The Gilded Cage

Chapter 24: Yin Tang will open the door of Wude Hall tomorrow

Views:

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant.

Xiao Kezhi was tense all over, with both hands supported on top of Chu Ning, staring at her through the moonlight, as if to peel her off with his eyes, and as if to wipe fire on her.

He didn't speak, and the servant outside the house also consciously kept silent, and didn't say a word.

Chu Ning finally got rid of the shackles of the two Fang Sipa, and couldn't help panting and moving the two arms that were sore due to the binding, and said softly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is awake, I should go back."

When she spoke, the ends of her eyes were still red, and a few crystals smeared on her long eyelashes, shaky with the flow of her eyes.

"You want to go back and serve him so much?" Xiao Kezhi endured the feeling of abruptly stopping when he was excited, but what followed was an inexplicable and inexplicable anger.

She was his niece, a fact he knew early on.

He never cared about a false name, and when he became interested in her, he never took the difference of identity to heart. But now he suddenly realized that she was in a hurry to push him away, just to get back to another man as soon as possible, and he suddenly felt unhappy in his heart.

Chu Ning really wanted to go back at this time, met his obviously displeased eyes, knew that it was time to appease him, he slowly turned his face away, and turned to look at the frost-like white moonlight on the ground, Qi Qi Said: "I don't want to, but I have to go back."

For some reason, he looked at her graceful and soft profile, and the anger that had just died was extinguished.

But the unwillingness in his heart could not be erased no matter what, and clamored for him to get something back.

Especially this bold and gorgeous thing on her body, as long as he thinks of her going back like this, his heart feels like a hand is pinched. His nephew is not a monk in the temple. He will leave tomorrow. Even if he drinks too much tonight, he doesn't believe that he will let her go easily.

He gritted his teeth and instructed in a deep voice, "Get some water, and send me a shamcloth."

As soon as Chu Ning heard the words behind him, he had a vague feeling in his heart, and he turned his eyes to look at him, and said softly, "What is your majesty going to do?"

Xiao Kezhi didn't speak, he just turned her over forcefully and made her lie down on the couch.

"His Majesty-"

She wanted to prop up her upper body, but was pressed hard by his palm and had to lie down again.

Rough fingers stopped at a corner of her clothes behind her.

She trembled lightly, feeling the hem of Yiyi's skirt being pulled hard by him in his hands, only to hear a "hiss", and the smooth and soft silk was torn from the middle in an instant.

He pulled her up and arrogantly threw the dress aside, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go back wearing this shameless thing."

Chu Ning knelt on the couch with her back to him, her long hair hanging down behind her back, like a helpless innocent girl.

"The things will be delivered in a while, and I will change them myself."

With sour and hatred in his heart, he picked up a strand of her long hair, bit the back of her shoulder hard, and slowly let go until he left two rows of teeth marks.

"Everyone, things are here." The voice outside the house sounded again, but this time it was Liu Kang.

"Come in." Xiao Kezhi responded and got off the couch, knowingly or unintentionally, his tall and strong body just blocked Chu Ning's side.

Liu Kang was also very conscious. After he pushed the door and came in, his head was extremely low. After putting down the tray in his hand, he turned and retreated to the outside, with his back facing the two of them, waiting to be called at any time.

He obviously didn't know whose robe the two of them wanted, so he prepared one for each, both of the most common styles.

Chu Ning glanced at it quickly, knowing that the water in the copper basin was not for her, so she consciously pulled the torn clothes on one side and wiped them for herself, then took the smaller clothes on the tray and put them on. He got down from the couch in his eyes that were intertwined with ice and fire, while his long messy hair was tied up, and he said to Liu Kang who was outside: "Liu Dajian, but Cui He is here, can you let her come in and brush my hair? "

At this time, the only person who came to report that Xiao Yu woke up should be Cui He. Her bun has been loosened, and she still has to get dressed. If she comes by herself, I am afraid it will take too much time.

"Yes, Cui He is waiting outside." Liu Kang guessed that she was already dressed, so he turned around to light the lamp, and only replied when he saw Xiao Kezhi's displeased, but not disapproving expression, "The old slave will invite her in."

After that, he opened the door a little, gave a low voice, and soon let Cui He in.

Cui He picked up Bu Yao which had fallen by the door, walked quickly behind Chu Ning, picked up the wooden comb prepared on the tray, skillfully re-up her high bun for her, and inserted Bu Yao.

Layers of clothes were put on and tightly wrapped, which brought her back to her previous dignified and gentle appearance.

Xiao Kezhi always sat quietly watching, until she turned to leave, then suddenly got up, strode up to her, stroking the place where he had just been bitten through the clothes, lowered his head and whispered in her ear .

"Next time, I won't forgive you so easily."

Chu Ning's eyes flickered, but he didn't look at him again. He just saluted steadily and left without saying a word.

There was no shelter outside, and the cold of winter nights hit from all directions.

Chu Ning's mind was blown by the cold wind, and the cheeks that were originally blushing due to emotion quickly returned to the white color.

Today's purpose has not been achieved, and she has never been able to say what she wants to say. I was in a chaotic mood before, but now I calm down, remembering Xiao Kezhi's attitude just now, and I understand that I don't have to worry.

