Ch54.2; Thoughts

The guard moved forward and opened the door as the maids came near. He looked at them briefly and just kept the door open for them. As the maids entered the room, he quietly closed the door behind them.

Inside the Queen's room, it was as usual. They quickly scanned the room—the queen sat in a chair by the bed, her back straight, her white hair hung on her shoulders, with water droplets trickling down her neck and soaking into her new robe.

Her eyes were showing a hint of irritation.

The maids bowed and said, "Your Highness," in a respectful manner.

Zhang Lian's expression remained expressionless as she cast a bitter glance at them. "Hurry and clean the bed," she commanded. I want to take a nap.

After pausing for a while, the maids eventually noticed the state of the bed.

The silk sheets were wrinkled and wet, with white marks clearly visible against the red fabric and sex smell lingered in the air.

One maid, thought *Did the queen…* Her mind raced, trying to understand what she was witnessing.

The idea that their lovely queen had taken part in such a private moment was hard to take in. She looked at Zhang Lian, her eyes full of questions and surprise. Who? she thought. Who could it be, especially since all the concubines were dismissed?

Another maid shared a quick look with her fellow maid, having the same thoughts.

Lan noticed Zhang Lian's calm expression as she turned her attention from the untidy bed. It occurred to her who might be involved in this.

Her mind wandered to the boy for whom the queen had requested that she set up a room.

Lan thought about that ugly boy with a mixture of amazement and disgust. She felt like throwing up just thinking about him.

Why would the queen select a person of his standard? It was beyond Lan's comprehension why Zhang Lian would associate with someone so unattractive.

Lan kept a neutral face, but her eyes revealed her disdain. She wondered if there was a larger plan she was unaware of.

However, the thought of the queen behaving in such a manner disgusted her. What in the world could the queen like about him? She felt more uneasy as this question kept repeating in her thoughts.

Zhang Lian shouted loudly "What are all of you looking at?" The maids came back to their senses "Make it clean. Right now. I want to take a rest.

With a fast nod, the maids hurried to the bed to do their tasks and spare the queen any further agitation.

With blank looks, they worked together silently as they neatly removed the dirty bedding and put clean, new ones in their place. They also quickly pick the dirty clothes lying around the room.

When they were done, the maids arranged the unclean clothes and sheets into an orderly pile.

The Queen's voice struck the silence as they were ready to go. She stood up and added, "Remember, you must not speak of this."

The maids hesitated and gave a swift nod in understanding. "Yes, Your Highness," they said in low tones.

Gradually, both the maids left the room; one went to the laundry to wash the sheets and towels, while the other went to the kitchens to make meals for the queen.

Both of them were curious about this guy, though. As usual, Lan stayed back to help the queen if she needed anything.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Guo sat quietly in the carriage, looking out the window as it bumped along the stone roads to Minister Hu's mansion.

The ride lasted an hour,

When they finally got there, the guard with him stepped out first, adjusting his yellow robes before going to the entrance.

At the gates of Minister Hu's home, two guards stood with serious faces. The guard escorting Chen Gou spoke clearly, "His Highness has ordered that this boy be taken back to Minister Hu."

The gate guards looked at Chen Gou, their faces showing slight disgust. They recognized him as the same boy they had seen earlier, looking ugly.

One guard told them "Stay here for a while, I will immediately inform Master Hu," then turned and walked inside.

He hurried through the main hall and into the inner halls, where he found a servant and shared the message.

The servant nodded and went away knowing exactly where to find Minister Hu—he was in the room of Lady Mei, one of his favorite concubines.

The servant approached Minister Hu's door carefully. Inside, he could hear moaning sounds of pleasure, suggesting he was interrupting a private moment.

He hesitated for a moment before raising his hand and giving the door a hard knock.

Inside, Minister Hu was leaning over Lady Mei, his body tight as he was about to climax.

With her eyes half closed and her cheeks flushed with pleasure, she lay below him.

Minister Hu was pressing back and forth while her legs enclosed his waist, her back was touching the bed, and her large breasts jiggled as he continued to Move.

She was moaning ah ah ah,

Feeling the pressure building toward her own release. Just as Minister Hu was ready to launch deeply, a knock at the door shattered the moment.

Minister Hu paused, pulling his big rod out with a frustrated frown on his face.

Lady Mei moaned softly, her body trembling from the sudden movement. She had been so close to climax and now everything felt ruined.

With a ugly expression, Minister Hu said "Damn it," he muttered quietly. He looked at Lady Mei, who sighed and sat up, her eyes showing her annoyance.

She moved to help him get dressed, her gentle hands quickly smoothing his robe over his broad shoulders and big body.

With an annoyed look at the door, Minister Hu tightened his robe's belt and strode over, opening the door with more force than needed. He found a servant standing there, head down and eyes on the floor.

"What is it?" Minister Hu snapped, his voice sharp with impatience.

The servant hurriedly delivered the message from the guards, saying that the Chen Gou had been sent back by the queen's order.

Minister Hu listened carefully. He had just become a servant of the queen, and now this boy was back after making the queen pregnant. Is this too soon?

He nodded and said sharply, to the servant. "Tell Lin Moa to take care of it. Have him send the boy back home."

Minister He waved his hand dismissing the servant. He wasn't in the mood to deal with this now, especially today.

With a nod, the servant left and slowly shut the door.

Minister Hu paused inside for a while, his mind spinning. This worm needs to be removed; I can't let that evil bitch control me.

With a heavy sigh, he turned back to face Lady Mei, who was still sitting on the side of the bed in her undies. Her eyes were still full of a desire as she smiled softly up at him.

Minister He took off his robe and let it fall on the ground. His eyes locked on hers as he walked over to the bed.
