Xu Shou's mind was spinning quickly and he hurriedly said: "The emperor doesn't like drinking this lotus seed soup, so I will take it away now."
"Wait a minute," Xiao Langyan raised his sharp eyebrows, "Zhang Guiren is still outside the door?"
"Back to the Emperor, yes."
"Let her come in, I have something to ask."
After a while, Zhang Guiren was led in by Xu Shou. She didn't dare to raise her head all the way. When she reached the table, she softly said hello.
"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty." Her voice was so sweet that it dripped with honey. She raised her eyes inadvertently and saw behind the table, Xiao Langyan, dressed in a vermilion dragon robe, with sharp black eyebrows, a straight nose and thin lips, extremely handsome!
Zhang Guiren quickly lowered his head, half of his face turned red.
Looking at her shy look, Xiao Langyan said expressionlessly: "Who asked you to make this soup?"
The delicate smile on Zhang Guiren's face froze and he said, "I... I did it myself."
Xiao Langyan sneered coldly: "I asked who taught you how to make this soup."
Zhang Guiren hesitated and said it was his own idea.
"Xu Shou," Xiao Langyan lost his patience and ordered coldly, "Drag her out and beat her thirty times."
Zhang Guiren's beauty turned pale and he hurriedly raised his head: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please spare my life! It was the imperial concubine who came up with the idea."
She was almost dragged away by the Custodes.
Xiao Langyan saw that she was willing to attack, so he waved his hand to signal the imperial troops to retreat.
Zhang Guiren collapsed on the ground, sweating profusely.
She saw the pair of dragon boots with black soles and gold patterns, walking around the table and stopping in front of her. She smelled the cold breath on Xiao Langyan's body. She no longer felt shy like before, but was frightened and trembling all over.
"The imperial concubine's idea? So, the plate of poria cakes that Guiren Tong sent at noon, was she the one who gave Guilin Tong some advice?" Xiao Langyan narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
Zhang Guiren dared not to take action. He suppressed his fear and nodded: "Concubine, I competed with Guiren Tong for favor outside the royal study yesterday, which made the emperor unhappy. After that...then I went to ask Concubine Shen for justice."
"But the imperial concubine was considerate of the two of them, just giving them a lesson, and then came up with an idea. The empress said that although the two of them made mistakes, they were all for the emperor, so the empress asked Tong Guiren to send Poria cakes at noon, and then suggested to the concubines. I will give you lotus seed soup in the evening. Apart from this, I really don’t know anything else!”
As she said this, tears streamed down her cheeks, causing her makeup and makeup to smear, and her face was streaked with white and red, looking extremely embarrassed.
Xiao Langyan's jawline tightened and his throat rolled several times. He nodded slowly, his thin eyes filled with dark danger and anger!
Shen Dingzhu is very good!
Sending two noble people to him one day, I hope he favors others!
Yesterday, he just felt her jealousy and concern, and today, she was like this again.
Zhang Guiren's cry was pitiful, as if he was afraid before death, but he suppressed his voice and cried like plucked strings, which was annoying.
"Go away," Xiao Langyan tossed his sleeves and scolded angrily, "Take your lotus seed soup and go away!"
Zhang Guiren hurriedly got up, hugged the food box and retreated, seeming to be running away.
Quiet at night.
Shen Dingzhu was soaking in the tub, her milky white skin pink and tender. She closed her eyes, enjoying the comfort of being surrounded by hot water.
On the window sill nearby, a piece of cold fragrance was burning.
The smoke was misty, and under the light of the lamps and candles, the beauty's face became plumper and more beautiful, like a peach filled with water and sweet juice.
She turned her head and leaned against the edge of the barrel, falling asleep.
Shen Dingzhu felt so comfortable because she knew that Xiao Langyan would probably not come over tonight. She had just begged him for mercy yesterday, and when he saw that the red marks on her body were still there, he gave in.
Xiao Langyan should still be dealing with government affairs today, or he might have gone to the palace of Guiren Zhang or Guiren Tong.
Just as Shen Dingzhu was thinking about it, the curtain hanging at the door behind her was suddenly blown by the wind. She didn't look back, she only felt the night wind mixed with the summer heat.
