Chapter 27: Lord Qin and Lord Shen Shared a Kiss
Qin Guiru didn't snap out of it until Xiao Yue took the Prince away.
Shen Yulou wiped his mouth; the kiss just now had been a bit passionate, and a silver thread of saliva still connected their lips.
Qin Guiru also wiped her mouth, her face turning visibly red with fury.
She gasped, covering her mouth and pointing at Shen Yulou as she cursed.
"You lecher! What did you do to me!"
Shen Yulou looked innocent. "The Dragon Seeking Art, didn't I just say that?"
"You lied to me! The Prince was clearly under the table, you despicable scoundrel!"
Shen Yulou said, "Lord Qin, don't talk nonsense. Did I or did I not help you find the Prince?"
"This is my ancestral secret technique, the Dragon Seeking Art. If I hadn't helped you, losing the Prince would have been a capital offense."
Qin Guiru gnashed her teeth. "Bullshit! The Prince was right under the table, why would I need you to find him?"
Shen Yulou replied, "If he was under the table, why didn't you find him then? Just tell me if my Dragon Seeking Art worked or not—did we find the Prince?"
"You clearly put him there, you shameless rogue! I'm going to find the Emperor right now to impeach you for harassing a woman!"
Shen Yulou said, "Then go ahead. Since I've already taken liberties with you, His Majesty will surely do me a favor and just decree a marriage."
"I happen to be very fond of Lord Qin. After I marry you and take you home, we'll surely share a bed several times a day to fill the house with children soon."
Qin Guiru's chest heaved violently with rage. "You, you, you... You are so shameless!!"
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Qin Guiru ran out of the Wet Nurse Department with a flushed face, her heart full of unvented fury.
It was one thing to be taken advantage of by Shen Yulou, but the key was that Xiao Yue had seen it.
If this matter got out and reached his ears, how would Qin Guiru explain it?
...
At this moment, at the Gate of Heavenly Purity, a tall and powerful guard walked over.
He took out a bag of pastries and handed it to a colleague who was on duty.
"Brother Zheng, why so polite?"
This person was an Imperial Guard, Zheng Feifan.
Zheng Feifan smiled and said,
"Let's swap shifts tonight."
The guard immediately wore a knowing look. "Brother Zheng, are you going on another date with Lord Qin tonight?"
A hint of pride appeared on Zheng Feifan's face.
"Shh, don't talk nonsense."
"Brother Zheng, I understand. Lord Qin is truly beautiful; you're really lucky. I'll definitely drink a few extra cups at your wedding! Thanks for the pastries!"
After saying that, the guard happily walked away with the pastries.
Zheng Feifan stood at the gate, straightened his clothes, and waited for Qin Guiru with an expectant look.
He and Qin Guiru were childhood sweethearts. They were now at marriageable age, and all that was left was to formally propose.
They both served in the Imperial Palace—one was an Internal Female Official and the other was a Saber-wielding Guard—making them a very good match.
Unfortunately, Qin Guiru was quite busy, so they didn't have many chances to meet in the palace. They had agreed to meet here today, and he could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.
Just then, two Palace Maids walked out, chatting as they went.
"Have you heard? Lord Shen from the Wet Nurse Department and Lord Qin have hooked up."
"Huh? Really? Didn't the Emperor refuse Lord Shen's request for a marriage decree before?"
"That was because Lord Qin said they needed to nurture their feelings more. Today I heard from someone at Fengyi Palace that Sister Xiao Yue caught them together."
"When Sister Xiao Yue went to pick up the Prince, she saw the two of them sharing a kiss. They were kissing so passionately, there was even a string of saliva."
"Holy cow! Really? They got together that fast?"
While the two Palace Maids were gossiping, Zheng Feifan's expression turned cold and dark.
"What did you two say?"
Zheng Feifan stood before the two Palace Maids with a grim face, his hand gripping his sword hilt, radiating a murderous aura.
The two Palace Maids were startled and said,
"Sir, we are from the Imperial Household Department. Here are our waist tokens; we are going out of the palace to make purchases."
Zheng Feifan said, "I'm asking you two, what did you just say! Who was Lord Qin kissing?"
The two Palace Maids looked at each other, a hint of panic in their eyes.
"We didn't say anything. You heard wrong, sir. We need to hurry with our purchases."
After saying that, the two of them hurriedly walked out of the Gate of Heavenly Purity.
Zheng Feifan's face became increasingly unsightly.
He had naturally heard clearly what the two Palace Maids had said.
The Lord Qin they spoke of was naturally his betrothed-to-be, Qin Guiru.
Although there had been no formal proposal, the two had long since privately pledged themselves to each other.
It was only because their status was too low; otherwise, they would have hoped for the Emperor to decree their marriage.
To receive a marriage decree from the Emperor would be an honor and a blessing.
But he never expected to hear such words from these Palace Maids. Finding out he was being cuckolded through gossip made Zheng Feifan fly into a rage.
After waiting for a long time, Qin Guiru finally arrived.
Upon exiting the Gate of Heavenly Purity, Qin Guiru said,
"Brother Zheng, I was delayed by some matters."
Seeing the stunningly beautiful Qin Guiru, Zheng Feifan's anger flared up uncontrollably.
"What matters delayed you? Was it kissing someone else that delayed you from seeing me?"
Qin Guiru's face turned pale.
"Brother Zheng, what do you mean by that?"
Zheng Feifan took a step forward and said,
"I want to kiss you right now."
As he spoke, Zheng Feifan grabbed Qin Guiru's shoulders and lunged to kiss her mouth.
Qin Guiru struggled desperately and shoved him away, absolutely incensed.
"What are you doing!"
Zheng Feifan sneered, "What, that guy named Shen can kiss you, but I can't? Then what am I to you?"
Qin Guiru's face darkened. It seemed that matter had indeed spread, and so quickly!
"Zheng Feifan, there was never anything official between us. Your Zheng family never proposed to me; at most, we are just ordinary friends."
"I can do whatever I want with whoever I want, and it has nothing to do with you!"
"Furthermore, I am the deputy director of the Wet Nurse Department, and you are just a guard. My rank is higher than yours. I hope you show me some respect in the future! Otherwise, if I report this to His Majesty, losing your head would be the least of your worries!"
After speaking, Qin Guiru walked back into the Gate of Heavenly Purity.
Zheng Feifan was stunned and hurriedly called out,
"Gui Ru! Gui Ru!"
He had indeed acted on impulse just now and hadn't expected Qin Guiru's reaction to be so strong!
He was the one who had been painstakingly pursuing her. It had taken so much effort for her to finally get a bit closer to him, and they were just one proposal away.
But he never expected such a thing to happen.
He was finished now!
He called out several times, but Qin Guiru walked away without looking back.
Zheng Feifan gritted his teeth hard.
Shen Yulou!
I am irreconcilable with you!
...
Kunning Palace.
Bai Yu served the Empress her breakfast and then said,
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Noble Consort has milk now."
The Empress's chopsticks dropped straight to the floor. Her face darkened as she asked,
"Is this true?"
"It should be true; it came from the people in Fengyi Palace. Now the entire Imperial Harem knows. The Noble Consort certainly wouldn't lie about this."
If it weren't true, wouldn't spreading it everywhere be like slapping her own face?
It seemed Shen Yulou had actually succeeded!
The Empress clenched her fists, a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
Shen Yulou, you chose to ignore the path to heaven and barged into the gateless hell!
