The prince is very fierce

Squeak——

The door of the dormitory room was gently pushed open, and the Jiujie Empress in palace clothes walked in. She glanced cautiously. The other secret guards were waiting outside the room, ready to rush in at any time.

It was too late for the Queen Mother to say anything at this time. If Xu Buling was seen lying on her bed, she had not yet put on her clothes. No matter what the reason, the reputation of being unchaste would definitely be carried on her, the Huainan Xiao family, and the current Holy Emperor. But I can't afford to lose this person.

The Queen Mother forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart, made a somewhat lazy expression, and slightly raised her head:

"Ajiu, why are you here?"

The Nine Festival Empress was a concubine who was brought into the palace by the late Emperor. Although she was older, her status was lower than that of the Queen Mother. After scanning the room, she bowed slightly and said:

"The queen mother is not asleep yet?"

"Same as before, I can't sleep at night."

"Oh... did the Queen Mother hear anything just now?"

"What's the matter?"

"...It's nothing. There is a thief in the palace and we are hunting..."

While the Jiujie Empress was speaking, she kept scanning every corner of the room, even behind the screen. After making sure there was nothing unusual, she said softly:

"Your Majesty, please rest early. I will take my leave."

The Queen Mother leaned on the pillow and rubbed her eyes: "The weather is a bit cold, so I won't send you off. Please walk slowly."

"yes."

Squeak——

The door to the room was closed again, and voices of conversation could be heard outside. The secret guards continued to chase east, leaving only two people guarding the door of the room to ensure the safety of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was lying on her side on the pillow. At this moment, her cheeks were burning, and her whole body was shaking. She was about to whisper something, but her mouth was covered.

"Sh-there's someone outside..."

Soft words rang in his ears, and he felt as warm as being hugged by a stove.

The Queen Mother almost stopped breathing, clutching her hands under the quilt tightly, arching her insteps, trying to get further away, but she couldn't muster the strength.

She was prone to sweating, and the golden silk quilt, a tribute from Jiangnan, was very effective in keeping warm. However, within a short time, most of her tight-fitting thin pants and bellyband were soaked with sweat, and she felt like every time she blinked she was suffering.

The Queen Mother felt so uncomfortable, and Xu Bu Ling was naturally not much better. There were dangers outside, her arms were very hot, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

In order to hide his figure, Xu Bu Ling buried his head in the quilt, with the tip of his nose pressed against the Queen Mother's shoulder. The faint and greasy fragrance hit his nostrils. He forced himself to concentrate on listening to the movement outside the window, not paying attention to the red and pink skull in his arms.

But...it's really too big...

Breathe...breathe...breathe...breathe...

The two of them hid in the quilt and endured it for half an hour. It was not until Xu Bu Ling's energy and blood were disordered that he was about to die from the poison, and the two secret guards outside left.

After waiting for a while and making sure that no one was around, Xu Buling let go of the Queen Mother and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her body was being hollowed out.

The Queen Mother exhaled and Rulan's body trembled slightly. After a while, she turned around, faced Xu Buling, and said in a trembling voice:

"Has anyone left?"

Although the light was dim, one could see that the Queen Mother's face, which used to be bright and charming, turned blood red.

Their eyes met, so close.

Xu Buling forced himself to calm down: "Let's go, thank you... shush shush - don't mess around..."

The Queen Mother's eyes were about to burst into flames, she bared her teeth and claws, and raised her foot to kick Xu Buling's vitals:

"Don't go down yet! I...I..."

I have been waiting for a long time, but I don't know how to treat Xu Buling. After all, she is like a fish on the chopping board, and she can't protect herself.

Xu Buring was very embarrassed. He stood up dejectedly like a man who was not doing well, and was about to leave as soon as he landed.

"Wait! Don't leave!"

The Queen Mother had suffered such a big loss, so she was not willing to let Xu Buling run away like this. She sat up and wrapped her gourd-like figure tightly with a gold quilt, showing a bit of her former majesty and dignity, and said in a cold voice road:

"What's going on tonight?"

The words were very serious, but it was difficult to hide the trembling and fatigue in his voice. After all, enduring for half an hour consumes a lot of energy.

Xu Buling turned his back to the Queen Mother and thought for a while:

"Private matters... I really offended the Queen Mother tonight, um..."

"Did you go to Tai Chi Palace?"

The Queen Mother gathered her thoughts for a moment, then her brows furrowed: "Ajiu has been staying in the Taiji Palace to protect the Saint for many years. What are you doing in the Taiji Palace?"

