Chapter 114: The Gloomy Eunuch and the Imperial Concubine (17)
With a legitimate reason, Ruan Guannan felt at ease staying in her Yuhua Pavilion to "recuperate".
She didn't have to look at the faces of other concubines, let alone serve "rotten cucumbers". She wished that her "illness" would last longer.
But this Concubine Yi is really something, she always steps on her bottom line.
Ruan Guannan would feel uncomfortable if he let her live more comfortably.
But before she could take any action, someone brazenly attacked her.
Ruan Guannan looked at the bland soup with little meat on the table. The only meat was a dish of old duck soup, but he was put off by the thick layer of oil on the surface before he even took a sip.
"Master, you have only raised me for more than 20 days, and the people below me thought you had fallen out of favor. When I went to the kitchen, they gave me these directly..."
Jin Rui looked very angry. It was obvious that she had argued with the other party, but the other party didn't listen.
Ruan Guannan took a deep breath, and the wooden chopsticks in his hand broke into two pieces with a "snap", but he still smiled and said:
"Go call Kong Qing and see which expert can't help himself?"
Today, the Yuhua Pavilion has a clear division of labor, with Fusang and Jinrui taking care of the entire Yuhua Pavilion.
Tsukimi and the other two went into the inner room and served Fuso personally when the others were too busy.
Kong Qing surprised her. He was really good at getting information.
Jin Rui looked at her hands carefully. They were still intact, white and slender.
She swallowed unconsciously, secretly smacking her lips in her heart, thinking that she was worthy of being the young lady of their general's mansion.
Fortunately, the master doesn't like to use chopsticks made of other materials, otherwise, with the master's attitude of being destroyed at any minute, their Yuhua Pavilion would be ruined sooner or later.
Soon, Kong Qing came back with the news he had heard.
"Master, I approached a servant in the imperial kitchen, and she said that it was Concubine Yi's personal maid Liu Zhu who secretly bribed the people in the imperial kitchen."
Concubine Yi...
So, on a dark and windy night, Ruan Guannan, dressed in black and wearing a black scarf, quickly climbed up the palace wall and flew away, blending into the night.
It was the first time that Ruan Guannan used the Qinggong he learned in "Small Achievements" and felt very novel and excited.
Especially in this kind of bad situation.
But she did not dare to underestimate the royal guards in the palace. She tried her best to conceal her figure and ran quickly towards the Yun'en Palace.
At the same time, in a remote corner of the palace, Li Huaiyi looked expressionlessly at the ants struggling in the water.
The coldness and cruelty in his eyes were like a poisonous snake that tightly coiled around the person who didn't know how to live or die.
The person in the water struggled weakly, looking at the people on the shore with horror and despair.
The throat made hoarse by the poison could only make some slightly unpleasant "ah ah" sounds, nothing else.
"If you dare to touch her, you and your master should be prepared to die. Go down and wait for your master."
The voice was soft and gentle, and was carried away by the wind in the dark night. However, the short-lived man who heard it clearly never had the chance to beg for mercy.
Sinking into the mud bit by bit, sleeping forever with the stench.
On the way back to Yuhua Pavilion, Ruan Guannan's secret joy came to an abrupt end when he saw the man in black flying on the roof not far away.
She stopped suddenly, looked at the figure on the roof opposite, and then quickly distanced herself.
She didn't move, and the person opposite her didn't move either.
After a long stalemate, Ruan Guannan suddenly felt that her behavior was stupid, so she whispered in a rough voice:
"When we meet on a narrow road, we don't interfere with each other."
Ruan Guannan took two tentative steps, and seeing that he didn't react, he quickly slipped away when he was not paying attention.
Li Huaiyi looked at the figure fleeing in panic, and a gentle smile flashed across his masked face.
Only after the figure completely disappeared did he slowly return to his residence.
The next day, just after Ruan Guannan finished his brunch, an unexpected person came to visit him.
"Sister Ruan, I came to visit you today. I hope you don't think it's a bother."
Xia Luoning walked in with a smile on her face and greeted Ruan Guannan.
Ruan Guannan would not hit anyone who smiled at him. He called her "sister" very enthusiastically, as if the two were really sisters.
This made Xia Luoning feel even more uncomfortable.
She slowed down, smiled shyly, and said tentatively:
"Sister looks very healthy. I think she is well now. You can come and keep me company often in the future."
Ruan Guannan smiled even more beautifully, fanning himself lightly with the fan in his hand, and said casually:
"Sister, I welcome you to come often. I've been bored in Yuhua Pavilion for almost a month. I'm tired of it."
At this point, Xia Luoning's expression became a little hesitant, but she still said in a low voice:
"Sister, you don't know, something happened in Yun'en Palace.
