Chapter 271 This Perverted Guy
When the palace servant heard Xin Moyan so disrespectfully call the emperor by his name, he almost pressed his face to the floor, too frightened to even breathe.
"Little Yan'er, I have said that you may call me husband or king, but you must not use my full name, especially in front of others."
Her eyes darted around, then she looked up and asked sincerely and politely, "Then may I ask Your Majesty, could you please release me?"
"No."
"Then have someone prepare some food for me, I'm hungry."
"Ah."
"Then could you please not lock me up?"
"Ok?"
Meeting Ye Wumian's scrutinizing gaze, Xin Moyan cleared her throat and explained earnestly, "Your Majesty, look at me locked up by you. The palace is your territory, and I can't run away. Besides, being locked up like this makes it inconvenient to eat, drink, and relieve myself. It's one thing if I can't hold chopsticks, but when it comes to the three urgent needs of a person, you should at least consider my feelings!"
Nightless stroked her red hair and nodded casually, saying, "That makes sense. Anyway, my assassins are all over the palace. If any unknown people appear, they will make her bleed on the spot. I'm not afraid that Yan'er will escape."
She twitched the corner of her mouth, speechless at the person.
Just then, a middle-aged eunuch rushed in from outside and knelt down by the pool with a thud.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, something has happened."
He paused in his unlocking motion, gripped the golden key in his hand again, his eyes flashed, and his face suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying.
“If nothing serious happens, I will kill you.”
The eunuch was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, Consort Xiao was... was beaten by Consort Yao."
Ye Wumian's brow twitched, and he stared coldly at the eunuch not far away, saying lazily, "If you've been hit, then go find the imperial physician. I don't know how to treat illnesses, so why would you come to me?"
"Your Majesty, but... but Consort Xiao has pushed her to the ground and is suffering from severe abdominal pain."
"What did you say?"
He rushed forward and grabbed the eunuch by the collar, demanding, "Explain yourself! What happened to her?"
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine and the fetus are unharmed, but they have been frightened. The imperial physician says we need to be careful."
Seeing his panicked expression, Xin Moyan sniffed, as if she could smell the gossip in the air. Could it be that the harem of Ye Lan was as lively as Yuan Qi's?
Isn't it said that Emperor Yelan is suspicious by nature and his mood is unpredictable? If he is unhappy, court officials and concubines can be dragged away and beheaded in a heartbeat.
Now it seems the rumors were wrong!
Ye Wumian composed himself, casually tossed the eunuch aside, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief as if in disgust.
He raised his chin arrogantly, "I know, what else did she say?"
"This...this servant wasn't sent by the Noble Consort."
As soon as she finished speaking, the temperature in the entire room plummeted, and Xin Moyan couldn't help but shiver.
With a "bang," the eunuch was kicked far away.
With her red eyes blazing with fire, Ye Wumian roared, "She didn't ask you to come over, so why are you interfering? Let her fall, let her fall and die along with her unborn child."
"Your Majesty, please forgive us! It was... it was Consort Xiao who sent someone to invite you. Her face was slashed by the Noble Consort with a long, bloody gash. Please, Your Majesty, grant us your request."
"Hmph! I'll make the decision!"
The fox-like man's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of murderous intent gradually surfacing in them. "Guards, proclaim my decree: Consort Xiao has failed in her service to the Emperor and has acted recklessly in the harem, displaying no behavior befitting a mistress of the palace. She is hereby granted..."
The phrase "having committed numerous evils" suddenly echoed in his mind. He thought for a moment and continued, "I bestow the Ice Dust Palace upon Consort Xiao to settle her for the rest of her life."
“This…is it, Your Majesty.”
Faced with this capricious emperor, the eunuch dared not hesitate for a moment. However, according to the past, His Majesty should have ordered Consort Xiao to commit suicide!
"Did the imperial physician say she's alright? What about the child?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. The imperial physician said that Consort Gui grew up in the countryside and is more robust than ordinary women. Apart from the initial abdominal pain, there are no other abnormalities. After taking the medicine to prevent miscarriage, she will be fine."
Ye Wumian's eyes darkened. He turned and stepped across the pool, sat down next to Xin Moyan, and used the golden key to unlock the door for her. His gaze became increasingly complex and cold.
"It just so happens that I was going to send a few people to serve Xiao Yan'er. Since Consort Yao is alright, go and summon her over. Tell her to take good care of Ye Lan's future empress these next few days."
"Clap!"
The golden lock opened with a click, and Xin Moyan rubbed her numb right arm, feeling curious about that Consort Yao.
"Little Yan'er, remember, you can only move around in this Night Palace. If you leave this room..."
He pointed to a large group of palace servants kneeling outside the door, "I will kill them all."
Xin Moyan nodded vigorously, "Yes, Your Majesty, I won't leave. Please send someone to bring me food quickly, I'm so hungry."
She needed to be well-fed to have the strength to resist. She needed to figure out the current situation before making any plans. This Ye Wumian seemed a bit neurotic; she shouldn't provoke him further...
"What are you standing there for? Go and have her come and serve Xiao Yan'er!"
Nightless suddenly roared, startling everyone in the room.
"Yes Yes Yes!"
After roaring, he reverted to his original seductive and alluring demeanor, as if the sinister look he had just displayed was not his own.
"Hehe~ Little Yan'er, after you've eaten your fill, take a rest. I'll have someone prepare a warm bath for you. Don't even think about running away, unless... you want to be dried human flesh."
Xin Moyan gasped instantly, swallowing hard. What a perverted man!
Immediately afterwards, she nodded and watched Ye Wumian leave with a smile on her face.
As all the palace servants escorted the Night Emperor away, the vermilion gates closed, and the entire Night Palace fell silent in an instant.
She flopped onto the bed, her face filled with utter despair. What on earth had happened? How had she ended up in the Kingdom of Yelan? Her brother and Xuan Yuan must be frantically searching for her, right? Would they even know she was here?
Xuan Yuan, how exactly did you provoke that pervert Ye Wumian?
No! She couldn't just sit and wait to die. If she really married this pervert in a few days, she'd be in big trouble. She had to think carefully about how to escape...
Outside the Night Mandarin Duck Palace, Ye Wumian glanced back at the tightly closed gate, a meaningful smile curving his lips.
"Your Majesty, you haven't slept all night. Would you like to... go back and rest for a while?"
Recalling the old eunuch's report, a figure flashed through his mind, a red robe flicking.
"No, let's go to the Hall of Mourning Music."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Inside the Hall of Mourning Music, on an extremely luxurious ebony bed, a woman was lovingly stroking her swollen belly, completely unaware of the person gradually approaching behind her.
"You're not one to act rashly. What did that bitch say to you?"
Her expression changed, and she hurriedly threw off the covers, making as if to kneel down to pay her respects, but Ye Wumian caught her in time.
