Chapter 2: Late Night Ambiguity (Part 1)
Tang Xuan walked straight into the palace, and the woman along with the palace servants followed him inside. The maidservants attended to Tang Xuan's bathing and changing of clothes, then withdrew one by one, leaving only the woman to guard by the bedside. At this moment, Tang Xuan was perhaps tired, and he fell asleep immediately. It was unclear how much time had passed when Tang Xuan awoke to find the woman still sitting by the bedside, nodding silently, as if lost in some thoughts.
The woman angrily said: "What do you mean by ripe? You foolish monarch, death is upon you, and yet you can still laugh!" She then said to the concubine: "Sister, step aside! Let me kill this foolish monarch, and then we can escape the palace."
Tang Xuan waved his hand generously and said, "It’s alright! You don’t need to explain! I can understand." He then sighed heavily and continued, "My beloved, after you marry that man, do come to the palace whenever you have the time. Even if we cannot be husband and wife, we can still be siblings!" Yet, in his heart, he insidiously thought, "As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate! Your lover has put a green hat on me. Once I recover, I will trick you into the palace and then put that green hat back on your husband. Heh heh! Just thinking about it is thrilling!"
At that moment, a cold, emotionless female voice came through: "Let me tell you! In fact, I am going to kill you here!"
The consort suddenly positioned herself in front of Tang Xuan, and the young lady, fearing for her safety, quickly withdrew her treasured sword and said angrily: "Sister! This dog emperor has caused the death of our parents. Why won't you let me kill him https://www.hetushu.com.com?"
Tang Xuan was feeling quite gloomy, so he said, "Whatever!" The old eunuch sighed and led Tang Xuan to set off, heading south. After passing through several gardens, they stopped at the entrance of a palace. When Tang Xuan looked up, he realized it was the Yu Ling Palace! The old eunuch had a good voice, shouting that the Emperor had arrived, and his voice could be heard clearly for hundreds of yards! This startled the night birds in the garden, causing them to fly about in a panic. The people of Yu Ling Palace hurriedly came out to greet him, all bowing down. Leading them was a woman with her hair styled high, appearing to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, with a lovely fair face, willow-like brows, and apricot-shaped eyes, her head lowered in shyness. Tang Xuan sighed inwardly, "Another exquisite beauty being wasted! But on the other hand, this little foolish monarch had quite an eye for beauty in the past! The concubines he chose are exactly to my taste! I guess I have some connection with him! I must work hard to complete the tasks that little brat left unfinished!"
Ah?" Tang Xuan was instantly dumbfounded. As soon as the woman's voice fell, she flew down from the roof, light as a butterfly. Upon closer inspection, Tang Xuan realized she was a girl who appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old! She wore a light red dress, complemented by a small orange jacket, looking petite and exquisite, charming and graceful.
The woman lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, yet she remained silent. Emperor Tang Xuan, in a state of urgency, said, "My beloved, please do not cry. Regardless of the circumstances, you are still my woman. Whatever the matter is, I will take responsibility for you!" Emperor Tang Xuan patted his empty chest to assure her.
Tang Xuan looked at the roof, which was about three zhang high, feeling somewhat incredulous that she could jump down from there! The young lady, with a gleaming sword in hand, was pointing it at him, making Tang Xuan feel extremely uncomfortable
The woman said softly, "Your Majesty, I... I am sorry! I know... I cannot escape the death penalty! I am willing to die! It is just..." Tang Xuan was left in confusion and hurriedly said, "What are you talking about death for? Just tell me, whatever crime it is, I will pardon you! Is that acceptable?" Seeing that she still remained silent, Tang Xuan secretly thought it was not good! He cautiously asked, "You wouldn't... really... have someone you care for, would you? Ah! Rest assured, I am very open-minded. If you two truly love each other, I will support you!" Tang Xuan said with a hint of jealousy, thinking to himself, with my looks, who wouldn't want to steal a man? Not to mention, she is a delicate and beautiful woman.
The woman, both embarrassed and anxious, shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood! In fact... it is..."
The woman was momentarily taken aback, her face suddenly flushed with embarrassment, and she shyly said: "Your Majesty... you... you have misunderstood... the crime I have committed..."
The woman came to her senses and softly said, "Your Majesty, you are awake!" Her voice was like that of a nightingale, exceedingly pleasant to hear. Tang Xuan felt a sense of lightness and gently asked, "I see you are still awake at such a late hour; do you have something on your mind? Speak up so that I may help you come up with some ideas!"
Little sister, don't!
