Chapter 31

In the middle of the night, the lights in Yifang Palace were not on. The cold wind made the lanterns flutter. There was also a whistling sound coming from the lotus pond in the back garden, which gave Lin Nanji goosebumps on his arms.

The imperial guards had no idea where they had taken him. Lin Nanjie walked into Yifang Palace through the half-open door and saw the front hall was completely dark from a distance. He walked around to the back hall and heard a faint scream coming from the bedroom where the lights had already been turned off.

Lin Nanqi's heart skipped a beat; this thief actually went straight to Yifang Palace in the corner of the imperial palace.

Concubine Yi liked quietness, and the maids who served her in the palace were all the same maids who had followed her before she entered the palace. At night, the Yifang Palace was empty, as if no one was there.

In addition, Concubine Yi is weak and powerless. If she encounters an assassin, wouldn't she be in danger of death?

Lin Nanjie rushed into Yifang Palace, deftly took out a lighter from his pocket and blew it to light it.

The flickering flame of the tinder illuminated the scene in the room. The curtains of the small-leaf red sandalwood bed were lifted. Li Chenghuan was standing in front of the window, leaning forward, and Concubine Yi was half-sitting on the bed with a terrified expression.

Lin Nanqi looked carefully and saw that Li Chengqian's right hand was pressing on Concubine Yi's chest.

The neckline is loose and passive, revealing a large area of ​​fair skin.

【！ ！ ！】

【Ahhh! 】

Lin Nanqi was so frightened that he was speechless. He opened his eyes wide, puffed up his cheeks, helped blow out the fire stick, and turned away in an instant.

【Don’t look at what is inappropriate, don’t look at what is inappropriate! 】

Li Chenghuan had just caught up and saw the assassin had landed in the courtyard of Yifang Palace. Worried about Concubine Yi's safety, he broke directly into Concubine Yi's bedroom. As he was hurriedly searching inside, his feet were caught by something and he fell suddenly towards the bed, where he held down Concubine Yi who had stood up after hearing the noise.

Concubine Yi covered her chest and was about to cry: "Your Majesty..."

Li Chengqian retracted his hand instantly as if he was scalded.

Damn! He looks like a shameless scoundrel!

Li Chenghuan stood up straight and said in a serious tone: "I am chasing the assassin."

In the darkness, Yipin scolded, "If Your Majesty wants to come to my palace, just come. Why do you have to pretend to be an assassin?"

Lin Nanjie turned his back and pricked up his ears to listen to the movements behind him.

[Wow! Concubine Yi is so good at flirting! ]

[Wasn't the dog emperor chasing the assassin? How did he end up chasing into Yipin's tent? ]

Concubine Yi lit the candle beside the bed, looked at Li Chenghuan lovingly, glanced at Lin Nanjie, and said shyly, "Your Majesty is really something. It would be enough if you came alone. Why did you bring a little eunuch to assist you?"

"Well, as long as the emperor likes it, I don't mind."

Lin Nanjie was confused. What does "assistance" mean?

How can this be helpful?

Lin Nanjie was confused, but also... a little familiar.

Suddenly, the ancient worldview-shattering encyclopedia that he had accidentally read before appeared in his mind. Lin Nanjie was stunned on the spot for a moment, with a look of horror on his face.

[Is it the aid I was thinking of? ]

The pictures in the encyclopedia flooded into Lin Nanqi's mind, and his expression was shattered into pieces.

【Were the ancients so open-minded? 】

[Princess Yi is usually gentle, well-educated and polite. How could someone with such a strong sense of boundaries accept this? ]

Li Chengqian, who was caught off guard by the picture in Lin Nanjie's mind, felt that his mind was full of indescribable things. He subconsciously thought of the previous play box and felt that his mind was full of filth.

What are you thinking about every day?

Who is the pervert?

Li Chenghuan stumbled, adjusted his breathing, cleared his mind, looked at Concubine Yi, and said in a harsh tone: "No, that's not what I meant."

