Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 9 Caught in Bed

"May I have your name?"

The woman in black immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Please give me a name, young lady."

Now, there are only three of them, the master and the servant, in Lanyue Pavilion. Minister Jiang and his wife, and Jiang Xun have all returned to their respective courtyards.

"You don't have a name?"

"No. I was the fifteenth child, so I've always been called Fifteen."

Jiang Yueyang thought about it and decided that this fifteen probably meant he was ranked fifteenth among the emperor’s secret guards.

"There is something I need to confirm." Jiang Yueyang looked at Fifteen who was kneeling on the ground with a faint look in her eyes, "Will you still obey the orders of your former master?"

[Host, you are asking nonsense. She is the emperor's secret guard.]

【Then I don’t want it. 】

System: […Can you still refuse the Emperor's secret guards? ]

[Why not? Your Majesty didn't openly grant me a secret guard. She is just a maid that my father found for me. I don't need her if I don't want her.]

When Fifteen heard this, he immediately said, "Don't worry, young lady. From today on, I will only obey your orders."

When Emperor Yuan gave the secret guards to Minister Jiang, he said that since the secret guards were given to the Jiang family, they would be members of the Jiang family. He would not give any more orders to the secret guards, but the secret guards had to report Jiang Yueyang's situation to him.

In other words, Emperor Yuan is no longer the master of Fifteen.

The secret guards are all professionally trained, and since Emperor Yuan is no longer their master, they will no longer obey his orders.

"That's best."

"Please give me a name, young lady."

"From now on, you will be called Qingzhi."

In a blink of an eye, night fell, and men in black appeared on the roof of the Jiang family, and palace lanterns were lit in the palace.

In Yaohua Palace, Concubine Wan was wearing a thin red gauze dress, with her pearl hairpins removed. Her three thousand black hair was tied casually with only a red ribbon, and she was half lying on the scented couch behind the green tent.

"Your Majesty, did you go to Ning'an Palace?"

"Your Highness, the message from the other side is that His Majesty went to Ning'an Palace half an hour ago and called for water a quarter of an hour ago."

Hearing this, Concubine Wan rubbed her brows and said, "I suddenly feel a little dizzy. Go and call Doctor Lu."

"yes."

A quarter of an hour later, Doctor Lu came to Yaohua Palace carrying a medicine box.

Doctor Lu sat outside the tent and said respectfully, "Please stretch out your hand, Your Majesty. I need to feel your pulse."

A jade hand dyed with red cardamom stretched out from the tent. Doctor Lu placed the diagnosis handkerchief on the wrist and covered the hand to feel the pulse.

At this time, the head maid dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs and closed the door.

"Apart from feeling dizzy, do you feel any other discomfort?"

The jade hand slowly hooked the finger on the diagnosis towel, and said in a charming and enchanting voice: "I feel anxious and my mouth is dry. Does Doctor Lu know how to treat it?"

"Your Majesty, your yin energy is out of balance and you need to replenish your energy and regulate it."

The tent fluttered slightly, and the person lying inside was looming, with a pair of fox eyes that made people confused.

Doctor Lu's Adam's apple rolled a few times and his eyes were filled with hunger.

"Then Doctor Lu, please prescribe a prescription for me."

Concubine Wan gave a gentle tug and Doctor Lu was pulled into the tent, with his hands resting on both sides of the incense couch.

The restless hands began to wander over the rapidly heaving chest, slowly lifting up the official uniform and revealing the pure white inner garment.

As her breathing rate quickened and she lost her mind, Doctor Lu pressed down on her, buried his head in her slender neck, and licked and kissed her continuously.

The veil slipped off, revealing the delicate and smooth shoulders.

A coquettish voice came out of Concubine Wan's mouth, and the temperature around her rose instantly.

Concubine Wan pushed the people on her body, stood up, and took Doctor Lu into the inner hall.

Inside, red curtains fluttered, lights flickered, and a special fragrance filled the entire inner hall, making it feel like a dream.

The two overlapping figures were entangled with their lips and tongues, and the obstacles on their bodies fell to the ground one by one, fitting tightly together as if they were one.

The blushing breathing sound was suppressed. Concubine Wan bit Doctor Lu's shoulder and tried her best to swallow the sound that was about to come out of her throat.

The overlapping figures finally fell on the bed, making a creaking sound and the bed curtains shaking continuously.

Just when everyone was in a state of confusion and excitement, there was a bang and the door of the hall was opened, and the whole hall was suddenly brightly lit.

The two people on the bed woke up instantly and frantically tried to grab the clothes on the ground and put them on.

Unfortunately it's too late.

Emperor Yuan and the Empress led their personal eunuchs (palace maids) into the inner hall, and what they saw were two people sitting naked on the bed.

Concubine Wan pulled the quilt to cover her private parts, while Imperial Doctor Lu knelt on the bed in fear and kowtowed for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Emperor Yuan looked at Doctor Lu as if he were a dead person, "Drag him away."

Two eunuchs immediately stepped forward and dragged Doctor Lu out. The Queen Mother stepped aside to avoid seeing the dirty thing.

After a moment, Wanpin, neatly dressed, knelt in front of the two men.

Emperor Yuan said sullenly, "Princess Wan, you deserve to die!"

"I deserve to die. I only ask Your Majesty to punish me and not implicate innocent people!"

"Innocent? We all prosper together and we all suffer together! Wanpin, what do you think this palace is? Who do you think I am?"

"Your Majesty, this is all my fault. Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of our past friendship, do not implicate others."

Wanpin knelt down and leaned towards the Empress, hoping that the Empress would plead for her, but before she could crawl to the Empress's feet, she was kicked out by Emperor Yuan.

Emperor Yuan was competing in martial arts, and this kick made Concubine Wan vomit blood.

"Don't touch the Queen with your dirty hands!"

Wanpin smiled, "Your Majesty, you love the Queen so deeply, have you ever remembered that I am the one who grew up with you?"

When he was still a prince, she was his personal maid. When he was a crown prince, she was his concubine.

But when he became emperor, she was an insignificant woman in his harem.

A woman who came to her to vent his emotions after being angry with the queen.

Haha, she is so pathetic.

The Queen looked at Concubine Wan who was kneeling on the ground. As a woman herself, she could more or less understand her feelings at the moment.

But no matter what the emperor does, concubines in the harem are not allowed to do anything that is obscene in the palace.

What's more, the royal bloodline has now been confused.

The crime should be punished by death, but the innocent people involved can be spared.

"Your Majesty, would you please let me handle this matter?" asked the Queen.

"Empress, this matter..." Emperor Yuan met the look in her eyes and said, "Forget it, whatever you want."

The Queen smiled at him, then looked at Concubine Wan and said in a deep voice, "Concubine Wan, you offended His Majesty tonight, and you will be banished to the cold palace from today. The Eleventh Princess is young and cannot be left alone, so she will be sent back to the Qian family tomorrow and is not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned. All the palace maids in Yaohua Palace will be beaten to death."

"As for Imperial Physician Lu, his medical skills are inadequate and he has caused harm to me. I shall dismiss him from his position as Imperial Physician and punish him with fifty strokes of the cane."

After saying this, the Queen Mother took one last look at Concubine Wan and said coldly, "For the sake of the royal family's reputation, I have no choice but to make this decision, but you and Doctor Lu cannot live."

"I thank the Queen for her leniency."
