Chapter 1 The Emperor's Death
A pair of cold hands reached into Ye Lanzhou's underwear, making her gasp for air...
She was only eighteen years old and had no experience in the world. Even though the maid in the bedroom had taught her what to do on the wedding night, she still couldn't help but feel nervous when Ye Lanzhou actually entered the room.
"Are you scared?"
Emperor Yinning's hand fell on Ye Lanzhou's face, feeling the trembling of the beauty under him.
"I am not afraid. Being able to serve Your Majesty is a blessing that my family has earned over many lifetimes."
The words were polite, but politeness is the least important thing in bed. She was so nervous that the last part of her voice trembled, sounding like she was acting coquettishly.
The man let out a low growl, the deer blood wine he had drunk an hour ago burning in his stomach. He pinched Ye Lanzhou's arm, leaving a bruise on it.
The room was incredibly cold, and the chill around her made her shiver unconsciously.
"His Majesty--"
Ye Lanzhou cried out in cold, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly froze, his purple lips brushed against her earlobe, and the hand that was pinching her wrist suddenly trembled violently.
The dragon and phoenix candles popped again, and the bright yellow curtains swayed. The sound of rain outside the window was so loud that it drowned out the sounds inside the room.
By the time the eunuch outside noticed something was wrong and rushed in, Ye Lanzhou had already closed his open collar.
Yin Ning was lying on the dragon-patterned pillow couch, his lips pale. He didn't look as scary as he had just been, but he looked very weak.
The earthy smell brought in from outside the room mixed with the fishy smell of urine in the room, causing Ye Lanzhou to frown unconsciously.
The eunuchs were in chaos, clamoring for the imperial physician to come, and the Forbidden City suddenly became a mess.
The situation only subsided slightly when the imperial physician and the chief steward arrived.
Also coming with them was Prince Rui Xie Chengyan. The black brocade ribbon over his eyes was pulled into his temples and tied into a neat knot at the back of his head. Paired with the dark black official uniform of the Nine Gates Admiral, he gave people a sense of alienation.
Ye Lanzhou knew his identity, the younger brother of Emperor Yinning. According to the rules of the Great Yin Dynasty, princes were not allowed to stay in the capital after they reached adulthood. But this prince was different. Not only did he serve as the governor of the Nine Gates in Shangjing, he was also in charge of the Shenjiying directly under the Ministry of War. His power was in Beijing, so he stayed in Beijing as well.
He had a brocade bandage covering his eyes, but he was not blind. It was said that he had injured his eyes while researching gunpowder in the Shenjiying a few years ago.
Afraid of light, likes darkness.
He just entered the room and glanced at the messy room, but his eyes first fell on the thing beside the bed, and then on Ye Lanzhou who was huddled in the corner of the bed.
She lowered her eyes, and traces of the absurdity were faintly visible on her neck. Her collar had been drawn up, but her lower body was not decent. It seemed that Yin Ning had been too harsh, and the woman looked a little embarrassed.
Ye Lanzhou's looks are indeed the character's. With a pair of slightly upturned phoenix eyes, he looks like a seductive fox.
That slim figure has all the flesh where it should be. How does it look like the figure of an eighteen-year-old girl?
Ye Lanzhou hadn't expected a man from outside to enter the room. Seeing this, she opened the quilt on the bed and covered herself with it, saying in a delicate voice, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
Xie Chengyan's face was cold, and his gaze did not linger on Ye Lanzhou for long. He ordered the eunuch beside him: "Send Lady Ye back."
The young eunuch agreed, and Ye Lanzhou was escorted out by several people. She breathed a sigh of relief the moment she left the room.
Fortunately, she had learned acupuncture techniques from her father, and she was able to calm Yin Ning down with three golden needles to seal his acupoints. Otherwise, if he had died during sex with her, she would have died today.
Ye Lanzhou saw that Yin Ning was about to die. He had indulged in excessive sexual activities and drank three large bowls of deer blood wine for sex. His symptoms just now were really horrifying. Now he could only stabilize his pulse, and he estimated that he would die in a few days.
Although his pulse was stabilized, Ye Lanzhou knew that he could not escape death.
The Dayin Kingdom had a system of burying people alive with their dead. The emperor had to be buried with his wives. These women were called "Chaotian Nu". Those who had children did not have to worry, but the rest had to be worried.
The Dayin Kingdom had few descendants of this generation, with only Xie Xun, born under the name of Concubine Xu.
At the moment, Concubine Xu has nothing to worry about, and neither do the powerful people in her family. The ones who are worried are those of them who have no one to rely on.
Only Ye Lanzhou's identity is special. As the daughter of an imperial physician, she married into the palace to bring happiness to the emperor. It is estimated that she cannot escape being buried alive with the emperor.
As soon as she was sent back to the bedroom, the maid Wangshu hurried out to greet her. She was obviously aware of what was happening in the palace. She waited until no one was around before she dared to speak: "Master, I heard that the Emperor..."
Ye Lanzhou also lowered his voice: "It's no use. The wind is coming soon. It will only take two days."
Wangshu knew that his master was skilled in acupuncture and had some medical knowledge. He was completely anxious when he heard her say this. He said in a panic, "What should we do, Master? You have only been in the palace for a few days, and you have already encountered such a thing. We should not have agreed when the eldest lady asked us to. We were originally marrying the eldest daughter. What does this have to do with you?"
Is it up to her to decide whether she wants to or not about the affairs of the mansion? The Ye family seems to be poor and harmonious, but only those in the mansion know that the Ye family is a place that eats people and leaves no bones. She finally got out of there, but she didn't expect to be involved in such a thing again.
Ye Lanzhou herself had no idea at the moment, but she absolutely could not die so easily. How could the life and death of a foolish emperor determine her life and death?
That night, rumors were rife in the palace, and everyone was in a state of panic. Several sisters who lived close to her also spoke up for Ye Lanzhou during their casual chats, saying that it was pitiful that she had to accompany Yin Ning to the afterlife before consummating the marriage.
In fact, she doesn't care whether the marriage is consummated or not. The feeling of the jade dildo is already uncomfortable, so how can she bear it if it goes on?
The news of Yin Ning's death came quickly. That day was the end of an autumn rain. The sun slowly rose from behind the dark clouds, but the palace was full of white banners. The palace maids and eunuchs all changed into mourning clothes and shuttled between the palaces. Everyone knew what was going on without anyone reporting to them.
But when Ye Lanzhou knelt down to listen to the order, she still felt a little dazed.
Sure enough, she was on the list of women who worshipped the sky.
Not only that, the Queen also hoped for her death, because on the night of Ye Lanzhou's wedding, Yin Ning was supposed to go to the Queen, but later on a whim, she wanted to favor the new noble lady in the palace, so she went to Ye Lanzhou.
The people from the Imperial Household Department worked extremely quickly, making it seem as if they had prepared it in advance, especially the list of women to be crowned emperors, which came right after the news of Yin Ning's death, leaving no one a chance to breathe.
As the sun set behind the mountain, the Forbidden City was covered with a thin layer of fog after an autumn rain, which added a bit of the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the imperial residence.
When Empress Xiao and eight maids broke into Ye Lanzhou's bedroom, Ye Lanzhou was mixing spices at the table.
