The Unknown Day I Wanted to Kill Him

After returning to the palace, Chu Ning didn't think much of anything and just fell asleep!

He had been busy all day!

This old man is actually quite interesting.

The knife was at his throat, but he didn't dare kill him, he was just trying to scare him, afraid he would usurp the throne...

But out of consideration for Chu Ning's identity, he only dared to scare him.

What a joke!

He couldn't even scare his wife, let alone him!

A mere old man, could he scare him?

If anything, the ghost-wall trick made Chu Ning's heart skip a beat.

He really thought he had encountered a ghost...

After all, the Imperial Palace was full of stories about palace maids who died unjustly or of old age; it was creepy just thinking about it!

The next morning, breakfast was prepared and eaten as usual.

Inside Qianqing Palace, the three of them sat as usual.

But the atmosphere and their actions were different.

Xiao Bing ate her meal with grunts and groans, not saying a word, resolutely not wanting to disturb the two of them in whatever they were doing. She had originally wanted to create some opportunity for Chu Ning, but Your Majesty wouldn't let her leave...

How intelligent was Xiao Bing?

Your Majesty was looking for a shield, afraid she couldn't control herself, so she could only apologize to Chu Ning...

"Qinglian, try this, it's freshly made. The morning flavor is lighter, eat less spicy..."

"Finished drinking? Want another bowl? You'll be busy all day, you definitely can't go hungry..."

After finishing speaking, Chu Ning did nothing else but watch Ye Qinglian eat.

My wife is so beautiful...

Ye Qinglian remained silent, not saying a word from beginning to end!

She knew Chu Ning was staring at her, but she had no intention of acknowledging him!

However, every time their eyes accidentally met, Ye Qinglian couldn't help but blush and then hastily cover it up.

This made Chu Ning's heart tingle...

But meals always come to an end.

After breakfast, Xiao Bing cleared the bowls and chopsticks and left. Only the two of them remained in the sleeping quarters.

Chu Ning felt that the opportunity had arrived.

He immediately grabbed a small stool and moved it next to Ye Qinglian.

"Qinglian, how did the food taste? Did it suit your palate?"

Ye Qinglian's expression was as cold as ever, and she didn't even glance at Chu Ning.

This proved that she hadn't forgotten yesterday's events at all and didn't know how to face Chu Ning at the moment or what to say.

Inside the palace, there wasn't even the sound of a dropped needle. It was deathly quiet, especially since there were only the two of them. This situation was extremely bizarre.

Until Ye Qinglian could no longer stand it and spoke indignantly, "Can you stop staring at me? Don't you have anything to do!"

Chu Ning smiled.

"My only job is to take good care of you, isn't it?"

Ye Qinglian gritted her teeth and said angrily, "The court session is about to begin, and you have to go too. Why aren't you changing into your Dragon Robe!"

"It's here, I put it outside. I'll be able to put it on soon."

"Then shouldn't you be thinking about whether there are any unfinished political affairs from yesterday, or anything that needs to be supplemented!"

"Everything is finished. I even showed it to you, and Xiao Bing delivered it to the Cabinet later."

Ye Qinglian was speechless and fell silent, clenching her fists tightly!

Her flushed face indicated that she had no more tricks up her sleeve.

Ye Qinglian was annoyed when Chu Ning ignored her, and even more annoyed when he got close to her!

The former felt an empty, lost feeling in her heart, while the latter felt that this guy was too clingy!

Moreover, he was still thinking about her, and probably didn't intend to let yesterday's incident go!

She wished she had just let him kiss her and been done with it, treating it like being bitten by a dog!

The current situation made Chu Ning even more unrestrained. Once she said anything, he would inevitably bring up yesterday's events to coerce her!

Ye Qinglian wanted to get up and leave, to escape as quickly as possible, and at least have Xiao Bing by her side so she wouldn't be afraid of Chu Ning doing anything excessive, but Chu Ning grabbed her hand.

"Don't rush, it's not time yet. Sit back down..."

Ye Qinglian wasn't buying any of it!

"The court session hasn't started yet, so let's go to Mingde Hall!"

Chu Ning chuckled, not hiding his intentions at all.

"If we go to Mingde Hall, it'll just be the two of us. I'll send Xiao Bing away, so you can't escape."

Right!

There was also Chu Ning and his personal maidservant Xiao Bing conspiring loudly about how to find an opportunity with her!

He even bribed Xiao Bing, that scoundrel!

Ye Qinglian snorted coldly, looking at Chu Ning with a blank expression.

"What do you want? Just say it. What is all this?"

Chu Ning looked confused, as if he didn't understand.

"I want you. Don't you know? I've always shown I'm very interested in you, can't you tell?"

Ye Qinglian finally found the key to breaking the stalemate!

"Heh! You showed you were interested in me, so it was all a pretense, and your ultimate goal is to usurp the throne and seize the country!"

Seeing this, Chu Ning didn't explain and simply admitted it.

"Yes, yes, yes, you're right. If I take you down, the entire Great Gan Dynasty will be mine. Once I become Emperor, I can go on a wild spree expanding my harem, and then…"

"How dare you!"

Ye Qinglian glared at Chu Ning furiously. "I can overlook you speaking nonsense in front of me, but you dare to talk about finding other women in front of me! Do you know I'm carrying your child right now!"

Chu Ning smiled and took Ye Qinglian's hand. "You were the one joking first, why are you getting angry? Your Majesty, you'll have a hard time making friends if you're like this…"

Ye Qinglian yanked her hand back and sneered.

"I don't need friends. A ruler is always solitary. I am who I am, and no one can control me!"

"Alright, no more jokes. Actually, my eyes are only for you, Qinglian. Huh? Your belly is getting bigger again, let me feel the baby…"

He leaned in, resting his head on Ye Qinglian's abdomen.

"Mmm… I can feel it."

Ye Qinglian, who had been flustered moments ago, suddenly looked down in confusion.

"I can't feel anything, what can you feel?"

"I feel you're warm and smell nice…"

As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed Ye Qinglian's waist.

Ye Qinglian froze for a moment, then kicked Chu Ning away!

"Scoundrel, get lost!"

"From now on, you're not allowed to act like this without my permission!"

"So you mean I could have come to feel it before without asking you? You should have said so earlier!"

"Chu Ning, can you be any more shameless?"

"I haven't done anything more shameless yet. I'm afraid you'll kill me if I do. Why don't you try to restrain yourself, and I'll try…"

The long sword was suddenly unsheathed!

Ye Qinglian's face turned red as she cursed, "Try anything, and see if I don't cut it off and make sure you never have a chance to think about such things again!"

"Don't think I don't have ways to control you!"

Chu Ning looked indignant.

"Aren't you ruining your own future happiness? If not for me, you should at least consider yourself…"

Ye Qinglian walked towards Chu Ning, holding her sword high.

Right now, she really wanted to kill Chu Ning!
