Chapter 28 Chapter 28 (Updated content on May 27 and 28)...
"Just like the emperor loves his concubine, he will still withdraw her and kill her in times of trouble to vent his anger, right?"
Lingchuan's calmness frightened Gu Shi. He held her in his arms as if he were holding a python that was about to strangle his neck at any moment.
"Love is just a feeling. It means nothing. It doesn't matter if you have it or not."
Before Gu Shi could react to Ling Chuan's cold-blooded words, a servant came to the door and announced:
"Your Majesty, Lord Li requests an audience."
Just then, someone came to interrupt Gu Shi's delusion. She curled the corners of her mouth, got off Gu Shi's body swiftly, and clapped her hands.
"I don't want to listen to your official jargon. It makes me yawn. Instead of listening to these government affairs, I'd rather go out for a walk and digest my food."
She went out and walked along a winding path. There were densely planted bamboos on both sides of the path, which provided some shade. The gusty breeze made her feel a little cold.
Suddenly, she met a pair of sparkling eyes. She quickly glanced at the small mole under the eye and lowered her head in shame.
"Master Qin..."
She didn't even know how to address Qin Sizhao.
But now is not the time to reminisce about the past. She must explain everything quickly. If he does something rash, his life might be in danger.
Human life is at stake. No matter how embarrassed she is, she has to lose face.
Lingchuan imagined himself as a puppet that could speak, and said woodenly:
"Sir Qin, I did not trespass into the imperial palace. It was His Majesty who wanted to take me into the harem."
She didn't care about any obscure or profound expressions and blurted out the words in a hurry.
"Miss Lingchuan..."
He didn't seem surprised at all, just looked at her with some worry.
There was no one around here, so Lingchuan couldn't stay too long.
"Take care."
Leaving only these words, she hurried forward, but was suddenly pulled back by Qin Sizhao.
He held her wrist, which was exactly where Gu Shi had just touched his cheek. Lingchuan blushed in embarrassment.
"Are you really willing?"
Qin Sizhao asked quietly, his voice like the rustling of wind through bamboo leaves. He was not questioning her, nor did he expect her to say what he wanted to hear.
"Whether you're willing or not...it's all the same...living for thirty years is living, living for fifty years is living, it makes no difference anyway."
Lingchuan couldn't lie to him, so he could only smile bitterly, his nose feeling slightly sore.
She was still as bad at lying as ever.
"Rong'er, I'm not afraid. I just want to ask if you're willing to gamble with me."
Lingchuan cursed with tears in his eyes:
"Qin Sizhao, are you crazy? I can risk my life, but can you?"
Gu Shi might show leniency to her, but he would never let Qin Sizhao off easily. He could use his power to crush him as easily as crushing an ant.
She flicked her sleeves and retracted her hand. Qin Sizhao also retracted his hand and lowered his head and said:
"I am someone who deserves to be cut into pieces..."
"Stop, stop talking, let's leave it at that. If you hadn't gotten involved with me, you would have had a bright future. Remember, you've never even known me."
Lingchuan interrupted him and left in a hurry. She didn't want to delay too long. If she delayed too long, she would not be able to help but ask him for help like a poisonous snake trapped in a trap.
She knew that she would drag him down and even kill him, but she still wanted him to help her. It was simply shameless.
She gritted her teeth, making sure no sound came out of her throat, and just kept moving forward.
She didn't want him to find out that she was such a shameful person.
The phrase "being cut into pieces a thousand times would not be too much" was just said to appease her. His eyes were so innocent, how could he have done anything bad?
She didn't cry, but just kept walking forward. She didn't know where she was going. She walked around, but she couldn't get out of this huge palace.
Now that things have come to this, why is she still being so pretentious?
Everyone has his own destiny, so just accept it.
Lingchuan wanted to break her kneecap, then pierce her collarbone with the hairpin, and finally break her spine. She didn't know how to break it, but she really wanted to do it now.
In front of us is a quiet little lake with round water lilies on the water, piled up on the water like flattened human heads.
Lingchuan stood by the water, lost in thought, her thoughts cut into pieces and flashing before her eyes. In the end, she did nothing and just walked away silently.
"My Lady, I have been looking for you for a long time..."
Aoba hurried over, his cheeks flushed.
"There are some layoffs in the palace now, and not everyone is available to serve. If anything happens to you, what will I do?"
