After the morning court session the next day, Fang Yunheng left the palace and returned secretly. He sneaked into Ninghuan Palace and hid on the highest beam in the palace.

Hua Ling had no idea that there was a man hiding inside and went about her day as usual.

At noon, she climbed out of bed with her hair loose and her clothes disheveled, her snow-white skin half exposed, with traces of gnaws on it.

Fang Yunheng had excellent eyesight and looked away after just one glance.

He had many eyes and ears in the palace and knew that the emperor had not actually consummated his marriage with anyone, but had relied on drugging to induce hallucinations, and the eunuchs had manually penetrated the melon and pinched it, leaving traces of pain.

He wasn't sure whether the marks on Hua Ling's body were caused by pinching, so he decided to observe it for a while.

Hua Ling walked barefoot on the carpet while Xia Zhu helped her change clothes.

The clothes were taken off one by one and put on again. Fang Yunheng watched the whole process, trying hard to ignore the abnormality of his body. After thinking about it, he was still not sure what kind of marks the Hua Ling had.

He has no experience, and this touches upon his blind spot of knowledge.

Something felt swollen and painful, and Fang Yunheng groaned in discomfort.

Hua Ling frowned slightly and looked around. "Xia Zhu, did you hear any sound?"

Fang Yunheng froze, and Xia Zhu said, "No."

Hua Ling listened for a while longer, but heard nothing, "Maybe I heard it wrong.

After a simple meal, Hua Ling carefully took out a package from under the bed.

Fang Yunheng's eyes were deep, and he guessed that it was something like a voodoo doll or poison. The women in the harem always liked to use some sinister and useless means, and he thought Hua Ling was the same.

When he opened the package, he found that he had overthought. Inside was an unfinished piece of clothing. Judging from the style and size, it should be for the emperor.

Hua Ling was humming a song while embroidering with silk thread.

Xia Zhu advised her, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has an entire clothing bureau to make clothes. Why bother doing it yourself? It's too tiring for your eyes."

"Your Majesty, it doesn't prevent me from making it." Hua Ling said with a faint smile: "This is not just a piece of clothing, it is also my heart. Every pattern is woven by me with time and effort. It is different from those made by the Shangyi Bureau."

But it's all the same to the emperor. Xia Zhu thought that instead of spending this time, it would be better to spend it taking care of herself and thinking about how to win favor.

"I know what you want to say," Hua Ling said, "I am doing my job. It's up to His Majesty to decide whether to wear it or not. I don't know what will happen in the future, but at this moment, I want to do it for him."

Xia Zhu stopped trying to persuade him, thinking to herself that a commoner girl couldn't make any good clothes, so she just waited for the clothes to be thrown away.

Fang Yunheng leaned against the roof boredly, watching Hua Ling embroider from morning to night, and finally finished the clothes just before the emperor arrived.

I don’t know if she is tired, but he is very tired.

"Your Majesty, I have made you a dress. Please come and see if it fits you."

Fang Yunheng raised his eyebrows: She didn't even salute him.

Xuanyuan Mo opened his hands naturally and let her try on him with the clothes.

It was a moon-white dress with wide sleeves, embroidered with patterns of rivers and mountains with fine silk thread.

The sun rises, auspicious clouds rise, mountains rise and fall, and rivers flow.

Both the artistic conception and the embroidery are amazing.

Fang Yunheng was shocked. How could a commoner woman have such ability? The important thing was that Wen Qinning didn't know how to do needlework. Would she be exposed?

Xuanyuan Mo was also surprised, "Concubine Ning is very clever and skillful, I like her very much, wear this dress when you go out tomorrow."

"Okay!" Hua Ling hugged his neck and said, "Your Majesty, please pick out some clothes for me too."

"No hurry, I'll send you new clothes tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind to me."

Fang Yunheng carefully observed Xuanyuan Mo's expression and confirmed that he really had no doubts. He was a little puzzled. Could it be that lust really blinded his mind?

He continued to observe patiently.

The palace maid brought the meal up, and Xuanyuan Mo pointed at a dish and told the maid to take it away.

"Concubine Ning doesn't like beans. From now on, don't send any dishes with beans to Ning Huan Palace. You can send more braised pork ribs." Xuanyuan Mo thought it was not good to eat too much meat every day, so he said, "Send it once every two days."

The palace maids responded in unison.

After the maids left, Hua Ling acted coquettishly towards Xuanyuan Mo: "Your Majesty, I want a small kitchen. Can you have someone build it for me?"

Xuanyuan Mo kissed her on the lips: "Can you cook?"

Hua Ling's face flushed seductively, "Of course I will."

"Alright then." Xuanyuan Mo held her in his arms and sat her on his lap. "Tomorrow I'll have the Ministry of Works come over to start the work. It should be almost done by the time we get back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hua Ling happily kissed Xuanyuan Mo on the face, her eyes sparkling with spring water.

Xuanyuan Mo's Adam's apple rolled and his voice became hoarse: "Let's eat first."

"Oh." Hua Ling picked up a piece of shrimp and put it in his mouth.

Fang Yunheng was shocked by their intimacy, and at this moment he thought: Hua Ling actually picked up her chopsticks before the emperor?

Fang Yunheng rubbed his stomach helplessly, feeling a little hungry. The emperor couldn't leave, so he had to bear it.

The emperor gave Hua Ling some sweet-scented glutinous rice lotus root, four-happiness meatballs, and steamed shad, and Hua Ling ate them with gusto.

Fang Yunheng's eyes flashed with contemplation.

Shad is produced in Jinling. It can only show its delicious taste when it is fresh. It takes a lot of manpower to deliver the fish every time. Generally, only the emperor and the empress dowager can eat it in the palace. Now Hualing can also eat it.

Xuanyuan Mo watched Hua Ling eat and only started eating when she was almost done. After Hua Ling finished eating, he also put down his chopsticks.

There was an ambiguous smile in his eyes: "Are you full?"

"I'm full, how about your majesty?"

"No, there is still one dish left."

"What dish?" Hua Ling was confused.

Xuanyuan Mo swept the dishes to the ground with a sweep of his sleeve. Fang Yunheng stared in amazement as he carried Hua Ling to the table, and then...

He hated his own sharp ears and eyes, but he couldn't help but take a peek, feeling like he had opened the door to a new world.

Hua Ling was lying on her back, her misty eyes suddenly widened when they accidentally glanced at the corner of clothes on the beam, and then she looked into Yun Heng's eyes above her.

She screamed and her body convulsed. Xuanyuan Mo couldn't control himself and his face turned black.

Hua Ling, however, ignored everything else and pointed upwards: "Your Majesty, there's someone on the beam!"

Is there anyone there? Xuanyuan Mo raised his eyes sharply, his gaze like a blade.

Just at this moment, the roof tiles shattered and a person flew out.

"Someone, come and catch the assassin!" Xuanyuan Mo quickly put on his inner clothes and covered Hua Ling with his outer clothes. As for Hua Ling's original clothes, they had already been torn into pieces.

The door was pushed open, and a large number of guards entered, then left in a hurry.

Thinking of the live sex show he had performed in front of the assassin, Xuanyuan Mo became angry and embarrassed, and the black energy in his eyes seemed to condense into substance.

"Mobilize the twelve imperial guards and search the entire palace. We must find the assassin!"

The Twelve Guards included the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Golden Guard, the Yulin Guard, etc.

Xuanyuan Mo left a group of guards to guard Ninghuan Palace, and took the rest of the guards to search separately.

Hua Ling stood there at a loss.
