Mu Mingtang didn’t know that he actually went out last night as she was fast asleep in her bed. When she woke up the next day, Xie Xuanchen was still fast asleep, with his perfect side profile and fitted eyebrows, he looked handsome and innocent.

How would Mu Mingtang know that there was something going on after she fell asleep.

In fact, they started to share a room because of a misunderstanding. Mu Mingtang initially planned to move out the second day. Yet, the imperial physicians, who were sent over by the imperial court, didn’t plan to even try to cure him. She couldn’t stand it so she temporarily stayed in his bedroom, Xie Xuanchen could then cover for her. If she were to sleep alone in another bedroom, there certainly would be maids that’ll stay by her bedside. This way, Mu Mingtang would not be able to sneak out alone.

However, plans never keep up with the changes. Without realising, she had stayed here for half a month. Even after they dealt with Imperial Physician Zhang, Mu Mingtang still couldn’t find the right time to move out.

As she had stayed here for a long time, all the maids were used to it. If she suddenly moved out, she was afraid that the outsiders would start gossiping and it would peak their curiosity on what happened between them. It would be even worse, if the imperial physician was exposed just because she moved out.

Mu Mingtang had been thinking about this for a few days and she couldn’t really find a perfect excuse. Xie Xuanchen, on the other side, seemed to have forgotten about this and had never mentioned it before.

Mu Mingtang could only comfort herself that there was still time, and she would have plenty of chances in the future.

After a walk in the garden with Xie Xuanchen, she was thinking about what Xie Xuanchen had mentioned just now. Xie Xuanchen said that the emperor wanted people to respect and admire him. Hence, to show his generosity, he would fulfill any of her demands. No matter what Mu Mingtang did, the Emperor wouldn’t say much to it, and would even help her solve her problems.

How could she not take advantage of this situation and get the best deal out of the emperor? Mu Mingtang tried to test him by tentatively spending a huge sum in the gold store and she almost bought out the whole store.

Sure enough, a few days later, there was another reward from the Empress. Afterwards, Mu Mingtang valued the reward gifted to them, and found that it was just a little more in value than she had spent that day.

It was the Emperor in action. The value of the reward would for sure not be the exact same amount, but the amount was really close or even slightly more than that. Mu Mingtang was relieved, no matter what they did next, the imperial court would definitely do something about it.

At first, the Emperor thought of the fact that Xie Xuanchen was running out of time, so he used the remaining of his time to showcase his kindness and generosity. Hence, no one would talk bad about him once the only son of the former emperor passes.

Tolerating the ruthless behavior of his nephew was obviously one of them. The more Mu Mingtang spent, the more it would reflect on the simplicity of the royal family and the generosity of the Emperor.

At the beginning, the Emperor was very relaxed about it. It was just an act, how much would an ordinary woman like her spend. In exchange for a good reputation with an insignificant amount of money, it was a good bargain.

In the end, the Emperor couldn’t take it anymore. Isn’t Mu Mingtang going too far? She almost bought over the entire gold market in the capital, and now, as soon as the merchants had new gold products, they would immediately come to Princess An.

However, he had already put on an act for so long, if he suddenly stopped right now, it would seem that the Emperor was inconsistent and hypocritical. For the sake of his own reputation and to not waste his effort, the Emperor just continued to spend money on her.

After all, to the Emperor, money was just a number. As long as he could get rid of Xie Xuanchen, it would be worth it no matter how much he spent.

The imperial court had gotten themselves into big trouble, just to keep up with their appearance. Mu Mingtang was very open-minded, she didn’t care about her reputation at all. This was the only chance to get the best deal out of the Emperor. Of course, she would spend as much money as she could and not waste this perfect opportunity.