The previous opportunities to be alone were all deliberately done by her, but now, the person who is most anxious is him, he will always find a way to see her again, she just needs to wait patiently.

Xiao Yu will temporarily leave Chang'an tomorrow, and she will have many more opportunities.

After thinking about this, her mood suddenly relaxed, and only then did she ask about Xiao Yu's situation.

"How is your Highness?"

Cui He whispered what happened after Xiao Yu woke up, and said again: "Your Highness may have heard that the lady was looking for a bracelet from His Highness, so I didn't get angry. My lady will be more careful for a while."

Chu Ning nodded, looking at the open door that was close at hand, quietly took out the bracelet from his sleeve, put it back on his wrist, put on a gentle smile, and said, "Your Highness woke up more than usual today. Hurry up."

Xiao Yu had finished changing his clothes after using the porridge, and was about to return to the East Palace. When he saw her coming back, there was a bit of suppressed impatience between his brows: "Well, drinking Liangzhou wine will make you drunk faster and wake up faster. What about the bracelet? Can you find it?"

Chu Ning raised the suet jade bracelet at night at him, his eyes slightly curved: "I found it, and it fell in the bushes by the porch. I think it was for the wild cat. Fortunately, I found it in time. I've found it, and the things that His Highness gave me must not be lost."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's impatient face softened again.

"You, you don't have to be so attentive." He got up and squeezed her hand, which was a little cold from the wind, and shook his head. "It's not good if you've been walking outside for so long on such a cold day."

Chu Ning nodded obediently, walked out of the hall beside him, boarded the already prepared chariot, and returned to the East Palace together.

In the Guangtian Hall, a servant had already prepared hot water for bathing, and when they saw the two came back, they hurriedly tidy up the bath room.

After Chu Ning took off Xiao Yu's coat, he was about to go back to his room, but he was suddenly pulled into his arms.

"I'll be leaving tomorrow morning..." He put his head on her shoulders, wanting to take her into the bathroom with him.

Chu Ning was taken aback, for fear that the traces he had left on Xiao Ke's place just now would be discovered by him, so he hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness drank too much today, so I should take a shower faster. I'm afraid I'll feel uncomfortable if I stay in it for a long time."

Xiao Yu frowned. Sure enough, he felt that his mind was still growing. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Forget it, just stay here for a while."

Chu Ning nodded, and after watching him go in, he quickly walked back to his room, took off his clothes and checked it carefully, only to see that there were no other teeth marks in the two rows behind him, and he was relieved.

She hurriedly groomed, and finally returned to the Guangtian Hall when Xiao Yu had just left the bathroom.

The servants silently tidied up the room and then retreated. After thinking for a while, Chu Ning took the initiative to blow out the light, turned and leaned against Xiao Yu's arms, raised his head and kissed his lips.

"A Ning..." He pressed her back and led her into the big bed, drowning in the dark whirlpool.

In the Hall of Nectar, Xiao Kezhi sat alone under the lamp, holding the underwear that he had torn with his own hands, only to feel a brute force rampaging in his body, clamoring for him to bring the woman back without hesitation at the moment.

The folds and cracks on the robes reminded him of the situation just now, especially the beautiful body with huge contrast after taking off his clothes, which kept flashing in front of his eyes, as if it had been deeply imprinted on it. In his mind, he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

He wanted to teach her a lesson today, and it seemed that he had achieved his goal, but he didn't expect that he would become the more painful one.

Having been plucked again and again without being completely satisfied, the strings in his mind have been tightened again and again, and only the last sound is broken.

As long as he remembered that she was probably in the East Palace being intimate with his useless nephew at this time, the unsatisfied emptiness and restlessness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Everyone, use some soup." Liu Kang was frightened and sent a bowl of soup that he had just ordered to cook to clear the heat and remove the fire. At the end, he added hesitantly, "His Royal Highness should leave Chang'an tomorrow. …”

He had seen this look of the emperor several times, and he was all too familiar with it—it was just for the Crown Princess.

It's just that he didn't expect that during the time when the two of them were in the house, His Majesty really did nothing. He knew that when he entered, what he saw in the corner of his eyes was His Majesty who was still in his clothes!

On the contrary, it was the Crown Princess, whose old face couldn't help blushing at the glance of her charming appearance.

These two people don't know who is torturing who!

Xiao Kezhi frowned and looked at the steaming soup in front of him. After a moment of silence, he finally took it and drank it.

The bitter taste spread in his mouth immediately, and his senses were concentrated at once.

He put down the porcelain bowl, only to feel that this soup really suppressed the intolerance of Cai Cai. But after a while, the bitterness dissipated, and everything came back again.

He seemed to have unknowingly stepped into the quagmire, and had already fallen into it bit by bit, and when he found the struggle, it was futile.

He let out a long sigh and turned his attention to the torn robe again.

"Go out."

Liu Kang was so excited that he picked up the porcelain bowl and was about to retreat, but he was stopped by him again.

"Open the door of Wude Hall tomorrow."

Liu Kang shook his hand and almost knocked over the tray in his hand. The Wude Hall is adjacent to the East Palace, and the other end of the gate is naturally the East Palace.
