Chapter 269

"Your Highness, it's an emergency at the Emperor's side!"

The implication was that if it wasn't urgent, she should put Lady Ruan's matters aside for now.

Jiang Xinyue thought for a moment and then looked towards the seats of the concubines, frowning as she pointed to the only empty seat: "Xiao Xiangzi, whose seat is that?"

Xiao Xiangzi squinted and looked: "Your Highness, that is Concubine Ye's seat."

Concubine Ye?

Jiang Xinyue's mind suddenly flashed with an idea. Could it be...

Concerned about her future prosperity and luxurious life, she suddenly stood up: "Xiao Xiangzi, go find my father. Shuang Jiang, you lead the way to find my mother. You know what can be publicized and what should not be made known to everyone. If you're unsure, follow my father's arrangements."

Xiao Xiangzi and Shuang Jiang quickly agreed and hurried down.

Jiang Xinyue exchanged a glance with her father, confirming he understood, before hastily following Tang Shiliang away.

"What happened to the Emperor?"

"Your Highness, the Emperor..."

Tang Shiliang lowered his voice: "The Emperor was drugged, and it's been some time. Concubine Ye... Concubine Ye is in the Emperor's tent."

What does that mean, did the Emperor already sleep with Concubine Ye?

Then why call her here?

As they spoke, they arrived at a room the Emperor had entered. Wang Dequan's face was still flushed, looking like a cooked shrimp.

Seeing Jiang Xinyue, his eyes lit up, but he stumbled and fell to the ground: "Your Highness... please, save the Emperor!"

Although the situation was urgent, Jiang Xinyue paused out of humanitarian concern: "What happened to Wang Gonggong?"

Tang Shiliang blushed: "My adoptive father was also drugged."

"You!"

Young man!

Wang Dequan buried his red face in the ground, wanting to dig a hole to escape the world.

Jiang Xinyue's gaze moved downwards: "Do eunuchs... react to such things?"

She knew the Emperor must be in a hurry, but first, she was too curious.

This time, even Tang Shiliang was embarrassed to explain. There were reactions, but they couldn't rise because they lacked the necessary organs. It could be suffocating, so now he had to take his adoptive father to find a doctor.

A few eunuchs and maids from Chengqian Palace stood guard outside the room, each with their heads bowed, pretending not to hear or see anything.

Indeed, they were from the Emperor's palace, knowing when to feign deafness and blindness to preserve their lives.

"I... I must take my leave now, Your Highness. The Emperor is waiting for you inside."

No wonder he was the Emperor's most favored eunuch. Even in such a state, Wang Dequan still thought of the Emperor.

The Emperor's favor towards Noble Consort Wang was well-deserved.

"Creak—"

Jiang Xinyue cautiously pushed open the door, afraid of accidentally seeing something that would make her eyes hurt.

"Bang!"

Her wrist was tightly gripped by a fiery hand, and the door behind her was forcefully closed with a loud bang, making Jiang Xinyue close her eyes in fright.

"Mmm!"

Immediately after, her slender waist was fiercely grasped and pressed against the man's firm abdomen. The kiss was like a beast's bite, extremely aggressive.

Jiang Xinyue was spun around in the embrace, caught off guard by the intense kiss, her steps unsteady as she retreated.

But the "beast" above her showed no intention of letting her go, as if she were a delicious candy, continuously savoring the sweetness between Jiang Xinyue's lips.

"Emm..."

Her breath was already hurried, struggling to breathe. She tried to push away the Xuanwu Emperor, who felt like a piece of red-hot iron, but failed. Instead, because she opened her mouth to speak, his tongue invaded, conquering her territory.

The hot breaths intertwined, and the room was filled with an intimate atmosphere.

"Thud!"

Having nowhere else to retreat, Jiang Xinyue was pinned on the dining table. The Xuanwu Emperor finally let go of her but not entirely.

He propped his hands on the table's edge, encircling the graceful beauty within his arms. The difference in their builds made the room's atmosphere even more desirous.

"Yue'er..."

The Emperor's lips brushed Jiang Xinyue's snow-white neck, causing her to shiver. The abnormal heat sprayed on her ear.

The Xuanwu Emperor was even licking her earlobe, the wet and itchy sensation making her giggle. That light laugh was a fatal charm to the Emperor.

Almost delirious, the Xuanwu Emperor struggled to restrain himself, the veins on his neck bulging.

His voice hoarse, his feverish cheek pressed against Jiang Xinyue's cool neck, feeling comfortable and letting out a sigh: "Yue'er... can you? I'm in so much pain..."

He had been drugged for some time, and if no one helped him relieve it, he would pass out from the swelling.

Wang Dequan had already consulted a doctor, who said he was given a potent drug. If he didn't want to harm his body, it was best to find a concubine to detoxify him.

How precious is the Emperor's body!

No doctor dared to prescribe a harmful antidote. After all, finding a concubine would easily solve the potent drug.

Why take medicine to harm oneself?

Jiang Xinyue, kissed fiercely by the Xuanwu Emperor, had not yet caught her breath and did not answer his question. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and actively took his rolling Adam's apple into her mouth.

The Emperor asked if it was okay because he knew he was drugged, afraid she would misunderstand he was just using her as a release, not respecting her.

Jiang Xinyue's gaze passed through the bed curtains, where a half-dressed, delicate figure lay.

The Xuanwu Emperor tilted his head, his Adam's apple more prominent. Jiang Xinyue kissed him absent-mindedly, making the Emperor lose himself in her tenderness.

Concubine Ye on the bed was like being set on fire, burning her heartache.

The Emperor, however, thought she had drugged him and deliberately threw her on the bed, pushing her away without mercy when she was in a frenzy, treating her like trash.

She watched the Emperor, tormented by the drug, rolling on the ground, no matter how she called out, the Emperor never looked at her.

There were even bloodstains on the wall from the Emperor's fists, showing how close he was to breaking point.

Realizing this, she stripped herself bare, wanting to seduce the Emperor. But as soon as she approached and hugged him, she was pinned to the bed by maids called by Wang Dequan, tied up with ropes.

Then she heard the Emperor's trembling voice: "Go... go get Imperial Noble Consort. Hurry!"

The Emperor would rather endure such intense and surging passion than wait for Imperial Noble Consort to save him.

This was a great humiliation for Concubine Ye.

But now bound to the bed, she was forced to watch Imperial Noble Consort easily make the Emperor fall into a trance.

Tears of grievance streamed from her eyes.
