Yan Xuan laughed and rolled off her, slowly massaging one of her legs. “Considering how hard you’ve worked, I’ll let you off today, but I’ll make up for it double tomorrow.”
“Double?” Ruan Ning asked, breathing sharply. “Yan Xuan, are you sure you’re not trying some kind of yin-yang supplementation?”
Yan Xuan burst out laughing. “Supplementation techniques require different virgins, and you’re not one.”
Ruan Ning kicked him hard on the thigh.
Yan Xuan covered himself and rolled away, gasping, “Ning Ning, you’re trying to murder your husband!”
Ruan Ning suddenly froze, remembering the task’s condition: make him die for you. Her expression slowly changed.
“Ning Ning, what’s wrong?” Yan Xuan quickly noticed her unusual state and embraced her.
“Nothing,” Ruan Ning suppressed her unease, nestling into his chest and listening to his heartbeat. “A Mo, I hope we can be together forever.”
She called him A Mo only when deeply emotional. Yan Xuan gently stroked her hair, saying, “We will, we’ll always be together.” No one could separate them.
The bedroom was in disarray, with cat paw prints everywhere. Ruan Ning followed the scattered objects and found a pufferfish in the garden and another by the pond. In front of her was a vast bamboo forest. She entered with two palace maids from Chen Kingdom. Suddenly, one maid fell, and the other whispered, “Princess, General Sui has ordered me to escort you.”
Author’s note: The finale will be released tomorrow, a very fat chapter, extremely fat!
Chapter 61: Substitute White Moonlight
Ruan Ning was shocked.
Normally, Yan Xuan was always on guard. The palace maids and eunuchs in Qi Xia Palace were carefully screened. But who could have imagined there was a piece of Sui Huan’s chess among those she brought from Chen Kingdom?
The palace maid, though using humble words, spoke authoritatively and pushed Ruan Ning deeper into the bamboo forest. Gagged and unable to call for help, Ruan Ning pretended to twist her ankle and stumbled toward a nearby stone sculpture, grabbing it to strike the maid. The maid, caught off guard, was hit on the leg, which hindered her agility. Seizing the moment, Ruan Ning tore off the cloth from her mouth and shouted, “Help!”
“Princess,” the green-clothed palace maid who had previously been knocked down struggled to her feet, still injured. “I am here.”
