Chapter 42 One Night at Chuxiu Palace!
The next day, early in the morning, before it was fully light.
Chuxiu Palace, the sleeping quarters of the Imperial Noble Consort.
"Oh, Xiao Shisan, why are you bullying me so early in the morning..."
"Hehe, where's that initiative you had last night, Your Highness?"
"Ah, Xiao Shisan!"
There was a commotion in the hall that lasted for half an hour.
a long time!
Xiao Shisan put on the red robe with a pleased expression, tidied himself up, and then looked back at the couch: "Your Majesty, please tidy yourself up. I'll be going now."
The Imperial Noble Consort lay on the couch, a silk quilt half-covering her body, revealing her slender, jade-like legs and delicate, fair feet peeking out from under the quilt.
The visuals are captivating, and the scenery is breathtaking.
"You're so bad!"
Murong Yuhe's hair was disheveled, her face was fair with a rosy glow, and she was exceptionally beautiful, with a touch of new bride charm: "Husband, remember, come to my place whenever you have time."
"Hmm, no problem—"
Xiao Shisan stepped forward and kissed her cherry-like lips: "Last night, I got rid of Liu Jin. I reckon I'll be promoted to the head of the Western Depot today."
Murong Yuhe's eyes sparkled with joy.
"Yes, my man is the best."
"From now on, don't be afraid. Anyone who bullies my man will have their life taken!"
Hearing this, Xiao Shisan was deeply moved: "Baby, you're so good to me, I wish we could do it again..."
"No, that won't do!"
Murong Yuhe had just lost her virginity and couldn't bear it. She was so frightened that she quickly shrank into the quilt, her voice trembling: "You...you should leave Chuxiu Palace quickly, so as not to arouse suspicion."
Upon seeing this, Xiao Shisan chuckled.
My gaze fell upon the bright red bloodstain on the bedding, and I felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment and emotion...
After Xiao Shisan left.
Murong Yuhe then let the palace maid in and instructed her to cut off the bloodstains on the silk quilt.
The palace maid was startled: "Your Highness, why is there blood here? Where are you injured?"
Instantly!
Murong Yuhe's face flushed red, her beautiful eyes glaring at her: "You...you'd better leave, I'll do it myself!"
...
Xiao Shisan walked along the palace alley.
Seeing that it was still early, he planned to return to his Peach Blossom Studio and take a nap.
Then, he went to Changchun Palace to congratulate Empress Pei Ruohan.
Tell her that Liu Jin has been eliminated by her.
But they had just arrived at the entrance of Peach Blossom Studio.
In the courtyard, Qi Xiangjun, dressed in a white Taoist robe with hair cascading down to her waist, stood facing a eunuch with a cold and beautiful face, and said:
"I have already made myself very clear: I truly do not know where Xiao Shisan has gone!"
Looking for me?
Xiao Shisan hurriedly called out, "Here!"
Qi Xiangjun and the eunuch looked over together.
She asked angrily, "Where have you been? You didn't come back to sleep all night?"
Xiao Shisan was too embarrassed to admit that he had spent the night at the Imperial Noble Consort's residence, so he coughed twice and said, "Ahem... Sister Daoist, this is not something you should know, so please don't ask any more questions."
"Who cares!"
Qi Xiangjun gave a cold snort, then clutched her chest and swayed gracefully toward the side room, groaning in pain every few steps.
Xiao Shisan found it strange.
Could it be that she was injured in the battle with Liu Jin last night?
"Oh, Steward Xiao, you're finally back—"
A young eunuch approached with a fawning smile: "Left Chancellor Li Sidao has invited you to his residence to receive your reward. Moreover, it is Cui Quan, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who has personally come to fetch you, right in front of the palace gates!"
That's really punctual.
They're going to reward me first thing this morning!
"Okay! I'll be right there—"
After Xiao Shisan finished speaking, he followed Qi Xiangjun to the side room.
Just as Qi Xiangjun was about to close the door, she saw Xiao Shisan follow her in. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her beautiful face showed her confusion: "What are you doing in here?"
Xiao Shisan asked in surprise, "Are you injured?"
"Hmm, internal injuries!"
Qi Xiangjun sighed, "Not only me, but Eunuch Wei also suffered internal injuries last night. I need to rest for a while."
