Chapter 121 Taking Off Clothes How am I supposed to take off this python robe?
Anhe's body was as stiff as a stone slab, and he dared not move an inch.
Zhao Liangxu's hands moved casually. After the imperial physician left, her hands were still idly rubbing Anhe's legs a couple of times, unaware of Anhe's unusual behavior.
"Eunuch An, say something nice to the imperial physician. After all, he's treating your wounds and is looking out for you... Eunuch An? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Zhao Liangxu talked for a long time, only to find that An Hejing was excessively quiet.
Zhao Liangxu turned to look at An He's expression, and only then did she realize that An He's expression was somewhat... as if facing a formidable enemy.
His eyes were fixed on what was below.
Stare at your hands.
Zhao Liangxu paused for a moment, then looked at An He's expression, but her finger continued to slide upwards.
It meanders upwards inch by inch, slowly and frighteningly.
Anhe suddenly grabbed Zhao Liangxu's restless hand.
"Don't move!"
Zhao Liangxu, she did it on purpose again!
Ke Anhe's movements were too vigorous, and another sharp pain throbbed in her back.
"you......"
He felt more fear than shame and anger.
"Eunuch An, why are you reacting so strongly? It's not like I haven't touched your leg before."
Although Anhe never undressed in front of Zhao Liangxu, it was inevitable that they would encounter each other every time, such as sitting on Anhe's lap or Zhao Liangxu clinging to Anhe while sleeping together.
Anhe's ears were bright red, but her face was even paler.
He was avoiding... that place, of course.
If it's just a leg, that's easy to talk about.
But Zhao Liangxu had just clearly felt something, and her palm was rubbing and sliding, as if she wanted to touch it.
Make him afraid.
Zhao Liangxu knew what An He was afraid of, so she withdrew her hand and smiled, "Eunuch An, I was just teasing you."
Zhao Liangxu stopped in time, which slightly calmed Anhe's heartbeat.
But he knew that Zhao Liangxu was just backing down at the right time; she had clearly been plotting something earlier... Seeing his resistance, she stopped.
Anhe could only be thankful that Zhao Liangxu was so understanding.
Before Anhe could fully relax, Zhao Liangxu said again, "You pushed yourself too hard today. You've only rested for a few days, and your wound hasn't even healed properly. Is it bleeding again?"
“So,” Anhe’s heart sank again after hearing Zhao Liangxu’s next words, “Eunuch An needs to change into a clean dressing.”
As she spoke, Zhao Liangxu placed her hand on An He's side waist, making a gesture as if to unbutton his clothes.
"We'll change it ourselves, don't mess with it."
Anhe tried to stop Zhao Liangxu again.
Zhao Liangxu tilted her head to look at him: "You did it yourself? You changed it with such wide and forceful movements, no wonder you aggravated your wound. It must be in so much pain."
Anhe knew this, of course, but to change the medicated cloth on her body, she had to take off all her upper body clothes.
This won't do.
Seeing An He's very resistant expression, Zhao Liangxu's expression hardened, and she threatened An He, saying, "Eunuch An, I understand that you don't like to take off your clothes normally, but in this situation... do you want me to go find the imperial physician to change them for you, or do you want Zhang Sheng to change them for you? Don't think you can do it yourself, it's no small matter if the wound reopens."
The imperial physician and Zhang Sheng.
Anhe was even more unwilling to let these two help him change it.
Anhe remained defiant: "But you're also injured, and it's very inconvenient for you to move around. We can manage on our own."
"I injured my left arm, but it doesn't affect my mobility."
Seeing that An He was unmoved by reason, Zhao Liangxu was truly speechless.
Anhe clung desperately to her clothes, preventing Zhao Liangxu from taking them off.
Zhao Liangxu sighed, loosened An He's clothes, and said, "Eunuch An, you just made me angry a while ago, do you want to make me angry again?"
"Our family..."
