Chapter 171 Taking Advantage of the Void

Quan Minghe and Shen Yuning returned to Yaohua Palace. As the night deepened, the two of them had already rested on the couch.

The warm candles flickered, and the light and shadows swayed on the walls, adding a touch of beauty to the quiet night.

Shen Yuning's eyes moved and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

He suggested, "Your Majesty, how about playing a game?"

Quan Ming Hepburn leaned against the bed, became interested, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What game?"

Shen Yuning came closer and said in a soft voice: "I will move but you won't move."

Quan Minghe's dark eyes were full of confusion and he was unable to understand for a moment.

Before he could react, Shen Yuning had already taken action.

She gently untied the black brocade pajamas on Quan Minghe with her hands, her movements were gentle yet a little bold.

In the blink of an eye, his pajamas opened wide, revealing his strong and muscular chest muscles.

Then, she straddled him and planted a delicate kiss on the corner of his mouth, then rained kisses down his neck, chest, and all the way down to his abdominal muscles.

Quan Minghe's body tensed up instantly.

In the past, he was the one who took the lead in such intimate activities, but now the roles were reversed and he instinctively wanted to roll over and press forward.

But in an instant, he understood what Shen Yuning meant by "she moves but he doesn't move."

He suppressed the impulse in his heart and clenched his fists tightly at his side. The place where she kissed him felt numb, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Shen Yuning was preparing for further action, thinking of giving Quan Minghe a little sweet treat on the night of the enthronement ceremony.

After all, he always kissed her until she became limp.

At this moment, Li Ming hurried into the inner room.

"His Majesty......"

Before Li Ming finished speaking, Quan Minghe's face flushed red. He looked down at Shen Yuning, who was still immersed in it and not disturbed, and shouted angrily: "Get out!"

Li Ming raised his head and vaguely caught a glimpse of the scene on the couch, but the matter was of great importance and he had to report it.

"Your Majesty, there's a fire in Lingxi Palace!"

Quan Minghe's face suddenly changed, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his dark eyes. He lowered his head to look at Shen Yuning, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiaoxiao, stop."

Shen Yuning paused.

Quan Minghe pulled her up and she lay on his chest, her lips moist and red from the kiss, making her look particularly beautiful.

Shen Yuning shouted angrily at Li Ming outside the bed curtains: "There is a fire in Lingxi Palace, so there is a fire. There are palace servants to put out the fire. Is this worthy of Eunuch Li Ming coming in to report it?!"

Li Ming's face was full of helplessness and he had a hard time expressing his suffering.

This Lingxi Palace is extraordinary. How can it be compared to ordinary palaces?

Quan Minghe's face also looked a little ugly. He didn't want her to know everything about Lingxi Palace.

"Mianmei, Lingxi Palace has treasures that I have collected for many years. I have to go and take a look."

Shen Yuning was shocked and couldn't believe it: "Today is the day when I am crowned as the empress. Your Majesty is leaving?"

"I'll be back soon, okay?"

Li Ming hurried to him and explained that the fire in Lingxi Palace was urgent and he had to mobilize the guards to put out the fire as soon as possible.

There were some things he couldn't explain to Shen Yuning.

It’s because the palace servants may not know that the paintings in the study of Lingxi Palace are the most important.

After saying that, Quan Minghe gently pushed Shen Yuning off his body and said soothingly, "I'll be back soon."

After Quan Minghe left, Shen Yuning looked unhappy and didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

Glad that after all these years, he still remembers her?

Unhappy that he always leaves her behind again and again?

Haha, Kwon Myung-hyuk, if you can’t win my heart, don’t blame me for being fickle.

"Someone come."

Bluebird walked in.

"I need to rinse my mouth."

Halfway through, the man ran away, which really affected her mood.

Lan Ying blushed slightly, "Yes."

Shen Yuning rinsed her mouth and took a bath with Lan Ying's help. She stepped barefoot into the bathtub, which was covered with flower petals that soon stuck to her body.

"You all go out, I can take a bath by myself."

Shen Yuning closed his eyes and thought.

The fire in Lingxi Palace was by no means an accident, but the only imperial concubines in the harem who knew the secret of Lingxi Palace were Liu Shihan and Yan Xin.

There was a fire in Lingxi Palace tonight. Who of them was responsible?

The candlelight flickered, and Shen Yuning's eyelashes cast a shadow on her face.

She suddenly felt a pair of big hands covering her eyes. Shen Yuning was confused for a moment. Quan Minghe came back so soon?

"Your Majesty is back soon."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

She had barely finished her words when she felt cold lips pressed against hers, then a tongue pressed against her teeth, prying them open, gently but unquestioningly.

Shen Yuning opened her mouth, and the two of them became intimately entangled.

But I frowned, always feeling something was wrong.

"Um...let go..."

But the gentle kiss turned aggressive after hearing these words.

Shen Yuning finally understood what was wrong. This kind of kissing was what Feng Moheng was good at!

Shen Yuning held his wrist that was covering her eyes, and perhaps knowing that she had guessed it, he loosened his hand.

Shen Yuning regained her sight and opened her eyes, and saw a familiar face. It was really Feng Moheng!

Shen Yuning pushed him with both hands, "Get out of here."

Feng Moheng was not angry even though she pushed him away.

He touched his slender fingers to his lips and let out a soft chuckle.

"Yuling, aren't you curious about why His Majesty is so concerned about Lingxi Palace?"

Shen Yuning frowned, "It's just a palace, what's there to worry about?"

She naturally knew the significance of Lingxi Palace to Quan Minghe, but how could she let Feng Moheng know this?

She paused, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of warning: "But you, Feng Moheng, you broke into my bedroom in the middle of the night. Don't you want to save your own head?"

Feng Moheng pretended not to hear anything. He stretched out his hands without hesitation and placed them on Shen Yuning's smooth, bare shoulders from behind.

He leaned forward slightly, close to her ear, and his warm breath sprayed on her neck.

"Then why don't you dare to shout and report me now? Could it be that you are also afraid that His Majesty will know about our affair?"

Shen Yu's beautiful eyes widened, and she turned her head to glare at him fiercely: "When did I have an affair with you? It was obviously you, the thief, who took advantage of others' unpreparedness and stole my fragrance and jade!"

Feng Moheng's eyes darkened instantly, and the aura around him became somewhat dangerous.

"Thief? Whose wife are you? Have you forgotten?"

His voice was low, as if he was suppressing endless emotions.

"Yuling, Your Majesty, do you know that in the past, while you were entangled with him, you were also in love with me?"

There was a hint of danger in his voice.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shen Yuning pretended to be confused.

But deep down in my heart, there was already a storm.

Feng Moheng...could it be that he knows something?

"Oh, I forgot that you lost a piece of memory..."

Feng Moheng paused for a moment, "Before you lost your memory, you were forced by His Majesty, but the person you loved in your heart was still me, and you almost lost your life for me. After you lost your memory, you fell even more deeply in love with me. If His Majesty hadn't intervened and forcibly taken my love, how could you and I end up separated now!"

Shen Yuning breathed a sigh of relief.

I originally thought that I was going to be exposed by Feng Moheng, but I didn't expect that he actually thought this way.

At that moment, she immediately pretended to be angry and said, "So what if I loved you in the past? From the day you gave me to Your Majesty, we no longer have any feelings for each other. Now, my husband is Your Majesty, and the person I love is naturally Your Majesty as well."

Feng Moheng raised a mocking smile and said coldly, "Husband? The man who abandoned you and left alone on your enthronement ceremony and wedding day is worthy of being your husband?"
