A servant girl wanted to pour wine for him, so the man raised his hand to signal her to come over.
"There's no need, This King does not drink."
The empress's eyes moved slightly, but she still remained seated quietly in her original position, not saying a word …
The old emperor glanced at him. "Why don't you take a sip or two, but are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
The man held the teacup in his hand as he replied carelessly.
"If there's someone who doesn't want to drink it, even if they do, their body will still feel uncomfortable, so they don't want to touch it."
The old emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise.
However, the eyes of Marquis Anping, who sat opposite to the old Emperor, slightly darkened.
The empress laughed. "Lao Jiu is a person with a wife now, so you should listen to her advice. Drink wine and hurt your spirit.
These coquettish words caused the old emperor to laugh out loud.
"All of you ladies are in trouble. Alright, then let us drink less today."
The Queen pursed her lips in delight.
Without changing the color in Su Nanxing's eyes, he looked towards the spot where Lin Xuecha was sitting before.
Still no one.
His eyes moved, and looked at Qian Wu who was beside him.
Qian Wu understood and immediately went forward, awaiting his orders.
The man pondered for a moment. Then, he seemed to have thought of something as he said, "I'll go out for a while. You stay here."
Qian Wu replied, "Yes, Master."
Su Nanxing casually found a reason to head out, no one thought about it, the atmosphere of drinking was still there.
Qian Wu's gaze lightly fell beside Lin Xueyu.
Seeing that the seat beside her was empty, he knew why his master had hurried out of the hall.
Only when the woman in his embrace looked at him dreamily, looking forward to what he wanted and needed, and moved closer to his lips, did he finally react.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he waited for the girl in his arms to finish her seductive red lips. Then, he moved closer to her and carefully savored her words.
However, before the girl in his embrace could come over, the palace maid who knelt on the ground once again wailed loudly as she tugged on the corner of his clothes with even more force.
"Crown Prince, quickly go take a look. There's really someone dead inside Pool, Crown Prince!"
Crown Prince Su Jin's complexion immediately turned green and black, the desire in his heart that was hooked by the girl in his embrace lessened by quite a bit.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the restless woman in his embrace. He put her soft body down and raised his hand towards the back of her neck.
Lin Xuecha immediately became quiet.
She tilted her head and fell into the man's embrace with her eyes closed.
Su Jin reprimanded the palace maid, "What are you screaming about, do you not know about the chaos in the palace?"
The palace maid was sobbing. She was truly flustered. As soon as she saw the figure of a person, she disregarded all etiquette and rushed forward.
Seeing the dead man's panic, she was immediately suppressed. She let go of Su Jin's robes, her hands supporting her on the ground, she kowtowed and admitted her mistake.
"Crown Prince, Crown Prince, this servant was wrong, this servant should not have shouted, please do not punish this servant."
The woman's pleas were loud. The guards who were patrolling the area rushed over as soon as they heard the movement.
Amongst the people who rushed over, there was also a young man in a black robe whose face was as calm as water.
His eyes were cold as he looked over, stopping in Crown Prince Su Jin's arms for a second.
His eyes narrowed as he strode forward and wrapped his arms around the girl's waist.
Crown Prince Su Jin's gaze turned cold, but he did not do anything to resist.
Just as he wanted to say something, the man in front of him had already carried the woman in his arms, turned around, and left with large strides.
The royal guards looked on dumbfoundedly, as if they had not yet reacted to this.
Why is Princess Yuexi in the arms of the crown prince and … The front of his shirt was ajar?!
Crown Prince Su Jin's face was gloomy, he stared at Su Nanxing's leaving figure, the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer.
The cries of the palace maids brought back the different thoughts of the crowd.
The Eastern Palace King ordered coldly.
"Go and take a look at the Pool, and see what exactly has happened!"
Lin Xuecha's eyes were tightly shut, his breathing was normal as well.
However, her face turned even redder.
The redness was a bit strange.
She was carried by the man. Her fair arms hung down, and the veins on the back of her hands bulged, as if they would burst at any moment.
The man hugged her as his steps became faster and faster. In the end, he even activated his Qing Gong and brought her to the nearest pond.
He didn't know how he woke up, but Lin Xuecha felt that his entire body was wet. Cold water was in his ears and on his head, drowning her completely.
She was jolted awake when cold water was poured into her mouth.
She quickly tried to stand up, but someone's reaction was faster than her. They wrapped their arms around her waist and pulled her out of the water.
Lin Xuecha coughed for a long time as she blinked, her long black hair hanging down her face. The bangs on her forehead dripped with water, drop by drop, down her face.
She reached out to touch the droplets of water on her face and took a deep breath.
Her consciousness was still very muddled, but she had regained some clarity.
The veins on his forehead, arms, and neck were slowly returning to normal.
