Chapter 45: Prince Qi's Thoughts
Prince Qi has been unable to eat or sleep these past two days. As soon as he closes his eyes, he sees that beautiful woman. He is going crazy.
After coming out of the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day, he searched the Pingnan Marquis Mansion thoroughly but could not find the beauty.
Prince Qi stroked the painting on the table with his fingers. There was a girl in the painting with her back to the night sky. The red veil draped over her body was slightly blown by the wind. The scene in the painting was frozen when she looked back and smiled. That smile was so charming and moving.
Prince Qi ran his fingers across the cheek of the girl in the painting, stroked her eyes, and then to her lips. He was staring at the person in the painting in a daze.
"Storage Eagle."
A dark shadow flashed across the room, and a man in black knelt before Prince Qi.
Prince Qi threw the painting to the man in black and said, "Send someone to the residences of the four families of Chen, Yuan, Wei and Zhang to help me find the person in the painting."
"Yes." The man in black disappeared in the room.
King Qi smiled evilly, picked up the wine pot, poured himself a cup, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, then said to the outside:
"Call Liu Huan."
After the Liu family came to make trouble, the feeling between Liu Yu and Chen Sanye changed. In the past, even if they slept on the same table, they had clear boundaries and did not disturb each other. But now, when they sleep together, he will hug her.
This was also the first time she felt that a man clearly wanted it, but would take her into consideration and forbear from touching her.
I'm afraid she is the only concubine who has ended up like this.
When she felt his tense body again, Liu Yu hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to put her arms around his waist.
"Third Master"
Mr. Chen San's body suddenly stiffened, and the hands around her waist suddenly tightened. An electric current spread from his spine throughout his body.
This was a feeling he had never experienced in more than thirty years.
It's not like there hadn't been women throwing themselves at him before. I remember when he had just entered the cabinet, an official sent a beauty from the Western Regions to please him. Her appearance was no worse than the little girl in his arms. The beauty from the Western Regions even took off all her clothes and lay on the bed, but he still couldn't muster any interest.
For him, he dedicated his entire life to the court, so it didn't matter to him whether he had women or not. Especially in recent years, he believed in Buddhism and became more calm.
He agreed to let his mother take concubines just to fulfill his mother's wish, thinking that he would let them go when the time was right.
But after meeting her, everything went against what he had expected and he became less and less like himself.
At this point, he could no longer let go of her and only wanted to keep her by his side.
"Third Master, let me serve you!" Liu Yu was not an tactless person. As someone else's concubine, to put it bluntly, if a man loves you, you have to accept it, but you also have to know the limits. Otherwise, after a long time, it would be ungrateful and people would just dislike you.
Since Mr. Chen San wants it, she will give it to him even if he doesn't say it.
Her hand was like a feather stroking his spine.
Although he really wanted to possess her, Mr. Chen San still grabbed her little hand that was about to climb up.
His dark eyes stared at her, "Don't move."
Liu Yu opened her watery almond eyes and looked at him in confusion.
He pressed her head against his chest, covered her seductive eyes with one hand, and said hoarsely:
"hold on."
What are you waiting for? Liu Yu didn't understand. His whole body was held in his arms, and he couldn't move at all.
Liu Yu finally gave up.
Never mind, he doesn't want this.
Holding the soft jade in his arms, feeling the increasingly intense changes somewhere in his body, Master Chen San had no choice but to bury his head in her neck, as if only in this way could the pain of being bitten by millions of ants be relieved.
...
On the wall of Qinyuanju in the east courtyard, a masked man in black had been lying on the wall for two hours. As the servants of Qinyuanju went to rest, the masked man jumped in and sneaked into Liu Yu's room by pushing the door.
He walked towards the bed with very light steps.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and the candlelight swayed from far to near with the footsteps.
The masked man dodged and went behind the shelf.
What he didn't notice was that a crescent-shaped white jade pendant fell out from the gap in the shelf and rolled to the corner of the bed.
"How do these little girls do their job? They are just perfunctory when my wife is not around. I will tell my wife tomorrow and let A Zhong punish them severely." The little girl closed the door while cursing and left with the lamp in her hand.
After the people left, the masked man walked to the bed, lifted the curtain, and seeing no one, he decisively left Qinyuanju.
The next day, Liu Yu helped Mr. Chen San to dress and wash as usual.
"Third Master, can I ask you for two people?"
Liu Yu had been thinking about this matter for a few days. She felt that it would be better to send two people to the Liu family. She was afraid that the Liu family would vent their anger on Aunt Wei.
"Okay, what kind do you want?" Mr. Chen San didn't ask her what she would use it for.
Liu Yu did not intend to hide it and said that it was found for her aunt.
"Okay, I see."
After Mr. Chen San left, Liu Yu took Guyu back to Qinyuanju. She still liked the meals in her own yard. Every time she could eat the vegetables she grew, she could eat a few more bites of rice.
At least she had pulled out the weeds and planted the vegetables herself, so they tasted especially delicious.
Liu Yu was eating the lung-moistening red date and white fungus soup when the little girl who cleaned her room suddenly ran out of her room.
As soon as she rushed to Liu Yu, she knelt down and held something in her trembling hands to show her.
Liu Yu stopped and looked. It was a round white jade pendant with a green tassel hanging underneath. It was obvious that it was not something that an ordinary person could wear.
Her brows knitted together.
"Where did you find this?" Liu Yu picked up the jade pendant from the maid's hand and looked at it over and over again. She didn't remember having such a thing!
"It's under the bed. This jade pendant was not dropped by me." The maid lowered her head even more, fearing that Liu Yu would punish her.
"Stand up first," she called Guyu, who was directing the cleaning of the yard, and handed her the pendant.
Guyu also looked at the jade pendant again and again, and she asked Liu Yu:
"Ma'am, where did you get this?"
Liu Yu nodded towards his room.
Gu Yu understood instantly, and returned the jade pendant to Liu Yu, and asked the trembling maid in front of him to leave.
Her sharp eyes swept over the maids and servants who were busy in Qinyuanju.
Liu Yu stood up calmly and returned to his room, followed by Gu Yu.
After Guyu closed the door, Liu Yu quickly glanced across his room.
After cleaning for a long time, the master and servant found nothing. It seemed impossible to find any clues in the room, so they could only start with the people.
The first person Liu Yu thought of was Bai Wei, the person who often stabbed her in the back.
"Guyu, go find Bai Wei for me."
Just a moment later, Bai Wei was pushed into the room by Guyu.
"What do you want to look for me for again? The old lady hasn't written to me yet. When I receive it, I will bring it to you myself." Bai Wei was very dissatisfied.
