Chu Yunzhang walked up to Tong Caiyi and looked at her with concern, completely ignoring Ling Piaohong, who was lying on the ground.
"Are you alright?"
Tong Caiyi nodded and shook her head. She opened her mouth wide and tried to spit out the purple fruit, but she had already swallowed it. How could she spit it out?
Seeing this, Chu Yunzhang knew that Tong Caiyi must have asked the vixen to feed him something. He immediately swept his gaze across the table and caught sight of a bunch of purple fruits that looked like grapes.
He picked up the fruit and sniffed it. This was…wasn't this an aphrodisiac for men? Why…
He looked at Tong Caiyi in disbelief. She was trying her best to spit out the fruit, but her face was flushed red. He couldn't help but ask,"You ate this?"
Tong Caiyi nodded her head innocently, and tears were almost coming out of her eyes.
Chu Yunzhang laughed out loud." You, you're really…I thought you had eaten something and rushed in. So it's this thing."”
Tong Caiyi stood up with a thud. She was angry and annoyed, but because Ling Piaohong was present, she could not flare up. She could only glare at him fiercely, then leave without saying a word.
Chu Yunzhang's face was full of smiles as he stepped forward to support Tong Caiyi, who was still swaying, and said loudly,""This lowly subject will escort the Emperor back to the palace."
However, before the two of them reached the door, they suddenly heard Ling Piaohong, who was lying on the ground, call out,"Someone come! Chu Yunzhang has evil intentions and wants to hold the emperor hostage.”
Tong Caiyi and Chu Yunzhang were both stunned. Before they could react, the door was pushed open, and dozens of armed guards rushed in and surrounded them.
At the same time, Ling Wang walked in.
"Chu Yunzhang, how dare you hold the emperor hostage? Are you tired of living? Hurry up and let go of the emperor!"
Tong Caiyi glared at him." Ling Xiong, stand down. I was the one who ordered him to come in and protect the Emperor. What do you know?"”
Ling Xiong cupped his hands," Your Majesty, this official has been guarding the door, afraid that when Your Majesty has any orders, this official will miss Your Majesty's orders in a flash. If that happens, this official should die ten thousand times." However, this official did not hear any orders from the Emperor. Instead, this official heard Shu Fei Niangniang shouting, so this official dared to barge in.”
"It doesn't matter if you heard it or not. In short, it was this one who called him in!”
Ling Xiong shook his head." That won't do. A mere guard in front of the palace dares to break into the south study without obeying the imperial edict. It's hard to say if he'll do something treasonous in the future."”
Tong Caiyi couldn't help but feel a little angry." Ling Wang, you!”
"Emperor, please calm down! As the Minister of War, I have the responsibility to protect the Emperor and Nan Liao. This subject has already investigated. This Chu Yunzhang is one of the notorious Nine Phoenixes of Dunhuang. He is known as Yue Tian in the martial world. He came to the palace to assassinate the emperor. For the emperor's safety, please forgive this subject's impudence!”
Ling Xiong waved his hand." Men, take Chu Yunzhang to the imperial prison and wait for his execution."”
Tong Caiyi raised her hands in front of Chu Yunzhang.
"You dare?"
Ling Kong narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to give Ling Piaohong a meaningful glance.
Ling Piaohong understood, and immediately got up and threw herself into Tong Caiyi's arms. She sobbed and said,"Emperor, please forgive ChenQie. It's ChenQie's fault. ChenQie didn't serve the emperor well and made the emperor angry. Emperor, you must not be angry.”
As he spoke, he reached out his hand and caressed Tong Caiyi's chest, pushing her back.
Tong Caiyi was both angry and shocked. She frantically tried to get rid of Ling Piaohong, but this woman seemed to be a reincarnation of a spider demon from her past life. She was good at entangling, and no matter how hard Tong Caiyi struggled, she couldn't get rid of her.
Just as Chu Yunzhang was about to be taken away, a sweet voice suddenly came from outside the door."Stop, Ling Xiong, I was the one who asked Chu Yunzhang to come in and protect the spirit beast!”
Ling Xiong looked over and saw Princess Yaojin, who was personally conferred by the Emperor of the Southern Liao Dynasty, Tong Hao!! Shangguan Yao 'er walked over.
Shangguan Yao 'er came up to Tong Caiyi and curtsied." Greetings, Your Majesty!"”
She then turned around and glanced at Chu Yunzhang, before saying to Ling Wang,""Ling Xiong, don't you need to bow and kowtow when you see this princess?”
