Chapters 42 - 42

He steeled his heart, ignoring her stiffness. His movements were getting faster and faster, crazier and crazier. Only at this moment could he feel that she truly belonged to him.

Beneath him, her eyes were tightly shut, and the corners of her lips were tightly pursed …

However, he suddenly stretched out his hand and scooped her up into his embrace, letting her body stick tightly to his embrace.

Her body stiffened once again.

He secretly let out a sigh, raised a hand, and held her silky long hair. With hot lips, he moved closer to her ear, and after rubbing against her ear lightly for a while, it caused her to shudder. The corner of his lips slowly curled up, "Qing Er, you have been in the palace for nineteen years, and we have already been husband and wife for nineteen years."

"Right." Queen replied softly. She just didn't understand why he would suddenly say those words.

"Chen Er is almost eighteen years old." Emperor's lips lightly covered her earlobes, his low voice somewhat vague.

"Yes." Queen was startled, then once again replied in a low voice, as her body began to tremble even more lightly.

"Time flies." The Emperor's voice seemed a little complicated.

"What does Emperor want to say?" Queen's eyes flashed, and could not help but ask.

"I want to say, let's do it again." Emperor suddenly turned around and pressed down on her. His eyes were once again filled with burning madness. He had been husband and wife for nineteen years already, but every time he touched her, he would still lose control like a seventeen or eighteen year old boy.

In the next moment, before she could even react, he fiercely kissed her again. This time, he became even more crazy and fierce.

The room arranged for Tang Ke Xin by the Aunt Xi was extremely close to the one in the Queen, just a wall away.

Aunt Xi definitely did not expect the old man's wife's Emperor and Queen to be so intense in the middle of the night. Aunt Xi definitely did not expect Tang Ke Xin's hearing to be so much better than normal.

Therefore, Tang Ke Xin, who was already too stuffy to sleep, was even less able to sleep.

Tang Ke Xin turned her body over and over on the bed a few times, sighed inwardly, then got up and quietly left the room.

Actually, it was already too hot. Not only was it hot, it was also very stuffy. In such a hot and stuffy weather, there was no air-conditioning, and there wasn't even a fan.

After leaving the room, Tang Ke Xin did not disturb anyone. In the middle of the night, the people in the Courtyard had basically all gone to sleep, and the people in the Emperor did not leave anyone behind to serve them, so even the palace maids beside the Queen went to rest.

Normally, Kunning Palace would not have so many guards. Even if there were, they would only be guarding from afar, not too close. However, Emperor would stay here for the night, which made the situation different.

Tang Ke Xin quietly walked under a tree. Coincidentally, there was a bench under the tree, and she laid down on it.

The night was hazy, and the leaves were obscured. It was very difficult to find her.

When the cold wind blew, it made him feel much better. Tang Ke Xin closed her eyes and decided to sleep here for a while.

However, in the next moment, her eyes suddenly opened, revealing a sharp glint within the darkness.

As the cold wind blew past, she suddenly smelled a scent, the same smell she had smelled from Xiao Cui's body earlier in the day.

Through the dense foliage, Tang Ke Xin looked in the direction where the cold wind was blowing, and saw a figure walking over.

Tang Ke Xin squinted her eyes and held her breath.

"Head of the exhibition." When the guards outside the Courtyard saw this person, they respectfully saluted.

Tang Ke Xin also recognized him. He was the Zhan Wei, he was responsible for the safety of the Kunning Palace.

After that, the Emperor had specially arranged for guards to protect the Queen. All of the guards were personally selected by the Emperor, and the Zhan Wei was one of the strongest.

The guards outside the Kunning Palace, including the Zhan Wei, were all under the supervision of the Internal Affairs Bureau. They also needed to report to the Liu Gonggong beside the Emperor at all times.

Therefore, the guards would usually report the situation in detail to the Emperor.

Just that, why does Zhan Wei have the same scent as Xiao Cui?

