As soon as Nangong Yi left, Lan Shuang opened her eyes.
In order to let her sleep better, Zhishu lowered the bed curtains. Now that there was no one by the bed, she was not afraid of being discovered.
"Huh, finally we're gone. This is the first time I've realized that humans can pollute the air to this extent."
888 nodded: "Indeed, I have been doing this for a long time, and this is the first time I have seen it."
Lan Shuang touched her empty stomach and said, "Hey, I'm really a little hungry."
"But host, you just went to bed and can't get up for the time being."
"I know, I was just thinking about it. I want to eat fried chicken and drink Coke, preferably iced Coke and freshly fried chicken, hmm..."
Lan Shuang's stomach also growled.
Lan Shuang: “…”
Fortunately, there is no one in the hall now.
Thinking of the voice just now, Lan Shuang became excited again, "Hey, Jiang Lusheng's identity in this life is quite interesting, the Imperial Master... It seems that Nangong Yi will give him some points. Tsk, this will make things much easier."
888 rubbed his hands together, looking a little bit expectant: "Host, what are you going to do?"
Lan Shuang smiled, "Of course I will have a good discussion with the Imperial Master about how to bring Nangong Yi down."
The play is more interesting when the favored concubine and the powerful minister join forces, isn't it?
Thinking of how the Imperial Master had sent Nangong Yi away with just a few words, Lan Shuang couldn't help but smile. She turned over to face inward, really ready to sleep.
…
I slept until the lights came on.
When Lan Shuang woke up, she suspected that someone had picked her up and beaten her while she was sleeping, and she felt pain all over her body.
It feels like it will fall apart with a shake.
She held her waist and sat up, groaning, "What kind of broken body is this? The Princess and the Pea? This bed isn't hard, why is it so painful?"
The hall was pitch black and the silence was frightening.
Then Lan Shuang's stomach growled again, breaking the silence.
Lan Shuang was so hungry that she was practically choking with hunger. She weakly called out, "Zhishu?"
"Knowing etiquette?"
"Someone come—"
There was a noise outside, and someone came in holding a lamp. "Is the queen awake?"
Lan Shuang's eyes turned. It was Zhishu's voice. She opened the bed curtains and sat on the edge of the bed. "Turn on the light. It's too dark."
"yes."
Zhishu turned around and the bedroom immediately lit up.
Lan Shuang took a moment to adjust before opening her eyes. Zhishu walked over to her, took a look, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty looks more energetic than during the day."
"You're still not refreshed after sleeping for the whole afternoon." Lan Shuang laughed at herself, "Go get some food. I'm starving."
"The fire in the small kitchen is always burning, just in case the queen wakes up hungry."
Zhishu smiled and went out to give a few instructions. Soon Zhili came in with a group of palace maids and set a table full of exquisite food.
The portions are not large, but they all look precious.
Lan Shuang was helped by Zhishu to sit down at the table. She took a quick look and her stomach growled even louder.
Zhishu and Zhili looked at each other and laughed softly, "It seems that the queen is really hungry."
Lan Shuang picked up the soft porridge in front of her and drank two mouthfuls to fill her stomach before eating anything else.
While eating, she calmly scanned the people in the hall. Except for Zhishu and Zhili, she didn't stay with the other palace maids much, and she didn't need to care about them. However, the chief eunuch Dou Li in the palace was pointed out by Nangong Yi and was Nangong Yi's spy.
If I want to do something, it will be very inconvenient with him around.
It's difficult to get rid of him, it would be great if we could control him and use him for our own benefit.
Lan Shuang lowered her eyes, as if thinking about something.
Lan Shuang didn't talk while eating or sleeping. She finished her meal in silence. Her stomach felt warm and her body felt much more comfortable.
Zhili brought over a copper basin and said, "My Lady, would you like to wash up?"
They had already taken a bath during the day, so they did not prepare water for bathing.
Lan Shuang glanced at the copper basin, and thinking that she would not be going out at night, she nodded, "Put it down, I will do it myself."
"yes."
Zhishu and Zhili stepped aside. Lan Shuang brushed her teeth and washed her face. After cleaning herself up, she sat in front of the dressing table and combed her long hair with a jade comb. She asked casually, "Where is my medicine?"
Zhili said, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that medicine is three-quarters toxic. Perhaps the medicine you took to regulate your body previously was harmful to your stomach and intestines. He needs to re-study the prescription and has stopped the medicine for the time being."
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows, it seemed that the vomiting she had done during the day was quite effective.
"I see."
Lan Shuang was about to laugh when Zhishu added, "But you still have to be careful not to catch a cold after falling into the water. The imperial physician has prescribed some preventive medicine, and your Majesty must drink it. It's already been heated up, so you can drink it right away."
Lan Shuang: “…”
After going around in circles, I still can't escape taking medicine.
After finishing a bowl of medicine, Lan Shuang leaned on the couch, looking as if she had lost all desire to live.
"Go away. I'll read for a while and then go to sleep."
After sending the man away, Lan Shuang was stunned for a while. Just as she was about to pick up the storybook to read, the candlelight in the hall suddenly flickered.
She squinted her eyes, and then she heard a creak and her wardrobe opened.
Lan Shuang: “?”
The imperial teacher, dressed in white and wearing a mask, walked out leisurely.
"When did you go in?"
Lan Shuang was stunned.
After asking, she turned her head and looked outside. Zhishu and Zhili were there, and she wondered if they could hear the noise.
"Don't worry, you can't hear it."
The Imperial Master walked straight to the couch and sat down, without any hesitation.
Lan Shuang turned her head to look at him and reached out to take off his mask. Suddenly, the Imperial Preceptor grabbed her hand and asked calmly, "What are you going to do, Your Majesty?"
"Master, don't you know? I wonder why you came to my bedroom at night?"
The Imperial Master chuckled softly, his voice rich and gentle, "Of course it is—picking flowers."
"Oh?" Lan Shuang agreed with his performance. "Master Imperial Master is also a flower thief?"
"So, is your Majesty willing?"
Lan Shuang raised her hand to pinch his chin, met his gaze, and smiled slyly, "You thought it was just picking flowers, but who knows it's not the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it?"
The Imperial Master raised his sword-like brows behind his mask, "So what?"
Lan Shuang looked at him leisurely: "Hmm?"
The Imperial Master caressed Lan Shuang's face, leaned over and kissed her lips, whispering as they rubbed each other: "As long as I am willing to take the bait, I will not lose."
Lan Shuang chuckled softly, but the sound was swallowed back.
…
The two of them were intimate for a while. Lan Shuang leaned against him, pinched his fingers and played with them, saying, "I didn't pick this flower casually. Imperial Master, have you thought about the reward?"
"Hmm. What does the Queen want?"
Lan Shuang raised her head and kissed him on the chin, "Your sincerity is only shown when you think about it yourself."
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Master began to ponder. After a moment, he patted her head and asked, "How is Daliang?"
Lan Shuang smiled: "Not bad."
"What will your Majesty do next?"
"Come closer and listen."
The Imperial Master leaned over, and Lan Shuang whispered a few words in his ear. A doting smile appeared in his eyes, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
"However, just in case, I have to let Your Majesty rest for a while."
