Chapter 9 Xiao 3, quickly release me!
moment!
Xiao Shisan's icy lips suddenly captured the cherry-like mouth of Pei Ruohan, the most beautiful woman in the Great Xia Dynasty and the noble Empress.
Pei Ruohan's bright, peach-blossom eyes widened suddenly, and her mind went completely blank.
Only then did she belatedly realize... she'd been tricked!
Pei Ruohan was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. When she saw how pitiful Xiao Shisan sounded, she softened and agreed to let him hug her.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shisan went too far, even daring to kiss her!
She was the Empress, the Empress of a nation!
"Damn it!"
"Xiao Shisan, release me immediately—"
Pei Ruohan frowned, feeling both ashamed and angry, and hurriedly pushed her pale hand towards him.
As Xiao Shisan was pushed back a step, she raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
Snapped!
The crisp sound rang out as a slap landed squarely on Xiao Shisan's left cheek.
Although his cheeks were burning, Xiao Shisan felt secretly delighted.
It was just a kiss and a hug, but this is already a huge step forward!
Xiao Shisan raised his hand to touch his burning left cheek, a smile in his eyes, his gaze fixed on the noble and beautiful empress before him.
Pei Ruohan's red palace dress fit her perfectly. At this moment, she was so angry that her chest heaved violently, as if she wanted to burst out of the dress, outlining a beautiful curve.
This sight was a real treat for Xiao Shisan!
Tsk tsk, how wonderful it would be if one day I could feast on that delicious food again… Xiao Shisan couldn’t help but lick his lips, savoring the brief kiss from just now.
"Xiao Shisan!"
"You...you're still laughing?"
Seeing him grinning mischievously and staring at him…
Pei Ruohan's cheeks flushed, and she adopted a cool and aloof posture, looking away with her peach-blossom eyes.
"Hmph, if others knew what you just did to me, even if you, Xiao Shisan, had a hundred heads, it wouldn't be enough to chop them off!"
Xiao Shisan chuckled: "Nobody knows, Your Majesty, it's our secret."
"Pah! Who...who has a secret from you?!"
Pei Ruohan was both ashamed and angry, her peach-blossom cheeks flushed red, and her peach-blossom eyes glared at her: "Xiao Shisan, listen to me, today you must kill Steward Liu, otherwise, I will not be polite to you."
She put on a very stern and fierce expression.
However, Xiao Shisan, who had already figured out her temper, was not afraid at all.
At this moment, in Xiao Shisan's eyes, the more fierce she pretended to be, the more adorable she appeared...
"Yes, sir!"
"Hehe, if Her Majesty wants Steward Liu dead by midnight, I will absolutely not let him live until dawn!"
Xiao Shisan had just finished speaking!
Then Ruyi came in carrying a tray.
"Your Highness, I heard that Steward Liu did not come today."
"He asked the eunuch to help him request a day off, saying he wasn't feeling well!!"
Has Steward Liu taken leave?
Swish!
Xiao Shisan and Pei Ruohan were both stunned.
Pei Ruohan glared at Xiao Shisan with embarrassment and annoyance. She thought to herself, "Didn't I just get hugged by Xiao Shisan for nothing?"
I felt sorry for him, but he still managed to kiss me forcibly.
That bastard!
That's incredibly bold!
A eunuch actually had an interest in women...
wrong!
He just looked like a lecher... Could he be a fake eunuch?
Thinking about this!
Pei Ruohan's voluptuous body trembled. She was startled by her own thoughts, and her beautiful eyes flashed like lightning as she looked at Xiao Shisan in disbelief.
Steward Liu didn't come... Xiao Shisan frowned, seemingly lost in thought, then stepped forward:
"Your Majesty, that bastard Steward Liu even had someone kill me yesterday... He's asking for leave because he probably wants to distance himself from the matter and doesn't want to be involved in the killing of me..."
"He'll come again tomorrow, and I, Xiao Shisan, will definitely not let him get away with it!"
Pei Ruohan looked preoccupied, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She nodded slightly without saying anything more.
She had Ruyi bring the tray to the bedside.
The two—Pei Ruohan, who sat on the couch, and Ruyi, who squatted below—were eating their meal in small bites, drinking the thin porridge in their bowls.
Xiao Shisan was extremely embarrassed.
Leaving is not an option, staying is not an option either.
