The Gilded Cage

"His Majesty…"

While she reminded him softly while kissing, she reached out to his chest and tried to push him away.

However, he seemed to care nothing, he turned a deaf ear to the clear dialogue coming from outside the window, and still hugged her waist tightly to not allow her to shrink a little.

Chu Ning's always sober mind is rarely chaotic for a while.

Xiao Kezhi's kiss was just as she had expected. It was tough, hot, and full of aggression. She had nowhere to back down. She could only passively raise her head to bear it, as if she could be infected by his boundless enthusiasm.

This feeling made her a little strange, and her breathing became more and more unsmooth.

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

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

Hasn't he been in contact with other women before?

Such thoughts are really surprising.

A twenty-five-year-old young man who 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 knows, the other county kings of the Xiao family, although they have no real power and no one cares, they all live drunken lives in various places.

She felt that she was confused.

"Everyone, it's time to go, the Prince is down..."

Liu Kang's cautious reminder came from his ears. Chu Ning looked at the stairs with his left light, and saw him standing next to the steps with his head down, looking like he could not bury himself in the ground.

Xiao Kezhi took a bite on her lower lip with a little heavier force that would not hurt her, and then let go of her unswervingly. His deep eyes were full of interest and mockery, but there was not the slightest nervousness about being discovered. , As if it hadn't stopped because of listening to Liu Kang's words at all.

"You just said it well," he approached her with a hoarse voice, and slowly wiped the fainted mouth fat from the corners of her lips with his fingers. "It is true that I indulge you in such a bold act. But you have to make it clear that I am the emperor. The Five Supremes, sitting on the world. You are indeed beautiful, and indeed bold, but there are so many women in the world, why should I be obsessed with a married woman with unknown intentions?"

This was very straightforward, and almost completely pierced the hazy window paper between the two.

Rao Chu Ning has always been calm, and can't help being a little stiff at the moment.

She understood that he was right.

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

She hardly had any bargaining chips that she could use to exchange with him. This was also the reason why she had to spare everything and approach him proactively. As for acceptance or not, it was all within his mind.

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

He was not Xiao Yu back then, and would marry her for the benefit behind her. To him, she was just a niece and daughter-in-law who had never met before, a fragile prey that could be killed at any time in the palm of his hand. Accepting her as a niece will not only do him no good, it will even cause a lot of trouble. Why would he do this?

Even she herself was a little shaken.

But at the moment when many thoughts flashed in her mind, she suddenly felt a strange heat coming from between the finger pads rubbed against her lips.

Her eyes flashed slightly, and she slowly relaxed. No matter how he emphasizes it, he can't change the fact that he has already moved.

She pulled out the silk paw that she was carrying with her from her sleeve, and followed his way, carelessly rubbing the crimson stained lips for him.

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

At first hearing this, it seems to be a simple and innocent doubt, but after a little thought, you can feel that there is a deep meaning in it.

In this way, she threw the problem back again, and the silk in her hand was wiped off and was wrapped around the jade belt around his waist. She took a sharp look and 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 bit bright red.

He suddenly released the hand holding her jaw, and his face sank.

"everyone…"

The trembling Liu Kang couldn't help but reminded that this time, seeing the two finally separated, the flushed faces calmed a little bit, but seeing the prince getting closer and closer, Xiao Kezhi still hadn't left, 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 and stepped down the stairs, left from the door on the far side from Xiao Yu, and headed towards the Ganlu Temple.

Chu Ning leaned against the window on that side and looked at it until his figure drifted away before returning to the window just now.

The chaos that had just passed was long ago, and Cuihe was walking in front at this moment, leading Xiao Yu's steps to Lingyan Pavilion.

She was obviously very nervous. Taking advantage of the opportunity to walk in the front, she quietly raised her eyes to look up the attic from time to time. When she saw Chu Ning by the window smiling at her, she breathed a sigh of relief, but after a while, she worries again.

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

After a while, Shi Jian stopped outside the door, and Xiao Yu got down from Shi Jian, signaled the attendant to wait outside, and stepped inside by himself.

At this time, Chu Ning had arranged his appearance and sat alone on a bed in the pavilion. Hearing the sound of the wooden ladder, he turned his face with a smile: "Isn't your Royal Highness still dealing with official affairs in the office? How could this happen? Come here?"

Xiao Yu's extremely gloomy expression finally turned slightly at the moment he saw her, but he never revealed more of his own affairs in front of her, so he only briefly answered "It has been processed", and then stopped. Mention more.

