From Eunuch to Eminence: Aiden's Tale Chapter 10

Aiden Shao raised her hand and held Vivienne Guan's wrist.

Her face flushed red in an instant as her neck was being strangled, and the corners of her eyes also turned red.

She didn't know why the queen suddenly treated her like this. She had clearly not felt that this woman was hostile towards her during these days in the queen's palace.

She even pondered in her mind whether she should reveal all her cards now, whether she should tell the queen about her origins and the insignificant prophet of this world.

In exchange for the chance to survive.

But she didn't want to take this step. She didn't want to reveal all her cards unless it was absolutely necessary.

If she told anyone here about her origins, her chances of death would be greater.

There was even a pleading look in her eyes, and she didn't know why she had angered the queen.

The look in Vivienne Guan's eyes became colder and colder. She looked at the person in front of her coldly and pleaded with herself.

Her heart softened even faster than her thoughts.

To be fair, up to now, Aiden Shao has not done anything wrong to her.

She even reduced her kneeling penalty.

What she is doing now is just because she is confused and wants to cut the roots.

Vivienne Guan gradually lightened the strength of her hands, but she did not completely let go of Aiden Shao. She took two steps forward, still holding Aiden Shao's wrist with one hand and pinching Aiden Shao's neck with the other hand. She leaned forward and put her red lips close to Aiden Shao's ear.

She lowered her eyes and saw Aiden Shao's earlobe. The earlobe was round and small, with a slight red tint, just like her, as if it would break if pinched.

Vivienne Guan looked away, restrained her deep breath, and whispered to Aiden Shao in a voice that only the two of them could hear, suppressing the emotion deep in her voice that could not be seen by others, and said: "I don't know who you are, but don't try to hide it from me. One day, I will be able to find out everything about you. In my hands, you will always be like an ant. I can kill you at any time."

Aiden Shao couldn't help swallowing again, her larynx rolled slightly, brushing across Vivienne Guan's thumb.

Vivienne Guan used all her strength to suppress the urge to bite her fragile neck.

She forcibly pulled herself away from Aiden Shao and suppressed the desire to abuse her.

She is the most dignified and noble queen, and such thoughts should not appear in her mind.

The voices in the inner room had reached their final frenzy.

Then the emperor sighed, obviously extremely satisfied.

Vivienne Guan and Aiden Shao both breathed a sigh of relief.

All this torture is finally over.

But the emperor in the inner room was leaning on the bed. Even though he had just had fun with the two little Concub!nes, he still felt that it was not enough, as if something was empty in his heart.

At this moment, what flashed through his mind was not Aiden Shao's face that filled him with pity, but the dignified and noble appearance of the Queen.

In her early years, the queen was actually very young.

The queen at that time was not as proper as she is now, and was sometimes shy.

He had liked the queen for quite some time, otherwise how could the queen have given birth to two children so smoothly in those early years?

All because of his favor.

Today he missed the queen a little.

Today was supposed to be the day he visited the Queen.

The emperor is the most noble person in the world. Who can deny him what he wants?

"Queen, come in." Without any hesitation, the emperor called out to the queen who was about to go out.

When Vivienne Guan heard him call her like that, she felt infinite disgust in her heart.

She was already extremely upset, and now she even wanted to kill the emperor.

But she couldn't do that. In the former dynasty and the harem, who could really live so freely?

Even the emperor has to hand over his beloved to him, doesn't he?

The queen frowned, as if determined to die, and walked towards the inner room.

Aiden Shao was an adult, so of course she knew what the emperor's call meant.

The entire Imperial Medical Bureau was responsible for providing for the emperor, and he had quite a few little pills on him.

It was obvious that he did not have enough fun and wanted to take the queen to spend the night with him again.

Aiden Shao also knew that the Queen did not want to spend a night of love with the Emperor, otherwise why would she call those two young Concub!nes to play cards with her.

How could she possibly stand in this outer room and endure the emperor's humiliation?

It was even more impossible that her steps were so heavy as she walked into the inner room.

Aiden Shao looked at the queen's back and felt a touch of pity in her heart again.

The women in the harem really have a hard life.

But this woman just wanted to kill herself.

But what if she is the heroine?

In the end, that tiny bit of pity and the rationality of planning for the future made Aiden Shao follow the queen into the inner room.

The queen listened to the footsteps coming from behind her and seemed to understand something.

I just don't know whether this person will do as she wishes or report her to the emperor.

The two of them came to the inner room. When the emperor saw them, he kicked the two little Concub!nes off the bed, then gave a provocative smile to the queen and Aiden Shao.

The smile was extremely frivolous, as if the people standing in front of him were not his personal eunuch and his wife, but two top prostitutes in a brothel.

After a moment, the emperor's eyes fell on Aiden Shao's neck and he asked her in surprise: "Why is your neck red? Who pinched it?"

