Xu Gengyi's eyes were full of astonishment, and her beautiful face was full of disbelief. She wanted to go forward and hug Xiao Yan's thighs, but was kicked away by Xiao Yan.
Xu Gengyi felt an unbearable pain in her abdomen, and a trickle of blood slowly dripped from the corner of her mouth. "Your Majesty, I did all this for you. Why do you treat me like this? Was all your past favors fake?!"
Xiao Yan showed some impatience on his face and glanced at Eunuch Fu.
Eunuch Fu immediately called a few eunuchs and wanted to take Xu Gengyi away.
Xu Gengyi glanced at them with disgust and slowly stood up, "Don't touch me! I can walk on my own!"
Xu Gengyi straightened her back, stepped over the threshold, and ignored the glaring and complacent looks falling on her, as if she was still the high and mighty imperial concubine.
As long as the Xu family has not collapsed, His Majesty will not give up on her.
The emperor's palms rested on Ning Yu's waist, his handsome face filled with tenderness. "Are you satisfied with this outcome? If it's not enough to vent your anger, I will immediately decree that Xu Gengyi be buried with our prince."
Ning Yu looked dazed as she stared at Xiao Yan, her lips filled with bitterness. "But our child will never come back. So what if Xu Gengyi died?"
Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with pity. He held Ning Yu's soft hand and said sincerely, "I promise you that we will have a child. If it's a little prince, I will make him the crown prince. If it's a princess, I will make sure she grows up safely and happily."
Ning Yu lowered her eyelids, her face full of gratitude.
For the next period of time, the emperor was worried about the empress, so in order to facilitate his work, he moved all the memorials to Kunning Palace.
Since the queen's child died, the emperor has never entered the harem to visit the concubines, including Concubine Shen, and the harem is like a decoration.
Xiao Yan's eyebrows drooped slightly, and his tone was filled with a hint of guilt. "Queen, I still have some matters to deal with. I can't accompany you for the next few days."
Ning Yu looked at the emperor with her autumn-water eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "I am very grateful for your Majesty's company these days. Your Majesty, please go and get busy."
After the emperor left, Ning Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yan has been staying in Kunning Palace all this time. In order to win the emperor's pity, she pretended that she couldn't eat anything and she almost lost a lot of weight due to starvation.
Ning Yu was just about to ask Lixiang to serve some seasonal fruits when a dark figure suddenly appeared in the dormitory. He was tall and graceful, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, and a frosty face.
It was Chu Hewang, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time.
Ning Yu was stunned for a moment. "Why are you here?"
Suddenly I remembered that night had not yet fallen, and I didn’t know how Chu Hewang got in?
It was not discovered at all.
Chu Hewang didn't say anything, his eyes greedily falling on Ning Yu. His eyes were slightly swollen, his eyelids were crimson, the corners of his lips were pale, and he seemed to be a little tired. Even his robe was a little loose, making him look more pitiful.
\"How are you...?\"
Chu Hewang's eyes were filled with pity and heartache, and he took credit for it, saying, "The Emperor has been guarding you the entire time. I finally found a chance to lure him away so I could come visit you, Your Majesty."
Ning Yu's pupils trembled. She hadn't expected the Emperor to say that Chu Hewang had led her away. She couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered by His Majesty?"
Chu Hewang raised the corners of his lips, not deeply. "Are you concerned about me, Madam?"
Ning Yu bit her lip. "I was just asking casually. I've almost recovered under the care of the imperial physician."
"You should leave quickly. It would be bad if someone found you."
Chu Hewang slowly dusted off the nonexistent dust. His pupils darkened deeply, and he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have helped you so much, and this is how you treat me?"
Ning Yu felt a little guilty when she heard this. "...Thank you for involving the Xu family in this matter. I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."
Chu Hewang pressed the tip of his tongue against the upper jaw, his eyes roaming over the queen's lips. "Can I kiss you?"
Ning Yu's face suddenly turned red.
Before she could say anything, a pair of arms as strong as iron wrapped around her waist, forcing her to lean against him, and his cold lips fell down.
Ning Yu wanted to speak, but all his words were pushed back by the tip of the tongue. He could not say anything and could only utter some meaningless syllables.
Chu Hewang made rapid progress this time. He no longer lingered in her mouth. His big hand moved unconsciously, slowly moving up from her waist. The fabric of her clothes was thin, and she could feel the man's palm was extremely hot.
It made her whole body hot and uncomfortable, as if she had fallen into water and was wet all over.
"That's enough..."
Ning Yu grabbed the man's hand and tried to continue doing whatever he wanted.
Chu Hewang also stopped, let go of her, and pulled out his fingers. He stared at her deeply, his breathing slightly disordered. "You have feelings for me."
Ning Yu looked up at the man, her eyes sparkling as if wet with water. She didn't want to admit it, but because of the teasing just now, her voice had already become sweet.
"So what? If His Majesty were to come, I would do the same."
Chu Hewang's face darkened instantly, and a cold aura emanated from his body, as majestic as the sea.
If it were someone else, they would have been frightened and fallen to their knees, but Ning Yu was already accustomed to seeing palm prints in front of her and was not afraid.
Chu Hewang collected his thoughts, suppressed the bitterness and anger in his heart, and casually said, "The little prince's murderer is not only Xu Gengyi."
Ning Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and her face was full of surprise. "What do you mean by that?"
I have a bad feeling in my heart.
"The young prince was the emperor's eldest son, a very important person. Yet, when he drowned in Taiye Lake, it didn't cause much of a stir. Only one person in the world could have accomplished this: the current emperor."
Chu Hewang's voice was extremely calm and cruel. He revealed the truth to Ning Yu without any hesitation.
He wanted to let the queen see the emperor's true hypocritical and cruel face!