After saying that, he couldn't help but said to Lin Nanqi: "You, stop thinking!"

Lin Nanqi turned around cautiously, looking a little aggrieved.

[Can you control the heavens and the earth, but also control the human brain? 】

Sometimes the more you try to restrain your brain, the more it runs away like a horse with its reins untied.

Lin Nanjie was already in a trance.

[Princess Yi was from Dengzhou. Her father was the prefect of Dengzhou. They were from a family of scholars and even had a noble title. When Concubine Yi entered the palace, she was sixteen years old.]

【Huh? Actually, Yipin didn't want to enter the palace, and she even had a childhood sweetheart in her hometown with whom she had a deep affection. When the selection was held, portraits of the concubines were sent from all over the country. In order to avoid being selected, Yipin bribed the painter to paint her to be a bit burly and more like a man.】

[Oh! He directly pulled his childhood sweetheart in front of the painter and waved his hand: Draw it according to this!]

[Who would have known that it was because of her large frame and her fertile appearance that the Queen Mother chose her at first sight! The Queen Mother thought that the other concubines were too thin, but this one was extremely outstanding, so she immediately decided to marry her! ]

Lin Nanqi couldn't help but secretly look at Concubine Yi. Concubine Yi lowered her head, revealing a part of her fair neck. She was standing by the pillar of the bed... which made her look very slender against the pillar.

[Huh? Concubine Yi is somewhat similar to the description in the portrait. ]

[Especially this skeleton, which is quite broad. His shoulders are almost as broad as Li Chengqian's. When they stand together, they look like two double doors. Is it because he is from the north?]

While thinking about it, he was also distracted by the assassin in white.

[This Yipin Palace is not very big, and I don’t know where the assassin went. I also want to see what the immortal looks like.]

Li Chengqian initially thought that Lin Nanjie was talking nonsense, but an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

Lin Nanqi's heartbeat has never been fake.

He looked stiffly at Concubine Yi, his eyes falling on her shoulders and down to her chest that he had just pressed.

The five fingers of his right hand were stiff as he recalled the touch just now.

It's a bit flat.

A little hard.

No, it seems even flatter than him.

When Concubine Yi saw Li Chenghuan staring at her chest, her face turned red and she raised her hands and crossed them.

"Your Majesty, why do you always stare at me? I am embarrassed."

The soft and sweet words hit Li Chengqian's eardrums.

Li Chenghuan suddenly took a step forward and walked straight towards Concubine Yi. He raised his hands and was about to pull apart Concubine Yi's crossed hands.

Lin Nanqi: [!!!]

[You really don't treat me as a human being! ]

[Aaaaah! No one told me whether to stay or leave in this situation! ]

Li Chengqian was right in front of her, and she felt very oppressive. Concubine Yi opened her eyes wide, but she had no way to retreat, so she raised her voice: "Your Majesty! Why are you so anxious today——"

Suddenly, a sharp cold light flashed and rushed straight towards Li Chenghuan's neck——

Lin Nanjie only saw the fluttering edge of a white robe and a blinding cold light. The sudden change made him speechless. His hands and feet seemed to be nailed to the spot. He only had time to shout out in his heart:

[Dog Emperor! Be careful! ]

In a flash, Li Chenghuan had moved back one meter and narrowly avoided the sword move.

Suddenly there was a person in snow-white clothes in the room.

The man in white came up to Concubine Yi and said anxiously, "Did the Li guy bully you?"

Li Chengqian had no expression on his face.

After the Dog Emperor, he was given yet another disrespectful title.

Concubine Yi's face turned pale, and her tone was no longer as calm as before: "Why did you come out?"

Man in white: "He's about to attack you, how can I not come out? Are you injured? Let me see!"

Yipin refused again and again: "No, it's not appropriate..."

The man in white insisted: "It's not like you haven't seen it before, why are you embarrassed?"

