Chapter 4 The Imperial Concubine 4

night.

Pei Zhiyan fell asleep in the pilgrimage hall.

The moment he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but recall the events of the previous night. He remembered Luo Xi's fair, jade-like skin, and her long, straight, slender legs...

The more he thought about it, the less he could sleep.

He sat up, his gaze fixed intently on the direction of the Jade Palace.

In the end, he still went to the Jade Palace.

Jade Palace.

The eunuch guarding the Jade Palace heard someone knocking on the door.

Who is it?

Eunuch An: "The Emperor is here! Open the door quickly!"

Your Majesty!!!

The young eunuch quickly opened the door.

"This servant greets Your Majesty."

Pei Zhiyan looked towards the direction of the sleeping quarters, where the lights had already been turned off.

"Get up, is the Imperial Concubine asleep?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Pei Zhiyan strode toward the sleeping quarters.

Inside the sleeping quarters.

Pei Zhiyan sat by the bed.

He saw Luo Xi's slightly trembling eyelids and knew she wasn't asleep.

He gazed intently at her.

After a while.

Pei Zhiyan finally couldn't help but ask, "Luo Xi, you're not asleep, are you?"

Luo Xi: !!!

She didn't open her eyes.

Pei Zhiyan:

Still pretending?

He chuckled softly, then lowered his head and kissed her delicate profile.

Luo Xi: !!!

She suddenly opened her beautiful big eyes.

She pushed Pei Zhiyan away forcefully, sat up, and asked with feigned composure, "Your Majesty... why are you here?"

Pei Zhiyan moved closer to her. He felt comfortable being near her, and he couldn't help but want more.

His voice was hoarse as he asked, "Your Highness, do you know what I did to you last night?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xi's eyes widened in surprise.

She lowered her head and stammered, "I was drunk and don't know what happened last night."

Pei Zhiyan reached out and lifted her chin, his fingertips unconsciously tracing her luscious red lips. He chuckled softly and asked, "Forgot?"

"Since you've forgotten, I'll help you remember it again, okay?"

Luo Xi: !!!

Pei Zhiyan leaned down and kissed her red lips. Ignoring her struggles, he ripped off her nightgown and did to her again what he had done to her the night before while she was still awake.

After three times, he gently stroked her back, calming her breathing.

After a while, looking at Luo Xi's beautiful face, he couldn't resist teasing her again.

Outside the sleeping quarters.

Grandpa An was stunned.

The Emperor is truly unrestrained.

Inside the dormitory.

Luo Xi weakly pushed Pei Zhiyan, who was pressing down on her, and said in a coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, you have someone you like, and I also have someone I like. What we are doing is wrong."

Pei Zhiyan kissed her earlobe, touched her hard, and said in a deep voice, "But, Xi'er, you are now mine, you can't marry the person you love."

"Moreover, the person you like ran away with another woman."

Do you think he cares about you?

Luo Xi: ..........

Pei Zhiyan gripped her slender waist and said in a hoarse voice, "Why don't we just make the best of a bad situation? You forget him, and I'll forget her too, okay?"

"Xi'er, he doesn't deserve your deep affection."

Luo Xi remained silent upon hearing this.

After a while, she couldn't help but mutter a few curses at him.

Pei Zhiyan smiled and said, "It sounds really good."

"If you don't agree, you won't get any sleep tonight."

Luo Xi: !!!

In the end, Luo Xi had no choice but to agree.

One month later,

Pilgrimage Hall.

Pei Zhiyan was reviewing memorials when Eunuch An entered. "Your Majesty, Miss Ning has sent a message."

Pei Zhiyan: !!

Ning Zhirou?

He hadn't thought of her for a long time.

Since he agreed to Luo Xi's request, he has stopped sending people to chase after her.

However, since she has already run away, why is she sending a message to the palace now?

At that moment, Luo Xi arrived.

She walked in, looking at the letter in Eunuch An's hand with a puzzled expression.

"This is?"

Pei Zhiyan truthfully replied, "It was a letter sent by Ning Zhirou."

Luo Xi: !!!

Her heart leaped into her throat, and she pinched her palm hard.

Ning Zhirou?

She's still alive?

They really are lucky to be alive.

What did Luo Xi think of?

Could this letter be a cry for help?

No, we absolutely cannot let the Emperor see this.

Luo Xi glared at Pei Zhiyan, then said unhappily:

"Your Majesty, didn't you say you would forget her? Then why are you still in contact?"

"So, everything you said to me was a lie?"

Pei Zhiyan: !!

He strode up to Luo Xi and explained, "I didn't."

"I don't know why she sent a message to the palace?"

Luo Xi: "How was she able to send a message into the palace?"

At this moment, Pei Zhiyan remembered.

He said guiltily, "I...I gave her a jade pendant before, which could help people from Jingtang Money Shop send messages to the palace."

Luo Xi: ...........

I see.

Pei Zhiyan: "I will give the order now that the jade pendant will be an ordinary jade pendant from now on."

"That way, she won't be able to send messages into the palace, okay?"

Luo Xi: "Okay."

Luo Xi's eyes flickered slightly.

"Your Majesty, may I have this letter?"

Pei Zhiyan replied without hesitation, "Of course."

Then, he gave Eunuch An a look.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch An handed the letter in his hand to Luo Xi.

Luo Xi didn't even glance at it, and threw the letter directly into the stove.

Pei Zhiyan: !!
