Chapter 491 Extra 10 Empress Zhao Zhao, Queen Jiu Jiu
Zhao Yunhuai slammed on the brakes.
He had been living under the control of the imperial sister since he was a child, and he knew what every move of the imperial sister meant. He immediately calmed down, returned to his original position and sat cross-legged, all his arrogance disappeared.
Yuchi Tingnan was sweating profusely. It was over, it was over, it was going to be the Queen's chopsticks stuck in him soon.
When she was young, she was Queen Jiujiu, and now she is Empress Chen Zhao. Her younger brothers are all afraid of her.
Several people looked at her.
But after a long while, the queen didn't say a word.
Lu Songwen observed the Queen's expression, slowly stood up from her side, and said, "The Emperor has something to ask Her Majesty, so we should withdraw first."
As a result, Empress Chen Zhao frowned again, and Lu Songwen did not dare to act rashly and could only stand where he was.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the Queen's instructions. The atmosphere in the hall was depressing.
But Xiu Ningchuan said coldly: "Let them go."
Zhao Yunhuai bared his teeth immediately, not daring to speak loudly, so he could only whisper: "You have no right to speak."
Empress Chen Zhao glanced at Zhao Yunhuai. When they thought she was going to side with the emperor's husband, she said, "You stay."
She raised her eyes to look at the person standing in the hall, smiled faintly and asked: "Ningchuan, what are you doing here?"
Hearing her calling him as usual, and even with a smile on her lips, it was hard to tell that they hadn't seen each other for half a month.
Xiu Ningchuan felt that her smile was dazzling and his voice was cold and floating.
"I'm here to invite Your Majesty to come back to bed and sleep with me. Didn't Your Majesty say that he would sleep better next to me?"
Yuchi Tingnan was holding a wine glass filled with fruit tea in his hand. He had just drunk half a cup to calm himself down when he heard the emperor's words and almost choked.
Zhao Yunhuai stared at Xiu Ningchuan, his eyes as big as those of a water buffalo.
Lu Songwen's expression was not very good either.
No matter how dissatisfied they were with the emperor, they had to face the fact that these two people had to sleep in the same bed at night. It's late at night now, and they are disturbing the couple's normal life.
Empress Chen Zhao looked at Xiu Ningchuan in surprise. She didn't expect him to say such words in public. This was not in line with his character.
She coughed and said, "I will leave in half an hour, you go back first."
Xiu Ningchuan refused to give in and said, "It will be the same if I stay and serve in Ziji Palace."
Empress Chen Zhao looked at him in surprise.
She didn't want to offend the emperor in public and make things difficult for him, so she waved her sleeves.
Yuchi Tingnan immediately pulled Zhao Yunhuai out of the hall. Lu Songwen walked slowly with his hands behind his back. When passing by Xiu Ningchuan, he seemed to bump into his shoulder accidentally.
Peace and tranquility returned to the palace.
Xiu Ningchuan turned around and closed the palace door, then walked to the Queen's desk, picked up the wine jug, shook it, and put it down again, leaving only the bottom of the jug.
Under the light, the empress's face was slightly red, which looked even more beautiful than with rouge on.
Xiu Ningchuan pinched his fingers and couldn't help but recall the feeling of touching her cheek.
He asked, "What is troubling your majesty?"
Empress Chen Zhao would only drink when she was happy or depressed. The last time she was drunk was on their wedding day.
The current situation is obviously not the former.
Facing his probing question, the Queen leaned her head and smiled vaguely, "Nothing, it's just that I haven't been together with Song Wen and the others for a long time."
Hearing this intimate song, Xiu Ningchuan said, "But I am upset."
The Queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Ningchuan would also be upset? I thought that Ningchuan had already reached the realm of a master and would not be moved by external things."
Xiu Ningchuan said: "Of course, I am also a human being, so I will naturally be troubled by human emotions."
Hearing this, Empress Chen Zhao's eyes flickered slightly. She smiled without answering and raised her hand to hold up the wine glass, but he grabbed her wrist and the wine in the glass shook onto his lapel.
The lapis lazuli seal characters on Xiu Ningchuan's collar were visible, and the Queen's eyes involuntarily fell on his collarbone.
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask me what my seven emotions and six desires are?"
The snow in his eyes seemed to turn into stars, shining so brightly that Empress Chen Zhao's head became even more dizzy.
She frowned and looked at the wrist he had grabbed, pretending to be angry and said, "You are so brave."
Xiu Ningchuan said: "You have to be bold once, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Empress Chen Zhao pushed him aside and walked towards the inner hall, saying, "I am tired and need to rest. Please leave the hall."
He appeared before her, but her avoidance became more and more obvious.
Xiu Ningchuan said from behind her: "Your Majesty, don't you think you should explain to me why you have been avoiding me all these days? Just because I called your Majesty's nickname a few times, you are guilty of this?"
Empress Chen Zhao returned to the narrow couch in the inner hall, closed her eyes and rubbed her tense head.
"Who taught you to be so presumptuous in front of me? I'll say it again, you immediately—"
Xiu Ningchuan had already walked in front of her, resting his arms on both sides of the narrow couch, leaning over to look at her face.
"Am I being presumptuous, or are you afraid?"
Empress Chen Zhao opened her eyes and said with a smile, "What am I afraid of?"
Xiu Ningchuan's voice was deep and hoarse.
"I'm afraid I'll get into your heart."
The queen's smile froze, she straightened the corners of her lips, turned her head inward, not wanting to see him again.
Xiu Ningchuan said in a low voice: "Otherwise I really can't figure out why."
Empress Chen Zhao said: "You are wrong."
Xiu Ningchuan immediately retorted: "I don't believe it."
Empress Chen Zhao then realized that her husband was extremely stubborn. She turned her back to him and said with a stern mouth, "You came to me for verification, but you don't listen to me?"
Xiu Ningchuan said: "I only believe what I feel."
Empress Chen Zhao said sullenly, "Believe it or not, I don't need to prove it to you anyway."
Xiu Ningchuan just said: "It's cold at night, don't sleep here, go to bed."
Empress Chen Zhao said: "It's none of your business."
Xiu Ningchuan completely ignored what she was saying, picked her up and put her on the large sandalwood bed in the inner room.
"I can accept that your majesty has great ambitions and a kingdom in his heart, and there is no place for me."
Xiu Ningchuan said gently: "But there can't be anyone else."
He lowered his head and gently helped her remove the crown. She looked at his handsome features and said strangely, "You are too greedy."
Xiu Ningchuan thought she was talking about him, so he stroked the hair that fell on her chest with his fingers and grabbed it in his palm.
"Yes, I just want this heart."
Xiu Ningchuan helped her lie down, covered her with a blanket, and blew out the extra candles, leaving only one.
He saw the Queen staring at him with her bright black eyes and refusing to close them.
Xiu Ningchuan's voice was like the softest feather in the world, coaxing him softly, "I will wait for Your Majesty to fall asleep and then leave the palace. Go to sleep, you have to get up early to attend court tomorrow."
Empress Chen Zhao turned over and faced him with her buttocks.
Xiu Ningchuan tucked in the quilt for her, and when her breathing became regular, he lowered the bed curtains and quietly left.
"Can you sing me a song to sleep?"
The voice of Empress Chen Zhao came from within the bed curtains, with a strong sense of sleepiness and perhaps a hint of anticipation that he could not discern.
Xiu Ningchuan turned around in surprise.
She said something again.
After hearing these words, Xiu Ningchuan's heart beat violently.
"If you want my heart."