Seeing that Xu Buling had been discovered, he couldn't pretend anymore and thought about it for a while:

"I have been infected with the Dragon Lock Gu for a short time. Should the Queen Mother know?"

"Of course I know that the imperial court has been investigating this matter..."

"I heard from a wandering warlock that there was Dragon Lock Gu in the inner vault, so I wanted to go in and have a look..."

"..."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then she was a little astonished:

"Do you suspect that the imperial court is poisoning you?"

Although Xu Buling knew it well, he couldn't say it clearly in front of the Queen Mother. He just said casually:

"I'm going to die soon, and I'm desperate. If I have any news, I have to go and check it out."

"Nonsense."

The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed, her expression became more serious, she even put aside her charm just now, and said seriously:

"Xiliang has two hundred thousand soldiers, and there are a lot of rumors in the world. If you believe the rumors and doubt the Holy One, you will drag the entire world into the war. Do you know what the crime of sneaking into Taiji Palace tonight is? Go there. It’s okay to talk about the vassal king’s rebellion..."

"What the Queen Mother has taught you is that she will never come again in the future."

The Queen Mother pursed her lips, and after a long moment, she sighed softly:

"Xu Buling, I know that you became famous at a young age and suffered a sudden disaster. You have always been angry, as can be seen from the poem last time. But you should think twice before doing anything. If the emperor knows about what happened today, the relationship between the emperor and Prince Su will be completely severed."

Xu Buling nodded: "Ling'er knows his mistake. It's late at night. The queen mother should go to bed early. I'll take my leave first." Then he prepared to run away.

But the queen mother was not stupid. Seeing Xu Buling pull up his pants and don't recognize him, she frowned and said coldly:

"Wait, let's not talk about you entering the palace privately. You just... just offended me, how should this be settled?"

Xu Buling's old face blushed: "Well... accident, the queen mother, don't take it to heart."

Accident? Don't take it to heart?

The Queen Mother was full of anger. She had just been held for half an hour, and basically all the places that could be touched and couldn't be touched were touched. But this matter was still a loss for her. She didn't dare to speak out even if she had a hundred courages. How could she not take it to heart?

"Tell me, what should we do?"

What can Xu Buling do? He can't let the Queen Mother remarry and become the emperor's stepfather. He can only vaguely say:

"Well... nothing happened just now..."

The Queen Mother saw that Xu Buling wanted to deny it, and her voice became heavier:

"Do you think I'm easy to bully? Do you believe me? I will tell you about this..."

But before she finished speaking, the Queen Mother saw Xu Buling frowning and turning around, walking to the phoenix bed and sitting down, looking at her seriously.

The Queen Mother stopped talking abruptly, her neck obviously shrank, and she pulled the quilt tighter, but she immediately became serious again, like an elder staring at a younger generation, with a strong momentum.

"You are so bold, turn around."

Xu Buling looked at the somewhat panicking queen mother, and said helplessly: "I feel guilty first, but this matter is really forced, how about you slap me twice?"

"... What's the use of slapping you twice..."

The queen mother's eyes were full of changes - a woman's loss of chastity is not a trivial matter, she will definitely not suffer a loss and commit suicide for this, but it is impossible to drag Xu Buling out and behead him, what if Xu Buling gets angry...

Talking to men in this kind of occasion, women are naturally at a disadvantage. After holding on for a while, the queen mother could only say in a deep voice:

"... You go first... This matter must not be known to a third person, otherwise even the prince Su can't protect you."

"God knows, the earth knows, you know and I know. Queen Mother, don't tell anyone about my entry into the palace, goodbye."

Xu Buling nodded slightly, and was too embarrassed to continue to accompany him in bed, so he got up and flipped out of the window.

The queen mother's face was red and white, and she sat wrapped in the quilt for a long time. After making sure Xu Buling had left, she moved her eyes to the table in the distance, where a little man was placed, carved into a polite nobleman.

"Tsk - I was crazy to carve you, this evil creature... Fortunately, I didn't find it..."

The queen mother gritted her teeth for a moment, and was ready to get up and run over to hide the puppet.

Who would have thought that as soon as she lifted the quilt, she felt a chill in front of her.

Looking down, the lotus hiding the carp disappeared without a trace...

"Ah--"

The queen mother's face flushed, and she quickly shrank back, looking at the window with shock and anger, and a bit of shame and anxiety:

"This damn boy, when... actually... actually dared to threaten me..."

The golden carp embroidery, like the dragon robe and phoenix crown, can only be worn by the queen mother. There is no queen in the imperial city, only her, the queen mother. The taking away of this thing is a threat to her not to make it public...
