Chapter 43 Seduction
The corners of Emperor Guangxi's eyes twitched slightly, and he was somewhat incredulous at Xiao Linyuan's shamelessness.
Out of face, he ordered people to go back and get the blood Ganoderma lucidum.
At the same time, he began to suspect that Xiao Linyuan's mental state was so good, and he might have been secretly cured, so he whispered a few words in Eunuch Wan's ear.
As the chief eunuch of the imperial palace, Eunuch Wan had long since mastered the skill of concealing his emotions, but when he heard Emperor Guangxi's words, he almost lost his composure for a moment.
Xiao Linyuan observed everything and knew what this hypocrite was going to do.
His knees suddenly felt hot, he lowered his eyes and saw Song Zijin kneeling in front of him.
Looking up at him, his neck line extended from the jaw to the collarbone, outlining a heart-warming arc.
Being so close, he could even see each of her long, curled eyelashes clearly.
The soft and boneless little hands were climbing on his knees, and the clear eyes were like a pool of spring water.
His heart slipped into the spring water without him noticing, like a fish encountering water, and became lively.
Song Zijin was close enough to clearly hear Xiao Linyuan's inexplicably chaotic heartbeat.
However, she had no intention of analyzing his abnormality, because her heartbeat was obviously more abnormal since it was her first time trying to "seduce" someone.
"Your Highness, would you like some tea?" She tried to make her voice softer. Who knows if any of the palace maids serving nearby are the lackeys of that damn Xiao Jin.
Before finding your family, you have to pretend to listen to Xiao Jin.
Because they were so close, the fragrance on her body became more and more intense. Xiao Linyuan curled his right hand into a fist, and dark ink rolled in his dark eyes. "It's good to drink a little."
Song Zijin quickly lifted his sleeves and poured tea for him.
Xiao Linyuan suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Eat less. Don't eat carelessly in the palace. You should eat less too."
His voice was deep and magnetic, as if it had been soaked in strong liquor, and just listening to it made me feel numb.
Song Zijin couldn't help but shrink his shoulders, his ears turned red.
Xiao Linyuan seemed to have discovered something interesting and stared at her small ears with interest.
So cute.
Song Zijin couldn't bear his burning gaze and quickly handed him the tea, "Your Highness, please enjoy."
"My hands and feet are not very flexible~"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Xiao Linyuan felt a little regretful. Why did he sound like a lecher who was flirting with women...
To Song Zijin, these words sounded more like a coquettish act, and this was the second time.
She tried hard to ignore the ambiguous atmosphere and held the teacup to help Xiao Linyuan take a sip.
"Would you please massage the prince's legs?"
"No need." He was afraid of losing his composure.
From Xiao Jin's perspective, the two people's bodies were pressed together.
Satisfied, excited, but also unwilling, the fingers holding the teacup turned slightly white.
As early as two years ago, he was stunned by Song Zijin's appearance. She was like a flower in bud, the kind of beauty that could easily make any man intoxicated.
Even though her appearance was obscured by disguise, she was still more beautiful than all the dancers present.
He worked so hard to finally marry her. But the day before the wedding, Emperor Guangxi happened to summon Master Huiji of Qiyun Monastery, who also read his fortune.
Tell him that Song Zijin has a special fate and they cannot have sex within three years, otherwise it will destroy his luck and he will not be able to achieve anything he wants.
Because of these lives, he could not eat meat and could not enjoy happiness throughout his life.
Especially since that old man Sun Shoucheng died because he touched her some time ago, Xiao Jin became even more awed by Huiji's fortune-telling.
I just don’t know why Xiao Linyuan touched her so many times but nothing happened.
Could it be that his life span has come to an end, and the two opposites have complemented each other, leading to his return to the right path?
Emperor Guangxi was fond of pleasure, and the dancers in the Music Bureau were all beautiful and had outstanding dancing skills.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the hall gradually heated up.
