Chapter 550 - Whose Bellyband Is It in His Arms (1/2)

Bad things happened one after another. First, there was a murder. After Consort Chu and Consort Xuan got checked out in turn, people finally found out that the chief culprit was Consort Zhao, whom no one had ever thought of. Now, a worse thing happened that made people speechless. It was not a good thing to know royal scandals.

However, even though the people present did not dare to interrupt, their eyes were filled with contempt, disdain, mockery… and all kinds of looks. Ling Rui’er looked at them and was about to go crazy.

Ling Rui’er heaved a sigh of relief when Mo Xuetong left. She was about to sit down straight when she suddenly heard a hubbub from a spot not far away. However, she could not hear what people were saying. Everyone’s attention could not help but be drawn to the hubbub.

“Who are you? How dare you break into the banquet at will?” It sounded like a eunuch’s voice which was too sharp.

“Get him out of here! Where did the philanderer come from?” some palace maids snapped in a panic.

“Drive him away quickly! If he disturbs the Empress, who can afford it?”…

Hearing the noise, everyone could not help but look in that direction. Suddenly, they saw a sleek-haired and creamy-faced man. He was so obscene that when he walked past the palace maids, he touched their hands and faces. The palace maids were ashamed and angry.

Some eunuchs chased him from behind and wanted to catch him, but they failed. The man hid everywhere and was very flexible. Being chased after, he came here.

The banquet was held in the imperial garden. Since it was in the inner palace, the guards were not allowed to enter without a summons. No one would have thought that such a character would dare to hit on the palace maids in the Empress’ banquet. Furthermore, he took it for granted; he was much bolder than the playboys in the capital, who were known for their hobbies.

The man really didn’t care about his own life!

“Come on, hurry up, arrest him.” The Empress was so angry that her face turned livid. She almost lost control of her anger. So many things had happened during the banquet. How could she answer if the Emperor asked her? Because of Consort Zhao’s incident, the Emperor was in a bad mood. Now such an absurd thing happened again.

A man broke into the imperial harem which was guarded strictly. It was really terrible.

The Empress had already forgotten about Ma Er.

Seeing that the Empress was angry, several eunuchs came to Ma Er. Different from the previous ones, they were capable of kung fu. Then they quickly caught Ma Er and took him to the Empress.

“Let me go, let me go, don’t be so hard on me. It was your master who asked me to come over. How dare you do this to me! After I marry your master, I’ll teach you a lesson!” Ma Er screamed while struggling.

His words made the eunuchs pale. They lowered their heads.

Their master was the Empress. He wanted the Empress to marry him? The eunuchs didn’t dare to think about it. They thought it would be better to lower their heads and cover their ears if they were wise. This man wanted to die, but they wanted to live. Were they a human’s words? He dared to say that he wanted to marry the Empress. Wasn’t he courting death?

“Kneel down, kneel down!” Ma Er was forced to kneel down on the ground, but he was not going to take it. He lifted his head and saw the Empress seated high above and the crowd of beautiful ladies. However, even though these women were all beautiful, most of them were not very young and the one he was looking for was not among them. He had received word from a n.o.ble woman that he had to make a scene before he could marry the woman. He hid by the side before because something seemed to have happened here.

Finally, the matter had calmed down, and he came out. In order to make the matter bigger, he came over up and touched the beauties when he saw them on the way here. Anyway, the n.o.ble woman had told him it was okay and she could handle it.

“Why did you catch me? I’m here because someone invited me.” Even though he was caught, he didn’t panic but shouted at the top of his voice.

He raised his head high. Yan Miao, who was standing behind the Empress, suddenly turned pale. Looking at the creepy face, she was shocked and almost stumbled backward. A palace maid standing behind her quickly held her so that she didn’t make a fool of herself on the spot.

Fortunately, everyone focused on Ma Er at this time, so no one noticed her strangeness.

Wasn’t the man eating in Hua’nuan Pavilion? She had told him not to come out. Why did he break into the banquet? What should she do? Yan Miao was so anxious that she didn’t know what to do. Pus.h.i.+ng the palace maid’s hand away, she pulled the Empress’ clothes with trembling fingers. She wanted to tell the Empress that this person was the ruffian who the Empress asked her to bring into the palace.

“Your Majesty, what’s wrong with the palace maid by your side? Why is she so frightened?” Consort Su happened to turn around, and when she saw Yan Miao’s pale and shocked face, she suddenly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed with a strange look.

Hearing her words, the Empress looked back and saw Yan Miao’s face changed greatly. She thought that the maid was worried about her when she saw a man suddenly appear at the banquet. So the Empress glanced at her and said lightly, “This little girl has never seen such a scene before. She is shocked.”

Upon hearing the Empress’ words, Yan Miao also came to her senses. She quickly lowered her head and did not dare to make any suspicious movements.

“Yeah. Even I have never seen such a scene, let alone her. Look at this man, I wonder where he came from. He not only entered the palace but also dared to flirt with the palace maids. Listen to what he said. If His Majesty hears this, he will cut him into pieces.”

A faint smile crept onto Consort Su’s lips. She looked thoughtfully at Ma Er, who was kneeling on the ground, with a meaningful smile on her face.
