In the evening, Bai Su went to take a bath, and Duan Changchuan sat in the study reading a book.
He had just walked a long way outside and was now tired and drowsy. Although he had a book in his hand, his head was nodding.
I can’t even finish reading the policy papers that I usually love to read, and my eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.
I simply put the book on the table and stopped reading.
He called the eunuch guarding the gate: "Changle."
Changle immediately came in, bowing and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am here."
The young man peeked outside at the closed palace door, and the clever young eunuch immediately understood and closed the study door as well.
The queen stood before him and asked, "What are your instructions, Your Majesty?"
Duan Changchuan shook his head, patted the futon under the couch, and said, "It's nothing serious. Sit down first. I have a few words to say to you. Just some family talk. Don't be nervous."
Changle immediately knelt down on the futon and looked up at him: "Hey, Your Majesty, please speak. I am listening."
The boy blinked and looked down at him.
The corners of her lips softened as she said, "You have been taking care of me since I was three years old. I never thought that fifteen years have passed in a flash."
Speaking of the emperor's childhood, Changle's eyebrows curved up: "Yes. That year, I was only seven years old. The late emperor went to the palace and said that I was smart, so he picked me."
The master and servant met for the first time in the Queen Mother's courtyard.
It was also an April day, and the palace was full of flowers. Changle had just been sent to the palace by her parents and had been learning etiquette in the palace. She had never thought that the first time she left the palace, she would go to the Queen Mother's Fengxi Palace.
At that time, Duan Changchuan was still a little kid, wearing bright yellow clothes, standing on the high stone steps.
She is as beautiful as a piece of jade and looks like a little boy who has strayed into the mortal world.
"What's your name? How should I address you?"
The little milk ball asked.
Although he is only three years old, he already has the noble air of a royal family.
At that time, the late emperor was on the right and the empress dowager was on the left, holding the little girl firmly in the middle. So many people were looking at him, but he only had eyes for the little person standing in the middle.
He had never seen such a beautiful little doll with such delicate features.
"Your Highness, I didn't have a name before, so I gave myself a name, Xiao Le He. Your Highness can call me Xiao Le Er."
When the little boy heard the reply, he first frowned, then said out of loyalty: "You were personally chosen by my father, you are my person. If you call yourself such a self-deprecating name, if others call you like this in the future, wouldn't it be belittling me? No, no! Um... since your name is Le, why don't you call yourself Chang Le from now on?"
After saying that, he patted his chest proudly and said, "Don't worry, you will be happy forever if you follow me."
From then on, he had an official name, "Changle".
This was also the promise his Royal Highness the Crown Prince made to him.
"Changle, I've been thankful for your care over the years... You have always been the person I trust the most."
The boy's voice interrupted my thoughts...
Changle looked up and saw the young emperor looking at him quietly.
Between the eyebrows that have grown, the delicate and exquisite figure of the past can still be vaguely seen.
He is still as handsome as he was when he was a child, handsomer than anyone in the world.
The young eunuch blinked his eyes, immediately stood up again, and knelt down respectfully in front of him again.
He nodded his forehead to the ground and said, "Your Majesty... If you have any orders for me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation. My life is your Majesty's life."
However... After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear any further instructions.
He looked up blankly... and just in time, he met the boy's slightly frowned brows, as if... he was feeling upset
"Well... I don't want to go through fire and water..."
When I opened my mouth, I was still a little shy.
"ah?"
Changle was a little confused.
"It's just some of my personal problems... I'll need you to take care of me in every aspect in the future, so I thought it would be better to tell you first."
Changle: “… ?”
Duan Changchuan: "Um... I'm pregnant..."
The little eunuch almost jumped up on the spot: "What?"
"I am pregnant... Aunt Feng Xian diagnosed me. Doctor Fang should know it too, but he never told me. He left the palace this time to find Senior Huang to come back and see me."
The voice fell...
The young eunuch, who had previously looked so righteous, duty-bound, and heroic, suddenly had his eyes wide open in surprise and then turned red.
