Chapter 14: Why should I be obsessed with a husband with unknown intentions

Views:

"Your Majesty..."

While she reminded softly between kisses, she put her hand against his chest and tried to push him away.

However, as if he didn't care about anything, he turned a deaf ear to the clear conversation coming from outside the window, and still hugged her waist tightly, not allowing her to flinch.

Chu Ning's always sober mind was rarely chaotic for a moment.

Xiao Kezhi's kiss was as strong and hot as she had expected, full of aggression, making her have nowhere to back down. She could only passively lift her head and endure it, as if she could be infected by his boundless enthusiasm at once.

This feeling made her a little unfamiliar, and her breathing became less and less smooth, as if she was going to suffocate the next moment.

Even though she had been married for two years and was no stranger to men and women, she couldn't help being taken aback by his strong presence.

However, no matter how chaotic, she did not ignore the little jerky under his enthusiasm and aggression.

Had he never met another woman before

Such a thought is really surprising.

A twenty-five-year-old young man has been a prince for more than ten years. Even if he is not taken seriously, he has never been married, and there are many other women around him.

As far as she knew, the other princes of the Xiao family, although they had no real power and no one cared about them, were all living a life of drunkenness in various places.

She felt confused.

"Everyone, it's time to go, the Crown Prince has come down..."

Liu Kang's cautious reminder came from his ear, Chu Ning looked towards the stairs with his corner of the eye, and saw him standing by the steps with his head lowered, looking as if he wished he could bury himself underground.

Xiao Kezhi took a bite on her lower lip with a force that was a little heavy but not hurting her, and then he let her go. His deep eyes were full of interest and ridicule, but he was not nervous about being discovered. , as if it wasn't because he heard Liu Kang's words that he stopped moving.

"You just said it right," he said hoarsely, and approached her in front of her, his fingers slowly wiping the dizzy fat from the corners of her lips, "it's true that I condone your daring actions. But you have to be clear, I am the emperor, nine Five Supreme Beings, sit on the world. You are indeed beautiful and bold, but there are so many women in the world, why should I be obsessed with a married woman with unknown intentions?"

These words have been said very clearly, almost completely piercing the hazy window paper between the two.

Rao is that Chu Ning has always been calm, but at this moment, he can't help but feel a little stiff.

She understood that he was right.

Regardless of status or status, she is at an absolute disadvantage.

She hardly had any chips that she could use to exchange with him, which was why she had to risk everything and approach him actively. As for whether to accept it or not, it was all up to him.

She knew she was beautiful, and she knew he had discovered his beauty, but these were obviously not enough for him to take risks.

He is not the Xiao Yu from the beginning, and will marry her for the benefit of her back. To him, she is just a niece that he has never met before, a vulnerable prey that can be killed at any time in his palm. Accepting her niece would not only benefit him at all, but would even cause a lot of trouble. What reason would he have for doing this

Even she herself was shaken.

But in this moment when many thoughts flashed in her mind, she suddenly felt a strange heat coming from the pads of her fingers that were rubbing against her lips.

Her eyes flashed slightly, and she slowly relaxed. No matter how he emphasized it, it couldn't change the fact that he had already moved.

She took out the silk handkerchief she was carrying with her from her sleeves, followed his example, and carelessly wiped the crimson stained on his lips for him.

"Yes, why should Your Majesty be obsessed with a married woman?"

At first glance, these words seem to be pure and innocent doubts, but after thinking about it for a while, you can feel that there are other profound meanings.

She threw the question back like this, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was wiped clean and wrapped around the jade belt around his waist. At a glance, she thought it was an accessory that was already on her body. But if you look more closely, you can see that the white silk is dyed a little bright red.

He suddenly let go of the hand holding her chin, and his face sank.

"Everyone… "

The trembling Liu Kang couldn't help but remind again, seeing the two finally separated this time, his flushed face calmed down a little, but seeing that the prince was getting closer and Xiao Kezhi didn't leave, he was even more anxious. do not know what to do.

Fortunately, Xiao Kezhi obviously didn't want to be discovered by others at this time. After taking a deep look at Chu Ning, he turned around and walked down the stairs. He left the door on the side farther from Xiao Yu and headed towards the Ganlu Palace.

Chu Ning leaned against the window on that side and watched, until his figure drifted away and returned to the window just now.

The turmoil just now had long since passed. At this moment, Cui He was walking in front, leading Xiao Yu's footsteps to Lingyan Pavilion.

She was obviously very nervous. Taking the opportunity of walking in front, she quietly raised her eyes to look up at the attic from time to time. She was relieved when she saw Chu Ning by the window smiling at her, but after a short while, she became worried again.

The prince's face was not very good-looking, and he was obviously very unhappy. At this time, the people around him would always be affected.

After a while, the chariot stopped outside the door, Xiao Yu got off the chariot, motioned for the attendant to wait outside, and stepped inside alone.

At this time, Chu Ning had already sorted out her appearance, and sat alone on a couch in the pavilion. Hearing the sound of the wooden ladder, she turned her face with a smile: "Isn't Your Highness still handling official business in the office? How could this be? Time to come?"

Xiao Yu's extremely gloomy face finally turned slightly the moment he saw her, but he never revealed any more of his own affairs in front of her, so he only answered briefly "It's done", and then he didn't say any more. More to mention.

Chu Ning just asked casually, and when he saw him coming up, he consciously got up to meet him.

