Xiao Langyan picked up the quilt on the ground and was about to cover her again, but when he was lifting his boots, he accidentally tripped over her shoes that were thrown on the footrest!
Xiao Langyan groaned, knelt on one knee on the footrest, and with a casual push, the front half of his body was already pressed against Shen Dingzhu's body, and his thin lips accidentally touched her chin.
The sleeping beauty whispered: "Yeah!"
She opened her sleepy and ignorant beautiful eyes, and was briefly panicked. Shen Dingzhu breathed rapidly, but after seeing Xiao Langyan clearly, she gradually calmed down.
The two looked at each other, each looking at a loss.
"Your Highness?" Shen Dingzhu's voice was humming. Through the faint moonlight in the dark room, she could clearly see the posture of him kneeling in front of her, and was a little surprised, "You..."
Xiao Langyan gritted his teeth and was about to throw the quilt on her.
However, Shen Dingzhu asked in a low voice: "Did you just... kiss me?"
Her eyebrows were extremely beautiful, exuding a girlish charm without knowing it. The moonlight in the room was hazy, but it illuminated her beautiful eyes with a long river of brilliance.
Xiao Langyan was startled, his stern face darkened inch by inch, and his eyes seemed like two cold moons burning with fire.
He threw the quilt on the couch and said in a hoarse voice: "Your quilt caused me to fall."
Shen Dingzhu's pink lips slightly rounded, she glanced at the brocade quilt at the end of the bed, feeling a little guilty: "Oh, I kicked off the quilt."
Xiao Langyan grabbed her chin, lowered his thin eyes slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "So, you deserve the punishment. You should bear it well."
The next second, he covered his lips. Shen Dingzhu felt the force of his long-distance thrust, and pushed Xiao Langyan twice uncomfortably at first.
But soon, Shen Dingzhu regained the feeling she had when she served Xiao Langyan.
Their relationship is not close, but they can always be extremely harmonious in certain things.
In his previous life, Xiao Langyan once said that Shen Dingzhu was specially designed to defeat him, but it only worked on the couch.
At this moment, Shen Dingzhu's black hair was scattered on her fair and smooth shoulders. She got on and off him, and the two of them somehow got entangled on the couch.
Xiao Langyan's coat was pulled out by her delicate hands and thrown outside the couch.
The bed curtain fell, and his deep voice came: "Wantless."
Immediately afterwards, Shen Dingzhu's aggrieved tone came: "Then I'm going down."
"Come back." Xiao Langyan suddenly pulled her and she fell back into his chest.
In the hazy moonlight, she can see her long black hair, snow-white skin, pink lips, and slender waist.
All these things seemed to add fuel to Xiao Langyan's heart.
When their clothes were left inside and outside the bed, Shen Dingzhu was pressed on the bed again by him. He pressed her shoulders and bit her earlobe fiercely.
Shen Dingzhu sobbed and begged for mercy, but Xiao Langyan asked: "You are so good at pleasing people, who did you learn from that?"
Her voice was soft: "For the prince, I have studied it privately..."
Xiao Langyan looked sideways at her. The beauty's long eyelashes were trembling, and the dark red at the end of her eyes was very attractive.
"It's best for me. If one day, I find you lying, I will strangle your neck with my own hands." He said, suppressing his arrogant aura.
Shen Dingzhu was about to bear his storm.
suddenly.
There was a rushing sound at the door.
"Your Majesty," it was Xu Shou, "The Emperor vomited blood!"
Xiao Langyan suddenly stopped moving, and the sea of love in his eyes quickly sobered up like the fading tide.
He opened the curtain and picked up his clothes. Shen Dingzhu's small feet quickly followed him and was about to help him get dressed.
Xiao Langyan pushed her back to the couch with a palm: "Lie down and Xu Shou comes in."
Shen Dingzhu quickly tightened the bed curtain. Fortunately, the opaque brocade made it impossible to see the beauty inside even if Xu Shou lit the lamp.
Xu Shou was waiting for Xiao Langyan to dress, but suddenly he wondered: "Strange, where did the prince's belt go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bed curtain opened a small corner, and Shen Dingzhu threw out the belt.
Xiao Langyan grabbed it with his bare hands, glanced at the bed, pressed his thin lips into a happy arc, and tied the belt with his own hands.
Xu Shou watched calmly as his master and Aunt Shen went back and forth.
In the deep cold night, the Qianyuan Hall where the emperor slept was brightly lit, like the eyes of a giant beast in the palace, always bright and staring everywhere.
When Xiao Langyan entered with a cold air on his body, the imperial doctors had already gathered in the outer hall.
What he didn't expect was that the prince Xiao Xuanke came out of the inner hall with a somewhat sloppy expression.
When he saw Xiao Langyan, Xiao Xuanke's eyes were slightly wrong. When he saw the nail scratches on Xiao Langyan's neck, his eyes suddenly darkened in a sinister manner.
"Prince." Xiao Langyan cupped his hands lightly.
Xiao Xuanke laughed: "Fifth brother came just in time. Father is already awake. You can go in and take a look."
With that said, he staggered away. When he passed by Xiao Langyan, he smelled heavily of alcohol.
Xiao Langyan entered the inner hall. The emperor was no longer seriously ill, but his eyes were weak and blurred.
He stretched out his hand, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray.
"Lang Yan, starting from tomorrow, please release the prince's restraint. I am very afraid that when I die one day, I will not have him at my funeral."
Xiao Langyan lowered his head and said in a steady voice: "Everything is subject to Father's arrangements."
His eyes were as dark and cold as an abyss.
After Xiao Langyan left, Shen Dingzhu tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep until almost the third watch.
Early the next morning, I heard from Chunxi that the prince had been lifted from the ban and was back in charge of the affairs of the court. However, he had to take charge of some idle duties, but the emperor had not yet given back the power to supervise the country.
Shen Dingzhu drank the porridge and thought, it's probably going to be over soon.
The emperor always favored his direct descendants.
Because at the beginning, the late emperor thought that the emperor was not good enough because he was a legitimate son, so he doted on the eldest son of the imperial concubine.
Therefore, when the emperor ascended the throne, he suppressed and treated harshly the princes who were not descendants of the queen.
In his heart, no matter how miserable a son-in-law is, he is still better than a concubine.
Therefore, it is only a matter of time before Prince Xiao Xuanke gains power. It depends on how Xiao Langyan deals with it.
Shen Dingzhu knew that Xiao Xuanke was not Xiao Langyan's rival, but Prince Ming, the ninth prince born to Concubine Xian, was.
At this moment, King Ming is still hiding his power and biding his time.
Just after finishing the meal, a line of palace maids came outside the door.
The leading maid said: "Aunt Shen, by order of the Crown Princess, I am here to invite you to the East Palace."
Shen Bi wondered: "Who?"
The eldest maid glanced at her but didn't answer.
Shen Dingzhu remembered that the prince's maid was probably Su Wenhua.
Didn't she say that she should avoid suspicion and not interact openly? Now you are inviting me with great fanfare, are you not afraid anymore?
Shen Dingzhu curled up her hair and said, "Thank you for letting me know. I'll freshen up and go."
However, after Shen Dingzhu followed the eldest palace maid to the East Palace, she walked through flowers and willows and arrived at the back garden of the East Palace.
But he saw a tall figure standing by the sparkling water of the lake.
There was only Xiao Xuanke.
Shen Dingzhu frowned and looked around. Where could there be any sign of Su Wenhua?
She wanted to leave, but Xiao Xuanke turned back before her, with a half-smile in his eyes: "Miss Shen, we meet again."