Tears fell down like crazy.
"Which beast did this? I'll go get him right away!"
After saying those harsh words, she began to sob again: "It's all my fault... I didn't take good care of Your Majesty, I feel guilty towards the late emperor... Doctor Fang kept telling me that Your Majesty only had a minor illness, but there were so many things to pay attention to, I was stupid, I should have thought of that at the beginning..."
Duan Changchuan was stunned, and quickly helped the man up: "No, I didn't expect it myself... How could you have expected it?"
The young eunuch sniffed: "I should ask Doctor Fang again..."
-
When Bai Su finished taking a bath and walked in, what she saw was this scene of deep affection between master and servant.
"What's wrong? I just took a shower. What happened?"
She quickly walked over and sat next to her Omega. She leaned close to him and naturally took his hand.
The eunuch below hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeves, sniffed, and started to lie: "Nothing happened... I don't know what happened just now, but suddenly my eyes went dark and I couldn't see anything. I thought I would never be able to serve Your Majesty again, so I was scared and cried. Now I'm fine... I was really scared to death just now."
As he spoke, he was also suppressing his sobs.
Well, a nearly perfect performance.
It’s almost perfect because…
A performance worthy of an Oscar winner, and the words of the young man in the audience, "I told him that I was pregnant, and he cried like this"... It was completely shattered.
Changle: ? ? !
He said in a panic: "Your Majesty!"
There is no doubt that if he hadn't taken into account the master-servant relationship, he would have come over and covered his mouth.
[Is it really okay to keep such a big secret and make such a big fuss about it?]
However, the young man ignored him and continued to talk to the person beside him: "He said he would kill that beast for me."
Bai Su: …
"I didn't tell him that the child is yours."
Changle Geng:
The young eunuch was about to cry, "Your Majesty, are you telling the truth or are you just kidding me... Please tell me the truth..."
Bai Su was helpless. She pinched the boy's soft hand and sighed, "You are very happy now, right?"
The child immediately pulled his hand back and sat up straight: "I didn't."
Bai Su: …
OK, got it, you are indeed a little happy.
I could only take over the topic and explain to the helpless eunuch: "Your Majesty is indeed pregnant, more than two months, the child is indeed mine, but I did not force him."
The young eunuch had an expression that said "Do I look like a fool to you?"
Bai Su: "He doesn't believe it."
Duan Changchuan: "Don't look at me. I just told him, but he didn't believe it."
Changle was about to cry again: "I believe it... I believe it! Whatever your majesty says is what it is. What your majesty says must be right!"
Bai Su: …
Why do I always feel like I’m forcing the little white flower
Should she take off her clothes now and show him her worth
Turning around, I saw the little one at home, with the corners of his lips twisted and raised, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to hold back his laughter.
She almost forgot that this guy in her family is a little fox in rabbit skin, with so much evil in his little belly.
He immediately turned around, and while the little guy wasn't paying attention, he pushed the guy back with one arm and pressed him down onto the couch.
She hooked her fingertips under his chin, forcing him to look up at her: "Your Majesty, why don't you come with me and perform a live spring palace for Eunuch Le? When he sees it with his own eyes, he will definitely believe it. What do you think, huh? My Majesty."
As she said that, she started tickling him again.
"You...haha...let me go!"
"If you don't let me go, Your Majesty will punish me."
Duan Changchuan was pinned down and unable to move. He originally wanted to block with his arms, but the woman simply straddled him and locked both of his arms with one hand, pressing them to the top of his head.
Duan Changchuan:!!!
How can you tickle someone like this? You can't dodge it! It's just cheating!
So, the giggling boy started begging for mercy before even a minute had passed: "Stop tickling, let me go... Bai Su... Haha... I'm so itchy, ha... It's so uncomfortable..."
"Are you still naughty? Are you still naughty? Huh?"
The woman slowed down, but continued to touch him all over.
He quickly shook his head and begged for mercy: "No... Please let Zhen go..."
