The deep kiss finally came to an end. Yan Xijun's face was flushed with shyness as she leaned into Chu Chengming's arms. At this moment, wave after wave of happy feelings rose up in her heart.
She couldn't deny it, she really liked him.
Chu Cheng Mo wrapped his arms around her, gently touched the tip of her delicate nose and smiled happily: "Jun Er, I know you have me in your heart too. As long as you're willing to let go of the knot in your heart, we can be together and be very happy."
Yan Xijun's slender fingers played with the jade pendant at her waist, silently and without a word.
"My lord, don't think so much anymore. Follow me out of the palace. Alright?" Chu Cheng Ming pleaded sorrowfully.
Yan Xijun gazed into his sincere eyes, pondered for a moment before nodding. "Alright."
"That's great!" Chu Cheng Ming couldn't help but cheer and jump up and down. She had finally agreed with herself.
"But," Yan Xijun said, "not tonight. Let's go out of the palace another day. I haven't told Xuelian and Wenqin yet."
"Alright then. Three days later, I will come back to pick you up."
"Uh-huh."
He heard her promise with his own ears. Chu Chengmo smiled very happily and tightly wrapped her in his arms. Solemnly promised: "Jun'er, you chose me, I will take you out of the palace later, and I will not let you down."
The soft moonlight gently spilled on the embracing couple under the 'flower' tree. The surroundings were very quiet at night, so quiet that only their faint breathing could be heard.
The two of them were too happy in their hearts, so they relaxed their vigilance. Neither of them noticed when the two people came to the gate of the courtyard.
Chu Yixuan, dressed in a bright yellow casual outfit, had just stepped into the courtyard when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His hands, hidden in his sleeves, were clenched into fists. A pair of dark eyes instantly turned cold and gloomy. His face also became somber. He tightly pursed his lips, staring intently at the embracing couple not far away.
"Your Majesty." Luo Zhong, who was following closely behind him, saw his master suddenly stop and couldn't help but ask in a puzzled tone. When Luo Zhong poked his head out to look in the direction of his master's gaze, he too was startled when he saw the two people under the flower tree. The bright moonlight shone on the two people, and although he had slightly blurry eyesight, he still recognized the woman at a glance. Wasn't this the De Fei Empress Dowager from Gan Quan Palace?
This is outrageous. He was shocked and furious. The Empress Dowager actually dared to hug a strange man at night, not keeping the 'woman's way'. Her courage is quite big.
He secretly took a glance at the cold and stern face of his master, then quietly looked at the two people embracing in the distance. Only then did he carefully ask: "Your Majesty...this..."
This makes it difficult for people to handle. Luo Zhong was also hesitant in his heart and had no choice but to ask the master's intention.
Chu stood quietly in the silence.
Lu Zhong saw that he couldn't get the master's instructions, so he secretly sighed in his heart and had no choice but to steel himself and step forward, clearing his throat, just about to shout at the two men.
Chu Yixuan suddenly raised his hand to stop Luo Zhong from speaking, his handsome face sinking into a gloomy expression. Then he strode towards the two people with large steps.
Luo Zhong had no choice but to hurry after her. He thought to himself: "This time, Empress De has committed a great taboo."
The two embracing each other did not notice the arrival of danger at all. Chu Chengming put his head on her shoulder, rubbing against her shoulder, smelling the fragrance of her hair, and said comfortably: "Jun'er, I really want to take you away from the palace tonight. If you stay here for another day, I will be especially worried."
Yan Xijun smiled slightly, just about to open his mouth to comfort him, but was startled by another cold voice.
"Daring rogue! You think you can take away My beloved empress? What do you think the Imperial Palace is?"
That one sound made both of them raise their heads at the same time, and they looked towards the source of the sound. When Yan Xikun saw Chu Yixuan emitting a cold aura, she instinctively pushed away Chu Chengming who was hugging her.
Unprepared, Chu Cheng was pushed away by her first. He didn't know what he was thinking tonight. Accidentally, he hugged her again and even provocatively stared at Chu Yixuan in front of him.
"Let go quickly! You hurry and escape!" Yan Xijun anxiously whispered in his ear.
She caught a glimpse of Chu Yixuan's displeased expression and quickly used both hands to try and break free from Chu Chengming's embrace.
Yan Xijun's heart was filled with anxiety. Chu Chengming, why are you so muddled at this moment? Hurry up and escape! What if we're caught by the Emperor?
Chu Yixuan saw the stranger in front of him daring to put his arm around "his" woman, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger rising from his heart. With a swift swing of his large hand, he launched a palm attack at him. Turning his hand over with the momentum, he pulled Yan Xijun into his arms.
"Your Majesty." Yan Xijun knew she was in the wrong, hanging her head low and calling out softly. She was helpless as he pulled her into his arms. Her heart resisted strongly, her small hands pushing against him.
Chu Cheng Ming saw him, and without saying a word, he swung his palm over. The urgent palm wind even lifted up the white robes on him. He hastily retreated a step back, dodging to the side.
"You scoundrel! How dare you flirt with other men behind My back? You're really asking for a beating."
Chu Yixuan saw her trying to push him away, a flame of anger rising in his heart, and he uttered ruthless words as he pulled her closer, his single hand grasping her slender waist even tighter.
When she heard his hurtful words, Yan Xijun suddenly looked up and frowned at him. Seeing that his eyes were like flames burning with a fiery red color, the gaze seemed to be able to kill people. She was so scared that she was momentarily stunned, unable to utter a word to refute what he said.
"Hey, don't be afraid of him. I'm here." Chu Chengming saw Yan Xikun's fearful nestle into Chu Yixuan's arms and hurriedly spoke out to comfort her.
Why is he so stupid? There was such a good plan, why didn't they escape? Yan Xijun sighed helplessly in her heart, worried about Chu Chengming's situation.
Chu Yixuan let out a cold hum, his eyes icy and stern. He turned to Chu Chengming and asked in a severe tone, "Who are you?"
Look at his five features, beautiful and handsome. His face is like 'jade'. Although his complexion is a bit pale, it can't stop his handsome appearance. Chu Yixuan couldn't help but feel that the more he looked at this person, the more familiar he seemed, but he just couldn't think of who he was.
At these words, Chu Cheng's face turned cold and he sneered: "Don't you think I resemble a certain someone?"
He said that, which further deepened Chu Yixuan's confusion. He instinctively felt that the person in front of him was not simple. Thinking of this, a chill crept into his eyes and he said: "If you don't tell me who you are, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"Hahaha." Chu Cheng Ming heard his threatening words, but instead of getting angry, he burst out laughing wildly.
"Haha. I'm telling you, Royal Uncle. In these ten years, have you ever been polite to me?"
Huang Shu, he called himself Huang Shu. Who is he? Is he one of the sons of those Wang brothers? Chu Yixuan looked at him in surprise, but his mind was constantly thinking, which of the Wang brothers' son is he?
"Ah......" Yan Xikun's anxious voice rang out. He looked at Chu Chengming with concern. What was the point of revealing his identity at this sensitive moment? Did he want to die?
After receiving her concerned gaze, Chu Chengming smiled reassuringly at her with a relieved smile. He had figured it out. He didn't want to be a shrinking turtle anymore. Tonight, he was going to clarify everything with him.