"That's right, I just want to be alone for a while."
Lingchuan said expressionlessly.
"Ah? What if there's no one to serve us?"
"Qingye, have you ever experienced being alone?"
Lingchuan asked.
Qingye was stunned by the question.
"A slave is supposed to serve others, either keeping watch with other slaves or serving the master. I have never been lazy, so how could I ever be alone?"
"If you have some free time, you can give it a try."
Lingchuan looked at her in a daze, as if she was not standing there.
“Being alone will make the world in front of you blur, reorganize, and finally become what you want it to be.”
She looked at the plump leaves of the water lilies. Now they were just leaves, floating green on the water.
Qingye didn't understand what she said and just responded vaguely.
"Take me back."
Lingchuan only made a seemingly plausible request. She was a little curious about where Qingye would take her back to, but the result was unremarkable. Qingye only took her back to Congcui Palace, her and Gu Shi's bedroom.
The sun was high in the afternoon, and the sun shone on the roses, making the colors of the flowers very eye-catching.
A strange woman's voice was heard from under the shade of the trees behind the Congcui Palace. The voice was evil, longing, and a bit suppressed and restrained.
Qingye's expression changed instantly.
"Your Highness, I wonder who has done such a shameless thing in broad daylight. I'm afraid it has tainted your eyes. This person must be severely punished. Please wait here while I handle it."
Lingchuan sneered:
"I've done shameless things thousands of times, and you're still a teenage girl, so why don't you let me go and watch."
Qingye's expression changed and he said:
"It was my fault for speaking out of turn. I deserve to be beaten."
She was about to slap herself, but she only saw Lingchuan's back, so she stopped quickly and hurriedly followed him.
"Your Majesty...it was my fault for speaking carelessly..."
Under the shade of the tree, Jinzhan saw that there was no one around, so she pressed her face against the cat's head, feeling the warm and soft little body.
"Hehehehe...kitten...hehehehe..."
Jinzhan kissed the kitten's face wildly and laughed shrilly and weirdly.
The kitten made a charming and helpless meow while gently waving its pink pads.
The main feature of Jinzhan cat petting is to be rough when it is necessary, gentle when it is necessary, and finally to hold the cat in your arms with satisfaction and cherish it.
"Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! Cough cough cough cough..."
The cat's hair flew all over the sky like knife-cut noodles, and danced into Jinzhan's gaping bloody mouth.
"Quack...why is it Miss Lingchuan!"
Before Jinzhan could pull the cat hair out of her mouth, her face turned red.
Her ugly appearance of being crazy about cats was exposed to Lingchuan and Qingye. It was really terrible. She had just started working in the palace, and not only was she caught being lazy, but she also made such a joke.
Qingye, who was furious and ready to catch the adulterer, was petrified on the spot. Lingchuan couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Pfft... Hahahahaha... I thought it was just some noise, but it turned out to be you..."
Although Jinzhan was very embarrassed, she did not forget to hug the cute little kitten tightly.
"Meow……"
The cat's voice was charming and sweet, with a hint of grievance.
"Hahaha, do you know what the noise you make sounds like? Jinzhan?"
Lingchuan covered his mouth and couldn't help laughing.
Jinzhan couldn't help but blush and came over to play with Lingchuan.
"Girl, you're talking nonsense!"
Seeing Jinzhan making a fool of herself, Lingchuan felt a little better and patted his sleeves.
"Why are you rubbing all your cat hair on me... This little white cat is really shedding hair everywhere."
Jinzhan covered the little white cat's ears pretentiously.
"Baby, she's talking nonsense, we won't listen."
The cat responded coquettishly, indicating that she heard it.
Qingye stood aside, feeling extremely embarrassed, and whispered:
"My lady, I heard it wrong."
"Well, go do your own thing. I have the golden cup here."
Jinzhan followed her into Congcui Palace with the cat in her arms. Lingchuan sat on the bed, undressed, and prepared to take a nap.
Even if she didn't sleep, she had nothing to do. She would keep daydreaming while awake, so she might as well just sleep.
The kitten looked around, jumped lightly onto her bed, and nudged her palm.
The cat rubbed her neck and began to purr and knead her long hair.
Lingchuan vaguely felt something rubbing against her neck and said:
"Gu Shi, stop rubbing."
The thing seemed unwilling to stop and began to lick her neck. Seeing that she didn't respond, it moved to her chest and kissed her face.