It was said that when Concubine Yi woke up, her hair and eyebrows mysteriously disappeared overnight.
And the person next to her named Liu Zhu suddenly disappeared last night. He was found in a remote pond early this morning, but he was already..."
Xia Luoning seemed to think this was a bit cruel, and after a moment's pause she said:
"Before Liu Zhu died, she left a suicide note, saying that she could not bear the long-term abuse from Concubine Yi, so she resorted to this desperate measure, and then she committed suicide because she could not bear the torture anymore."
Ruan Guannan paused, extremely surprised, "Committed suicide?"
The shock on Ruan Guannan's face was vivid, and he was a very competent person to chat with.
Xia Luo Ning hesitated, looked at her doubtfully, and said:
"Sister, do you think there is something fishy about Liu Zhu's death?"
"What's so strange? How could someone be so crazy as to drag someone over here in the middle of the night?"
Xia Luo Ning was choked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a while, she said casually:
"Sister, are you familiar with Eunuch An?"
Ruan Guannan was even more shocked and asked incredulously:
"What do you mean, sister? How could I be familiar with a eunuch?"
After a moment of silence, Xia Luoning chuckled and sighed:
"That's right. After all, my sister is His Majesty's favorite concubine. How could she be so close to a little eunuch?"
As soon as the others left, Jin Rui spat and said:
"This Concubine Yi is really vicious. It seems that even God can't stand it anymore and wants to punish her."
Ruan Guannan didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes as if thinking about something, but the interest in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.
That night, Ruan Guannan still maintained his good habit of going to bed early and went to bed early.
But the weather was so hot and humid that she simply took off all her clothes, leaving only her bellyband and thin underwear. This had almost become her bedtime habit.
Ruan Guannan sighed comfortably and slowly fell asleep accompanied by the chirping of cicadas in the summer night.
The night was dark and endless, and the entire palace fell silent.
There was only one person walking in the darkness, sneaking into a palace with a clear goal, and landing silently.
Since Li Huaiyi entered the room, his eyes have been fixed on the bed.
Although there was a bed curtain covering him, he seemed to see through it and see the woman whom he had been thinking about day and night and whom he had been lusting after so much.
Coming here at this time was just the dirty trick he had resorted to after suppressing himself in every way possible without success.
Li Huaiyi came to the bedside, raised his hand and lifted the barrier with trembling hands.
After he had a clear view of the scene inside the bed, Li Huaiyi stood there in a daze.
He stared blankly at the woman's nearly half-naked body, his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously a few times, and the sound of swallowing saliva was very clear in the room.
Li Huaiyi slowly leaned over, getting closer and closer to that desire.
Only when he was just a finger away from the redness did he stop in unbearable pain.
The paranoia and possession in the eyes tightly wrapped around the person who was sleeping soundly, and desire finally triumphed over reason.
He raised his hand and pressed the woman's sleeping point, then covered that sweet and soft spot without hesitation.
He kissed the girl's lips greedily and obsessively. With every additional touch, the suppressed devil in his body became more violent.
He panted softly and kissed the two petal-like lips, making them delicate and tempting.
After a while, he carefully climbed onto the woman's bed.
With trembling hands, he held the woman in his arms, pressing their bodies tightly together.
He kissed her delicate ears, and the hot and wet kisses moved down her cheeks to her slender neck.
He licked and kissed that slender and fragile body, and became more and more passionate as he kissed.
Dark desires surged in his eyes, as if they had condensed into a storm, and Ruan Guannan was at the center of the storm.
Finally, his hot lips came to that rosy sweetness again, gently pried open her pearly teeth, and clumsily sucked up the tempting sweetness.
Ruan Guannan couldn't help but let out a soft moan, and the lecher who was holding her stiffened his body instantly, and he just stuck to her lips, not daring to move.
After a long time, seeing that she didn't move, he gently left the woman's lips and kissed her smooth naked back again and again.
His lips were hot and scalding, and every touch seemed to leave a mark on her skin.
But Ruan Guannan himself knew nothing about this.
The next day, Ruan Guannan slowly opened his eyes and stared at the bed curtains in confusion for a while.
She pouted unconsciously and felt her lips feel a little tight and sore.
She looked at herself in the mirror in confusion. Her lips were red and swollen, and there were a few red marks dotted on her neck.
She tried scratching it, but it didn't itch.
My goodness, those ancient mosquitoes were so good at biting. If you didn’t know, you would have thought she was being subjected to inhuman abuse.
Ruan Guannan didn't care much about it. He changed his clothes and then let Fuso and the others come in to put on their makeup.
Xia Luoning had already seen that she was well again, so Ruan Guannan also took the opportunity to "recover from his illness" and quickly packed up and went to Fengqi Palace.
