After a long time, Xiao Ling went to push him in a daze.
Chu Yi also stood up and carried her to the bed next to her.
It was not until she felt his body pressing down on her that Xiao Ling suddenly woke up and quickly expressed her resistance with a red face.
"No... No, I'm not ready yet."
Hearing this, Chu Yi was stunned, and his hands, which had seemed very wanton, stopped moving.
Then, he smiled slightly at the person under him.
"What are you thinking about? I just want to hold you to sleep. As for other things, there's no need to worry."
Xiao Ling always felt that there was ill intention in Chu Yi's eyes. She felt that if she lost her mind for a moment, something might happen tonight.
She was silent for a while before she whispered, "I haven't had time to eat dinner yet..."
Chu Yi: “…”
The person who was originally thrown onto the bed was picked up again by him and then walked out.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it. I haven't eaten yet. Let's talk about it after we finish eating."
Chu Yi is a thick-skinned person. He insisted that they had to sleep on the same bed today.
As they were talking, the two of them had already left the backyard.
After all, after the meal, he followed Xiao Ling back happily.
Xiao Ling couldn't persuade him after all, so she gave up all her efforts and let him sleep soundly on the same bed with her.
Even late at night, Xiao Ling still felt very uncomfortable.
Thinking that she, the emperor, had developed to this point with the traitor Chu Yi in such a short period of time, she had no desire to sleep at all.
Looking up at the thief Chu who was sleeping in front of her but seemed particularly peaceful, an idea suddenly arose in her mind.
Then, I couldn’t sleep at all.
Facing Chu Yi, who was completely defenseless against him at this time, Xiao Ling wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the harm to An Guo.
But in the end, reason triumphed over desire.
After all, she has to fight against more than just Chu Yi.
Thinking of this, and remembering her current situation, she just sighed.
"Alas, I have already thrown myself into your arms, why am I still thinking about these things..."
"The Chu family has suffered too much injustice in the past, and the Chu thief's ability is indeed not to be underestimated."
"...Perhaps we can truly turn hostility into friendship. If that happens, the Chu bandits will work tirelessly for me, which would be a good outcome."
Realizing the difficulty of the task, Xiao Ling gave up his fantasy and fell asleep peacefully.
…
As time passed, the person who delivered the imperial edict had already arrived in Anyuan.
The Tianwei people told Prince Fu all of Xiao Ling's instructions, and said very kindly that Prince Fu needed to go to Beijing to stand trial and clear himself of the charge of assassination.
Prince Fu was already furious in his heart, but he still pretended to be well-behaved on his face. After returning to the mansion, he summoned his staff.
As he dodged the Heavenly Guards, his face became terrifyingly gloomy.
"Haha, listen! All of you, listen!"
Prince Fu threw the decree in his hand to the ground and looked at everyone in the palace coldly.
"I sent less than a hundred men into the palace to assassinate the emperor, and not only did I fail, but I was also discovered by the young emperor's men. Am I the kind of person who would die like this?"
"My eldest nephew is really calculating now. He actually staged a plot all by himself and started to settle accounts with us, the law-abiding princes!"
"Isn't he dissatisfied with the fact that his position is too secure?"
Prince Fu was furious. He understood very clearly the emperor's intention to summon him to the capital.
Since they have already suspected me, even if I am really innocent and have not done these stupid things, I am afraid that I will be in danger of death if I go there.
"Your Highness, I don't know what the Emperor means."
In the palace, after reading the imperial edict, Prince Fu's advisor Luo Chen said solemnly:
"The current situation in the court is clear to anyone with a discerning eye. The Chu family is the only dominant force, and it's obvious that they are on the verge of usurping the throne. And they're actually thinking of attacking us princes first!"
"Haha, which emperor in the world doesn't have doubts?" Prince Fu sneered.
"I saw it clearly back then. When my eldest nephew ascended the throne and the late emperor passed away, he actually forbade the princes from entering the capital. He even said that anyone who dared to leave their fiefdom would be charged with treason. What else could this be but a precaution against us uncles?"
In response to this, everyone in the hall nodded in agreement and refused to deny it.
"Your Majesty, what should we do in this situation?"
Prince Fu frowned and pondered for a long time, "If I accept the imperial edict and go to the capital, I'm afraid I'll be in danger of death."
"Local armies across the country are now corrupt, and this is particularly evident in Annan Province. After much deliberation, I would like to..."
Having said this, he suddenly stopped talking and looked at everyone in the hall.
"What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, all the men in the mansion stepped forward.
"Your subordinates swear to follow His Majesty until death! May His Majesty ascend to the throne and bring prosperity to the people of Anguo!"
"Very good! Very good!"
Upon hearing these words, Prince Fu immediately smiled happily, but after laughing, his face returned to seriousness.
Treason is an extraordinary measure in itself, and he originally wanted to do these things after being fully prepared.
But unexpectedly, the incident happened suddenly, and it was the little emperor who suspected him first, so he had to mobilize the troops in advance.
If he were to raise an army to purge the court at this time, he would only have a 40% chance of success.
After all, I was short on time and my strength was indeed a little insufficient.
"But this is a serious matter, so it's best to come up with a foolproof plan."
Prince Fu then said, "My sixth brother is also someone worth cooperating with. He has considerable influence in Xunyuan. It would be better to discuss something with him first."
After saying that, he looked at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen followed suit and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll leave this matter to my subordinates. We must reach a cooperation with King Zhou as soon as possible!"
After some conversation, the people in Prince Fu's Mansion quickly made up their minds.
Soon, because of the arrival of the Heavenly Guards, a strange and sinister cloud shrouded the originally peaceful Anyuan City.
