The long night is long, and for Chenxi this night, it is destined to be different from the ordinary time. .

But he will not regret what he did, because Chen Xi knew that there was a devil in his heart, and the demon in his heart was lurking in his heart at some point, and now it is taking root and sprouting, such as the desire for power, the greed for beauty, or the possessiveness of all beautiful things.

Gao Ning is the culprit who urges his inner demons!

Gao Ning did not struggle at all, and was very proactive in everything. Gao Ning was respectful and humble to Chen Xi on the embroidery couch, even surpassing Hui Niang and Li Jin who were usually flattering.

Chen Xi did not expect that when Gao Ning put down his guard, he could do this to him. If Chen Xi hadn't known that Gao Ning had no way out, he even suspected that this woman who was unwilling to be lonely was nurturing a huge conspiracy and wanted to ruin him. But Chen Xi knew that when this night ended, he would not keep Gao Ning by his side, and even if Gao Ning wanted to slander him, there would be no witnesses.

Moreover, this time it was not him forcing Gao Ning, but just a transaction. Gao Ning made the content of the transaction himself and took the initiative to promote it. She could not even guarantee whether Chen Xi would fulfill his promise.

"grown ups……"

When everything subsided, Gao Ning wanted to get into Chen Xi's arms, but Chen Xi did not let her succeed.

Chen Xi got off the embroidery couch and started dressing and tidying up his clothes. At this time, Gao Ning, who was lying on the bed with a flushed face, was confused.

"Don't you want to say nothing and just leave?" Gao Ning asked with a little resentment in his tone.

It was when the stars and moon were gone at the beginning of the moon. Chen Xi looked at Gao Ning with the help of the faint light. At this time, the expression on Gao Ning's face was extremely complicated, and even Chen Xi, who had always been good at guessing people's hearts, could not interpret this expression.

Chen Xidao: "I will ask someone to send you away tomorrow. As for the affairs of Jianchang Hou and Jiang Liwei, you don't have to worry. Although the Gao family has been punished, they can only be deprived of their citizenship for the people... If you want to continue to accuse me, you will let you do it. I did not do it before. Now that I have done it, I will not avoid it..."

Gao Ning's face had a sad smile and said, "When I hadn't done it before, many people believed it. But now that I have done it, no one will believe it anymore. Moreover, I have to maintain my status in the Gao family. How can I admit this to my family? I am clearly making fun of me..."

Gao Ning knew better than Chen Xi about the situation he was facing.

"I am overestimating my ability, and slandering the adults in order to make them feel embarrassed in the court. With the power of the adults, I can completely mobilize troops to suppress our Gao family. Why didn't I do this?" Gao Ning asked with some confusion.

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I don't need to explain to you when doing things!"

"Adults are really good. If I were born a few years later, even if I am a slave or a servant, I will insist on staying with the adults, because with his talent and attitude towards life, it is indeed impeccable in this world. If an adult is born in a chaotic world, he will definitely be a hero. Unfortunately, his life is in a peaceful age... But this does not prevent the adults from rising in the court. Even if an adults make enemies everywhere in the court, they will still be invincible... Who in this world can do it?"

When Gao Ning said this, there was no sarcastic look in his tone, it should be the heartfelt words.

Chen Xi said coldly: "But unfortunately, if I had been a few years earlier, I would never have kept a woman like you by my side! You are too dangerous and scheming..."

"Haha, do you think I am willing to be scheming? I am not a woman, and I don't know the pain of a woman in this world. Women must follow their husband's family in everything. Even if they are capable and talented, they still cannot enter the court and can only take care of their husbands and children at home... But women have the same ambitions and ambitions, right? If an adult is a woman, will he be willing to control his destiny and not do a big fight?"

Gao Ning looked at Chen Xi, as if she wanted to get Chen Xi's recognition because the real opponent she encountered was just Chen Xi.

She tried to conquer Chen Xi, but the fact was that she was conquered by Chen Xi.

Chen Xi said: "I am not a woman, so I will not have such a vision. Maybe in a few hundred years, you will achieve your dream. Okay, that's all, let's arrange what kind of life you will live after you leave tomorrow!"

