Chu Ning looked at him expressionlessly.

"I haven't spoken to you in a long time." Chu Huan's tone was filled with a sigh, "Go for a walk with me?" ”

When the words fell, without waiting for Chu Ning to agree, he walked out with his conceited hands.

Chu Ning's expression was indifferent, but he stood up without saying a word and followed him out.

After the palace banquet, the palace maids and attendants were cleaning up the aftermath, and the noise of the Lantern Festival gradually dissipated and slowly fell silent.

The two walked leisurely along the smooth bluestone road in the palace, facing the cold night breeze, chatting while walking.

Of course, it was all Chu Huan who was talking, and Chu Ning was listening—he didn't listen very seriously, he only heard the sound of chirping in his ears, but he didn't pay attention to what the other party said.

is nothing more than those old things, the brother-sister relationship when I was a child, and gradually alienated when I grew up, and the emperor's voice was rarely dyed with a bit of melancholy.

As for how much sincerity and some falsehood are in these melancholy words, Chu Ning has no intention of distinguishing.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two turned around and entered a palace gate.

Chu Ning looked up expressionlessly.

Changxi Palace.

His gaze only stopped for a moment at those three words, and Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the sharp and cold light under his eyes.

Changxi Palace is the residence of the Queen Mother before Chu Huan ascended the throne, and after Chu Huan ascended the throne, the Queen Mother moved to Ci'an Palace.

The Palace of Changxi was left vacant.

Chu Huan brought her here at this time to remember the time when she was young?

Of course not.

Inside and outside the Changxi Palace, how many guards and masters are hidden in the open and dark, she knows it.

Chu Ning lowered his eyes and looked at his fingertips.

She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she has practiced internal kung fu, and she has few swords and weapons, so these hands actually look no different from most daughters' hands, slender and slender, fair and flexible.

But everyone in the Xiling Imperial City knows that when these hands kill, it will be more terrifying than those warriors with thick calluses in their palms.

Raising her feet up the hall steps, Chu Huan glanced back at her: "What is the imperial sister thinking?" ”

Chu Ning came back to his senses but didn't speak, his expression was faint, and he followed without saying a word.

The former residence of the Queen Mother is naturally cleaned all year round, even if it is no longer inhabited now, the palace attendants dare not slack off in the slightest.

The hall is neat and clean, and the furnishings are the same as before, without the slightest change.

It should have been ordered in advance, so after Chu Huan and Chu Ning entered the hall, a palace maid made tea, offered two lamps with low eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and then stepped back and knelt in an inconspicuous corner.

Chu Huan sat down on the chair and took a sip of the teacup.

He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, or rather, he was deliberately delaying time, wanting to see Chu Ning's anxiety.

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

Chu Ning's eyebrows were as cold and silent as ever, no matter how hot his eyes were, he was afraid that he would not be able to detect the slightest strange emotion from Chu Ning's indifferent face.

Chu Huan was a little disappointed, he had always wanted to see Chu Ning lose control but never succeeded.

He was thinking that if Chu Ning could show a little flustered—even just a little, it would be enough for him to be excited for a long time.

But that's okay.

He thought that even if Chu Ning could remain calm at this time, this calmness would not last long.

"Your Majesty." A person came out of the side hall next door and knelt down on one knee, "The minister has found out the whereabouts of the concubine, does the emperor want to see him now?" ”。

Chu Huan turned his head to look at Chu Ning, and finally caught a glimpse of Chu Ning hearing this, and his face tightened slightly.
