C55 (1/2)
Caught off guard, Gu Shen was violently pulled by the emperor, and his entire person fell into that thick and thick embrace that was currently suffused with a boiling hot aura.
She protested coquettishly …
”Your majesty.”
As soon as he spoke, the Emperor lowered his head and kissed her. In that instant, her mind went blank, and her heart beat so hard it seemed it was going to pop out. This was the first time the Emperor had kissed her, and he kissed her with such concentration, as if she were the most precious person in the world. At first, this kiss was only a careful one. After seeing her respond, she drank a little, but now she was embraced by her beloved emperor and fell asleep with satisfaction. Gu Shen was also so exhausted that she couldn't move at all, allowing him to hold her. Only at such a close distance could she unrestrainedly size him up.
In this palace, most likely everyone thought that the Emperor had already been fortunate enough to meet him. This was because he had stayed in her brood palace s many times before, and he had even come into contact with her before.
But it was only physical contact. Those nights, she had tried everything, everything that her nurse had taught her, and at one point she had thought she had succeeded, that the Emperor's body had changed, that he had even been moved for her. But at the most critical moment, the Emperor had suddenly pushed her away.
The moment she was pushed away, her eyes were filled with confusion, as if she did not know why she was in brood palace.
In those few days, seeing the Emperor always like this, Xin Fei had no choice but to suspect if the Emperor was really as others had said, not good in that aspect.
And tonight, after that previous period of blessings, Xin Fei had finally completed the transformation into a wife for the first time. She was also content to stay in his arms, unable to sleep, not wanting to sleep either. Her heart was so sweet that it felt like it was about to spill honey.
He just foolishly stared at the emperor. Then in the middle of the night, the emperor tightened his hands and hugged her even tighter. His chin was pressed against her head as he muttered, ”The emperor …”
”A Xi, it's good that you're back.”
She felt as if she was struck by lightning, and her heart abruptly turned cold. She wanted to move to the side to look at the Emperor. However, the moment she moved, the Emperor held her even tighter.
”Don't move, just let me hold you.”
”A Xi, it's good that you're back. No matter what you did wrong, I will not pursue it. I will forgive you. I said that I would forgive you. ”
Gu Shen listened to the emperor's mutter, as if he had not slept at all. She was stiff and cold.
”A Xi, I'm sorry.”
He whispered one last time and even lowered his head to kiss her forehead. After a while, regular breathing sounds could be heard.
Gu Shen hadn't slept for the entire night, and the hatred in her heart seemed to want to swallow her whole. She only wished that woman would never come back, and she definitely wouldn't let her return to the palace.
The more painful thing was that the Emperor woke up at daybreak and saw her in his arms. Suddenly, Long Yan flew into a rage, and abruptly pushed her away as if she were a ferocious beast, the coldness in her eyes not even a shadow of last night's madness could be seen.
She retreated to the foot of the bed and shouted in grievance
”Your majesty.”
”Scram, immediately scram.”
He didn't show the slightest mercy and even rudely told her to scram.
Gu Shen had never felt wronged before, tears welled up in his eyes. Seeing him staring at her, all of them fell to the ground.
The Emperor bellowed at the door.
”Eunuch An.”
”Your servant is here.” Eunuch An had long heard the commotion inside, and immediately crawled in in fright, kneeling on the ground.
”Who allowed her to stay in the Imperial Mansion?”
”Yes.” Eunuch An was sweating profusely, not knowing how to answer this question. It was because the emperor was drunk last night, that he was together with the Consort Xin. As a servant, how could he be stopped?
”Immediately take her and roll out of Imperial Mansion, you … ”Deduct this month's salary.”
”Servant obeys.” Eunuch An was at a loss for words, it was hard to say, he could only urge Consort Xin to leave this place quickly. When he came out, he comforted Consort Xin because he saw that the Consort Xin was also a pitiful person.
”The emperor has been in a bad mood recently. Empress, please take more responsibility.”
At this time, the Xin Fei had already calmed down. No matter how sad he was, he would not show it in front of outsiders. What she revealed was that she was the Empress who had slept in the Imperial Mansion and that she was also the husband and wife of the Emperor.
Thinking of this, all the grievances were retracted.
Eunuch An felt that he had been wronged after receiving his punishment, but he did not dare to say another word. When he returned to the Imperial Mansion, he saw that the emperor was actually furious at the palace maids that served him. It was probably because the palace maids had washed him with water that was slightly hot. The palace maid was trembling in fear as she knelt on the ground. Her gaze towards Eunuch An was like a terrified rabbit, begging him to save her.
Eunuch An signalled for the palace maid to leave and went to change a pot of warm water to serve the Emperor. The Emperor's complexion was still not good. Eunuch An thought, it's over, my good days at the palace are coming to an end, the Emperor's temperament has once again become as moody as before.
The reason why Yin Su got angry in the morning was not because he was targeting anyone. It was not because he was angry at the fact that Gu Shen was staying at the Imperial Mansion, nor was it because he was angry at the fact that the Eunuch An had failed his duties.
He was angry because all the beautiful dreams from last night were actually fake. In his dream, he and A Xi slept for a night. It was difficult to part with her. She responded to him with such warmth, obediently staying in his embrace. She let him hug her and sleep through the night.
He knew whether it was a dream or a beautiful dream that he didn't want to wake up from. Then, reality struck him with the heaviest blow. It was Gu Shen, not just a dream, she didn't even dare to appear in a dream.
Six years ago, she was already heartless enough to resolutely jump off the cliff. Even after jumping off, she didn't die, and wasn't willing to meet him even once. She walked freely outside, and he locked her up like a trapped beast in the palace.
