Chapter 37 Tyrant
Seeing that Pei Yan really liked it, Lu An thought he could try sugar-roasted chestnuts next time.
[I am becoming more and more virtuous now]
[Is this a talented player?]
【Born to be a househusband】
Pei Yan has now gotten used to Lu An always having words in his mind that he doesn't understand, but when he heard the word "home", a faint smile appeared on his face.
When Pei Yan saw Xuanying coming into the Minguang Palace, he could no longer laugh. He thought: Where did this ugly dog come from to steal his people?
Xuanying locked onto the target as soon as he came in, and stood behind Lu An, pushing Lu An and about to leave. Lu An glanced at Xuanying and touched his head: "Don't make trouble, wait a while, okay? I'll go back and play with you later."
Xuanying looked at Lu An with an aggrieved expression again, as if to say, "You haven't been with me for a long time."
Pei Yan: What a scheming dog.
Seeing Xuanying was trying to push him out, Lu An looked at Pei Yan in embarrassment and said, "Your Majesty."
[Quick, let's go]
【We are going out to play】
[Your Majesty, please speak.]
Pei Yan... ? ? ?
Pei Yan waved his hand helplessly and looked up and said, "Go down."
[Xuanying is a good dog, this will be the case from now on]
[Oh yeah, let’s go play]
【Hahahahahaha】
In the evening, Eunuch De suddenly came in and announced that the Empress Dowager had personally sent someone to deliver the "Calming Spirit Soup".
Pei Yan sneered and said, "Send it in."
After a while, Eunuch Zhang came into the Mingguang Palace with something in his hand. "Your Majesty, this is the tranquilizing soup that the Empress Dowager asked Imperial Doctor Zhang to prescribe for you. The Empress Dowager asked you to protect your body and not overwork yourself."
Pei Yan said coldly: "The Queen Mother is thoughtful, please step down."
Eunuch Zhang: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has ordered that you have been overworked recently, and she wants me to watch you drink it with my own eyes, so that she can feel at ease and I can report to her."
Pei Yan picked it up and took a sip. All the things brought into the Minguang Palace had been tested for poison. Pei Yan didn't know what the Queen Mother was thinking, to show off the loving mother and filial son.
As for Lu An, Xuanying refused to let him leave and kept biting the corner of his clothes and dragging him onto the bed, resulting in him not going to Mingguang Hall yet.
[So does that mean I don’t have to go? 】
[There is no other way.]
[Xuanying won’t let me go]
The more Lu An thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. However, before he could be happy for long, Eunuch De arrived.
Eunuch De: "The emperor asked us to come and see, why haven't you come yet so late?"
Lu An: ………
After Xuanying fell asleep, Lu An followed Eunuch De and secretly went to Minguang Palace.
Why does it feel like an affair? 】
[Illusion, must be an illusion]
It was only after Lu An arrived at the Minguang Palace that he learned that Pei Yan had gone to the hot spring. Lu An thought to himself: I'd better wait until Pei Yan has finished bathing before going, I'm afraid my chastity will be compromised.
At this time, Eunuch De cried out, "Look at my brain, how could I forget? The emperor originally wanted you to go directly to the hot spring, but I forgot and made you go there in vain."
Lu An quietly watched Eunuch De's performance...
[Look at your poor acting skills]
[You are so smart]
Even if Lu An knew it was fake, he had to go. Now he could only pray that Pei Yan had finished washing.
The night is dark, and the hot spring pool is filled with steam. The lingering mist looks hazy and mysterious under the moonlight. The palace lanterns by the pool emit soft light, which is reflected on the water, creating ripples.
Pei Yan leaned against the edge of the pool, closed his eyes and rested, the warm water gently lapping at his shoulders, as if washing away the day's fatigue.
Suddenly, there was a sound of soft footsteps, accompanied by a faint fragrance, like the scent of flowers in spring, or like the faint orchid in the night breeze.
Pei Yan opened his eyes slightly, and saw a woman walking slowly towards him. She was wearing a gauze dress, as thin as a cicada's wing. Water vapor wet the corners of her clothes, sticking to her exquisite body, making them barely visible.
Pei Yan began to feel hot all over as soon as he saw Zhu Qingwan and smelled the fragrance. He immediately understood and thought to himself that the Queen Mother had made a good plan.
Zhu Qingwan slowly stepped into the pool, her veil being soaked by the water. Her movements were graceful and calm, as if every step was carefully designed.
She approached Pei Yan and whispered softly, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. Let me rub your shoulders for you."
Pei Yan's face was gloomy, and a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he could pierce through people's hearts. He looked at her and said, "Get out! Who allowed you to come in? Are all my guards dead?"
Seeing that she dared to approach him, Pei Yan stood up instantly and became furious.
"How dare you!" His voice was like thunder, shaking the candles in the hall slightly. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill. "Do you know what you are doing?
Zhu Qingwan's face turned pale instantly. Didn't Daddy say, "As long as she puts on Qiluoxiang and gets close to the emperor, the emperor won't be able to refuse her no matter what? What's going on now?"
Zhu Qingwan's charming smile froze on her face, replaced by fear and panic. She knelt on the ground in a hurry, her body trembling slightly, and her voice trembling: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I... I just..."
Pei Yan: “Just what?”
The guards outside the hall heard the sound and came in. Their footsteps were heavy and rapid, like the beat of a drum beating in everyone's heart.
Pei Yan glanced coldly at Zhu Qingwan who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a low and cold voice: "Drag her out and give her thirty strokes of the cane! Throw her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. If she commits the same offense again, she will not be forgiven!"
The guards quickly stepped forward and dragged Zhu Qingwan out of the hall. Her cries for mercy gradually faded away and finally disappeared into the night.
"Pass on my order," he said in a low and cold voice, "all the guards and palace maids outside who neglect their duties today will be killed without mercy."
Lu An arrived just in time to see Zhu Qingwan, who was half-naked, being dragged away, and heard Pei Yan's words of killing without mercy. Suddenly, the whole surrounding area was filled with cries for mercy.
【Tyrant】
[You said you came to seduce someone, but you should clarify your orientation.]
Pei Yan raised his head the instant he heard the voice.