Ling Xiong was helpless. He gritted his teeth and knelt down." Greetings, Princess!”
Shangguan Yao 'er snorted." Ling Xiong, after such a long time, you still haven't improved at all? The last time you entered the Gathering of Guiling and presented yourself to the Emperor, you were severely punished by the Empress Dowager. Why did you change to something new this time? You deliberately want the emperor to die of exhaustion on a woman, right?”
Ling Kong's face turned pale, but he still argued,""This subject is loyal to the country and wholeheartedly thinks for the emperor. I absolutely dare not have any other thoughts.”
"Is that so? But don't you know that according to the laws of the Southern Liao, concubines are not allowed to enter the outer court unless they are summoned? This South Study should be considered a part of the Outer Court, right?”
Ling Kong was rendered speechless. Everyone had just witnessed that Ling Piaohong was not summoned to the south study, but was summoned by Ling Kong.
Shangguan Yao 'er smiled coldly." Chu Yunzhang was called in by this princess, so he is not guilty. However, Consort Shu is different. She barged into the southern study without being summoned. Ling Xiong, you are the Minister of War, so you should be familiar with the law. How do you think we should deal with her?”
Ling Xiong's eyes widened, but he couldn't do anything.
Shangguan Yao 'er turned to Tong Caiyi." Your Majesty, what do you think we should do?"”
Tong Caiyi leaned against Chu Yunzhang, her body on the verge of collapsing. She said weakly,"Consort Shu is lascivious and shameless. She has disturbed the palace and entered the South Study without being summoned. She has disturbed the government and should be executed." But since she has served me for so many years, I'll give her twenty slaps and kick her out of the palace! I never want to see her again!”
Hearing this, Ling Piaohong's legs gave way and she fainted.
Shen Luyi, who had been waiting for Tong Caiyi to return from the Rou Yi Palace, was so surprised that she could not speak when she saw Tong Caiyi enter with Chu Yunzhang in tow.
"Emperor, what's wrong? What happened?" Shen Luyi hurried forward, wanting to help Tong Caiyi back to her bed to rest.
But Tong Caiyi shook her head." I'm fine. You can leave first. He's here."”
"He" naturally referred to Chu Yunzhang.
Shen Lu Yi had a troubled expression. According to the rules, guards were not allowed to enter the inner palace, especially when stepping into the place where the concubines were. However, Shen Luyi knew that Chu Yunzhang's status was different. He could not be compared to an ordinary guard. However, if he were to stay in such a grand manner, he was afraid that the rumors would spread all over the place before dawn.
Shen Luyi looked around and first dismissed the eunuchs and palace maids, then said in a small voice,""Caiyi, you can't let him stay here.”
Tong Caiyi panted, her cheeks flushed red." I know, but it has to be him today. Otherwise, I won't be able to live past tomorrow."”
Shen Lu Yi was shocked." What do you mean by not being able to live past tomorrow? Caiyi, what's wrong?"
Tong Caiyi shook her head. Her entire body felt like it was on fire." Don't ask. Just do it."”
Shen Luyi had no choice but to nod at Chu Yunzhang, and the two of them used their voices to put on a show.
"Chu Yunzhang, you can leave. I'll be fine here!" Shen Luyi said.”
Chu Yunzhang also replied loudly,"Yes, Empress!"
"Remember to be quiet. Just go out from the back door. The emperor is tired and doesn't want to hear the sound of banging.”
"Yes, Empress!"
Then, Shen Luyi ran to the door of the inner room, opened it, and closed it again. Finally, the people outside thought that Chu Yunzhang had left. After arranging everything, she said to Tong Caiyi worriedly,"I'll go to the next room. If there's anything, call me, understand?”
Before Tong Caiyi could reply, Chu Yunzhang spoke up,""I'm here, don't worry!"
Shen Luyi nodded and glanced at Chu Yunzhang again. She turned around and left, leaving the world to the two of them.
Seeing that Shen Luyi had left, Tong Caiyi could no longer hold it in. She threw herself into Chu Yunzhang's arms, her red lips searching for him.
"Brother Yun, I'm so sad. Can you help me?”
"Of course, Cai 'er, do you know what you're doing?”
Tong Caiyi nodded." I know. Why didn't I know?" Otherwise, why would I want Sister Lu Yi to go out?”
"You are the emperor of the Southern Liao Dynasty now. Once people find out about what happened today, both of our lives may be in danger, do you know that?”
"I know, but I'm going to die now. I don't care what happens in the future.”
Chu Yunzhang laughed involuntarily." With your Brother Yun around, how could you die?”
