Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 109: The Gloomy Eunuch and the Imperial Concubine (12)

"Master Xia, please respect yourself."

Li Huaiyi bent down and took a few steps back. His voice was gentle, but his drooping eyelashes were filled with impatience and annoyance.

"You saved my life, and I helped you. We have no connection, so why should you avoid me like a snake?"

Xia Luoning looked at him in disbelief, opening and closing her mouth for a long time, but she didn't know what to say.

The scene from three years ago appeared in her mind.

It was then that she was sent to the palace by her father. Because her father was partial to her elder sister, she was bullied and oppressed everywhere at home, and her aunt could never hold her head up.

It was obvious that the father was attracted by the concubine and wanted her, but the victim was repeatedly punished by the mistress.

If her aunt had not been pregnant with her, it is unknown whether she would still be alive today.

However, her father, the head of the family, the Minister of War who held the second rank, turned a blind eye to them and allowed the legitimate descendants to bully them at will.

Later, seeing that she was good-looking, he started to have ideas about her again.

With the intention of using her to earn a future, he became somewhat friendly to her and her aunt.

Then, she was sent to the palace by her hypocritical father to pave the way for his official career and his elder sister's future.

The emperor is older than his father.

The night she entered the palace, she was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for a walk to relax.

When she reached the lake, she suddenly heard an extremely noisy noise ahead.

But because it was dark she could only see some human figures, and she couldn't see the situation over there clearly. She only heard a "splash" sound of someone falling into the water.

Xia Luoning was smart, and she knew what kind of silencing situation she might encounter.

She was so scared that she quickly hid in the cracks of the rockery and didn't dare to breathe.

After she had hesitated for a long time, she waited until everything around her was quiet before she mustered up the courage to go over and check the situation.

Seeing that there was indeed someone struggling weakly in the water, she was so scared that she quickly took a few steps back and turned around to leave.

But when she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the man's face in the moonlight, which was wet and seemed to be glowing.

So she decisively changed her mind and found a branch to save him.

Fortunately, he slowly regained consciousness, grabbed a branch and swam up.

Xia Luoning was panting with exhaustion. After the man climbed ashore and stood up, she realized something was wrong.

The man was clearly wearing eunuch's clothes, but he did not have any symbols of a eunuch, and his body was as straight as a bamboo.

The originally loose clothes stuck tightly to the body after getting wet, which shows that her figure is not thin at all.

What made her even more stunned was that handsome and evil face. She felt that he must be very handsome after just a quick glance.

Now looking at it from a close distance, it seemed as if she were a god, so sharp that she dared not look at it a second time.

Xia Luoning turned around in panic, her usually calm and peaceful features now filled with panic and shyness. She whispered:

"You, your clothes..."

Li Huaiyi realized that he might have been exposed. He frowned and looked up at the woman in front of him with her back to him. The murderous intent in his eyes almost became real.

"As a eunuch, it's no wonder that you are destined to be killed."

Xia Luoning muttered quietly, but Li Huaiyi practiced martial arts, so he naturally heard what she said.

The real reason why he gave up the action was that he returned alive, but a concubine suddenly died, which made him a big suspect.

So, he pretended to be grateful and whispered:

"Thank you very much, Master, for saving me. How should I report your life-saving grace?"

Xia Luoning subconsciously thought of a sentence:

I have nothing to repay you with but my body.

Realizing what she was thinking, Xia Luoning's cheeks flushed red, and she stammered:

"No, no need."

Seeing that he insisted, she finally tried to get away with it by saying that she "didn't want to sleep with him".

Unexpectedly, he could really help her and gave her a secret medicine that was harmless but could fake her pulse to help her avoid being favored.

She was delighted and wanted to thank him in person.

But what she didn't expect was that this person had completely disappeared since then, and no matter how hard she looked, there was no trace of him.

Just when she was feeling depressed and ready to give up, she accidentally discovered that there was a young eunuch frequently coming and going in Yuhua Pavilion. She observed him several times and the more she looked, the more familiar he looked.

It was not until she stopped him just now that she was completely sure that although his face had changed, he was the person who had disappeared for three years!

But before she could be happy, his cold and distant behavior suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on her.

So the previous questioning scene happened.

Xia Luoning's tears finally fell from her eyes, and she choked up and said:

"No connection? What a good one! I'll find..."

Before he could finish his words, he was choked back by the sudden look of Li Huaiyi.

Li Huaiyi cast sharp eyes in a certain direction and almost looked at Ruan Guannan through the bushes.

Ruan Guannan put down the small branch that was covering himself awkwardly, looked up at the sky as if passing by, then looked at the two people, ignored the crying woman, coughed lightly and said:

"Haha, the weather is nice. I am just taking a stroll. Is Lady Xia also taking a stroll?"

Xia Luoning looked at her in astonishment, quickly raised her handkerchief to cover her face, and hurriedly said, "I'll go back first."

He trotted back to Huizhuxuan.

After only one person was left, Ruan Guannan felt much more at ease.

She walked closer step by step under Li Huaiyi's gaze, and the latter immediately bowed and saluted.

"This servant greets Lady Ruan."

"Get up." Ruan Guannan said casually.

Then, she looked around Li Huaiyi and said with a click of the tongue.

"I never thought that Eunuch An is so charming that even the emperor's concubines can be attracted by you. You are really bold."

Li Huaiyi felt a pain in his palm, and there was anger in his eyes that he had not noticed. He whispered back:

"Lady Ruan, you are joking. I have met Lady Xia less than you, so how can there be any attraction?"

Ruan Guannan paused, looking at this seemingly honest and rigid little eunuch in surprise, and said incredulously:

"How dare you tease me with your words? You really are not afraid of death."

Li Huaiyi lowered his head even lower, and said in a fearful voice:

"Please spare my life, noble lady Ruan. This servant has no such intention."

"Hmph! I'm sorry you don't dare either."

Ruan Guannan's voice is charming and pleasant, just like the little lark in the forest.

Even scolding people doesn't make them feel annoyed at all. Instead, they want to unconditionally agree with everything she says.

"Eunuch An, since we know each other, I would like to advise you to do your job well and never covet things that do not belong to you."

After a pause, he said in a subtle tone, "Or, people."

After saying that, she patted his shoulder with her fan, then turned around and left.

Li Huaiyi kept bending over, his eyes fixed on the pearl that was accidentally scraped off the woman's shoe.

Even if it falls into the mud, it still sparkles with a bright light.

A person who doesn't belong to me...? He definitely doesn't belong to me...
