In the dead of night, under Emperor Ning's warm hospitality, Lu Nianli reluctantly stayed at Daning Palace for the night.

He had a new idea in his mind.

The matter of returning to Beili can be delayed a little longer.

Lying in the bathtub surrounded by mist, enjoying the massage from the palace maids, Lu Nianli felt refreshed. The excitement of being a boss in someone else's base camp was much more comfortable than at home.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

While enjoying it, a sharp shout from the eunuch came from outside.

"Stand back!"

Lu Nianli waved his hand, signaling the maids to leave.

If the palace ladies were granted amnesty, they exited the bath one after another and left through the back door. At the same time, a figure walked towards the main entrance.

But the person who came was not Emperor Ning, but Empress Ning.

In the bright candlelight, Lu Nianli's gaze fell on Ning Hou's body without concealment, scanning it unscrupulously.

"I have met Prince Lu!"

Ning Hou seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, her posture was very low, her expression was calm, and there was a bit of coldness in her eyes.

She did not wear a phoenix robe, only a layer of gauze.

"Xiao Wang has met Queen Ning."

Facing Queen Ning, Lu Nianli was much more polite and said, "Please sit down!"

Ning Hou's cheeks suddenly turned red. She glanced around and saw that there was not a single chair in the entire bath. Where could she sit?

"I came here to apologize to Prince Lu for Daning's wrongdoing. I hope Prince Lu can forgive me and rebuild the friendly relationship between Daning and Beili."

"Jiang Chuan and others who planned to harm you have been executed by Your Majesty."

"The compensation promised by His Majesty has also been sent to the Beili Dynasty. I ask Lord Lu to please show his respect and stop pursuing this matter."

Ning Hou said sincerely.

Lu Nianli was a little surprised. He didn't expect the Daning Dynasty to be so well-behaved and sociable. They were both compensated and dedicated.

It's a pity that Daning should be destroyed anyway.

All sincerity is nothing in the face of great interests in the world.

Not to mention that it was unforgivable for the Daning Dynasty to intercept and kill him. Even if they did not intercept and kill him, when the time came, he would still guide his second sister to kill him without hesitation.

But now...

Lu Nianli smiled kindly and said, "Since Empress Ning has come to apologize in person, it's easy to talk about those small things."

He patted the water in the bathtub, and his palms slapped on the water. "If Empress Ning is not in a hurry, you can sit down and talk slowly."

Ning Hou gritted her silver teeth.

Even if I was fully prepared before coming, I couldn't help but blush at this moment.

What made her even more ashamed was that Lu Nianli's unabashed gaze fell on her through the gauze, burning her body like a flame and making her skin crimson.

She took off her gauze and slowly stepped into the water.

What is warmer than water is the fearful heart.

Especially when she saw the scene below through the clear water, it made her breath feel hot and her heart beat faster.

"How can you sit here?"

She shook her head violently.

"What was I thinking?"

Sitting in the water, she no longer dared to look directly into Lu Nianli's eyes. No matter how handsome he was, he was no different from a hungry wolf in her eyes at this moment.

The preparations she had made before coming here had long been forgotten, leaving only a mess in her heart.

"If he pounces on me, do I have to cooperate?"

"What if he doesn't take the initiative, am I really going to do something shameful like that?"

Ning Hou felt so entangled in her heart.

He secretly raised his eyebrows to look at Lu Nianli, only to find that he had no intention of moving at all. He just kept looking at him with a smile and said nothing.

"what to do?"

Ning Hou clenched her fists while hiding under the water, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

She thought that as long as she came in and closed her eyes, everything would be over, but her current situation was like being roasted on a fire.

Is this an attempt to play hard to get and destroy her dignity both physically and mentally?

As time passed, Lu Nianli was always bathing in an attitude of enjoyment. After Ning Hou looked at this romantic and uninhibited young prince, she couldn't help but speak first.

"Prince Lu, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say so."

"The Daning Dynasty made mistakes first, and we are willing to bear the consequences no matter what."ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Ning Hou moved her body with difficulty and leaned towards Lu Nianli.

"Are you really willing to bear any consequences?"

Lu Nianli put his arms around Empress Ning, who came closer, "What if I insist on destroying the Daning Dynasty? Are you willing too?"

Ning Hou's pupils shrank sharply and she didn't know how to answer.

Lu Nianli smiled again and said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with Daning being destroyed. Anyway, you have already become the puppets of the Dayan Dynasty, why bother to survive?"

"You, the queen, are so groveling and groveling everywhere. It's so sad."

"How about you become my woman? Although there are more flowers and plants in my courtyard, at least no one dares to touch you. Whatever you want, I will give you."

"You are here. With Emperor Ning's coward, I can probably count the number of people with higher status than you on both hands."

"In this king's courtyard, no one can bully you except me."

Looking at that handsome face, Ning Hou was a little at a loss. Of course she would not believe this playboy's lies, but she had to admit that her heart was shaken.

From the moment Emperor Ning pushed her out.

The feelings that were not there in the first place were completely gone.

"You must destroy Daning?" Queen Ning asked through gritted teeth.

"To be precise, she's my sister. As for me, I'm not interested in fighting. I only came here to see Ning Hou." Lu Nianli replied with a smile.

"I can betray Emperor Ning today, and I can betray you tomorrow, aren't you afraid?"

Ning Hou stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Lu Nianli's neck.

"Betrayal of my king?"

Lu Nianli sneered, "The consequence of betraying me is death, which is a hundred times worse than Jiang Chuan's death. I will teach her that she cannot live but cannot die."

At that moment, Ning Hou seemed to see the terrifying Shura Demon God descending into the world, making her almost breathless.

"Hoo ho ho!"

She was breathing heavily, and her murderous intent was so terrifying.

"How do you feel after Ning?"

Lu Nianli asked with a smile, "Betrayal of me will be a thousand times more painful than this. Of course, if you are willing to be my caged bird, I will also keep you safe, prosperous, and wealthy throughout your life."

"I……"

Queen Ning's mood is complicated, as is the case in an imperial family. Mere feelings are nothing, interests are always the first choice.

After the Qishalou Incident, Beili's great prosperity was completely unstoppable.

She finally said those words that were degrading to her.

"I wish to be the king's caged bird."

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.

Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.

Where is this?

Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.

A single dorm?

Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.

And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?

With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.

The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
