Chu Ning's heart moved, he stopped, looked up at the still bright sky, with a bit of alienation and caution in his attitude, and replied: "Tomorrow I will go back to the East Palace, I think the weather is fine today, and I want to walk nearby. Let's go, it's rare that the chief supervisor is also interested in walking around the garden."
As she spoke, she instructed a few maids behind her who were holding Empress Dowager Qi's reward to return to the East Palace first, leaving Cui He alone, and the two master and servant walking slowly on the road as if nothing had happened.
"With the sympathy of the saint, the old slave can temporarily leave the imperial front today, and I don't want to meet His Highness." Liu Kang's expression remained unchanged, and he continued after the few palace servants turned the corner and disappeared, "I remember, from the Lingyan Pavilion overlooks the entire Taiji Palace, with an excellent view, so it should be a good place for viewing.”
At this time, there was no one else in sight, Chu Ning could not help but follow his meaningful gaze to the three-storey pavilion on the side of the ramp not far away, and slowly recollected it in his heart.
"The supervisor is right. I've been married to the East Palace for more than two years, and I haven't set foot in Lingyan Pavilion yet. I'm here today, and I really should take a look."
Seeing her being so talkative, Liu Kang couldn't help but nod his head again and again, his slightly old face wrinkled with a smile: "Your Highness, please do it yourself."
After that, he turned around and walked towards the other road beside Lingyan Pavilion.
"The lady is really going?" Cui He asked in a low voice, staring at the side.
Chu Ning kept walking, nodded and said, "Why don't you go?" Then he pointed to the opposite side of Liu Kang's direction, "Go there, try to stop in a place with fewer people and wait for me. "
Cui He hesitated for a moment, then followed her words nervously and left.
After the late emperor left, the former concubines and concubines have moved out of the Taiji Palace one after another. Now, in this huge palace, besides the emperor, only the empress dowager, the prince and her three live. There are not many people, and this place There are many embroidered statues of heroes of the Great Liang Dynasty. On weekdays, almost no one will come except for sweeping, and Liu Kang and others are guarding nearby, so there is no need to worry about being seen by others.
The two little servants who had just stood under the steps had consciously followed Liu Kang, and Chu Ning stepped into the pavilion alone, stepping on the wooden stairs step by step, going up.
The hoarse voice echoed in the quiet pavilion, reaching the ears of the tall man standing by the window on the top floor and looking south.
"What's the matter?" In the bright sunshine, he remained motionless and asked lightly.
There was no expected response from behind, only the sound of unhurried footsteps getting closer. He suddenly realized that something was wrong, and turned around suddenly, but his alert eyes just met a pair of eyes like autumn water.
It is the unforgettable beautiful face that appears and disappears from time to time in the dream.
He felt that there seemed to be a layer of mist in front of him, and he could not help narrowing his eyes vigilantly, trying to clear the cloud and see the truth.
Those two blushing lips that were smeared with lip balm gently opened, and uttered five soft words: "Your Majesty, it's your niece."
…
In the Wanchun Hall, Xiao Yucai came back from the Ministry of Industry and Government Office, and was seeing several palace servants coming back with ginseng, deer antler, angelica and other nourishing medicines.
"This is from the Baifu Palace? Where's the Crown Princess?" He stopped by the door of the main hall, his eyes swept away from the surrounding people.
One of them hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, it is indeed a reward from the Queen Mother, who said that it is for Her Highness to nourish and recuperate the body. Seeing that it was still early, Her Royal Highness took Cuihe for a walk and ordered the slaves to come back first. At this moment, it is about Still in the backyard."
Xiao Yu didn't speak, strode into the hall, took the hot towel handed over by the maid and wiped his face, then stood where he was, spread his arms, and the maid changed his clothes.
The room was quiet, the atmosphere was depressed, everyone didn't dare to make a sound, and looked down at their toes nervously.
Xiao Yu glanced at the empty inner room, and his mood became more and more irritable.
Today, Wei Fujing handed over news from the Ministry of Punishment, saying that Liang Biao's case has been investigated almost completely. The charges previously investigated by the Censor are not bad, and there is solid evidence. There is absolutely no possibility of overturning the case, and he should be convicted in a few days. sentenced.
After Hou Tongyi, in just one month, he completely lost another supporter.
Even if it was just a Cangzhou governor who was not very closely related, it made him feel a chill in his heart.
For some reason, he had a hunch that the sixth uncle was playing him in the palm of his hand, and keeping him at this time was just for some fun.
He is gradually struggling in such a situation, and there are a few courtiers around him who are not very firm, and the courtiers on both sides show an attitude to draw a clear line.
Even Xu Rong's previous suggestion to let him take a concubine and the sudden summoning of Empress Dowager Qi today made him more and more anxious.
He desperately needs an outlet to vent his emotions and stress.
Therefore, after finishing his work in the Ministry of Industry, he didn't stay and talk to others as usual, he just wanted to come back quickly and see Aning.
Who knows, she hasn't come back yet.
