Yun Zhi Yue had resolved the matter with Luo Bai and was planning to check on Ning Xin to see if she had awakened. She felt a sense of obligation to do so. Just as she took a step, a hand suddenly wrapped around her waist.
It turned out that the Emperor had indeed fallen victim to such tactics; in fantasies, the Consort was undeniably alluring, but Servant still preferred the real thing. The grip around her waist tightened as she was lifted and pressed onto the bed, leaving her no chance to resist. Her clothes tore apart.
Damn it, Luo Bai, you—
Were you trying to scold Servant for being reckless? Just vent your frustrations on the Consort and relax your body. Luo Bai bit her ear and sucked gently, causing Yun Zhi Yue's body to go numb as her strength faded away.
She could only cling to Luo Bai's arm and ask, "Where did you learn all this nonsense?"
Luo Bai held her tightly, making it hard for her to think clearly. During this disoriented moment, she heard a story.
When the Emperor had just ascended the throne, there was a favored concubine named Ling Fei. This woman came from a disreputable background; she was a genuine courtesan known for her beauty and exceptional skills in pleasing men. The Emperor's fondness for beautiful women had been evident since his days as a prince. It was unclear who introduced Ling Fei to him, but once she entered his life, things spiraled out of control.
Luo Bai was indeed Ling Fei's child, but he was not the Emperor's biological son. Despite Ling Fei's favor, the Emperor could not indulge her every day, which led her to become restless. She ended up pregnant with Luo Bai, and when the Emperor found out, he was furious. However, from the very beginning, Ling Fei had been unfaithful.
Fearing disgrace, the Emperor ordered that Ling Fei be given an abortion pill and cast into the Cold Palace without further concern. But coming from a background of courtesans, Ling Fei had many tricks up her sleeve; she managed to expel most of the abortion drug and kept Luo Bai alive, planning to use this illegitimate child to regain her status.
As long as the child was born, even if the Emperor knew he wasn't his biological son, he would have to acknowledge him for the sake of his reputation. Thus, Luo Bai was born by Ling Fei but suffered a disability due to that abortion pill—he was rendered impotent.
Seeing this outcome left Ling Fei utterly hopeless; she tormented Luo Bai daily, refusing to teach him the classics or proper morals while instead exposing him to lewd images and indecent tales. Although he didn't understand much at a young age, he instinctively felt disgusted. For a long time afterward, whether he saw men or women, he would feel nauseous.
By the time he turned ten, Ling Fei finally succumbed in the Cold Palace after enduring much hardship and even dragged Luo Bai down with her in death. A servant discovered a voodoo doll among her belongings; having been raised by Ling Fei all his life, Luo Bai's misfortunes seemed never-ending.
No one doubted his origins, after all, Ling Fei had been abusing him for quite some time. Everyone thought he was just a wild child of the palace maids, abandoned in the Cold Palace to fend for himself.
Since she was a consort of the Cold Palace, the Emperor didn’t want to stir up any trouble, so he ordered three hundred strokes of the rod for everyone involved.
It was during this time that Wen Ningmo met Luo Bai. He had been wandering around the Imperial Medical Institute since he was young. That day, while his father was checking the pulse of the palace consorts, he felt bored and wandered off, getting lost in the Cold Palace.
He encountered Luo Bai, who was about his age and barely clinging to life after being beaten. In his youth, he didn’t have many thoughts; he hastily used his not-so-skilled silver needles to save a friend he had known for many years.
Later, Luo Bai was taken under the wing of an old eunuch and became a servant, starting with the dirtiest and most exhausting tasks. Born in the palace, even though he lived in the Cold Palace, he was surrounded by towering palaces, and everything he saw was a reflection of power and status.
He was unwilling to remain just a lowly eunuch crawling on the ground; slowly, he began plotting to rise up.
Through coercion or framing others, he held onto many people's secrets and planned an assassination. Of course, he didn’t truly want to kill the Emperor; he merely wanted to make a name for himself. After saving the Emperor’s life and surviving, it was only natural that he became a favored figure by the Emperor’s side.
Yet he remained unsatisfied.
Without a stitch of clothing on her body, Yun Zhi Yue leaned weakly against Luo Bai and sighed, "Bai, do you want to be Emperor?"