Lingchuan opened his eyes impatiently and started cursing, but what he saw was a round kitten's face.
The cat blinked, meowed happily, and rubbed its head against her cheek affectionately.
Gu Shi just sat aside and watched her.
"Lingchuan, I'm here."
Lingchuan cursed softly, patted the cat's butt and told it to get off the bed.
"I feel so wronged. You scolded me for nothing."
There was a hint of grievance in his voice, and Lingchuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"You have wronged me, how can you apologize to me?"
He sat on her bed and reached out to brush away the hair that had fallen on her collarbone.
"Tsk... I'll scold you if I want to. Can't you do that?"
Lingchuan stiffened his neck, showing no guilt at all.
He leaned down and pressed his lips to her neck, sucking and biting it, leaving a bright red mark.
"That way the scolding is justified."
Suddenly, Gu Shi felt something itchy on his mouth, but he couldn't find it. It would be too rude to spit something out in front of Lingchuan, so his face turned pale and blue.
"Gu Shi, you ate cat hair, didn't you?"
Lingchuan covered his mouth to stifle his laughter.
Although Gu Shi got the upper hand, he also got embarrassed. He hoped that Lingchuan would always see him as respectable and polite. He didn't like to make a fool of himself in front of Lingchuan.
He turned his back and, after much effort, finally pulled out the cat hair stuck to his tongue, saying angrily:
"Don't ask the raccoon slave to get on the bed anymore. It's too hairy."
"Humph, you still care about such a small matter."
Lingchuan curled his lips.
"Why, you like that kind of flattery?"
"It didn't do anything wrong. It just wanted to get closer to me."
"Oh, so you'll allow anyone who wants to be close to you?"
He hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, with a hint of jealousy in his tone.
"It's just a little beast, and now you're jealous too?"
"Am I not qualified?"
He looked closely at her neck, making sure there was no pesky cat hair, and kissed her again.
When he asked this, Lingchuan suddenly felt sad and didn't know how to answer.
She lay down, covered her head with the quilt, and said in a muffled voice:
"roll."
Gu Shi forcibly lifted her quilt. Lingchuan's eyes were red, but she didn't cry.
His strange jealousy reminded her of the small mole at the corner of Qin Sizhao's eye.
She suppressed all the messy ominous thoughts and uneasiness and pretended nothing had happened.
Lingchuan's mind was in a mess and she didn't notice a kiss on her lips. Seeing that she was distracted, Gu Shi gently bit her again.
"Don't hide, look at me."
There was a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Where do you want to escape to?"
Lingchuan felt a chill down his spine for no apparent reason, and sneered:
"Why, can't you even escape into bed?"
He took off his outer clothes and lay on the bed wearing only his underwear. He hugged Lingchuan and sought intimacy with her, but he had no intention of seeking sex.
"That's the way it's going to work."
Gu Shi's body was warm, but Lingchuan felt increasingly frightened by this possessiveness. She instinctively dodged, but was pulled deeper into his arms.
"Don't move, I'll hold you and take a nap."
Lingchuan moved awkwardly twice, and he kissed her cheek.
"If you want to do something else, that's fine."
"Let me go."
"What did you say?"
He squeezed her wrist hard, with a threatening force.
"Let me go!"
Lingchuan bit his neck and held on like a snake, refusing to let go, her teeth digging deep into his flesh.
Gu Shi actually endured it. He pursed his lips and some cold sweat appeared on his forehead because of the pain.
The pain moved from his extremely sensitive neck all the way down to his chest, causing his heart to swell slightly.
Walking down further, it twisted completely into a spiral, bringing a tingling itch, and his lower body received a signal that was completely opposite to the pain.
Perhaps she felt she had vented enough, or perhaps she was impatient, Lingchuan opened her mouth, licked the blood from her teeth, and only smelled a faint fishy smell.
There was a bloody tooth mark on his neck. Gu Shi had a blank expression on his face, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. He just turned over and pressed on Lingchuan.
Without saying a word, he untied the loose and precarious belt of her tunic. In just a few seconds, a small piece of skin under her collarbone was exposed to the slightly cold air.
Gu Shi's black hair hung down and scratched her cheeks. Lingchuan couldn't help but shiver all over.
The excitement and fear brought by the smell of blood mixed together, blending into a kind of pleasure that made her whole body numb.
