Chapter 166 Unruly, Ruthless, and Cunning Prince (Gong) VS Debauched, Insane, and Sickly Emperor (Sh
As the sun was about to set, all the glass lamps in the hall were lit, and the door to the sleeping quarters was opened, releasing a rush of heat.
Yuan Huan was burned on the back of the neck.
He moved his stiff and numb hands and feet, and frowned as he looked into the hall.
The eunuchs who came out were all covered in sweat.
Isn't this supposed to be acupuncture? It looks more like they're going to steam the little emperor's bedchamber.
Although he was quite curious and wanted to go in and take a look, he thought better of it and decided against it, lest the young emperor ask him for a handkerchief.
After a while, the chief eunuch came out with the doctor. After ordering someone to carefully see them off, he turned to another eunuch waiting by the door and instructed, "Convey His Majesty's decree to summon Consort Li to come and accompany him."
"Yes." The eunuch replied and was about to turn around to announce it when he heard a cold voice.
Yuan Huan sneered and stopped him, saying, "Stop."
As soon as the words fell, a chill ran down the backs of the chief eunuch and the eunuch, and the chill became more and more bone-chilling as the footsteps approached.
Yuan Huan emerged from the shadows, and the lock bell hooked at the end of his braid made an eerie sound.
He gripped the hilt of the knife, his entire being exuding a cold and imposing aura.
The eunuch's hand holding the whisk trembled uncontrollably. He quickly wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve, thinking that the task His Majesty had assigned him was indeed quite difficult.
After all, the fiercest eagles roam outside the palace.
Unfortunately, the eunuch was oblivious and, still trembling, tried to ask if they should send someone else over.
The head eunuch gave him a wink, signaling him not to ask, then turned around and said, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Yuan Huan asked in an ambiguous tone, "What edict did the Grand Eunuch just announce?"
The chief eunuch felt a chill in the air and, mustering his courage, looked at Yuan Huan, only to find that his eyes were cold and sharp, with an unfathomable danger that seemed to overflow. In particular, his condescending posture was even more oppressive.
Having served the emperor for so long, his greatest skill was understanding his master's mind.
Unfortunately, Yuan Huan's eyes were completely undisguised, as if he wasn't afraid of being seen, so the chief eunuch easily glimpsed something inside, something extremely deadly.
However, with the imperial decree in hand, the chief eunuch still forced himself to remain calm and repeated the order.
The little emperor had this idea right after the needles were used.
Yuan Huan cursed under his breath, a nameless anger rising within him.
After a moment, he chuckled mockingly, looked into the hall, and said, "They really are... impatient!"
The last four words carried a sense of gritted teeth.
The atmosphere fell into a deathly silence.
Yuan Huan finally couldn't hold back his anger any longer and strode towards the inner hall.
The eunuch tried to stop him, but the chief eunuch raised his hand to stop him.
This person is someone they can't possibly stop.
Moreover, judging from the prince's posture, anyone who went up would probably get kicked.
After the man went inside, the eunuch cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Grand Eunuch, shall we still summon Consort Li?"
"Who can fathom His Majesty's thoughts?" The chief eunuch hesitated for a moment, then said, "Go."
Inside the palace.
Jiang Xiyu had just finished acupuncture, and his clothes were still loose, exposing his collarbone. Just as the eunuch was about to step forward to serve him as he went to take a bath, the beaded curtain was suddenly lifted, making a series of chaotic and crisp sounds.
He frowned slightly, realizing that the person had entered faster than he had expected.
Jiang Xiyu turned his head to look at Yuan Huan, his face displeased, and said, "How can the young master be so rude? Do you have something important to discuss with me again?"
"Your Majesty, I have come to serve you," Yuan Huan said, his gaze fixed directly on Jiang Xiyu.
Jiang Xiyu coldly said, "How dare you!"
Yuan Huan didn't take it seriously. He stepped forward, forced the eunuch away, and said, "If Your Majesty wants to change clothes or take a bath, I can serve you."
"You, serve me? Does the young master know what he's saying?" Jiang Xiyu scoffed, somewhat disdainfully: "Does the young master not know how rough his hands are? I can't stand it a second time."
Yuan Huan looked at the bead of sweat that had slid down his collarbone and almost lost his mind, saying, "My hands are rough and can't compare to a woman's hands, but my loyalty to His Majesty is as clear as day."
Jiang Xiyu suddenly chuckled and said to Yuan Huan, "Is the Crown Prince's loyalty to rebel against his superiors and barge into my bedchamber?"
Yuan Huan looked down at him and said, "Your Majesty may punish me as you wish, but I will still serve you as I should."
"I don't like your rude condescending gaze." Jiang Xiyu narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming even more sinister under Yuan Huan's shadow.
Yuan Huan said, "This height is not something I can control."
He will not back down.
Jiang Xiyu finally lost his temper and said, "Then stay away from me. If you keep looking at me like that, I will order your eyes to be gouged out."
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry," Yuan Huan said perfunctorily, his gaze not moving an inch.
He only needed to lower his eyes slightly to take in all the scenery, and he did just that. The wildness that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time rose up, like a horse that had broken free of its reins, and no amount of shouting could stop it.
The jade under the lamp was breathtakingly beautiful.
He looked at Jiang Xiyu, whose clothes were almost falling off, his fair skin stained with a thin layer of sweat, and his fingertips twitched restlessly at his sides. The urge to wipe the sweat from the young emperor's body grew stronger.
Jiang Xiyu could feel his eager heartbeat.
He didn't look up at Yuan Huan, but after a moment, a smile appeared on his lips: "I've said it before, I don't like you looking at me like that."
In that cramped shadow, he slightly stretched out his hand, pointed at Yuan Huan's chest, and whispered as if bewitching him, "Kneel down, kneel down and I'll let you serve me."
Yuan Huan's breathing became heavier, and without hesitation, he asked him, "Does Your Majesty keep your word?"
Jiang Xiyu, with an arrogant expression, said, "My word is as good as gold."
Yuan Huan laughed, leaned closer to him, and said in a harsh voice, "Then I will listen to this decree."
After he finished speaking, he took half a step back and then knelt down on one knee.
Honestly, this was the first time he had ever knelt before the young emperor.
Yuan Huan was a man who would never kneel before anyone except his parents.
This time, however, he readily succumbed to lust.
But as he knelt down, he didn't stop there; he seized the opportunity to grab the young emperor's hand.
Yes, he had always wanted to touch the little emperor's hand.
Now that he had finally touched it, he found that the feel was even better than he had imagined.
The young emperor's hands were like jade, cool to the touch, and incredibly soft.
He couldn't help but stroke it.
Jiang Xiyu felt as if she had been burned by his palm. Her eyes widened, and she struggled to pull her hand away, saying, "Yuan Huan, you..."
Upon hearing the name, Yuan Huan paused for a moment, suddenly feeling that the two characters sounded somewhat unfamiliar.
After a long while, he tightened his grip even more, pretending not to have heard clearly, and insisted that Jiang Xiyu say it again.
"Your Majesty, what did you call me? Say it again."
Jiang Xiyu struggled in vain, his face turning red with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Huan, let go of me!"
"Didn't Your Majesty say that as long as I kneel down, I would be allowed to serve you?" Yuan Huan looked up at him, his voice suddenly becoming low and hoarse, and said, "Your Majesty's hands are too cold, let me warm them for you."
