What an Audacious and Sly Servant! - Chapter 71

Chapter 71 – Brothers

While Mei Qian Deng was in a daze, she kept feeling there was a pair of evil hands harassing her.

One moment, they would touch her eyes, her nose, her face and ears. Another moment they would touched her hands and helped her tucked into the quilt. After drinking that wine, her whole body felt hot. She was sleeping with her clothes on and she was even covered with such a thick quilt, Mei Qian Deng frowned as she slapped away the hands touching her as well as the quilt tightly covering her body.

“Why are you so disobedient?”

Someone murmured beside her ear. The voice was extremely pleasant to hear. It just that the wind blew until her ear felt itchy. Mei Qian Deng moved inside to avoid it. She waved her hand too, like she was chasing away flies and mosquitoes as she chased away a certain annoying Emperor.

Chu Xun felt just seeing was not enough. He really couldn’t see enough of Mei Qian Deng. That beautiful look, that slender, long fingers, that alluring lips. Chu Xun licked his own lips. His lips were a bit dry and peeling. After a very, very long time, he couldn’t stop himself from moving. He slowly shoved Mei Qian Deng deeper inside. He had half the pillow and bed as he slept beside Mei Qian Deng.

His nose was filled with the wine fragrance and a beauty’s fragrance. Chu Xun buried his whole face into Mei Qian Deng’s neck. He smelled like a puppy. “Your body seems like it has a cold plum smell, can’t get enough of smelling it.”

Pa——!

Being slapped by the muddled female warrior Mei, half of Chu Xun’s face was burning painfully. It was not because female warrior Mei’s strength was huge like a bull. It just that in these two days it got kicked and messed about by those hidden weapons. Chu Xun’s usually prideful handsome face had been changed beyond recognition and was like a calico cat when receiving any injury.

For the sake of the girl he liked, physical pain was nothing!

Chu Xun lie on his side facing Mei Qian Deng. Seeing Mei Qian Deng couldn’t sleep soundly, he let her have the whole pillow while he rested his head on his own hand. He felt unwilling to disturb her while his eyes were glued to Mei Qian Deng’s sleeping face.

Staring-at-wife maniac.

He silently planned: Mei Qian Deng today only stayed back due to his self-injury plan. It was just a temporary plan. If he wanted to make her return to the capital city and to the imperial palace with him, she would surely disagree. What should he do to make Mei Qian Deng willingly stay with him? Confess and ask for her hand in marriage? No, that was too sudden. Eight out of ten it would scare female warrior Mei so much she ran away with a whoosh. Be brazen faced? How to be a brazen faced……

Chu Xun stared at Mei Qian Deng while pondering plans. Unconsciously, it was still fine his head turning around but his shameless handsome face moved closer towards Mei Qian Deng’s head. Thinking, what sort of way to make her stay……why not just cook the rice……hey! Cannot, absolutely cannot.

Zhen is a principled and virtuous proper monarch of a dynasty!

Chu Xun shook his head. Stay calm, stay calm. He took three deep breaths and calmed down his mind. Then, he approached Mei Qian Deng’s face. Their nose met each other, they were very close.

This forcing himself upon her was definitely out but to secretly kiss, it still can right?

Chu Xun nodded his head, he agreed with his own idea.

Kiss.

He pecked Mei Qian Deng’s cherry mouth.

Really sweet.

After a certain person finished kissing, he raised his head to see the soundly sleeping Mei Qian Deng and grinned foolishly. Mei Qian Deng frowned, her conscious was not fully awake, just her head too dizzy. She faintly sensed something touched her mouth, violently in that short moment and even knocked against her teeth.

Chu Xun was obviously not blind. Yet, seeing Mei Qian Deng’s reaction, his wicked guts became bigger. He bent forward again to kiss once. It was more forceful than the previous one, nibbling female warrior Mei’s lower lips, his small tongue even tried to pry open her teeth and enter the girl’s mouth.

However, he didn’t succeed.

