The Virtuous Concubine

Chapter 221 Catching Up on Sleep

Nalan seemed not to notice, his hands kept moving, and his lips pecked Malu's ear. Malu said coquettishly, "I won't allow you to be so presumptuous."

But there was a slight tremor in his voice, and it had no intimidating power at all.

Nalan murmured softly: "Empress Defei is so charming, how can I stop." As he spoke, his hand continued to move upwards.

Malu was embarrassed and anxious, so she pushed him away with some force and said, "If you do this again, I will really be angry."

Nalan then stopped, his eyes full of desire and reluctance, and said, "I really can't help myself."

Malu straightened her messy clothes and said, "If you really care about me, you shouldn't be so frivolous."

Nalan panicked and said hurriedly: "Malu, that's not what I meant, it's just that I... lost my composure for a moment."

Malu showed some sarcasm on his face: "Property? How can you talk about propriety when you don't care about other people's lives? I think you are just selfish and only care about your own happiness."

Nalan's face was full of regret: "I was confused and said the wrong thing. Please don't misunderstand me like this. I will definitely find a way to properly handle this matter, not let you down, and not hurt the girl from the Lu family."

Malu reached out and touched his face: "You say this now, who knows what you will do in the future? Most of the oaths of men in this world are not trustworthy."

Nalan eagerly assured, "Malu, I will never let you down. If I disobey you, I will be struck by lightning."

Malu looked at him with doubt in his eyes and said, "Forget it, let's see how you do it. But if you can really handle it well, there won't be such a situation today."

Nalan remained silent, his brows furrowed.

Malu continued, "If you are really responsible, you shouldn't act so recklessly."

Nalan raised his head and said, "Then what should I do? Should I really marry her and betray you?"

Malu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Perhaps this is your fate."

If I hadn't come here, he would have loved Lu all his life and written countless touching poems for her until Lu passed away, thus achieving my own fame.

Nalan looked unwilling and said, "I don't believe in fate, I only believe in my own heart."

He kissed her again, as if with a determination to die. Malu was shocked by his sudden kiss and trembled all over. She wanted to push him away, but she softened her heart at that moment.

Nalan kissed more and more passionately, as if he wanted to pour all the resentment and affection in his heart into this kiss.

Malu gradually lost herself in his passion, and her hands involuntarily wrapped around his neck.

The space was limited, and both of them felt very constrained. But it was precisely because of this constraint that the few things they could do became even more precious and rare.

Until there was a sudden change from cold to hot, Malu was startled and grabbed his hand tightly, trying to stop him.

Nalan had no intention of stopping, and it was impossible to stop him now.

Seeing that the matter was done, Malu felt ashamed and angry, and bit him hard.

Nalan felt pain and loosened his grip a little, but only a little. Both of them were breathing heavily, looking into each other's eyes, full of complicated emotions.

Malu's face flushed red, and he glared at Nalan in reproach, saying, "You're going too far!"

Nalan didn't say anything. He was too busy to be distracted.

After a cup of tea, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.

Malu snorted: "You are always so impulsive. Don't do this again in the future."

Nalan nodded quickly: "I will listen to you, as long as you don't get angry with me."

Seeing his cautious look, Malu's anger also subsided a lot: "I will let you go this time, but if there is a next time, I will never bother with you again."

Nalan hurriedly said: "If I really let you down, I will be struck by lightning."

There was no mention of whether there would be a next time.

Malu quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't say such unlucky words."

Nalan took her hand and said, "Malu, you still care about me after all."

Malu broke free from his hand and said, "Stop talking so smoothly and leave now."

Nalan approached her again and said, "Let me take one more look at you. I don't know when I will see you again after I leave."

Malu smiled and pushed him, then fixed her clothes: "Go quickly, don't talk too much, or else there will be trouble."

Nalan looked at her reluctantly, and took the handkerchief to wipe the water for her. He was so flustered that the more he wiped, the more water came out. Malu was so angry that she hit him, and he carefully put the handkerchief in his arms and said, "I'm leaving now, take care of yourself."

After saying this, Nalan left, looking back every few steps.

When Malu saw him leave, she began to check if there was anything wrong in the room. After putting everything in its place, she opened the window for ventilation and then sat down to embroider again.

But as she embroidered, her thoughts drifted away involuntarily. Nalan's face appeared before her eyes, and the needle and thread in her hands slowed down.

What happened today... Her face turned red, and she covered her burning cheeks with her hands, thinking secretly in her heart, this is really too ridiculous.

But what if she was pregnant? She felt nervous and counted the days.

Depend on!

The system, which had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but said, "Now I know I'm panicking!"

Malu was also a little embarrassed. She probably knew that the system had been silent recently and was somewhat speechless to her.

It’s like when your best friend sees you like this, she knows it’s useless to try to persuade you, so she hardens her heart and keeps silent, even though she still cares about you.

But this was not the time to be shy, so she asked the system: "Can I have someone else's child?"

The system replied sullenly: "The stomach is yours, how can I control you?"

Only then did Malu feel half relieved, but the other half, of course, was worried about the time it would take for the child to be conceived.

If she got pregnant, it would be fine if she could just let it go and give birth to Kangxi. If not, Rong Ji would help her.

But how to answer Rong Ji? This time does not match the time for sleeping with him, and she has never been intimate with him, but she is pregnant...

Seeing her so anxious, the system half complained and half comforted her: "Alright, alright, it's not certain yet. He's such a little chicken, and he's so fast, how can he hit the target in one shot?"

Malu smiled with her lips pursed. It seemed that the system had a lot of complaints against Nalan.

Isn't it! Walking on the tightrope every day is not only a problem, but it is also very likely to cause trouble for the tasker. If the tasker also needs to vent, it will give him a severe shock even if it is a violation.

The system promised to monitor Malu's physical condition every day. When the marks on Malu's body disappear in the next two days, she will also actively seek favor and go to Kangxi to make up for it once, so that it will be recorded in Tong history.

There is only a difference of two or three days, so it shouldn’t be a big problem and will not affect the child’s household registration.

In short, it is absolutely impossible to let the cute Rong Ji know about this fourth person. He would be so sad if he knew.

Malu felt a little relieved after hearing what the system said. But when she thought about going to ask Kangxi for favor, she felt bitter again. "Forget it, just in case, this is the only way." She sighed secretly.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door. Malu was startled, but quickly calmed down and said, "Come in."

It turned out to be Bai Fu who came in with tea and snacks. Bai Fu looked at Malu and asked, "Madam, you don't look well. Are you tired?"

Ma Lu forced a smile, put down the embroidery shed at hand and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired. This Hunan embroidery is really annoying."

Bai Fu put down the tea and snacks and said, "Then your Majesty, please take a rest for a while." Then she began to clear the table of needlework.

Bai Fu was careful and she felt something was wrong as she was collecting the items.
