The Gilded Cage

Chu Ning's heart moved, stopped, looked up at the still bright sky, naturally with a somewhat alienated and cautious attitude, and replied: "I will go back to the East Palace tomorrow. I think the weather is sunny today, and I want to walk nearby. Going, it’s rare that the chief supervisor is also interested in walking around the garden."

As she said, she ordered the maidservants behind her who were holding the rewards of the Empress Dowager Qi to return to the East Palace first, leaving only Cuihe, and the two masters and servants walked slowly along the road casually.

"With the saint's body shirt, the franchised old slave can leave the royal front temporarily today, and don't want to meet His Royal Highness." Liu Kang's expression remained unchanged, and the palace men turned the corner and disappeared before continuing, "The old slave remembers, from The Lingyan Pavilion overlooks the entire Tai Chi Palace and has a very good view. It should be a good place for viewing."

At this time, no one was seen everywhere, and Chu Ning couldn't help but follow his meaningful gaze to look at the three-story high pavilion next to the ramp not far away, and slowly recalled in his heart.

"The general manager is right. I have been married to the East Palace for more than two years, but I haven't set foot in Lingyan Pavilion. I really should take a look here today."

Seeing her on the road like this, Liu Kang couldn't help but nodded again and again, his slightly old face wrinkled with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, please feel free."

After that, he turned and walked to another road beside Lingyan Pavilion.

"The lady really wants to go?" Cui He stared aside and asked in a low voice.

Chu Ning kept walking and nodded: "Why don't you go?" After that, he pointed to the opposite side of Liu Kang's direction, "Go there, try to stop in a place with few people and wait for me. "

Cuihe hesitated for a moment, then nervously followed her words and left.

Since the first emperor left, the former concubines have moved out of Tai Chi Palace one after another. Now in this huge palace, apart from the emperor, only the queen mother, the prince and her live there. There are not many people in this place. There are many embroidered portraits of the great cool heroes. Except for sweeping and sweeping, almost no one will come, 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 already followed Liu Kang consciously. Chu Ning stepped into the pavilion alone, stepping up the wooden stairs step by step.

The squeaky voice echoed in the quiet pavilion and passed into the ears of the tall man standing by the window on the highest floor and looking south.

"What's the matter?" In the bright sunshine, he didn't move, and asked lightly.

There was no expected response from behind, only the sound of unhurried footsteps getting closer and closer. He immediately noticed that something was wrong, and suddenly turned around, but his guard gaze hit a pair of eyes that looked like autumn water.

It is the beautiful face that disappears from time to time in the dream and is unforgettable.

He felt a thin mist appearing in front of him, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes vigilantly, trying to get a glimpse of the truth.

The two blushing lips gently opened, spitting out five soft words: "Your Majesty, it's my nephew."

…

In the Wanchun Hall, Xiao Yucai came back from the Ministry of Industry Office, and was seeing a few palace people coming back with ginseng, deer antler, angelica and other nourishing medicines.

"This is from Baifudian? Where is the prince?" He stopped by the door of the main hall, his gaze swept away from a few people.

One of them hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, it is indeed a reward from the Queen Mother, saying that it is for her to nourish her body. His Royal Highness sees that the sky is still early, so she takes Cuihe on a walk and asks the servants to come back first. Still in the backyard."

Xiao Yu didn't say a word, strode into the hall, took the hot towel handed by the maid and wiped his face, then stood there, spread his arms, and let the maid change his clothes.

The room was quiet and the atmosphere was depressed. Everyone dared not make a loud noise, and looked down at their toes nervously.

Xiao Yu glanced at the empty inner room, and his unhappy mood became more irritable.

Today, Wei Fujing sent a message from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, saying that Liang Biao’s case has been investigated. The previous crimes investigated by Yushitai are not bad and all have real evidence. There is no possibility of reversing the case. The sentence should be convicted within 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 closely related, it made him feel chills.

Somehow, he had a hunch that the sixth uncle was playing with him in his hands, and he kept him at this time, just to keep some fun.

In such a situation, he was gradually powerless to struggle, and there were already several courtiers around him who were not very firm, and the courtiers on both sides showed an attitude of drawing a clear line.

Even Xu Rong's previous words to let him take a concubine and today's sudden summon of the Queen Mother Qi made him more and more anxious.

He desperately needs an outlet to vent his emotions and pressure.

Therefore, just after finishing the work at the Ministry of Engineering, he didn't stay as usual to talk to others, just want to come back quickly and see Aning.

Who knows, she has not yet returned.

The maid in the hall was a little afraid of him on weekdays. Seeing that his face was getting gloomy at this time, she became more afraid to provoke her, she just wanted to unbuckle his clothes and take off his robe as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when the belt was loosened, he had already pushed the maid away impatiently, and reprimanded: "Useless things, go down."

The maid hurriedly bowed down carefully.

"Come on, be prepared."

He didn't simply stay in the empty hall. After reorganizing his clothes, he strode towards Houyuan.