Anhe was very conflicted.
He knew that he deserved to be scolded by Zhao Liangxu for doing this.
Ordinary people wouldn't do something like him, not even willing to take off his clothes.
However, he didn't want Zhao Liangxu to see those embarrassing things.
Zhao Liangxu then said gently, "Eunuch An, the wound is on my back, only on my upper body, so I can't see anything."
But his upper body... he didn't have any problems either.
If Zhao Liangxu saw him, his thin frame would be far less robust than the group of men. What if Zhao Liangxu disliked him?
"Eunuch An, what do you want to say?"
Seeing the hesitant look on An He's face, Zhao Liangxu knew that he had something on his mind, something he wanted to say but didn't.
Anhe lowered her eyes, looking somewhat helpless.
Dark eyelashes were set against pale cheeks, and raven-black hair hung down beside her face. The interplay of black and white gave Anhe's face a touch of decadent elegance.
"I'm afraid you'll get tired of my family."
"What do you hate?"
An He spoke in a mumbled voice, which puzzled Zhao Liangxu.
Anhe didn't want to talk anymore and turned her head away.
But worried that Zhao Liangxu might get really angry, he could only squeeze out an explanation through gritted teeth: "Too thin, not very good-looking."
Zhao Liangxu finally understood.
Anhe was cut when he was young, so he was naturally different from ordinary men.
From a medical perspective, muscle growth requires a hormone that happens to be produced from these reproductive organs, which is why men are more likely to build muscle.
As a result, a eunuch loses that thing and loses this advantage.
Eunuchs in TV dramas are usually depicted as plump and healthy, but Anhe is excessively thin.
Zhao Liangxu pressed her hand against An He's chest: "But I think Eunuch An is quite handsome, and he feels rather fleshy."
Perhaps because Anhe didn't eat much, he stood while attending to Li Ying in the court.
He wasn't so arrogant as to always use a sedan chair when moving around the palace. Anhe preferred to stroll leisurely along the palace paths, not because he followed the rules, but because he enjoyed seeing the palace servants bowing and yielding to him.
That would give Anhe a sinister joy.
Now that he has such power, those who used to look down on him should now bow down and respect him.
These factors led Anhe to exercise more, making him lean and fit.
An He's eyes twitched, taking Zhao Liangxu's words of comfort as nothing more.
"Don't try to fool us like that."
Zhao Liangxu said, "That's the truth. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are, Eunuch An? I can tell just by looking through your clothes."
Zhao Liangxu said in an almost coaxing tone, "If I were disgusted, I would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?"
Anhe was slightly moved by these words.
Don't you really dislike him?
Zhao Liangxu then took this opportunity to tear off Anhe's clothes.
However, she was not familiar with the style of the python robe and couldn't find where the ties were, so she just groped around on Anhe's body.
The fabric of the python robe was smooth and slippery, and the gold four-clawed python embroidered on it was exquisite and intricate. Zhao Liangxu felt that the embroidery was exquisite when she touched it.
As she touched him, she forgot her purpose and instead kept tugging at Anhe's sleeves and robes.
"..."
Anhe hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
He eventually gave in.
Zhao Liangxu's words were so sweet that he wanted to believe them no matter what.
Anhe grabbed Zhao Liangxu's wrist, stopping her from groping him.
"Alright, this is how we wear our clothes."
He guided Zhao Liangxu's hand to his shoulder; there was a button on his right shoulder.
Take it off... fine, take it off then.
Zhao Liangxu then noticed that his clothes were like this.
After she unbuttoned the button, Anhe pulled Zhao Liangxu's hand and led her into the side of the overlapping fabric.
Only then did I touch the thin, long silk ribbon.
Zhao Liangxu raised an eyebrow.
Anhe said in a low voice, "Our family had them tie it inside with a belt."
Zhao Liangxu pulled the knot open with a tug of her finger.
