this……"
Even under the influence of alcohol, Prince Rui was well aware that everything he possessed was given to him by his father.
If you offend the emperor, he might openly steal one of his concubines.
If word gets out, wouldn't that be like humiliating my father?
Seeing his hesitation, Mi Shan understood.
It seems that despite his lustful nature, he still knows who he should and shouldn't be with.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Mi Shante concocted a poisonous incense for him, and with a wave of his hand, pink smoke drifted by.
Prince Rui swayed and then collapsed with a thud.
"The incense can make you sleep for two hours and give you a wonderful dream."
Mi Shan, with her sleeves tucked in, lowered her eyes quietly, kicked the man at her feet, and confirmed that Prince Rui had fainted.
Only then did they begin to work, laboriously dragging him onto the bed.
Then he lay down.
She undressed beside him.
She had no intention of truly giving herself to this lecherous man.
It was just for show, spending the night lying next to him.
When the people arrive, she will make a big fuss about it.
Even becoming a concubine or maidservant is better than dying.
Mi Shan pondered as she removed her outer robe and inner garment, leaving only a close-fitting red bodice on her upper body, and was about to lie down.
Slow footsteps sounded outside the door.
Are you here?
She was ready, and pretended to scream in panic.
But then they heard the man's cold voice.
"Third brother, you've gone to sleep. I've come to have a drink with you."
Mi Shan's pretty face turned pale instantly; she recognized the voice in a split second!
It darted up like a rabbit and hid behind the screen.
Using the cutouts in the printed pattern.
She saw that the person who came was wearing black and gold boots, a long robe with a black python pattern, and had cold and fierce eyes.
A chilling aura emanated from Sen Ling's body.
A pair of stunningly beautiful phoenix eyes, revealing an unfathomable depth.
It was none other than His Highness the Crown Prince!
"It's him again!"
Mi Shan's vision went black.
Every time I have a full plan, I'm sure to run into this troublemaker.
Does he have trouble sleeping because he's done too many bad things?
What time is it? Why aren't they staying in their Eastern Palace?
"Who?" Li Changyu took a step forward and suddenly smelled the lingering cold fragrance in the air!
His cold, sharp brows furrowed, and his sword was suddenly drawn.
"Get out here!"
The sword struck so fast that Mi Shan had almost no time to react; even at top speed, he could only barely dodge it.
The longsword pierced through the gilded plum blossom screen and sliced her arm.
Her snow-white skin instantly flushed red.
The sword got caught on her light pink coat and couldn't be pulled off.
Mi Shan had no choice but to cover her wound and desperately climb out of the window to escape.
The moment Li Changyu stepped over the screen, he saw a woman clutching her injured arm, her entire body wrapped only in a thin red bodice.
Clutching the dress she hadn't had time to put on, she jumped out of the window.
The long hem of her skirt slid past the windowsill.
She met his gaze in a panic, bit her lip in shame, and lowered her head.
They fled in haste.
The cold moonlight shone down on her bare, thin back.
In an instant, the figure disappeared into the grass, hidden by the blooming flowers and bushes.
"It's her..."
Li Changyu frowned, his cold and handsome face shrouded in frost.
He drew his longsword.
Clutching the blood-stained coat tightly.
His eyes were filled with a chilling aura.
She's incredibly bold... she's willing to risk her life just to climb the social ladder.
Turning around, she went to Li Yu's bedside and saw him sleeping soundly, snoring and muttering to himself.
"My beauty, let's go again... This time, I'll be on top..."
His face instantly darkened.
"Smack!"
With a cold face, she grabbed Li Yu by the collar and slapped him across the face.
"Wake up."
He picked up the wine on the table and poured it over him!
The splashing of liquor flooded my mouth and nose.
"Cough cough!" Li Yu finally woke up with a cough.
Opening my eyes, the first thing I saw was my second brother's cold and handsome face.
The sinister gaze made his heart skip a beat.
She rolled over and got out of bed.
"Second Brother! It's you! Where is my beauty?!"
"Beauty, I think you're blinded by lust. You'd be happy to die at her feet."
"Strange, I was just talking to Shan'er a moment ago, how come in the blink of an eye..."
"idiot!"
Li Changyu was too lazy to waste words with him, and coldly retorted sarcastically.
"You'll fall for lust sooner or later."
Li Yu wasn't angry; he just scratched his head.
“Brother Wang is right. Since we’re already here, why not sit down and have a drink?”
"I'm not in the mood."
Li Changyu gripped the long robe in his hand with a cold expression.
"Brother, you may not know, but this beauty, though lovely, is a woman chosen by Father Emperor for the imperial concubine selection."
If she were an ordinary person, I might have had a chance to win her heart; now it seems I can only resort to desperate measures.
Li Yu poured himself a drink, gazing enviously at the flickering candlelight.
Li Changyu suddenly raised an eyebrow.
He became somewhat intrigued: "Oh?"
"She's a concubine selected for the imperial concubine selection?"
She is about to become a subject and a wife... yet she remains so restless.
Li Changyu suddenly became a little curious about her.
Pushing open the door, he stepped out, his snake-like eyes slanted upwards to his temples, revealing an unfathomable sharpness.
-
Red walls and golden tiles.
Willows sway gently in the breeze.
The grand procession of young women, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, marched along the palace wall.
Despite the scorching sun, the young women looked radiant.
Only one person looked uninterested and listless.
He didn't look like someone who came to a talent show at all; he looked more like someone who was attending a funeral.
"Why are you all making such a long face! Smile! Being selected to enter the palace is a blessing you've earned in eight lifetimes! If any of you are chosen by His Majesty, that would be an even greater celebration for your entire families. Cheer up!"
