Watching the retreating figures of the three, Ming Xiting was left in a state of shock that was hard to describe. It wasn't until they disappeared around the corner that he finally sat down on the ground in a daze.
Seeing this, Su Ye hurried over, concern etched on his face. "Young Master, what are you doing?"
At that moment, as he drew closer, Su Ye, being Zhong Yong's attendant, caught a whiff of Ming Xiting's Xin Xiang. Counting the days, it was indeed time for the Young Master's monthly Rain Dew Period.
He immediately said, "Young Master, you should go back inside. You can't be out of bed during your Rain Dew Period."
Ming Xiting turned to look at him with vacant eyes.
A quarter of an hour later, Ming Xiting was firmly kept in his room by Su Ye and the maids and servants, not allowing even a fly to enter.
Last month, Ming Xiting had been maliciously triggered into his Rain Dew Period by someone using Xin Xiang. In desperation, he jumped into the river. Although the doctor said there was no major issue, Ming Zhao still worried and instructed the household servants to be extra careful with Ming Xiting.
This was also Ming Xiting's first experience of the violent nature of the Rain Dew Period. He moved slightly and felt something leak from a certain sensitive area.
Startled, Ming Xiting quickly called out to Su Ye, "Su Ye, I think my hemorrhoids have flared up."
Su Ye looked at Ming Xiting in shock, thinking that the fall into the river must have affected his mind. How could the Young Master start talking nonsense? It was normal to have such reactions during the Rain Dew Period; why mention hemorrhoids?
However, adhering to his excellent servant attitude, Su Ye promptly took out a cloth bag resembling a menstrual pad and handed it to Ming Xiting. "Young Master, you can use this; it will help ease your discomfort. Or this one will work too; both can provide relief."
Ming Xiting was stunned. He stared at Su Ye as he nonchalantly produced an item without any hint of shame. His mind felt like it had crashed.
After an unknown amount of time passed, he finally pointed at the item and said, "I already have one of those; why are you bringing this? Are you suggesting..."
Suddenly, in a hidden place, a surge of energy erupted, waves of heat washing over him. Ming Xiting felt a warmth spreading throughout his body, accompanied by a strong scent of apricot blossoms that seemed to ignite a fire within him.
Su Ye was taken aback; usually, the young master relied on this method and adamantly refused to use the Hidden Fragrance Pill, claiming that prolonged use would turn him into a subpar Kun Ze. Therefore, to endure less suffering during the Rain Dew Period, he relied on these tools for assistance.
"Get out!" If Ming Xiting still didn't understand what the Rain Dew Period was, he would be a fool.
He hurriedly pushed Su Ye out and began to contemplate Ye Chen's words. Indeed, this world was vastly different from the one he knew; even the structure of humanity was bizarre.
Men could actually give birth.
Thinking of the little boy that Ye Chen had just given birth to, Ming Xiting tightened his lips and bit down on his lower lip to suppress any shameful gasps that might escape.
Glancing at a certain unbelievable part of his lower body, an idea suddenly struck him. Could this be what they called "Aunt Flo"?
Lou Yu had been feeling quite irritable lately.
His irritation reached a peak when Princess Changyu arrived, and he sent her away without so much as a pleasant expression.
Although Princess Changyu was not Lou Yu's biological sister, they grew up together as cousins and were as close as siblings. Therefore, once Lou Yu ascended to the throne, he granted Princess Huaiyang's Lou Yan the title of Eldest Princess with significant power. However, this also allowed Lou Yan to taste the sweetness of power and begin to meddle in his affairs.
At such times, Lou Yu would discreetly signal for Lou Yan to leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Yet Lou Yan had been by his side through thick and thin in the capital; how could she not understand his intentions? She thought Lou Yu wanted to discard her like an old tool and began to weep before him, lamenting how their father had passed away early and she hadn't taken good care of him.
This led to her starting up again about how Lou Yu had been emperor for three months now without taking a consort or selecting a wife—how could that be?
This time, Lou Yan had conspired with several ministers, determined to persuade Lou Yu to choose a consort and secure an heir. After all, which emperor throughout history had reached such an age without even having a Kun Ze or lover? It was hard not to raise suspicions about their emperor's sexual orientation.
Lou Yan was well aware of the situation. She placed the latest portraits of suitable Kun Ze selected by the Imperial Household Department in front of Lou Yu, who was busy reviewing memorials, and said with concern, “Lao Yu, these are all beautiful and gentle Kun Ze. Choose a few to silence those ministers. Do you know what they are saying about you behind your back? You still seem indifferent. Have you not forgotten about Liu Chen, who has already passed away?”
At that time, Lou Yan was unaware that Lou Yu had secretly allowed Pei Guanjing and Ye Chen to leave, so she believed both of them were dead.
The mention of those two names felt like a taboo. Lou Yu closed the memorial, his expression calm, but a storm brewed in his eyes as he coldly replied, “Elder Sister, you have overstepped.”
Lou Yan smiled dismissively and continued to persuade him, “Lao Yu, stop being willful. Marrying a few Kun Ze is for your own good. At your age, who doesn’t have a few children? How can you be the only one who remains untouched? Moreover, you are the emperor. It was understandable when you were fighting wars alone, but now you are the founding emperor—there’s no precedent for an emperor with an empty harem. Those gossiping ministers may bow to you publicly, but privately they say… they say you have a hidden ailment!”
Lou Yu’s eyelids twitched violently as he realized how he was perceived by his subjects and within the palace.
After receiving Pei Guanjing’s tiger talisman, Lou Yu had begun to command the troops that once belonged to Tianqi. Some feudal lords had perished in the struggle for power, while others were merely insignificant remnants. Lou Yu turned a blind eye and allowed them to continue paying tribute without further conflict.
After more than a decade of war, it was time for the people of this land to recuperate.
“Did you hear that?” Lou Yan resumed her lecturing.
Lou Yu merely nodded in response to appease her. Seeing this, Lou Yan became so infuriated with her unyielding brother that she stormed off.
Lou Yu watched her leave, his gaze darkening.
It seemed he had given her too much power after all.
