Chapter 344: Ma Gang Leader and Xiao Meiren
Concubine Xiao had something important to do tonight and could not serve the emperor. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, unable to sit or lie on the bed. If those people came and were discovered by the emperor, they would be dead.
Suddenly, the emperor seemed to sense Concubine Xiao's uneasiness. He opened his eyes and asked in confusion, "My beloved concubine, what's wrong? Can't you sleep?"
When Concubine Xiao saw him suddenly wake up, she was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, I saw that the emperor had not taken off his clothes, so I wanted to help him take them off. However, I was pregnant and weak, so I couldn't move the emperor. I didn't dare to disturb the emperor, so I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I disturbed you."
Concubine Xiao spoke in a very helpless and considerate manner, which amused the emperor.
He smiled, held Lady Xiao in his arms, and said softly, "I thought something was wrong. I'll get up and take off my clothes right away."
Concubine Xiao nodded helplessly, thinking that if the emperor really wanted to rest here, she would have to use a drug to knock him out.
The emperor stood up and was about to take off his clothes when he heard an urgent knock at the palace gate. The emperor paused and left the bedroom, asking the eunuch guarding outside to go and see who was knocking on the door.
Soon the young eunuch returned and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, it was the maid from Concubine Shu's palace. She said Concubine Shu is feeling unwell in her stomach and asked Your Majesty to come over and take a look."
The emperor frowned and said unhappily, "She has a stomachache, so she should call the imperial physician. I am not an imperial physician, so how can I cure her stomachache?"
What the emperor hated most was this kind of person who used the dragon seed in his belly to make a demon. If he felt uncomfortable, it was because of his heart.
"Your Majesty, please go and see Sister Shufei. What if she is really feeling unwell? I am fine here."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the voice of Concubine Xiao was heard. She was anxiously persuading the emperor.
The emperor looked at Concubine Xiao expressionlessly, but he felt a little relieved in his heart. He was really worried about the baby in Concubine Shu's belly.
Seeing that his expression had eased a little, Concubine Xiao continued to cheer him up, "Your Majesty, Sister Shufei must be very sad, otherwise she wouldn't have come to call you so late. Please go over and see her."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is really feeling unwell. Your Majesty begs you to go and see her."
The palace maid outside the palace gate knelt at the door and shouted again.
The emperor turned a deaf ear to him. He glanced at Concubine Xiao and felt that she was acting strange tonight, as if she couldn't wait for him to leave.
"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like this? Did I say something wrong?"
Concubine Xiao felt uneasy when the emperor looked at her. She looked at the emperor in surprise and asked.
The emperor looked at her deeply and said, "Well, my beloved concubine, take a good rest. I will go over and take a look."
"Okay, I will respectfully send your Majesty off."
Concubine Xiao quickly saluted the emperor and hurriedly sent him out of the palace.
After the emperor left the palace, he looked back at Concubine Xiao who was still standing in the palace. Seeing that she was still staring at him with a reluctant look, the emperor wondered if he was being too suspicious. She really cared about his dragon seed.
The emperor waved to Concubine Xiao, then strode away with the palace maid.
When the emperor was no longer in sight, Concubine Xiao's expression darkened and she asked the nanny to close the palace gate.
As soon as the palace gate was closed, she hurried back to her bedroom and asked the nannies, eunuchs and palace maids who served her to stay outside and not disturb her as she was going to sleep. Then she closed the bedroom door.
The palace maids, eunuchs and nannies didn't think anything was wrong. In such weather and so late, and with Concubine Xiao pregnant, it was normal for her to be anxious to sleep. Without thinking too much, everyone just waited outside.
But Lady Xiao was not asleep. She changed her previous gentle look, her eyes were stern, and she came to a small compartment, which was specially used to store her things. She opened the door of a wardrobe, reached out and knocked on the back of the wardrobe, and soon, the same knocking sound came from the back.
Lady Xiao quickly and gently pushed open the back of the wardrobe. There was a secret hidden behind the wardrobe. There was actually a secret passage. After the door was opened, a group of people came out from behind. The leader was none other than Gang Leader Ma, followed by the twenty masters.
They were all dressed as eunuchs.
"Why did it take so long to open?"
As soon as the leader of the Ma gang came out, he said unhappily that they had been hiding in the tunnel for so long and thought that Lady Xiao was going to turn against them.
Concubine Xiao quickly bowed to him and said, "Master, it's not that I didn't come in time to open the door, but that the dog emperor just left."
"Oh? Is he in love with you?"
Gang leader Ma had a gloomy face and looked at Concubine Xiao unkindly. He had sent Concubine Xiao into the palace with the purpose of having her serve as a contact person in the palace. She did not need the emperor to favor her too much, as long as she could stay safely in the palace and open the door for him when he needed her.
Seeing that Gang Leader Ma was angry, Concubine Xiao knelt down hurriedly and said, "Master, you misunderstood. I don't know what the dog emperor is crazy about. He puts his subordinate in the harem and ignores him. I suddenly remembered your subordinate a while ago. I was obviously cold and indifferent to him, but he just likes to come to me."
Gang Leader Ma said sternly, "I don't care whether you have feelings for the Dog Emperor, but you'd better remember your identity. If you do anything that goes against my authority, you know what I'll do."
When Lady Xiao heard what Gang Leader Ma said, her body couldn't help but tremble. She was well aware of Gang Leader Ma's methods. If you betray him, he can make you want to live but not to die, and will also bring disaster to your family.
When harm comes to a family, the leader of the Ma Gang will not kill them all at once, but will come one by one, bring them to the betrayer, and torture his (her) family to death in front of the betrayer. Then the second one, the third one...
Such means can make people collapse and drive them crazy, so no one dares to betray Gang Leader Ma.
Lady Xiao immediately assured, "Yes, I will never betray my master."
"Hmph! Even if you had ten times the courage, you wouldn't dare betray me. Get up! I've been traveling all night and I'm tired. I need to rest. Just wake me up tomorrow morning."
Gang Leader Ma snorted coldly and said coldly, then waved to the twenty masters behind him. The twenty people walked towards the main hall. The twenty masters immediately hid in the palace, while Gang Leader Ma lay on Lady Xiao's bed.
Smelling the emperor's scent, Gang Leader Ma threw the quilt away in disgust and asked Concubine Xiao to bring him another quilt.
Lady Xiao did as she was told immediately and quickly brought him a new quilt. After covering him with it, she took off her clothes and got on the bed, lying next to Gang Leader Ma.
Seeing that she was so tactful, Gang Leader Ma turned around, looked at her stunning face, and then moved forward. Soon, inappropriate noises were heard from the bed.
