Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 152 - 152: Loyal Maid Who Died Because of Beauty (22)

Li Xin, ranked lower than Yue Ran, was titled Consort Li; Yi Lin (Yi Yan) had the same status as Li Xin and was titled Consort Yi; Hui Na, who has a pretty good relationship with the female protagonist, was titled Concubine Hui; Bai Fen was titled Noble Lady Jin; and as for the rest of the concubines, they were ranked the first class attendant and the second class attendant, respectively.

When Yi Lin knew that she was only titled a concubine and that Yue Ran actually ranked a level higher than herself, she swept all the things on her dressing table to the ground in a fit of anger. Her blood was boiling in her veins.

She was so angry!

"Why is that vixen, Yue Ran, ranked on top of me?" Yi Lin asked in rage. "Do I have to salute that vixen from now on and in the future? How could this be? Why are things like this? It was all Yue Ran's fault!"

…

The East Chamber of Warmth

Yue Ran was living in the Hall of Joyful Longevity and thus had dined in the East Chamber of Warmth, the dining hall here, with Lu Heng.

Now that Yue Ran's position had been determined, it was inappropriate for Lu Heng to stay here any longer.

"Ran Ran, I cannot bear to leave you so far away," Lu Heng said. "How about I ask the palace servants to repair the Palace of Celestial Favor before you move there alone?"

The Palace of Celestial Favor is one of the six Eastern palaces of the Forbidden City, located in the eastern interior annexes where most of the past emperors' most beloved concubines live.

But how could Yue Ran agree to this? Just as she was about to refuse the young man, Pei He came in. He had just walked around the six Eastern palaces to read the imperial decree in turn.

"Your Majesty, this servant has finished reading the imperial decree for the master of the six palaces," Lu Heng said with a lowered head.

Pei He, who was supposed to have a bright future and was supposed to be the future youngest prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, has fallen to where he is today. His body had been "cleansed" (castrated) as Lu Heng had ordered, and he had now become an eunuch.

Ruan Ruan: The Master is so scary to be able to turn the youngest prime minister-to-be with a bright future into an eunuch with no future. The male supporting character was no longer a real man, just like that. How pitiful. However, Master is more awesome to be able to do something like this so easily! Wow!

Yue Ran: Naturally. But the abuse has yet to come.

"Hmm, well done," Lu Heng replied carelessly. He no longer felt as vigilant with Pei He as he did at first, since Pei He was no longer a real man anyway, so what could he do with Yue Ran? Nothing.

Yue Ran looked at Pei He, who was prostrating on the ground at this moment, and her eyes unconsciously turned hot with her clenching heart. After all, she was the one who had hurt him; she was the one who had implicated him, the most innocent person.

Lu Heng kept staring at Yue Ran's expressions all the time.

And all he saw was that Yue Ran's eyes, from the start to the end, had always stuck to Pei He's figure from the moment Pei He came into the room. This made Lu Heng feel very angry.

Since Pei He was castrated as Lu Heng had ordered, Pei He has always stayed by Lu Heng's side as his (Lu Heng's) eunuch all the time in order for Lu Heng to humiliate him (Pei He) in front of Yue Ran.

But whenever Pei He was there, Yue Ran's eyes would always unconsciously fall on that young man's figure. Maybe Yue Ran herself did not even know about it, but Lu Heng, who was always paying attention to the young girl, saw it and knew about it, which made him feel resentful and jealous of Pei He.

"Ran Ran, what are you looking at?" Lu Heng asked.

Hearing Lu Heng speak in such a tone, Yue Ran knew what was going to happen next.

Although Lu Heng was reluctant and distressed to hurt Yue Ran himself, that does not mean that he would show the same mercy to her on the bed.

"Nothing," Yue Ran quickly replied with dodging eyes.

"Good, then I will believe you, Ran Ran," Lu Heng said. He then shifted his gaze to Pei He and ordered, "Pei He, you go and kneel behind that screen."