Chu Ning just asked casually, seeing him coming up, consciously got up to meet him.

He was very irritable, and he directly reached out to hook her chest belt and pulled her into his arms, and asked a little dissatisfiedly: "It's you, how come you want to play Lingyan Pavilion?"

Chu Ning unconsciously remembered what had happened before, and couldn't help his heart beating, but his face was already replaced with a somewhat sad expression: "It just happened to be passing by. I remembered that this attic can overlook the view of Tai Chi Palace. , But I have been married to Your Highness for more than two years, but I never had a chance to take a look, and then suddenly came in."

Xiao Yu's face was distorted for a moment.

If it wasn't for Xiao Kezhi's sudden appearance that caused him to miss the throne that was already 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 Temple of Ganlu now.

The hatred that had been accumulated for a long time was faintly exploding, and the hands he pulled on her chest tightened.

The long ribbons tightened her full chest tightly, making her frown and exhaling in pain.

"His Royal Highness, be lighter..."

Xiao Yu didn't seem to hear her, only feeling that the soft touch between his five fingers had found a channel for his emotions to vent. He pulled open her chest-length skirt and kissed her. .

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

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

She vaguely resisted in her heart, and subconsciously wanted to remind him of restraint, but he just ignored her and crushed her on the narrow bed, while squeezing her wrist to prevent her from moving, he lifted the hem of the robe.

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

There was an unknown situation in which the waiter was holding hot tea. He stepped up the stairs and then poked his head out. He heard a strange voice and then caught a glimpse of the scene that made him blush.

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

But the wooden ladder was a bit steep. He was still holding the teapot and tea cup in his hand. He only walked a few steps. He stepped on the air and rushed forward. Not only did he smash the porcelain in his hand, he also followed the steps. Gululu rolled to the bottom.

The shattered sharp porcelain pieces pierced into his arms and thighs, causing him to sweat again and again, but he still resisted screaming, and kept waving his hands at the other servants, beckoning them not to go up and disturb.

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

He pulled Chu Ning up from the couch, led her to the window, pinched her two arms from behind, and looked at the Ganlu Temple not far away with her.

The sky was getting darker, a bell rang in the distance, and the jackdaw flew by. The cool autumn breeze blew from outside the window, making Chu Ning tremble.

"I will take it back." He put his face in her ear and whispered fiercely, his breathing was a little unstable, "Aning, don't worry, one day, I will let you be the queen of the cold. "

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

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

What's the use of her being a queen? Not to mention that she didn't believe that he could do it at all. Even the current crown princess was bought by her for the miserable end of the Chu family. He promised to be the queen, but what would he take away from her?

Now she has nothing. The only thing she wants to do is to wash her father's grievances, and to protect the only remaining Zhao Yanzhou and two cousins.

The boredom from the bottom of her heart made her couldn't help pretending to speak expectantly: "Thank you, your highness, and-my father, your highness promised me..."

The people behind him stopped for a moment.

It was this momentary stagnation that caused some evil in her heart.

"I will pay him innocence, Aning, don't worry." He waved happily, nonchalantly, saying the lie that he had told countless times in the past two years.

…

Half an hour later, the little servant of Ganlu Temple hurried to Liu Kang and whispered a few words to him.

After listening, Liu Kang frowned, and from time to time he glanced at the emperor who was struggling to write in front of the imperial case, as if he was afraid he would see it.

Xiao Kezhi hadn't raised his head, 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 paused for a moment, chuckled, and said, "It's nothing serious, but... just now, His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess went back to Wanchun Hall from Lingyan Pavilion."

In fact, there is a sentence behind-the princess looks weak and weak, and even the prince's face is a bit tired. But, in this case, he dare not say it.

However, Xiao Kezhi guessed something from his embarrassed expression and couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the omission.

At this glance, I saw the silk kerchief not far away. The veil was embroidered with lotus patterns, so clean and elegant, but the lotus leaf was stained with a few ambiguous reds.

It was the veil brought back from Lingyan Pavilion.

When he was just changing his clothes, he seemed unaware of it. He didn't even look at the veil. The waiter who undressed him was also very consciously silent. He only placed the veil on him carefully under the sign of Liu Kang's eyes. A place that you can see just by turning your head.

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

"Go all down."

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

He gritted his teeth, squinted his eyes slightly, stepped closer, grabbed it into his palm abruptly, and walked quickly toward the inner chamber.
