Chapter 680 Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 40
Just as his hand was about to hold Quan Jiu's hand, the originally closed wardrobe door suddenly trembled.
Chu Tuo stopped immediately, his eyes alert: "Who?"
The closet was silent, without any sound.
Quan Jiu paused in his movements to break the medicine, pursed his thin lips, walked to the wardrobe and closed the window.
"Maybe the wind is too strong."
When passing by the wardrobe, her peripheral vision fell on the gap between the two doors, and she happened to meet a sharp gaze.
Chu Tuo thought of the guards at the door and felt that he was too sensitive:
"The investigation into the hunting grounds hasn't yielded any results yet. I'm just being too paranoid."
"Admiral Shen, haven't you found out who's behind this yet?" Quan Jiu walked slowly to the long table.
Chu Tuo frowned, disgust flashing in his eyes:
"Even if he finds out, he may not report it truthfully."
Quan Jiu pretended to be surprised: "No way?"
"My dear, you have just arrived at the palace. You may not know this, but Chen Lang is a wicked and ambitious man. He relies on the power of the East Factory and does not take the ministers in the court seriously. He even disobeys my orders."
Chu Tuo was sitting facing the wardrobe, and his face darkened at the mere mention of Shen Lang's name.
"I suspect he is responsible for the wolf pack in this hunting ground."
Quan Jiu raised the corner of his mouth:
"Hearing what Your Majesty said, it seems that Chen Lang's intentions are indeed not right. To be honest, Your Majesty, I have met him several times. He has a violent temper and ruthless tactics. He is relentless towards his servants, either beating or scolding them. It is truly a misfortune for all people that such a person is in charge of the East Depot..."
There was no surprise in Chu Tuo's eyes. He had sent people to monitor Chen Lang and her interactions. They had had several conflicts, and he knew all about them.
"My dear, you are the most sensible..."
He reached out to hold the back of Quan Jiu's hand.
Quan Jiu dodged flexibly: "It's getting late, Your Majesty should go back early. If you don't return to the palace soon, the Empress will come to my place to look for me."
Chu Tuo looked displeased: "I am the ruler of a country, how can she control where I go?"
Quan Jiu chose not to speak.
Seeing that she was really reluctant, Chu Tuo sighed and for the first time decided not to force her.
"My dear, you still need to make the elixir, so I won't disturb you. Please go to bed early."
He stepped out the door.
Almost at the same moment, the wardrobe door opened and a pair of hands hugged her soft waist from behind.
"Bad temper?"
"Ruthless tactics?"
The man held her in his arms and spoke into her ear, his breath hot.
Quan Jiu didn't resist: "You know I'm just trying to deal with his nonsense."
Shen Lang's dark eyes were bottomless. Thinking that Chu Tuo almost hugged her, he felt cold all over.
"There is one thing you are right about..."
"What?"
"Not having the right mind."
As soon as he finished speaking, the world spun around and Quan Jiu was pressed down on the medicine table.
Her back was pressed against the table, her feet hanging outside the table, and she pushed the medicine bowl away, which rolled to the side.
Shen Lang moved his five fingers slightly and took off her white jade mask, revealing her delicate facial features.
"I hate the way he looks at you."
A cruel and vicious look flashed in his eyes.
The man's slender fingertips brushed across her eyebrows, along the bridge of her nose, to her small nose, and continued to slide down...
Even though he already knew her plan, he still couldn't stand seeing this scene.
Quan Jiu grabbed his wrist: "It won't be long..."
Shen Lang remained silent.
"He still needs to use Prime Minister He to contain you, so he won't offend He Miaomiao openly, and naturally he won't touch me either."
Quan Jiu patted his hand soothingly.
Shen Lang's brows were still furrowed: "How about we try a different plan..."
"Firstly, your plan will incur huge losses, and secondly, it will only pull Chu Tuo off the throne. I am unwilling to accept this."
Quan Jiu thought about the eleven lives Chu Tuo owed her, and her dark eyes were bottomless.
"But……"
Shen Lang wanted to say something, but Quan Jiu grabbed his collar and blocked his lips.
Shen Lang's dark eyes suddenly darkened.
This was the first time she took the initiative.
Quan Jiu hooked her arms around his neck and pulled him down. Her slender swan neck tilted up slightly, rising and falling, stinging Shen Lang's eyes.
"Focus."
She bit his earlobe punishingly.
Chen Lang's whole body trembled, and his muscles stiffened visibly. A faint smile flashed in Quan Jiu's eyes. He tilted his head back and held his Adam's apple in his mouth, his eyes full of charm.
The man's dull and suppressed voice overflowed. Before she could continue, Shen Lang took the initiative, lifted her wrists above her head, and took over the initiative.
After the kiss, neither of them was satisfied.
The medicine table beneath him turned into a soft bed.
Quan Jiu breathed rapidly, his ten fingers fell on his belt, and with a light pull, the belt fell lightly to the ground.
It was at this moment that Shen Lang suddenly trembled all over and stopped as if waking from a dream.
"What's wrong?" Quan Jiu looked up in confusion.
Chen Lang was facing away from the light, his features hidden in the darkness, and Quan Jiu couldn't see his expression clearly.
"……fine."
Even as he said this, his rapid movements stopped.
Quan Jiu frowned slightly and wanted to stand up to see his face clearly, but Chen Lang suddenly stretched out his arms, hugged her forcefully in his arms, and lay down.
"sleep."
She had her back to him, his arms around her waist, her head against his chest. She could only hear his still-uncalm breathing but couldn't see his face.
As the passion cooled, Quan Jiu suddenly realized that her future husband...
He is an out-and-out eunuch.
Eunuch party!
eunuch!
The powerful eunuch! !
A bucket of cold water rushed down.
Quan Jiu looked conflicted and wanted to turn around to face him, but Chen Lang didn't allow her and held her waist to prevent her from turning over.
"Chen Lang."
Her tone still carried the softness from before.
"Um."
The man has a strong nasal voice.
Quan Jiu put himself in the other's shoes and thought about it. He felt that he was a eunuch and must be extremely inferior at this moment.
"Actually... eunuchs... aren't impossible."
Her eyes flickered.
Eunuchs can also have "eunuch happiness".
"I don't dislike you."
She grabbed his big hands that were around her waist and tried to convince him that she was not a "lecher".
Chen Lang: “…”
He knew she had misunderstood something, but he didn't intend to explain. After all, his current situation was not much better than that of a real eunuch.
"knew."
He smelled her hair. Because she had been refining medicine for many years, she had a faint medicinal fragrance on her body. It was not pungent or unpleasant, but rather soothing.
Quan Jiu had thought about the possibility that he was a fake eunuch, but when she felt "his calmness", the last bit of hope in her heart disappeared completely.
She held the back of his hand and rubbed it gently, as if to comfort him.
Chen Lang imagined her sad and distressed expression at the moment, and a trace of warmth inexplicably rose in his heart.
"Long Creek."
He suddenly called her, his tone more gentle than ever before.
"Um?"
"Long Creek."
There was another sound, the deep voice was even softer than before.
"Here I am."
The two held hands tightly.