Chu Xun propped up his arms and raised his head to look at Mei Qian Deng. He rubbed his palm along some of her hair and lightly stroked her forehead while consoling himself: No problem, the days to come are still long.

After he tossed about for half the night, he finally felt tired. Holding the quilt, he tucked Mei Qian Deng tightly while he hugged that quilt and the beauty, sleeping soundly to his heart’s content.

(Author and the audience: Your Majesty, where is the basic trust between humans?)

The next day, at the first sign of dawn.

Mei Qian Deng slowly woke up. Her head was really painful so she planned to stretch out her hand to rub it. Yet she found out her hand couldn’t move. After she settled her eyes, she then noticed she was like a zongzi trapped inside the quilt while Chu Xun’s sleeping face was right before her eyes.

Female warrior Mei was slightly dumbfounded. She couldn’t react properly a bit. She tried her best to remember what happened last night and then looked at Chu Xun again. Her small face blushed a little. Female warrior Mei’s heart was extremely awkward. Even though this was not her first time sleeping on the same bed with this man, even though she had been disguising as a man for so many years that she already considered herself turning into half a man and her mentality had always been the best.

But, but, but why was her face blushing?

Mei Qian Deng closed her eyes and stabilised her breathing in an instant. After she had regained her calm, she was like ’emerging out of the cocoon’ from the quilt.

Chu Xun was at that time having a nice dream. He dreamed seeing Mei Qian Deng wearing female clothes. She was under the peach blossom trees while smiling at him. After she smiled for a while, the scene changed. The two of them were exchanging moves under the tree. You come, I go, exchanging flirting glances at each other. Suddenly Mei Qian Deng didn’t stand properly and about to fall down. Chu Xun immediately turned his body around and pounced forward to save her.

“Aiyo.”

So painful.

Chu Xun woke up with a start and found out he had fell onto the floor.

Raising his head, he instantly saw Mei Qian Deng sitting on the bed while coldly stared at him who was on the floor. Her eyes were filled with question: Why are you on my bed?

Chu Xun had a guilty conscience, he stayed on the floor while mumbling, “Hiss, zhen’s head is so painful. How many cups of wine did zhen drink last night? Yi, Mei Qian Deng how dare you to be on zhen’s bed?”

“……”

“No problem, no problem. If you like zhen’s dragon bed, zhen will let you sleep on it every day.”

The green veins on Mei Qian Deng’s forehead throbbed. Listening to Chu Xun’s words, why did she keep feeling there was something weird about it?

She moved to the edge of the bed and started to wear her shoes. Only then Chu Xun dared to move. He stood barefooted off the bed with his head buried under his neck. The toes on both his legs rubbed against each other. He appeared to be upset and pitiful, “Are you leaving?” That expression was really like a virgin unmarried girl who had fallen in love with a wastrel. One day in the middle of the night after yielding with a show of reluctant and after she got eaten cleanly by that wastrel she found out that wastrel had abandoned her. It was that extremely pitiful look.

Regarding acting, Chu Xun had always been the best actor.

However, female warrior Mei wasn’t fazed by it at all. Apology wine had been drank, the person had been slept too. Men and women from jianghu had never bothered with trifles. The past could never remain forever. She hugged her fist with her other fist towards Chu Xun, “Your Majesty, the green mountains never change, the crystal-clear water flows forever.”

Chu Xun was so furious his lungs exploded. To think what he guessed last night was this accurate. No, no, no. It was guessing too optimistically. This girl obviously didn’t have an ounce of desire to remain by his side. He stretched out his arms, forming a 大 shape as he blocked Mei Qian Deng’s route.

“Wait, did zhen agree with you leaving?”

Mei Qian Deng used the similar to the five years ago clear and pure black eyes to stare at him, “What other order does Your Majesty have?”

“No order.” Chu Xun smiled instead when he was too angry. He pointed at his own face, “This is kicked by you, right?”

Female warrior Mei nodded. Dare to do, dare to admit.

