late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 7
Nov. 1861, 9

It turned out that I was thinking too much.

Mei Shuang was really just given to me by Lan Er, asking her to warm || my bed.

Because we just came back last night, Mei Shuang couldn't wait to climb onto my bed, like a woman who has been hungry for a long time.

If this is put into modern times, it should be regarded as bribery.

I know that Mei Shuang is following Lan'er's orders, but I really can't accept such a simple and rough sex with her without any emotional basis.

So, I politely rejected her.

To Mei Shuang, my refusal was like getting an order. She was indescribably happy, even if she didn't laugh out loud, I could still see it.

She is very happy, for this reason, she does her best to serve me, even such trivial things as wiping my face are all done by her.

I have to say that I miss my toothbrush a little bit. After all, I am surrounded by a woman every day, and I still want to maintain my masculine demeanor.

In the past two days, Sushun didn't look for me anymore, and I didn't go out, because I knew that as soon as I went out, there would be countless sharp knives outside, directly reaching my throat, and then killing me with one knife.

However, I dare not refuse to do the shaman matter, after all, it was ordered by Sushun himself.

Tangled, tormented, these two days, I have been thinking about it, and I can't think of any way to resolve it.

So, no matter what, I have to go out tomorrow, even if I die, I have to make a breakthrough. After all, if I don't act tomorrow, Sushun will probably punish me.

"Master Tang, are you going out tomorrow?"

Mei Shuang walked up to me silently, and suddenly spoke.

I have to say that although her voice is very gentle, it still really startled me.

"I said Mei Shuang, you make no sound when you walk, you scared me to death."

I rubbed my chest, and blamed me a little scared.

After hearing my words, Mei Shuang immediately knelt down, "My lord, forgive me, Mei Shuang didn't mean to scare you."

"Get up, don't just kneel down, I'm not used to this."

I helped Mei Shuang up. In fact, this girl is quite dexterous. I also like her very much. She is diligent and sensible.

"Master Tang, the queen mother said that at this time, Prince Gong should have arrived in Rehe."

Mei Shuang spoke casually while tidying up the table next to her.

"Since you're here, why don't you come to see the Queen Mother?"

I don't know Mei Shuang's purpose for saying this, but as a servant, she took the initiative to talk about these taboo topics with me, so she was instructed by her master.

"Don't Master Tang know? Lord Sushun doesn't want Prince Gong to attend the funeral, and now there are people from Sushun inside and outside the Li Palace, even if Prince Gong comes, he won't be able to come in at all."

"Oh."

I responded and said nothing more.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Mei Shuang walked up to me with small steps.

"Master Tang, let me wait for you to rest, it's getting late."

As Mei Shuang said, she had already started to help me undress, I took a step back and looked at her very seriously.

"What's your master's purpose, just tell me straight up, don't give me sugar-coated bullets."

Seeing my firm attitude, Mei Shuang suddenly knelt down on the ground, "Master Tang, please save the queen mother, save the emperor, and save the century-old foundation of the Qing Dynasty!"

"How? What do you want me to do?"

I'm only now quite sure that Lan'er gave me Meishuang because she definitely had other plans.

I suddenly found that no matter what Lan Er did or said, she seemed to have a certain purpose. This woman is really too smart, so smart that it makes my hair stand on end.
