Whatever thoughts Xiao Yuanzhao had, he was defeated by the words "Chungong Tu". He wanted to seriously think about Chu Xiang's danger, but he couldn't be serious anymore. He angrily pulled Chu Xiang into his arms and kissed her until she couldn't breathe. Only then did he let her go back to the couch to continue reading. He also finished the rest of the memorials.
However, the scene of him and Chu Xiang being intimate on the bed kept appearing in his mind. It made his mouth dry and he didn't know how many cups of tea he drank. This caused Liang Zhong to look at him many times, worried that he was not feeling well.
Finally, he finished reading the memorials. He was just about to go to the palace with Chu Xiang when the people who went to the Qi family to search the property returned to the palace to report. At the same time, the Prince Regent, Minister Chu, and several officials entered the palace to ask for an audience, interrupting his good deed.
The Prince Regent walked into the imperial study without being announced. Xiao Yuanzhao's face darkened and looked at him coldly. He said unhappily, "Imperial Uncle is becoming more and more unruly."
The Prince Regent was startled. He narrowed his eyes and stared at him. He snorted, "The Emperor is becoming more and more impressive. He doesn't have any respect for his elders. How can he set an example for the servants?" He saw Chu Xiang who just stood up beside the couch and sneered, "In the Emperor's eyes, is the imperial study a place to play with the imperial concubines? Even if the Emperor likes to add incense to his sleeves, this is too absurd! "
"The Prince Regent has been moody recently and has lost his cool." Minister Chu stepped forward and glanced at the Prince Regent. He said lightly, "The Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort were assassinated together. They must have been frightened. Why can't they be together? This dynasty doesn't strictly prohibit the imperial concubines from entering the imperial study. We entered the palace to care about the Emperor's safety and to find out the inside story of the assassination. We hope that the Prince Regent won't lose his sense of propriety. "
The Prince Regent had a splitting headache and couldn't control his temper. He glared at Minister Chu and shouted, "Who do you think you are? You dare to lecture me? Guards! Take him out and whip him fifty times! "
"Emperor, the Prince Regent's actions are clearly looking down on you. Chenqie thinks that he should be punished the most!" Chu Xiang walked to Xiao Yuanzhao's side and pulled his arm. She glared at the Prince Regent with dissatisfaction.
The ministers looked at her in astonishment. She was just a favored concubine. She usually didn't do much. They didn't care when her father and brother were promoted and gained the Emperor's favor. They never thought that she would dare to interrupt in this kind of situation and even have the guts to punish the Regent.
Even Minister Chu was worried for her. He planned to plead for her immediately if something went wrong.
Who would have thought that Xiao Yuanzhao agreed and said, "The Regent is punishing Zhen's officials in front of Zhen, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that the Regent is dissatisfied with me and wants to exercise the power of the Emperor on my behalf? "
These words were too heart-rending. The ministers all knelt down and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please calm down." They all regretted entering the palace today.
Only the Prince Regent was still standing there. His expression was already cold as he looked at Xiao Yuanzhao gloomily. "Your Majesty seems to be implying something. Is it that you can't tolerate me anymore?"
Xiao Yuanzhao had one hand behind his back while the other hand was casually placed on the imperial table. His fingers tapped lightly as he said in a rather dignified manner, "This is already the second time Imperial Concubine Xi has tried to assassinate me. I'm sure Prince Regent is very clear about who instigated her. I'm sure Prince Regent is also very clear about why the Qi family committed those crimes. Counting the assassination in the hunting ground, Prince Regent can't wait to take Zhen's life. "
The Prince Regent's pupils suddenly shrank. His hands in his wide sleeves clenched into fists defensively. The other ministers were already shocked and silent. They did not dare to make any sound. They realized that the Emperor was going to get rid of the Prince Regent. If what the Emperor said was true, then the Prince Regent had sent people to assassinate him three times. He could no longer tolerate the Emperor. The outcome of their game was about to be decided. As for the ministers, they were afraid that if they were not careful, their entire family would be wiped out. Everyone became nervous and did not dare to breathe loudly.
The Prince Regent's headache was too severe. He could not keep calm at all. He felt a strong sense of crisis and ordered the guards to protect him first. However, after he shouted twice, he found that no one inside or outside the imperial study room moved. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and looked around in surprise. Only then did he find that in the short two days that he did not pay attention to the palace, none of the people he had planted around the Emperor were left!
Xiao Yuanzhao did not say much. He waved his hand and Chu Ze, who was at the door, rushed to the Prince Regent with the secret guards. He coldly looked at the Prince Regent's crazy counterattack and fought fiercely with them. He protected Chu Xiang and brought her to a safe place. In just a moment, the Prince Regent was defeated. He was knocked on the back of his neck by Chu Ze with the hilt of his sword. He fainted softly on the ground and could not scold anymore.
Xiao Yuanzhao looked at him from afar. He had an unclear feeling. Originally, according to his plan, it would take at least two months to take down the Prince Regent. It was Chu Xiang who helped him secretly. He also heard Chu Xiang's voice and cooperated with Chu Xiang to shorten the time.
The Prince Regent fell just like that. He did not lose a single soldier. It was much simpler than the bloody scene he had expected. Even because of the Prince Regent's constant headache and lack of rest, his strength was weakened when he fought. He could not even kill a single secret guard and was knocked unconscious.
Chu Xiang deserved the credit for taking down the Prince Regent so easily. It was a pity that he could not announce it. He suddenly felt that it was a loss for Chu Xiang to stay in the palace with him.
He could not help but turn his head to look at Chu Xiang. He held Chu Xiang's hand tightly.
Chu Xiang smiled at him and said: "Congratulations, Emperor."
