Chapter 30.2

In the quiet night, the chirping of crickets could be heard faintly.

Fucheng, shrinking his neck, was squatting under the stone platform in front of Yaoniang's room. Such a dejected view of him was thanks to his master meeting a woman in secret. Therefore, as a servant, he had to be as stealthy as possible so as not to be seen by others. 

First and foremost, this was Jin Wang Mansion. It was known that except for Siyi Courtyard, he could enter any place in the Mansion at will.

Fucheng, who couldn't hear anything at all, was on pins and needles. This eunuch was so anxious that he wanted to tear down the door with his hands.

Fucheng was afraid that the poison in Jin Wang's body would attack the heart, and that the little nanny would rather die than submit. Things would escalate and make people laugh. And what was more frightening was if the little nanny couldn’t relieve Jin Wang’s pain. Then there would be no other way left.

Thinking of this, Fucheng became even more fearful.

He couldn't help coming down the steps and looking over the roof.

There was nothing but faint silver moonlight on the black tiles. Facing the roof, Fucheng whistled twice. In the blink of an eye, a man in black appeared in front of him. It was An Shi.

An Shi had been squatting on the roof for a while. It's just that his kungfu hiding skill was so good that people couldn’t see him.

"What's going on inside?"

An Shi said coldly, "I did not uncover the tiles."

"Why didn’t you?"

Fucheng said in a very low voice, exasperatedly walking back and forth.

An Shi ignored him.

"You should uncover the tiles and see what is happening inside. With this, we can know in advance if something happens to His Highness," rambled Fucheng.

An Shi naturally would not be fooled by this old tortoise. Earlier, he uncovered the tiles and needless to say, witnessed the scene inside. He knew Fucheng was a curious old man, so he would never say it out loud. If His Highness happened to find out that he revealed his private affairs, he would definitely bestow a harsh punishment upon him.

Consequently, An Shi became more aloof, as cold as ice.

But who was Fucheng? He wasn’t stupid. He was obviously familiar with An Shi’s character. As a shadow guard who protected Jin Wang on the side, it’s impossible for him not to be around Jin Wang.

Then there was only one reason—

"Did they do it?”

An Shi was about to leave.

"Tell me, please! Yes or no?"

The moment he turned around, he was caught by Fucheng, "You can't leave unless you tell me."

An Shi was annoyed. Thinking about the situation inside, what’s done is done. It should be considered a success, so he nodded.

Fucheng showed a smirk.

Yo, he didn’t expect the little nanny would have such good luck. She must be blessed by her ancestors.

His Highness finally found someone to sleep with.

***

As daylight broke, a faint wisp of light seeped into the room through the window.

It was still dark in the room.

On the bed, Jin Wang leaned halfway with his eyes squinted slightly, stroking Yaoniang's long hair under his palm. Yaoniang who lay down beside him had her eyes closed tightly, seeming to be asleep.

Suddenly, she reached out and pushed Jin Wang. However, she didn't get up and was still lying there. Her voice seemed to be squeezed out of her throat.

"Your Highness, it's time for you to leave. It’s not good to be seen by others."

Jin Wang did not speak.

Yaoniang was so disheartened that she couldn't wait to throw him out right away.

She felt that she was indeed asking for sin and suffering for herself last night. She only thought about not letting Jin Wang touch her body, but she solely forgot about Jin Wang’s shrewdness. She only served him twice, but she couldn’t tell whether her own hands and mouth were hers because they were so numb and sore.

"It will be difficult for me to stay for a long time if someone sees us. Your Highness promised me well last night." Yaoniang couldn't help but sit up.

The question is, will a man keep the word he said in bed?

Obviously, Yaoniang didn't understand this truth. She wanted to persuade Jin Wang to leave quickly, but Jin Wang, like a satisfied big cat who’s lying lazily and licking its paws and hairs from time to time, didn't plan to leave.

Yaoniang felt like crying.

Seeing her so anxious, Jin Wang thought of her effort last night and couldn’t bear to continue embarrassing her, so he sat up straight. He turned around only to see her sitting on her knees, wearing sandalwood underpants with a bright red string peeped out of the slender white jade-like neck, which reminded him of what happened last night.

She clenched her clothes tightly to prevent him from seeing, but, alas, she couldn't stop him with such a small strength. Jin Wang not only took a look at it, but he also had a bite of it.

He did not feel sick. On the contrary, it was heavenly.

Jin Wang, who was physically and mentally at ease, had an approachable complexion. In a good mood, he got off of the bed and put his outer shirt on.

Yaoniang didn't follow and just sat there with her head down.

She was supposed to serve him by helping Jin Wang get dressed, but she was not the concubine of Jin Wang. Yaoniang always kept this in mind, so she didn't make a move.

She waited for Jin Wang to leave, yet Jin Wang stood still in front of the bed with his eyes staring at her. She felt a little bit scared.

Yaoniang moistened her dry lips and was about to say something when suddenly a dark shadow cast over her head. The room was dark and before she could react, she felt something was being put on her ankle. Jin Wang then left right after.

When she heard the door close, her tense body was instantly relaxed. Subconsciously reaching out to touch her ankle, her fingers felt a cold sensation of a chain.

She lifted her trouser to look and saw a gold chain around her snow-white slender ankle. It was about one finger wide with a five-clawed golden dragon bound on it.

Yaoniang was startled.

She had seen this chain before and it was usually tied to Jin Wang's pouch. There must be something important in the pouch because Jin Wang never allowed anyone to touch it. Even when she served him personally in her previous life, she did not dare to touch it at will.

Later, in an unexpected situation, Yaoniang learned that something he held so securely in his pouch was his seal.

But why did he link this chain on her ankle?

Although Yaoniang wasn’t knowledgeable, she understood that the five-clawed golden dragon pattern couldn't be used randomly. According to the rules of the Dagan Dynasty, the five-clawed golden dragon was only accessible to the emperor and the princes.

What exactly did Jin Wang mean? Did he reward this to her because she served him well? Or was there something else? But even if he wanted to reward her, he should not give such a grandiose thing.

Yaoniang tried to unlock the gold chain but failed in her attempt. She tried to unfasten it again, yet the chain was as heavy as iron. She couldn't move it at all.

As a result, she had no choice but helplessly looking at the chain, which was particularly dazzling in the dim room. It took her a long time to return to her senses.
