"An insignificant skill." The black skeleton said this and completely ignored the small dagger. It even disdained hiding until the dagger stabbed into its skull. Suddenly, a sharp pain came, "Ah, you can actually injure me!"

"Since I can hurt you once, I can naturally hurt you twice as well." Mu Xiaoling calmly observed the skull. But before she could finish her sentence, the skull slipped through the gap in the door and disappeared into the night.

When Mu Xiaoling opened the door to take a look, she saw that the palace maid had collapsed on the ground with Xue Qing impressively among them. She once again returned to her bed and carefully observed the dagger.

The dagger was just an ordinary dagger. Only the white powder on the tip of the blade was eye-catching. Mu Xiaoling wiped it with his finger and rubbed it again. He placed it under his nose and sniffed. "Lime?"

Could it be that the monster was afraid of lime?

"He was afraid of lime." At this time, Xin Mingyun also walked in. He was emitting a faint smell of alcohol as he sat on the bed and looked at Mu Xiaoling with a smile, "Why haven't you recognized me yet?"

Mu Xiaoling frowned. "Who are you? Should I know you?"

"I'm Xiao Yu, this isn't a real world, and isn't an environment, but a dream made up from a nightmare."

This was what it was like to dream. It was difficult to wake up and realize that you were dreaming, but when someone told you that you were dreaming, everything went together in an instant.

Mu Xiaoling felt as though a barrier had been pierced through in her mind. A flood of memories surrounded her.

She tightly closed her eyes, her face somewhat pale. Fortunately, she finally remembered that the person in front of her wasn't Xin Mingyun, but Xiao Yu.

"You fell asleep too?"

"Nightmares are not as easy to deal with as they seem." Xiao Yu, on the other hand, was calm. "I guessed that it would have plotted against me long ago."

Mu Xiaoling asked, "What was that just now?"

Xiao Yu said, "It's a nightmare. A nightmare has a ten percent chance of creating a dream. What do you think is the reason that the nightmare evades us and refuses to explain the dream?" He sneered and continued, "It's just because Nightmare has taken over the control of Dreamland that it can't interfere. It's just a coincidence that there's an emperor in the dream, and the emperor has the aura of a dragon, which just so happens to be the food of Nightmare. That's why he's so healthy and strong."

Mu Xiaoling, on the other hand, wasn't aware of all of this. Ever since she arrived in this world, she was exhausted and didn't know much about this world. It seemed that she needed to find some time to read a book and say, "We still don't know where the explanation for this dream lies."

Xiao Yu comforted her, "It must be somewhere close to Nightmare's reach. Nightmare appeared in the palace, and the dream started in the palace. That point must be in the palace.

Mu Xiaoling felt that Xiao Yu's words to comfort her were strange, but she couldn't find it strange at all. After all, this was the truth.

Xiao Yu took off his shirt, "Then let's rest."

Mu Xiaoling's entire body went stiff from Xiao Yu's actions, even her expression couldn't remain calm. The corner of her mouth twitched as she embarrassedly asked, "We're living together?"

Xiao Yu's brows slightly rose, "Have you forgotten that you're my son's consort? Today is our wedding night, so naturally we will have our wedding ceremony. Right now, Nightmare still doesn't know where we might be able to peek at since we've recovered our memories. If we don't put on an act now, we might be exposed.

"Fine." Mu Xiaoling had never gotten so close to a man before, but what Xiao Yu said was the truth. It was just a dream and that was all. If it wasn't a dream, he wouldn't be able to make Nightmare suspect him.

Mu Xiaoling saw that Xiao Yu was only wearing a shirt and was getting closer and closer. Her face was almost touching Xiao Yu's face as a warm breath landed on her face, causing every nerve to tense up.

Xiao Yu stretched out his hands and pushed the young man onto the bed. He saw that Mu Xiaoling had her eyes closed, as if she had just been bitten by a dog. He shook his head helplessly.

He wanted Mu Xiaoling to become his Demon Consort because there really wasn't anyone in this world who could be so charming and make him so excited.

In the end, he was only scaring the other party.

Xiao Yu sighed as he lightly took off Mu Xiaoling's outer clothes and laid her on the bed. After that, he laid down on the other side and pulled her into his embrace. "This is it for today, go to sleep."

Mu Xiaoling made up her mind to let Xiao Yu play with her. However, the nervousness in her heart increased as Xiao Yu moved. When she had reached her limit, Xiao Yu let her go.

Mu Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly felt tired and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already the morning of the second day.

Since they still had to wake up early to have some tea served, they naturally couldn't sleep until they woke up naturally. Fortunately, the two of them weren't lustful of sleep, so they quickly tidied up the mess.

Mu Xiaoling changed into the imperial concubine robe for Xue Qing and followed the crown prince into the imperial study.

The Crown Prince's birth mother had died a long time ago, so they only had to serve the Emperor tea.

The royal study was still the same as before. Even the servants were still the same empress Lin Eunuch in front of the emperor.

The only difference was that the emperor's appearance couldn't be considered good. His complexion was clean and his two black bags looked like they were painted with black eyeshadow. The black bags were enough to match the smoky clothes.

However, the emperor himself didn't feel anything. He didn't feel sick at all. He even laughed out loud and said with a tone full of vigor, "Both of you are good kids. Come here."

As Mu Xiaoling walked over, a small eunuch brought a tray with a cup of hot tea.

She held it up and placed it in front of the emperor. "Father, please have some tea." As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously glanced over and caught sight of the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal on the table.

It was carved from a piece of Hetian jade in the simple style and grand style. It was placed inside a red clay box. It seemed that the Emperor was just about to seal it when they entered.

Mu Xiaoling retracted his gaze and subconsciously looked at Eunuch Lin. He saw Eunuch Lin looking at him warily, as if he was afraid that he would snatch away the hereditary Imperial Jade Seal.

Mu Xiaoling was rather speechless. She was just a young lady, yet she didn't want to be the emperor? What was she going to do with the Imperial Jade Seal?

She directly ignored him. After the Emperor drank the tea and received his reward, she retreated to the side.

Xiao Yu spoke to the Emperor about some national affairs before letting the two leave only after they were due to enter the imperial court.

Mu Xiaoling was walking along the road when she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She stood still and asked, "What do you think about that Eunuch Lin? Is something wrong?"