Feeling irritable, he stretched out his hand and hooked the belt on her chest and pulled her into his arms. He asked with some dissatisfaction, "It's you, why did you think of Lingyan Pavilion?"

Chu Ning unconsciously remembered what happened just now, and couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, but he put on a somewhat disappointed expression on his face: "I just happened to be passing by, I remembered that I heard that this attic can overlook the Tai Chi Palace. , but I have been married to His Highness for more than two years, but I have never had the opportunity to come and see, so I came in suddenly."

Xiao Yu's face distorted for a moment.

If it wasn't for Xiao Kezhi's sudden appearance, which made him miss the throne that was at his fingertips, this Taiji Palace should belong to him at this moment, why should she be so melancholy

It's a pity that his uncle lives in the Nectar Hall now.

The hatred that has been accumulated for a long time has a tendency to erupt, and his hand on her chest belt is tightening more and more tightly.

The long silk ribbon tightly restrained her full chest, causing her to frown and let out a painful exclamation.

"Your Highness, take it easy..."

However, Xiao Yu didn't seem to hear her words. He only felt that the soft and greasy feeling between his five fingers made his full emotions find a way to vent, and he pulled away her chest-length skirt with force, pressed her down and kissed her. .

The long skirt on the inside slipped off, but the big-sleeved shirt and shawl on the outside were still hanging on her shoulders, making her feel empty.

"His Royal Highness, this is in the Tai Chi Palace—"

She faintly resisted in her heart, and subconsciously wanted to remind him of restraint, but he just recklessly pressed her down on the narrow couch, holding her wrist tightly to prevent her from moving, while lifting the hem of the robe.

"Yes, Tai Chi Palace, it should be my Tai Chi Palace!"

There was an unidentified servant who was holding hot tea. He stepped up the stairs and stuck his head out when he heard a strange voice, and then he caught a glimpse of a scene that made his face red.

He hurriedly lowered his head, looked at the remaining steps, did not dare to go up, turned around quickly, and stumbled downstairs.

But the wooden ladder was a little steep. He was still holding the teapot and teapot in his hands. After walking a few steps, he stepped on the air and rushed forward. Not only did he smash the porcelain in his hand, but he also followed the steps. Gollum rolled to the bottom.

The shattered sharp pieces of porcelain pierced into his arms and thighs, causing him to sweat coldly from the pain, but he couldn't help but dare not cry out, so he couldn't stop waving at the other attendants, beckoning them not to disturb them.

The huge noise came from below, but Xiao Yu still turned a deaf ear.

He pulled Chu Ning up from the couch, took her to the window, pinched her arms from behind, and looked at the Nectar Hall not far away with her.

It was getting darker and darker, the bells rang in the distance, and the jackdaws flew by. The cool autumn wind blowing from the window made Chu Ning shiver.

"I will take it back." He put his face in her ear and whispered fiercely, his breathing was a little unsteady, "An Ning, don't worry, one day, I will make you the queen of Great Liang. "

Chu Ning bit her lower lip tightly, for fear that people outside would hear the movement.

Hearing this, she couldn't help sneering in her heart.

What's the use of her wanting the queen's seat? Not to mention that she didn't believe that he could do it at all, even the position of the current crown prince was obtained by her with the miserable end of the Chu family. What did he take away from her when he promised the queen's seat

Now she has nothing left, the only thing she wants to do is to wash away the grievances for her father, and then take good care of the only remaining Zhao Yanzhou and two cousins.

The boredom in her heart made her unable to help but pretend to look forward to opening her mouth: "Thank you, Your Highness, and—my father, His Highness promised me..."

The people behind him stopped for a moment.

It was this moment of stagnation that made her feel a little wicked.

"I will return his innocence, Aning, don't worry." He waved the strangeness of his heart, and casually said the lies he had told countless times in the past two years.

After half an hour, the little housekeeper of the Ganlu Temple hurried to Liu Kang's side and whispered a few words to him.

Liu Kang frowned and listened, and from time to time he glanced at the emperor who was writing and writing in front of the imperial case, as if he was afraid that he would see it.

Xiao Kezhi didn't look up, but Yu Guang had obviously noticed the movement there.

He put down the pen tube, rubbed his forehead, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu Kang hesitated for a moment, then sneered, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just... His Royal Highness Prince Cai and his concubine went back to Wanchun Palace from Lingyan Pavilion."

In fact, there is another sentence behind - the crown princess looks weak, and even the prince's face is a little tired. It's just that he didn't dare to say that.

However, Xiao Kezhi guessed something from his embarrassed face, and couldn't help but glance in the direction of the leak.

Looking at it, I saw the silk handkerchief that was placed not far away. The handkerchief was embroidered with lotus patterns. It was pure and elegant, but the lotus leaves were stained with a few ambiguous bright reds.

It was the handkerchief brought back from Lingyan Pavilion.

When he just changed his clothes, he didn't seem to notice, and he didn't even look at the handkerchief. The maid who undressed him also consciously didn't say much. He only carefully placed the handkerchief on him under the signal of Liu Kang's eyes. A place you can see when you turn your head.

However, looking at the soft silk handkerchief at the moment, he couldn't stop the anger in his heart.

"Go down."

He stood up from the couch, hesitating whether to lift the gun and go out to loosen his muscles, but after pacing in the hall for a while, he finally set his eyes on the veil again.

He gritted his teeth, narrowed his eyes slightly, approached step by step, slammed it into his palm, and walked quickly towards the inner room.
