After a beautiful encounter, Song Huaixi gently embraced Cui Mi from behind.
The soft breathing of a woman could be heard beside me.
"Mi'er, thank you for coming into my life," Song Huaixi said silently in her heart.
A gentle lake breeze, carrying the dampness of the water and the coolness of the night, softly brushed against the tips of their hair.
Song Huaixi's thoughts drifted back to that summer night, just as peaceful as today.
That was her second year in the palace.
From the moment she entered the palace, she never received a single bit of warmth or care from Yun Shu.
Yun Shu's affection was all reserved for Cui Mi.
In the first half of each night, Yun Shu would summon Cui Mi to his bedchamber. Only in the second half of the night would he choose other concubines.
Everyone in the palace said that Consort Mi was exceptionally beautiful, had graceful dance moves, and was the most favored concubine in the harem.
For a whole year, Cui Mi never set foot in Song Huaixi's palace, nor did she even pay her respects.
At that time, Song Huaixi seemed to have been forgotten in a corner of the harem. She only had the title of "Empress," but no one knew of her existence.
Song Huaixi endured a year of hardship, spending every night alone in her empty room, her resentment growing wildly like weeds in her heart.
Finally, on that summer night, she could no longer bear the endless loneliness and indifference.
She stormed into Wuhua Palace, Cui Mi's bedroom, accompanied by two maids.
When Xiwu saw the Empress arrive, she was about to announce her arrival when Jiuhua quickly covered her mouth and dragged her away.
Song Huaixi entered the palace gates quietly, as if she were in an empty place.
That day, she witnessed a scene she would never forget.
Cui Mi sat in a huge wooden tub, her skin as white as snow, her long hair like a waterfall, dripping wet down to her waist.
When Cui Mi saw her, he smiled and raised his wrist. A copper bell with water droplets hanging from it slid down his wrist and rang crisply.
Song Huaixi was drawn to those captivating eyes and walked over involuntarily.
She even forgot how she jumped barefoot into that huge wooden tub.
The wooden barrel is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate two people.
The bucket was filled with flower petals, their fragrance intoxicating and refreshing. Cui Mi looked at Song Huaixi and said softly with a smile, "Good sister, I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Cui Mi breathed softly into her ear, her breath as fragrant as orchids.
Song Huaixi's body trembled slightly.
She felt like she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.
Because she suddenly realized that the hot object pressing against her did not belong to Cui Mi, but to a man's virility.
Cui Mi looked at her with a smile, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
Song Huaixi couldn't see her expression clearly, but felt a nameless fear welling up in her heart.
Suddenly, there was a splash on the water, and Cui Mi stood naked in the water, facing her.
"ah--"
In an instant, Song Huaixi's screams were completely muffled by Cui Mi.
"Mmm...no..." Song Huaixi struggled while secretly thinking, how could Cui Mi be a man?
This realization filled Song Huaixi's heart with confusion and unease.
I vaguely heard the sound of a copper bell.
Her eyes gradually became unfocused.
Song Huaixi tried to push Cui Mi away, but Cui Mi's hands were like iron clamps, tightly locking her waist and making her unable to move.
Cui Mi's breathing grew heavier and heavier.
Song Huaixi's heart began to pound wildly, and her body trembled involuntarily.
After Cui Mi's lips left hers and she stopped struggling, he lightly touched her cheek like a dragonfly skimming the water, then slowly slid down and finally rested on her lips.
Song Huaixi closed her eyes, letting herself immerse in this unprecedented pleasure out of revenge against Yun Shu.
Cui Mi's kiss deepened, and her hands began to roam over Song Huaixi's body.
Song Huaixi's body became soft and powerless.
Her breathing gradually became rapid, and her heartbeat was especially clear in the quiet night.
Cui Mi's lips lingered on her neck, each touch sending shivers down her spine.
She knew she was in a dangerous situation, but she also felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
Outside, the moon pierced through thin clouds, and the wind rustled through the scattered flowers.
Inside the room, palace lanterns gleamed, their reflections intertwining on the water's surface.
From then on, whenever Yun Shu did not summon Cui Mi to his bedchamber, those days became precious moments of intimacy between Song Huaixi and Cui Mi.
"Mi'er, I've fallen in love with you, what should I do?"
"Cough cough..."
Song Huaixi's soft sigh was interrupted by Cui Mi's sudden light cough.
She immediately sat up nervously, and quietly called Jiu Hua to bring a thin blanket, which she gently covered the two of them.
Cui Mi was awakened by the metallic taste of blood in her throat just as dawn broke.
She found herself being gently held by Song Huaixi, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Hearing the commotion, Yugiri hurriedly came in.
Seeing that Cui Mi's face was pale, she quickly brought a spittoon and placed it by the bedside.
Suppressing the metallic taste in her throat, Cui Mi slowly spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Upon seeing this, Xiwu's eyes immediately reddened. She looked at Cui Mi with heartache, her throat tightening.
Cui Mi gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth; she didn't want Song Huaixi and Xi Wu to worry about her.
As she put on her clothes, she walked barefoot toward the side hall.
As she passed through Jiuhua, she whispered, "Prepare some nourishing medicine for your master in advance."
Jiu Hua responded and immediately sent Tang Li to the imperial kitchen to instruct the chefs to prepare a mild tonic.
Meanwhile, in Daxuan, at the Zhao residence, at Lanfang Courtyard.
In the quiet night, Asagao and Nan'ying were fast asleep. Suddenly, Ah Huang in the yard started to whimper.
Suddenly, torches lit up the entire courtyard, startling the two men.
