In the dead of night, Yun Qingyu, feeling playful, suddenly lifted Xin Yao's chin and told him that sleeping in the princess's bed every day was known as "serving the bed" in the harem.
Xin Yao gazed at Yun Qingyu's stunning beauty, a wave of nervousness washing over him for the first time. His hands unconsciously clenched the fabric of his trousers.
He longed to say, "Subordinate is willing to serve the bed, willing to do so every day."
But his master hadn’t asked if he was willing; if he spoke up, it would seem like overstepping his bounds.
As Xin Yao pondered how to express himself, Yun Qingyu, who seemed to read his thoughts clearly, suddenly changed the subject. "Isn't the Northern Protectorate Prince arriving soon?"
Xin Yao was taken aback for a moment before nodding and replying, "Yes."
Yun Qingyu felt an unexpected surge of happiness, her gaze softening considerably. She asked, "How many more days?"
Xin Yao respectfully responded, "The Northern Protectorate Prince has a special status and cannot come alone. However, since the Baron holds military power but has not received imperial orders, he cannot mobilize troops at will. Therefore, he can only bring along some highly skilled guards to reach the imperial city. It should take a few more days."
Yun Qingyu smiled and lay down, gently saying, "Time for sleep."
Finally, the words that Xin Yao had been holding back dissipated entirely, yet his heart felt increasingly warm.
He obediently lay beside the princess as the Eastern Pavilion enveloped them in tranquil silence.
Meanwhile, in the West Pavilion's Wutong Courtyard, chaos reigned. The Five Attendants had no intention of sleeping and took turns forcing Ling Jing to pay the price for defiling Eldest Princess Yun Qingyu.
Hong Yu glanced at him with disdain and suggested, "To be honest, I think the delicate appearance of the Lin Family Young Master is quite suitable for serving in the palace as a Eunuch. Why not let him go in and become a Grand Steward?"
Shen Zhongjing cleared his throat and said, "The Emperor already has Chen Gonggong serving him. Even if he entered the palace, he would probably never reach the position of Grand Steward in this lifetime. Let's save that opportunity for the next life."
Hong Yu felt a bit regretful but suddenly thought of something more interesting. "How about letting him serve in Ganquan Palace for Consort Duan? What do you all think?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the room fell into sudden silence.
Hong Yu frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Is this idea not appropriate?"
Yun Lingchuan paused for a moment before saying, "It's not that it's inappropriate; it's just that we never intended for him to leave alive. How can he serve Consort Duan?"
A spark of inspiration hit Hong Yu. "We could leave him with just enough breath to serve Consort Duan, and then he can die right after. It's a perfect idea."
Ling Jing, though unable to speak due to being gagged, was deeply stimulated by the intense pain in his body and the words of those around him, his expression twisted in agony.
Seeing this, Hong Yu sneered and said, "What a pity! The ropes and shackles were taken from Young Master Ling's room. It’s quite fitting for Young Master Ling's peculiar tastes; this exquisite torment will surely be unforgettable for a lifetime."
Wen Zhan immediately interjected to correct him, "Hong Yu, that's not quite right. 'Lifetime' is too long; Young Master Ling probably won't make it that far. You should say that even reincarnation would be hard to forget such an experience."
Hong Yu nodded in agreement, happily accepting the correction. "I stand corrected. Truly worthy of being called a Scholar; your knowledge is impressive."
Wen Zhan humbly smiled and replied, "You're too kind."
Yun Lingchuan looked at the group and suddenly spoke, "You all go back. I'll stay here with Qilin to keep watch and chat about some matters."
Hong Yu, Shen Zhongjing, and Wen Zhan turned to look at Qilin in unison, their expressions seemingly asking, "When did you get so close to Master Yun? How could you leave us out? That's just not fair."
Qilin calmly turned to Yun Lingchuan and asked, "What does Master Yun want to discuss with me?"
Yun Lingchuan smiled lightly and replied, "I want to talk about the Northern Protectorate Prince."
Qilin glanced at the three, as if to clear any misunderstandings. "Master Yun only wants to discuss the Northern Protectorate Prince with me. You all should go back and rest. If there's anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Yun Lingchuan pretended not to notice the silent exchange of glances among the four and stepped outside first.
Shen Zhongjing chuckled and said, "Have a good chat with Master Yun; we won't disturb you."
Hong Yu reminded Qilin, "Make sure to have Master Yun settle the bill for us later. It's better to get cash; it's easier to carry and doesn't take up much space."
Wen Zhan quickly nodded in agreement, "Let's do it tomorrow morning. Don't delay too long; otherwise, it could turn into a dead debt."
Shen Zhongjing glanced at the three and said, "I'm not in a hurry for my thousand taels of silver. Why are you all so anxious about your mere Three Hundred Taels? Let's go; tonight is just an appetizer, and tomorrow there will be one hundred and eight main courses."
