Ning Yu tightly gripped the teacup, sweat oozing from his palms. A chill climbed up from the soles of his feet, flowing along his spine into his limbs and bones, making his whole body extremely cold.
The hatred in her heart surged up and almost swallowed her up.
Her son could have survived, but someone wanted to kill her hope and drown him. Everything was gone.
Who is so cruel? !
He was still so young, he hadn't even finished exploring the entire palace...
Noticing that the Queen looked a little off, Concubine De hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Ning Yu barely suppressed her emotions, "Nothing's wrong. I'm doing fine now. I've found clues to the emperor's murderer, and I can't thank you enough."
Seeing that the Queen seemed to have calmed down, Concubine De slowly said, "Your Majesty, please don't tell anyone about me."
Ning Yu naturally knew what Concubine De meant and slowly stood up, "I understand."
After sending the queen away, Concubine De sighed softly and looked at the sky which was gradually covered by dark clouds. With dark clouds pressing down on the city, it seemed that there would be trouble in the harem as well.
After Ning Yu returned to Kunning Palace, he rubbed his brows and thought carefully about what Defei had just said.
If the palace maid who pushed the little prince was instigated by Ye Gengyi sent by Concubine Xu, then who killed Concubine De's palace maid Xia Mei?
Could it be that Concubine Xu sent someone to kill him?
In this harem, only Concubine Xu has the final say.
But Ning Yu vaguely felt that something was wrong.
These thoughts are like intricately woven silk threads, which cannot be cut or sorted out. I can only take one step at a time and see what happens.
Night falls and the night becomes dark.
Mist is constantly rising from the gold-enamel nine-peach incense burner, curling up hazily, and a faint fragrance is exuding in the air, which is refreshing and makes people feel happy.
Ning Yu had just finished bathing and changed into a snow-white undergarment when she was startled to see Chu Hewang suddenly appear in front of her.
"Why are you here?"
Chu Hewang's scorching gaze fell on Ning Yu. She was covered in moisture, her cheeks were white and clean, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, and her flower-like lips were especially tender and beautiful.
Ning Yu was so stunned by the look on her face that she couldn't help but think of what Chu Hewang said to her last time.
——"...Please prepare it, Your Majesty."
What are you ready for?
Before Ning Yu could figure it out, Chu Hewang slowly approached the Queen, his gaze burning as it fell on her lips. "I have helped Her Majesty so much. How should Her Majesty repay me?"
Ning Yu looked away uncomfortably, feeling somewhat guilty. "How about ten thousand taels of gold?"
Chu Hewang chuckled and held her chin with his fingers. "There are many in my humble residence."
"I am missing a beautiful lady."
Ning Yu had to meet Chu Hewang's gaze. She could clearly see the possessiveness in the man's eyes and shuddered. "...I can give you a beautiful woman, my Lord. She will be extremely charming..."
"In the eyes of this humble servant, no beauty in the world can compare to your Majesty."
Chu Hewang increased the strength of his fingers, almost leaving red marks on the snow-white chin, "I only want the queen."
Chu Hewang spoke very bluntly.
Ning Yu couldn't find any excuses anymore.
But she still didn't want to be involved with the future rebel, and tried to show her dignity as a queen.
"I am the wife of the current emperor. How dare you, a mere subject, covet the empress? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor about this?!"
Chu Hewang placed his thumb on Ning Yu's lips and rubbed them hard, as if the juice was squeezed out of rose petals. His eyes couldn't help but darken.
"I will not stop you, Your Majesty, but first let me taste it and see how it tastes."
Before Ning Yu could react, Chu Hewang's cold lips had already fallen down. After just a few sips, his tongue couldn't wait to pry open the lips and flexibly drilled in.
Domineering and greedy, just like Chu Hewang himself, he wanted to swallow Ning Yu whole.
Ning Yu was forced to endure it. She didn't want to dance with the man and wanted to hide aside, but in Chu Hewang's eyes, it was naked seduction.
It will only arouse a man's inherent possessiveness and lead to more brutal behavior.
Ning Yu was annoyed and took advantage of Chu Hewang's inattention to bite him hard.
Chu Hewang cried out in pain, but still refused to let her go. A bloody smell filled their mouths.
Ning Yu didn't expect that Chu Hewang was so desperate and still refused to let her go.
It was unknown how long it had been before Chu Hewang reluctantly let Ning Yu go. The queen had already been numb all over from the kiss, as if she had been electrocuted. All her strength was instantly drained, and she had to fall into the man's arms.
Chu Hewang looked down at the obedient queen, his face full of satisfaction, "Are you comfortable?"
Ning Yu didn't want Chu Hewang to feel proud, so she deliberately said, "It's so uncomfortable."
A smile flashed across Chu Hewang's eyes. His voice was a little hoarse as he said shamelessly, "Since that's the case, let's do it again. I must serve the queen well..."
Ning Yu hurriedly stopped him. She was fed up with that strange feeling. Chu Hewang was like a hungry wolf and could only say a few words with difficulty.
"...It's alright."
Chu Hewang smiled slightly and suddenly asked, "Has Your Majesty ever kissed the Empress?"
Ning Yu felt confused and nodded after hesitating for a while.
Whenever they made love, only when their passion was at its peak would Xiao Yan kiss her like a tiger, as if he wanted to pour out all his emotions.
Chu Hewang felt as if he had eaten a large pot of vinegar in his heart, so sour as to be extremely jealous, but he still looked very serious, "This humble official has only kissed your Majesty."
The implication is that the emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem, and no one knows how much rouge his mouth has consumed.
Ning Yu also thought of this, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted with the emperor.
Chu Hewang glanced at Ning Yu's slightly bulging belly, feeling even more distressed. However, he was also worried that the fetus might harm the Queen. "How is your Majesty's health lately?"
Ning Yu didn't expect Chu Hewang to ask this. She lowered her eyes slightly and replied softly, "It's okay."
The candlelight flickered slightly, the queen's cheeks were rosy, her expression was focused and loving, full of expectation and love for the child.
Chu Hewang felt more and more uncomfortable, and suddenly had a thought of escaping, but he didn't want Ning Yu to see it.
His expression was gloomy, his eyes dark and a little cold, "I have something else to do, so I'll go first."
When Ning Yu saw Chu Hewang finally leave, a look of joy appeared on his face. He just hoped that he would not come again!
Chu Hewang paused for a moment and thrust a lustrous jade pendant into Ning Yu's hand. "If there's any emergency, Your Majesty, please send someone to find Deputy Commander Cheng Ming. He'll help you."
In the blink of an eye, Chu Hewang's figure disappeared in the inner hall.
