Chapter 226: Thief on the Wedding Night
Xiao Jinghan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, as if he had a thousand words to say, but it was difficult to speak. He hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage and said softly: "You..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Luo Lingyue. Luo Lingyue put her finger to her lips, made a gesture of silence, and then said in a low voice: "Shh! Someone is eavesdropping outside!" Her eyes revealed a hint of vigilance and intelligence.
Xiao Jinghan was startled and immediately understood what Luo Lingyue meant. He nodded and then released the hand that was tightly holding Luo Lingyue. Then, Luo Lingyue leaned over and lay diagonally on the bed, motioning Xiao Jinghan to come closer to her.
Xiao Jinghan moved forward with some confusion, only to hear Luo Lingyue lower her voice again and say to him, "Shake the bed quickly!" Her tone was firm and decisive, as if she knew exactly what was going to happen next.
Although Xiao Jinghan was very confused, he decided to follow Luo Lingyue's instructions. He walked to the bed, hugged the bedpost tightly with both hands, and began to shake it vigorously. As the bed shook, it made a slight creaking sound.
Xiao Jinghan was rocking the bed while secretly glancing at Luo Lingyue, his mind full of questions. He didn't know why Luo Lingyue asked him to do this, but he believed that she must have her own plan. In this tense and mysterious atmosphere, Xiao Jinghan could only silently carry out Luo Lingyue's request, looking forward to what would happen next.
Luo Lingyue suddenly let out a soft gasp, the sound was gentle and melodious, as if it carried endless temptation.
Xiao Jinghan was so shocked that he trembled all over and asked awkwardly: "What's wrong with you? Why is this happening?"
Luo Lingyue rolled her eyes at him, a blush appeared on her face, and she said coquettishly, "Don't stop!" Her tone revealed an indescribable expectation and desire.
Xiao Jinghan blinked in the darkness, and a strange feeling surged in his heart. He took a deep breath and began to shake the wedding bed again. As he moved, the wedding bed made a "creaking" sound, which intertwined with Luo Lingyue's charming cry, forming a strange and seductive melody.
Xiao Jinghan finally couldn't hold back his laughter any longer and burst into a hearty laugh. This laughter echoed in the air, making people look sideways.
When Luo Lingyue heard the laughter, she stood up angrily. Her eyebrows were raised and she glared at Xiao Jinghan angrily: "What are you laughing at? There are people eavesdropping outside! If His Majesty knew that we were pretending to be a couple, we would lose our heads!"
Xiao Jinghan tried hard to hold back his laughter, but couldn't help but whispered back, "Don't worry, nothing like this will happen. No one will go and tell His Majesty about this! Because everyone here is my trusted subordinate!"
When Luo Lingyue heard this, her eyebrows slightly frowned and she asked doubtfully, "Could it be that Wenfu and Wengui are not His Majesty's men?"
Xiao Jinghan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and replied firmly: "They are naturally my people too!"
After hearing this, Luo Lingyue's anger was instantly ignited. She raised her foot and kicked Xiao Jinghan's waist fiercely, cursing: "You guy, why didn't you tell me this earlier? It's so embarrassing!" After that, she turned around with a red face and ignored Xiao Jinghan.
Xiao Jinghan shook his head gently, then walked alone to the chaise longue in the outer room and slowly lay down to rest. Time passed by minute by minute, and after a long while, Luo Lingyue finally heard Xiao Jinghan's gentle and regular breathing coming from the chaise longue.
So, she carefully approached the chaise longue, stretched out a hand, gently pushed Xiao Jinghan's shoulder, and asked softly: "Xiao Jinghan! Are you asleep?" However, the only response she got was Xiao Jinghan's slight snoring. Seeing that Xiao Jinghan had fallen asleep, Luo Lingyue made a decision without hesitation - she was going to climb out the window and leave the room!
When Luo Lingyue successfully climbed out of the window and disappeared into the night, Xiao Jinghan, who was supposed to be in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes and quickly sat up straight. He sighed helplessly and said to himself: "Alas, what a worrying person!" His words were full of doting and worry.
In the pitch-black night, a dark moon hung high in the sky, emitting a strange light. Dark Moon Fairy flew into the bedroom of Li Jingshu in the East Palace like a ghost.
Inside the bedroom, the candlelight was dim and filled with a dull and depressing atmosphere. Li Jingshu lay lifeless on the bed, as if she had lost her soul. Her originally beautiful face now became pale and haggard, her eyes were closed, as if all her vitality had been drained away.
The maids who were responsible for taking care of Li Jingshu had already fallen asleep. They seemed to have lost their patience and care for this disfavored master. After all, in this palace, being favored and being disfavored often meant a world of difference.
Dark Moon Fairy quietly stared at the unconscious Li Jingshu, with a cold smile on her face: "It's too easy for you to die so easily like this!"
She reached out and gently pried open Li Jingshu's tightly closed lips, then stuffed a mysterious pill into them. The pill exuded a faint fragrance, but it also had an unsettling smell.
Dark Moon Fairy sneered and said: "Your suffering has just begun. I will bring you back to life and let you live in pain and torture every day, and experience the true taste of hell!"
As the pill slid into Li Jingshu's throat, a cunning light flashed in Dark Moon Fairy's eyes. She knew that this pill would trigger a terrible change, and Li Jingshu's fate would change from then on.
After doing all this, Dark Moon Fairy turned and left, leaving Li Jingshu in a deep coma. The palace was still quiet, with only the dark moon silently witnessing everything...
Dark Moon Enchantress stepped lightly out of Li Jingshu's bedroom, and at the corner of the path stood a tall man like a ghost.
Dark Moon Enchantress narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze was as sharp as a knife. The man seemed to feel her gaze, and slowly turned his head to look at her.
Dark Moon Fairy snorted coldly, walked up to the man with a hint of disdain, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you have anything else to do? Why are you following me so closely?"
Xueying raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a teasing smile, and responded: "Didn't you swear to fight Li Jingshu to the death? Now you are trying to save her, what exactly does this mean?"
Dark Moon Fairy's voice was icy cold, as if it could freeze the air around her. She gritted her teeth and said, "It would be too easy for her to die so easily! I will make her suffer so much pain that she can neither live nor die!"
Xueying looked down at the woman in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he laughed softly: "On the wedding night, instead of accompanying your husband properly, you actually ran out to steal! Poor Prince Xiao, he probably doesn't know that his wife is behaving like this!"
After hearing this, Dark Moon Fairy's face instantly turned gloomy. She suddenly raised her foot and kicked Blood Shadow hard, and Blood Shadow's body flew straight out like a kite with a broken string.
Dark Moon Enchantress crossed the high wall of the East Palace and disappeared into the night.
