My eunuch An is a yandere

Chapter 20 Holding Hands

In the palace, Bai Ningwei was assigned a small courtyard by the water. Living by the lake in this season of intermittent warmth and cold was truly a disheartening experience. Especially since one of the windows in the room faced the lake, and the cold wind blew through, making it feel like living in a freezer at night.

Fortunately, there were many braziers in the house, so the temperature was quite acceptable.

Because they arrived at the palace at night, the Empress exempted the other seven concubines from paying their respects. Bai Ningwei breathed a sigh of relief. She could only say that the Empress's health was precious, and she had no desire to get close to her. God only knew what had become of the Empress in this life. She was so determined to have a child, risking her life, that it made her, a clinging figure, tremble with fear.

Because of the bumpy ride, Bai Ningwei had no appetite. She quickly drank a bowl of chicken porridge and went to bed after washing up.

At this time, a young eunuch came outside to deliver something.

Caihe went out to receive it, and the leading eunuch bowed respectfully when he saw Caihe.

"I'm here to bring charcoal to Lady Hui. It's cold by the lake at night, and charcoal is essential. I must remind this sister to open a window to ensure ventilation, otherwise it's easy to get into trouble."

Caihe understood the rules, so she thanked the leading eunuch and gave him a handful of silver melon seeds.

The eunuch took it with a smile, and instructed the other eunuchs to put the things down and leave quietly.

Gualü looked at the two baskets of charcoal being carried in, opened the lids, and saw that they were actually silver-thread charcoal. This made her feel a little uneasy. Although her mistress enjoyed the allotment of a Concubine, she was not supposed to use silver-thread charcoal.

There was also the carriage they rode in when they came, and the small red clay stove in the carriage, which was obviously not part of the allowance.

When they arrived at the palace, except for the Emperor and Empress, the other concubines and officials all had green faces and stiff hands and feet when they got out of the carriage, obviously frozen all the way. Only her master, despite being uncomfortable with the bumpy ride, did not feel the slightest bit cold.

All these abnormalities seemed wrong, but Bai Ningwei was not surprised when she found out. She just ordered her son not to make it public and then pulled down the bed curtains and went to sleep.

Bai Ningwei was exhausted both physically and mentally after the long journey and fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow.

Outside, the night deepened. Aside from the sound of waves lapping against the shore, everything was silent. Gualü and Caihe left a single lamp burning in the main hall, then both fell asleep.

At some point, the sound of waves outside the window grew closer. In the moonlight, a figure paddling a small flat-leaf boat gradually approached Bai Ningwei's yard.

Bai Ningwei's yard is close to the lake. In order to facilitate viewing, the outer wall of the yard is cleverly integrated into the building, but the window for viewing the view is raised very high.

The boatman came ashore, holding a wooden box under one arm, and walked to the side of the window with familiarity.

The man took advantage of the height of the wooden box and easily pushed open the window that had been oiled long ago. As expected, this highest window was not closed, and he jumped into the house quietly without even looking for it.

The cold air rushed in as the figure opened the window. He calmly turned around and pushed the window back into place, ensuring that the cold air would not affect the temperature in the hall or the inflow of fresh air.

It only took a moment to do all this. The figure moved smoothly without showing any sign of panic, as if he was sneaking into his own house.

He stood quietly by the window for half an incense stick of time, making sure that the cold and moisture on his body had dissipated. Then he walked towards the dormitory with the help of the faint moonlight and the orange light scattered from the main hall.

With his thick soap boots stepping on the Persian carpet, he was like a nimble night cat, approaching his target silently and quickly.

After only ten steps, the bed was right in front of him. Even though there was a curtain between them, he could still see a woman lying inside in the dim light.

The woman has a graceful figure, showing off her curves. If you look closely, you can even see the rise and fall of her shallow breathing.

The figure walked to the bedside, stretched out his bony palm, and measured Bai Ningwei's body from the top of her head along the outline of her body through the curtain, one hand at a time.

After measuring, the figure chuckled.

"Only eight."

Although the voice was indistinguishable between male and female, it was clearly that of a tall but underdeveloped young man.

The young man reached out and gently parted the curtain, peeking inside, biting his lip in dissatisfaction. The light was too dim for him to see clearly.

But the tent was filled with Bai Ningwei's unique fragrance, which the young man greedily breathed in deeply. It was the fragrance he couldn't forget, but it wasn't enough.

It has been almost two years since he was reborn. He finally got such close contact with the woman he had dreamed of every night. But just smelling and looking at her could not reward himself for the hard work he had put in for her.

The young man simply sat on the bed, stretched out two fingers, imitated the posture of walking on his legs, and moved closer to Bai Ningwei's fingers little by little.

The moment their fingers touched, the young man sighed in satisfaction, his heart trembling. Finally, all his efforts to arrange this event were worthwhile.

Rubbing the fingertips in my hand, not only are they soft as if they have no bones, but the skin is also as smooth as silk.

This is probably what it means to be unable to put it down.

His greedy fingers finally clasped Bai Ningwei's unconscious, red, tender hand. The young man pinched his fingers twice, unwillingly, but didn't get the response he hoped for.

Well, she was asleep, so how could she possibly hold his hand back? Furthermore, if she woke up and saw a young eunuch playing with her hand, even the best-tempered person would probably slap him.

Bai Ningwei was having a nightmare while she was sleeping.

In her dream, she felt something slippery and soft against her hand. When she looked up, she saw a giant leech! It clung tightly to her hand, as if sucking all her blood dry.

Bai Ningwei was terrified and panicked. She desperately flailed her arms, trying to shake the leech off. But no matter how hard she tried, her arms and hands seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, unable to move at all. She could only jump around in panic like a madman, trying to get rid of the terrifying leech.

However, it was all in vain. The more she struggled, the tighter the leech seemed to wrap around her, leaving her feeling extremely desperate.

At this moment, the young man inside the bed curtains had already wrapped up the quilt that Bai Ningwei had kicked away, and then quietly left the room. He didn't realize that Bai Ningwei was experiencing a terrible nightmare.

The next morning, when Gualv woke Bai Ningwei up, she subconsciously shook her hands as soon as she opened her eyes, as if trying to get rid of something terrible.

That night, her dreams were extremely chaotic, with all kinds of strange scenes and things intertwined, leaving her a little dazed when she woke up. She tried hard to recall her dream last night, but most of the plot was already blurry. Only the giant leech was still clearly imprinted in her mind, giving her a chill.

She even had a vague feeling, as if something had really wrapped around her hand at night. This feeling made her hair stand on end and she felt uncomfortable all over.

"Gualv, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs today to ask for some medicine to drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants. I feel there are animals here." Bai Ningwei frowned and ordered Gualv.

Gualv became nervous upon hearing her master's words. She looked Bai Ningwei up and down and asked with concern, "Miss, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

Only after confirming that his master was fine did he breathe a sigh of relief.