The maids in the hall were usually a little afraid of him, but seeing his face getting more and more gloomy at this time, she was more afraid to provoke him, she just wanted to unbutton his clothes and take off his robe as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, it was the moment when the belt was loosened, and he pushed the maid away impatiently, scolding: "Useless thing, go down."
The maid hurriedly stepped back and bowed carefully.
"Come on, get ready."
He simply did not stay in the empty hall, and after re-arranging his clothes, he strode towards the back garden.
…
In the quiet backyard, the chimes of the time-keeping bell rang out from the Foguang Temple, slowly resounding through the heavens and the earth.
In Lingyan Pavilion, Xiao Kezhi was brought back to his senses by this simple and melodious sound.
He stood by the window and didn't move, just stared at her tightly, making it hard to tell the difference between happiness and anger: "Who asked you to come up?"
Chu Ning's expression did not change, but she understood in her heart that it seemed that the hint that Liu Kang had just given her was her own opinion.
She pursed her lips and chuckled, took a step silently under her feet, raised her head so that her profile was bathed in the golden sunlight, her steamy eyes usually seemed pure and dignified, but at this moment there was a subtle and charming look. style.
"Nice-niece came by herself, no one is guarding outside Lingyan Pavilion. Who knew that His Majesty would be there?"
When Xiao Ke heard it, he knew that it was Liu Kang who made an assertion and attracted this woman.
He sneered, but did not feel disgusted in his heart, looked away from her red lips, and said expressionlessly: "What are you here for today?"
Last time, she said she wanted to pour tea for him, what excuse should she use this time
Chu Ning blinked and took a step closer: "Today, my niece would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness and show mercy to His Royal Highness."
When Xiao Kezhi heard the words, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and said with a bit of mockery: "Why do you think I do this?"
His words seemed to laugh at her being amorous, thinking that he made such an arrangement for her.
Chu Ning was not annoyed, just went a step further and finally stopped a step away from him, raised his head and said pitifully: "No matter what your majesty is doing, my niece only knows that your majesty's arrangement did temporarily save the prince and his nephew. Life."
The beauty is close at hand, Xiao Kezhi's eyes darkened little by little.
He stretched out his hand and squeezed her chin lightly, forcing her to raise her face even higher, completely revealing it in front of him.
"Then who did you come to thank me today? For yourself, or for the prince?"
She has long eyelashes and light fans, her eyes are charming, and there is a bit of grievance in her soft tone: "Naturally, it is for herself. His Majesty is merciful to the prince, and his niece has a place to stay temporarily."
The full red lips opened and closed, unknowingly attracting his gaze.
The thumb on her lower jaw moved up slowly, stroking back and forth on her plump and soft lower lip, from light to heavy.
"I don't like women who play tricks. You approached me several times, aren't you afraid of self-defeating?"
He leaned closer, and his rough voice became more hoarse.
Chu Ning didn't answer, just gave him a charming smile, then opened her red lips, stuck out the tip of her tongue, and swept over the tip of his thumb as he rubbed her lips.
The extremely fine and soft touch swept across quickly, making his fingertips hot, and he almost subconsciously moved his hand away.
However, the next moment, she seemed to be taking an inch, and she gently bit the fingertips with her teeth, and slowly put it into her mouth under his unblinking gaze.
The warm and soft touch came from the thumb very clearly, and a burst of hotness and numbness that was stronger than before was quickly transmitted to the heart along the fingertips, and then spread to the limbs and bones.
"you-"
Rao is that no matter how tightly he held the dominance, he couldn't help but disturb the rhythm by her extraordinarily bold move.
It was only his words that she said, and she let it go again, as if she had done nothing to answer his words just now: "My niece would be so active, isn't it His Majesty's intention to condone it?"
These words directly exposed his disguise.
Yes, both of them are adult men and women, and they clearly see each other's intentions. She can approach him again and again, naturally, it is inseparable from his connivance and hints.
He paused for a moment, and then no longer pretended to be unmoved and indifferent, but directly wrapped his arms around her waist and forced her into his arms.
The slender and soft body collided with the tall and strong chest, and then they fit tightly and rubbed together spontaneously, and even the temperature around them gradually increased.
With the other hand on the back of her neck, he leaned over to kiss her strongly, and pushed her back until she slammed into the window frame. Lingfeng danced in midair.
Chu Ning was startled, for fear that he would be seen.
But there was silence all around, except for the sound of kisses and the sound of the very fine breeze blowing the robe, only the crisp birdsong.
With Liu Kang leading people around, it should be fine...
She relaxed slowly, no longer trying to pull the sleeves back.
However, before a heart completely fell, the voice below made her heart rise again.
"Wimmer!"
It was the guard who was calling the gray wolf, and then there was a commotion, mixed with the voice of the servant's apology.
"The slave did not intend to collide, I beg His Highness for forgiveness!"
Chu Ning looked out the window from the corner of his eye, and saw Xiao Yu riding a chariot on a ramp not far away. In front of him was the gray wolf Vimo who was stopped by two guards. It seemed that he was traveling. It suddenly rushed out of the road and blocked the road.