"But I'm so sad and hot!”She twisted her body uneasily and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Chu Yunzhang slowly pressed her down, his hands busy taking off her clothes and all her clothes, exposing her to his eyes without any concealment." That's food for men to eat. It would be strange if you didn't feel sad after eating it."”
"But I'm a woman. Why would a woman have a reaction after eating it?”
"Women are also human beings. They also have emotions and desires. How can there be no reaction?”
"But…"
"Shh! Don't talk, I'm going to kiss you." Yes, that's it."
Tong Caiyi exclaimed," Brother Yun!”
"Not yet, my little emperor," Chu Yunzhang said hoarsely.”
After a year, she had grown even more beautiful.
Although she was beautiful a year ago, she had a hint of a little girl's playfulness and innocence. Her beauty was mixed with innocence, and her innocence was filled with intelligence. It made people want to hide her and protect her well, not letting her suffer any grievances.
A year later, after experiencing a few storms, she had shed the innocence and liveliness of a little girl and turned into a mature woman. She was charming, dignified, bewitching, and charming. Although she always wore a dragon robe and a dragon crown, pretending to be an emperor, he knew that under the dragon robe was a pure and beautiful body. She was a little demon that made people love and dote on her. She was also a peerless beauty that made him think of nothing but to love her completely once.
In the middle of the night, a sliver of silver moonlight shone in through the window, illuminating everything in Rou Yi Palace and the people entangled on the bed.
Chu Yunzhang hugged Tong Caiyi with satisfaction.
"Cai 'er, now can you tell me why you became Tong Hao? Also, where did the real Tong Hao go?”
Tong Caiyi closed her eyes lazily, her body feeling the warmth of his chest. Her nose was filled with his refreshing and pleasant scent. She did not want to think about anything, nor did she want to say anything. At least, she did not want to say anything at this moment.
"Cai 'er, you still won't tell me, still won't tell me?" Chu Yunzhang asked. I know you have your difficulties, but you have to let me know so that I can help you, right?”
Tong Caiyi opened her eyes." I…"
He grabbed her small hand and placed it on his chest, letting her feel his pounding heart,"Cai 'er, what do you feel?"”
"Your heart is beating so fast."
"I'm jumping because of you. I'm uneasy because of you, do you know that?”
"Me?"
"Yes, because you won't say anything. You won't tell me anything. This will make me anxious and uneasy. I will never know if you are real or if you will stay by my side forever, or if you will suddenly disappear like a year ago, making me unable to find you no matter how hard I look. I will never know why you left me or how you became the emperor.”
" Brother Yun, I, I really want to tell you, but I'm afraid…"
"What are you afraid of?"
"I was afraid that you would be implicated, and even more afraid that you would be in danger. That was the last thing I wanted to see.”
"But seeing you bear all this alone, facing danger alone, don't tell me I'm not worried and afraid?”
"I…"
"Cai 'er, say it! Don't you trust me?"
Tong Caiyi hesitated whether she should tell Chu Yunzhang the truth. If she said it, she was afraid that he would be implicated, and if she didn't say it, she was afraid that he would be suspicious. Besides, with his personality, could he keep silent like this? No one knew him better than she did. No one knew better than her how strong and domineering he was! Therefore, instead of making him so suspicious, it was better to tell him directly. That way, he might be able to help her think of a way, right?
Thinking of this, Tong Caiyi nodded." Alright, I'll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret for me. Otherwise, not only the two of us, but even my mother's life will be in danger."”
" Of course!" Chu Yunzhang said coolly." Go ahead!" I'm listening!"
"The reason why the emperor's brother is unable to attend to matters is because he is currently recuperating in a very secluded place.”
"Rest? Is he sick?" Chu Yunzhang sat up and pulled her into his arms, covering them with the blanket.
"You can say that he's sick."
"What do you mean by 'sick'? Is he really not sick?"
Tong Caiyi sighed softly." This matter started a year ago. Brother Yun, do you remember how we met a year ago?”
"Of course, you're so cunning. In order to get to know me, you actually dug a trap in the col. You locked yourself in there and tricked me into saving you!”He looked at her charming little face and pinched her little nose.
Recalling the strange and funny scene when they first met each other in the same trap, the beautiful scene of fighting and supporting each other, the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Actually, I didn't do it willingly. It was my brother who asked me to do it," said Tong Caiyi.”
Chu Yunzhang raised his eyebrows." Tong Hao? Why did he want you to do this?"
"Because of the Nine Phoenix Ring."
