Chapter 759 The Princess's Marriage (3)
"Your Majesty," Xue Chanyi said coquettishly, and the two quickly got into bed.
Two palace maids entered with their heads bowed, quickly lowered the gauze curtains on the bed, and then hurried out to close the palace door.
Standing guard at the door were not only the chief eunuch of the emperor's side, but also Liuli.
Inside the bed curtains, Xuechan sat upright on the inner side of the bed, fully clothed.
She stared calmly at the outside of the bed, while Shangguan Xi, with a dazed look in his eyes, was amusing himself.
Of course, she would occasionally make some suggestive sounds to mislead those outside.
Xue Chanyi's voice was very beautiful; even a casual, soft murmur could make anyone blush and their heart race.
"Did your master specifically send you here to eavesdrop on the emperor and his concubines' intimate affairs?"
Dark Seventeen was originally covering one ear with one hand and listening to the sounds below with the other.
Suddenly, he heard someone whispering to him from the side. If the voice hadn't sounded familiar, he would have drawn his sword.
The princess of Snow Moon Kingdom, whom he had previously thought wasn't very bright, now known as Consort Yan, appeared on the rooftop at some unknown time.
Wasn't she being favored down below? How did she get up here? Dark Seventeen was a little confused.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xue Chanyi said again, "You still haven't answered my question."
Thinking of the question she had just asked, An Shiqi's lips twitched under her mask.
Unable to hold back, she asked in a low voice, "Consort Yan, how can you be so sure that my master is not the Emperor?"
If her master were the emperor, would she dare to do something so audacious when serving him in bed?
"Nonsense, if you were the emperor's man, you would have drawn your sword against me already."
If a woman whose master is sleeping suddenly runs up to the roof and talks to his bodyguard.
Anyone would immediately suspect something was wrong and would inevitably worry that something had happened to the emperor.
Upon hearing this, An Shiqi realized that his question was not very clever.
Wait a minute, this Consort Yan didn't seem very smart before, so why doesn't she seem stupid now?
He suddenly realized something, and in his surprise, he forgot to use honorifics when he spoke: "You knew all along that I was here?"
I didn't even notice her coming up.
This makes one think that with such skills, she could do whatever she wanted... such as coming and going freely in and out of the palace.
An Shiqi dared not think any further; he felt he needed time to sort out his thoughts.
Hearing his words, Xue Chanyi nodded: "Originally, I was quite magnanimous and pretended not to notice you, but I didn't expect that you would not even hide the fact that the emperor favors his concubines."
Upon hearing this, An Shiqi retorted, "I didn't see it, but I inevitably heard some sounds."
"What? Does your master also need to record how long each time the emperor is recorded?"
"How dare you, a mere concubine, speak so licentiously?"
"That's still better than you liking to eavesdrop."
An Shiqi was taken aback by what he heard; he had never met anyone like this before: "You're talking nonsense. I didn't mean to listen."
He had no idea that he was a bodyguard, and that since he was already there to monitor people, it was normal for him to overhear something.
This bodyguard is not very competent. I don't know how his master trained him. He is so impulsive. Was he just there to make up the numbers so he could do the work?
She didn't realize that it was because her unconventional actions and words had momentarily confused An Shiqi.
Xue Chanyi shook her head, deciding not to think about it anymore; what did other people's bodyguards have to do with her?
"Why are you shaking your head?" Dark Seventeen placed his hand on the knife.
This person is highly skilled in martial arts and his behavior is unpredictable. Should we make a move against him?
However, their master only ordered them to come to the inner palace to monitor the movements of the concubines, not to kill anyone.
Xue Chanyi ignored him and disappeared from the spot, returning to the bed below.
Seeing that it was almost time, she took off her clothes and threw them on the ground outside, then wrapped herself in the blanket.
Then, he used illusion magic to create some ambiguous red marks on his body, and then lay on the bed looking utterly helpless.
When Shangguan Xi opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful woman with a flushed face and weak, tears welling up in her eyes.
While he was satisfied, he also felt that the experience was quite good, and he reached out to hug Xue Chanyi again.
Xue Chanyi pretended to be shy and rolled inside to avoid the pig's trotter that was being reached out.
"Your Majesty, I really can't take it anymore. I'd like to take a bath first."
"In that case, I will spare you for now." Shangguan Xi said with a smile, then called out, "Wang De, prepare a bath."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps could be heard outside.
After waiting for a while, Liuli and the chief eunuch Wang Decai pushed open the door and entered the hall, preparing to serve the two of them to take a bath.
"Your Majesty, the water is ready," Wang De said, bowing his head.
Shangguan Xi put on a coat and stood up: "Hmm."
After saying that, he remembered his persona and looked at Liuli again: "Take good care of your lady as she goes to bathe."
"This servant obeys the decree," Liuli said respectfully.
After Shangguan Xi got out of bed, Wang De quickly helped him get dressed before the two of them went outside.
After everyone left, Xue Chanyi, with Liuli's help, put on her nightgown and went to take a bath.
When she returned after taking a shower, Shangguan Xi was already lying in bed resting with his eyes closed.
To avoid dealing with him, Xue Chanyi directly induced his sleepiness, causing him to gradually fall asleep.
On the rooftop, Dark Seventeen waited anxiously for his replacement guard to come and take over.
After he left, he used his lightness skill to head directly to the Regent's Palace outside the palace.

Regent's House
The luxurious mansion architecture showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and meticulous details of the artisans.
The courtyard is surrounded by high walls and heavily guarded, which reveals the owner's majesty and nobility.
An Shiqi rushed towards the study in the mansion. At this time, the prince should have just returned from court and was working in the study.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Lin Han, the guard standing outside.
"Guard Lin, please inform His Highness that I have something to discuss with him."
Upon hearing this, Lin Han asked, "Which area are you in charge of?"
An Shiqi looked in the direction of the palace: "The harem."
"Wait a moment." Lin Han knew that unless it was something important, the secret guards sent out would not come directly to see the prince.
So he didn't ask any more questions, turned around and knocked on the door.
After knocking twice on the door, Lin Han said, "Your Highness, the guards have something to report."
Inside the study, a young man dressed in a luxurious black robe sat upright behind his desk, his eyes lowered as he reviewed memorials.
"Let him in." The deep, cold voice carried an air of authority without being angry.
He seemed to have just finished reading a memorial to the throne; his slender fingers picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write on it.
Lin Han pushed open the door and gestured to An Shiqi: "The Prince wants you to come in."
An Shiqi walked in with his head down, and immediately knelt down to pay his respects upon entering, not daring to raise his head: "An Shiqi greets Your Highness."
"Get up. What brings you to see me?" Shangguan Xi didn't even look at him. Instead, he put down his pen and opened another memorial.
