Chonghua Palace.
The night was cool and still.
In the stillness of the night, when everyone should be asleep, the Chonghua Palace was still lit with lanterns.
The flickering candlelight illuminated the path beneath the prince's feet, and at the same time, it lit the lamp of home in his heart.
He was deeply moved, and then resolutely lifted his foot and walked towards the Zhengde Hall.
As we got closer, we discovered that the Zhengde Hall had been darkened and the lights were off.
"Xiao Changzi, go knock on the door."
"Yes, Your Highness."
However, after only two light knocks, an unfamiliar palace maid opened the door.
"This servant greets Your Highness. The Crown Princess specially ordered this servant to stand guard here and wait to open the door for Your Highness."
Is your master asleep?
"Yes, Her Majesty had a headache from crying today and couldn't stay up late, so she went to bed early."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's heart tightened.
Thinking of the grievances the Crown Princess had suffered in Fengyi Palace during the day, her resentment towards the Empress suddenly arose.
"I understand. You may leave."
"yes."
He desperately wanted to see the Crown Princess, and with that in mind, he strode forward.
And so he carried the lantern into the palace gate by himself, without anyone following him.
Yeats was clearly sensible; when he suddenly saw the Crown Prince during his night watch, he did not make a loud fuss.
Instead, he left a lamp behind and quietly slipped out to guard the door for his master.
The Crown Prince was pleased with her tact and, by the dim candlelight, came to the Crown Princess's bedside.
He gently parted the curtains, and there she was, fast asleep. Her face, still beautiful and incomparable in the candlelight, easily stirred his heartstrings.
However, the red mark on her forehead, though much lighter than it appeared during the day, was still quite unsightly.
It must be because of the medicine I applied; otherwise, who knows how swollen it would have been?
"I'm sorry, it's my fault that you've suffered."
Sheng Changfeng gently placed a kiss on the red mark, his mouth filled with the taste of herbs, but he didn't mind at all.
With each kiss, he would softly say "I'm sorry."
Even so, he didn't feel any better about his heart.
Sheng Changfeng didn't notice that with each apology he uttered, the woman's eyelashes trembled slightly.
until--
"Your Highness?"
The woman seemed to feel the touch of his warm lips, and she, a light sleeper, woke up instantly.
She opened her eyes groggily, still sleepy, with redness at the corners.
Although the light was very dim, it was clear that the woman's eyes were swollen.
"Does it hurt? It's because I'm useless. I failed to protect you and made your eyes swollen from crying."
The prince placed his large hand over her eyes, and she could clearly feel the heat of his palm.
Liu Lingxi seemed a little embarrassed, and only murmured aloud when she felt the real touch on her eyes.
"Your Highness, it really is you! Your humble servant greets you—"
"Shh, there's no need for formalities in private."
Sheng Changfeng hurriedly pressed down on the Crown Princess, who was trying to get up, and calmed her down.
He got up and lit all the lamps on the table, and the room became bright.
He turned around and saw his delicate and soft Crown Princess waiting for him by the bed.
Her black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her fair face was filled with admiration, and her eyes were gentle and tender, like a little sparrow waiting for its parent bird to return home, obedient and adorable.
In that instant, Sheng Changfeng clearly felt that his heartstrings had been violently plucked by her.
The heart in my chest pounded even more clearly and strongly.
One after another, gradually accelerating, until the end of time.
The two gazed at each other, as if a thousand words were hidden in their eyes, and neither looked away for a long time.
"Xi'er..."
"Your Highness..."
It's unclear who started it, but the two embraced tightly, their lips and teeth touching, their love entwined.
Although the woman's movements were still somewhat awkward, she was trying her best to respond to him.
Compared to yesterday's resistance, this naive response made Sheng Changfeng even happier and more excited!
Sheng Changfeng's kisses fell thick and fast, but he paused when he kissed the wound on the woman's forehead.
"You've been wronged. I didn't expect the Empress to suddenly make trouble. Don't worry, I will get justice for you."
The prince's mind raced, and he immediately came up with more than a dozen ways to torment the Jiang family.
Liu Lingxi opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't refuse.
"Your Highness, I believe you, but please lower your head."
Sheng Changfeng did as she was told, bending down and bringing his head close to the woman's, and then he heard her say something.
"Your Highness, please grant me a child."
!
What!
The Crown Princess is so enthusiastic!
The woman's bold yet shy words echoed in his ears, like some kind of drug, fiercely stimulating the prince's fragile little heart!
His Highness the Crown Prince was moved almost instantly, and no longer caring about pity, he directly...
"As you wish."
"Um."
The woman hooked her arms around the man's neck and kissed him directly in response.
The man's voice became hoarse from the arousal, his eyes dark and inky, and he kissed her even more passionately than she had.
Both of them carefully avoided each other's wounds, but the intensity of the fight was even greater than the previous night.
The young palace maids guarding the palace gate blushed, their faces turning as red as monkey bottoms.
A room filled with the warmth of spring.
The Zhengde Hall became lively again, with people boiling water and keeping watch, each performing their duties.
But everyone had a smile on their face. After all, if their master was favored, the servants' lives would be easier.
Except for—
That shadow at the base of the wall!
...
The Qianqing Palace.
The shadow had somehow slipped past the people of Chonghua Palace and arrived at the main hall of Qianqing Palace.
Sheng Jin remained with her eyes closed, seemingly having heard something, and her hand, which was holding the prayer beads, stopped.
When I opened my eyes again, I accurately located the figure and stared straight at it.
"You're here?"
"Yes, I have something to report—"
"explain."
"Master, Chonghua Palace has ordered water."
Without wasting any words, Shadow dropped a bombshell!
"Bang--"
The prayer beads were crushed, exploding with a bang, and then the remaining beads rolled to the ground one by one...
The tinkling sound, like the beat of a drum, pounded heavily on the ground and struck someone's heart.
A terrifying aura erupted from him, and a dense pressure spread out from Sheng Jin as the center.
Ordinary people would have been unable to withstand such pressure and would have been covered in cold sweat.
The kneeling figure didn't even blink, like an emotionless puppet, just waiting for the emperor's orders.
Unfortunately, the emperor seemed to have gone mad, staring blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
It took him a long time to come to his senses. His voice was unusually hoarse, as if he had suffered a major blow and had not yet recovered.
"Alright, you can go now."
"yes."
