Chapter 124 Seeing an Erotic Show at Taizi’s [2]
In her previous life, she was bullied and humiliated by Zhao HongXiang and Yu Lanxuan to such a state, but Mu YingRui and w.a.n.g Yiping still treated them like guests. Then, was there any collusion among them?
For a moment, Zi You had many questions in her mind. She said to Shangguan LingRan, “I cannot stay out of this matter. Like you said, Zhao HongXiang and Shangguan Lingluo are Taizi’s people. But Shangguan Lingluo wants to kill me and Zhao HongXiang wants to marry me. Isn’t this contradictory? Shangguan Lingluo should get along very well with me if she wants to pull my grandfather to Taizi’s camp, but why does she make things difficult for me? Or does Taizi want to attack the problem from two sides? If he can’t rope in the General’s Manor, then he would eliminate us?”
“You’ve finally learned some intelligence from your husband, me, and know how to ponder.” Shangguan LingRan looked at Zi You and smiled devilishly charmingly. Even if Zi You was not moved by male beauty, her heart skipped a beat.
Zi You hurriedly recovered her senses. “I’m speaking about serious matters with you. Can you not talk to me like that? Shangguan LingRan, if you keep being like this, I will never pay attention to you again!”
Shangguan LingRan not only did not get angry, but smiled deeper. “Do you dare to leave the fu with me and go see an erotic show?”
Zi You angrily sent a kick over. “Scram! I will never……”
Her words weren’t finished, but her feet landed in Shangguan LingRan’s hands.
Since it was the end of autumn and closer to winter, Zi You was wearing a pair of white satin bamboo-embroidered brocade boots.
But even wearing her boots, her exquisite jade-like foot in Shangguan LingRan’s hand was not as big as his palm.
Shangguan LingRan exclaimed, “How come you women’s feet are so small?”
Zi You was very bashful and reprimanded, “Lecher! Hurry up and let go. Don’t use that hand that touched who-knows-how-many women to touch me!”
Shangguan LingRan was obviously angry to hear her say that. The smile on his face became particularly cold.
He contemptuously said, “Those dirty women. Don’t talk about their feet, but even a trace of their clothing, this Shizi Ye is too disgusted to even touch.”
Then he smiled and said, “From You’er’s words, it sounds like you’re jealous. Haha…… Ye is very happy. However, You’er can rest a.s.sured. Other than you, Ye thinks all other women are unclean. Let’s go. Ye will take you to see a show.”
He reached around Zi You’s waist, wrapped her in his sable cloak, and flew out.
Zi You also understood this person’s character now. He was someone who didn’t take things seriously.
She couldn’t beat him or win over him with words. Her skin was also not as thick as his. She thought about it and didn’t say anything and went with him.
But she wasn’t worried. Her intuition told her that this fellow wouldn’t harm her.
Zi You did not expect, however, that the place Shangguan LingRan brought her to was Taizi’s living quarters, the Eastern Palace.
Shangguan LingRan obviously came here often. While they were flying on rooftops, he pointed things out to her. “That’s Taizifei’s courtyard. That’s Taizi Cefei Nee An’s courtyard. The biggest place in the middle is Taizi’s usual place for rest. It’s also the most dangerous. There are at least three secret guards standing watch. There are more than ten highly-skilled experts among the guards.”
Zi You quietly interrupted him. “Can it be that the show you spoke of is in Taizi’s courtyard? Since you know there are that many experts, how can we not be discovered by the experts and see an exciting…… show?”
Shangguan LingRan’s nice-looking eyes were as bright as stars under the moonlight. He jokingly smiled, “Don’t you have hallucinogen? Use it on them and we can see an erotic show.”
Zi You viciously glared at him. “So you brought me here to help you out.”
Shangguan LingRan shrugged shamelessly. “I provide the entertainment and expended effort to bring you here. You have to do at least a little bit, right?”
“Did I tell you to bring me here?” Zi You roared quietly.
She discovered that this Shangguan LingRan had the ability to make her hop with rage.
Shangguan LingRan shook his head in grievance. He pouted his nice-looking lips and acted spoiled. “I want to take you here and be with you for longer. I don’t know if I can even see you if you go to the mountains.”
Zi You rolled her eyes and asked unpleasantly, “Then how did you take care of them when you came to watch the show before? Don’t tell me that you’ve never been here before. I can tell that you’re familiar with the road; even more familiar than your own house.”
“Killed them,” Shangguan LingRan replied very simply. “I don’t have powerful hallucinogens like you, so I could only kill them. Although I would get bruised, I still took care of them. Why don’t you wait for me here? I’ll take care of them. Then I will take you to see the show.”
Shangguan LingRan was going to move, but was stopped by Zi You. If he really got injured, she would have to treat him, so why bother?
