"It's a good thing I married you; most people wouldn't be able to handle it."
Su Wanwan felt very uncomfortable.
He insisted on coming last night, and she just went along with it without refusing.
He made her sound like a slut.
She said in a nonchalant tone, turning her back to him: "If you can't do it, then don't pretend to be a big shot."
Lu Xingjian's eyes instantly turned cold, sinister, like a vicious wolf about to devour someone.
The action was quite domineering; he grabbed her and pulled her over.
The voices were filled with viciousness:
"Don't come crying and begging for mercy later."
Su Wanwan's eyes were filled with a dazed and bewildered look.
She didn't know that what men hate most is being told "no".
It was worse than killing him.
He has to prove himself properly.
Lu Xingjian leaned down and kissed her eyes.
"My wife, don't look at me like that."
"I will be reluctant to leave."
These words made Su Wanwan feel a little bitter.
He was reluctant to leave, yet he was willing to drive her out of Xiaoyuan.
When Su Wanwan was so tired that she couldn't even move her fingers, the man was finally satisfied, dressed neatly, and quietly left.
Before leaving, he bent down and kissed her hair, leaving her with two sentences:
"I can't come often these days, so take good care of yourself and don't cry."
"I'll handle everything else."
Su Wanwan glanced at him; he seemed to be dressed as a guard.
The emperor, dressed as a guard, climbed into the empress's bed in the middle of the night.
It's like they're having an affair.
This is outrageous! Who would believe it?
Some people might even think he's deliberately trying to ruin her reputation.
Su Wanwan was a little annoyed by his words "I don't want to leave".
It's really good when two people have a good relationship.
However, this good thing is so little that it seems insignificant when mixed with a whole bunch of unpleasant things.
However, sexual relations between men and women can still contribute to physical and mental health.
Although she didn't get much sleep for two nights, her sleep quality improved a lot.
After taking a nap, my complexion improved significantly.
I drank an extra bowl of porridge for breakfast this morning.
He Ying smiled broadly, it seemed that the Empress did not take Xiaoyuan's matter to heart at all.
That's the right way to do it.
Aside from the late emperor, which emperor didn't have a harem of women?
Your Majesty should be concerned about getting pregnant and having children as soon as possible to secure your position as Empress.
Love and romance are too illusory; don't take them seriously.
It can't be eaten as food.
In the following days, Su Wanwan listened to Lu Xingjian's advice and did not leave the inner court, nor even leave Kunning Palace.
When palace eunuchs and female officials had to report something, they had to undergo strict checks before they could go to the gate of Kunning Palace to give a reply.
However, Lu Xingjian assigned her ten people, some of whom were highly skilled in martial arts and others who were adept at tracking and solving cases.
Su Wanwan clenched her hands as she saw the row of people standing there.
They looked alright when viewed separately, but when they stood together, the scene was truly appalling.
Because they all have one thing in common—they are extremely ugly.
Under normal circumstances, such a person would never actually reach Lu Xingjian.
I don't know where he got this group of people from.
Su Wanwan wasn't looking for male lovers; she just wanted to utilize their skills, so she wasn't that concerned about their appearance.
She didn't wait for Zhang Zhong to return; she directly sent these people to find Zhang Zhong and assist him with his business.
However.
They didn't find Zhang Zhong, but instead brought back a message.
Zhang Zhong was kidnapped, and the kidnappers demanded 10,000 taels of silver or they would kill him.
Su Wanwan readily agreed, saying that they should arrange a time and place, and she would send someone to deliver the silver notes.
He Ying prepared the silver notes, frowned, and asked, "Your Highness, your monthly allowance is only one thousand taels of silver. Is it worth it to redeem a lowly eunuch with no ability?"
He was just a young eunuch who had only been with her for a few days.
Su Wanwan smiled and said, "You can't count it that way. If someone is mine, they have to be under my protection."
These words resonated not only with He Ying, but also with the young palace maids and eunuchs.
Su Wanwan personally selected He Ying: "I'll send you to deliver the silver notes."
...
On this day, two eunuchs from the Xixin Division delivered red charcoal to Kunning Palace.
Having already changed into her eunuch attire, Su Wanwan calmly stepped forward to replace a junior eunuch, and they carried the empty basket away from the palace.
Meanwhile, the former eunuch changed into women's clothing and, because he looked somewhat similar to Su Wanwan, hid in the bedroom and did not appear in public.
Xixinsi is located in Xiyuan, very close to Xi'an Gate.
Su Wanwan lowered her head and followed the other eunuchs in line to exit through the Xi'an Gate to have their waist tokens checked. Just then, she saw the carriage being escorted quietly drive out.
A slender hand lifted the carriage curtain, and the beautiful face of the lady looked out the window.
A young eunuch whispered, "Has the Emperor taken Miss Ma out for a stroll again? Didn't they just go to the hot springs?"
Su Wanwan clenched her fists.
It turns out that he did more than just take her to hot springs.
He would also bring other women along.
I think of that open-air hot spring pool surrounded by flowers and filled with a hazy, ambiguous atmosphere.
He also played, frolicked, and did errands with Maggie there.
Her heart clenched involuntarily.
An older eunuch lowered his voice and scolded, "Don't look up! If you offend Miss Ma, you'll regret it!"
"Haven't you heard that even the Empress is imprisoned in Kunning Palace?"
"Nowadays, Miss Ma is the most favored concubine in the harem. Yesterday, the size of the dance costume made by the needlework workshop was not right, and two embroiderers were beaten to death."
"How many lives do you dare to waste?"
Su Wanwan pursed her lips.
So she was being held captive.
On the contrary, she herself was unaware that she had been obediently listening to Lu Xingjian and had not left the gates of Kunning Palace these days.