Xiao Shisan remembered that the "Huang Ting Jing" contained methods for recuperation and was about to speak.
"Xiao Shisan, aren't you leaving yet?"
Qi Xiangjun raised her eyebrows in displeasure: "I am a Taoist nun, and I cannot be too close to men, let alone be alone in a room with them. Moreover, there are outsiders present, and it would be inappropriate if they were seen."
"Take care of yourself these days, I can't protect you anymore."
"That makes sense. You, Xiao Shisan, have over fifty years of Liu Jin's martial arts skills. Why would you need my protection?"
Xiao Shisan: "..."
This girl is like a thorn in my side.
Xiao Shisan shook his head and smiled.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving."
"I was going to tell you about the treatment method, but you woman... oh well, never mind."
Qi Xiangjun: "..."
Looking at Xiao Shisan's back.
Qi Xiangjun realized she had misunderstood him. She opened her red lips slightly, but too embarrassed to refuse, she quickly closed the door again...
Xiao Shisan followed the little eunuch out of the courtyard.
Reflecting on Qi Xiangjun's words, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Although he possessed Liu Jin's internal strength accumulated over fifty years, he didn't know how to use it effectively.
I need to find someone to guide me!
"So you are Xiao Shisan?" A man in a flying fish robe looked at him as they arrived at the palace gate.
Xiao Shisan also sized up the man; he had a square face and a serious expression.
"That's right, I am Xiao Shisan!"
Xiao Shisan asked curiously, "Could you be Cui Quan, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
Cui Quan was startled and quickly cupped his hands in apology: "I am very sorry for the offense. Steward Xiao, please get into the carriage."
Upon seeing this!
Xiao Shisan was secretly alarmed.
Even a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was treating me with great respect. It seems that I'm sure I'm going to become the head of the Western Depot!
They were escorted by the Imperial Guards all the way.
Xiao Shisan sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, looked at the bustling market outside the palace, and listened to the shouts of various vendors. He felt inexplicably relaxed.
The long-lost warmth of everyday life.
After spending so long in the palace, I can finally come to the common people.
"Commander Cui, why should I go to the Left Prime Minister's residence to receive this reward?" Xiao Shisan asked Cui Quan, who was riding a horse outside.
Cui Quan laughed and said, "Chief Steward Xiao, the Left Prime Minister wanted to meet you and, by the way, promote you to be the supervisor of our West Depot. From now on, you will be my superior, and I will have to listen to you in everything."
Oh shit!
Having power is really good!
Xiao Shisan nodded and smiled.
Since that's the case, then I'll go see Li Sidao and see if I can get him to lift Empress Pei Ruohan's confinement!
The Prime Minister's residence covers a very large area.
Led by Cui Quan, Xiao Shisan walked along the corridor, turning and twisting, looking around at the surroundings.
"Steward Xiao!"
Swish!
A familiar woman's voice clearly reached Xiao Shisan's ears.
Xiao Shisan looked over accordingly.
Instantly!
Then she saw a voluptuous figure wearing a beige dress, walking towards her. Her legs were long and slender, and her fair thighs were faintly visible through the slit of the dress as she walked.
It was Qin Keqing.
Qin Keqing's eyes lit up with joy beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows, and a charming smile curved her lips: "Commander Cui, may I speak with Steward Xiao?"
"Of course."
"Steward Xiao, I'll be waiting for you up ahead."
After giving a fist salute, Cui Quan hurriedly walked forward.
Xiao Shisan withdrew his gaze and looked at Qin Keqing, who had a charming smile on her face. He had to admit, this mature woman looked very alluring.
"Hehe, Second Madam, what can I do for you?" Xiao Shisan greeted her with a smile.
Qin Keqing swayed gracefully as she approached, a delicate fragrance filling the air, a captivating smile on her face.
"Steward Xiao, I knew you were coming to our residence this morning, so I waited for you here."
"I haven't revealed your secret of being a fake eunuch yet. If you don't want me to tell anyone, come find me after you return from the Left Prime Minister's place!"
As she finished speaking, the corners of her beautiful lips turned up, and her smile became even more alluring, breathtakingly beautiful...
Xiao Shisan: "..."
This woman doesn't look like a good person!
