After having sex with a fake eunuch, I became the queen
Chapter 46 Rescue
After the death of Emperor Jingxuan, in the Longchang Palace where Empress Xiao was in power, most of the concubines of the previous emperor did not have a good ending. Some were buried alive with him, some were sent to guard the tomb, and some became nuns. But there were also a few who stayed in the palace to retire. Naturally, they were the "pro-empress faction" who had stood on Empress Xiao's side back then.
Concubine Yu was one of them, so she would come over every now and then to show her goodwill to Empress Xiao. Today, when she heard that Empress Xiao did not go to court, she ran to Fengyi Palace.
The door of the imperial study opened, and a woman in a purple brocade skirt walked in. The woman was about forty years old, with a pretty face, a slightly plump figure, delicate makeup, and exquisite clothes and accessories. When she walked in, she was holding a briefcase in her hand.
"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." Concubine Yu walked to the bottom and kowtowed to Xiao Qian.
"Lady Yu, what new fun stuff have you brought today?" Xiao Qian asked directly when he saw her holding a box in her hand.
"Sister, you always say you like the rice wine I make for you. I made a few more jars for you today."
"My sister is really thoughtful."
"Sister, do you want to try it now?"
"No, let's put it aside for now. Come over and talk."
Concubine Yu placed the box in her hand on the cabinet beside her and walked towards Xiao Qian.
"Come and sit closer!" Xiao Qian winked at Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu understood and dragged a chair to Xiao Qian's side, but did not sit down. Instead, she stood behind Xiao Qian and began to massage her shoulders with her hands: "Sister, you are really too tired. Take advantage of coming here today to serve you well."
"Well, it's rare that my sister is so thoughtful." Xiao Qian closed his eyes and enjoyed the service of Concubine Yu.
"Sister, I just arrived at your Fengyi Palace today, and I heard about Lord Fan and the palace maid."
"Hey, who is this nosy guy? I told you so soon? Aren't you afraid that I will cut off his tongue?"
"Sister, I'm not an outsider, so what's the harm in telling me?"
"Is this Fan Mingchu the person my sister also liked to stare at back then?" Xiao Qian asked in a joking tone.
"Sister, look at what you said. That was all many years ago. Who wouldn't want to take a second look at a good-looking man? Besides, I'm not the only one who likes to stare at him." Concubine Yu heard that Empress Dowager Xiao was joking, so she replied with a smile.
"The women in the harem have never seen the world. When they see a good-looking girl, they don't even know their own surnames." When Queen Xiao said this, she had a look of superiority on her face - she, the woman in the harem, was different from the others. She held great power and trampled all the men in the world under her feet.
"Fan Mingchu is not only good-looking, he is also talented. I am just confused, my sister. Lord Fan was like Tang Monk in the past, how come he is suddenly enlightened now? He is so hungry that he finds such a mediocre palace maid." When Concubine Yu said this, Empress Xiao could taste the sourness in her mouth even with her eyes closed.
"This little palace maid is not an ordinary person. I have tried every way to deal with her, but failed." Xiao Qian opened her eyes. She was no longer resting, but had an expression as if she was planning how to suppress the rebels in the court. This was because she had been thinking about this matter just now. When Concubine Yu mentioned it, she found her train of thought again.
"Sister, what are you worried about? Why are you so timid in dealing with a little palace maid? I heard that she was the one who killed Xu Shixin. She also bewitched the young emperor and now she has started to seduce Lord Fan. Such a scheming woman cannot be kept. Send her away quickly with a cup of poisoned wine or a piece of white silk, or just drag her out and chop her up or beat her to death with sticks." Although she had never met Qiao Wan'er before, this Concubine Yu acted as if she was scheming against an enemy who had killed her entire family.
Xiao Qian once again tasted the sour taste in Concubine Yu's mouth, and as if he suddenly thought of something, he blinked twice with deep meaning, "Sister, you are talking lightly. You are not the head of the family, so you don't know how difficult it is to manage a large family. Many things are not as simple as you think. After all, Qiao Wan'er is someone close to the emperor, and now Lord Fan has appeared to check and balance her, treating her like a treasure. Oh, by the way, I heard that crazy girl Mingyue also likes her very much, and often calls her to Xunfang Palace."
"Then this kind of person should not be allowed to stay, which shows that he is very scheming."
Xiao Qian remained silent, as if hesitating about something.
"Sister, you have really changed. I remember how decisive and ruthless you were in the past, but now you have to think before and after dealing with a little palace maid. In such a huge Longchang Palace, you are still the only one who has the final say. Whoever's head you want will have to move away. How dare you let it grow on your neck?" Concubine Yu had a look of disappointment on her face. In her eyes, Xiao Qian was a killing knife. Seeing that the knife was blunt, she wished she could go forward and sharpen it.
Empress Xiao heard that she was trying to add fuel to the fire, and she seemed to like it, so she went with the flow and said, "Sister, you are right. I really don't need to worry so much. It's just a little palace maid's head. It's not a matter of a word from me. It's just that I've been too busy with the affairs of the court recently, and I don't have much time to take care of it..."
"Sister, don't you think I'm still here with you? If you need any help, just tell me." Concubine Yu responded impatiently.