Although he might not have been necessarily telling the truth, she knew that secret guards’ martial arts truly were not ordinary.
She didn’t know why, but she didn’t want him to get injured.
Zi You handed a porcelain bottle and bamboo tube to Shangguan LingRan. She softly said, “It will take effect within fifty meters. Be careful that you don’t breathe it into your lungs. I can’t move you if you’re unconscious.”
Shangguan LingRan smiled more brilliantly than fireworks. He flew out like a nightingale.
After a while, he came back clapping his hands. He said excitedly, “What hallucinogen is so powerful? I didn’t even count to ten before they all fell down. Give me the rest of it. Let’s go.”
Zi You shook her head. “Wait a moment. Wait for the scent to disperse. Otherwise, it will still affect us.”
She unceremoniously stuck out her hand. “Give me the hallucinogen.”
Shangguan LingRan looked resentfully at Zi You. “You have the heart to see me being a ma.s.s of bruises every time?”
Zi You was not the slightest bit moved. She ridiculed, “You won’t get hurt if you don’t come here to watch the show.”
“If I don’t watch the show, then I wouldn’t have known that you were getting attacked in the mountain last time.” Shangguan LingRan huffily glanced at her.
Only his eyes were better-looking than a woman’s. This glance made him seem more devilishly charming and enchanting.
Zi You secretly scolded: Evildoer! How can a man be more pretty and flirtatious than a woman? No wonder those women still desperately want to marry him even if they know that he’s a dandy.
Zi You no longer insisted on taking that porcelain bottle back. She knew that Shangguan LingRan wouldn’t be willing to stay away from here. So why should she waste time with him?
It was just a bottle of hallucinogen. It was a small matter to her.
She also especially did not want to offend this pestilence G.o.d right now. Taizi and Third w.a.n.gzi were already at odds with her. If she also offended this wicked Heartless Gongzi, she wouldn’t be able to cope.
“We can go down now,” Zi You changed the topic.
Shangguan LingRan saw that she no longer insisted on having that bottle back and revealed a smile that could confuse all living beings. He grabbed her waist and flew to another rooftop.
“Be careful you don’t slide down.” Shangguan LingRan put Zi You down and whispered a caution.
He then bent down and removed three brick tiles from the roof. He took a look and beckoned Zi You over. “Come over and see.”
Zi You was light as a swan as she glided over to Shangguan LingRan. She bent down and looked through the hole in the roof……
This look made her extremely angry.
It turned out that this was Taizi’s living quarters. He was pressing a woman down and making those shameless movements.
This lecher really had unique taste. He risked his life just to see how Taizi fooled around with his woman. When he said that he was taking her to see an erotic show, she thought that he was playing with her. She didn’t think that he was for real.
Zi You was so angry that she hated she couldn’t kick this pervert to death. But she was afraid that if she kicked him down, that would attract Taizi fu’s other guards.
Thus, she twisted Shangguan LingRan’s arm hard. She scolded, “You lecher! You shameless perverted……”
[Guess why Shangguan LingRan took Zi You to see an erotic show!]
She hadn’t finished telling him off, but her mouth was covered by Shangguan LingRan. “Keep your voice down. The guards are unconscious, but there is a roomful of watchdogs in the room. You’ll see whether I’m perverted or Taizi is perverted.”
Zi You slapped Shangguan LingRan’s hand away and said huffily, “The imperial family is nothing good!”
Shangguan LingRan did not get angry and even nodded in agreement. “You’re right. There are no good people in the imperial family. The good people are dead.”
After he finished speaking these words, Shangguan LingRan sat down. His expression became very cold and lonely.
Zi You thought of his difficulties and couldn’t bear to scold him anymore. But she also did not want to comfort him.
Whether Shangguan LingRan’s feelings for her were true or false, she didn’t want to respond. So, it was better not to give him hope.
Thus, for some time, one person was standing and one person was sitting in a strange silence.
After a few minutes, it was Shangguan LingRan who broke the silence. “You’re such a cruel yatou! I’m so sad and you don’t even comfort me.”
Zi You looked coldly at him. “No. There are countless close female confidants around Shizi Ye. Go find them.”
“Are you jealous?” Shangguan LingRan asked excitedly. “If you tell me that you’re jealous, I will ignore them right away.”
“What does that have to do with me?” Zi You’s expression was still cold. “Shangguan LingRan, I came with you to see a show tonight because we have a common enemy: Taizi. I want to know why on one hand, he’s ruining my reputation to force me to marry him, but on the other hand, sends Shangguan Lingluo to kill me. That’s why I came here with you. It doesn’t mean that I have any other interest in you. You better figure it out. It’s good if you’re willing to cooperate, but I won’t force it if you don’t want to.”
Shangguan LingRan’s heart pained. He wanted to argue with her, but knew that this was not the appropriate time or place to explore their feelings.
