicate face became elegant and noble .
They were still the same features as before, but they were vivid and bright .
Bai Weiwei, bewitched, dazedly stared at him .
Feng Yunian calmly lowered his head . His breaths brushed across her face . “Then thank you, Your Majesty . I will accept this gift . ”
Bai Weiwei’s face turned red . She turned her head, somewhat flustered . Then, feeling a little agitated, she immediately pretended not to care .
“What thank you, my man doesn’t need to say thank you . Alright, sleep, ba . ”
Saying this, she pulled the quilt up, then turned on her side with her back facing him .
“I know you’re not ready, so I won’t touch you until after we are married . ”
Feng Yunian gazed at her beautiful figure from behind and couldn’t help but laugh again .
Who would have thought that this woman, who was so unwavering when killing, would be so pure .
【Ding . The male lead’s favorability has increased to 0 . 】 .
He belatedly realized with a start that he had laughed too much .
Feng Yunian’s eyes gradually cooled again . The smile at the corner of his mouth turned somewhat crooked .
He looked down at the token in his hand .
Was this not better, to use her to get everything that he wanted?
And one day, he would be able to stand at the top .
“Hurry and sleep, ba . ” Bai Weiwei’s words suddenly interrupted his dark contemplation .
Feng Yunian watched her stretch out her hand to pull most of the quilt towards her side .
His heart inexplicably warmed .
【Ding . The male lead’s favorability has increased to 5 . 】 .
Or perhaps, if he succeeded later, not killing her was alright .
1: 令牌: a wooden token of authority . They were used as an identification of one’s status/rank or clan affiliation, as well as the power to enjoy the privileges that come with that status . ↩

2: 天子: the son/child of heaven, another term for the emperor . I believe this is because the imperial family is sometimes said to be descended from immortals/the heavens/decreed as the rightful ruler by the heavens?? Don’t quote me on that . ↩
3: 先斩后奏,指挥禁军,自由出入宫廷: all of these are EXTREMELY rare and valuable privileges . Such privileges are usually limited to the imperial family (or even to just the emperor himself), or on the rare occasion, very highly trusted officials that have performed a worthy deed or are much favored . ↩
4: 玉玺: used to stamp official documents and edicts, I believe? To hold the imperial jade seal is equivalent to declaring oneself as the emperor or having the authority of one . ↩