At this time, a group of palace maids in cool clothes came in carrying pots of fine wine.
Emperor Guangxi was in high spirits. "My dear ministers, this is a fine wine I recently acquired, called Ember Night. I would like to share it with you all!"
Everyone hurriedly expressed their gratitude and raised their glasses along with Emperor Guangxi.
Xiao Linyuan didn't move.
"Why doesn't King Jinyue drink?" Jiang Huaihai put down his wine glass with a playful look on his face.
Jiang Huaihai was the first minister to stand on the side of Emperor Guangxi during the fight for the throne. He did not have much ability or talent, but he was good at taking advantage of opportunities and flattering others.
After Emperor Guangxi ascended the throne, he jumped from a third-rank minister to a first-rank prime minister.
"This king's body is broken and tattered, like a broken dam. The doctor has warned me not to drink."
Xiao Linyuan's voice was low and weak, and one could tell from his voice that he was extremely unwell.
Jiang Huaihai was about to say something when Emperor Guangxi stopped him with a wave of his hand. Eunuch Wan immediately presented the blood Ganoderma lucidum he had just taken.
"Blood Ganoderma can prolong life and strengthen the blood. King Jinyue only needs to drink a little, so it's fine. Could it be that I don't even have this little bit of face?"
These words were extremely serious, and the people around him quickly winked at Xiao Linyuan. It was not a good choice to offend the emperor over such a small matter.
Song Zijin gently pulled his hand under the table, frowned slightly, and signaled him not to drink.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiao Linyuan couldn't respond to her, but from her expression, he knew that the medicine in the wine was not a deadly poison.
"Feed this king."
This was the first time Song Zijin faced oppression and she suddenly felt a pang of heartache for him.
Fortunately, there wasn't much medicine in the wine, so she would find a chance to feed him some blood later.
She picked up the wine glass and gave Xiao Linyuan a sip.
Emperor Guangxi was satisfied. He looked at Song Zijin's superior profile and said meaningfully, "Prince Jinyue may not be in good health, but he has a beautiful wife. He is so lucky!"
Xiao Linyuan's face darkened slightly, and he leaned forward slightly, blocking Emperor Guangxi's sight.
"She's just a maidservant who's not worthy of being on the stage. It's not a blessing at all. If we talk about blessings, Your Majesty has the greatest blessing in the world. You have three thousand beauties in your harem, and the most outstanding ones have become your concubines."
At this moment, the dancer in the center of the hall suddenly fell down, and everyone's attention was attracted.
The dancer fell to the ground, seemingly hurt.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, her brows were slightly furrowed, and the scarlet gauze fell to the ground like petals, just like falling flowers, but she did not look embarrassed at all. There were waves in her eyes, and her red lips were slightly parted, as if she had thousands of words to say.
Emperor Guangxi narrowed his eyes and drank a glass of wine, "Hurry up and help him down!"
Eunuch Wan quickly took people to help the dancer away.
Before leaving the hall, the dancer's gaze drifted to Xiao Linyuan, but Xiao Linyuan did not look over.
As for where she was taken, no one knew.
Emperor Guangxi wanted to get up and leave anxiously, but thinking that Xiao Linyuan had just drunk some wine, he had to sit down patiently and wait to witness it with his own eyes.
While everyone was watching the dancer, Song Zijin secretly bit his fingertip and squeezed a drop of blood into the teacup.
Xiao Linyuan smelled the blood, lowered his eyes and looked, his brows unconsciously furrowed.
"What!"
Song Zijin raised his glass obediently, "Here, Your Highness, drink."
The blood beads on the wall of the cup stung Xiao Linyuan's eyes.
His Adam's apple rolled, a hint of barely perceptible anger flashed in his eyes, and his breathing became faster.
Song Zijin was frightened by his sudden cooling of the aura. Why was he suddenly angry?
She stretched her neck to follow the dancer's back. Was it because of a sudden change?