The concubine's expression was one of deep sorrow, yet she did not step aside, only saying: "Younger sister, if you truly wish to kill him, then you might as well kill me too!" The woman retorted: "Sister, how can you be so foolish? Shouldn't we avenge our kin?" The concubine replied softly: "But he is the Emperor. If you kill him, the world will descend into chaos! When war breaks out, who knows how many innocent people will suffer! Over these past two years, sister, I have thought a lot! Although he is a foolish ruler, only indulging in pleasure and neglecting state affairs, at least he is not cruel! If he dies and is replaced by a tyrant, wouldn't the common people suffer even more?"
On a pavilion of the palace at night, Tang Xuanguang, bare-bottomed, spoke to the moon, engaging in a monologue. After rambling for quite some time, even the moon hid behind the clouds. Tang Xuanguang couldn't help but be speechless: "So it turns out my little earthworm brother can also eclipse the moon and shy away from flowers!"
Tang Xuan smiled awkwardly and said, "I apologize! I startled my sister-in-law! To be honest, I was also taken aback the first time I saw it... However, it... it... really can still be used! If you don't believe me, ask your sister... Oh dear..."
Hey! You scoundrel! If you don't show some backbone, I'll take you out once and for all, so I won't have to overthink things! Tell me, are you going to man up or not! I'm really going to cut you, aren't you afraid?
During his time at the military academy, Tang Xuan had also practiced combat. However, with this new physique, he found himself lacking in strength. Seeing that this sword strike was indeed difficult to defend against and realizing that all his escape routes were completely blocked, he made a decisive choice and swiftly removed his pants
Little brother, these ginseng, shark fins, bird's nests, bear paws, and tiger penises are all highly nourishing items! They are natural green foods, completely free of pollution, and will be most beneficial for you! I, as your elder brother, will consume them all, and you must strive to grow strong and robust! The three thousand beauties of the harem are still waiting for us brothers to conquer them!
"Foolish monarch! Go to hell!" The young lady exclaimed lightly, leaping into the air and swiftly launching an attack. Tang Xuan sensed the impending danger and hurriedly raised the quilt to shield himself, rolling to the side in the process
So it turns out it's the younger sister-in-law who has come! Sneaking around at this late hour to watch your sister and brother-in-law, this habit is not good!" Tang Xuan, having just calmed down from his shock, said with a smile. While leering at places he shouldn't be looking, he nodded slightly and clicked his tongue, saying, "Hmm, not bad, not bad, quite ripe!"
Ah... you... you are shameless! Indeed, that woman only took a glance and was so frightened that she screamed in shock, turning her face away, covering her face with both hands, not daring to look at Tang Xuan, and naturally withdrew her sword move.
Is this young lady perhaps experiencing youthful infatuation? Suddenly, a thought arose in Tang Xuan's mind. He lecherously grasped her jade-like arm and gently caressed it, saying: "My beloved, what are you thinking about?"
Little Brother Earthworm, look, how beautiful the moonlight is tonight at https://mhetushu.com! The gentle breeze is intoxicating, and the night is enchanting! Should we find the ladies and have some fun?
Younger brother, are you feeling alright? Is this how you behave as someone's younger brother? I've been calling you for a long time, and you haven't responded? Can I ask you nicely? Can I call you older brother? Older brother, rise to the occasion! My happiness below depends entirely on you! Wuwu!
Emperor Tang Xuan descended the stairs, and the old eunuch, along with a group of palace maids, hurriedly knelt down to greet him. The old eunuch inquired, "Your Majesty, where will you rest tonight?"
The woman, having missed her two strikes, became even more furious. With a flourish of her sword, she moved like a bird diving into the forest, charging towards Tang Xuan. The cold light glimmered ominously on her precious sword, indicating her determination to strike Tang Xuan down with a single blow.
Ah! Forget it, you are indeed formidable! Rest in peace! I have tried both coercion and temptation, yet you still ignore your elder brother! But rest assured, elder brother will definitely bring you back to life! Little brother, elder brother will not abandon you. After all, you are the only little brother I have!
The woman flicked her sword, instantly sealing her sister's acupoint, and resolutely said: "Sister, please endure for a moment. I..." Suddenly, she exclaimed: "Tyrant, where are you running?" It turned out that Tang Xuan had attempted to slip away while they were conversing! The woman twisted her delicate body and leaped over. This time, there was no concubine to obstruct her, and Tang Xuan felt the chill of the sword more acutely, unable to suppress a shiver. In a moment of crisis, he threw the blanket at the woman, and as she used her sword to lift the blanket, he rolled away, narrowly escaping another strike.
