Chapter 153 The Man Hidden in the Closet
Seeing that things were not going well, Liang Jiang glanced around and saw a cabinet against the wall. With nowhere to escape, she had no choice but to open the cabinet and crawl inside without thinking.

The wardrobe was pitch black, and Liang Jiang didn't have time to look closely. When she sat down in the wardrobe, her gasp almost escaped her throat, but was quickly covered by a large hand.

There was a person hidden in this cabinet, and it was a tall man.

In her panic, Liang Jiang stumbled into the man's arms, her back pressed against his warm chest.

His breath carried a faint scent of alcohol, which lingered in Liang Jiang's ear.

Instinctively, Liang Jiang wanted to jump out of the man's arms.

Meanwhile, the footsteps of the people outside the door had already reached the entrance of the sleeping quarters.

The man wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulled her back into his arms, and then closed the cabinet door.

Inside the cabinet, it was pitch black again, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Liang Jiang tried to resist, but the man seemed to have eyes; he grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear:
"Do you want to die?"

The door to the bedchamber was pushed open from the outside. If he went out from the closet at this moment, his identity would be exposed.

Galangal can only be temporarily abandoned.

With her back to the man, she had no idea who he was or what he looked like. She could only sense his broad chest, his open shirt, his hot skin pressed against hers, and his strong, rapid heartbeat; he must be a young man.

Considering the concubine who seemed to be sleeping in bed, and what the little eunuch had just said, could this man be so audacious as to cuckold the emperor?

So when he heard the sound of his own door opening, he was so frightened that he immediately hid in the closet, creating the current situation where the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Liang Jiang didn't dare to move at all, because the wardrobe was too cramped and had little vertical space, so the two of them could only stand very close together, their breaths audible to each other.

The man's arms were still wrapped around Liang Jiang, who nestled in his embrace. His two slender legs were wrapped around her waist, creating an indescribably ambiguous posture.

Liang Jiang tried to separate them, struggling gently. The cabinet door wasn't closed tightly to begin with, and with her movement, it opened a small crack.

The man covered her mouth even tighter, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Liang Jiang stopped struggling, but then felt that the man had taken advantage of her, so she restlessly moved her fingertips again.

His large palm enveloped my hand. His palm was calloused, firm and strong, and burning hot. He must be a trained fighter.

The man noticed the protest from her fingertips, slowly loosened his grip, no longer holding her captive, and instead pricked up his ears, paying attention to the sounds outside.

Liang Jiang thought that if he dared to take advantage of her, she would immediately turn around without hesitation and stab him in the kidneys.

Fortunately, the man did not make any excessive moves.
Neither of them dared to utter a sound, and they held their breath.

In the confined space, the sounds of heartbeats, breathing, and the sliding of the Adam's apple as the man behind her swallowed with difficulty were all filled with ambiguity, making Liang Jiang feel flustered and confused.

The man behind her also stirred restlessly, but there was nowhere to hide. Liang Jiang keenly sensed his restless movements, which burned her like a branding iron.

Her body stiffened instantly, even her breathing faltered, and then she became extremely cautious.

Hooligan, pervert!
Once I get out of here, I'll castrate you with one sword!

She was furious, but dared not make a move, clenching her teeth.

The eunuchs, carrying lanterns, went straight to the concubine's bed and pulled back the bed curtains.

Then they all froze, stunned: "Where is everyone?"

The concubine was startled awake, cried out in fright, and immediately sat bolt upright, her voice trembling: "What are you doing? Who sent you?"

The brocade quilt slipped down slightly, revealing that the concubine was clearly naked and not wearing any clothes.

The young eunuch remained calm, though he looked astonished: "Your Highness Consort Xin, this servant witnessed an assassin enter your palace just now."

"Nonsense! I've been sleeping soundly the whole time, where would an assassin come from?"

The young eunuch's eyes had been constantly scanning the room, and he spotted the wardrobe: "Perhaps the thief didn't disturb you, Consort Xin, after entering? He might be hiding in your room right now." Consort Xin retorted angrily, "What do you mean by that? Are you implying that I'm hiding a man here?"

"Whether it exists or not, just search for it and you'll know."

"How dare you! Who gave you the audacity? This is my bedroom. Do you think I wouldn't know if there are assassins here?"

I understand! No wonder I, who usually have such a high alcohol tolerance, felt dizzy and weak after only a few drinks today—someone was trying to harm me! Who ordered you to do this?

Faced with Consort Xin's questioning, the young eunuch remained unperturbed: "This concerns the safety of all the masters in the palace, and we servants dare not be negligent. We absolutely cannot let the assassin slip through our noses. Search!"

He gave the person behind him a wink, and the person immediately understood and slowly walked closer to the wardrobe.

Consort Xin, naked and wrapped in a quilt, trembled with rage: "If you can't find anything today, I will definitely go to the Emperor and beg him to investigate thoroughly and punish you!"

Meanwhile, Liang Jiang, hiding in the wardrobe, was so frightened that she held her breath and cursed her bad luck in her heart.

Not too early, not too late, what a coincidence, how did I end up in the room of this pair of illicit lovers?

Now that she's sharing a closet with her lover, she's truly in a situation where she can't clear her name even if she jumps into the Yellow River.

There's no other way, let's run away.

The adulterer behind her seemed to be ready to strike as well, removing his hand from Liang Jiang's mouth and seemingly groping for something at her waist.

The air flowed freely through his nose again, and even through the face mask, Liang Jiang could still smell the alcohol mixed in with the man's breath.

It really is a case of losing control after drinking.

The man and the concubine outside had undoubtedly drunk quite a bit of wine, and emboldened by the alcohol, they lost control and conspired to cuckold the emperor.

As it turns out, nothing stays hidden forever, and their affair was discovered.

Then, just as they were lost in their passion, the eunuchs who had come to catch them in the act suddenly appeared. Or perhaps it was their own accidental intrusion that startled the illicit couple.

Sensing danger but unable to escape, the man hid in the closet, hoping to slip through unnoticed.

Once this man is found, regardless of whether the two are innocent or not, they will both face death.

Liang Jiang felt no sympathy for the two adulterers. If you have the guts to cheat, then don't hide it.

You've made me hide here, and you lecherous scoundrel still managed to take advantage of me.

The moment the wardrobe was opened, the medicinal powder that Liang Jiang had hidden in her hand scattered out like a shower of flowers.

The young eunuch was immediately blinded and covered his eyes, squatting down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Galangal jumped out of the cabinet. The cabinet door bounced back and then closed slightly.

The people inside did not come out.

The eunuchs probably didn't expect that there were two people hiding in this narrow wardrobe, so none of them went forward to check.

The head eunuch was clearly surprised to see Liang Jiang dressed in black and with a slender figure. After a moment of stunned silence, he let out a cold snort: "So you really have a lover! Stop hiding it, take off your veil and show your true face."

Liang Jiang knew she couldn't prolong the battle; if she alerted the Imperial Guards outside, it would be difficult for her to leave the palace.

Before the other party could finish speaking, he suddenly attacked the few eunuchs.

The eunuchs were not skilled in martial arts and were no match for Liang Jiang.

In the blink of an eye, he took down several people.

The leader tried to escape, but Liang Jiang subdued him, rendering him unable to move.

Consort Xin, inside the bed curtains, was greatly startled and cried out in alarm, "Someone come here..."
