Ming Lan sat up straight and watched in amazement as Gu Yunxi stood up the stick, poking the round head of the stick in front of his eyes.

"My little darling, this is... not for hitting."

"Puff!" He also found it very funny. Lying on the bed sideways, Ming Lan covered his face with one hand and spread his fingers to cover his helpless expression.

Gu Yunxi's back was tingled with laughter, so she withdrew the stick, turned it around in her hand, and looked at it carefully.

The stick was about a foot long and about two inches wide, with a hazy, smoky sheen budding from the sun.

Holding in hand, it did not feel like cold jade, but it was smooth and oily and felt warm and delicate. It looked like a precious jade material.

But it was so ugly!

"What the hell is this?"

Gu Yunxi muttered with disgust on her face and looked at Ming Lan. From the other side of the bed, he rolled his eyes contemptuously and snorted, "Gu Yunxi, don't pretend not knowing it! Having been with Leng Qingtang for a long time, don't you know what this is? "

He sneered. Gu Yunxi raised her head proudly, with the stick horizontal to the palm of her hand. While beating, she said to herself, "I am diligent, sweet, and clever in doing things. How could my master be willing to hit me with such a thick, long, and ugly stick?"

For a moment, Ming Lan's voice could not be heard.

Gu Yunxi was surprised and hurriedly took back her arrogant expression. She turned her head to meet Ming Lan's cold and dangerous eyes.

She saw Ming Lan get up from the bed and look at her tightly with an aggressive look.

"What do you want to do?"

Gu Yunxi's delicate facial expression showed her panic, and her heart beat faster at the moment, making a mess.

Her hands clasping to the stick trembled slightly, and her eyes were bright and sharp.

"Don't come over. Otherwise, I promise to use it to hit you all over the floor!"

The weapon was snatched away by the other side and discarded at will.

Evanescently, his fine, unpretentious appearance, burst forth before her eyes and stretched it to the maximum in the middle of her vision.

Gu Yunxi was stunned. She moved to retreat, but her chin was pinched firmly by two slender fingertips.

Ignoring her pain to make her complexion even worse, and disregarding the low whisper from her mouth, he gazed at her exquisite little face, unmoving for a while.

His brows were lightly furrowed, and the bitter color melted into a pair of eyes, like a flood of spring water, faintly filled with imperceptible pleasure and love.

"Should I say that I found the treasure?"

Looking at Gu Yunxi deeply, Ming Lan curled his lips as if he was smiling and muttered in a low voice. He looked like a drunk person. His eyes suddenly dissipated at this moment, timid and vague, but ethereal, which made people afraid to look directly.

"Lord Ming, can you just let me go?"

Gu Yunxi only felt that her jaw was pinched to numbness, and subconsciously raised her hand to hold the white wrist in front of her, and begged him bitterly.

Ming Lan immediately let go of her.

Gu Yunxi rubbed her chin desperately and swore, "You're mad! What the hell are you doing? "

It was said that the eunuchs were narrow-minded and moody. Because of their physical disability, most eunuchs had dark and perverted hearts, and they were most likely to torture people with strange tricks.

It was true when it came to Ming Lan.

Compared with him, the Master Leng of the Eastern Depot was not such a person at all.

Master Leng was also a eunuch, but in him, Gu Yunxi always felt a modest gentleman's demeanor that only gentlemen possessed and the masculine boldness.

Thinking of the azure blue figure of him, Gu Yunxi was completely plunged into endless lovesickness and grief, unable to extricate herself.

"He had got the antidote. Should he wake up?" she thought.

"Master, Master Leng, I want to go back to you!"

Her eyes were sore and slightly misty.

"No, I can't sit still and await destruction!"

"Maybe the Master has not recovered yet and couldn't come to rescue me. I have to find a way to escape from Ming Palace as soon as possible."

Gu Yunxi lowered her head and secretly thought, and the drooping black pressed eyelashes blocked the radiance of the clear eyes.

On the opposite side, Ming Lan watched her quietly and slowly stretched out his hand, gently rubbing her cheek with the cold fingertips, inserting her silk hair, clenching and clenching hard.

"I want to... spoil you like him. Would you?"

He suddenly asked, gazing straight into her eyes, and his lingering, meandering voice came out clearly from the lips and teeth that used to rattle out cold thin words.

The girl in front of him was unbelievable, and her wide, clear eyes were filled with shock and surprise.

She thought that the person holding her heart was her secret at this moment, and no one could see through her trivial matters.

It happened to be him!

The bright and dying light of that pair of eyes pierced her heart like a sword and took her mind in his full grasp.

Between the two opposing eyes, the pair of misty eyes turned like clouds across the horizon, so dim that it was impossible to see clearly.

Only a lapse, the cold palm loosened the hair, and it came to the back of her head and held it gently.

"Pussycat, I love you so much..."

Ming Lan spoke slowly in a dumb voice as if trying to suppress certain emotions.

His face was inching forwards.

"Lord Ming!"

The girl realized what he's trying to do, and she was frightened. She put her arms on his shoulders and tried to stop the kiss.

He, who had been rejected many times, looked at this moment like a deep cold pool frozen in the cold and terrible.

She felt a sudden chill in her heart as she noticed the change in his mood.

She couldn't provoke Ming Lan at the moment. Otherwise, she didn't know what unorthodox methods he would use to deal with her.

With the brilliance in her eyes, Gu Yunxi pursed her lips, smiling softly and charmingly, "Lord Ming, I'm hungry."

She looked at him and whispered timidly, her eyes twinkling.

Ming Lan looked dazed, and his resentment was immediately reduced.

It was noon, and it was time to have lunch.

The little girl had soaked in the bath and accompanied him for a while, so her belly must be empty!

