C20 Fall into a Trap(1)

"It's so late, why are you running around the palace with a basket?" Human Devil's voice was slightly cold, as if she was separated like a young eunuch.

Yan Hongye was finally happy. She knelt on the ground and answered respectfully in a soft voice: "This servant is following Consort Yan's orders before going to bed, to go out to Royal Tomb to deliver some pastries to the various great guards."

"Yeah, Consort Yan is considerate." Human Devil seemed to be nodding.

"However, I just so happen to be hungry too, I can't be bothered to call for a midnight snack. The food of the Royal Tomb Protectors is not bad, there's no need for these pastries to be served, send them to the East Palace."

Yan Hongye was speechless. She clenched her fists as she laid on the ground. Her eyes were practically spitting fire as she stared at the pair of dragon boots in front of her.

In the next moment, Human Devil had already turned around, but after taking two steps, she realized that she did not follow him. Can't you hear me? "

"No …" This servant heard you, this servant will send it back to the Emperor right away. " Yan Hongye answered. She suddenly looked at Helian Jue, who had already walked away, and gritted her teeth.

&% $@) #% &...

She turned to look at the carriage that had left. She had missed the best opportunity. If she still wanted to run away now, she would be courting death.

He gritted his teeth, changed the angle of his hat, and took a deep breath.

"If I die, I die!" Damn it, where was she supposed to get him some pastries in the middle of the night?! Give him a basket of air to eat.

Yan Hongye stretched her waist and took a deep breath. Then, she lowered her head again and walked into the East Temple with her tail between her legs.

As soon as she entered the Eastern Palace Hall's study, she was about to stop, but when she saw Helian Jue put a sheepskin scroll on the table, she didn't stop. She casually extinguished the candle flame in the study and turned around to walk towards the hall within the Eastern Palace Hall.

Yan Hongye followed her step by step until he stopped in the bedroom, his back to her.

Yan Hongye lowered her head, her hands tightly holding the food basket. She saw his back was facing her as if he was removing the straps in front of his cloak. She thought that he had forgotten about her, so she could only silently stand behind him, waiting for her fate.

"Why aren't you talking?" Finally, Helian Jue took off his cloak and casually threw it on the table beside him. It was unknown if it was because Human Devil didn't have enough manpower in the palace that she changed her clothes, or if he didn't usually use human help like other emperors in the palace. When he turned around to look at her, his slender fingers were opening the front of his bright yellow dragon robe.

Yan Hongye's head drooped even lower as she knelt down. "Your Majesty, your servant is waiting for Your Majesty's orders …"

Helian Jue glanced at the basket beside her with a smile that wasn't a smile. He didn't go to break it apart and turned around to walk to the stone door behind the hall. He pressed the button and the stone door suddenly opened.

"Come in."

Helian Jue said that word and walked in alone.

Yan Hongye raised her eyes, curious about the place. After a moment of thought, she stood up and looked at the empty food basket on the ground. She did not pick it up, but instead jogged towards the stone door empty-handed.

However, just as she entered, the stone door closed behind her.
