Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Mu Zhou's fingertips felt a little cold.

But Qin Huai's skin was hot, like a furnace.

The slight coolness was soon covered and absorbed by the scorching heat and could no longer be felt.

Qin Huai straightened his back silently.

Mu Zhou's fingers were obviously so slender and he was thin, but he actually had some strength.

Every time I press it, I feel a strange soreness and swelling.

The feeling gradually spread to the entire arm.

He was someone who had managed to hold on even after having his bones broken, but now he found it difficult to endure.

Qin Huai gritted his teeth silently and tensed himself.

Mu Zhou sensed his change and couldn't help but say:

"Your Highness, please don't use so much force."

There was a hint of complaint in the soft voice, but she was also angry but dared not speak out.

Qin Huai instantly realized that if she tensed her body like this, the muscles in her shoulders would become stiffer, and it would definitely take her some effort to massage them.

Thinking of this, he instantly lost all his strength.

But in this way, Mu Zhou's soft fingering felt even more obvious to him.

Qin Huai closed his eyes.

He kept a cold expression and let his anger rise.

Wu Jiang brought the medicine quickly. After Mu Zhou gave Qin Huai a massage, he carefully applied it on his body.

He had to wait until the medicine had dried before he could put on his clothes, so at this moment Qin Huai still had half of his shoulder exposed.

Mu Zhou avoided the sight and wiped his fingers, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar object out of the corner of his eye.

The pearl hairpin in the corner of Duobao Pavilion seemed to be one she had worn before.

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Zhou recalled the chaotic night when they first met.

Her pearl hairpins were scattered all over the floor. When she left, she changed her clothes in a hurry and casually tied her hair.

It must have fallen at that time.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huai still kept it.

Mu Zhou silently withdrew his gaze, changed his mind, and pretended not to see it.

It happened that Qin Huai suddenly said to her:

"Concubine Fang, who gave birth to the Third Prince and the First Princess, was banished to the cold palace and given poisoned wine today. Do you know the reason?"

Mu Zhou was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Qin Huai to mention Concubine Fang.

She nodded and told what she heard:

"Fang Jieyu is interfering in government affairs and committing an offense against her superiors."

But Qin Huai snorted lightly, with a sarcastic smile on his face:

"Those were just things I told others. Concubine Fang simply sang a song that the Emperor disliked, and because she displeased him, she was banished to the cold palace."

That's the ridiculous reason.

Even if she gave birth to a prince and a princess, she would not be immune from death in front of the unpredictable emperor.

His father acted without scruples and never took human life seriously.

After hearing this, Mu Zhou showed just the right amount of fear on his face.

Qin Huai saw this and softened his voice unconsciously:

"Don't be afraid. I owe you a favor after all. I will definitely save your life."

Mu Zhou tightened the handkerchief in his hand:

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Qin Huai stared at her leaving figure, thinking secretly.

Knowing how dangerous it is to be around her father, someone like her who values ​​life and is a little obsessed with money should come to her senses and turn back.

*

In the two days before leaving the East Palace, Mu Zhou would go to massage and apply medicine to Qin Huai every day.

For this, Qin Huai rewarded her with another 10,000 taels of silver.

With the reward, she happily left the East Palace.

On the way back to Xiangyun Palace, she deliberately took a shortcut, but unexpectedly met Concubine Yao and her group by the fish pond.

Concubine Yao paused while feeding the fish, and a hint of malice flashed in her eyes.

Seeing Mu Zhou bowing respectfully, she leaned on the railing in a charming manner, raised her chin arrogantly, but did not tell him to stand up.

When she saw Mu Zhou's body begin to tremble, she adjusted the golden phoenix hairpin on her head.

The maid beside her immediately scolded Mu Zhou:

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you get up? You dirty thing, aren't you afraid of offending the Empress?"

Mu Zhou pursed his lips slightly, shook his body, and then stood up with his brows lowered.

Her pitiful appearance made Concubine Yao feel inexplicably angry.

When the emperor gave the jade ring to this lowly maid that day, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

This vixen and lowly maid is deliberately trying to seduce the emperor.

Even though she was not the kind of seductive woman the emperor liked, he was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, so there was no guarantee that he would not want to try some plain porridge and side dishes.

Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Concubine Yao's eyes.

The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, and under Mu Zhou's gaze, she threw the bracelet on her hand into the fish pond, and then smiled coquettishly:

"Oh, what should I do? The bracelet given by the emperor fell into the fish pond."

Her senior maid immediately said, "This is the queen's favorite bracelet." She looked at Mu Zhou and pointed at her, "You, go down and pick it up for the queen."

Seeing Mu Zhou's frightened expression, she instinctively wanted to retreat, so the two palace maids immediately stepped forward, grabbed her, and pushed her to the edge of the fish pond.

Finally, amid Concubine Yao's giggles, Mu Zhou fell into the fish pond.

Although the fish pond was shallow, Mu Zhou was still soaked and she stepped awkwardly on the pebbles.

After finally picking up the bracelet, she was about to go up when she heard Concubine Yao say:

"How can she get out of such a high pool? Zhou Chenghai, go down and help her."

"Ah, I obey your command."

The malice in Concubine Yao's tone and the vulgarity on eunuch Zhou Chenghai's face intertwined on the shore.

Mu Zhou stepped back in horror.

Her body was already soaked, and the eunuch must have come down with bad intentions. After all this trouble, I'm afraid that after they get ashore, Concubine Yao's next move will be to pair them up for the sake of her reputation.

In this palace, it is not uncommon for palace maids and eunuchs to form couples.

Mu Zhou's face turned pale, and his voice trembled in panic:

"Empress Yao, I can go up there myself, please don't..."

The girl just stood in the water, her already slender body looking even more delicate and charming after being completely wet.

Her hair was slightly askew, with a few strands of black hair hanging down by her cheeks, like broken white jade, revealing a sense of forbearance and pity, yet unusually alluring.

Thinking that she had used this behavior to seduce the emperor, the gloom in Concubine Yao's heart spread even more. She pointed at the eunuchs around her with murderous intent and a ferocious expression:

"All of you, get off!"

Following a few splashing sounds of someone falling into the water, several eunuchs gathered around.

Mu Zhou's face was pale as he retreated silently until his back was leaning against the rockery.

When Concubine Yao saw this scene, the cruelty in her heart finally eased a little.

At this moment in the fish pond, there was no way to retreat. A look of determination flashed across Mu Zhou's face, and she quickly pulled off a hairpin from her head.

Just as he was about to stab the neck, a high-pitched voice with a drawn-out tone came:

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone was stunned and stopped what they were doing.

Concubine Yao's pupils suddenly contracted, and she quickly stood up with the help of the palace maid.

Mu Zhou, as if exhausted, leaned against the rockery and slowly slid down, falling into the fish pond.

There were tears in her eyes, and her lowered almond-shaped eyes made it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Qin Moyao had already walked to the edge of the fish pond. He stood there with his hands behind his back, his expression as cold as before.

He stared straight at Mu Zhou.

Even when seeing the farce in the fish pond, he was still equally nonchalant.

But Mu Zhou didn't look at him.

Qin Moyao twirled his fingers slightly.

Concubine Yao glanced coldly at Mu Zhou who was pretending to be pitiful, and saw that the emperor did not seem angry, she felt relieved.

She was about to explain, but she heard Qin Moyao say calmly:

"The palace servants around Concubine Yao who failed to provide adequate service will all be dragged away and beaten to death."
