Chapter 22 Angry Slave, Teasing the Empress!
If Ruyi were to enter, wouldn't she discover those treasures?
Moreover, if I sleep with Ruyi, my true manhood will inevitably be exposed!
These things cannot be made public for the time being!
"Ahem, Ruyi, how about... another day?"
"Another day... but you're a eunuch, how can we reschedule?" Ruyi's voice was tinged with disappointment: "Sigh, Thirty-Brother, you're such a good person, if only you weren't a eunuch..."
Xiao Shisan: "???"
"Ahem, I meant another day, another day!" Xiao Shisan said, leaning against the door.
"Oh, okay!" Ruyi replied excitedly, then her footsteps faded into the distance as she ran away from the spot.
Xiao Shisan breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Shisan returned to the room, crawled back under the bed, and looked at the chest full of gold and silver jewelry, feeling extremely excited.
Then, incredulously, he picked up the book "Huang Ting Jing".
I discovered that the corners of the book were already moldy.
The smell was clearly coming from the book.
Turn to the first page.
Then I saw a line of calligraphy: "The scriptures of Zixiao Temple are to be read by those who are not disciples of this temple!"
Xiao Shisan: "..."
Taoist practices?
Maybe it was stolen from Zixiao Temple by an old eunuch who used to live here?
Does this actually benefit me, Xiao Shisan?
Hmph, you don't want me to read this?
I'll just flip through it and take a look!
Xiao Shisan opened it.
I noticed there are ten chapters in the table of contents.
The core principles are breathing exercises, physical fitness, and some self-defense techniques.
For example, Chapter Ten is "Purple Cloud Palm".
"I can practice this thing when I have free time. Who knows, I might actually master it?"
Xiao Shisan smiled slightly, his gaze falling on the gold and silver jewelry.
With all this gold and silver, even if we take it out of the palace in the future, we can become incredibly wealthy!
Xiao Shisan grabbed a handful of silver, intending to use it for any unforeseen needs.
Then he closed the lid of the box, restored it to its original state, and sat cross-legged on the tatami.
Following the instructions in the *Huang Ting Jing*, I sometimes held my breath and concentrated, sometimes regulated my breathing, and sometimes raised and lowered my palms and the backs of my hands across my chest…
You know what!
It was just a quarter of an hour.
Xiao Shisan felt completely comfortable, and his muscles also felt slightly sore and numb.
At the same time, there is also a feeling of immense strength...
The next day!
Xiao Shisan had just opened his eyes.
The sun was already high in the sky outside the window!
I practiced too late last night, which made me wake up late too!
Recalling Pei Ruohan's stunning beauty and his promise to Consort Xian from the previous night, Xiao Shisan smiled and was about to get up to head to Changchun Palace...
suddenly!
With his exceptional hearing, he heard Liu Yuhe's voice from the west courtyard: "Is the matter settled?"
"Yes, Steward Liu, it's all taken care of. I've already spoken to Dequan at Changchun Palace. I'll have him secretly poison Her Highness's breakfast, and then I'll give him some money to arrange for him to leave the palace and kill her."
"Hmm, as long as the Empress's poison takes effect, Xiao Shisan will inevitably be implicated. Wasn't he just promoted to the position of chief steward? Hmph, whether he can hold that position for long is still unknown!"
Swish!
Xiao Shisan was furious.
Steward Liu of the West Courtyard, having learned his lesson last time, is still not giving up and is even trying to cause trouble again.
I swear I won't rest until I kill Steward Liu!
But the thought of Empress Pei Ruohan having to eat that poisoned breakfast...
moment!
Xiao Shisan's heart skipped a beat.
He put on the red robe belonging to the senior steward and hurriedly left Peach Blossom Studio!
They ran quickly all the way to the palace.
Xiao Shisan was not out of breath, which surprised even himself. Could it be because he was practicing the "Huang Ting Jing"?
"Good morning, Steward Xiao!"
When some eunuchs saw Xiao Shisan arrive, they all bowed and scraped to greet him.
Xiao Shisan suddenly grabbed a eunuch's arm: "Has Her Majesty's breakfast been served yet?"
"It's here, just arrived! It was Dequan who brought it..." the eunuch said, glancing towards the palace gate. "Hmm? Dequan, where are you going?"
Xiao Shisan looked up abruptly and saw the eunuch named Dequan looking flustered: "Ah? I..."
"Keep an eye on him, don't let him get away!!"
Xiao Shisan roared angrily.
"yes!"
Some eunuchs went up and surrounded Dequan, who looked flustered.
Xiao Shisan hurriedly ran towards the Empress's bedroom.
Push open the palace doors!
We arrived at the inner hall.
Ruyi stood before the phoenix bed, gazing at them with tender affection. Her face was flushed, seemingly because of what happened last night.
Empress Pei Ruohan, dressed in a red palace gown and looking as beautiful as a fairy, sat dignifiedly on the couch, holding a bowl of porridge, her beautiful eyes glancing over.
"Xiao Shisan, you're becoming more and more unruly. I am still the Empress, how can you come and go so casually..."
"Have you drunk it yet?" Xiao Shisan asked anxiously.
Pei Ruohan looked puzzled: "What…"
"I asked you if you've had your porridge?" Xiao Shisan raised his voice, his breathing slightly rapid.
Ruyi asked in surprise, "Thirteenth Brother, Her Majesty was just about to drink when you arrived..."
