Feng Ning Yan lifted up the brush shaft, gently stirring the ink within the brush wash.

Shen Ling Jue took a sip of his tea, his expression softer than before. "This King knows that there is only the Royal Consort."

Feng Ning Yan smiled. She carefully washed her brush and hung it on the holder as she continued:

"However, whether it's the justice courts investigating the murder of Li Yu, the evidence of the crown prince's corruption in the Henan Province, or our trip to Skeleton Island for evidence, none of it has anything to do with Shen Youhuang. He doesn't have a backer now, so he's even more confident and arrogant."

"That's because he had long prepared for the Prince to be investigated in secret. Even if we didn't investigate, he would have given clues to those with the authority to investigate. That Skeleton Island was an opening that Shen Youhuang had purposefully revealed. How could they leave behind evidence that would aid in their tyranny? "

As he said that, Shen Ling Jue finished the cup of tea in one gulp. He suddenly felt refreshed and the gloom in his heart disappeared.

He looked at Feng Ningyan with admiration and couldn't help but hold her in his arms.

"To be able to gain such a close friend in one's life, what else do I need …"

Jing Qi and Chu Zhao finally understood.

Chu Zhao slapped his thigh, "Ouch! If Shen Youhuang had deliberately sacrificed Skeleton Island to bring down the crown prince and he still had the heart to rebel, he would've used the same method to raise assassins elsewhere! Maybe even more powerful than on Skeleton Island! "

This was the reason why Shen Ling Jue said that Shen You Huang was the second crown prince.

The Crown Prince fell, but it was just a display of dignity.

As for Shen Youhuang, the influence that had been hidden away for so long would quickly strengthen him.

Feng Ning Yan lightly leaned on Shen Ling Jue's shoulder, and when she heard his gentle and powerful heartbeat, she knew that he was no longer as crazy and self-critical as before.

She raised her head and smiled. "Your Highness, I don't like to see you frown. Can you smile?"

When Shen Ling Jue heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

His appearance was like a brilliant sun piercing through a thick fog, shining with boundless light that shone down on the earth, causing one's heart to feel sweet and warm.

Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but be confused for a moment. His heart was like a weak tree swaying in the wind …

Seeing the two of them looking at each other without saying a word and with such deep feelings for each other, Jing Qi and Chu Zhao felt as if the two of them were two giant red candles that were shining brightly.

They looked at each other and sneaked out of the study.

Feng Ning Yan looked at Shen Ling Jue, and only regained her senses after a long while, and softly said: "They … "He ran away again …"

"Very good. You have good eyesight. You are rewarded." Shen Ling Jue chuckled, and hugged her even tighter.

His lips, moistened by the tea, appeared thinner and more beautiful, shining like cherries in early spring.

Feng Ningyan finally understood why other people would say that a girl's lips were "cherry lips". She couldn't help but feel thirsty, so she quivered her somewhat dry lips.

The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes wide as she felt one of his hands on her waist, the other on the back of her head. He leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

Her body jerked back against the table, but she did not fall. His strong arms locked her in place.

The bitter taste of the tea still lingered on his lips, making her think back to the time when she had fed him the Heartless Pill on the ship. Emotions surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck, taking the initiative to push him down on the desk.

Her breath was getting hotter and hotter. Towards Shen Lingjue, she had never indulged her feelings so much before.

Shen Ling Jue looked at him closely, his blurry eyes slowly closing, tightly grabbing onto her slender waist, enjoying the sweetness of this moment.

"Your Highness! Princess! It's time to eat! "

"Creak!" The door to the study was suddenly pushed open, and Ah Yao rushed in like a gust of wind.

"Huh?" When she saw the scene of 'Luan Luan pushing the phoenix' on the desk, she was suddenly stunned and did not know what to do.

Oh my god! What do I see! It was the wangfei who was using force against the prince! So what Lan Zhu said was true! Our Princess is really a discontented and proactively unrestrained woman!

The number one beautiful man of Da Su Country and the number one beautiful woman of Da Su Country had an inverted kiss …

This scene was too beautiful, causing her to be unable to shift her gaze away. She was drooling with her mouth open, wishing that she could draw this painting in the blink of an eye and treat it as her family's treasure!

Only now did Feng Ningyan realize that someone had barged in, and was still staring at the two of them without blinking, drooling …

"Mom!" She let go of Shen Ling Jue with a scream, and immediately retreated far away. She wiped her lips in a sorry state, "Ah Yao! Don't you know how to knock? "

"Wuwuwu …" Ah Yao was startled by her actions and pursed his lips. "The wangfei is so fierce towards Ah Yao!"

Shen Ling Jue couldn't help laughing out loud, standing up and grabbing her back.

"Ah Yao, wipe your saliva first. "Wangfei isn't fierce, she's shy. Don't be so rash in the future. After all, if we, the wangfei were to rise, no matter if it's day or night, study room or garden …"

"What did you say!" Feng Ning Yan's face was burning with embarrassment. She used her elbow to fiercely knock Shen Ling Jue aside and hurriedly ran out.

Shen Ling Jue rubbed his waist that was hurting, and pointed at Ah Yao: "I'm warning you, if you spoil this duke's plans again, I don't want you anymore!"

Ah Yao's pout grew even higher. "All of you are bullying me …" Saying so, he showed a smile, "But it doesn't matter, next time I can secretly watch it!"

Shen Ling Jue's face darkened. Looking at Nangong Xing Yao running out of the room, he helplessly shook his head.

Feng Ning Yan was scared out of her wits by Ah Yao. She began to sweat all over as she ran out in a flurry. Her mind was filled with the pink colored scenes from earlier, and she was embarrassed to the point of being ashamed.

She ran for a long distance and only calmed down after blowing on the wind for half a day. When she touched her face, it was finally not as hot as before. Only then did she return to Linlang Pavilion in a huff.

As soon as she entered, she could smell the fragrance of the room. This time, it was not flowers but the delicacies of mountains and seas. Just by smelling it, she could tell that at least seven or eight dishes were her favorite!

"Princess, come quickly!"

Lan Zhu and Ah Yao's smiles were very strange. They pulled Feng Ning Yan to the front of the table and sat together with Shen Ling Jue.

Feng Ning Yan felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She felt as if everyone already knew what had happened in the study.

She coughed dryly and said, "About that …" "What are you waiting for? All the meritorious officials have been gathered, let's begin!"

As he spoke, he opened the jar and poured himself a large cup. He downed the cup with a 'gulu gulu gulu' and was no longer embarrassed by the wine.

"Come come come! Cheers! "

Shen Ling Jue held her hand and asked, "Since you're drinking like that, could it be that you want to get drunk and let me do whatever I want?"

Hearing this, the other four people couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Feng Ning Yan glared at Shen Ling Jue, "Your Highness! You... You... Look at them laughing at me! "

Shen Ling Jue's face stiffened, his eyes coldly sweeping the four people by his side: "You all dare to laugh at an imperial concubine? Aren't you afraid that wangfei will punish you by standing and watching, forbidding you from eating? "

"I don't dare to!" Lan Zhu smiled as she raised her glass. "Your servant will do it first. I wish your highness and the wangfei always to have the same love, their children and grandchildren will always be the same!"

Feng Ningyan held in her laughter and shot a glance at her. She thought to herself, just who does this girl know the way the empress dowager and Xu mama do? I really don't know who she is.
