Xiao Yan almost fled all the way to the imperial kitchen.
He didn't know what he was running away from, but he couldn't allow himself to continue thinking about those dirty desires. He felt that he could no longer face Xiaoyun.
"Xiao Yun? What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red?"
When Xia Yang came out of the corner door of the imperial kitchen, he saw Xiao Yun gasping for breath, his cheeks flushed, and sweat still coming out of his forehead in the middle of winter.
Although he was a eunuch, everyone loved beauty. There were many beauties in the palace, but Xiaoyun was the most beautiful. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Xiao Yan glanced at Xia Yang sideways and said coldly, "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyes out!"
Xia Yang was stunned for a moment. When did Xiaoyun become so irritable?
Could it be that he was upset in the Eastern Palace? The master's temper was indeed bad, and it was difficult for Xiaoyun.
In recent years, there have been so many palace maids coming and going in the Eastern Palace. Except for the spies from various places, the rest all want to leave the Eastern Palace. No one is willing to take good care of the master. Only Xiaoyun has a good heart and is sincerely taking care of the master.
Thinking of this, Xia Yang was no longer angry. He smiled and said, "Miss Xiaoyun, calm down. As servants, we must be angry when serving our masters. Just bear with it and it will pass. What do you want this time? I'll pack it up and send it to you."
Xiao Yan snorted coldly. When had he ever been irritated by Xiao Yun? It was clearly that woman who was irritating him!
He casually threw a gold leaf to Xia Yang. Xiaoyun had told him to use the gold leaf to exchange for food before leaving.
"Here, you can make your own. Just prepare it the same as last time. Remember to prepare more meat. This...his highness loves meat."
Xia Yang refused to accept gold leaves no matter what. His master had ordered him to send something over, so it would be fine for him to accept some small change, but if he accepted gold leaves, it would be too unkind.
"No, no! Miss Baizhi has already given you the silver, you don't have to give it again."
After the two of them pushed back and forth and refused several times, Xiao Yan finally lost his patience and angrily said, "Just take it when I told you to. You're so annoying!"
Xia Yang was startled and the gold leaf was stuffed into his hand.
He suddenly felt that Xiaoyun was imposing and had some of his master's shadow. Could it be that Xiaoyun's temperament had changed after being with his master for so long?
Thinking of Wei Ling who was beside the master and also had a cold look on his face, Xia Yang felt relieved.
"Okay, I'll take it. Gold leaves are very valuable. If you need anything in the future, just come to me. No need to pay me."
Xiao Yan hummed indifferently. Although he was wearing a coarse linen shirt and had a beautiful face, he gave off a sense of awe and inviolability.
"Go ahead and do it. I'll give you a cup of tea."
Xia Yang was a minor manager in charge of purchasing in the imperial kitchen. He was the one who gave orders on weekdays, but now he was accused of being in a mess, so he immediately went to prepare the ingredients.
He didn't know why, but whenever Xiaoyun spoke, he subconsciously obeyed. It was strange.
Just as the food was ready, the chief steward of the imperial kitchen suddenly arrived.
Xia Yang was very calm. These things did not exceed the allocation of the Eastern Palace at all, and were even far from enough, so he had no guilty conscience.
"Why is the chief steward in the back? It's a mess here. If you have something to tell me, why come here in person?"
The chief steward patted Xia Yang on the head and scolded him with a smile, "You are quite clever, boy. Where did you hear the news? You are trying to curry favor with him so quickly?"
Xia Yang didn't understand what was going on, so he could only smile and keep silent.
The chief steward's gaze fell on "Xiao Yun" and looked him up and down. That look made Xiao Yan particularly uncomfortable, as if he was weighing how much he was worth.
"She is indeed a beauty, Miss Xiaoyun, please come with us. The Fifth Prince invites you."
The chief steward's attitude was very polite, but Xiao Yan felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on him, extinguishing the fire that had just risen in his heart.
His face darkened, and he knew that Xiaoyun was no ordinary person!
A criminal slave could actually make the chief steward of the imperial kitchen treat her so politely, and even make the Fifth Prince specially send someone to invite her. If someone said that she had no relationship with the Fifth Prince, Xiao Yan would absolutely not believe it!
He wanted to see how many things this woman was hiding from him.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Xia Yang was a little worried. He had heard from Bai Zhi that the Fifth Prince had bad intentions towards Xiao Yun, but he could neither stop Xiao Yun nor the chief steward. The only thing he could do now was to try to contact the master.
I hope that the master will find a way to save Xiaoyun because of how she has served him so well.
Xiao Yan was led through many twists and turns and finally arrived at an exquisite room.
There was incense burning in the room, which seemed to have an aphrodisiac effect, but for Xiao Yan, it was basically negligible.
His body was already riddled with wounds, and it was unknown how long he had been drugged. Naturally, his temperament was different from that of an ordinary person, and he would not be easily affected by drugs.
The fifth prince walked out from behind the screen with a determined smile on his face.
"Xiao Yun, you're finally here. I saw you just now. It must be hard for you to see me favoring another woman."
"I will give you one more chance. As long as you serve me well, I will give you a life of luxury, wealth and splendor in the future."
Xiao Yan clenched his fists, his limbs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
It turns out that Xiaoyun is the fifth prince’s woman!
She took good care of him, washed his clothes and cooked for him, boiled medicine and rubbed his legs for him. All this was just to paralyze him and gain her trust so as to get information for the Fifth Prince!
His heart ached slightly, and a sarcastic smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face. Using a woman's body was troublesome, so sentimental.
