The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Shen Runing's heart suddenly tightened. The night in Ruifu Palace was eerily quiet, and even the sound of the wind seemed to be deliberately held back.

Being able to discuss these things in this palace is like stepping on the gates of hell. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, you will be demoted and imprisoned at best, or even killed at worst.

Concubine Jing was so nervous that her face turned pale. She looked out the window with bated breath, as if trying to catch the lurking figure in the night.

Shen Runing remained calm and collected himself. He said in a low and calm voice, "Don't move in the room. I'll go out and take a look."

After saying that, she stood up silently, walked lightly to the door, and pushed it open to go out.

The sky is bright with moonlight at this moment. It is the mid-moon, and the full moon is hanging high in the sky, like a bright mirror, casting a cool light.

However, there were a few dark clouds floating in the night sky, as if they were about to cover the sky but were not yet covering it, casting a hint of uneasiness.

Shen Runing tilted her head slightly, and glanced at Chun Zhi beside her.

Chunzhi had already subconsciously stepped back half a step and protected herself. There seemed to be something hidden in her sleeves, which was faintly glowing with cold light. It was clearly an extremely thin dagger. If someone suddenly attacked her, she could take that person's life in an instant.

Shen Runing walked lightly and steadily, his eyes coldly cast in the direction where the figure disappeared.

She knew very well that if that person really heard their conversation just now -

Then, that person will definitely not be able to walk out of Ruifu Palace alive.

It was a dark night. Ruifu Palace was large, with long and deep corridors and towering palace gates. The vermilion palace walls glowed coldly in the moonlight, and the arches overlapped and crisscrossed like a maze.

Shen Runing walked forward slowly. He could hear the faint sound of wind blowing through the eaves and the soles of his shoes stepping on the bluestone slabs, making a very light echo.

suddenly--

Outside the archway, a figure slowly walked out.

Shen Runing's heart tightened and he subconsciously took a half step back, his eyes fixed on the man vigilantly.

With the faint moonlight, she finally saw the face of the visitor clearly.

The ghost lingers.

Ling Xun.

Shen Runing frowned slightly and felt annoyed.

"Prince Ling?" She spoke slowly, her tone revealing a hint of impatience.

"What are the guards in this palace for? Why do they allow you to come and go freely like this?"

There was a sharp edge in his words, and his vigilance was not concealed at all.

Ling Xun smiled slightly, seemingly not caring about her attitude.

He approached slowly, the moonlight reflected in his eyes, and there was a hint of teasing in his narrow and long phoenix eyes, as if everything that had just happened was just a good show for him.

"What a coincidence, we meet again." His voice was low and a little lazy.

Shen Runing snorted coldly and didn't want to respond at all.

Her mind was full of thoughts about whether she and Chunzhi could get rid of Ling Xun right here.

If he really heard their conversation, it would not be wise to keep him.

At this moment, he had a faint smile on his lips and his eyes were fixed on Shen Runing, as if he could see through her thoughts.

Then he leaned forward slightly. His tall figure cast a slender shadow under the moonlight. He bent down so that his eyes were level with Shen Runing's. His tone was gentle with a hint of teasing.

"how?"

"Want to kill me?"

Shen Runing still didn't answer, but his eyes darkened slightly.

Ling Xun saw it clearly. He sighed softly, then suddenly reached out his hand and lightly touched her hair with his slender fingertips. The action seemed gentle, but in fact it was teasing.

"How heartless." He chuckled in a hoarse voice.

"I don't want to die in your hands."

He straightened up, his eyes sank slightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he gently raised the corners of his lips and glanced at Shen Runing meaningfully.

"But if you really want to kill me, I'm afraid you'll have to practice more."

Shen Runing's eyes turned cold instantly.

This man - is he so fearless?

Chun Zhi suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Shen Runing, his sleeves slightly raised, the dagger in his hand shining with a cold light, his eyes full of vigilance and anger.

She lowered her voice and scolded: "You are a prince, but you dare to break into the queen's bedroom in the middle of the night!"

As she spoke, her eyes became fierce, and she was about to turn around and walk back: "I'll have someone arrest you right now!"

However, Ling Xun moved faster. He pulled out a folding fan from somewhere, raised his hand lightly, and hit Chunzhi on the head accurately.

"As foolish as your master."

He spoke slowly and in a lazy tone with a hint of undisguised teasing.

Chun Zhi suddenly became so angry that his face turned red. He was about to stab with a dagger, but he saw Ling Xun leisurely put away his folding fan and patted his sleeves lightly, as if he had just flicked off a little dust.

"I can come and go freely here, so I must have someone's permission."

Shen Runing's pupils shrank slightly and his heart suddenly shook.

What? The emperor actually allowed this foreign prince to run rampant in the palace?

She originally thought that Ling Xun's breaking into Ruifu Palace at night was just an offensive act on a whim, but she didn't expect that he was actually walking around in the imperial city openly, not sneaking around, but with the emperor's permission?

What does this mean? It means that the entire Tianyan royal family has become extremely corrupt!

They actually allowed a prince from another country to be so unbridled, coming and going freely without even having to worry about any rules or etiquette.

Tianyan... is simply rotten.

Shen Runing suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, took a long breath, and then went straight to the point.

"How much did you hear?"

Her left hand was slightly raised, with four extremely thin silver needles hidden in her fingertips.

If Ling Xun really heard something he shouldn't have heard, she would never let him leave easily even if she had to risk her life today.

Even if she couldn't kill him, she would make him pay the price - if she lost a thousand of her own lives, she would also injure the enemy by eight hundred!

However, Ling Xun showed no fear at all. He gently opened his folding fan and fanned himself leisurely, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his lips.

"Um……"

He dragged out the last syllable, as if deliberately keeping her in suspense. After a long while, he uttered three words slowly and calmly:

"Go to the mother and keep the child?"

Shen Runing's breathing stagnated slightly, and a terrifying coldness flashed in the depths of his pupils.

Ling Xun talked to himself.

"besides……"

"What is the origin of Concubine Rong?"

Shen Runing took out a silver needle and rushed towards Ling Xun at an extremely fast speed.

Someone who disrupted my plans.

All will die.