Fortunately, fortunately!
Xiao Shisan breathed a sigh of relief.
She stepped forward and snatched the bowl of porridge from Pei Ruohan's hand, sniffing it...
Others might not be able to smell anything, but Xiao Shisan could smell something unusual in the porridge bowl.
"This porridge is poisoned!"
Xiao Shisan said.
moment!
Empress Pei's stunningly beautiful face was stunned.
She and Ruyi exchanged a surprised glance.
Ruyi hurried over and said, "That's impossible! Dequan brought this over this morning. Dequan has always been loyal to Your Majesty and would never betray you."
Pei Ruohan stood up, her tall figure rising, and took two steps towards them through her white jade high heels, her face cold and beautiful.
"Xiao Shisan, you can't just say things like that!"
"When I first entered the palace as Empress, Dequan served in my palace."
"He appears to be afraid of Chief Steward Liu, but in private, he would always speak ill of Chief Steward Liu to me and Ruyi."
Upon seeing this!
Xiao Shisan shook his head and smiled.
"Your Majesty, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Don't let my sometimes unserious manner fool you; my heart, Xiao Shisan's, is good!"
"But that might not be the case for others!"
Hello?
Hmph, you always want to sleep with me!
Pei Ruohan's face flushed crimson, making her exceptionally beautiful: "I still don't quite believe Dequan would poison me..."
Damn, you still don't believe me?
Xiao Shisan shouted outside, "Let Dequan in!!"
quickly!
Dequan walked in looking flustered and immediately knelt down: "This servant greets Your Majesty the Empress."
Xiao Shisan didn't wait for Pei Ruohan to speak.
He carried the bowl of porridge and came to Dequan's side.
Xiao Shisan, looking down at him angrily, demanded, "Speak! Did you poison this bowl of porridge?!"
"Ah? No, I didn't, Steward Xiao!!" Dequan was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"No?"
Xiao Shisan gave a forced smile and handed the bowl of porridge to De Quan: "Since there isn't any... come on, drink it!!"
moment!
Dequan was terrified, tears streaming down his face, his forehead pounding on the ground with a loud thud.
"Your Majesty, this servant is so sorry!"
"It was that Steward Liu who had someone threaten me, saying that if I didn't obey, he would have me killed!!"
This statement came out.
Ruyi was stunned with fright. If her thirteenth brother had arrived any later, things would have been unimaginable.
Empress Pei Ruohan, her beautiful face even paler, walked slowly in, her long, fair legs faintly visible beneath her skirt as she wore white jade high heels…
But when he walks, he is unsteady and about to fall.
Xiao Shisan quickly supported her arm: "Your Highness, are you alright?"
Thinking back to what had just happened, Pei Ruohan still felt a lingering fear.
Xiao Shisan really saved her life!
Supported by Xiao Shisan, Pei Ruohan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at the kneeling Dequan: "Dequan! I have treated you well, yet you..."
De trembled all over and dared not speak.
"Your Majesty, let me speak."
Xiao Shisan glared at Dequan: "Dequan, listen up, later you're to testify. When you get to Han Shanggong in the Palace Punishment Department, stick to the story that it was Chief Steward Liu who instructed you, understand?!"
Done.
Xiao Shisan felt uneasy, especially since he had spanked Han Shanggong with a ruler last night.
I need to trouble her with something this morning.
What a cruel twist of fate!
"Yes, yes!!"
Dequan hurriedly replied, "I will definitely testify!"
Xiao Shisan narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly. This time, he had to make sure that Steward Liu died!
Ruyi was instructed to take Dequan out of the palace temporarily.
Then, Xiao Shisan helped Pei Ruohan, who was smelling sweet fragrance and looking dejected, to sit down on the couch and lifted her pretty chin with his index finger.
Instantly!
She appeared without makeup, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt.
"Xiao Shisan, what...what are you doing?"
"Listen, next time, I must verify your food before you can use it!" Xiao Shisan said.
Inhaling the delicate fragrance before him, he brought his face close to her beautiful face, lowered his head and kissed her, his lips touching her cherry lips.
In an instant.
Xiao Shisan could even feel her warm breath brushing against his face...
"Hmm!"
Her red lips were constantly being kissed until they were deformed.
By the time she realized what was happening, Xiao Shisan had already turned and walked away.
"Hehe, I, Xiao Shisan, saved your life, Your Majesty. From now on, you are my woman. Consider that kiss a reward!"
Pei Ruohan: "..."
"Xiao Shisan, you've gone too far! You're always making suggestive remarks to me!!"
Pei Ruohan suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, her long, white legs faintly visible beneath her skirt, and her white jade high heels made a clicking sound as she walked.
Her face was already stunningly beautiful, but in her shame and anger, it turned as red as blood, making her exceptionally beautiful!
Xiao Shisan turned around and saw this scene.
My heart skipped a beat.
nice!
So beautiful!
The way the Empress blushed was absolutely mesmerizing!
No, I need to get some perks, otherwise all my work will have been for nothing.
We must strike while the iron is hot!
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was ambiguous.
Xiao Shisan took two steps back, and the instant he got close to her, they were face to face.
moment!
He wrapped his arms tightly around Pei Ruohan's slender waist...
"Flirtatious? I haven't even started yet, haha, Your Majesty, I'll show you what true flirtation is now!"
"Hey, Xiao Shisan!"
