The candles in the east wing were all extinguished, and the maids were asleep in the lower chambers. Lulu, believing her mistress was with the emperor, withdrew even from the night watch.
My sister jumped onto the roof, quietly lifted the tiles, and looked down.
"Do you know the maidservant next to Concubine Yue?"
Heidan jumped in front of her without saying a word.
My sister had no choice but to pick it up, put it in her palm and asked again.
Heidan twisted his body and said, "Of course I know them. I know most of the people in your palace."
"Go down now, wake her up, and then lead her to the main house to stop that Lin Yulang."
"To be rewarded."
My sister stared at it for a long moment, then said coldly, "Are you going or not?"
This look was like the frost in autumn and the snow in winter. Heidan shuddered, then ran down and did as he was told.
Lulu was awakened by a gust of cold air and quickly got up and looked around.
Outside the window, I saw the midnight moonlight pouring down onto the ground. Everything was so quiet that even the footsteps of the patrolling guards could no longer be heard.
She scratched her hair and was about to fall down again when the bedroom door suddenly creaked. The sound was particularly clear in the midnight when it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Lulu quickly rolled over and got down to the ground, wearing only her outer robe. "Who?!"
A tall figure stood in front of the open door, and judging by his figure, he should be a man.
Lu Lu was horrified and was about to shout when the man stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Where is your queen?"
With the help of moonlight, Lulu could see clearly that this person was Lin Yulang, the emperor's favorite.
Lulu did not dare to neglect him for a moment and said, "Our queen is sleeping with His Majesty. She has not returned tonight and should be back tomorrow morning."
Lin Yulang's face was solemn, and doubts suddenly arose in his heart. Is Concubine Yue sleeping with the Emperor?
This vixen! Lin Yulang didn't think much about it for a moment. He turned around and left, eager to find the emperor to verify it. He even felt panic in his heart. His Majesty would not lie to him, but just wanted to use this excuse to get rid of him.
Lin Yulang became even more panicked when he thought of the many handsome men lurking around the emperor, eager to compete for his favor.
Lulu looked at Lin Yulang who was rushing back and forth in a daze. She thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She looked at the quiet dormitory and went back to sleep.
The younger sister was lying on the eaves, and when she saw Lin Yulang hurriedly running towards the emperor's bedroom, she knew that the crisis was over.
"Why don't you continue chasing?" Heidan looked at the people who were standing still curiously.
"The Emperor's residence is undoubtedly more heavily guarded than the concubines' quarters. If I were to follow them rashly and get caught, they'd easily track me down to the Empress. So we won't go there," my sister said as she sat up and placed her sword across her knees. "I'll stay here."
Heidan jumped onto her knees, then found a place by the scabbard of his sword and lay down.
Lin Yulang rushed all the way back to the emperor's residence, only to see the lights on. The emperor had not yet gone to bed, and he could hear the decadent music from afar.
As expected, while I was away, the Emperor took advantage of other male favorites. Could it be that Concubine Yue was among them?!
The eunuch guarding the door saw him coming and quickly stopped him, saying, "Master Yulang, please stay. His Majesty has not summoned you tonight."
"Then who is in the room now?" Lin Yulang patiently handed the money to the eunuch.
The eunuch said respectfully, "It's Concubine Yue."
"What?!" Lin Yulang's lips paled instantly. The Emperor had personally promised him to go to Concubine Yue tonight, yet he had turned around and summoned her to his bed. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to leave him empty-handed, a teasing move, or perhaps a test to see if he would actually go? The thought of this possibility sent Lin Yulang into a sweat, filled with inexplicable fear.
The emperor's mind is hard to predict. What happened tonight made Lin Yulang even more confused about what the emperor meant!
Lin Yulang, who was too frightened, knelt down on the stone steps, waiting for the emperor's questioning the next day.
The night passed quickly.
The curtains of the dragon bed fell to the ground. The emperor turned over lazily and hugged the person beside him skillfully, "Yulang..."
"Your Majesty, it's me." A soft and charming female voice suddenly came, which startled the emperor and woke him up completely. He even rolled off the bed and stared at the woman on the bed in amazement!
The woman lazily crawled out of the quilt, revealing her snow-white body with beautiful curves. There were faint red marks on her neck and wrists. The scent on her body also showed how extravagant and absurd last night was.
"Yue... Concubine Yue, why are you here?!" The emperor stood up again, but his hands were still shaking violently. Did he really touch this woman last night?! How come he didn't feel disgusted or disgusted at all? No, this couldn't be true.
"Your Majesty treated me like that last night. Now at dawn, are you going to pull up your pants and deny your identity?" The woman's breath was as fragrant as orchid, and her originally fair and lovely face was made to look extremely charming and sexy.
The Emperor felt that the Yue Fei today was somewhat different from what he had seen before, but then he thought that perhaps she had really enjoyed his favor last night, so it was normal for her to be so charming. He stood barefoot, feeling a sense of tragic grandeur, like drawing a sword and looking around in confusion.
It was all because I drank too much last night and touched this woman. The emperor climbed back onto the bed and tentatively touched her, but a wave of disgust still surged in his heart, so he quickly let go and stopped touching her.
"Go back. What happened last night is what happened." The emperor looked at her with a cold expression. "Just don't forget your mission."
The woman smiled and gracefully got down to the ground, put on her palace dress again, and said nothing more, "Then I will take my leave now."
