Your Majesty, Eunuch Lin Is Pregnant

61. It Was Nothing but a Trap

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The moment their lips touched, Helian Chacha felt as if she got an electric shock, so she pushed him away immediately, got up, and turned around to leave.

Noticing that she was not in a good mood, Chu Jianmo got up right away, “Siluan, I’m sorry. I just…”

Helian Chacha stopped walking but she didn’t turn around, “Please don’t talk to me right now. I need to go out to calm down.”

Then she started to walk out.

Although she said so, this place was really not big enough for her to find another shelter. After calming down, she now realized thatshe could only stay under the eaves.

Sitting under the eaves, she reached out to get a raindrop, and the coolness of rain refreshed her mind instantly.

At that moment, her mind was filled with regrets as she didn’t know why she would resist being touched by Chu Jianmo so much.

“What has happened?” She scratched her hair irritably.

Had it been in the past, if her Prince Charming had kissed her, she would have been so thrilled and she would never have pushed him away. So, did it mean that her body was saying “No” to Chu Jianmo?

That wouldn’t make sense either. Chu Jianmo grew up with her, and according to the way Chu Jianmo had been treating her, they should have maintained a good relationship with each other before.

While she was still wondering, the rain finally stopped without her noticing it. It was getting dark.

She looked at the dark doorstep and sighed as if she didn’t even know if there was an end of this kind of life.

While she was still deep in her thoughts, she suddenly felt some warmth. Looking around, she found a cloak on her back, yet no one was standing behind her.

But she knew that it must have been Chu Jianmo who had put it on her back.

Anyway, she couldn’t avoid talking with him forever.

She wrapped the cloak tight and stood up to walk into the room.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw Chu Jianmo sitting by the window and staring outside. She hesitated for a second and then walked to him.

“I was…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Chu Jianmo spoke, “It was my bad. I shouldn’t have…done that without your consent.”

“Jianmo, I am not ready. Can you give me some time?” She looked at him affectionately, and her bright eyes were filled with tenderness.

Chu Jianmo was stunned, and he went up to hold her with a smile, “It’s alright. I can wait.”

Maybe that was the magic of love. A minute ago she still had doubts, but the moment when she was held in his arms, she gave up all of those ideas immediately. As long as she could be with him, she would do anything.

The two of them didn’t take any food when running away, and there was nothing to eat in this room either. When the evening came, Helian Chacha was so starving that her belly started rumbling.

Seeing that, Chu Jianmo decided to go out to find some food for her, but he was stopped by her, “The Imperial Guardians may still be around us, you will walk into their trap if you go out right now. I’m hungry, but I can bear it tonight. If you get caught, then we will be so doomed.”

Chu Jianmo felt she was right, so he gave up his idea of going out.

“My dad told me when I was little, that you won’t feel hungry in your dream. Shall we try it?” Chu Jianmo came up with another plan.

Looking at his determined face, Helian Chacha started to laugh out so loud, “Your dad was just kidding. Even if you are sleeping, your body system is still running, so the hunger won’t disappear just because you’re in your dream. It’s just that you can’t feel it while sleeping.”

“Body system?” Chu Jianmo looked at her in confusion as if he was expecting her to explain further on that term.

Helian Chacha suddenly realized that she had just blurted out a modern term, so she immediately tried to fool him, “Huh? Did I just say that?”

“You did. I heard it clearly. You said it.” Chu Jianmo couldn’t be fooled easily.

“Then you must have heard it wrong. I didn’t say that.”

The two of them had fun in the room for a while and then both felt tired, so Helian Chacha fell asleep on the bed that Chu Jianmo had prepared already. While Chu Jianmo was just sitting next to her to keep her safe.

After a while, Helian Chacha was suddenly woken up by the coldness.

She shivered and wrapped herself up in the cloak, trying to go back to her sleep in another posture, but she heard a familiar voice coming from the outside, “Your Highness, His Majesty has already sent out his men to catch you. There are more than just the Imperial Guardians this time, an organization called Tianji Sect’ is also involved. The Empress Dowager urged you to leave Kingdom Ling as soon as possible, just in case things get worse.”

Wasn’t that hoarse voice the one she had heard that night?

Did it mean that it had not been a dream at all?

Helian Chacha felt so cold because Chu Jianmo had been cheating her so easily for such a long time.

“Tianji Sect?” Chu Jianmo laughed.

However, this laugh was totally different from his normal laughs. In that laugh, the only thing that Helian Chacha could feel was coldness, with no emotion attached.

“I never knew that Ye Shengxuan could do that. Alright, I got it. But I want you to tell the Empress Dowager one thing when you go back.”

“At your service.”

Chu Jianmo paused for a moment and said slowly, “After a few days of observation, I think the venom inside Feng Siluan’s body has been dissolved. If I guess it right, she must have got rid of it when she was still wounded in the palace, and it should be Ye Shengxuan who helped her to dissolve it. Just go back and tell the Empress Dowager that she needs to be vigilant about Ye Shengxuan. Her stepson is not as naive as he might look like.”

Helian Chacha was lying on the bed, and she felt thunderstruck.

How come Chu Jianmo knew that she got the venom in her body? Did that mean the venom in her body was from him?

Meanwhile, the voice of that envoy came from the outside again, “Your Highness, do you mind if I ask you a personal question?”

“Just ask.”

“These days, you have been traveling with Feng Siluan, and you’ve taken good care of her all along the way. Are you really not into her?”

Hearing that question, Helian Chacha grabbed the cloak unconsciously as her eyes were filled with stress.

“Chu Jianmo, you better not betray me!”

Maybe the question was too private, there was a long silence after the question.

“I’m afraid it was the Empress Dowager who told you to ask this question.” Chu Jianmo’s voice sounded quite smirking.

The envoy smiled, “Don’t get me wrong, Your Highness. If you don’t want to answer it, just don’t.”

“There is nothing to hide. If the Empress Dowager wants to know, then I don’t mind telling her.” He sounded casually as if he was talking about what he just had for lunch.

“I am totally not into Feng Siluan. I saved her from the Feng Family because I wanted to train her as an assassin and put her by the Emperor’s side. I never have expected that she would fall in love with me. That is just hilarious.”

“Then she wanted to show me her loyalty, so she swallowed that venom the Empress Dowager had brought back right in front of me. She has been so loyal to me even if she was sent to the Emperor, and now she even stole the token from the Emperor for me. You see, that’s what a woman is like. You tell her that you love her and you will marry her in the future, then she will absolutely die for you.”

Helian Chacha felt an acute pain as if she was stabbed right in the chest.

It turned out that everything she had seen was a trap.

She was lying on the bed, crying and thinking, “Chu Jianmo, you’re such a good liar. From now on, I will call myself a bitch if I ever get moved by your little tricks.”

After hearing what Chu Jianmo had said, the envoy was stunned for a few seconds, “You are definitely a master, Your Highness. You never get tied up by trivial matters like this. Then I think we worry too much, so I won’t stay here to bother you. I’m leaving now, Your Highness.”

After the man had left, Chu Jianmo came back to the room. But what scared Helian Chacha was that he didn’t go to sleep, but stood in front of her bed staring at her…
