Chapter 10

The moment Mo Yunzheng reached out to push back his hair, Ye Xuwan pressed the pause button in panic. As the time and space around her stopped, Mo Yunzheng's hand stayed in the air.

Ye Xuwan took the opportunity to pull off her clothes, causing a large splash of water to hit Mo Yunzheng's face.

The next second, water splashed into the pool, instantly captivating his eyes.

Mo Yunzheng's hand holding something suddenly became empty, and everything in front of him seemed like no one had ever been there.

As he looked around, he found a light-colored embroidered handkerchief on the shore.

The pair of mandarin ducks above hold a leaf in their mouths and fly together, like a pair of beauties.

Mo Yunzheng picked up the embroidered handkerchief, and a faint scent of camellia wafted out, making him fall into silence for a moment.

Ran out of the dormitory in a panic, Ye Xuwan put her clothes on casually, and ran quietly along the path back to the room without caring about getting wet.

But when Ye Xuwan took it off, she touched her waist and found that the handkerchief she had been carrying had disappeared after unknown reasons.

When Ye Xuwan thought of this, her heart tightened, as if she had remembered something.

"It's over...didn't it fall over there in the bathtub?"

Although she was so suspicious, Ye Xuwan did not dare to step out of the house until the evening, and she was even more afraid of hearing any orders from Mo Yunzheng.

But what is coming is ultimately irresistible.

Ye Xuwan panicked all afternoon, thinking that nothing would happen by the time she rested in the evening.

But just when she was about to lie down and rest, she was suddenly called up by the chief steward to serve Mo Yunzheng to correct the memorial.

Ye Xuwan came to the study room feeling anxious all the way.

The first time I saw Mo Yunzheng, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.

"Your Highness."

"Come here and study the ink."

Ye Xuwan walked to Mo Yunzheng's side and began to study the ink, not daring to say a word during the process.

The candles in the room were brightly lit, and the warm light shone on Mo Yunzheng's handsome and cold face, giving it a slightly colder look.

"You took a bath directly in the bathtub after Gu left during the day."

Mo Yunzheng's sudden and cold words caught Ye Xuwan off guard and she almost echoed him.

Fortunately, Ye Xuwan reacted quickly. When the words came to her lips, Ye Xuwan immediately changed her words: "Of course not, that is His Highness's place. How dare a slave, an eunuch, use His Highness's things. After Your Highness left, I left immediately."

"Really, but why did I hear the guard at the door say that I never saw you coming out?"

Hearing this, Ye Xuwan moved her hands for a moment, then showed a little embarrassment on her face: "This is not... the slave fell into the pool and was soaked all over. The slave didn't want others to see him, so he sneaked out through the back window. ”

Faced with this explanation, Mo Yunzheng remained silent and did not make any answer.

Ye Xuwan breathed calmly and did not dare to make any big moves.

But until Mo Yunzheng finished correcting the memorial, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Then your Highness, please rest early and I will take my leave."

Mo Yunzheng's eyes followed the direction Ye Xuwan left, and in the darkness beside him, a secret guard quietly appeared.

"Your Highness, the handkerchief has been found. Based on the embroidery work and materials, it appears to have come from the Shangshu Mansion."

"Shang Shufu?"

The secret guard responded: "Yes, this material was gifted by His Majesty last year, and the embroidery work on the veil is a technique that only Miss Shangshufu can use."

Mo Yunzheng took out the handkerchief from under the book on the side. The candlelight illuminated the bird on the handkerchief and shone slightly.

It's so lifelike, as if it's about to fly away at any moment.

The next morning, Ye Xuwan went to help Mo Yunzheng change clothes and wash up as usual.

Only after he went to court in the morning could he have time to have breakfast.

"Little Ye Zi, the imperial concubine has summoned you, come with me." Ye Xuwan, who was eating breakfast, was stopped by a maid before she could swallow the bun in her mouth.

In line with the principle of spreading as much hatred as possible, Ye Xuwan still put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, got up and followed the maid.

The moment he stepped into Concubine Lin's chamber, a hot breath instantly swept through his body.

Ye Xuwan looked at the huge iron pot in front of her. The boiling hot oil kept making bursts of "sizzling" sounds, stimulating her whole nerves.

At this moment, Ye Xuwan felt a great sense of panic.

"The servant has seen the imperial concubine."

Ye Xuwan still saluted respectfully, but Concubine Lin took one look at her and ignored her.

It wasn't until a moment later that she finished the cup of tea in her hand and then she slowly said: "What I hate most in my life is betrayal and deception. You are amazing, you have done all of them."

Hearing this, Ye Xuwan couldn't help but breathe a little faster.

"Back to your Majesty, I don't understand this. This servant... didn't mean to deceive your Majesty."

Concubine Lin stood up and walked to Ye Xuwan, bent down, put her red lips against her ears, and spoke softly.

"Really? Now I'll ask you again, whether you choose here or the prince's place."

The warm breath blew across Ye Xuwan's ears, making her shiver.

After a moment, she raised a smile again and responded firmly: "Of course it's from your Majesty's side. I have always been your Majesty's. It's just that... I was anxious before. I was afraid that if the matter was revealed, the Emperor would Let’s operate on the slave first, so…”

"It's all a slave's confusion! Please forgive me, the noble concubine!"

Ye Xuwan's tone was sincere, showing no flaws at all.

Concubine Lin stood up and returned to her seat, with a faint smile on her face, but her voice was extremely cold.

"Since you said so, I have to verify your credibility."

The oil pan that was just standing aside was held by several guards and placed in front of Ye Xuwan. The heat radiating from the surrounding area instantly swept through Ye Xuwan's body.

She stared at the thing in front of her, and for a moment, her heart seemed to stop.

"My dear, what do you mean?"

Concubine Lin did not respond to Ye Xuwan's inquiry, but picked up the tea on the table next to her and blew on it gently.

As Concubine Lin took her first sip of tea, the maid on the side looked at the guards on the side.

The two guards stepped forward and took Ye Xuwan's hands to the oil pan.

"Wait, no!..."

Without a moment's hesitation, he directly pressed his hand into the oil pan.

Accompanied by a heartbreaking pain, the hot breath burned the entire skin, emitting an unconcealable smell.

It hurts!Why does it hurt so much!

Ye Xuwan's instinctive reaction was to run away, but when she struggled, she was firmly held down by the guards on both sides.

Under the yellow hot oil, red liquid seeped out intermittently. Ye Xuwan's sight could clearly see that the skin on her hands was festering bit by bit.

In just the blink of an eye, his hands lost all feeling.

Seeing that Ye Xuwan's consciousness had collapsed, Concubine Lin waved her hand and motioned for several people to take out Ye Xuwan's hand.

The next second, Ye Xuwan was carelessly discarded on the ground like a rag doll.

Concubine Lin stepped forward, looked at her bloody hands, and frowned slightly.

There was an uncontrollable disgusting look in his eyes.

"You little slave, how dare you dirty my eyes. I don't want to see him anymore, so I just throw him into the frying pan."