Several palace maids and eunuchs escorted her out of the room and prepared to send her back to the east wing.
Lin Yulang, kneeling outside, watched Concubine Yue emerge with a look of noble elegance. He finally became convinced that the Emperor had indeed summoned her to his bed the previous night. His mouth was dry, and he lowered his head in despair, not daring to look again. The Emperor must have been testing him last night to see if he might harbor any erotic thoughts about his concubine.
Yue Fei raised her hand and seductively adjusted her hair bun. She turned her head and saw Lin Yulang kneeling there. She walked over and looked down at him.
"Are you Lin Yulang?"
Lin Yulang pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Even if you don't tell me, I recognize you. You'd better remember your identity and know what you should and shouldn't touch."
Everyone looked at the imposing Concubine Yue and thought that being favored was different, and her aura had changed.
Yue Fei lowered her gaze to Lin Yulang's crotch, where his clothes were covering his body. "If you dare to have any improper thoughts again, be careful with that little thing of yours."
She leaned forward slightly, stared at Lin Yulang, and made a slashing knife gesture in front of him.
Lin Yulang's lips turned pale, and he trembled with fear. He looked in horror at the drastically changed Yue Fei before him. Could it be that this woman's previous innocence was all a facade, and after enjoying his pleasure for one night and achieving her goal, her true colors were revealed?!
"Let's go. You continue to kneel here." After saying this, Yue Fei led everyone back to the side room in a grand manner.
The younger sister lay on the roof and kept watch all night. When she saw Yue Fei really come back from outside, she was a little surprised: Did she really go to the emperor's bedchamber?
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to stay out all night.
The Queen repeatedly asked me to give her a kitten, but this is nothing!
The younger sister suddenly felt a little angry for the queen, but there was nothing she could do for the moment. She could only get up and return to the queen as quickly as possible to report to her what had happened last night and let the queen make her own decision.
When Lulu heard the noise outside, she hurried out and saw the palace maids and eunuchs beside the emperor personally escorting the empress back, and she knew that what happened last night was accomplished.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty." Lulu hurriedly bowed and saluted, with a beaming face.
Yue Fei looked at her, then without saying anything, pushed the door open and went in. Lu Lu quickly followed behind her and began to chatter non-stop.
Halfway through listening, she couldn't bear it anymore and scratched her ears, "Lulu, you step back."
"Empress?" Lulu felt that the returning Empress was strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange. She just felt that she was much more unfamiliar.
"I'm tired and want to lie down for a while. Go down and make some soup, preferably sour plum soup." She instructed casually.
Lulu quickly agreed.
When there was no one around, the Yue Fei quickly relaxed her hands and feet. It was very tiring to keep tense like this!
She walked all the way to the bed, looked at the guy sleeping soundly in the quilt, and snored, "You are comfortable, go back and sleep, call me over and let me busy myself."
As she spoke, she bent down and pulled the cat ears of someone who was still sleeping.
Liu Qinglan was sleeping soundly when someone suddenly pulled his ear. He quickly opened his eyes, and then his whole body turned into a human form.
There was a naked body in the quilt. Liu Qinglan quickly changed into a palace skirt, which was still the pomegranate flower skirt from yesterday. Then she looked around and thought, where did the beautiful queen go? Why was she lying in the room?
She quickly touched her chest again and felt a mark there. She felt relieved immediately. The love affair she had concluded last night was a success!
After confirming it, she looked up happily and saw a girl who looked exactly like her standing in front of the bed. She covered her chest and leaned back, "Hey, why are you here!"
The one in front of him was a sharp-nosed snake that had cultivated into a spirit. It had been living in Huoshan and had known Liu Qinglan for many years. The two met because they were competing for the same prey.
The sharp-nosed snake sat limply on the edge of her bed, and its tail was already eagerly exposed from under its palace skirt to get some fresh air.
"You were the one who called me here in the middle of the night by meowing? Have you forgotten?" the sharp-nosed snake said unhappily.
Liu Qinglan woke up from a hangover and covered his head, "Why can't I remember anything?"
"So you were drunk." The sharp-nosed snake chuckled secretly. "It seems you weren't in vain in the forest. Even drunk, you could sense danger. Last night, you suddenly used your magical powers to transmit a message, and all the goblins in the forest heard it. They knew you were in danger, Boss Liu, so your group of friends came looking for me, saying I had the most experience, so they sent me to rescue you."
Liu Qinglan thought hard and vaguely remembered that someone with ulterior motives had sneaked into her room and even jumped on her bed, pressing her awake. But she couldn't remember much else.
"Then... then why did you become like me?" Liu Qinglan looked at the sharp-nosed snake in front of her face and wanted to meow.
The sharp-nosed snake covered its mouth with its sleeve, grinned, and winked at her charmingly. "I went to see the emperor on your behalf. Then I used a little bit of charm to make the human emperor mistakenly believe that he favored you last night. Haha, you don't know that the emperor got up the next day and was so scared that his face turned pale, as if I were a scourge!"
Liu Qinglan was immediately furious. "You...how could you do this to my face? Besides, you are a beast!" The news of the concubine's sleeping with the emperor would surely spread. If the beautiful queen knew that she had just dragged her to the emperor's bedchamber, she would go to the emperor's bedchamber! Liu Qinglan lay on the pillow, tears streaming down her face.
Why would they summon such a sharp-nosed snake that is eager to create chaos in the world!
