Chapter 22: Snooping
Yang Manyan felt full of grievances and felt that everything had gone wrong today. It really was like the saying "When it rains, it pours".
First he was summoned to the Renshou Palace, then to the Qianqing Palace, and now he has sprained his foot for no apparent reason. He is extremely unlucky.
The emperor frowned, looked at her deeply, turned around suddenly, put his hands behind his back, and coldly uttered the word "OK". His tone was so flat that it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Having been in a high position for many years and holding the power of life and death, his tall back exudes a majestic aura that looks down on the world.
This pressure made Yang Manyan even more frightened and he broke out in a cold sweat.
After getting permission, Xiao Yan picked her up without saying a word and strode towards the side room of the east warm pavilion.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and the emperor's eyes were filled with unclear emotions. He picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
But this not only failed to quench the heat in his body, but instead made the inexplicable irritability worse.
Suddenly, a nameless jealousy burned in his heart, difficult to calm down, and he suddenly crushed the teacup in his hand.
The broken porcelain pierced into his palm, blood slowly seeped out, but he seemed unaware, with only one thought in his mind -
This woman, Yang, cannot be kept.
On the other side, Xiao Yan gently placed the girl on the rosewood Arhat bed, carefully held up her lotus feet, gently took off her embroidered shoes and socks, and carefully checked her injuries.
This side room of the East Warm Pavilion was originally a resting place for the palace maids who kept watch at night. As the emperor never used palace maids by his side, it had been idle for many years.
The furnishings in the house are simple, but complete.
Yang Manyan never had her feet bound. Her feet are white and round, exuding a healthy and lovely beauty.
Seeing that the ankle was only slightly red and not swollen, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and began to massage it gently.
Such intimate contact made Yang Manyan blush with shame.
Xiao Yan's kneading technique was very skillful, and his eyes inadvertently fell on her rosy lips, and his throat instantly became very dry.
His hands kept moving as he slowly leaned over and gave her a light kiss on the lips: "Yuanyuan, are you feeling better?" As he spoke, he rubbed his forehead against her brows.
He had an unparalleled handsome face and clear eyes, and even though he was doing such an intimate act at this moment, he still exuded a noble and elegant demeanor, as if he were a banished immortal.
Yang Manyan's heart was beating like a drum, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Okay, it seems to be better..."
The window of the ear room was small and the light in the room was dim. As the breathing of the two people became increasingly rapid, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.
Xiao Yan's Adam's apple rolled and he teased her intentionally: "Yuanyuan, your face is so red."
Yang Manyan turned his head away guiltily, blushing and arguing: "No, I didn't..."
Xiao Yan chuckled and kissed her on the cheek again.
When Yang Manyan thought that this was the emperor's residence and that the emperor might be just across the wall, he felt ashamed and afraid, and his jade-white face became redder as if blood was about to drip out.
The next second, Xiao Yan kissed her lips again. She cried out softly, but was powerless to resist and could only let him kiss her freely.
Little did they know that there was a palm-sized hollow on the wall between the ear room and the bedroom.
It was originally set up to facilitate the night-time summoning of palace maids. After the ear room was unused, it was covered with a majestic ink-splashed landscape painting.
At this moment, the emperor's face turned pale, and he walked to the front of the painting as if possessed by a ghost and stood there motionless.
As if bewitched by some force, he held his breath and allowed his bloody hands to slowly lift the scroll.
The scene that came into his sight shocked him greatly - his son, whom he had always been proud of, was hugging a beautiful girl and kissing her affectionately.
For some reason, Yang Manyan suddenly felt a chill on his back and sensed a cold and terrifying aura in the ear room.
She quietly opened her eyes and looked around uneasily. A terrible thought flashed through her mind, and she was so scared that her whole body tensed up and she dared not look around again.
She pushed Xiao Yan's chest with all her might, her voice unclear: "Your Highness, Your Highness... Let's go back to the East Palace... Go back to the East Palace... Your Highness can do whatever he wants..."
Her eyes were red and she spoke incoherently.
Xiao Yan was still not satisfied, so he coaxed her in a low voice: "Be good, Yuanyuan, don't move. Don't be afraid, your father will go to the South Study to discuss matters after lunch every day."
Although he knew that this was inappropriate, the passionate look of the beauty in his arms made it difficult for him to control himself.
On the other side of the wall, the emperor could clearly hear the faint sounds of their kisses, and with his excellent eyesight, he could even see the tears hanging on the girl's eyelashes.
Yang Manyan always felt that there was a gloomy gaze staring at every move in the house.
But this was the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and she did not dare to delve into where the abnormality came from. She could only suppress the uneasiness in her heart.
Before his wedding, Xiao Yan thought that he was like his father and had no interest in women.
But ever since he met Yang Manyan, he was like possessed and could no longer give up this attachment.
The girl's suppressed moans seemed to reach the emperor's ears, causing his heart to surge.
His dark eyes narrowed slightly, his heart filled with regret - if he had insisted on a thorough investigation, how could he have ended up in such an awkward and embarrassing situation now?
Before leaving, Yang Manyan suddenly caught a glimpse of the empty space diagonally above the ear room.
The moment her eyes met that gaze, she felt dizzy and fainted...