When I was speaking, I was suddenly touched in a place that shouldn't be touched, and the tone of the voice I shouted suddenly changed.
Suddenly, both of them were stunned.
After looking at each other for a moment, they simultaneously looked away.
Awkwardness spread in the silent air.
"Hey, why don't you get up quickly... Are you still waiting for someone to carry you?"
The boy said in a muffled voice.
Then, he raised his hand and pushed her shoulder.
Only then did Bai Su get off the young man and pull him up.
“… Maybe you don’t remember, but this isn’t the first time I’ve touched you.”
The young man's body suddenly stiffened.
Then he rolled his watery eyes at her.
"Next time I'll have your hands chopped off."
Alpha quickly shut up.
cough…
Oops, I pissed people off.
-
Bai Su coaxed her Omega for a while, made sure there was nothing else, and went back to dry her hair.
So, Duan Changchuan and Changle were left in the study.
The boy straightened his messy clothes and looked at the back of the Alpha as he left. When he knew he was out of sight, he lowered his head to look at his belly and said, "What I said is true. It may be hard to accept, but... there is indeed a baby in my belly."
"Is it... the Queen's?"
Changle asked.
The young man nodded: "Yes... it's hers, and I have never slept with anyone else."
"But the queen just said that it has been more than two months, so that means..."
Doesn't that mean, before the wedding...
The boy continued to nod: "Yeah, yes."
Then, the young eunuch's eyes were visibly red again. He even spoke with a crying tone: "Your Majesty... Please tell me the truth. Did some unfaithful man... ruin you? The Queen... She is a woman. Even if there are many strange things in the world, she can't make a man pregnant? I tell you from the bottom of my heart that I can believe what you say. I can believe anything. But people outside, they won't believe it..."
Duan Changchuan looked at the little eunuch who was about to cover his sleeves and cry again:…
Why didn’t I realize before that Changle has such a big imagination…
Do I really have to perform a live sex show for him to believe
I want to say: Since it’s so difficult, why don’t you just not believe it
But before he could finish his words, he heard the other party crying, "I knew that you had a reason for asking me for the arsenic... It's all my fault. I shouldn't have listened to your majesty in everything... If I had asked you a question, your majesty wouldn't have suffered for so long... It's my fault, it's my fault!"
As he said this, he actually started slapping his own mouth.
Duan Changchuan:!!!
Seeing that the joke was getting a bit too far, the boy finally panicked.
He quickly went down to persuade the man, "You... don't cry first, it's really not what you think, I haven't been abused! And... why is there arsenic? When did I ask you for the arsenic? I don't remember it at all."
Changle was also stunned when he said this: "Just two days before the wedding, you suddenly asked me to prepare some arsenic, and didn't let me tell anyone. I went out of the palace in disguise and found it for you... Don't you remember? At that time, I put it... put it..."
As he spoke, his eyes began to search around the study.
Finally, his eyes locked onto a corner.
"Oh yeah! It's in the little drawer at the bottom of the cabinet!"
The boy frowned and looked in the direction of his finger.
It is a cabinet located in a remote corner, usually used to store miscellaneous items.
There was indeed a small drawer under the cabinet, but he had no recollection of ever putting anything in it.
"I asked you to prepare arsenic and told you not to tell anyone. It should be a very secret thing, so why is it placed in such an unprotected place? There's not even a lock on this drawer..."
Duan Changchuan said this and walked over suspiciously.
Then with a "bang", the drawer was opened.
The wooden drawer had not been used for a long time, and even raised a light dust when it was opened.
And the moment the drawer was opened...
A small brown bag was lying right in the middle.
"That's it!" Changle said, carefully taking out the small packet of paper. "The arsenic you asked me to prepare was just this small packet! If you don't believe me, take it to the imperial physician for inspection, and you'll know I'm not lying!"
He weighed it in his hand, then looked puzzled: "Hmm?"
"What's wrong?" Duan Changchuan asked.
Changle placed the small package in his palm and examined it carefully, puzzled: "This package of arsenic... seems to be lighter than when I took it before..."