Ming Lan supported her on the top of her head and stroked down her hair. He said vaguely with a smile, "I'm hungry too. I'll let the servants prepare the meal. You and I will eat together and continue."

Gu Yunxi felt that Lord Ming of today was so strange, and it was not like the Lord Ming of the past.

But she couldn't say it in words.

Ming Lan walked to the door, vaguely heard the noise outside the door, and frowned.

The door opened quickly, and a cluster of little eunuchs rolled over the threshold like shrimps.

"What are you doing?"

Ming Lan asked with a solemn face, and his body was chilling as if to spread the grievances of unsuccessful deeds on these people.

The little eunuchs stood up with their hats in their hands, looking frightened and speechless.

Ming Lan lifted the foot to kick in a person's buttocks and shrieked loudly, "At what hour do you want me to starve to death without preparing lunch?"

The man in pain was full of smiles, and he greeted him, "Master, please calm down. I'll let them prepare."

"Go! Pick up the delicious food and bring it to the room. I will have lunch with Miss Yun and prepare a jar of good fruit wine."

"Yes. yes."

The little eunuch took the order while swinging his sleeve, indicating several accomplices with him to evacuate.

When Ming Lan drove away the person who was in the way, he was not ashamed or embarrassed and moved towards the bed.

Gu Yunxi hid at the end of the bed and shouted, "As you say, after dinner. The rank-second official should keep your word!"

Ming Lan nodded with his arms akimbo, and said with a smile, "Well, I'll see what you have to say when you fill up later!"

At the moment, he was in ecstasy.

"Little monster, I'll feed you first. If I don't have a good time on the bed later, I'll write my last name backward." he thought.

Soon, several eunuchs filled the table with chicken, duck, and fish, accompanied by a pot of peach blossom wine.

Ming Lan invited Gu Yunxi to sit at the table.

Gu Yunxi glanced down and frowned.

"These again, I'm tired of eating them!"

Ming Lan hold her arms and coaxed with a smile, "What would you like to eat? How about I sending someone to the Zuixian restaurant to buy some food and bring it back? "

Gu Yunxi smiled, and her eyes flashed with delicate light, "Master forgets that I am a chef. I've been cooped up in this room for so long that it's time to practice my skills. Master, I will go into the kitchen shortly and make something delicious for you myself." she said.

...

Ming Lan was silent, her expression unnatural. It wasn't long before the house was quiet, and this little monster shouldn't do anything earth-shattering.

Gu Yunxi knew that Ming Lan was very unhappy, so she pouted her pink cherry nipples, pretending to be displeased, "Hum! It's you who take advantage of me. I can't make a single request. I'm not going to eat this meal." she complained.

She dropped her chopsticks and got up but was held by a cold hand.

"Well, well, you can do what you like."

The so-called "It’s easier to raise the devil than to lay them." Ming Lan now had a thorough understanding of this ancient saying.

He called a little eunuch with Gu Yunxi to the kitchen patiently. Besides showing her the way, there was the purpose of watching her every move.

Gu Yunxi followed the eunuch to the kitchen and let him dismiss the extra servants and leave the vast space for her to use alone.

Gu Yunxi recognized the little Lord who supervised her.

In the beginning, she and Master Leng were sent to the central prison to suffer, and the man who sent them to the Court of Judicial Review was this eunuch of the Western Depot.

The little eunuch stared at Gu Yunxi, rolling up her cuffs, washing the dishes, and kneading dough. Although she was busy, she looked calm and treated Ming’s Mansion as her own casual.

The small eunuch looked slippery. He rolled black eyes and talked with Gu Yunxi with a smile, "Miss Yun, our master is excellent. You can treat this mansion as your own home. Just talk to me if you need something."

"I know I have known the Master for a long time, and of course I do at will."

After listening to what she said, the little eunuch was very happy, because there was a way!

"Miss Yun, you have figured it out? Are you willing to follow our master?"

With a wicked look, he looked at the girl's delicate facial features with an affectionate smile, and he cautiously probed.

Gu Yunxi kneaded the dough and answered lightly,

"Of course! I'm willing to follow him."

The little eunuch opened his eyes in surprise, and his eyes were sparkling, "Really?"

“Of course, it's real!”

Gu Yunxi tilted her head to say with certainty. She stopped the work on the hand and turned her head to look at the small eunuch.

The two squinted smiling eyes seemed to lie in a stream of spring water. They were shining and charming.

"Thank you for your advice. Now I have figured out that although the Commanders-in-chiefs of the Eastern and Western Depot are important officials in the imperial court, Master Ming is superior to Master Leng in terms of talent, learning, and appearance.

Besides, he is in his right time, and I am not stupid. Naturally, I should choose Master Ming."

Gu Yunxi was good at pleasing, so she coaxed the little eunuch to smile, "It's all right to think so. From now on, we are a family. Don't be polite to me and just call me Nian."

"Yes, Eunuch Nian!" Gu Yunxi drooped her eyes and gave him a salute.

The little eunuch hurried to help her up, "Oh, please don't do that. I will be your servant from now on."

The little eunuch had other plans in mind.

Asking the thoughts of Gu Yunxi, it was best to be willing to follow Master Ming. Later, when he was alone with the Master, he could use this to claim credit and explain to the Master that she agreed to change her mind after some persuasion from him.

"In this way, perhaps the Master, when pleased, will give him a good reward."

The little eunuch, who was happily imagining a good thing, suddenly smelled an extremely pungent smell.

He sneezed and coughed hard for a long time. On the other end, the half of Gu Yunxi's face under her nose was wrapped tightly by the half-wet face mask, and her eyes sparkled with tears by the smell.

She was intentional, but she also pretended to be nervous and concerned. "What's the matter? Did I cut the green Onions and choke you?"
