After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

"Xiao Shunzi," Xie Mi opened her red lips slightly, her eyes fixed on the thin eunuch kneeling on the ground, "From today on, when Qinghe and Aya are not around, you will be the eunuch in charge of Yilan Palace. The rest of the palace maids and eunuchs will be under your command."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shunzi's face flashed with a look of flattery, and he kowtowed quickly and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty! I... I will definitely live up to your expectations!" He was so excited that his voice trembled.

Xie Mishuang nodded slightly, her tone carrying a hint of testing: "I will now give you a task. Only if you complete it well can you be considered a real manager."

Xiao Shunzi quickly raised his head, his eyes filled with desire and determination: "Your Majesty, please give me your orders, and I will do my best to carry them out!"

"For the past few days, I don't know why, but there's always something missing in my bedroom," Xie Mishuang said with a hint of displeasure in her tone, "I suspect someone took it."

Xiao Shunzi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, my loyalty to you is evident to all. Even if I had ten times the courage, I would not dare to take your things!" Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his tone was anxious, fearing that Xie Mishuang would misunderstand him.

"That's why I need to find someone to investigate thoroughly," Xie Mishuang said calmly, yet with unquestionable authority, "Go ahead."

"I understand. I'll check it out right away!" Xiao Shunzi didn't dare to delay. He quickly stood up, bowed and walked out.

As night falls, the Yilan Palace is brightly lit.

Xie Mishuang was sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her long hair like a waterfall in front of the bronze mirror.

At this time, Xiao Shunzi came in with two palace maids.

These two palace maids were the ones who were whispering outside the palace before. At this moment, they were pale and trembling. As soon as they saw Xie Mishuang, they knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Your Majesty, please spare us! I was wrong! I won't dare to do it again!" The two palace maids cried out, their voices shrill and particularly harsh in the silent hall.

Xie Mishuang put down the comb in her hand, turned around slowly, and stared coldly at the two palace maids kneeling on the ground. She said in a cold tone: "From today on, you don't have to stay here. Yilan Palace can't support two big Buddhas like you."

Upon hearing this, the two palace maids were immediately panicked and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, please have mercy on us! There are only a few concubines in the palace. If you don't want us, we can only do hard work in the laundry hall!" They cried bitterly, their voices choked, and begged bitterly.

Xie Mishuang remained unmoved, her tone still icy: "You brought today's consequences upon yourselves. Whether you suffer or enjoy happiness in the future, it has nothing to do with me. Xiao Shunzi, let them go."

Xiao Shunzi nodded in agreement and quickly took the two crying palace maids out.

Peace returned to the palace. Xiao Shunzi returned to Xie Mishuang and asked with a hint of confusion, "Your Majesty, why don't you punish them? Letting them go like this would be too easy for them."

Xie Mishuang chuckled, a hint of deep meaning flashing in her eyes: "These two people might be that person's spies, I dare not offend them."

Xiao Shunzi was startled when he heard this and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you referring to... the Emperor?"

"Who else could it be besides him?" Xie Mishuang said with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "The Emperor has long suspected that I have a mysterious background, so it's understandable that he would plant spies here. However, these two did indeed rely on the Emperor's support to steal some valuables. It's better to send them away to avoid further trouble in the future."

Xie Mishuang looked at Xiao Shunzi standing respectfully in front of her, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "This matter is well done. You have been in the palace for a long time. Go and pick two smart maids for me tomorrow."

Xiao Shunzi straightened his back even more with this praise, and a flattering smile appeared on his face: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely pick out the two smartest ones for you!" After saying that, he bowed and retreated.

Outside Yilan Palace, the night was deep and the palace lanterns were swaying, stretching Xiao Shunzi's figure out of place.

He walked quickly, thinking about where to find a suitable maid tomorrow, one who was smart, loyal, and...

At the same time, the atmosphere in the magnificent imperial study seemed a little solemn.

A young servant bent down and whispered something in Eunuch Yu's ear.

After hearing this, Eunuch Yu's face changed slightly. He then walked to the imperial desk and said softly, "Your Majesty, the people from Concubine Shu's side have been sent away by her. Do you think we should send more people over?"

Ouyang Jing was reviewing memorials. Upon hearing this, his brows furrowed and his head began to ache slightly.

He threw the memorial aside irritably, his tone cold: "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to care about other women."

Upon seeing this, Eunuch Yu hurried forward and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, is your headache coming back again? I'll go get the imperial physician right away."

Ouyang Jing rubbed his temples, his face pale, and waved his hand weakly: "No need, let's go to Yilan Palace."

Eunuch Yu did not dare to delay and immediately arranged a sedan chair to carry Ouyang Jing to Yilan Palace.

In Yilan Palace, Xie Mishuang was preparing to go to bed.

She took off her complicated palace dress and wore only a thin nightgown, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall.

Suddenly, a eunuch's shrill announcement came from outside the palace: "The Emperor has arrived——"

Xie Mishuang was slightly stunned, then reacted, quickly put on an outer robe, and walked quickly to the outside of the hall to greet him.

"Your Majesty, your servant respectfully welcomes you." Xie Mishuang bowed and spoke respectfully.

Ouyang Jing's gaze fell on Xie Mishuang with a complicated look.

The outer robe she was wearing was a little messy, revealing the thin nightgown underneath, which made her look even more delicate and charming.

"Is Concubine Shu getting ready to go to bed?" Ouyang Jing's tone was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you for a long time, so I am going to rest. I didn't know that you would come, so please forgive my rudeness." Xie Mishuang's tone was gentle, with a hint of grievance.

Ouyang Jing looked at her like this and felt inexplicably irritated.

This woman, was she imitating Shuang'er intentionally or unintentionally to win his attention? How naive!

"I'm just here for a while and will leave. If you want to rest, then rest. " Ouyang Jing said coldly, and then walked straight into the hall.

Xie Mishuang followed silently behind him, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

As soon as Ouyang Jing walked into Yilan Palace, he smelled a faint fragrance that was refreshing.

The aroma miraculously relieved the headache.

Seeing that Ouyang Jing's expression seemed to have eased a little, Xie Mishuang asked with concern, "Is the Emperor suffering from an old illness? Is there no way the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital can cure it?"

Ouyang Jing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a hint of fatigue: "I have a heart disease, they can't cure it. It's you who are here, making me feel more comfortable."
