"Zhao Jingheng, get out. Your Empress is waiting for you. The Prime Minister's eldest daughter is beautiful, intelligent, and as beautiful as a celestial being. Why are you looking for me?"
Zhao Jingyi said, pushing him out with all her might, but Zhao Jingheng pulled her into his embrace. He pressed down hard on her back, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free.
Zhao Jingheng bit down hard on her neck, then whispered into her ear.
"Little princess, don't you know who I have in my heart? She's nothing but a pawn, and my being here is the best proof."
"Really? Then promise me you won't touch her."
"Of course. I find all other women dirty except you."
"Brother, you must remember this promise. If you deceive me, the consequences will be dire..."
Her voice was slightly hoarse and incredibly seductive. Zhao Jingheng held her even tighter, as if wanting to melt her into his very bones. He leaned in as if to kiss her.
Zhao Jingyi placed her index finger against his lips.
"Don't rush, brother. Who will go entertain my Empress sister-in-law tonight?"
"You crazy girl, I'm doomed to fall into your hands forever. Xiao Liu is over there, just a pawn, don't worry about her."
Zhao Jingyi giggled, her laughter as crisp as the tinkling of silver bells.
"Then let someone else entertain her tomorrow, alright? Brother wouldn't touch a dirty thing that's been with everyone, would he? You're frowning, brother. Are you reluctant?"
"My little enchantress, you can have my life, and I'll give it to you. You can play however you want. How about you personally pick someone tomorrow?"
As he spoke, he began to touch her everywhere. The two of them tumbled together, as inseparable as glue.
Jun Jiuli found it eye-burning and, carrying the dark guard Xiao Liu, smashed down forcefully from the rooftop.
The roof instantly broke with a large hole, and tiles rained down, shattering into pieces on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Due to their illicit relationship, Zhao Jingyi never had anyone guard her chambers at night.
This loud noise completely startled the maids resting in their own rooms. They all got out of bed, put on their shoes and socks, and rushed towards the sound.
The couple was in the midst of their passionate embrace when a corpse suddenly fell from the sky, making them stumble.
If the bed frame hadn't been of good quality and absorbed some of the impact, they would have rolled their eyes and passed out on the spot.
Zhao Jingyi said nervously, "Cough, cough, cough, what happened to brother?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Just lie still."
Zhao Jingheng pulled himself out and discovered it was Xiao Liu's corpse that had fallen on him. Various schemes and plots flashed through his mind.
He still couldn't figure out what was going on. He had investigated everyone accompanying the Empress into the palace, and there was no one with such capabilities. Had he overlooked something?
At that moment, guards patrolling the palace arrived. "Your Highness Princess, may we ask what has happened?"
Zhao Jingheng shook his head at Zhao Jingyi. Zhao Jingyi cleared her throat and said.
"I am fine. The roof just collapsed a small section, and no one was injured. You may all withdraw. I am going to rest, and I will send someone to repair it tomorrow."
After confirming repeatedly, the guards withdrew. The maids could only wait outside. The smarter ones had already realized that Princess Jingyi might be hiding something scandalous from everyone.
"Brother, what do we do now?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Get dressed first. I'll have someone dispose of Xiao Liu's body. I need to go see Xiao Wenxuan to find out how much she knows about what just happened. If it wasn't her, then someone is hiding in the shadows, and the situation is serious. We'll have to proceed with caution from now on."
"Brother, I'm so scared. Can you stay and keep me company?" She said, reaching out to hook her arm around Zhao Jingheng's neck.
Zhao Jingheng kissed her forehead. "Good girl, don't be like this."
Xiao Liu's body had already been carried away by the dark guards.
"I don't know if this roof is still stable. Have the maids boil water and keep it warm. After bathing, you can sleep in a different room tonight. Brother won't be staying with you tonight."
"Brother, don't let your Empress distract you, or I'll find a consort to keep me company."
"If you find one, I'll kill him. Yi'er, you mustn't speak recklessly in the future. You belong only to me. Of course, brother also belongs to you."
"That's good then."
As she spoke, she leaned forward and left a large mark on the back of Zhao Jingheng's neck.
"Hehehe, brother, hurry up and go. Yi'er won't see you off."
Watching Zhao Jingheng's retreating back, the tenderness in Zhao Jingyi's eyes slowly turned into intense possessiveness.
"Hmph, no one can compete with me for brother. Not even legitimacy. Xiao Wenxuan, we'll see."
As Zhao Jingheng emerged, his captain of the dark guards hurried over to report.
"Master, the Empress is still in a deep sleep. Those she brought into the palace show no abnormalities. Our people have been monitoring their every move, and no one discovered Xiao Liu."
"You useless fools! Does Xiao Liu have the ability to turn invisible? Investigate carefully. Someone must not have been paying close enough attention."
"Yes."
"Regarding the Empress, did Xiao Liu succeed?"
"No."
"What use are you to me? Send someone else. Do I have to teach you myself?"
Shui Wa: "This is absolutely disgusting. Isn't this him giving himself a cuckold?"
Jun Jiuli: "A beast worse than an animal. I can't stand this for a single moment."
Zhao Jingheng suddenly felt an intense discomfort all over his body, as if he were being stared at by a dozen wolves.
He shook his head forcefully, casting the thought aside. He was surrounded by skilled individuals; who could possibly do anything to him?
The captain of the dark guards suddenly felt his throat dry. Zhao Jingheng, swaying before him, seemed to be enticing him.
His legs moved forward uncontrollably. He grasped Zhao Jingheng's left hand with his right and began to caress it tenderly.
Zhao Jingheng felt utterly disgusted, goosebumps rising all over him. He tried to shake off the large hand but couldn't break free.
He reprimanded sternly, "Ling Yi, you are insolent. Let go of me at once. Guards, help!"
The dozen or so dark guards surrounding them instantly appeared, forming a circle around the two of them. As they drew closer, Zhao Jingheng finally sensed something was wrong and quickly stopped them.
"Stop, don't come so close to me. Whoever can apprehend Ling Yi will be heavily rewarded by me."
Ling Yi: "My master, you smell so good."
As he spoke, he leaned in. Zhao Jingheng slapped him forcefully across the face.
"You're mad, you're all mad! I am the Son of Heaven. Do not be presumptuous. All of you, go back to the shadows!"
Ling Yi, clutching his face, laughed perversely. "Master's hand is quite strong. Ling Yi wishes to be hit again."
"Pervert, you pervert."
After saying this, he tried to run but was firmly surrounded by the guards.
"Master, you cannot escape. Just yield to us!"
With a wave of his hand, someone covered Zhao Jingheng's mouth with a handkerchief. Four people lifted him, proceeding grandly towards his sleeping quarters.
They were very familiar with this palace and would never let an outsider discover them.
