The candlelight is bright and flickering.

It was enough for Ning Yu to see the face clearly. It was handsome and sharp, with a jade-like and golden appearance. The black eyes were deep and intense, carrying emotions that she could hardly understand.

A faint smell of blood can be smelled.

Not his.

The tears that Ning Yu had been trying to suppress suddenly burst out, her eyes unconsciously reddened, and her eyes were blurred with tears. "I knew you wouldn't die!"

Seeing Ning Yu crying, Chu He quickly hugged her in his arms and wiped away her tears gently, "Don't cry, I'm back."

Ning Yu broke free from Chu Hewang's arms and looked the man up and down. Seeing that he didn't seem to be injured, she felt relieved.

Ning Yu's tone was filled with worry, as if she was thinking of something. "Why did you come back so suddenly? What if the emperor finds out?"

Now the emperor is suspicious of Chu Hewang and suddenly questions her relationship with Chu Hewang. I'm afraid he has already noticed something.

Although she had been fooled temporarily, the emperor would find out sooner or later with his ability.

Chu Hewang didn't say anything, but stared at Ning Yu, his voice slightly hoarse, "Are you concerned about me, Madam?"

Ning Yu felt a little hot in his ears from being stared at, and nodded uncomfortably.

After all, he is the man you have slept with, so it is normal for him to show concern for you. He is also Tuantuan and Yuanyuan’s biological father.

Ning Yu's action was like lighting a traction line, instantly igniting countless sparks in Chu Hewang's chest, and the longings accumulated over several months suddenly burst out.

Chu Hewang held Ning Yu's head tightly with his big hand, and gave her a slightly cool kiss. His tongue flexibly pried open her vagina and slid across her upper cavity.

Ning Yu's body suddenly became soft.

Chu Hewang, however, was not satisfied with this, and he invaded the territory like a wild beast, with great courage and ferocity, riding his horse and wielding his sword.

He won't be satisfied until he turns the whole place upside down.

Ning Yu was panting, her chest heaving, and Chu Hewang reluctantly let her go. "I'll come back to talk to the queen after I've dealt with this matter..."

The following words were spoken in a low voice, but it was clear enough for Ning Yu to hear.

This caused Ning Yu's face to turn red, which was alluring and bewitching.

Ning Yu barely calmed down and said with a little worry, "The Emperor has probably discovered your identity. What are your plans?"

"It's nothing, Cheng Ming is my man." Chu Hewang was afraid that Ning Yu would think too much, so he explained, "This time I came to the palace, it was Cheng Ming who helped me."

Ning Yu hesitated, not knowing what was on his mind. "You came to the palace just to see me, didn't you?"

Chu Hewang nodded without hesitation, his voice a little hoarse, "I am afraid that Your Majesty will worry."

Ning Yu felt a warm current flowing through her heart, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Although she knew that Chu Hewang had her in his heart, she still couldn't help being touched.

At this moment, Ning Yu suddenly heard footsteps coming from afar, surrounding the Kunning Palace.

Chu Hewang seemed to have sensed it as well and placed a kiss on Ning Yu's forehead. "Your Majesty, I will be leaving first."

The next second, Chu Hewang's figure disappeared in front of Ning Yu.

Not long after, the sound of swords colliding with their scabbards outside Kunning Palace became more and more fierce, as if foreshadowing something.

Li Xiang hurriedly pushed the door open and came in, her voice low, "Your Majesty, a lot of guards suddenly arrived outside the palace and surrounded Kunning Palace. Are they here to arrest..."

"It's okay, he's gone." Ning Yu consoled him, "Let's just pretend we know nothing."

Lixiang knew that the 'he' the Queen was referring to was Chu Hewang. After all, the Master Seal was caught in the Queen's bedroom.

These servants could not escape either.

Especially her.

As the Queen's personal maid, she could not escape the blame.

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly kicked open, and the emperor walked over with an extremely cold and gloomy look on his face. He glanced around the bedroom without making a sound.

Ning Yu seemed frightened when he heard the noise, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person coming was the emperor.

"Your Majesty, why did you come here so suddenly? And why is it so noisy outside? You scared me."

The emperor looked down at the queen.

Ning Yu's face was filled with bewilderment and confusion. Her underwear was neatly fitted to her body, and her snow-white neck was still slender, though her temples were a little wet.

I don’t know if it was a nightmare or what.

The emperor averted his gaze, a faint smile on his handsome face as he sat on the edge of the bed, his big hands embracing the queen's waist, revealing his dominance and strength.

But his tone was full of temptation and suspicion.

"Someone saw the assassin break into Kunning Palace. I wonder if the Queen saw it?"

Ning Yu's face suddenly turned pale when she heard about the assassin. She clutched the corner of the emperor's clothes with her small hands and glanced at the emperor timidly, "What? There is an assassin in Kunning Palace?"

The emperor held the hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

But his eyes were still looking at her, trying to see something from Ning Yu.

The emperor's gaze suddenly fell on the back of Ning Yu's neck, and he could vaguely see a red mark, clear and gorgeous, as if showing off something.

He was a man, so he naturally knew that these were clearly the marks left by a man sucking hard.

It looks like he just stayed here not long ago.

In other words, the adulterer had just left.

Or maybe, it is hidden here.

Seeing the queen pretending to know nothing, Xiao Yan's eyes were as cold as ice. He tore off Ning Yu's underwear with his big hands and threw it on the ground.

A large hand tightly gripped Ning Yu's neck, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable coldness, "How dare you! How dare you have an affair with a strange man! Who is it?!"

"Is it Chu Hewang?"

Ning Yu's expression was still bewildered as she looked at him timidly, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"And isn't the Master Seal... already dead?"

But in her heart, she kept cursing Chu Hewang, thinking that this bastard must have left traces somewhere she couldn't see.

What’s worse is that the emperor saw it.

If she couldn't appease the emperor, she would probably lose her life.

The emperor laughed in anger, stroking the mark with the belly of his thumb and uttering through gritted teeth, "Are you still thinking of shielding the adulterer?!"

The strength of the hand on the neck continued to increase. Ning Yu felt a little breathless and wanted to push away the big hand.

"No, I have nothing to do with the Master Seal! I don't know why Your Majesty mentioned the Master Seal."

Ning Yu didn't know what he was thinking about, and he stopped struggling.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and a trace of grief and despair appeared on her face. "Your Majesty, you killed my two children, and you want to kill me too?!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor paused.

Ning Yu felt the fresh air rushing in, his face filled with sorrow and his voice choked slightly.

"I understand. Your Majesty is doing this to vacate the throne of Empress for Concubine Li. Is that right? Besides, everyone in the capital knows that Chu Hewang has long been buried. Why use such dirty tricks to slander me?"