…

In the secluded backyard, the chime of the time came from the Foguang Temple, slowly ringing through the heavens and the earth.

In Lingyan Pavilion, Xiao Kezhi was awakened by this quaint and melodious sound.

He stood by the window without moving, just staring at her closely, making people confused: "Who made you come up?"

Chu Ning's expression remained unchanged, but she understood in her heart, it seemed that Liu Kang's suggestion to her just now was self-assertion.

She pursed her lips and chuckled, quietly stepping closer, raising her head so that her face was just bathed in the golden sunlight. The steamy eyes looked pure and dignified, but at this moment, there was a subtle and charming charm. Style.

"Niece-in-law came by herself naturally, and there is no one outside Lingyan Pavilion. Who knows that Your Majesty will be there?"

One of Xiao Ke knew that it was Liu Kang who was good at advocating and attracted this woman.

He sneered, but he didn't feel disgusted in his heart. He moved his gaze away from her red lips, and said blankly: "What is the purpose of coming here today?"

Last time, she said that she would serve him tea. What excuse should she use this time?

Chu Ning blinked, and then quietly took a step closer: "Today, my nephew would like to thank your majesty for her kindness and show mercy to His Royal Highness."

Hearing this, Xiao Kezhi couldn't help squinting his eyes, and said with a bit of mockery: "You think, why do I want to do this?"

His words seemed to mock her for being affectionate, thinking that he made such an arrangement for her.

Chu Ning was not annoyed, but took a step further, and finally stopped a step away from him. He looked up and said pitifully: "No matter what your majesty is, the nephew and daughter-in-law only know that your majesty's arrangement has indeed temporarily saved the prince and nephew. Life."

The beauty was close at hand, and Xiao Kezhi's eyes deepened little by little.

He stretched out his hand and gently pinched her chin, so that she had to raise her face higher, completely exposed in front of him.

"Then who are you here to thank me today? For yourself or for the prince?"

She fanned her long eyelashes lightly, her eyes waved charmingly, and her soft tone was a little aggrieved: "Naturally it is for herself. Your majesty shows mercy to the prince's subordinates, and the niece and daughter-in-law have a place to stay for the time being."

The full red lips opened and closed, unknowingly attracting his eyes.

The thumb pinched on her chin slowly moved upward, stroking it back and forth on her plump and soft lower lip, changing from light to heavy.

"I don't like women who play tricks. You approach me several times, don't you be afraid of self-defeating?"

He leaned slightly closer, and his rough voice became more dumb.

Chu Ning didn't answer, only smiled at him with amorous feelings, then opened his red lips, sticking out the tip of his tongue, and swiping over the fingertips of his thumb that rubbed her lips.

The extremely thin and soft touch swiftly passed, making his fingertips hot, and he almost subconsciously moved his hand.

However, in the next moment, she was already like an inch, and she directly bit the tip of the finger with her teeth, and slowly covered her mouth under the unblinking gaze of his eyes.

The warm, wet and soft touch came from the thumb very clearly, and a burst of heat and numbness that was stronger than ever before was transmitted quickly to the heart and mouth, and then spread to the limbs and limbs.

"you-"

It was because he had grasped the dominance no matter how strong he was, but at this moment he couldn't help being disrupted by her extra bold move.

It was only his words that she said, she had already let go, as if she had done nothing, and answered his words innocently: "My niece will take the initiative like this. Isn't it your Majesty's intention to indulge?"

This directly exposed his disguise.

Yes, both of them are adult men and women, and they have clearly seen each other's intentions. She can approach each other in a majestic manner, which is naturally inseparable from his indulgence and suggestion.

He paused for a while, and then no longer pretended to be indifferent, but directly put his arm around her waist and forced her into his embrace.

The slender and soft body collided with the tall and sturdy chest, and then they clung tightly, spontaneously rubbing together, and the surrounding temperature gradually increased.

He held the back of her neck with the other hand, leaned over to kiss strongly, and pushed her back until she hit the window frame. With a slight movement, the material on her cuffs would stick out of the window. The wind danced in midair.

Chu Ning was shocked, for fear that he would be seen.

There was silence all around, except for the sound of kisses and the sound of the extremely small breeze when the robes were blown, except for the crisp sound of birds.

There is Liu Kang guarding around, there should be nothing wrong...

She slowly relaxed, no longer trying to pull the sleeves back.

However, her heart hadn't completely fallen yet, and the voice from below made her heart rise again.

"Vimalain!"

It was the guard calling the gray wolf, and then there was a burst of noise, mixed with the voice of the servant apologizing and pleading for mercy.

"The slave did not deliberately collide, please forgive me!"

Chu Ning looked out of the window with a corner of light, and saw Xiao Yu stopping on a ramp not far away by foot. In front of him was the gray wolf Vimalakirti who was stopped by two guards. It seemed that he was marching. It suddenly rushed out of the road, blocking the road.
