Chapter 470: Pulled on bed
" As the Empress, you have to be very careful while making these arrangements do you understand?" The Grand Dowager Empress spoke to Liu Hui Ying who was kneeling on a small cushion.
Though with Liu Hui Ying's identity, it would have been fine, if she sat on a small chair which was beneath her, the grand dowager Empress liked the feeling of the Liu family daughters lowering their heads in front of her.
Even though they were in power they still have to lower their head in front of her, wasn't it fun?
Liu Hui Ying also knew that the old hag was purposely making things difficult for her but she was too furious on Zhai Tianyu to focus on the old grand dowager.
She felt a sense of foreboding when the man came to her courtyard and told her that she had to prepare herself for choosing new concubines but then that sense of foreboding turned into a nightmare when the Grand Dowager Empress called for her.
From what she could summarize from all the Yada Yada yoo~ that the old woman was saying to her that there was that at the eve of the new year celebration, there will be another ceremony. And in that said ceremony, young maidens from all over the imperial city would perform and those who were more skilled and elegant than others would be chosen as the imperial concubines.
And the task of auditioning those young maidens before the real deal was placed on the top of her head!
'That damned jerk! Just how many women does he need? Even without this ceremony, he has more than enough women to go crazy from Monday to Sunday! In fact, even if he was to visit the harem three times per day of a week, he still wouldn't be able to taste all the fruits in his bowl !' Liu Hui Ying roared inside her head, she was so furious that she wished to scratch someone's face real bad.
" Do you understand what I said?" The grand dowager Empress asked, in fact, she hadn't paid attention to this ceremony before but from the affection and attention that Zhai Tianyu was showing to Liu Hui Ying, she was a bit anxious.
For the sake of keeping her grandson away from this woman, she needed to make sure that Zhai Tianyu's attention will be diverted before he get even more deeply affected by this woman!
"… I understand, your majesty." Understand? My foot! Just wait! The second I get my hands on that man, I will make him suffer.
The grand dowager Empress dug her nail in her palm before looking at Liu Hui Ying who continued to keep her head lowered. A satisfied smile played on her lips upon seeing that the woman was not daring to show any dissatisfaction before she said in a soft voice, " I understand that it is quite harsh on you as his main wife but what can we do?
As women, we have to be patient and big-hearted with our husband's desires and satisfaction. As Tianyu is the Emperor, he needs to have as many children as possible. I hope you will understand this, dear queen."
" Of course," with a nerve throbbing dangerously in her cheek, Liu Hui Ying raised her head and brilliantly smiled at the grand dowager Empress. " You don't have to worry, your majesty. I will choose such good women for his majesty that he will be thoroughly satisfied." So satisfied that he will forget to walk from now on.
After the grand dowager Empress was done disgusting Liu Hui Ying, she allowed her to leave. Once Liu Hui Ying stepped out of the courtyard which belonged to the old hag whose favourite hobby was to torment her and then turned to look at Jia Li who returned from Zhai Tianyu's courtyard and asked, " Is he at the courtyard?"
Jia Li nodded and replied, " When I went looking for him, he was indeed in his courtyard. I don't know whether or not he will stay put when you go to see him."
" Heh, there is a very simple solution for this," Liu Hui Ying sneered as she took out a talisman and stuck it to her clothes. " Since he dared to mess with me, how can I not mess with him?"
…
On the other side, Zhai Tianyu was nervously looking at the door of his study before he looked down and sighed, his sigh was so loud that both Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun who were working on the side, raised their head and looked at him with confusion in their eyes.
"What's the matter, your majesty? Bad stomach?" Since both the eunuchs sent by the Liu and the Ji family were inside the study, Yu Lingyun did not say anything outright, instead, he could only question Zhai Tianyu with a light-hearted voice that seemed a bit too stupid.
Zhai Tianyu glared at Yu Lingyun and spoke through gritted teeth before he said, " Nothing of the sort. I am just worried that the——"
He was still speaking when the door of his study suddenly opened, stunned he turned around and looked at the empty doorway where no one was standing and shivered. He had a bad feeling, boy… he had a very bad feeling about this.
" How did the door open on its own?" The eunuch questioned as he walked towards the door and closed it. " It seems like the weather is too bad these days."
Eunuch Li nodded on the side and continued to pour tea in Zhai Tianyu's cup as he agreed with what Eunuch Chi said and nodded, " You are right, it seems to me that the weather is going to go only worse from here on. Your majesty, you should remember to pay more attention to your health and safety make sure to wear more clothes——"
" Your majesty? What is the matter?" Eunuch Chi sharply questioned attracting the attention of others as they all looked at Zhai Tianyu who was holding his crotch with a painful look on his face. " What happened?"
" Go and call physician Zhao! And the Empress as well!"
-----------------
" It will hurt just a bit, your majesty… don't worry," the voice of physician Zhao came from inside as Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun nervously looked at Liu Hui Ying who was calmly sipping on her tea. They did not know what happened but all of a sudden, Zhai Tianyu called for the Empress and Physician Zhao. Continue reading on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net
They only thought that it was a small matter but who would have thought that they would find out that Zhai Tianyu was having small pus-filled boils on his bottom and his manhood? From what they heard from Physician Zhao, those boils needed to be treated at once because if they were left alone, there was a chance that Zhai Tianyu will turn impotent!
It was so terrifying that the two of them felt their hearts shudder.
They had a suspicion that this matter was related to her majesty but they had no proof!
Liu Hui Ying, who was sipping on the tea calmly turned to look at them and asked, " Whats the matter?"
" That——" Yu Lingyun opened his mouth he wanted to ask Liu Hui Ying if she was the one behind what happened to Zhai Tianyu but the second he opened his mouth he was interrupted by a wretched scream which curdled his blood.
"ARGH! IT HURTS!" Zhai Tianyu screamed from the other side of the door causing Yu Lingyun to gulp and then say, " Never mind."
Liu Hui Ying smirked before she turned her head to look at the door which remained closed for a few more minutes before Physician Zhao pushed it open and then said, " He is fine for the time being but even so, I will suggest his majesty's attendants relay the message that all the concubines should pay attention to their personal hygiene for the time being.
It is not a good thing if such infection continuously happens."
' Oh, so it was because of poor hygiene?' Zhai Heng and Yu Lingyun wondered but then they turned to look at Liu Hui Ying, if that was the matter then why did Zhai Tianyu call for Liu Hui Ying?
No more importantly when did he shed his long-term bachelorhood?
That was the most important thing!
While Yu Lingyun and Zhai Heng were lost in their thoughts, Physician Zhao turned to look at Liu Hui Ying and said, " His Majesty has called for you, your majesty."
" Oh is that so?" Liu Hui Ying arched a brow as she nodded and then stood up from her seat before placing the teacup on the table. She wiped the caresses on her skirt and headed inside the room, no sooner did she step inside the room, her nostrils were filled with the scent of medicinal herbs and some sour smell.
Having a very good idea about what it was, she smiled softly and then asked in a false concern, "Your majesty, are you okay?"
However, when she came to stop in front of the bed, she realised that Zhai Tianyu was not there.
A frown etched on her face as she looked down at the bed wondering where the man went when someone snatched her wrist and pushed her on the bed just in time for a hard chest to collide with hers.