Xiao Qian smiled meaningfully when she said this: "Then I'll have to trouble you to share my worries."

"Wan'er, Wan'er, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!"
Ji Yin gently called out to the unconscious woman lying on the ground - Qiao Wan'er, while rhythmically pressing her chest and lungs. He also bent down from time to time and blew air into her mouth to help her resume independent breathing as soon as possible.
He had thought countless times about how to get close to this woman, but he had never imagined it would be done in this way. It was completely different from what he had imagined and not fun at all.
Ji Yin was a man who had seen many lives and deaths. When he fished the lifeless woman out of the abandoned well, he couldn't get rid of the panic in his heart. His brain felt as if it had been hollowed out, and his heart tightened to the point of almost bursting.
He couldn't imagine how he would face it if this woman never woke up again today.
Although he once felt lucky that this woman could take the blame for him, times have changed and it is now completely impossible for him to have the same mood as before.
If Qiao Wan'er really died on the guillotine, she would no longer have any contact with him. She would only be a passer-by in his life, like a gust of wind blowing past his eyes, bringing up some dust and blowing his eyes blind. He would probably just rub his eyes with his hands, letting the tears from the irritation wash out the dust, and then he would never remember this gust of wind again.
But at this moment, Qiao Wan'er was not just a passing breeze in his heart. Maybe she was really his sweetheart as Lu Yi said. In any case, his heart ached when he thought that this woman might die.
Ji Yin once disregarded life and death for the so-called grand plan, but at this moment, in front of this dying woman, an absurd idea came to his mind. As long as God blesses this woman to wake up now, he can exchange anything for her, even the grand plan he has been planning for a long time.
It was not known whether it was because his sincere prayers moved the heavens, or whether Qiao Wan'er's spirit heard his soul-stirring calls.
After trying various "life-saving" measures, the woman lying on the ground finally responded.
I saw a faint sound coming from her throat, and then a mouthful of water choked out of her mouth, followed by a few consecutive coughs.
Upon seeing this, Ji Ying quickly helped her sit up, patted her back gently, and helped her to choke out as much water as possible that had been inhaled into her lungs.
"I... I'm still alive? Fuzhi, you saved me? How... did you find me?" After spitting out the water, Qiao Wan'er immediately regained a clearer consciousness. She looked around and saw the well beside her and Fuzhi squatting beside her.
Then she continued her memory before she fell into a coma: she was thrown into an abandoned well. There was water in the well and it was very deep. In order not to sink, she struggled desperately and grabbed around with her hands. She accidentally grabbed something protruding from the wall of the well - it was a stone block used to build the wall of the well, and it probably stuck out because the wall was deformed.
So he hung on the rock with his hands so that his face could be above the water and he could keep breathing.
She tried to climb up the well wall, but it was completely in vain. The well water was freezing cold in winter, but Qiao Wan'er seemed to have forgotten this due to her survival instinct. She called for help, but the well was in a very remote location. It was night time and there were few people around. She hoped that a patrolling guard would pass by and hear her call for help, but it seemed that she was not so lucky.
Finally, she had no more strength to shout, and the little strength she had left was all used up in her hands - she had to use both hands to hold on to the protruding rocks to keep her head above the water. But as time went by, her hands began to become numb, and the biting cold made it difficult for her to continue. Finally, all her strength was exhausted, and she sank into the well water.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already outside the well, and only Fuzhi was by her side - he looked distraught, probably thinking that he had just passed away.
"Wan'er, move your body again and see if you are injured or frozen anywhere." Ji Yin had no intention of answering Qiao Wan'er's question. He wanted to first confirm whether the woman was safe and sound.
Qiao Wan'er followed the request of "Fuzhi" and moved her limbs obediently. She pretended to be relaxed and replied, "It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, you rescued me in time. I didn't stay in the water for a long time..."
"Wan'er, do you know who threw you into the well?"
"I don't know. On the way back to Mingxin Hall, I walked into a dark corner where no corridor light could reach. Suddenly, someone jumped out from behind me and covered my mouth and nose with a wet cloth. Then I lost consciousness. There must have been some kind of drug on the wet cloth. When I woke up again, I was already in the abandoned well. Fortunately, the well water was icy cold, which woke me up immediately and prevented me from sinking and drowning.
Ji Yin secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart - it was amazing, he died without even knowing how he died, just like that Liu Baihe.
"It doesn't matter whether you know who did it or not. You can guess who ordered it!" Ji Ying said angrily.
Seeing that Qiao Wan'er's thoughts were clear, her speech was coherent, and her hands and feet were normal when she moved, she should be fine, so I felt relieved.
Although he felt relieved, an inexplicable anger rose from the bottom of his heart. "Qiao Wan'er, you just wouldn't listen to me. If you had listened to me and left this place earlier, this wouldn't have happened. But you just wouldn't listen! You were lucky today because I found you in time, but there's no guarantee that this won't happen a second or third time in the future. You can't always be as lucky as today!"