Then the T-shirt was similar in style to ordinary clothes, with another slipknot hidden on the left side of the body, which could be opened with a pull.
Zhao Liangxu then figured out what was going on with that wide and gorgeous python robe.
Zhao Liangxu stroked the fabric of the python robe with her fingers, clearly enjoying it.
"You like python robes? We'll have them tailor one for you another day."
Anhe Dang Zhao Liangxu also liked this kind of clothing.
It makes sense, considering she was his person, yet Zhao Liangxu didn't even have a decent set of bestowed clothes to wear, to show her status.
"Huh? Me?" Zhao Liangxu was somewhat surprised.
Is this correct?
"Why not? If we want them to make it, they can make it for you. Even His Majesty's favor towards you makes you worthy of wearing such bestowed robes."
Zhao Liangxu said, "I haven't had a suitable opportunity to wear it either."
Anhe snorted lightly: "Wear it whenever you want."
Is there anyone who dares to say no?
Zhao Liangxu smiled and said, "But I prefer seeing Eunuch An wear it to myself."
"Eunuch An's attire was so captivating that I couldn't take my eyes off him."
Anhe coughed twice because of Zhao Liangxu's words.
Zhao Liangxu always liked to say things like that.
It's both embarrassing and enjoyable to listen to.
Zhao Liangxu smiled and said, "But for now, Eunuch An, you should take off your python robe first."
Zhao Liangxu quickly left Anhe with only an undergarment.
She reached for the ties on her undergarment, but Anhe quickly said, "We'll do it ourselves."
Zhao Liangxu let go of Anhe's hand and waited quietly.
Anhe hesitated for a moment, then finally took off her clothes.
He watched Zhao Liangxu's expression closely, worried that she might frown at him.
But Zhao Liangxu only focused on the wound on Anhe's back and said, "It really is bleeding. You still want to change it yourself? Aren't you afraid the wound will tear even more?"
Zhao Liangxu wiped the bloodstains off Anhe's back again and quickly wrapped Anhe in new cloth.
Her movements were nimble and gentle, and Anhe could feel that Zhao Liangxu was trying her best not to make him feel pain.
"You've lost so much blood, yet you can still act like nothing happened in Yu Yue Palace."
Zhao Liangxu rubbed her forehead. Treating her wounds on the boat was one thing, but in an emergency, she couldn't worry about that.
The environment was safe at this moment, but Zhao Liangxu felt uneasy looking at the glaring red stain on the cloth.
Taking advantage of the break, Anhe put her clothes back on.
He actually made a move as if he was about to go out.
"Eunuch An, where else do you want to go?"
Zhao Liangxu was puzzled. Why was An He so energetic, even though he was injured and running around everywhere?
Even after Anhe had finished dressing, the embarrassment from before still lingered in her ears.
Bright red.
“We need to find Li Ying. Now that we know about Zhou Feng’s scheme, we should deal with him as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.”
Zhou Feng had a considerable number of elite troops under his command, but most of them were stationed a hundred miles away from the capital. He had trusted confidants, but those soldiers ultimately belonged to the emperor and to the Southern Zhou.
If arranged properly, Zhou Feng will not cause any trouble.
Zhao Liangxu tugged at An He's sleeve and asked, "You're entrusting this task to Li Ying?"
"Of course, I'm not handing over all authority to him; I'm just having him cooperate. After studying the imperial teachings for so long, even a fool could pick up some skills from them."
Seeing that An He didn't stop, Zhao Liangxu followed him and asked, "So... what you're doing isn't just about dealing with Zhou Feng, are you paving the way for Li Ying?"
-----------------------
Author's Note: Will the plot seem to move rather quickly? Because while there was some foreshadowing in the earlier chapters, these last few chapters have definitely rushed through the plot. Writing each chapter has given me a feeling of being too close to the story to see clearly, so my experience might be different from others (?).
Also, I felt I did pretty well in today's interview, so I'm happy!
