PNB Chapter 78 Water Delivery
Chapter 78 Water Delivery
This wasn't the first time Chu Qingyin had been favored, so she naturally knew what would happen between her and Pei Yuanling next.
But her heart was pounding like a drum, and her hands unconsciously gripped the man's dragon-patterned collar tightly. Her small face, with her eyes slightly closed, was half panicked and half shy.
Pei Yuanling gently placed her on the bed, his hand moving down to her waist.
With a flick of his fingertips, he untied the sash around her waist.
Men have always had an innate talent for this kind of thing.
Moreover, Chu Qingyin and he had been husband and wife for five years, and he was exceptionally gifted in bed.
In an instant, Chu Qingyin felt a chill on her body.
She had just felt a shiver when the man's warm, strong body covered her.
A strong, pungent scent of ambergris mixed with the smell of alcohol enveloped her, and she couldn't help but bite her lip, "Your Majesty..."
Her soft voice barely uttered a sound before the man sealed it with another kiss.
He abandoned his previous gentleness, and his passionate kisses fell like a storm on her rosy lips and fair neck, slowly moving downwards.
"Your Majesty, please..."
Chu Qingyin's mind went blank from his kisses. She wanted to push him away, but she had no strength left. She could only let the man ignite a spark in her body, making her feel weak all over.
As the woman's fair and translucent skin gradually flushed crimson, the young emperor's eyes darkened, a deep, brooding darkness rising and falling within them...
This is his voice.
He wanted her.
He had promised her that he would give her another child.
A child that belongs only to them.
"Yinyin, I will not break my promise to you."
The man suddenly leaned down and said something that left Chu Qingyin somewhat bewildered.
Before she could think it through, the mischievous hand moved down her smooth back—
Chu Qingyin narrowed her eyes, naturally understanding what Pei Yuanling was going to do to her.
This was what she had been looking forward to, but for some reason, a sense of resistance arose in her heart.
He promised her, and he wouldn't break his word.
What is he referring to?
She frowned, and scenes of her past love with Pei Yuanling flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. Suddenly, she remembered.
child.
He had promised her that he would have children with her.
Is that why you suddenly came to Feixue Palace and suddenly decided to touch her?
Ha, how ridiculous.
In an instant, Chu Qingyin felt a chill creep up her spine, and the previous ambiguous and romantic atmosphere vanished instantly.
"His Majesty……"
She instinctively pressed down on the man's hand that was reaching for her waist.
Pei Yuanling's eyes still held desire. He propped himself up on one arm, frowning as he looked at her: "Nervous?"
His hands didn't stop; he moved the woman's hand away, intending to continue. Suddenly, he felt the woman's body stiffen, her tightly closed eyelashes fluttering like thin wings, gradually becoming moist.
Pei Yuanling's desire vanished instantly, but his voice was still a little hoarse, "Yinyin?"
Chu Qingyin closed her eyes and remained silent, her face pale as if she were enduring something.
Upon seeing this, Pei Yuanling felt a mix of emotions.
After a moment, he sighed softly, rolled off that soft body, and pulled the brocade quilt over the woman's smooth, naked body.
Chu Qingyin slowly opened her eyes, her voice barely audible, "Your Majesty, have I disturbed your enjoyment?"
Pei Yuanling glanced at her, said nothing, and simply sat up and went to the clean room without uttering a word.
Chu Qingyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
From afar, they heard Pei Yuanling say to the outside, "Send water."
"Yes."
Even though there was a door between them, it was as if they could see the palace servants jumping for joy.
Unfortunately, this water delivery was not the same as the other kind of water delivery.
Chu Qingyin stared at the smoky pink bed curtains for a moment, then sat up. She found her undergarments in the messy bedding and put them back on.
When Pei Yuanling returned from the clean room, the candles in the inner room were relit, and Chu Qingyin sat quietly by the couch waiting for him.
Her slender back was ramrod straight, and she looked respectful. Pei Yuanling glanced at her and knew that she had something to say.
"Your Majesty, have I disturbed your enjoyment?"
A woman's soft, delicate voice sounded muffled.
Pei Yuanling gave a wry smile and pulled her into his arms: "It's alright."
"I was just a little nervous because it was my first time... I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yuanling embraced her even tighter with even greater affection: "There's no need to apologize, I won't force you."
He knew she wasn't ready to take him back.
But it doesn't matter, he believes that one day she will fall in love with him again and accept him.
Chu Qingyin didn't notice the complex expression in the man's eyes, and only sighed inwardly.
Everything was proceeding according to her plan, but when the crucial moment arrived, the chaotic emotions in her heart finally surged up and took over her consciousness.
She still needs to adjust her mindset as soon as possible and fall in love with Pei Yuanling again.
Otherwise, given this man's wise and suspicious nature, he probably wouldn't have let it go so easily next time.
"It's late, go to sleep."
Pei Yuanling placed his hand on her waist, rubbed it casually, and then closed his eyes.
Chu Qingyin lay back in his arms, closing her eyes with a heavy heart.
That night, the two slept in the same bed but dreamed different dreams.
The next day, when Chu Qingyin woke up, the bedside was empty.
She sat up, raised her hand to rub her forehead, and couldn't help but sigh as she thought about what happened last night.
She lowered her head again, placing one hand on her flat stomach.
In her past life, she longed to have another child with Pei Yuanling, but in this life, she no longer thinks about it.
***
A few days later, the rumors in the palace about Consort Chu's vengeful spirit seeking revenge intensified and finally reached Pei Yuanling's ears.
The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
Not only should the person behind the scenes be apprehended, but anyone who spreads this rumor again within the palace should also be subjected to the same severe punishment.
After the order was issued, the entire palace was instantly plunged into a state of panic where everyone felt insecure.
After hearing Kang Luhai's report, Chu Qingyin twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "It seems His Majesty doesn't believe that Consort Chu has returned for revenge?"
"The palace has always forbidden spreading rumors and misleading the public. Moreover, this matter has caused widespread panic within the palace. Your Majesty's strict decree is indeed justified," Kang Luhai said respectfully from the side.
"You don't believe in ghosts and gods either?"
Kang Luhai felt a chill creep into his heart as he was stared at by Chu Qingyin's meaningful gaze.
He tried to ignore his unease: "I think ghosts and gods are not scary; the human heart is something far more terrifying."
"You're right," Chu Qingyin replied affirmatively, then waved her hand, signaling him to leave.
After he left, a cold glint flashed in Chu Qingyin's eyes. What was Pei Yuanling's intention in suppressing the rumors?
Did he discover something?
Impossible. If he had noticed the anomaly earlier, he would have taken action.
It seems she needs to speed things up and force the person behind the rumors to reveal themselves before Pei Yuanling finds out the source.
The night grew deeper.
In a dark corner of a side hall in the palace, a young eunuch, taking advantage of the late hour and the absence of others, quietly slipped out carrying a bamboo basket covered with a white cloth.
He looked around and finally found an open space. He knelt down and then uncovered the white cloth, revealing the paper money inside.
"Your Majesty, your death has nothing to do with this servant. If you have a spirit in heaven, please do not haunt this servant..."
Before he could finish speaking, a furious shout came from behind: "Who's there!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tai hurriedly got up.
Just as he was about to run away, a sudden pain shot through his waist, and a powerful force struck him, knocking him to the ground.
He endured the pain without daring to raise his head, and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"
Chen Xun glanced at the things beside him, then looked at the trembling, frightened eunuch, and frowned: "Take him away."
Two guards immediately came out and dragged the little eunuch away.
