"Your Majesty, I am also very happy. Finally, I don't have to think about anyone else and can only think about you wholeheartedly." Tang Wan smiled and it was obvious that she was in a very good mood.
"Smooth talk and sweet words." Although he said so, his pounding heart still betrayed his heart. He really loved to hear these words.
"Your Majesty, can I... ask you for a favor?" Tang Wan pursed her lips and asked hesitantly.
"What's the matter?" Xuanyuan Che was in a very good mood now. Even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would find a way to pick a few for her.
"Your Majesty, please help me punish my parents and sister." She lowered her head slightly, seeming to be very conflicted.
"Then how do you want to punish them?" Xuanyuan Che looked at her with interest. It was really strange that a kitten could catch people.
"One person... one person will be beaten with twenty boards?" She frowned, bit her lower lip, and was very hesitant and conflicted.
"Hmm?" That's all? He was indeed soft-hearted. However, he wasn't that soft-hearted. Even if he got 200 lashes, let alone twenty, it wouldn't be enough to ease the hatred in his heart.
She couldn't see the expression on Xuanyuan Che's face, and her voice gradually became lower: "Your Majesty, am I really that bad to let you punish my own family?" Her voice was muffled and had a strong nasal tone after crying.
Xuanyuan Che reached out and scratched the tip of her nose: "What are you thinking about? These punishments are too light. I'm here to help you."
Tang Wan looked at him blankly, as if she didn't expect him to say that, but then she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will listen to your Majesty."
"Aren't you afraid that I will resort to private punishment and torture them to death?" When he said this, his expression was gloomy and a bit yandere.
Tang Wan, however, seemed completely unaware of it, her eyes filled with trust in him: "Your Majesty is the best person in the world to me. I believe Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not harm me."
Her eyes were pure and clear. Xuanyuan Che suddenly didn't dare to look into her eyes, so he stretched out a hand and covered her eyes: "Be good, have a good rest. If you are hungry, ask someone to bring you food. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and left. No matter how you looked at his back, it looked like he was fleeing in panic.
Tang Wan looked at his back, breathed a sigh of relief, and collapsed on the bed like a salted fish.
"Wow, host, that's pretty fast progress. I thought it would take a long time for you to become his concubine."
Tang Wan smiled, a smile that was somewhat bewitching. "No, in fact, I could have become his concubine a long time ago, but the smaller the position I occupy in his heart, the lower the position he gives me."
"If I had asked him to be his concubine the first time he asked me, I would at most be a noble lady now, instead of becoming a concubine right away."
"Besides, having a title and not having one are two different realms. I don't come from a high background, so this status is the highest position he can give me."
"It's all connected, host, you're so awesome!" Xiaobai just loves it this way, praising her mindlessly.
But Tang Wan took it very seriously: "Of course not, Xiaobai, my injuries healed too quickly, will it arouse other people's suspicion?" Tang Wan asked what she wanted to ask most. She still cherished her life very much and didn't want to be burned to death as a monster by others.
"No, no, don't worry about me. Although there will still be scars on the surface, the inside has actually healed. When the time comes, I'll tear off the outer layer and you'll be the flawless Wanwan Bao La again~"
"Huh, that's good. Xiaobai, I'll be returning to the palace in a few days. I wonder if there will be any danger on the way back."
Xiaobai, with his tail cocked, searched for a while before pulling out a huge, thick volume. "Oh, it seems to be there. Three days later, when I returned to the palace, Xuanyuan Che was assassinated by Prince Ping's men."
"Xiaobai, I've been through so much trouble."
"Ah?" Xiaobai looked at her with his big round cat eyes, obviously not understanding what she was saying.
Tang Wan casually touched it and said, "You're so silly! Isn't this a good opportunity to make a contribution?"
"But, but this will be very dangerous." Xiaobai looked worried.
“You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. I will go to the tiger mountain even though I know there is a tiger there.”
"But what if you don't have time to use the props?"
"Isn't this still you?"
"What will you do when I'm doing repairs?" Xiaobai groaned, tears about to fall.
"Don't worry, I'll carry the amulet with me. I'll only be unconscious for a few days at most."
"Well, don't be so stubborn. Xuanyuan Che has many people protecting him, and you only have me. I'm weak and powerless..."
"Good boy Xiaobai, mommy loves you so much!" Tang Wan hugged it and took a deep breath, little darling!
"Meow! The host is a pervert, meow!!!"
…………
The next morning, Tang Wan finally opened her eyes. Chun Tao, still wrapped in bandages, walked to her bedside with a cheerful expression: "Miss, there is great news. Hurry up and receive the order."
Tang Wan dressed up, drew her eyebrows and put on lipstick. Just the light makeup and elegant clothes made her look like a fairy from heaven, with a fairy-like figure and jade-like beauty that seemed beyond real life.
Chun Tao stared at her blankly: "Girl, you look like the fairy in the painting, so beautiful."
I don't know what she looks like. She clearly has two noses and a mouth, but she is so beautiful, like a beauty that cannot possibly exist in this world.
Tang Wan curled her lips slightly, a blush on her face: "Girl, you are always good at saying nice things."
Chun Tao was anxious and her words were a little halting: "No, girl, I, I, I really think that you are ten times more beautiful than the fairy in that year's painting."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's go. Aren't we going to receive an imperial decree?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Look at me. I almost forgot what I was doing."
As expected, Tang Wan saw Zhou Shun, who smiled so brightly that wrinkles appeared on his face. "Miss Tang, please accept the order."
Tang Wan knelt down obediently, and Zhou Shun began to read the imperial edict:
"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The Palace Maid Tang Wan is intelligent, docile, and humble..."
"For your service in soothing the emperor's heart, you will be promoted to Consort, granted the title 'Wan', and will reside in Begonia Palace. This is my decree."
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace."
"Alright, Concubine Wan, please accept the order."
Tang Wan took the imperial edict and hurriedly asked Chuntao to take a purse to Zhou Shun. Zhou Shun smiled and said a few words of blessing, weighed the purse, and accepted it without refusing.
He had a premonition that Concubine Wan would achieve great things in the future and would not stay in the position of Concubine for long.
"Thank you for your hard work, Manager Zhou."
"This is what I should do. Wan Jieyu, please rest first. I won't disturb you."
"Okay, Manager Zhou, take care."
