Chapter 8: Difficult to Seduce
"Idiot!" Liang Yao's heart was filled with shock. He gritted his teeth and moved closer. "You think you can figure out the emperor's heart?!"
Tears welled up in Liang An's eyes. He closed his eyes and trembled as he said, "The Emperor summoned Pei Cairen again... I thought..."
Liang Yao scolded him harshly, "You think so! You think so! That's just your own cleverness! You really think you don't have enough lives, so you dare to interfere in the emperor's affairs!"
Liang An was young and had never experienced such a big battle. He was completely shrouded in fear and regret. In the end, he couldn't help but shed tears: "Godfather... I don't dare... I don't dare..."
Liang Yao was so angry that his teeth ached: "If you weren't usually filial to me, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess!"
Liang An just kept sobbing.
Seeing his pitiful appearance, Liang Yao angrily let go of his clothes, tidied his appearance a little, and carefully pushed open the door of the hall.
A quarter of an hour later.
Liang Yao arrived at the torture chamber with a bone-chilling chill. Perhaps because he was too anxious, his voice was a little breathless. "How many times have you been beaten?"
The chief eunuch in the torture chamber gave a look, and the eunuchs carrying out the execution stopped. Then the chief eunuch came forward and said flatteringly, "Master, sixty-seven strokes."
"I heard you went to plead for mercy. We all fought slowly."
Seeing his adopted son's body still heaving, Liang Yao felt relieved. He turned his head and glanced at the eunuch.
"I will remember this favor. There is a vacancy for a head eunuch in the Imperial Tea Room. You can take up the position tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the eunuch was so happy that his whole body was itching. The tea room always had the most money, especially the imperial kitchen. This was a really good job.
He smiled flatteringly, not forgetting to promote his confidants, "Then these two eunuchs who carried out the execution..."
"Let's go together!"
"Thank you, Manager Liang!"
After giving the benefits, Liang Yao's eyes fell on the bench. His adopted son had been beaten to the point where he was only breathing heavily. Perhaps he heard his voice and was struggling to lift his head by holding on to the bench.
Liang Yao's heart suddenly softened. He no longer had the heart to teach his adopted son a lesson. He gave him a look and said, "The emperor has decreed that Liang An serve poorly and be punished with eighty strokes of the cane."
The chief eunuch understood what he meant and casually dealt with the remaining dozen or so blows.
After the punishment was completed, Liang Yao sent everyone away, and for a moment, only the father and son were left in the torture room.
Liang Yao walked over to the bench and squatted, brushing his adopted son's sweaty hair aside. "You're going to suffer now!"
Liang An tried to move his bloody buttocks, but shivered in pain. "Godfather, I was wrong."
Liang Yao sighed helplessly, "You are my son. As a father, I naturally know what you are thinking."
"You think that since the Emperor has summoned Pei Cairen twice in the past two days, and has her stay in Chengming Palace, and has promoted her, the Emperor must like Pei Cairen."
"Plus, today, the Emperor was clearly furious in the court, but Pei Cairen only stayed with him for a while, and his anger completely subsided. He even ate a little more breakfast."
“Do you think this will be the second Concubine Shen Liang.”
"So, you should be bold enough to ask the Emperor if the jelly that makes women infertile was omitted when Concubine Pei bathed tonight."
"Xiao Anzi, is godfather right?"
Liang An's eyes turned red and he didn't dare to respond. A picture kept appearing in his mind.
That was after he spoke. The emperor slowly raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently without saying anything. However, he was frightened to the point of his heart breaking and he knelt down to beg for mercy.
At that moment, he finally understood what his godfather often said.
The king's majesty is unpredictable.
Liang Yao frowned and said, "An'er, do you know the reason for your fatal disaster this time?"
Liang An raised his eyes with great effort, "Didn't Godfather say that I was so clever as to figure out your mind?"
Liang Yao shook his head and said meaningfully, "It's never trying to figure out the king's mind that brings about fatal disasters, but trying to figure out the wrong king's mind!"
In the dark and fishy torture chamber, there was only a lit white candle. The wick suddenly exploded in the silence, and the "crackling" sound mixed with the sound of wind and snow outside the house.
Liang An's eyes suddenly widened, and he felt a bone-chilling chill running through his feet and up his entire body, and he began to tremble.
Liang Yao ignored his surprise and continued, "While you're recovering from your injuries, think about where you went wrong."

Chengming Palace.
The rustling sound of snow falling outside grew louder, and Pei Tingyue let the palace maids wash her.
The warm water dispelled the coldness from her limbs, and she closed her eyes comfortably.
"The Emperor just said that he has some government affairs to attend to. Can I stay a little longer?"
The leading maid replied, "Since the Emperor is in no hurry to summon her, then I can stay with her for as long as I want."
After receiving a positive answer, Pei Tingyue relaxed and enjoyed himself.
She left reluctantly until her delicate skin began to wrinkle.
When I entered the bedroom, it was empty.
Pei Tingyue sat on the bed for a while, but seeing that there was no movement, she completely lost her patience and bravely went to the imperial study.
Sure enough, there was a figure sitting behind the desk.
"It's so late, Your Majesty, isn't he going to rest yet?"
Xie Chen looked up from his desk and saw the pretty figure. His originally fierce brows softened a lot. "Why is Tingyue here?"
Pei Tingyue walked up to him and started to lie: "Your Majesty has been away for a long time, and I miss you so much."
Xie Chen pulled the person into his arms and hugged him: "We just met, and now you miss me again."
Pei Tingyue's face was serious: "Yeah."
At last, she nodded seriously.
Xie Chen was amused by her expression, and then pointed at the thick pile of memorials and said, "What should I do? I still have so many government affairs to deal with."
Pei Tingyue rolled her eyes in her heart. Calling her here for government affairs was just a hassle.
However, she did not show any dissatisfaction, but followed his words and said obediently: "Then I will accompany you."
She hooked her arms around the man's neck and found a comfortable position in his arms.
Xie Chen suddenly heard a crisp collision sound. He looked over and saw that she was wearing a pair of jade bracelets of excellent quality on her wrists.
"Is this a reward from me?"
Pei Tingyue smiled and stretched out her hand in front of him, "I put it on immediately. Does it look good?"
The woman's wrists are as white as snow and her hands are as bright as green jade. After wearing the jade bracelet, the shimmering color adds to her brilliance.
Xie Chen said without hesitation: "It looks good."
Pei Tingyue's smile grew wider. "It is my honor that the Emperor finds it beautiful."
Pei Tingyue pestered him for a while, but seeing that he was still unmoved, she couldn't help but sigh, this man is really hard to seduce!
But on such a snowy night, she couldn't come here in vain.
At least you have to catch the beauty in front of you, otherwise you will be in trouble!
Pei Tingyue took a deep breath and prepared to use his ultimate move.
Her jade-like fingertips slowly hooked the coiled dragon jade buckle, tilted her head and said softly, "Are you really not going back to the bedroom with me?"
If what was said just now was a hint, then this is a blatant seduction.
Xie Chen felt the itch in his waist, and his eyes darkened: "Listen to the moon tonight, are you so impatient?"
