âYour Majesty, please wait a moment~â Empress Pei Man gave a bewitching smile but did not rise. Instead, she slid to the edge of the bed, opened a nearby cabinet, and retrieved an exquisite porcelain bottle.
âPlease enjoy this first, Your Majesty.â Kneeling before Song Qingshu, she presented the bottle with both hands. The movement caused her silk robeâno longer securedâto slip from her shoulders, only stopping its descent thanks to the ample swell of her chest.
It was more than enough to entice any sane living man.
Revealing too much could ruin the allure, but this state of half-undress, where everything was hinted but not fully exposed, was the most seductive.
Song Qingshuâs throat went dry, but fortunately, his mind remained focused on the task at hand. Taking the bottle, he weighed it in his handâroughly half remained. While this amount was more than enough for one person, it was far from sufficient to save the dozens of women in the Laundry Courtyard.
He had no intention of consuming the substance himself. Perhaps due to his past lifeâs experiences, he harbored a deep aversion to such drrugs. Yet, seeing Empress Pei Man gazing up at him with such seductive anticipation, he had an idea. Gripping her smooth chin, he poured the contents into her mouth.
âCough⊠too much⊠coughâŠâ
Empress Pei Man tried to dodge in panic, but Song Qingshuâs grip was like iron, leaving her unable to move an inch.
He had no intention of overdosing herâjust enough to distort her senses and induce hallucinations, which was precisely what he wanted.
After being teased by two stunning beautiesâthe elder sister of the yellow-robed woman and Empress Pei ManâSong Qingshu felt like a volcano ready to erupt.
Unfortunately, he was currently disguised as a eunuch. If he acted impulsively and revealed his identity, the consequences would be disastrous.
Of course, he could always use the Soul Capture Technique to alter her memories afterward.
But first, he wasnât entirely sure how long the techniqueâs effects lasted. The human brain was a mysterious organâeven the advanced science of his past life hadnât fully unraveled its secrets.
Who knew when she might suddenly remember everything?
Second, as the empress of a Dynasty, she likely had experts around her. If someone discovered she had been subjected to the Soul Capture Technique, it would spell trouble.
Unless absolutely necessary, he avoided using it.
There was also a personal reasonâsurrounded by many confidantes now, he had long outgrown the phase of resorting to underhanded means to possess a woman. Using the Soul Capture Technique to obtain a w0man was too easy⊠and far too dull. (G: character development.)
âYour Majesty~â
Empress Pei Manâs honeyed voice snapped him back to reality. Looking down, he saw her eyes glazed with desire, her skin flushed like drunken silk, her full b0som trembling with each rapid breath.
âGet on your stomach!â
Seeing not a trace of clarity left in her eyes, he knew the Carefree Powder had taken full effect. She probably no longer even remembered who she was.
âYes, Your Majesty~â she cooed obediently, lowering herself onto the bed.
Song Qingshuâs breathing grew ragged.
At this point, why hold back?
He pressed forward without hesitationâ
Empress Pei Man lay submissively, her round, upturned rear straining against the exquisite silk gownâlikely a tribute from the Southern Dynasty.
âSince those Southerners are so spineless, Iâll reclaim some pride for the Han people!â
Song Qingshu thought coldly.
With a rough motion, he lifted her sk!rt, revealing her moon-like curves, pale and flawless as jade.
âNggghh~â
âYour Majesty, please be gentleâŠah!â she whimpered.
âGentle?â A flash of cruelty crossed Song Qingshu eyes. Had the Jin invaders shown any mercy to the women of the Song during the Jingkang Incident?
Sliding a hand between her th!ghs, he found the entrance to her homely hole already drenchedâwith nectar dripping down the inner sides.
âThis woman really is a natural-born mas0chist,â
he mused.
âAfter being treated like a servant for so long, not only is she not angry, but her b0dy has grown even more sensitive.â
Without further ceremony, he guided his c0ck inside, molding her canal to his shape, as he deeply sheathed himself within her gloryhole.
