Chapter 13: Taking Down the Imperial Noble Consort!
Back in the palace.
Xiao Shisan noticed it at a glance—
Empress Pei Ruohan, dressed in a scarlet palace dress, with her stunning beauty, was now weakly unconscious in Ruyi's arms.
"Your Majesty? Ruyi, quickly summon the imperial physician!"
Xiao Shisan shouted.
next moment.
Xiao Shisan didn't care about anything else.
He rushed forward, lifted Pei Ruohan's noble and delicate body in his arms, inhaled her pleasant fragrance, and strode quickly into the hall.
Ruyi looked anxious and said from the side that the Empress had fainted many times before.
The imperial physician came and said that the Empress's health was weak and lacked nourishment, which led to this condition.
The imperial physician advised that he should eat some good food to nourish his body.
Ruyi looked troubled: "But Thirteenth Brother, the food, clothing and daily necessities in our Changchun Palace have been repeatedly cut back. Where can we get good food to nourish the Empress?"
Xiao Shisan was furious.
Empress Pei Ruohan is under house arrest, and even the imperial kitchen staff have started bullying her?
This is outrageous!
"Don't worry, I'm fine... I just need some rest!"
Pei Ruohan, nestled in Xiao Shisan's arms, slowly opened her beautiful eyes. Her voice was weak, but her authority remained:
"You eunuch, how dare you embrace me like this? What kind of decorum would this be if someone saw us?"
She was very embarrassed; no man had ever held her like this before.
"Your Majesty, you're already in such a state, why do you still care about these empty formalities!" Ruyi said with red eyes and a worried expression.
Xiao Shisan gently placed Pei Ruohan's body on the phoenix couch, then sat down in front of it and sighed, "That's right. Your Majesty's health is the most important thing; everything else is secondary... so don't worry about it."
Of course you don't care!
You're like a fake eunuch, always trying to take advantage of me... Pei Ruohan's beautiful eyes flickered, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Seeing Pei Ruohan remain silent, her red lips tightly closed, looking as if she had something on her mind.
Xiao Shisan stood up and looked at the pretty palace maid Ruyi, who looked anxious.
"Ruyi, please take good care of Her Majesty the Empress for me."
"I'll go to the Imperial Noble Consort's Chuxiu Palace; maybe I can sort out this matter of food, clothing, and daily necessities!"
Currently, Imperial Noble Consort Murong Yuhe of Chuxiu Palace holds the most real power in the harem.
They've found the right person: the Imperial Noble Consort.
"Okay, then... Thirteenth Brother, you go quickly!"
Ruyi urged.
Xiao Shisan nodded, turned around and left the main hall.
After Xiao Shisan left.
I heard the sound of the palace doors closing.
Ruyi bowed and leaned closer.
"Your Majesty, Thirteenth Brother treats you so well."
"Right now, although Thirteenth Brother didn't do it himself, he used a little trick to get rid of Steward Liu, who often bullies us, through the Imperial Noble Consort!"
"But why... do I always feel that you're wary of him?"
Pei Ruohan blushed slightly, looking exceptionally beautiful.
He is indeed clever and capable...
But if we don't take precautions, he might go even further now.
They even dared to kiss me before!
Pei Ruohan, afraid of being discovered, flashed a look of panic in her beautiful eyes:
"I...I am worried that he is working for the Left Prime Minister Li Sidao and is asking me about the whereabouts of the treasure map fragments."
"The treasure map is a matter of great importance and must be handled with utmost care!"
"Ruyi, you must keep a close eye on him. If he does anything unusual, tell me immediately."
Pei Ruohan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she bit her red lips tightly. She was conflicted about whether or not to completely trust Xiao Shisan.
"Yes, I understand."
Ruyi agreed, thinking to herself that the Empress was indeed very wary.
These words could not escape Xiao Shisan's ears.
Xiao Shisan walked out of the palace courtyard, shaking his head and smiling.
Only he and the Empress knew what kind of ambiguous things had happened between them.
How could the Empress not be on guard?
If I hadn't been careful, I might be lying next to the Empress right now!
Right now, things are moving in a positive direction; even if Steward Liu doesn't die, he'll be crippled.
He was practically the head steward of Changchun Palace.
At the very least, he had kissed the Empress before, and their relationship was already somewhat ambiguous.
However, the Empress is still weak and needs to be properly nourished!
Xiao Shisan was determined.
He jogged toward Chuxiu Palace.
Chuxiu Palace and Changchun Palace both belong to the Western Six Palaces, so they are not far apart.
"Oh, Eunuch Xiao, you've arrived?"
"Your Highness, the Imperial Noble Consort said that since you have arrived, you may go in directly."
