Chapter 23: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Maid

"Help? Help with what..."

Chu Li only saw the emperor slowly approaching her, and gradually she was pushed aside, with his head buried in her neck. Suddenly, her hand was held by him, and she felt like she touched something.

!!!

Help!

Hatsuri knew exactly what she had encountered.

Seeing the emperor breathing slowly in her ears, her hands moved restlessly to her waist and then upwards.

"Li'er, is that okay?"

The sound of Li Er was gentle and soft.

The man in front of her stared at her blankly, with unknown emotions surging in his eyes, and he seemed to be out of control in the next second.

His black eyes were full of longing and anticipation, and his desire to obtain seemed uncontrollable.

Chuli shuddered in surprise and her ears suddenly turned red.

"Um?"

The man asked again, and she had taken off her clothes at some point, revealing her snow-white skin.

Hatsuri's heart was pounding, this time was different from the past, last time she was drugged and the two people were trying to find the antidote.

This happened while both were sober.

"Your Majesty..."

Hatsuri was looking forward to it, mainly because why did he have to ask? It would be fine if he didn't ask, but it would be really difficult to answer if he did.

"Come."

"Are you so impatient?"

The emperor greeted her with an overwhelming kiss, and the temperature of the water seemed to rise gradually at this moment.

Two people are making love in the bathtub.

Shen Yan looked at her in silence, no longer able to control his lust, his eyes filled with an indescribable mist.

This was the first time that Hatsuri was honest with him.

She was like a soft and paralyzed sheep, letting him do whatever he wanted, attacking her again and again.

Shen Yan's voice was hoarse, and his breath was rapid and hot.

The two of them were very close, their eyes met, and it seemed as if time had stopped at that moment.

The sound of dripping water echoed in the bathtub. The palace maids outside held back their smiles and were unwilling to come in and disturb them.

Only waves of hot air came out from outside the bathhouse.

She didn't know how long she was tortured, until the water lost its heat, and Shen Yan let her go.

He carried her to the bed, gently put her down, and touched her forehead.

Hatsuri was not wearing any clothes, and the blush on her face had not yet faded. She looked indescribably delicate.

She and the emperor did it again.

Shen Yan wanted to leave to pour her a glass of water, but she grabbed his clothes. He only heard a small voice: "Your Majesty, are you leaving?"

Suddenly, Shen Yan endured it.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and rushed towards her.

"My beloved, come with me again."

In this way, Hatsuri was tortured for a long time.

Another night of spring breeze...

So much so that she completely forgot that she had to pay her respects to the Queen Mother the next day.

It was not until the maid called her to get up that she woke up vaguely.

"What! I knew I wouldn't be able to get up!"

Dog Emperor!

I shouldn't have been seduced by him and agreed to his offer last night!

She got up in a hurry, asked the palace maid to pack up, and rushed to the Queen Mother's Palace.

Originally, her father-in-law was the one who picked her up and dropped her off, but Chu Li really thought they were too slow.

He just ran over there, and the palace maids couldn't catch up with him at all.

I couldn't help but sigh: "Our queen is really strong. She fought with the emperor all night last night, and she is still energetic today."

"How about our queen..."

Hatsuri gathered up her clothes and ran halfway but couldn't run any further.

It’s so, so, so far away! She was waiting in front for the eunuchs to bring the sedan chair.

I knew from watching TV dramas before how far away the Queen Mother’s residence was, but I never thought it was actually this far!

This would take at least several hours to walk...

No wonder we have to get up early to pay our respects. There is a reason for this.

Finally we arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace. As the saying goes, one should not leave a bad impression when meeting the mother-in-law, especially when this is the Empress Dowager.

She can't afford to offend.

After entering the palace, several concubines were already there, except for her who was late.

"Your Highness, I am sorry for being late on the road."

The Queen Mother didn't take it seriously, but she felt it was a bit exaggerated when she heard her say that she was guilty.

"It's not a crime, please give me a seat."

On the contrary, the imperial concubine was jealous, because she knew that the emperor stayed there last night.

He immediately became sullen and said, "Sister Chuli must have been too tired from serving the Emperor last night, and she is taking advantage of the Emperor's favor and doesn't want to get up early today."

Having said that, he even pretended to touch his forehead.

Chu Li saw that she was setting a trap for herself again, and replied: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. The Emperor insisted on coming to my place, and I couldn't refuse. Why didn't the Emperor go to your place? Your Majesty, you should reflect on this."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present laughed softly.

"Alright, alright, did I call you here today just to make you jealous? Instead of spending your free time fighting for favor, you should think about my grandson!"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, Queen Mother, please calm down."

"Forget it. I can't recover from this mental illness for the time being. I wanted to talk to you guys about something, but you guys are making me lose the mood. You guys should go back. I also need to have a good rest. Please don't talk to me in the future!"

Having said that, the concubines had no choice but to withdraw.

Only Hatsuri was happy, as she finally didn't have to get up early every day to greet him!

When we got to the door, the imperial concubines would come over to say something: "It's all your fault! If you hadn't come late, would the Empress Dowager have chased us out like this?"

Chu Li shook her head helplessly, "My Imperial Concubine, why do you keep throwing all that dirty water on me?"

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault. I thought I could get some of the Queen Mother's delicious snacks, but now you've ruined it all!"

Li Guiren stood aside and sided with Chu Li, saying, "Your Majesty, you look so good today, as beautiful as a lotus flower. I am so jealous. I have some delicious snacks shipped from the Western Regions, which were sent by my father. Your Majesty, please try them and see if you like them."

Being praised again, you can also gain something.

The Royal Concubine suddenly felt brighter and felt that she was fine again.

"You are a very sweet-talker, so I will give it a try."

Having said this, he walked away in a swagger.

In this way, Hatsuri officially got to know this noble lady.

"Can you come to Suihuaxuan for a cup of tea when you have time?"

"My lady, of course you can."

Hatsuri was a smart person and could tell at a glance that this noble lady wanted to join forces with her.

In this deep palace, if you choose the wrong person, you will be ruined for the rest of your life.

At night, someone from Yangxin Palace came to call Chuli over.

Chuli thought about the last time she went there to help with grinding, and she felt a chill in her heart for a moment.

You won't have to work overtime again, will you?

She could only go there reluctantly, and the system that had not been seen for a long time suddenly appeared at this moment.

"Susu! You are becoming more and more experienced in doing it now, right?"

After hearing this, Hatsuri's ears blushed unconsciously: "What are you talking about! I was obviously forced!"