âAhhhnâŠhmm?â Empress Pei Man faintly registered something unusualâthis felt far hotter than usual. But in her drugged haze, she couldnât quite grasp why. Regardless, her inner fleshy walls parted, welcoming the invasion, as it desperately wrapped around the shaft.
âShhht!â Song Qingshu exhaled sharply.
Pei Manâs body was already slick, allowing him to plunge deep in a single stroke. The sensation of tight, heated flesh nearly made him shudder in pleasure.
âAhnnn~!â Empress Pei Man gasped as if pierced by a red-hot iron rod.
The overwhelming hardness and scorching heat were unlike anything she had ever experienced, nearly bringing her to tears.
No longer restraining himself, Song Qingshu gripped her hips and began thrusting mercilessly, each wave of impact threatening to shatter her.
âW-WaitâŠahnng~â Empress Pei Man, long deprived of such intimacy, struggled to adjust to the intensity.
Seeing the most noble w0man of the Jin Dynasty begging beneath him, Song Qingshu felt an intoxicating rush of dominance. His ar0usal only grew, and instead of relenting, he intensified his assault.
âUnnggg~â
Pei Manâs body trembled, her snatch clenching around his c0ck as waves of warm nectar drenched their connected flesh. The slick friction made each movement unbearably pleasurable.
Empress Pei Man lost count of how many times she reached the peak of pleasure.
Eventually, if not for Song Qingshuâs grip, she wouldnât have had the strength to keep her hips raised, forced to endure his relentless pace.
By the time she regained clarity in the dead of night, Empress Pei Man scoffed at her own absurdityâplaying such a game with a mere eunuch. Yet, the blurred memories of soul-shaking ecstasy and her own shameless pleading made her cheeks burn with humiliation.
âMy body was actually conquered by a eunuch!â
â
Heâs so skilled⊠I might even hesitate to kill him now,â
she mused lazily before realizing she was parched. She had dismissed all her maids earlier for secrecyâs sake, so she had to fetch water herself.
The moment she stood, however, her face paled. Lifting her skirt, she touched the slick fluid trailing down her thighsâthe unmistakable texture and scent of a manâs essence struck her like lightning, sending her collapsing to the floor.
âWho was it?! Did someone else enter Taihe Hall after that d*mned eunuch left? A guard? One of Prince Weiâs men? Or⊠Prince Wei himself?â
Unbeknownst to Song Qingshu, his carelessness in leaving âevidenceâ behind had thrown Empress Pei Man into turmoil. Yet, by sheer luck, the truth never crossed her mind.
Leaving Taihe Hall, Song Qingshu felt invigorated. Were it not for the risk of alerting patrolling guards, he might have whistled in satisfaction.
Returning to Xiao Xingguoâs quarters, he wondered if the yellow-robed woman and her sister had already retired. Would they misunderstand if he visited them so late?
Before tonight, he might have entertained other ideas, but now, all he wanted was sleep.
To his surprise, the house was still lit.
Pushing the door open, he found both sisters awakeâone reclining on the bed, the other sitting at a table, chin in hand, staring blankly at the entrance.
âUh⊠were you waiting for me?â He scratched his head sheepishly. It felt wrong to have kept two beauties waiting while he indulged elsewhere.
The yellow-robed woman sprang up, her tone sharp. âWhy did you take so long?â
âI stayed a while at Taihe Hall. Is that a problem?â He didnât understand her sudden irritation and retorted bluntly, plopping into a chair and pouring himself water.
After the nightâs exertions, he needed to rehydrate.
âWas Taihe Hall that enjoyable?â Her clear, autumn-water eyes bore into him.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â He sipped his tea, a smirk tugging at his lips as he recalled Empress Pei Manâs alluring figure. âYes, very enjoyable.â
âI doubt it was Taihe Hall you found enjoyableâit was the Empress herself, wasnât it?â She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, biting her lip as she glared at him.