She pinched her neck: "Shen Bi, help me press my shoulders and add half a bucket of water."
Shen Bi did not answer, only the sound of heavy footsteps approaching.
A big palm, with scorching warmth, pressed on her shoulder.
Shen Dingzhu's closed beautiful eyes suddenly opened, and she immediately looked back, only to see Xiao Langyan's tall figure covering her petite and white body.
His thin eyes were dark and captivating, and his expression had an indescribable gloom and coldness.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty?" Shen Dingzhu was surprised, and her beautiful eyes glanced behind him in a panic. As expected, Granny Song and the others were kneeling on the ground, not daring to express their anger.
It seemed that Xiao Langyan didn't want them to remind them aloud.
The panic gradually faded from Shen Dingzhu's pretty and plump face, and she turned to cover her chest, her cheeks red: "Why is the emperor coming at this hour? It's better to tell me in advance so that I can pick him up."
Seeing her so well-behaved, there was only a hint of indifferent sneer on Xiao Langyan's cold face.
He clasped Shen Dingzhu's shoulders with his big palm and pressed her forcefully against the edge of the barrel. Then, he bent down slightly and said in a deep and beautiful voice: "I want you to come to see you, and I have to inform you in advance, okay?"
Shen Dingzhu's red lips curled up into a forced smile: "I don't mean that."
Xiao Langyan's big palm went down her shoulder and held a soft ball under the slightly swaying water. Shen Dingzhu frowned in pain.
She raised her white face, and water drops slid down her beautiful brow bones. She was so beautiful, like the most proud darling of the gods.
Shen Dingzhu looked at him pitifully: "Your Majesty, I am not well today and cannot serve you."
As she spoke, her slender, boneless hands were put into the water and held down his wanton big palm.
Xiao Langyan raised his eyebrows: "Really? But I just want it, what should you do?"
Shen Dingzhu bit his lip and looked at him with moist, dark beautiful eyes. Although he said nothing, it seemed as if he had said many words of pleading softly.
Only then did Xiao Langyan realize that he had been confused by such eyes many times, and then fell into pity.
His thin lips were slightly opened, and his eyes were dark and hot: "If you agree, I will take you out of the palace to worship the gods tomorrow. You can see your family and Chengcheng."
Shen Dingzhu's beautiful face was slightly wrinkled, but when she heard his words, it was as if a hibiscus flower had bloomed in an instant, and her eyes were ignited with joyful smiles.
"Seriously?" she asked.
Xiao Langyan lowered his head and bit the tip of her lip with his thin lips, representing his answer with his actions.
Shen Dingzhu let go of the hand that was slightly resisting. As Xiao Langyan expected, she obediently stretched out her arms and hugged his neck. She endured his biting and suffocating kiss.
Xiao Langyan felt particularly cold in his heart.
Sure enough, he laid out the conditions she wanted, and she let him deal with it.
Shen Dingzhu doesn't love him at all, she just needs him to help the Shen family.
Thinking of this, Xiao Langyan held her soft hand and gradually tightened it.
Even if the beauty in front of her was kissed by him, she would inevitably moan in pain. She licked him pitifully, thinking that this action was a tacit agreement between them to beg for mercy, but this time, Xiao Langyan ignored it.
Xiao Langyan's kiss today was particularly different. It was like a fight. He was conquering the city and trying to occupy every inch of her mouth.
And the big palm under the water gradually moved down, passing through the flat belly, going deeper and deeper.
The door was closed behind Xu Shou.
Shen Dingzhu endured the hum that overflowed from her lips. As the firelight flickered, she looked at Xiao Langyan pleadingly: "Can you go to the couch? It's not good here..."
Xiao Langyan's dragon sleeves were wet and turned into black ink, just like the coldness in his eyes. He had been overwhelmed by the sea of desire, but his thin eyes were still as cold as snow.
"No," he kissed her thin white neck, "right here."
Shen Dingzhu was startled, and then she felt his fingertips tracing a certain place, instantly making her body feel like water, allowing him to gallop and slaughter her.
The sound of water crackled and swayed, and the fire candles in the room burned fiercely until they turned into solidified and dried tear ashes.
