Chapter 62 A Dreamlike Feeling
That night, Eunuch Wei, bowing low, slowly walked in carrying a gilded sandalwood box, a hint of an enigmatic smile on his face.
"Miss Lu, these are the things I prepared as instructed. Please take a look."
Lu Zhaoxue glanced at the contents of the box, paused for a moment, then felt a throbbing pain in her temples and a headache. Just as she was about to hide the box, she heard steady footsteps outside the door.
Chu Huaiyu, dressed in a black dragon robe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, exuded an aura of imperial majesty and oppression. As soon as he entered the room, the air inside seemed to freeze.
"What is this?" Chu Huaiyu's voice was deep as his gaze fell on the box that Lu Zhaoxue was clutching tightly. Before Lu Zhaoxue could speak, Chu Huaiyu had already stepped forward and easily snatched the box from her hand.
Chu Huaiyu casually opened the first layer, his brows slightly relaxed, and said with a half-smile, "Lu Zhaoxue, I didn't expect you to have prepared these for me."
Lu Zhaoxue pursed her lips, her face pale, and she secretly thought that something was wrong. Chu Huaiyu seemed to have become interested, and with a flick of his finger, he opened the second layer of the box. Lu Zhaoxue reached out to stop him, but she was too late.
On the soft cushion, several exquisitely packaged aphrodisiacs were prominently displayed, with the writing on the bottles clearly visible.
Chu Huaiyu's face instantly turned from sunny to stormy, and the atmosphere around him plummeted to freezing point. He stared intently at the medicine bottles and gritted his teeth as he said, "Lu Zhaoxue, it seems you're quite dissatisfied with me lately?!"
Chu Huaiyu was instantly enraged. If this matter were to get out, the historians would write all sorts of stories about him!
Lu Zhaoxue froze, her cheeks flushing crimson. She hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty has misunderstood! The contents of this box were prepared by Eunuch Wei; they have nothing to do with me!"
Chu Huaiyu suddenly recalled Wei Gonggong's hesitant, ambiguous smile, and immediately understood. He cursed inwardly: What is that damned lackey thinking about all day long?!
...
After Chu Huaiyu instructed the palace servants to prepare the hot spring, Lu Zhaoxue followed Eunuch Wei to the hot spring pool in the side hall. She waited quietly to the side, while Chu Huaiyu leaned lazily against the soft couch by the pool and waved his hand.
"Lu Zhaoxue, come and serve me."
Lu Zhaoxue took a deep breath and slowly walked forward. Her fingertips trembled slightly as she first unbuttoned Chu Huaiyu's clothes and then slowly removed them. Lu Zhaoxue's movements were somewhat stiff.
Chu Huaiyu's eyes darkened. "Why are you moving so slowly?"
Lu Zhaoxue's cheeks began to burn. She closed her eyes and reached out to remove Chu Huaiyu's last remaining clothes.
Chu Huaiyu stood naked in front of her, not feeling embarrassed at all by being so frank with her.
Shameless! Lu Zhaoxue cursed inwardly.
Chu Huaiyu stepped into the hot spring, the warm water washing over his waist and abdomen. He leaned against the edge of the pool, tilted his head back slightly, and said loudly, "Come here and give me a shoulder massage."
Lu Zhaoxue felt somewhat helpless, so she could only step forward and squat down beside the hot spring to massage Chu Huaiyu's shoulders.
"Didn't I feed you enough? Put some effort into it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoxue's expression changed slightly. She concealed the complex emotions in her eyes and increased the force in her hand, wishing she could crush Chu Huaiyu to death.
As she continued to massage, Lu Zhaoxue vaguely felt the breathing of the person in front of her gradually become heavier. Suddenly, her arm was grabbed tightly by a warm and powerful hand, and Chu Huaiyu pulled her forward.
Lu Zhaoxue cried out in surprise, lost her balance, and was pulled into the hot spring by Chu Huaiyu. With a "plop," water splashed everywhere.
Caught off guard, Lu Zhaoxue choked on a few mouthfuls of warm water. She struggled to float to the surface, shaking off the water. When she looked up, she met Chu Huaiyu's gaze.
Lu Zhaoxue, still shaken, blushed deeply and her voice trembled slightly: "Chu Huaiyu, what are you doing?"
As soon as Lu Zhaoxue finished speaking, Chu Huaiyu suddenly stepped forward, pressed the back of her head with one hand, and kissed her lips without saying a word. The kiss was exceptionally domineering, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Lu Zhaoxue tried her best to resist, but her strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of Chu Huaiyu. His hands roamed over her body and easily removed her soaked clothes.
Lu Zhaoxue froze, feeling the warmth of his palm, her heart turned cold. Just when she thought Chu Huaiyu would continue, he suddenly stopped.
Chu Huaiyu's gaze did not fall on Lu Zhaoxue's face, but was fixed on her body. Chu Huaiyu's eyes gradually became complicated. He slowly leaned down and gently kissed the wounds on Lu Zhaoxue's body with his thin lips.
Lu Zhaoxue felt numb, her eyelashes trembling as she let Chu Huaiyu's kisses fall on her body. Soon, her body was covered with red spots.
Suddenly, Lu Zhaoxue instinctively placed her hands in front of Chu Huaiyu, seemingly trying to stop him from taking further action, but Chu Huaiyu saw Lu Zhaoxue's resistance as futile.
Chu Huaiyu gently leaned close to Lu Zhaoxue's ear and whispered something to her. Lu Zhaoxue's eyes widened for a moment, then she gave up resisting. Wherever his fingertips touched, a shiver ran through her.
Lu Zhaoxue's body suddenly trembled, as if struck by an electric current. Chu Huaiyu noticed her reaction and slowly curled a wicked smile at the corner of his lips.
Lu Zhaoxue closed her eyes, and a tear silently slid down her cheek, disappearing into the warm spring water.
Faced with Chu Huaiyu, Lu Zhaoxue could only passively endure it all...
Chu Huaiyu was clearly in high spirits, and this one-sided entanglement lasted for a very long time, so long that Lu Zhaoxue was completely exhausted and her consciousness began to blur. In the end, Lu Zhaoxue could not hold on any longer and fell asleep in a daze.
Since entering the palace, Lu Zhaoxue has been living in constant fear and sleepless nights. Her spirit was already on the verge of collapse. This moment of unconsciousness was a rare moment of peace for her since entering the palace.
Chu Huaiyu's interest had not completely faded. He looked down at the peaceful sleeping face of the person in his arms. Lu Zhaoxue's face was pale with a sickly pallor, and the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, as if she had had a bad nightmare.
Chu Huaiyu's displeasure vanished instantly, replaced by a tenderness he himself was unaware of. He gently stood up and carefully picked up Lu Zhaoxue.
Chu Huaiyu gently wiped the water droplets off Lu Zhaoxue's body and then draped his own outer robe over her shoulders.
Chu Huaiyu looked down at Lu Zhaoxue, who was fast asleep in his arms. His eyes sparkled with a dreamlike light. Then, Chu Huaiyu gently shook his head.
He was originally supposed to have Lu Zhaoxue serve him, but in the end, it turned out that he was the one serving Lu Zhaoxue.
