The Spring Mountain in Sight.
A series of crackling noises echoed, filled with intense fury.
"You said that bitch got away? Useless!
"All of you are good-for-nothings!"
Wang Chengbi's face was gloomy. She raged like a madwoman, "How could that bitch disappear? Go, send people to look for her. Anyone will do. We must never let His Majesty get close to her.
"If anything goes wrong this time, I'll chop off your heads!"
Xueliu's body trembled. With two big handprint marks on her face and bloodstained lips, she nodded repeatedly.
Wang Chengbi watched Xueliu's staggering figure running out. A trace of uneasiness flashed across her enraged heart.
It was as if something had disappeared along with that fading figure.
More importantly, her right eyelid kept twitching, as if something bad was about to happen.
In the night of the palace, several figures shuttled through like ghosts. A faint smell of blood spread but didn't have time to linger.
Suddenly, thunder roared in the air. Immediately, bean-sized raindrops fell.
The bloodstains that couldn't see the light of day in the dark night were washed away, as if nothing had happened.
In the middle of the night, a shrill scream pierced through the roof of the Spring Mountain in Sight.
Wang Chengbi's face turned deathly pale. As soon as she woke up from a doze, she saw two bloodied heads with open eyes hanging from the beam of the palace hall, staring at her. She immediately fainted.
The maids in the Spring Mountain in Sight were instantly at a loss, panicking.
However, Miss Xueliu had gone out and hadn't returned for a long time. The remaining maids had never served closely before, so they didn't know what to do for a moment.
In the panic, a second-rank maid named Fuliuyou's eyes flashed, and she stepped forward.
Preparing hot water, inviting the imperial doctor, and reporting to the Nine Continents Clear Feast and the Jade Terrace Golden Phoenix... Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
Fuliuyou always accompanied Wang Chengbi personally, serving her wholeheartedly.
When the Lady woke up, she would tell her how Sister Xueliu had been gone all night and hadn't returned, not knowing where she was hiding.
After all, a maid who couldn't share the Lady's worries didn't deserve to be the first-rank senior maid beside the Concubine Xian.
The commotion in the Spring Mountain in Sight at midnight was nothing compared to that in the Nine Continents Clear Feast.
The summer rain was urgent and violent. The bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground, gathering into a small lake and causing tiny waves to surge.
The water in the magnificent palace with full spring charm was changed once, but soon, the water in the white jade pool heated up again.
It was like the water splashing against the riverbank, making continuous sounds.
The sound of the rain outside the palace seemed to be a stimulating melody, echoing in the empty and luxurious hall, rippling circles of ripples.
Liang Jiusi listened to the commotion in the palace. His old face beamed with joy like a chrysanthemum.
He had said that he, the grand eunuch in charge of the inner palace, couldn't be wrong.
He had long said that His Majesty had special feelings for Miss Ling Shan.
Look, His Majesty's changing expression was almost as fast as him scrubbing the chamber pot.
"Father-in-law, someone from the Spring Mountain in Sight has come. They look extremely embarrassed and say that the Concubine Xian has had an accident and fainted. They are begging to see His Majesty."
Liang Jiusi's chrysanthemum-like face immediately sank. He waved his whisk, his eyes full of coldness.
"Go, tell them that His Majesty has been exhausted from dealing with state affairs for days and has already retired. If she's sick, just invite the imperial doctor."
Humph.
It's not like someone has died. How could His Majesty have the time to go and see an enemy in the middle of the night in the rain?
It's simply ridiculous.
No one should disturb His Majesty and Miss Ling Shan's good time tonight.
Not to mention if the Concubine Xian has died. Even if the Queen Mother... has died, they have to wait until His Majesty and Miss Ling Shan are done.
The young eunuch got the clear answer and immediately straightened his back to reject the maid from the Spring Mountain in Sight.
"His Majesty has already retired. If the Concubine Xian is unwell, just invite the imperial doctor."
A look of panic flashed across the maid's wet face. She quickly reached out and grabbed the young eunuch's hand, and the umbrella on her head immediately fell.
"Father-in-law, young father-in-law, please go and announce for us again. There was an assassin in the Lady's palace. In a blatant act of treason, there were even dead heads hanging. The Lady was so frightened that she fainted. Please ask His Majesty to show mercy..."
The young eunuch felt a sticky and disgusting feeling when his hand was grabbed by the wet one.
He shook it off mercilessly, his face displeased:
"Presumptuous! It's late at night, the dew is heavy, and the rain is pouring heavily. If the Concubine Xian is unwell, she should invite the imperial doctor. How can she let His Majesty's precious body be harmed? If you keep causing trouble and don't know the rules, be careful that I won't be polite to you."
What a thing! His Majesty is of noble status. When has he been someone that anyone can see whenever they want?
Moreover, whether this maid can report back properly or will encounter any trouble has nothing to do with them, the attendants in front of the imperial court.
Not to mention that the Concubine Xian is a daughter of the Wang family. His Majesty isn't so stupid as to go and show pity on someone in the middle of the night in the rain.
—
Spring rain is as precious as oil, while summer rain stirs the heart.
After a night of passion, Jun Wuyuan was so excited that he tossed and turned in bed, just like flipping pancakes. He also tossed Ling Shan around several times.
Ling Shan's lustful poison had been cured in the second half of the night, but soon she was dragged into a new wave of passion.
Then she was in a continuous state: coming back to life and then dying again.
Her delicate and charming sobs accompanied the sound of raindrops on the eaves throughout the night. Her blushing cheeks were as bright and eye-catching as Chinese flowering crabapples.
Hearing Ling Shan's cat-like scolding when passion reached its peak, Jun Wuyuan's eyes were full of indulgence.
Strangely enough, he even found those disrespectful words that defied the superior pleasant to the ear.
Not to mention that Jun Wuyuan was so naughty that he didn't sleep all night. He just rubbed and pinched Ling Shan who had finally fallen asleep. From time to time, he would steal a kiss proudly and then get a slap on the face.
The slap on the face made him feel happy in his heart.
Even earlier than the wind of the slap was the faint and rich fragrance on Ling Shan's body, which made his heart itch.
Fortunately, Ling Shan was really tired and fell asleep. Otherwise, she would definitely scold him for "going to see a doctor early if you're sick".
It was a pity that Ling Shan was sleeping soundly.
She just let out a few coquettish grunts when she was annoyed by the noise and pouted her lips to show her dissatisfaction.
Although Jun Wuyuan was extremely itchy in his heart, looking at this rare and cute appearance, he only felt his heart soften. Just lying close to her without moving or speaking made him feel in a good mood.
At dawn, a warm ray of morning sun penetrated the window lattice and shone on the white marble floor, creating a circle of light and misty white fog.
The curtains around the dragon bed were tightly drawn, blocking the charming spring scenery inside.
Jun Wuyuan looked at the time. He really didn't want to get up, but he couldn't bear to torment the girl anymore. With all his energy, he had to get out of bed and practice boxing to release it.
Half an hour later, after taking a bath and changing into clean clothes, Jun Wuyuan looked radiant. With a pleasant look of satisfaction in his eyes, he strolled slowly towards the small study.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to Your Majesty! May you and Miss Ling Shan have a beautiful and happy marriage. This old servant wishes you eternal unity of hearts."
Liang Jiusi's old face beamed like a chrysanthemum again as he happily offered his congratulations.
It's not easy! His Majesty has finally grown up!