“Before the print on zhen’s face disappears, you’re not allowed to leave. In case the injury never heals, you have to be responsible of it until the end.”

Although Mei Qian Deng had fragmented memories of the second half of last night, she remembered clearly when she was drinking several cups of wine. She asked instead, “Didn’t I already drink the wine as apology?”

“Who say there’s no more after apologising and can be dissolved in one move? Plus, you have a pile of old debts. Can they be dissolved in one move?” Chu Xun acting shameless was similar to how serious and solemn he was during the morning court.

“……”

Chu Xun took the chance Mei Qian Deng didn’t have any words to immediately shout at the door, “Xiao Jing Zi, prepare the room beside zhen’s for Young Miss Mei’s temporary stay.”

When Xiao Jing Zi heard a voice, he quickly pushed open the door. Actually he had stayed on guard outside for the whole night. Last night, he only stared blankly the Emperor tightly hugged Little Young Master Mei and went into his own room. Xiao Jing Zi as the young eunuch who grew up in the muddy water deep inside the imperial palace, he couldn’t stop his mind from conjuring various aesthetic scenes of pure friendship between men.

Xiao Jing Zi glanced at the messy bed, the not properly dressed Emperor and the grieving Little Young Master Mei. His face reddened. He stuttered, “Mei, Young Miss Mei? Your Majesty, in here, in here there is no, no young miss though?”

After he said, he received a cold roll of eyes from Chu Xun.

“Yes, yes, yes. Nucai will go now to clean it up……” But exactly what is this Young Miss Mei?!

“Wait, come back. Hiss——zhen’s face is more painful than yesterday. Go and bring that swelling-relieving medicine here first.” Chu Xun delicately touched his own handsome face. The injury was real. Adding drinking wine and didn’t sleep properly last night, his whole face indeed seemed too tragic to look at.

However——! This didn’t eliminate the possibility of him exaggerating, using it to gain the young miss’s sympathy.

Chu Xun turned his body around. In front of Mei Qian Deng, he grimaced in pain, “Look at this yourself. Zhen’s heroic face turns into this, don’t you think you should take even a grain of responsibility for this?”

Mei Qian Deng’s face hung down. The sense of justice in her heart caused her to feel an absolute sense of fault.

Alright. She nodded her head. She finally relented.

Chu Xun shouted out and landed on the bed, “Zhen suddenly feel dizzy. It must be due to the injuries sustained and being drenched with cold water until zhen have a cold. It’s starting right now. Mei Qian Deng, Mei Qian Deng, you will stay on guard beside zhen’s bed, just like in the past. En? Alright?”

“……alright.”

Xiao Jing Zi knocked the door again before entering. His steps were swiftly. His eyes looking at Mei Qian Deng were filled with bewilderment and surprise. His eyeballs moved around nonstop. The young eunuch was uncertain in his heart: So it’s actually Young Master Mei or Young Miss Mei, Young Miss Mei or Young Master Mei?

“Medicine, medicine……” With trembling hands, Xiao Jing Zi passed a white porcelain bottle to Mei Qian Deng. He didn’t know how he should call Mei Qian Deng.

Mei Qian Deng received the medicine bottle and quietly checked it.

At the critical moment, even though Xiao Jing Zi was still confused, his heart was in sync with his master as he tacitly gave a good assist for Chu Xun, “Just help His Majesty to apply it on his face……”

Mei Qian Deng stared at Xiao Jing Zi. Xiao Jing Zi’s eyes met hers. He could clearly read the meaning behind female warrior Mei’s eyes: Jing gonggong, isn’t it supposed to be you to serve His Majesty?

“I, I need to prepare the room next door!” How could Xiao Jing Zi dare to look face to face with Mei Qian Deng? After throwing those words, he quickly ran.

Chu Xun who was pretending to faint secretly opened one of his eyes. He only saw the back of the fast escaping Xiao Jing Zi. His mouth pulled into a grin. This guy is not bad, should be rewarded! He sensed Mei Qian Deng was about to turn her body back so he immediately closed his eyes again and groaned randomly.

