Chapter 56: That Painful and Bitter Feeling
Eunuch Yu had seen her in the Cabinet Treasury before. In the past two days, there have been some rumors circulating in the palace about the fire in the bedroom that night, and he has heard them all, so he knows what is going on with this Si Nanyan.
He looked at the woman with a sickly look on her face, and then said, "Miss Si, is this the residence of the palace maid Xia Yunting?"
"Here—yes."
"That's good."
Eunuch Yu nodded and waved to the two young eunuchs behind him: "Go in and clean up."
As soon as he finished speaking, two young eunuchs ran in with their hands hanging down and began to pack up Xia Yunting's things. This scared Nan Yan, thinking that something had happened to her and that she had offended the King of Yan. She hurriedly asked, "Eunuch, what happened to Yunting?"
Eunuch Yu said, "Palace maid Xia Yunting served His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan last night. She has been pardoned and moved into the harem to await her reward."
“……!”
Nan Yan suddenly froze in place.
In the room, two young eunuchs had already taken out all of Xia Yunting's things and were wrapping them up for her. The sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets sounded like thunder in her ears, shocking her so much that she lost consciousness.
After a long while, she whispered again: "Father-in-law, is this true?"
Eunuch Yu glanced at her and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Yan personally ordered this. How could this be false?"
After saying this, he held a whisk in his hands and urged inside: "Hurry up?"
Fortunately, she didn't have much stuff, and the two young eunuchs were very skillful and quickly packed up everything. They came out with three or four bundles and followed Eunuch Yu away.
Nan Yan stood at the door in a daze.
The sunlight shone on her body, burning hot, as if flames were burning all around her.
But her whole body was cold.
Xia Yunting, Yunting...she served His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan last night?
Last night she was with His Royal Highness Prince Yan——
How could this happen?
These words kept repeating in her mind. She didn't know how long she stood under the scorching sun. She was so hot that she felt a little dazed. Then she slowly turned around, dragged her heavy feet to the bed, and sat down while holding the bedpost.
Yun Ting served King Yan last night.
As soon as she sat down, this fact popped up in her mind again, as if Eunuch Yu's voice was still echoing in her ears, reminding her of this fact all the time.
After a long while, she suddenly sneered: "Humph."
"Isn't it said that not everyone can climb into your bed? What's the result?"
"Yun Ting is just going to bed for the first time, isn't it—"
"That's all."
"I thought that not everyone could sleep with you."
"I—"
When she said this, she was suddenly shocked, as if something hit her heart hard, causing her heart to skip a beat.
What's wrong with me?
What am I thinking about?
Nan Yan reached out her hands and held her head in confusion. Hadn't she already rejected him that night? Even if it was a misunderstanding, she had said those words. She didn't want to be a flatterer, didn't want to sleep with him in such an unclear and unclear way.
Those words were all said by me and thought by me. So what am I thinking about now?
Besides, Yun Ting...it was Yun Ting who served him, so what?
The current situation is obviously good for Yun Ting. She no longer has to suffer in the Ye Ting, and she is no longer a slave. I should be happy for her.
But why, deep in my heart——
What exactly is that painful and sour feeling?
