Chapter 207 - In the Same Bed (2)

Chapter 207 – In the Same Bed (2)

Eunuch Fu stole a furtive glance at the slumbering Ye Zhen in Mo Rongzhan’s arms and decided against divulging this secret. Since the moment he had laid his eyes on this little girl, his discerning eyes had seen her in a favourable light. To him, she was industrious, humble, and quite talented. As if to prove him right, today, she had even inadvertently cured the emperor’s eyes.

However, if she were to enter the palace, the wang fei would not take it lying low.

Not long after he came out of the chambers, he saw a figure scurrying over in the dark. As the person drew closer, he was stunned; he couldn’t help the look of surprise flashing on his otherwise impassive face.

“This eunuch greets the wang fei.” He had long stoved away his shock and returned to his usual self.

The other part did not reply, not that he minded. He was all too familiar with this personage’s attitude. But when he saw Lu Wushuang about to rush into the chambers, even the ever servile him took a step forward to block her advance.

“Your Highness, the emperor is resting. What can I do for the lady that she visited the Palace of Heavenly Purity in the middle of the night?”

“Dog slave, step away!” Lu Wushuang knew that it was Eunuch Fu who went to the little prince’s residence to fetch maid. Now, she was disgusted at the sight of him and made it amply evident through her stance.

However, the ‘dog slave’ stood rooted to the ground, guarding his master’s interests with all his loyalty.

“If the lady wants to see the emperor, she needs to let me in to report it.” He was neither haughty nor humble, but he made it clear that he was not letting her in.

“When did I ever need to announce my arrival to the emperor? You shameless eunuch, have you come to block me? Get out of my way!”

Lu Wushuang’s eyes were crimson with rage. The more Eunuch Fu stopped her, the more she felt that Mo Rongzhan was hiding something. She was determined to uncover the truth now.

She winked at Dai Ping commanding her and the other attendants to stop Eunuch Fu. Then, she gathered her skirt in her hands and marched away.

Miffed at the happenings, Eunuch Fu commanded the eunuch next to him to stop her. He had always thought that the wang fei thought too highly of herself. She was arrogant and conceited who looked down upon everyone, including the empress dowager. However, if she just barged in like this, would the emperor just let her be?

♚♚♚

As early as when Lu Wushuang appeared, Mo Rongzhan knew of her presence. He looked down at the Ye Zhen in his arms and remembered that she had been slapped by the other the last time. If Lu Wushuang knew that the person here was her, she would not let her off this time.

Mo Rongzhan gently placed Ye Zhen on the bed, making her lie slightly on her side.

Ye Zhen who had been deep in sleep knew not what the din outside was about. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and woke up.

Ye Zhen: “…”

She blinked and looked at Mo Rongzhan in front of her. Am I dreaming? How could I sleep beside him?

He was supporting her head in one hand, facing down at her.

“Don’t make any noise.” Mo Rongzhan whispered in her ear.

Ye Zhen felt uncomfortable. She sat up in a hurry and found that her clothes were all neat. She felt relieved.

“I want to go back.” She then started getting off the bed.

Hearing the fast-approaching footsteps, Mo Rongzhan immediately held her in his arms. “Do you want Lu Wushuang to see you here?”

Ye Zhen raised her head in astonishment, understood what he meant, and even so, glared at him.

Mo Rongzhan was amused by her lovely appearance.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!” Lu Wushuang’s anxious voice sounded. She had walked in thought the curtain without waiting for Mo Rongzhan to come to her. She was desperate to know if there was a woman on the dragon couch right now.

When Lu Wushuang appeared, Ye Zhen deftly buried herself under the quilt. She must not let Lu Wushuang see her, otherwise, she would certainly use more vicious methods to deal with her.

­­Mo Rongzhan grabbed Lu Wushuang’s hand that was reaching for the quilt and shoved her roughly.

♚♚♚

The night had turned deathly silent. The air inside the emperor’s chambers had turned ghastly cold.

Lu Wushuang, who had been ruthlessly shoved, had knocked against the low stool. The very one, Ye Zhen had been dozing off on.

Still sprawled on the ground, she felt excruciating pain in her back. Even so, the pain could not compare to the torment of her heart at the moment. She looked at Mo Rongzhan strangely, unable to believe that he had treated her as such.

And yet, that was not all it seems…

“Wang Fei Lu!” His thunderous roar sent chills down her spine, her whole being stilled. “What do you want when you break into my palace late at night?” His frosty eyes made no secret of his disgust.

It took her a moment to speak.

“Your Majesty, I… I heard that some palace maid did not know the rules, so I wanted to come over… ”

Lu Wushuang’s face was as white as a sheet. She just could not get a hold of her senses. Could she even hear herself? Clearly not!

Mo Rongzhan sneered, the fire of doubt that had been steadfastly burning within him fueled his wrath. For long he had ignored her impudence… was this the opportunity he was waiting for?

“You have come for that? Who do you think you are? Do I need your approval if I choose to favor any palace maid? Wang Fei Lu, you are just an imperial concubine!”

No matter how high her status, even the empress dowager who was in charge of the six palaces was not entitled for a say in matters of the emperor bestowing special favour to whichever woman. To think this woman had the gall to say so!

Even someone with a remote sense of sensibility would have known when to stop. But it looked like someone would not shed tears until they saw the coffin*.

[*not to shed a tear until one sees the coffin: 不見棺材不落淚 Chinese idiom, is a cautionary tale that suggests you are unknowingly (though it should be obvious)on a bad course. It further suggests that you will not realize your folly until the worst has happened. Fig. refuse to be convinced until one is faced with grim reality.]

“Your Majesty has not visited the Palace of Earthly Tranquility for so many days. Is it because of that lowly maiden?!” Lu Wushuang pointed to Ye Zhen behind the curtain. She had just caught a glimpse of the palace maid’s garb. She was even more certain that there was a woman behind it.

Score 8.6
Status: Ongoing Type: Author: , Native Language: Chinese
He was the cold-blooded prince of the Jin country. Decisive and smart, he had looked down on the world with apathy and disdain. She was his Wang Fei, a person who had saved him in the past, but he wouldn’t even look at her. When the fire raged and death claimed her, it was only then that she realized her existence was nothing but a joke from the beginning. She opened her eyes once more after spending two years as a roaming, vengeful ghost. In this lifetime, Ye Zhen promises that she will be a different person. With a slight smile, she will ruthlessly trample on those who had schemed against her and lied until her demise! Most importantly, she would let him experience the pain of an unrequited love; the bitterness of seeking something you cannot obtain!
