After a round of passionate lovemaking, Concubine Zhao and the person who had come lay in a pile of scattered clothes. After calming her breathing, she lazily asked, "Why did you come?"
"... I received the pearls. Did you see what I gave you?"
Concubine Zhao nestled against his right arm and dully said, "I saw them. I like those pearls very much. Where did they come from?"
The man stroked her messy hair and somewhat lustfully said, "After the matter is done, you can have as many of these pearls as you want!" Concubine Zhao's jade fingers traced the distinct lines of his arm, silently moving.
The man didn't stay for long. He hugged her tenderly for a while before getting dressed. Concubine Zhao didn't urge him to stay. She raised her jade feet and propped her head up as she asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Luoshuanga's thoughts are treacherous. If I stay too long, he will sense it." After getting dressed, he turned around and hugged her, "Cang Yi, I hope you understand. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't take such a big risk. Very soon, I will come to pick you up." He kissed her temple and left without hesitation.
"For me? Not for the deployment map of the Imperial Army? " Concubine Zhao laid in place without moving. The door was opened again, but she didn't turn her head to look, "I say, how long have you been eavesdropping? Is this what Commander Bai is interested in?"
The person outside the door had a bronze ghost mask on his face. He turned slightly to the side and didn't look at her disheveled appearance, "Concubine Zhao, please put on your clothes first."
Concubine Zhao turned her head and charmingly smiled, "Are you sure you want to stand there and talk to me with the door open? If someone sees us at this time, I don't care, but you will suffer. You didn't do anything and will be the scapegoat of the harem. "
Good things didn't work, bad things did. The sound of armor colliding was too familiar to Bai Luoyan. He felt as if his blood had frozen. He stiffly turned his head to the side and flashed into the room. After closing the door, a white hand touched his slender hand on the door. Concubine Zhao's naked body pressed against him. She breathed in his ear, causing the hair on his temple to move, "Why do you keep avoiding me? Do I not look good?"
"Everyone says that she's a femme fatale. How could she be unsightly?" Bai Luoyan cut off her left hand, which was holding the hairpin straight towards his carotid artery. He lowered his eyes and could see her feet, which were a size larger than those of other women in the boudoir. "Concubine Zhao, please change your clothes first."
"What if I say no?" Concubine Zhao bluntly loosened the pearl hairpin, letting it fall to the ground with a tinkling sound. "What can you do to me?"
Bai Luoyan said, "This humble one is merely following orders to pass on a message. Why must Young Lord make things difficult for this humble one?"
Outside the door, a line of patrolling imperial guards passed by in an orderly manner. The two of them held their breaths at the same time. After the patrol passed, Bai Luoyan said, "Young Master, you don't want to be discovered either, right?"
Concubine Zhao took a few steps back and sneered, "I just feel that dying with you is too much of a loss."
"Young Mistress is quick-witted." Bai Luoyan relaxed a little. Her hand, which was resting on the door, moved to her waist and pressed on the soft sword hilt. "According to Zhu Que's information, your sister is pregnant."
"Zhao Cangruo, isn't she cultivating in seclusion in the temple?" Concubine Zhao slowly picked up her clothes and draped them over her body. "Aren't Buddhist scriptures the most cleansing and reducing one's desires?"
Bai Luoyan said, "This humble one doesn't know."
Concubine Zhao was too lazy to comb her messy black hair again. She simply loosened her bun and let her hair fall down. "Then … where did he go just now?"
"The imperial guards' camp."
Concubine Zhao turned around. Her clothes were loosely tied, revealing a large portion of the jade skin on her chest and her lotus-colored tube top. "Are you done? If you're done, then please leave. Could it be that you really want to form a short-lived marriage with me?"
Bai Luoyan had her back to her from beginning to end. Before she left, she paused and advised, "If you don't cherish your own body, how can you let others cherish it? Young Lord, please don't do this again in the future."
Concubine Zhao snorted and said, "What do men know?" Then her tears flowed down, making her look pitiful.
The first time she had served him in bed, she had been a noble lady. She had taken off her clothes and stepped forward to undo the Emperor's belt, but had been pressed down. Luoshuanga's smile was cultured and refined, rosy and charming, but his words were cold. He said, "This humble one has no interest in other people's used shoes."
At that time, Concubine Zhao had stilled and then smiled enchantingly. She broke free of his hand and placed one hand on his chest, the other forming a claw. "This concubine does not know what Your Majesty is talking about."
"The eighth year of Yuanwu, the seventh day of the seventh month, Border City Cloud Fortress. Do you need this humble one to say more?"
An ice-cold sword rested on the side of her beautiful neck. Concubine Zhao's eyes swept over the person who had appeared at some unknown time. Her clawed hand slowly relaxed and withdrew her internal energy. Her smile became even more seductive. "Since Your Majesty ordered the mamas to let this concubine in, this concubine naturally has some use to Your Majesty. At the very least, I can help Your Majesty … warm the bed."
Luoshuanga took a few steps back and spread out his hands. "A poisonous beauty. This humble one does not have an impenetrable body and does not dare to endure."
Concubine Zhao's hands moved to fiddle with the thin red thread on her neck. She played with the string tied into a bow and continued to speak. "Your Majesty has never tried it, so how do you know you cannot endure it? Also, what is the point of those inexperienced virgins being like wood on the bed?"