"Fuzhi, I was too careless... I will try to be more careful next time..." Qiao Wan'er heard "Fuzhi's" rapid-fire complaints and knew that he was angry, so she quickly admitted her mistake.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the angry man in a stern voice: "What's the point of being careful? Someone is watching you and wants to harm you. Can being careful solve the problem? Qiao Wan'er, I said everything I could to please you, but you didn't listen. If something like this happens again in the future, I won't care whether you live or die!"
Seeing that "Fuzhi" was angry, Qiao Wan'er wanted to "hold back her claws", but she didn't expect that the more she held back her claws, the more this angry person would "get more and more aggressive".
She was a stubborn person who would not tolerate any tough words even if she was treated softly. Faced with such a barrage of rebukes, she swallowed back all the words that she had been preparing to say... Actually, she had wanted to tell "Fuzhi" how grateful she was for surviving the calamity, how wronged she was for being ambushed, and of course, how grateful she was for being rescued.
She held back her soft words, but harsh words came out: "Who asked you to care about my life or death? Have I ever cared about your life or death? If I really leave the palace and you die inside, what's the point of me escaping? You might as well not save me and let me die before you, so that I don't have to live in fear every day!"
As soon as the woman finished her words, she started to cry again. Although she knew that "Fuzhi" said that because she was worried about her, she just couldn't listen to him calmly. In the end, all the words of gratitude in her heart turned into a blunt response and crying.
After spending some time together, Ji Yin had some understanding of Qiao Wan'er's personality - she had a stubborn temper, and the tougher the other person was, the more unwilling she was to give in... So, she immediately started to fight back.
But Qiao Wan'er's angry words made Ji Yin's heart tremble - it turned out that she was worried about his safety every day!
"Wan'er, I'm sorry. It's my fault. What I said just now was too harsh. I'm really scared... I'm so scared of losing you." Ji Yin had to give in first.
Many times, a woman may just be waiting for a word of surrender. After hearing Su Ning's "soft words" like "Fuzhi", Qiao Wan'er's unbearable emotions in her heart were instantly resolved, as if she had taken a miraculous heart-clearing pill.
So she reached out to wipe her tears, ready to dry them and talk to him properly. Suddenly, she felt her hand being grabbed and moved away, and something pressed against her cheek - it was the lips of the man in front of her.
The warm lips lingered gently on her cheeks, as if they were sucking away the tears that had not yet dried on her face.
Qiao Wan'er was caught off guard by this sudden attack. She had never been kissed like this before. Her body trembled and she instinctively tried to dodge and resist. But she was immediately dispelled by the man's hug.
"Why are you hiding? Let me warm you up. Aren't you cold after being soaked in cold water?" Ji Yin hugged Qiao Wan'er in his arms and moved his mouth to her ear and whispered softly.
Qiao Wan'er: "..."
This... I was clearly trying to avoid his kiss just now, why is this guy pointing this way and that?
But being hugged by him like this did make me feel a lot warmer.
After whispering, the man's lips returned again and continued to sweep the tear marks on the woman's face. Ji Yin never liked to see women cry, but today he suddenly had the urge to taste those tears.
It's a bit salty and fishy, a bit bitter, and it's not a pleasant taste.
Then he sucked the lips that had been filled with tears and moved to the woman's lips, trying to find warmth between their lips and teeth - tears were too bitter, and there seemed to be a sweet taste here.
Although Qiao Wan'er stopped dodging, she still shrank back in fear from the fierce attack that followed.
This time, the man said nothing, but simply put one hand on the back of her head to hold her head in place.
The lips and teeth overlapped deeper.
She had no choice but to go along with it, somewhat timidly and unskillfully.
Ji Ying sensed her "reluctant but willing" attitude and continued to attack boldly... This was also his first time, so how come he was much more skilled than her?
While "deep plowing", he suddenly felt a strange feeling that made him unable to stop. While holding it back, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice: Fortunately, he is not a real eunuch.
Just as he was thankful, his sharp five senses suddenly heard some sounds coming from far away. He had to let go of the woman in his arms and then stood up: "Wan'er, it must be someone from Mingxin Palace who is looking for you. I can't stay here. If they ask who saved you, just say that it was an unknown servant who passed by here, heard your cry for help, found you, and pulled you out of the well with a corset. The servant had something urgent to do, so he left in a hurry."
Qiao Wan'er, who was sitting on the ground, seemed to have not yet recovered from the abrupt end of the tenderness. She kept looking up at the man who had just kissed her. After listening to what he said, she nodded stiffly.
"Wan'er, when you go back, change your wet clothes quickly, drink a big bowl of ginger soup, and cover yourself with a few more quilts to drive out the cold." The man seemed reluctant to leave and gave a few more quick instructions.
Qiao Wan'er still had that dull expression on her face, and she nodded once again in response.
Seeing that the woman was still in a daze, Ji Yin couldn't help laughing, and quickly leaned over and gently kissed her on the forehead.
After standing up again, he didn't delay any longer and turned around and rushed into the night.
Qiao Wan'er stared at the figure blending into the night, and did not come back to her senses until it completely disappeared. After she came back to her senses, she shuddered belatedly, followed by a series of sneezes... Fortunately, these sneezes did not come out just now, otherwise they would have ruined the atmosphere.
