Chapter 44

"It's the middle of the night, suitable for a reunion." Ye Lan Jue spat out these words in a soft voice. It was very light, very light, and yet so natural.

All bullshit, all lies.

In the next moment, his body suddenly pressed down towards her, causing the originally slow and unhurried Qi to freeze, causing Tang Ke Xin to be startled for a moment. He immediately realised that Zhan Wei was walking towards him, obviously heading back to Kunning Palace.

Tang Ke Xin did not move, did not make a sound, and even subconsciously held her breath.

The current him was so close to her that he was practically sticking close to her. Naturally, he could clearly feel all of her reactions, including her heartbeat and her aura.

Ye Lan Jue's eyes flashed as he looked at her, he was truly alert, and his reaction was fast enough.

How could a fool who had just recovered from eighteen years of illness have such abilities?

"You're back so soon?" When the Zhan Wei was far from the fake mountain, Tang Ke Xin frowned. This speed was pretty fast, what did she do just now?

"What is it? It's a pity to hear your tone. " The corner of Ye Lan Jue's mouth slightly pulled, his words carried a bit of ridicule, but his tone seemed to have turned even colder.

As he spoke, he suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and tightened his grip.

Sensing his movements, Tang Ke Xin was shocked. What is he trying to do?

"Do you think you can make it back to the Kunning Palace before Zhan Wei?" Ye Lan Jue indifferently swept a glance at her. That voice was also very faint, but the cold eyes that were hidden in the darkness had a hint of seriousness in them.

Tang Ke Xin immediately understood what he meant. With her speed, she definitely would not be able to return to the Kunning Palace before the Zhan Wei, what if she could not return before the Zhan Wei?

Once Zhan Wei returned to the Kunning Palace, it would be very difficult for her to dive back in.

In such a critical situation, things like the so-called difference between a man and a woman should be avoided.

Furthermore, she had just hugged him, repressed him, and even kissed him. If he were to continue avoiding suspicion now, it would already be a tender affair.

Therefore, she could not refuse his help now.

However, he suddenly helped her like this. It was very strange, very frightening. Did he do that? Did you?

After what happened just now, the third prince's sinister character had already settled in Tang Ke Xin's heart. Thus, no matter what he did now, she felt a shadow in her heart.

However, Ye Lan Jue did not say anything else. He directly carried her and left the fake mountain, then returned to the Kunning Palace with his fastest speed.

That speed was so fast that it made Tang Ke Xin speechless. Tang Ke Xin finally realized why he was like a ghost every time he appeared, making people not notice him at all.

When Tang Ke Xin came back to her senses, Ye Lan Jue had already sent her to her room.

It was very obvious that the Zhan Wei had not returned yet, and seeing her directly to her room also avoided being discovered by others.

Tang Ke Xin's eyes flashed, Eh? How did he know where she lived?

However, she didn't have the time to ponder over this question. Soon after, gasps and moans from the room next door made her unable to move.

There were so many women in the harem. It was a miracle that he was still able to live to this day, and even be able to live so well.

However, Emperor and his wife were real husband and wife. It was already too early to get married in the ancient times, and Queen was only thirty-five years old, and Emperor was not even forty yet.

Furthermore, this was enough to show that the Emperor was extremely infatuated with the Queen. This should be a good thing for the Queen.

However, this situation was truly …

Previously, she was fine, but now there was even the addition of Ye Lan Jue. Furthermore, Ye Lan Jue had just carried her into the room, and hadn't even let her go.

She could even hear those voices, and with Ye Lan Jue's hearing, he would definitely be able to hear them even more clearly.

For a moment, Tang Ke Xin felt Ye Lan Jue's body seemingly stiffen, and then it was tightened.

Tang Ke Xin secretly heaved a sigh of relief as she tried her best to calm down. The commotion next door was getting more and more intense, and at the moment, in the darkness, there was only Ye Lan Jue and her, and he was still holding her.

In this situation, a man and a woman alone, with a fire burning in their hearts...

Pah! Pah! Pah! Tang Ke Xin, you, what are you thinking about? What the hell!

"Thank you, Your Highness, for sending me back." Tang Ke Xin could only lower his voice as much as possible and exert a little strength in order to struggle free from his embrace.

Tonight, it was indeed thanks to him sending her back. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have been able to return to the Kunning Palace before Zhan Wei.

Actually, she felt that Ye Lan Jue had really helped her on this matter, by sending her straight to her room, as well as avoiding a lot of trouble.

If he left her in the yard, he would most likely be discovered.

Of course, if there were no such ambiguous voices in the room, then this matter would be completed.

"What is it? Are you afraid? " However, Ye Lan Jue did not let her get away, his hands still wrapped around her waist, "This King thinks that you are too bold!" In the darkness, there seemed to be something strange within his eyes. He stared straight at her face, as if he wanted to see through his.

There seemed to be a few traces of probing in those eyes, but there was also a certain darkness.

Tang Ke Xin was slightly startled and subconsciously swallowed her saliva, "Your Highness, this situation in the middle of the night is really inappropriate. If someone finds out about this, then my reputation will be ruined …"

"Hmph, reputation? Now you remember your reputation. " He humphed slightly, interrupting her words coldly. Not only did he not let go of her waist, he even tightened his grip.

"Are you discussing your reputation with This King now? Is it too late? " His voice suddenly became heavy, and seemed to have some other emotion. As he spoke, his other hand suddenly lifted upwards.

Looking at the angle of his hand...

Sensing his movements, Tang Ke Xin was suddenly shocked. What, what was he trying to do in the middle of the night? What did he mean by saying it too late?
