Chapter 34: The Maze
In the quiet of the night.
Nanny Qin and Zhuang Yu were standing outside the bedroom. They vaguely heard some noise coming from inside. They looked at each other in surprise and lowered their heads.
This, this has started again...
Inside the bedroom, the dim candlelight flickered, illuminating the swaying flowers and birds on the gauze curtains. Amidst the tired and weak murmurs, there were low, satisfied gasps.
"No, no, please..."
Su Ci lay on the mattress, sobbing weakly.
She regretted it.
She was considered an experienced mistress, but she had not expected Xuan Yi to be so gifted and addicted. She continued to do it until her stomach growled in protest. She showered, ate, showered again, and then did it again.
And becoming more and more skilled.
If she continues like this, she will probably die before she even gets the dragon's heart...
"uh-huh?"
Small kisses fell on the silky smooth jade back and the rosy ears, the breath was hot, the dark eyes were bathed in deep color, and the hoarse voice was full of provocative satisfaction.
"I told you, you asked for it."
"Hehe...I was wrong, uh! Too...wuwu..."
A short pain is worse than a long one, we must fight and resolve it quickly...
Su Ci couldn't stand this slow but clear feeling, and struggled to half-kneel forward.
Unexpectedly, the big hand that was pinching her waist tightened instantly, and huge waves surged up!
After a long time, a muffled groan was heard, and the violently swaying gauze curtain calmed down.
Xuan Yi closed his eyes and raised his head, beads of sweat slid down his rolling throat and dripped onto his jade back covered with red marks.
"call…"
Xuan Yi took the person who had fallen asleep from exhaustion into his arms and lay down. He lowered his eyes and looked at the tear-stained face. He raised his hand and gently stroked the red corners of the eyes, his heart pounding.
He thought about this girl for several days.
Even when he was attending court, reading memorials, eating, and sleeping, his mind was full of her. This extremely unfamiliar emotion shocked him and made him feel helpless.
When he saw the portrait she presented to the Queen Mother today, he knew very well that this was her hint to lead him to Yufu Palace.
He came and saw what she was wearing in the warm room, and suddenly realized.
It turns out that this weak and vulnerable girl has been deliberately trying to seduce him.
But he had no aversion at all and voluntarily stepped into the maze she set, becoming deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.
…
Su Ci slept until noon, soaking in the bathtub with her whole body aching and her head drooping weakly.
The retribution for excessive indulgence...
Yanyu Guyu next to him was filled with joy.
"Master, His Majesty has ordered that no one should disturb your rest, and has also ordered Nanny Qin to send over some precious ointments."
"Yes, Master. I even saw Your Majesty bend down to cover you with a blanket when he left."
“…”
Su Ci moved her aching back and sighed helplessly: "It seems I need to exercise well, otherwise if I do it a few more times, the people in the palace will think I am so weak..."
Guyu chuckled and shook his head: "Master, this is because His Majesty loves you. Others can't even hate you."
Yanyu nodded repeatedly: "I only pray that my master will get pregnant soon, then I can rest assured..."
Su Ci didn't say anything, but gently massaged her lower abdomen with her hands.
In fact, she didn't want to get pregnant so soon.
She couldn't sleep with the Queen while she was pregnant, and she also had to be on guard against the Queen's actions. With her current abilities, it was difficult for her to resist.
"Guyu, go ask Nanny Qin later if I can summon my mother to the palace to talk to her now."
"yes."
***
Xuan Yi had just finished lunch. After listening to Nanny Qin's words, he thought for a moment and nodded.
Although it's against the rules, after all, he's still young and it's inevitable that he misses his family...
Nanny Qin's eyes turned slightly.
"Your Majesty, I heard from Guyu that Consort Su fell asleep again right after lunch and refused to listen to my advice. I'm afraid this won't be good for Consort Su's health. How about sending a royal physician to take her pulse?"
Xuan Yi frowned slightly, put down the book, walked to the desk and sat down.
“…No need, just send her over here.”
Nanny Qin was slightly surprised, lowered her eyes and nodded in response, then quickly left the hall without noticing the king's slowly rising mouth corners.
She is indeed very delicate. When she is tired, she can only beg for mercy pitifully. She should be allowed to run more times to exercise in the future...
After reading a few memorials, the decadent person floated in, wearing a light green suit, elegant and refined.
"His Majesty…"
Xuan Yi raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the red lips that were pouting so hard that they could hang a bottle of oil on them. His tongue unconsciously licked the corner of the lips.
"Come here and read a poem to me."
"Reading poetry?"
Su Ci blinked in surprise.
So he pulled her out of bed just to recite some poem to him?
Shit, it seems like the dog with the engine last night wasn’t him!
"Um?"
“…Yes, I obey your command.”
He is the emperor and cannot be offended.
Su Ci resigned herself to her fate and walked to the futon beside the desk, kneeling down and smiling, tilting her head: "Your Majesty, what poem would you like to hear?"
The emperor threw down the memorial, leaned back in his chair, and leisurely supported his ear.
Like a dandy boy, he smiled evilly.
"You decide."
"Hmm..."
Su Ci blinked her sore eyes, leaned forward slightly, and raised her index finger: "Your Majesty, can I make a small request?"
Xuan Yi really liked to see her cute look, his black eyes narrowed slightly.
"Tell me about it."
"If I can recite three poems that Your Majesty has never heard before, will you let me take a nap here for a while?"
"Oh."
Xuan Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise. "That's quite unusual. Let me hear it."
"Geese, geese, geese, they sing with their necks curved toward the sky, their white feathers floating on the green water, their red feet paddling the clear waves."
Su Ci finished reciting it in one breath, grinning with her shining white teeth, and looked proudly at the man who was slightly stunned and thinking: "Your Majesty, have you heard of this poem?"
"…continue."
"Hey, the second one, walk into a room, surrounded by walls, look up and see mice, look down and see cockroaches."
“…”
Xuan Yi narrowed his dark eyes slightly, looking suspiciously at the person who was grinning slyly: "This, can also be considered a poem?"
"Why not? It rhymes."
Su Ci spread out her hands innocently: "It's the third song. There's no pork knuckle in front, no roast duck behind. Thinking of my empty stomach, I'm alone and tears are falling!"
"...What, pork knuckle, roast duck?"
Su Ci crawled over and tugged at his sleeve, shaking it: "Your Majesty, I accept defeat. I win, my Lord."
Xuan Yi touched his forehead in a daze, "Uh, then you should go back and rest..."
He had to think carefully about where these three strange poems came from.
"No need, I told you I'd sleep here."
Su Ci fell down and lay on his legs, pulled his sleeve to cover her face, yawned and waved her hands.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about me. Just do what you need to do."
“…”
Xuan Yi lowered his head in a daze, momentarily forgetting how to react.
In just a moment, she actually fell asleep on his legs and snored.
Under the slightly open neckline, there were some purple and red marks on the delicate skin, which were very conspicuous.
After a while, Xuan Yi exhaled slightly and pulled up his outer garment to cover the person.
Forget it, he did indulge himself a bit last night...
"Your Majesty, the medicinal tea from the Imperial Hospital has arrived."
Zhuang Yu walked in with a tea tray and glanced around the hall in confusion. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the king slightly raise his hand and wave. His eyes moved down to a pair of small embroidered shoes exposed beside the king.
He gasped in surprise and quickly lowered his head.
No way, this is Jingming Palace!
