Chapter 314 Slapping the Face of the Treacherous Regent 9
Shangguan Jingzhi's bedroom was quite different from the impression he gave off; it could be described as luxurious.
The palace was covered with thick velvet carpets, which felt as soft and comfortable as walking on clouds.
At the very back is a huge golden nanmu bed, carved with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns, so lifelike that it seems about to take off at any moment.
Thin, gossamer-like gauze curtains hung around the bed, swaying gently in the breeze, creating a dreamlike scene.
The palace also displays a variety of rare treasures, including crystal-clear jade ornaments, uniquely shaped gold and silver utensils, and dazzling gemstones, which are dazzling and overwhelming.
The exquisite incense burners were filled with precious spices, and wisps of smoke rose up, filling the entire palace with an intoxicating fragrance.
Leng Yuexing jumped off Shangguan Jingzhi, took off her shoes and socks, and stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet.
Immediately afterwards, Leng Yuexing reached out and took off the hat she was wearing, casually tossing it aside.
With this movement, his long, flowing black hair cascaded down, and he tilted his head slightly, giving Shangguan Jingzhi a gentle smile.
Shangguan Jingzhi stood there, stunned. He used to scoff at the idea of a smile that could topple a city, but after witnessing what he had just seen, he finally understood it deeply.
He could clearly hear his own heartbeat, his rapidly pounding heart feeling as if it were about to burst out of his chest.
Under Shangguan Jingzhi's stunned gaze, Leng Yuexing slowly removed the eunuch's robes.
He was dressed in a snow-white undergarment and leaned close to Shangguan Jingzhi, his breath sweet as orchids, "Why did Your Majesty bring me to your palace?"
Shangguan Jingzhi's breath hitched. He knew that Leng Yuexing knew why he had brought him to the palace, but she still pressed for an explanation, simply because she wanted to hear it from him.
"Of course I want you," Shangguan Jingzhi said slowly.
Leng Yuexing placed her right hand on Shangguan Jingzhi's chest, looked up into his eyes, and chuckled, "What if I don't want to? What will you do then?"
"I will help you avenge your family, and offer you a position as my dowry. Are you willing?" Shangguan Jingzhi said, gripping Leng Yuexing's shoulders tightly.
Leng Yuexing asked in surprise, "The Empress?"
"Yes!" Shangguan Jingzhi said in a deep voice.
“I am a genuine eunuch. If you were to make a eunuch empress, wouldn’t you be ridiculed by the world and have your throne jeopardized?” Leng Yuexing asked, raising an eyebrow.
"To be ridiculed by the world? To have the throne in jeopardy?"
Shangguan Jingzhi let out a low, eerie laugh.
"so what?"
“Kill those who ridicule, kill those who covet the throne, and all that will remain is praise and obedience.”
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer the slightest grievance."
Shangguan Jingzhi stared intently at Leng Yuexing with his dark and deep eyes. To him now, nothing was more important than Leng Yuexing in front of him, whether it was ridicule or the throne.
Leng Yuexing's thin lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something more.
Shangguan Jingzhi didn't give him that chance. He grabbed Leng Yuexing's head and kissed him.
Then he picked up Leng Yuexing with his other hand and carried him to the golden nanmu bed next to him.
The gauze curtain fell, followed by the sound of robes being torn.
Through that hazy barrier, one could vaguely glimpse Shangguan Jingzhi's broad shoulders and straight spine, which, though thin, were covered with a thin layer of muscle.
His back rose and fell slightly, seemingly pulsating gently with his breath, like a dynamic painting.
A strand of Leng Yuexing's dark hair peeked out from behind the gauze curtains, swaying gently on the bed, accompanied by Leng Yuexing's low and alluring moans...
When Leng Yuexing awoke from his slumber, he felt as if he were in a furnace.
He found himself being held tightly in Shangguan Jingzhi's arms, and the furnace he felt was Shangguan Jingzhi himself.
The unusually high body temperature made Leng Yuexing realize instantly that Shangguan Jingzhi had a fever.
Seeing Shangguan Jingzhi's slightly furrowed brows, Leng Yuexing knew that he must be feeling very uncomfortable.
Remembering that the medicinal herbs he had instructed should be kept in the study, Leng Yuexing got up, dressed, and quickly ran through the secret passage to the study.
After taking the medicinal herbs from the study to the bedroom, Leng Yuexing found a ceramic medicine jar on a shelf on one side of the bedroom.
After placing the necessary medicinal herbs into the medicine pot, Leng Yuexing began to brew the medicine using a tea-brewing stove in her bedroom.
The bitter smell of the herbs quickly filled the entire bedchamber. Leng Yuexing frowned, poured the medicine into a teacup beside him, and then carried the teacup to the bedside.
Leng Yuexing originally wanted to wake Shangguan Jingzhi up to drink his medicine, but found that Shangguan Jingzhi was sleeping soundly, so he decided to feed him the medicine himself.
After frowning and taking a big gulp of the medicine, he cupped Shangguan Jingzhi's face, lowered his head and kissed him, slowly transferring the medicine from his mouth to him.
After repeating this process three times, Leng Yuexing finally managed to feed all the medicine into Shangguan Jingzhi's mouth.
Feeling Shangguan Jingzhi's body temperature slowly decreasing, Leng Yuexing yawned, buried herself back in Shangguan Jingzhi's arms, and fell asleep again.
The next morning, after Shangguan Jingzhi woke up, he found that his body had changed a lot.
He was surprised to find that his body had become so light, as if the heavy burden that had been weighing him down had suddenly disappeared.
Smelling a faint bitterness in the air, he looked up at the tea table in front of him and found many scattered medicine packets on it. Shangguan Jingzhi realized that Leng Yuexing had fed him the antidote.
Upon careful recollection, some scenes from last night vaguely appeared in my mind.
Looking at Leng Yuexing, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Shangguan Jingzhi lowered his head and gently kissed Leng Yuexing's forehead.
"Thank you," Shangguan Jingzhi said softly.
As his voice faded, a knock sounded at the door. "Your Majesty, it's time for court."
"Understood," Shangguan Jingzhi replied in a low voice.
He intended to get up quietly, but before he could finish speaking, Leng Yuexing opened her eyes.
"How are you feeling?" Leng Yuexing asked softly.
Shangguan Jingzhi did not expect that the first thing Leng Yuexing did after waking up was to care about him. He lowered his head and kissed Leng Yuexing, then said, "I'm fine. I've never felt so good before."
"Does your chest still hurt? Do you still feel like coughing?" Leng Yuexing asked again.
Shangguan Jingzhi shook his head, "All these ailments have disappeared."
"That's good." Leng Yuexing smiled with relief upon hearing this. His antidote wasn't just for the jade poison. Now that the poison could be cured, that was all the better.
"Today is an important day to announce your appointment as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Come with me to court later," Shangguan Jingzhi said in a low voice.
"I had someone prepare the uniform for the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard yesterday. Try it on later and see if it fits."
"From this day forward, you will be my beloved subject."