She cast a sidelong glance at Ni and was a little confused.
Someone accompanied her, dropping into the water to soak in cold water.
That person's expression was very tense, as if he was suppressing something. However, from his gloomy gaze, it didn't seem to be a good thing.
Lin Xuecha's body was still very hot, the heat flowing through her body had not faded, it was just that when she was immersed in the cold water, the pain in her body had lessened slightly.
"Your Highness …"
She spoke in a hoarse voice. Just as she called out that person's name, her lips suddenly pressed together, and that person's lips had already covered up.
The man's long fingers passed through her wet hair and firmly latched onto the back of her head, pressing her body against him.
He bit her lips out of control, so fiercely that he seemed to swallow her whole life.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing.
His movements were big, as if he was punishing her.
The man's hand, which was originally on her waist, suddenly lifted up and unrestrainedly reached into her loose clothes.
The kiss fell bit by bit, leaving a warm, warm, warm, and ambiguous mark on her body.
The heat wave in his body started to burn once more. It was even more frenzied and difficult to control than before.
Lin Xuecha could not help but groan as his gaze blurred once again.
The man tensed up and stopped moving.
He lowered his head and calmed down for a moment. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, dripping onto the surface of the water.
The man's gaze focused on the red mark on the woman's neck and his eyes darkened.
After that, he gently and gently covered her lips once more. He circulated his inner force and dispersed the heat from within her body.
The two of them floated on the surface of the water together. This time, when the heat wave in her body dissolved, Su Nanxing could clearly feel that it took a long time.
He slightly creased his brow. Only when the woman in his embrace calmed down and her breathing calmed down did he retract his cultivation.
His face was pale, and the blood had drained from his lips.
The young woman's petite and soft body gently fell into his embrace.
The night grew quieter.
The man randomly sent a palace maid over to Imperial Concubine Qing's side and called a palace maid over.
That maidservant's name was Minshu. Because of her seniority, she was also a popular person by Imperial Concubine Qing's side. That was why all the people in the palace called her Aunt Min.
She recognized Su Nanxing, and was about to bow, when she heard the man's clear and cold voice.
"Sorry for the trouble, Auntie. Please bring a set of female clothes over."
Aunt Min looked at Su Nanxing in astonishment.
Seeing that his face was unaffected, she wanted to look behind him, but after thinking for a bit and feeling that it was inappropriate, she lowered her head again.
He replied respectfully and left after bowing.
Not long later.
Aunt Min handed him the clothes of a clean woman.
There were still drops of water on the man's body. His handsome face was cold and emotionless.
The man seemed to be deep in thought for a while before he finally took the clothes from his allergic aunt.
"Aunty, thank you. You can leave for now."
Min's aunt blessed herself, but she did not go away immediately.
She looked at him, lowered her eyes, and stopped.
The man calmly looked at her and asked, "Auntie, do you still have something to say?"
Aunt Min hesitated for a moment before she spoke.
"Your Highness, Princess Yuexi seems to have gotten into a murder case. Everyone in the palace is looking for the princess, even Empress Dowager has come out to investigate. If you see her, you can let her know, and this old servant will take his leave."
"Aunt, wait a moment."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly. "Aunt said, when was it? Who was killed? Where?"
Aunt Min's face was solemn as she responded respectfully.
It is just that I know that the Old Nanny was murdered in the palace and then thrown into the lake. As for why she was involved with the Princess Yuexi, it is rumored that the Princess Yuexi was at the place where the Pool were located at that time, and there are already witnesses there to prove that the Emperor was furious. Now, he is only waiting for the Princess Yuexi to appear and confront him face to face. "
Finally, Aunt Min seemed to recall something as she added.
It was said that she and Princess Yuexi's mother had many disputes in the past, and Empress was very fond of the princess' mother. Thus, she found a random reason to demean the Old Nanny to being a palace maid in the Raccoon Department.
Afterwards, the princess' mother begged the Empress for mercy and transferred her back to the palace to serve her. The Empress also obeyed her, but the two of them continued to run errands for each other until the princess' mother married out of the palace.
The man was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke.
"Su Nanxing understands. Thank you for your reminder, Aunt."
Min saluted him, bowed, and backed out of the pool.
The man turned and walked into the pool.
The woman lay motionless by the pool.
Her face had returned to normal, and her eyes were tightly shut.
However, half of her clothes had faded away, revealing half of her naked skin which was still stained with spots and spots. This made the man's eyes darken all of a sudden.
He paused.
Then, the man slowly crouched down and opened her belt. He took off her clothes one by one.
He helped her up and gave her a clean set of clothes.
Just as his eyes were lowered, and he was helping her tie her belt and straighten her clothes, Lin Xuecha woke up from his slumber.
