Chapter 2: Late Night Ambiguity (Part 2)

The guards surrounding the palace privately wondered, "Has the Emperor taken some invigorating medicine again tonight? He seems quite spirited!"

Secondly, I can understand your desire for revenge on behalf of your kin. However, revenge can be taken slowly; there is no need to rush. We will meet again in the future, and you can certainly torment me first! It would be best... it would be best... for you to use both physical and emotional torment on me, allowing me to suffer immensely! Let me experience the feeling of falling from heaven to hell! However, at this moment, he dared not make such a joke!

The young woman coldly said: "If I cannot escape, I will fight my way out with my sister. At worst, it will be death! As long as I can kill you, the tyrant, and avenge my kin! Yan'er will die without regrets!"

The young woman turned her face away from him, both shy and angry, and said: "You... you shameless... quickly put your clothes on"

Tang Xuan smiled and said, "Alright! Finally dressed up!"

So your name is Yan'er? That name is rather ordinary! However, it does show a lot of spirit, facing death without fear, truly a heroine among women! In any case, it is much better than mine! But then again, this young lady has never faced death, so she doesn't know what it feels like, of course she isn't afraid of it! When I died for the first time, wasn't I just foolishly hanging on? It seems I need to enlighten her a bit more!

The woman breathed heavily and said sharply, "Don't come any closer! I don't need your help!" Tang Xuan responded with a sound, as if in agreement, thinking to himself, you have a sword in your hand, even if you tell me to come over, I won't go! But this is not a solution either. Am I, a distinguished graduate of a military academy, really supposed to survive by being completely exposed? Absolutely not! A soldier may be killed, but he must not be humiliated! Am I, a distinguished graduate of a military academy, really supposed to survive by being completely exposed? Absolutely not! A soldier may be killed, but he must not be humiliated!

Upon seeing this, Tang Xuan was also greatly astonished and said meaningfully, "No way? So soon?" Just as he was about to comfort her with a few words, a sudden commotion erupted outside, with people surging in and torches illuminating half of the palace! It seemed that the imperial guards had come to protect the emperor. The concubine and her sister both looked shocked, at a loss for what to do.

Tang Xuan smiled mysteriously and gestured again: "This is what you need to hear! First this, then that, and then that again, it’s just a matter of first deceiving and then killing, killing and then deceiving! Little sister-in-law, do you still want to hear more?"

Tang Xuan cautiously asked, "I... I have put on my clothes, so... you won't kill me now?" The young lady stamped her foot and replied, "Put them on first!" Tang Xuan responded affirmatively and bent down to put on his trousers.

Tang Xuan said, "It's nothing! You all can leave now!" Only then did those people withdraw. After a while, Tang Xuan and the two women both let out a sigh of relief. Tang Xuan looked at the woman who was bent over and vomiting, seeing her in distress, he felt a pang of sympathy. Sigh, it’s all the fault of the little earthworm! If my younger brother is at fault, as the elder brother, I must take responsibility! He gently asked, "Little sister-in-law! Are you feeling better? Do you need me to call the imperial physician to take a look?"

At this point, Tang Xuan straightened his chest, ready to deliver a grand speech about facing death with courage. However, upon glancing at the sword in the woman's hand, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise. He then thought to himself: "I, Tang Xuan, have gone through considerable trouble in the underworld! After enduring countless hardships and employing every trick in the book, including bribery and cheating, I finally managed to grasp a handle on that old cow. Through deception and intimidation, I managed to secure an opportunity for reincarnation! To die in vain like this would truly be a waste! Moreover, while a scholar may be killed, he must not be humiliated, as there are many scholars. Killing a few fools can bring some righteousness and compassion! After enduring countless hardships and employing every trick in the book, including bribery and cheating, I finally managed to grasp a handle on that old cow. Through deception and intimidation, I managed to secure an opportunity for reincarnation! To die in vain like this would truly be a waste! Moreover, while a scholar may be killed, he must not be humiliated, as there are many scholars. Killing a few fools can bring some righteousness and compassion! But I am an emperor, right? There is only one in a nation, so of course, an emperor can be humiliated but not killed! Besides, being humiliated by this beautiful sister-in-law in front of me, I wouldn't be at a loss; after all, we are family, hehe!"

Tang Xuan, seeing that the situation was still quite awkward, spoke up: "Auntie, I will put on my clothes; you really cannot kill me! Alas! I am actually doing this for your own good! Just think about it: if you kill me, can you really take your sister out of the palace?" After saying this, he truly began to put on his clothes! After all, the woman had just finished vomiting, so she would likely let him finish speaking before deciding to kill him.