The head eunuch of Chuxiu Palace, knowing that Xiao Shisan was currently favored, also fawned over him.
"Hehe, I'm going right now!" Xiao Shisan greeted the head eunuch Wu and headed out of the hall.
He was secretly annoyed!
Pooh!
What, Eunuch Xiao?
I am a man, a real man!
Xiao Shisan was not very satisfied with the title "Eunuch Xiao".
"By the way, Eunuch Wu, don't call me Eunuch Xiao next time!" Xiao Shisan turned around and corrected him.
"Not call you Eunuch Xiao? Then..."
As Wu Gonggong pondered Xiao Shisan's words, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and stepped forward, saying, "Could it be that you want to adopt me as your godson? Oh, godfather, that's exactly what I'm thinking! We're truly of the same mind."
Xiao Shisan: "..."
This eunuch Wu looked to be several years older than Xiao Shisan.
It felt really awkward to be called "godfather" by him.
However, this is also Wu Gonggong's way of surviving: getting close to those who are favored is a very clever move.
"No, I didn't mean that. Just call me by my name." Xiao Shisan was startled.
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wu was slightly disappointed, but his face became obsequious: "How dare I... Hehehe, then I'll just call you Brother Thirteen!"
Xiao Shisan dared not waste any more words with Eunuch Wu. He didn't want this fellow to ask him to be his lover again while they were chatting, which would be even more disgusting!
Xiao Shisan shivered and came to the front of the main hall. Before he could speak, he saw some palace maids walking out in a line with their heads down.
Upon seeing this!
As Xiao Shisan stepped into the hall, the door was closed by a palace maid.
"Your Majesty, your servant has arrived. Hehe... I thank Your Majesty for standing up for me and giving Steward Liu a good beating."
"You've arrived, so come in quickly..." The languid voice of Imperial Noble Consort Murong Yuhe came from the inner palace.
Xiao Shisan entered the inner hall.
next moment.
Then I saw the Imperial Noble Consort in a pale yellow dress, her flawless face resting on one hand, her plump, graceful, and noble body reclining on the couch.
A pair of long, jade-like legs were casually crossed, her snow-white feet were delicate and her toes were as slender as scallions, like the finest works of art. Her white jade high heels were placed in front of the couch...
On the couch lay the eighteen or nineteen-year-old Imperial Noble Consort Murong Yuhe, her fair and radiant thighs barely concealed by the slit in her palace dress.
Xiao Shisan was stunned.
She's a real beauty.
This is a real test of my composure!
"I've missed you so much since we last met!"
"Thirteen, come here quickly and massage my feet. You are allowed to sit on my couch."
Murong Yuhe's clear eyes were like water, rippling with spring waves, her red lips slightly parted, her charming smile was exceptionally captivating.
Glug!
Xiao Shisan swallowed hard, knowing he had to serve this Imperial Noble Consort well.
She's a big shot, I have to get on her good side.
Isn't the emperor incapable?
I don't know if it's okay for me to reveal my fake eunuch identity now!
Hmph, today's goal: to win over the Imperial Noble Consort!
"Ouch, mmm...that feels good!"
"Xiao Shisan, I'm afraid I can't live without your skills anymore. Who did you learn your massage techniques from? It's so comfortable."
Wasn't it all because of Wei Gonggong's previous actions?
It was said that the Imperial Noble Consort enjoyed massages, and he was asked to please her.
Looking at Murong Yuhe, who was enjoying herself with her eyes closed and a blissful expression on her face, Xiao Shisan chuckled as he massaged her feet:
"Your Majesty, I learned from an old master. By the way, Your Majesty, last time I heard you say that the Emperor is a cripple?"
Xiao Shisan first probed the Imperial Noble Consort's opinion!
"Yes, I heard it was His Majesty. He was assassinated and wounded in the abdomen, rendering him unable to perform sexual acts!"
Murong Yuhe closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment, her red lips parted as she answered lazily.
The emperor really is a damn useless person!
So, does that mean I'm the only real man in the palace?
Xiao Shisan nodded, smiling broadly as he leaned closer and said:
"Hehe, Your Majesty, what if you found a eunuch among your ranks who hadn't been properly castrated..."
Xiao Shisan didn't dare to continue.
He dared not reveal his true identity as a man to gamble; he needed to understand her attitude first!
"Hmph, once they discover he's a fake eunuch, he's definitely not going to survive!"
Murong Yuhe opened her pretty eyes, a smile playing on her lips, her eyes sparkling with a peach blossom-like joy: "Only you have caught my eye..."
Suddenly!
Murong Yuhe sat up, her delicate brows furrowing.
"Hiss, Thirteen, why are you asking this? Are you a real man?"