After saying that, Chen Xi was about to leave, but Gao Ning quickly got off the embroidery couch, without even having to wear clothes, and knelt on the ground, grabbed Chen Xi's clothes, and said in a pleading tone:

"Sir, please don't send me away, can you? I'm in the Gao family, and I'm already a dead person. I know that the Jinyiwei guards Fu Jiang Li want to send me to the capital and give me to Marquis Jianchang. I had a thought before, and I was determined to overthrow my lord and let out a sigh of anger."

"Now that the lord has obtained my body, why don't you keep me by your side? Even if you let me be an outside house, without name or separation, I will be willing to..."

Chen Xi looked back at Gao Ning, with indifference in her eyes, and she directly threw Gao Ning's hand away. Although Gao Ning wanted to go forward and hug Chen Xi's legs, she lost the air. Chen Xi did not stop anymore and walked out of the door firmly.

Standing in front of the door, Chen Xi turned around and said, "No matter how unwilling you are in your heart, you can only endure it in this era, otherwise you will be regarded as an alien. If you want to continue to retaliate against me, you are welcome at any time, but if you want me to take you in, that is impossible, because I don't know when you will cause a huge disaster again!"

At this time, Chen Xi ignored Gao Ning again, and all this had become a passing cloud. From this moment on, Chen Xi would not see Gao Ning again.

A transaction, from the beginning to the end, was just one night.

...

...

Capital, Ganqing Palace.

The ministers in the court were reporting the matter, and Zhu Houzhao was dozing off while sitting on the dragon chaise. No matter what the minister said, he would go in and out of the right ear. Even what was the focus of the conversation that day, he was indifferent. All he cared about was what kind of beauty Li Xing got him, or what fun things Liu Jin arranged after leaving the palace.

After the Ministry of Rites, Li Dongyang added: "Your Majesty, the burial of Emperor Daxing is urgent. Now that the construction of Tai Mausoleum is postponed, we should send someone to investigate!"

Zhu Houzhao looked dazed and did not answer. Liu Jian saw some clues and asked, "Your Majesty... I wonder what Your Majesty thinks about this?"

Zhu Houzhao was awakened by this loud shout, came back to her senses, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The ministers present couldn't help but look at each other. After talking about their feelings for a long time, they played the piano with the cow, and the emperor didn't listen at all. So what's the significance of this court meeting?

Liu Jian said patiently: "Go back to Your Majesty, the construction of Tailing Xuan Palace was originally scheduled to be officially completed in mid-May, but the construction period is about to end. However, the supervisor report postponed. I wonder if someone will be sent to check the situation?"

Zhu Houzhao pretended to think about it, and then said, "The construction period is delayed, as long as there is not much time delay, it will be the case. I don't think I need to send someone to check it out. There are many people who build the imperial tomb there. Do you not know how to report any problems? Liu Shaofu was really fussing. This is what happened in advance... No need to discuss it again!"

Zhu Houzhao looked indifferent, as if the construction of his father's tomb had nothing to do with him.

Li Dongyang was honest and was about to say something, but was stopped by Liu Jian. Li Dongyang looked at Liu Jian in confusion and said nothing more.

The Ministry of War reported the matter immediately.

Xiong Xiu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War received a report on the northwest war, saying that the Mongolian national army Yi Sima wrote to the court, asking the court to open several border passes to trade with them. The special envoys sent were almost at Xuanfu. I wonder if his envoys were allowed to enter the capital?"

Before, Zhu Houzhao looked listless, but after hearing the Mongolian sent envoys, she suddenly widened her eyes and asked: "What special envoy? Have you arrived at Xuanfu? It should be not far from the capital..."

When he reacted, he looked around His Highness's civil servants and generals, and suddenly felt that he was too excited. He coughed awkwardly and said:

"Well, I am also concerned about the military affairs of the Northwest. Since Mongolia has sent envoys, I think they should be allowed to enter Beijing! What kind of trade they are talking about, I think it is necessary. Is it a good thing to communicate with each other..."