He also knew what he wanted to hear. The Emperor was wise and powerful. He would definitely be a famous ruler. The Chu family's loyalty to the Emperor was the best choice.
As expected, Xiao Yuanzhao's expression softened. He ordered the Prince Regent to be put in prison and ordered Chu Ze to search the Prince Regent's residence and arrest everyone related to the assassination.
This was all arranged after he knew that Chu Xiang wanted to frame the Prince Regent. He could not let Chu Xiang go. However, he could take advantage of the situation to frame her. Using Imperial Concubine Xi and the Qi family, he could directly expose the Prince Regent's background.
Fortunately, the Prince Regent was troubled and had a bad temper. He did not have the patience to pay attention to him every day. In the past two days, he had removed all the spies in the palace without being discovered. He also kept an eye on the remaining forces of the Prince Regent. Once the Prince Regent was captured, all the people related to him would be involved. This matter could be wiped out.
Although he was the one who set the charges, none of them were innocent. At most, this action would just change the name of arresting them.
Chu Ze accepted the order and left. Chu Xiang also proposed to return to Taihe Palace first.
After such a big thing happened, Xiao Yuanzhao would probably discuss with the ministers late into the night. It was not suitable for her to stay in the imperial study. It was also very boring.
However, Xiao Yuanzhao was not at ease to let her return to Taihe Palace. He always felt that she would run away at any time when she left his sight. He thought for a while and coaxed Chu Xiang to go to his palace. He also called a few secret guards to protect her.
Chu Xiang agreed with a smile. She did not feel unhappy at all. Only then did Xiao Yuanzhao feel relieved. He felt that she might really not want to leave the palace and concentrate on dealing with the business with the ministers.
Chu Xiang took a tour around Xiao Yuanzhao's sleeping quarters, then went to sleep on the dragon bed. Now that the Emperor was so fun, she did not want to leave the palace. Naturally, she did not care about the secret guards who were watching her.
Xiao Yuanzhao came back very late. After asking the palace servants, he knew that Chu Xiang was sleeping. His heart softened a little. When he walked to the dragon bed and saw Chu Xiang, who looked much gentler after sleeping, he felt that his tiredness disappeared.
He thought that Imperial Concubine Xi was probably right. He was attracted to Chu Xiang. An Imperial Noble Consort who was two-faced and better at acting than him. She was also the only woman who did not have any intentions towards him and did not want to get anything from him.
Xiao Yuanzhao lowered his head and helped Chu Xiang tidy up the loose hair by her cheeks. Chu Xiang had woken up a long time ago. At this time, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion. Then, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, softly whispering, "Why did you only come back now?"
She was waiting to try out the movements of the erotic pictures, but she had to wait for so long.
Xiao Yuanzhao's ears turned red, but he was not curious about the erotic pictures that she could not forget. Following her strength, he covered her body and waved his hand to order everyone to leave.
He gently kissed the side of Chu Xiang's neck and said by her ear: "Xiang 'er has been married to me for so long, but we have not consummated our marriage. Today, zhen has gotten rid of a big problem and is very happy. Why don't we become true husband and wife today? "
"I'll listen to Emperor." Chu Xiang thought that it would be good if he did not do it at the crucial moment like last time.
This thought was too heart-wrenching. Xiao Yuanzhao's movements paused. Then, he passionately followed Chu Xiang's wishes and became intimate with her. He made her feel comfortable everywhere and did his best to wash away that bad impression from before.
Chu Xiang never knew what it felt like to do this kind of thing when their hearts and minds were connected. She knew this time. The main reason was that Xiao Yuanzhao understood her heart and knew how to please her at all times. Then this kind of thing between the bed and the mattress naturally caused people to be endlessly addicted. It was too wonderful for words.
The movements in the bedroom only stopped after midnight. Liang Zhong stood guard outside and was happy for his master from the bottom of his heart. He still remembered that when the imperial gui fei was not able to serve him in bed, the Emperor came back with a dark face and dirtied the bedding at night.
Now that the Emperor and imperial gui fei had consummated their marriage, the Emperor had truly grown up, Liang Zhong was very gratified.
Originally, he thought that after the imperial gui fei served him in bed, she would definitely be sent back to Taihe Palace. He did not expect that after calling for water, the Emperor would have the imperial gui fei stay to sleep with him. Letting a concubine spend the night in the Emperor's bedroom, this had never happened before.
But no one went to speak the truth. Everyone silently warned themselves not to offend the imperial gui fei. This was the person that the Emperor really doted on the most. No one could offend her.
Chu Xiang laid in Xiao Yuanzhao's arms and hugged him. She did not care about the rules of sleeping separately in the palace at all. She even purposely thought that since she was so happy with the Emperor, she should just stay. If she was the Emperor, she would definitely only take him as her imperial husband and not accept any other person into the palace.
Xiao Yuanzhao opened his eyes and turned his head to look at her, feeling both angry and amused. Then he heard that in her heart, as long as he did not touch other women and treated her well, she would not leave and grow old hand in hand with him.
Xiao Yuanzhao's lips unconsciously curled. It was the first time he felt that the words "grow old hand in hand" were so moving. He held Chu Xiang tightly in his arms and gently kissed the space between her brows. He silently thought about how to realize the matter of not having a harem.
Unknowingly, he had already accepted her request. She didn't even say it out loud. But at this time, he was holding Chu Xiang and felt that it was as sweet as syrup.
Every emperor was lonely at the top. It was hard to find someone who understood them and it was even harder to spend the rest of their life with their sweetheart. How lucky was he to be able to sit on the country and be in love with his sweetheart. Maybe when he was in a life and death situation, the Heavens had given him the ability to read minds so that he could distinguish between loyalty and treachery and cherish everything by his side.