Lu Heng pointed to the screen not far away, and Pei He glanced at Yue Ran with a pair of worried eyes. He could already guess one or two things about what was going to happen next, and he could not help but be worried for Yue Ran instead of caring for himself.

"Yes," Pei He replied and went to kneel behind the screen, as Lu Heng had ordered.

Lu Heng picked Yue Ran up from the stool and walked to the bed, ignoring the young girl's struggle to escape from him in his arms.

"Your Majesty, do not do this, okay?" Yue Ran begged pleadingly as she lightly pulled on the young emperor's sleeve as a gesture of begging for mercy.

Yue Ran really did not want to show this kind of thing in front of Pei He, even if they were separated by a screen and Pei He could not see anything.

"I do not want to do this either," Lu Heng said with a low sigh. "But this time, it is Ran Ran who is not obedient."

Lu Heng pressed Yue Ran on the bed. The bed was facing the screen, and Pei He knelt behind the screen with red eyes. He tightly clenched his fists as he lowered his head.

Holding Yue Ran's hands above her head, Lu Heng leaned his head closer to hers and licked her little earlobe, wetting her skin.

Lu Heng smiled softly and said in a deep voice, "Since Ran Ran is not obedient, then I can only teach Ran Ran how to be obedient."

"Your Majesty, Ran Ran has made a mistake. It was all Ran Ran's fault." Yue Ran quickly admitted her wrongs as she tried to beg for mercy to avoid the "punishment". "Ran Ran will be very good in the future, so let Ran Ran go this time, okay?"

Seeing the helpless and desperate appearance of the young girl crying under him, Lu Heng felt pain in his heart, but he still did not intend to stop so easily at this time.

Lu Heng just wanted to force Yue Ran to accept the fact that she could no longer be together with Pei He; there was not the slightest chance for her to have a future with Pei He.

Lu Heng just wanted to force Yue Ran to accept the fact that she could only be with him, not Pei He. And he also wants Pei He to completely give up on Yue Ran in the same way, at the same time. Therefore, he, Lu Heng, will let Pei He watch helplessly as he loves Yue Ran, and Pei He cannot do a thing about it.

The person on top of the young girl now is him, Lu Heng!

"No, that is not okay," Lu Heng said. "Ran Ran always deceives me like this every time, so I have to punish Ran Ran properly this time."

Yue Ran really did not want Pei He to see the later scene of her being pressed under Lu Heng's body; it would make her feel very ashamed and embarrassed. So, she kept struggling hard to get out of the emperor's hold, and both of her hands that were pinned up now had red circular marks on her wrists. These marks looked especially glaring on her porcelain white skin.

The more the young girl struggled, the more angry Lu Heng became.

Did Yue Ran just not want to be favored by him? Or she just did not want to be seen making love with another person by the person she liked?

"Do you still like him?" Lu Heng asked through his gritted teeth.

Yue Ran did not answer. She only shed tears. She may have shed too many tears that red-rimmed her eyes, making the young girl's originally beautiful icy features look more charming.

It made Lu Heng feel more excited, and Yue Ran could literally feel it down below.

"Lu Heng, I beg you, do it next time, okay?" Yue Ran pleaded.

Every time Lu Heng wanted Yue Ran to call him by his name, he had to torture her on the bed first before she would speak. Unexpectedly, at this time, in this kind of situation, the young girl actually took the initiative to speak first.

An evil smile appeared on Lu Heng's face, and he whispered in the young girl's ears, "Ran Ran's voice calling my name sounds really nice, so Ran Ran has to keep calling it like this later, okay?"

Pei He, who was kneeling behind the screen, could clearly see through the thin screen separating him from both people on the bed. He heard Yue Ran's helpless voice begging for mercy and hated himself for his own incompetence that led to today.

Pei He clenched his fists and punctured his fingernails into the flesh of his palms fiercely.