After saying this, he looked at the queen, his eyes were no longer as gentle as before.

Aiden Shao lowered her head: "I pinched it myself."

Vivienne Guan lowered her eyebrows and her eyes moved slightly.

Aiden Shao said: "I wanted to cough just now, but I was afraid of disturbing the emperor's interest, so I had to hold it in. I accidentally coughed a little too hard, and maybe it left a mark, but I am fine, your majesty, don't worry."

The emperor then relaxed his expression and raised his chin slightly towards Vivienne Guan: "Queen, come and serve."

Vivienne Guan's body stiffened uncontrollably.

Aiden Shao, who was beside her, could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere emanating from her.

Even though this woman had just attacked him.

But Aiden Shao didn't want to see a dignified and noble woman like the queen being bullied by a Sc*m like the emperor in front of her.

She suddenly raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and a soft sob came from the depths of her throat.

Her eyes were stained red because of the Queen's actions just now, and the redness has not faded yet. There are also shallow finger marks on her neck. Now she looks at the Emperor so fragile and helpless, as if she has suffered a great injustice.

She opened her mouth, but words were stuck in her throat.

Eventually, emotion overcame this usually cautious woman, and the emperor saw her sobbing and behaving coquettishly to him: "Your Majesty, do you want to summon the queen to sleep with you?"

The innocence in her tone was particularly heartbreaking.

Not to mention the emperor, even the queen beside her felt as if her heart was being squeezed by a hand, and even breathing became difficult after hearing these words.

At this moment, Vivienne Guan's guess was confirmed halfway.

The voice and tone of Aiden Shao's words just now were much softer than when she usually spoke. The ending of the tone was a little soft, like hot spring water flowing in front of one's body, which could actually make one feel numb.

The emperor was even more unable to resist.

Only at this moment did he suddenly feel a little bit of the deep affection that he had previously been proud of.

Yes, sleeping with these little Concub!nes or the palace maids around them is different from sleeping with the queen.

The queen is the mother of a country. She is his legal wife and a person of high status among the Concub!nes.

If he slept with the queen, he would be giving face to the queen.

He always claimed that he loved Aiden Shao deeply and would never favor any other woman in the harem again.

Any woman in the harem he referred to was a Concub!ne like the queen who had a certain status in the harem.

Instead of these little Concub!nes and palace maids who didn't care about sleeping with them.

Moreover, his Yin'er is still in the Queen's palace. If he visits the Queen and gives her face, what will he do if the Queen secretly bullies his Yin'er?

But he just couldn't get rid of the anger in his heart.

If he were in his own palace, he might really not be able to control himself and force Yin'er to have S3x with him.

But this is in the Queen's Palace.

He could humiliate the Queen like he did today, but if he dared to have anything happen with Yin'er in front of the Queen, the Queen might fight him to the death and take Yin'er's life.

And Yin'er's true identity cannot be revealed.

A child of an official disguised as a eunuch and came to the emperor is despicable.

He couldn't bear to part with his own Yin'er, so he was caught by the Queen and died tragically at her hands.

The emperor was moved by his deep affection, and finally waved his hand to let the two go out. He then asked the two little Concub!nes, who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time and were shivering with cold, to go back to bed.

Aiden Shao and the Queen can leave this time.

Aiden Shao, however, felt that there was no place for her.

She just wanted to go back to her little room as soon as possible and have a good rest.

But the queen did not let her leave. The two of them walked out of the room and stood outside the courtyard.

The bright moonlight shone down, the cold wind blew, and the queen's dress fluttered in the wind.

Vivienne Guan's eyes fell on the red mark on Aiden Shao's neck, thinking about what she had just done, and whispered: "Follow me back to the palace."

Aiden Shao had no choice but to follow the Queen's steps.

The two returned to the hall, where the candlelight was bright.

Aiden Shao lowered her head, thinking about the chance of survival between her and the Queen.

Unexpectedly, the queen did not continue to torture her this time. Instead, she approached her again and asked her in a low voice: "I want your life, why are you still helping me?"

"How dare you be so bold as to do what I had in mind just now? How dare you stop the Emperor from favoring me?"

Because she really couldn't bear to see such a woman being abused by the emperor.

Aiden Shao lowered her head and said nothing more.

There was no way I could say this.

She looked at the person in front of her and raised her hand again.

In the candlelight, her hand was exceptionally slender, with distinct knuckles and a long, slender body. It was a very beautiful hand.

The hand rose again, pinched her chin, and forced her to lift her head.

Aiden Shao raised her eyes and looked at the queen.

She herself did not realize that, deep within her eyes, which sparkled like the surface of a lake, was a pitiful fragility.

It was her fragility and helplessness under this imperial power.

It is her fragility that comes from not knowing the direction of her future.

It is the misery of having your own life in the hands of others and being at their mercy.