Luoshuanga lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding her body. "However, this humble one wants to ask you, why is the Zhao Family helping Ninth Young Master?"
Concubine Zhao shrugged and said innocently, "Your Majesty, you are asking the wrong person. This concubine is just an adopted daughter. How would I know this? Also, Your Majesty does not suspect the Yun Family. The Yun Family is not just Ninth Young Master's maternal family, but has always been critical of Your Majesty's ascension to the throne. Your Majesty should not have first summoned Concubine Yun to ask."
Luo Shuang sneered, "Since you know that you're just an adopted daughter, why are you so hell-bent on helping the Zhao Family? What good is it for you? And do you really believe the words of the Ninth Young Master? You are just an adopted daughter. What can you give him? Like you said, once he succeeds, your remaining value will only be as a concubine to warm the bed. How is that different from other people? "
Concubine Zhao put away her frivolous expression and said, "Then what about you? What benefit do I have by helping you? Isn't it just warming the bed for you? Oh, that's not right. It seems that Your Majesty doesn't even need me to warm the bed."
Luoshuanga was like an evil spirit in the novels that bewitched people's hearts. "In any case, you have nothing. There is only Ninth Young Master. If you don't want him to be unable to leave you forever, then in the future, it can only be that you don't want him. If there is a day when you really want to leave, he will have to kneel down and beg you not to leave. Don't you want that?"
Concubine Zhao's personality had always been stubborn. Hearing this, her interest was immediately aroused. She asked innocently, "Just like my doll, I can't go anywhere?"
Luoshuanga nodded and said, "Yes, just like your doll, I can't go anywhere."
"Let me think about it."
"There is a bottle of pig's blood on the side. You decide for yourself." Before Luoshuanga left, he turned around and advised, "If you don't cherish your own body, how can you let others cherish it? Cang Yi, don't do this kind of thing in the future."
Hearing the gong of the night watchman echoing in the distance, Concubine Zhao finally came out of her memories. She moved her slightly numb hands and feet. Looking at the torn clothes on the ground, she smiled disdainfully and said, "You said it so nicely. Why didn't you give me any clothes? So … Ah Kun, how do you want to fight with him? The Yun family doesn't care about you. It clearly tells you that you are not Empress Dowager Jin Yue's biological son. Why don't you understand? "
Shuangbo Palace, Liuying Hall.
On the way back, Bai Suyan's face was tense. Entering the inner chambers, she waved her hand to dismiss the others. Looking at Green Waist, she said, "What else are you hiding from ben gong? Tell me all at once!"
Green Waist walked in front of her and knelt down to kowtow, "Niangniang, forgive me. This servant promised the leader that I would not say anything. But since niangniang asked, I did not dare to hide anything. Ever since the leader returned to the capital, he has been troubled by his inner demons. Not to mention leading an army, just seeing the armor makes him think of the tragic battle at Yuhan Pass.
Therefore, the leader could only use Buddhist scriptures to calm his heart. When he went to Xiangguo Temple, he only listened to the abbot preach Buddhism. He did not have any intention of becoming a monk. Niangniang, please do not worry. "
"I … I actually didn't know. I actually didn't notice at all." Bai Suyan's face immediately paled, "That person died at the hands of brother. Brother must have felt terrible. I actually didn't accompany him at that time. I …"
"Niangniang — —"
Bai Suyan suddenly felt a deathly stillness in her ears. She couldn't hear anything. All kinds of colors mixed together in front of her eyes. It made her feel nauseous. Her heart hurt, as if something had grown out of it.
Green Waist saw her suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and collapse in her seat. She was terrified. Xia Zhi stepped forward to feel Bai Suyan's pulse, "This … how could this be? The 'Dark Moon' is acting up. Imperial Physician Of Qin, quickly call the Imperial Physician Of Qin, quickly — —"
Consort Yan's poisoning caused a panic. The other three people who lived in the same palace gathered at her door. Concubine Chun grabbed a passing eunuch and asked, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
The eunuch cupped his hands and said, "This servant does not know. Consort Yan suddenly fainted. This servant does not know the details."
"Fainted?" Concubine Liang thought to herself. She grabbed Concubine Chun and said, "Jiejie, this is not a small matter. You must immediately report to His Majesty and invite him to come visit jiejie."
Concubine Chun understood and coughed. She raised her voice and said, "Do not panic. Consort Yan jiejie is not well. Since I am the one with the highest rank below Consort Yan jiejie, I should arrange everything. You …" However, no one paid attention to her in Liuying Hall.
Concubine Ning pressed her lips together and said, "Concubine Chun, do not make a fool of yourself. Also, the highest rank, are you sure?"
"Concubine Ning, what are you saying? Even though you and Concubine Chun jiejie are both standard fifth-rank concubines, but Concubine Chun jiejie was one step ahead of you. It is called first come, first served. Concubine Ning is being presumptuous!"
"The presumptuous one is you. A little concubine Liang dares to call my rank," Concubine Ning said with a cold face, "Also, I received the edict on the same day as Concubine Chun. Where is the first come, first served? Or is it that Concubine Chun wants to debate with me in front of His Majesty?"