Lin Nanjie was simply stunned. What was going on?

The man in white was slender, with a high bun tied up with a silver crown, and a white dress that shone like moonlight, with a belt of the same color cinching his slender waist. He had a sword tied around his waist, but now only the gorgeous scabbard was left.

The man in white had a handsome face, delicate features, a high nose bridge, and a pair of protruding eyes full of youthful spirit.

Lin Nan was stunned:

【Immortal! 】

[So handsome! ]

[Wait, he seems to be an adulterer...? ]

No matter how stupid Lin Nanqi was, he could tell that the voice of the man in white was that of a woman.

【Huh? That's not right! 】

[The assassin is a woman, and Concubine Yi is... a man? ]

What kind of messed up relationship is this?

Li Chenghuan gritted his teeth and walked forward, brushed aside the woman in white, and grabbed open Concubine Yi's clothes.

Concubine Yi was only wearing a plain white middle-length dress, shivering with her chest exposed, and was stared at by several people.

Li Chenghuan's expression was as if he had been struck by lightning. At that moment, his mind completely lost its calm, his thoughts were frozen, and he was unable to move.

He has had a concubine for three years. Is he a man?

At this moment, Lin Nanqi felt a little pity for Li Chenghuan.

[After sleeping together for over three years, you didn't know that Concubine Yi was a man? 】

Li Chenghuan looked at Concubine Yi with complicated eyes, oh no, this wild man who came from nowhere.

Lin Nanqi secretly connected the cause and effect:

[No wonder the dog emperor never found out. ]

[In total, the number of times the Dog Emperor came to Yifang Palace was no less than that of other concubines, because Yipin was very quiet and would never disturb him unless he took the initiative to talk to her. She was also very polite and never overstepped the boundaries. She was also good at poetry, calligraphy and painting. Every time the Dog Emperor came, he would ask Yipin to write poetry and paint while he took a nap.]

【Oh! Are you here for a spiritual spa? 】

[When it was time to stay overnight, the dog emperor fell asleep right away. ]

[Although it's strange, Concubine Yi doesn't ask questions or spy on others.]

【So Yifang Palace is the favorite place for the dog emperor in the harem. 】

【Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! 】

[The dog emperor thought that Concubine Yi was of a noble character, but she was relieved when she found out that she would not be exposed! ]

Li Chenghuan's face turned black.

Seeing that Li Chenghuan was staring at the fake Yipin, the woman in white was furious and was about to step forward with her sword in hand: "Don't look!"

Concubine Yi tried her best to hold the woman in white and said, "Anian! Stop messing around."

Lin Nanqi's eyes lit up: [A Nian! Concubine Yi's name is Su Yinian! ]

At this time, Li Chenghuan came to his senses and said in a cold voice: "My imperial guards are lying in ambush around Yifang Palace. If you make a move tonight, everyone in Yifang Palace will be buried with you!"

"Your sword is fast, but I kill faster."

It was the first time that Lin Nanjie saw Li Chenghuan looking so oppressive. He looked at the two people in front of him coldly, with a look of thunder on his face.

[It’s over, it’s over. No man can stand this. 】

【The daughter-in-law of three years has become a man. 】

【Who can bear this blow? 】

Su Yinian thought of her childhood sweetheart who had disguised himself as a woman to enter the palace for her, and the maid who had followed her since she was a child. She reluctantly put down her sword and gritted her teeth, saying, "Kill me or behead me, it's up to you! Don't implicate others!"

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said with a sinister expression: "Good, you have guts!"

"I must investigate this matter from the beginning. Tomorrow I will have your father come to the capital to be tried! You should know the consequences of substituting one thing for another and deceiving the emperor."

Lin Nanqi opened his eyes slightly: [Yes, you are too brave! ]

[If this is discovered, you will be beheaded! ]

Feeling that there was more gossip to dig up, Lin Nanjie concentrated on digging it out:

【What the hell! 】

[It's still possible!!]