"Auntie! We are all family! Let's talk things over... Why resort to violence? It only harms our relationship... Ahem, just look at how awkward things have become now!" Tang Xuan said with a forced smile, trying to probe the situation.

Ah? ... ... You ... ... you rogue ... ... shameless ... ... didn't you say you were dressed properly?" The girl was even more embarrassed and angry! This time it seemed clearer than last time! She suddenly felt nauseous, bending down as if she wanted to vomit

Tang Xuansi coughed lightly a few times, then composed himself and said: "Sister-in-law, do you really think I am someone who fears death? Everything I do is for the good of you sisters!" At this point, Tang Xuan's old face flushed, and he secretly glanced at his sister-in-law, noticing that she seemed to be listening to him. He then sighed and continued: "If I were someone who feared death, I would have let the Imperial Guards rush in just now and capture both of you. But..."

Upon seeing that my sister-in-law is still young, in the prime of her life, and that there are many joys in this world that she has yet to experience, is it not a pity that her life has been cut short in this way

Tang Xuan said with insight: "My beloved consort, little sister-in-law, do not be afraid; everything is under my control!" He then raised his voice and shouted: "Who is making such a racket outside? Disturbing my rest?"

Four, and also the most important point, sister-in-law, you certainly are not afraid of death, but do you know what fate awaits you if you fall into the hands of these imperial guards? A few days ago, I heard from the eunuchs that several middle-aged women were captured by a group of guards, and they were subjected to this, then that, and then another thing, and then this again

Tang Xuan chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, if you raise your index finger, you won't feel nauseous anymore!" This is Tang Xuan's method for stopping dizziness and nausea during military training at the naval academy

The young woman initially did not believe it, but feeling extremely nauseous, she placed the treasured sword against her finger, pressing down. A wave of pain shot straight to her heart, causing her stomach to contract, which provided some relief, and she did not vomit again. However, she still dared not look at Tang Xuan.

The people outside were initially afraid of alarming the imperial presence and facing punishment, but unexpectedly, the Emperor wished to reward them. Naturally, they were overjoyed and respectfully responded: "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Tang Xuanhe smiled and said, "Such and such things are not good! Young ladies do not like to hear them." The young lady, feeling angry, replied, "Speak quickly! I want to hear it!"

The young woman let out a cold laugh and scolded, "Have you dressed properly? Then go die!" As she spoke, she suddenly turned around and lunged forward with her sword. However, as soon as she turned, she saw Tang Xuan standing there bare-skinned, wearing a mischievous grin, one thin leg shaking slightly. It seemed to say, "Little sister-in-law! I anticipated that you would slip up! Hehe! You fell for it, didn't you!"

At that moment, the young lady turned her face and saw Tang Xuan speaking. At times, he raised his middle finger, gesturing upwards, and at other times, he struck down with his palm! After gesturing back and forth a couple of times, she was puzzled by the meaning of his gestures and asked aloud, "What do you mean by this and that? What are you doing?"

The guards outside the door were taken aback and immediately fell silent. Someone, with great boldness, replied: "Your Majesty, just now someone reported that you were attacked, so... we rushed here to protect you"

Tang Xuan was about to say: "What a load of nonsense! If it weren't for you, I would have been done for a long time!" But then he thought again: "These people rushed over in a hurry, which shows their loyalty! If I scold them this time, they won't dare to come again next time. It's better to treat them kindly!" So he burst into a hearty laugh, pretending to be very happy, and after laughing, he said aloud: "So that's how it is! Hmm! Very good! Just now, I played a game with my beloved consort to see which of the Imperial Guards is the most loyal! I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly! I am very satisfied with your performance! Go and tally up those who came to protect me tonight, and tomorrow I will reward all of you!"

Ah? You... shameless! Another round of nightingale-like screams echoed from within the palace

"San Lai, your sister has already... already... given birth to my offspring! It does not matter if you kill me, but you would be harming your sister and your nephew, which is rather unfortunate, isn't it?" As he spoke, Tang Xuan gave the consort a meaningful glance, and she, being quite clever, responded with a smile that blossomed like a hundred flowers, instantly making Tang Xuan feel weak in his bones. He cleared his throat a couple of times and continued speaking: Tang Xuan gave the consort a meaningful glance, and she, being quite clever, responded with a smile that blossomed like a hundred flowers, instantly making Tang Xuan feel weak in his bones. He cleared his throat a couple of times and continued speaking:

The young lady, upon hearing the noise, waited for a moment and then impatiently asked, "Are you dressed yet? Why so slow!"