“Eiyo ao……why are you standing foolishly for? Quick, help me apply the salve on my face.”

Mei Qian Deng didn’t make any sound as she sat beside the bed. She put the medicine bottle on the edge of the bed. Her forefinger dug a part of it and steadily fell onto Chu Xun’s face. Chu Xun instantly felt the coldness of that salve on his skin. It made him felt really comfortable. After that, following the salve applied, Mei Qian Deng’s slightly cold finger movements on his face became more distinct.

That again, again and again rubbing, Chu Xun could conceitedly feel Mei Qian Deng’s carefulness. She must be afraid of paining him, hence the extremely light strength of her fingertip. It was like a feather softly tickled his face yet also like the spring wind blowing on his face.

Chu Xun strongly believed, in this world there was no other pair of hands that could match Mei Qian Deng’s pair. The pain on his face instantly disappeared. The pores all over his body had opened. It was so comfortable he wanted to say don’t, don’t. Chu Xun closed his eyes as he imagined further movement of that pair of hands.

They would rub all over his face, forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, ears……after that would be his neck. If she went down even further, they could even touch his chest, his armpits, his navel, his abdominal muscles and V-lines[1] (you really have them?), also his……his……!!!

“Ao~”

A certain person voiced out a comfortable faint breathing sound due to his sexual fantasy.

It surprised Mei Qian Deng that her finger slipped and nearly stick it into Chu Xun’s nostril.

Chu Xun had yet to be aware of it, “Continue, apply it some more.”

“……”

The gentle movement started again. Mei Qian Deng thought to do the job to its end. After she apply a layer of fresh green salve on Chu Xun’s whole face, she added a massage as an extra gift. She slowly massaged Chu Xun’s temples. She thought to herself, Chu Xun was now the Emperor, he must be occupied with a myriad of state affairs. It must be very arduous.

Truthfully speaking, it was not like Mei Qian Deng didn’t think of returning to the imperial palace and to return to Chu Xun’s side before. She too knew Chu Xun was searching for her nonstop in these few years. But, Old Master Mei and her several brothers didn’t agree. Not mentioning the danger in the royal court, Mei Qian Deng’s identity as a girl was really not suitable. She had imagined before the scene of how she meet Chu Xun again. Out of the various possibilities, none of them were the same like today.

Mei Qian Deng’s hands movements didn’t stop while her mind flew far away. Chu Xun felt comfortable to his toes from her massage. His ten toes stretched out and curled repeatedly and stroked each other. Suddenly, Chu Xun felt something warm flowing at his lower abdomen. It was like a power as mighty as a thunderbolt moving along the cracked earth towards his own little brother.

At once, a small tent propped up at the middle part of the quilt.

Ah!! Ah!!! Ah!!!!

Chu Xun held the crotch of his own pants and violently sat up on the bed.

Mei Qian Deng was surprised by Chu Xun’s sudden movement, “Did I hurt you?” She thought when she was absent-minded her hands accidentally used too much force and hurt him.

“No, no, no you didn’t!”

“Then, what is wrong with you?”

Chu Xun’s whole face was burning red. Thankfully the green salve helped him covered it. Only the redness on his neck could be seen. Mei Qian Deng’s sharp eyes instantly noticed it and hastily asked, “Are you allergic to this salve?”

“Don’t mind it. I’m fine. You, go out first. Go out for a moment.”

Mei Qian Deng had a perplexed face.

Chu Xun had nothing to lose, “Really, I’m fine. It’s just I want to go to the lavatory. There is a pot in the room. You can’t actually stand inside here watching me take off my pants. If you’re still not leaving, I will really take off my pants!”

Female warrior Mei had no other words as she turned her head around and left.

“Huh……” Chu Xun sighed of relief. Lowering his head to look at the quilt, he scolded his own brother.

“Good brother, hold it a bit longer. Do you know, the great plan can be ruined by just a touch of impatience? In the future, I will surely feed you full!”