Even Ruyi sensed something was wrong and whispered to Pei Ruohan, "Your Majesty, did Thirteenth Brother upset you?"
"No...no!"
Pei Ruohan pretended to be unaffected, but her face was flushed. She quickly looked at Xiao Shisan and said, "You may leave! We'll wait until he's on duty at Changchun Palace before we act on the matter of killing Steward Liu!"
"Yes, sir!"
Xiao Shisan smiled and clasped his hands in greeting. When he noticed the thin porridge in Pei Ruohan's bowl, he casually remarked, "Your Majesty, you are the Empress, is this all you eat?"
Pei Ruohan's eyes dimmed, and she remained silent.
Ruyi sighed, "Thirteenth Brother, you don't know this. Originally, the treatment in Changchun Palace was quite good, but, in order to obtain the fragments of the treasure map... not only did he force the Empress's family to commit suicide, but he also confined us and reduced the treatment we received in Changchun Palace..."
"Ruyi! Stop talking! Let's eat."
"What's the point of talking to a lowly eunuch like him?" Pei Ruohan interrupted Ruyi without even glancing at Xiao Shisan.
Ruyi didn't know what else to say, so she silently drank her porridge.
Treasure map?
Xiao Shisan didn't know what the treasure map was, but the Empress was under house arrest and wasn't having a good time either...
Aren't these things opportunities for me to show off?
Otherwise, if she lives a good life and wields immense power, what use is she to me?
"Your Majesty!"
"We're all in the same boat now."
"Rest assured, from this day forward, I, Xiao Shisan... will shoulder all the burdens facing Changchun Palace!!"
That's all!
Xiao Shisan feigned seriousness, suddenly clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned around with the most dashing posture, and strode confidently toward the palace gate...
As one wishes:"……"
Pei Ruohan: "..."
Both master and servant were stunned.
We arrived outside the hall.
Xiao Shisan patted his chest.
Damn, pretending to be cool is exhausting.
But as long as you pretend, you have to keep your word.
The Imperial Noble Consort of Chuxiu Palace—he still has to rely on her.
Therefore, the first thing to do is to go to Chuxiu Palace to pay respects to Imperial Noble Consort Murong Yuhe. She also said that Xiao Shisan should pay his respects to her every day...
In the palace courtyard.
Some eunuchs who were sweeping the palace grounds saw Xiao Shisan and greeted him politely with nods and bows.
Xiao Shisan nodded in response with a smile on his face.
"stop!!"
"Xiao? Xiao Shisan? You...where are you going?"
Just as they were about to leave the palace.
A group of eunuchs rushed out from the gate and blocked Xiao Shisan's path. They were all very surprised to see that Xiao Shisan was unharmed...
Clearly, these were not eunuchs from Changchun Palace, but they were certainly Liu's trusted confidants.
Xiao Shisan smiled and said, "It's like this... Her Highness the Imperial Noble Consort asked me to go to Chuxiu Palace to pay my respects, so I have to go."
A fat eunuch sneered.
"No eunuch of Changchun Palace may leave the palace gates at will."
"Even a high-ranking palace maid like Ruyi has a eunuch accompanying her when she goes to collect her three meals a day."
"These are the rules set by the higher-ups!!"
Depend on!
So, ever since I entered Changchun Palace, even I've been under house arrest?
But we can't skip going to Chuxiu Palace, can we?
That Imperial Noble Consort is the one I'm clinging to!
Xiao Shisan was furious inside, but smiled slightly: "How about this? You all keep an eye on me and come with me to Chuxiu Palace..."
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Pooh!"
Who do you think you are?
"You think we'll just follow you because you tell us to?"
They all looked at him with disdain: "We all listen to Steward Liu. You can only go if Steward Liu gives his approval!"
Xiao Shisan: "..."
It's Steward Liu again?
Oh shit!
When he comes tomorrow, I'm going to kill him!
"Hehe, okay, okay, then I won't go—" Xiao Shisan said, then turned and left.
then!
Suddenly, he heard the eunuchs behind him whispering:
"Quickly, go tell Steward Liu that Xiao Shisan is still alive and well!"
"Yes, yes!!"
How could these words escape Xiao Shisan's keen ears?
Xiao Shisan's eyes flashed with murderous intent... It seems we can't wait until tomorrow!