That smell was very unique, so unique that it was her first time smelling it. At that moment, she felt that it was not a coincidence that it appeared on both of them at the same time.

As for him, he was the guard chief of the Kunning Palace, and was in charge of the safety of the Kunning Palace as well as the safety of the Queen. It could be seen that the Queen trusted him quite a lot.

Tang Ke Xin's eyes became cold layer by layer.

"Carefully patrol." Zhan Wei instructed in a deep and pleasant voice.

Tang Ke Xin saw him earlier in the day. He looked like a talented person with a graceful bearing.

"Yes, yes. Please rest assured, we are here to guard and will be fine. The time is still early, we can rest now."

"Yes, the weather is too hot and humid. I'll go wash first before coming over."

Hearing the conversation from afar, Tang Ke Xin roughly understood that the Zhan Wei was probably on duty for the night shift. Even if there was an assassination attempt in the palace, it would usually be in the middle of the night, so the Zhan Wei would personally stand guard outside the Kunning Palace in the middle of the night.

All of this seemed normal, without any flaws.

If it were not for the fact that he had smelled the scent earlier, Tang Ke Xin would not have paid much attention to it.

However …

There was a guard department in the palace that was used by guards for temporary purposes. Ordinary guards would not stay in the palace, but there were some that stayed in the palace for 24 hours, just like the imperial guards by Emperor's side.

Although the Zhan Wei was now in charge of the security of the Kunning Palace, it could be considered to be of this nature.

Guards were people after all, not machines. They also had some daily needs, so the guards' department was prepared for them.

Zhan Wei said that he wanted to take a bath, so he wanted to go to the guard's place?

Only, Tang Ke Xin faintly felt that it was not that simple.

Seeing Zhan Wei turn around and leave, Tang Ke Xin's eyes flashed. In this kind of situation, she couldn't disturb anyone, the Queen and the Emperor were in the middle of making love in their room.

The guards outside were extremely respectful towards the Zhan Wei.

Furthermore, if anything happened, any movement could alert the enemy.

When she was five years old, she was adopted by a head, and the military's senior doctor especially liked her. Initially, he had only told her a few things in amusement, but after discovering that she had a special talent for medicine, he taught her all the knowledge he had learned throughout his life. Afterwards, the head sent her abroad to study western medicine.

After learning it, she was assigned to be a military doctor in a special army.

Although she was a doctor, she did not need to undergo the almost brutal training that everyone else in the army did.

However, she still had some basic training, so she had mastered some scouting and concealing techniques.

As long as she was careful, following Zhan Wei should not be a problem, and only after seeing him walk a distance away, Tang Ke Xin stood up carefully and followed from the other side of the small path.

Tang Ke Xin knew that the Zhan Wei's martial arts were strong, so she didn't dare to get too close. She only followed from afar, as long as she made sure that she didn't lose them.

Fortunately, there were no guards on their way after leaving the Kunning Palace.

Tang Ke Xin tried her best to find some hidden places to hide herself.

Following that, Tang Ke Xin realized that she had followed him until she reached the fake mountain where the murder had occurred during the day. Tang Ke Xin was startled, but suddenly she became alert that the Zhan Wei in front of her had stopped for a second, she quickly bent down and hid behind the fake mountain, doing her best to hold back her breath, to prevent herself from making any sound.

Zhan Wei did not stop and continued moving forward.

Tang Ke Xin secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that the Zhan Wei was already walking further and further away, he then went around to the front of the fake mountain and stood up.

But, in the next moment, Tang Ke Xin suddenly bumped into a wall, just that the wall was a bit soft and warm, and had a pressure that made it hard to breathe.

No, this was not a wall, but a chest, a man's chest.

Wasn't this the equivalent of throwing oneself into a hug?

Obviously, this was not the most shocking thing. What surprised Tang Ke Xin the most was that when she had just gotten up, her head had been lifted, and that man had lowered his head.

Then, coincidentally, his lips touched hers.
