knew that once she looked, the seeds of doubt would be sown here.But he couldn't help but recall Xie Wenqiu's absent-minded state these past few days, and his heart felt uncertain.The sound of water...! No Ads!

The Emperor had never felt like he was attracted to men, but the young man before him was more beautiful than any woman. He hadn't tasted a man before.

But day and night, it was the other person's figure everywhere, which made me feel a little restless. So I used an excuse to send the Crown Prince out of the palace and called him over.

"Rise, there is no need to be so distant with me. After all, you will be my daughter-in-law soon."

The Emperor spoke in a gentle tone, but his gaze never left the man for a moment.

Ning Shu, upon hearing this, got up.

Just at this moment, the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at the red mark on the young man's neck, having been pampered by the harem for so many years, he naturally understood what it meant.

The smile on his face gradually faded.

When he had seen the man in the hunting ground before, his favored father-in-law noticed the emperor's thoughts and whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, this young master is still a greenhorn."

Although the emperor said in his heart that he was unmoved, it was false. How could such a beautiful person remain untouched by his own son

How could this not excite people.

The emperor thought that the prince was considerate of people, but he didn't expect that after being by his side for so long, he still wouldn't take a bite. Since this fifth son of his wouldn't eat it, let him be.

Thus, when the prince proposed this marriage.

The emperor feigned some struggle before agreeing, but in reality, he was overjoyed. After all, if the crown prince died, the crown princess would naturally be buried with him.

At that time, he had someone switch the young man with another and then raise him in his own palace. Wouldn't that be a beautiful thing

Only the Emperor doesn't know, that now upon their meeting again, Ning Shu has already been deflowered by the Crown Prince.

No wonder he found the other person's aura had become much more alluring and intoxicating, having been nurtured day and night by the prince these past few days.

When the emperor thought of this, he couldn't help but feel some anger in his heart.

But he also knew that this young man was now his son's crown prince, a promise he had made with his own mouth.

Ning Shu had always been perceptive; he keenly sensed the shift in the palace atmosphere, especially the Emperor's fluctuating countenance. He felt uneasy and couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty, what does a servant like me have that could warrant your attention"

The Emperor's expression finally changed.

Well, it's been used anyway. Though he wasn't happy that the Crown Prince got there first, he wasn't someone who gave up easily. After all, the person in front of him was undeniably alluring.

He's getting tired of the women in his harem, wants to try something different.

"I was just curious why the Crown Prince was so enamored with you. Now that I see you, I understand much better."

The Emperor said, "I only called you here to have a chat. There's no need to be nervous."

Ning Shu wasn't nervous, he just felt that the current emperor's gaze was a bit uncomfortable. It inexplicably reminded him of Li Huai De from back then, but Li Huai De from back then had those feelings for him.

And now, Your Majesty has reached this age, with countless concubines in the harem.

He only thought that the emperor was looking at him because he was a man, so he suppressed the feeling in his heart.

The emperor then asked him some more questions and said a few things to him.

Then he said, “Let us have our meal here today.”

Ning Shu wanted to refuse, he thought about whether the prince would return to the East Palace now, a little absent-minded.

But fate is hard to defy, he had to agree.

The emperor was pleased, rose to his feet, and was about to seize his hand.

Ning Shu was somewhat stunned, because the other party was not the prince. He subconsciously dodged, and when he saw the emperor's displeased expression, he realized what he had done.

So he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your servant knows his mistake, please forgive him, Your Majesty."

The emperor gazed at his graceful physique, and that fair, delicate neck. His skin was so white and youthful, nowhere near as good as Tangfei's now. He greedily looked towards the slender waist of the man before him.

Feigning profundity, one extends one's hand to lift another up.

And just at that moment, a small cry of surprise came from outside: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Then, the door was flung open in an instant.

The Crown Prince stood outside the door, those peach blossom eyes looking over, his tone was cold as he said: "Father, what are you doing"

The emperor withdrew his hand and said, unperturbed, "Shouldn't the Crown Prince be at the Governor's Mansion this hour"

When Ning Shu saw the prince, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He quickly got up and leaned over as if he had found support.

"Your Highness."

The Crown Prince pulled her closer, then said in a melodious voice, "I was just thinking, since I've newly appointed my Imperial Consort, shouldn't we take her back to Jingzhou for a visit It would be good to see my father-in-law."

He merely said so, but there was no smile in his eyes. However, a murderous aura surrounded him.

The old man outside the door immediately surrounded them with people, rushing and exclaiming: "Your Majesty!"

The Emperor waved his hand, his expression unreadable, and said, "Step down. Since the Crown Prince wants to take his Consort back home, then I shall find someone else to handle the duties in his place."

Once the Crown Prince and his entourage had left.

The old man was deeply shaken. The prince had a bloody aura about him just now, like a madman. He showed no respect to the emperor whatsoever, acting so recklessly and trampling on his imperial majesty.

Even now, his heart pounded: "Your Majesty, the Prince is far too arrogant, he doesn't even put you in his eyes!"

"Such a great landscape, is it really going to be handed over to the prince's hands" The eunuch said with lingering fear: "In my opinion, the prince...he might have other intentions one day...."

The Emperor, however, slowly said: "... Forget it, the Crown Prince is young and inexperienced. I feel guilty towards his mother."

He looked at the place where the prince had left, seeming to be a little sentimental: “In a blink of an eye, 18 years have passed. The prince's birthday is coming soon, and I feel a little reluctant for a moment.”

While his eyes seemed full of benevolence, the emperor’s heart was cold and calculating. The very thought of attaining immortality filled him with fear.

"Please summon the Grand Tutor this afternoon."

Then he called the servants below, to go outside the palace and find a few clean and handsome men, and secretly send them to his palace tonight.

He can't touch the crown princess now, so he might as well find other men to satisfy his desires.

......

Ning Shu was tightly held in the prince's hands. As soon as they returned to the palace, he coldly ordered all the attendants in the Prince’s Hall to leave.

The servants below saw his expression and knew that the Crown Prince was about to replace them again.

"Did he do anything to you"

The prince's eyes were cold and sharp as he held him, his fingers tracing along his waist. "Did you touch this"

"Here's another one."

Ning Shu was touched by the prince several times, and she jumped in fright. She hurriedly said, "Your Majesty didn't do anything to me...."

He saw the prince's expression, colder than ever before, his eyes dark and unpleasant.

For a moment, I felt a bit uneasy, then sitting in his embrace, I said, "...The Emperor told me some things. He wanted to help me up, but I dodged him."

But Ning Shu still felt uncomfortable.

The prince, upon hearing this, took him into his arms and squeezed him gently. Then, in a low voice in his ear, he murmured, "I will kill him. I definitely will."t of strangeness.But he didn't think too much about it, seeing that the young man had misunderstood, he couldn't help but chuckle and say: "Where did you get that idea She is several years younger tha...
