Chapter 81: Bathing In The Palace Chambers

Translator: Paperplane

At eight years old, Han Moze joined the army led by Shen Yixiu. At the time, Shen Yixiu had no idea Han Moze was the Third Prince, as everyone of Beiming thought the imperial concubine had killed him.

The eight year old Han Moze was the youngest soldier in the army, and the soldier who Shen Yixiu favoured and kept by his side because he stood out in every way. Han Moze would occasionally escort Shen Yixiu to the palace, where he met Han Moxi who was roughly the same age. Han Moxi would not leave Han Moze alone, and as the days went by, the two became brothers.

After Han Moze watched Han Moxi leave, he walked up to Ouyang Yaoyi.

Ouyang Yaoyi’s hair was an utter mess when she felt an intimidating force in front of her, and looked up. Having noticed that it was Han Moze, she looked instantly infatuated. Her flushed face became even redder and she couldn’t help but lick her lips.

Han Moze slightly furrowed his brows. “Enroute, Ouyang Yaoyi defied a royal decree. She is to receive thirty wooden strikes, then send her to Yinghua Palace,” he announced in a chilling voice.

“Yes, your majesty!” Replied Zhang Jiu and Li Fei.

Then, they apprehended Ouyang Yaoyi away. Caidie and Caiyi followed behind her with a slight smile on their faces. That evil Third Princess is finally receiving her karma.

Han Moze looked in the direction of where Han Moxi left, and squinted slightly. Clan leader of the Blood Feast, what are you doing?

He turned around and walked to his own chambers – Mingyue Palace, the ‘Dark Moon Palace’.

Mingyue Palace was a lavish and impressive building of gold and red.

Gold tiles with red ta.s.seled lanterns hung from the roof, and a dark red rug with golden patterns laid spread across the floor.

Through the door, there was a dark red writing desk on the left with stationary placed upon it.

On the right, there was a round desk covered with a high quality dark red tablecloth and four round chairs around it. There were two short red stools up against the right wall with a velvet blanket on top. In the center, there was a sculptured, square gold table made of red wood.

Deeper inside, there was a wooden, semi-circle shaped arched door with gold openwork etched around the edges. The imperial maids had already pulled the light red curtains on the door back and tied them to each side.

Once he stepped through the arched door, he entered the actual resting quarters. He walked straight ahead, then pulled two layers of red and gold curtains. With just two steps forward, he reached a big luxurious bed with pillows sewn with gold thread.

A few steps further to the right was a wooden shelf with all different kinds of rare antiques. Beside the shelf was a dressing table.

He walked over to a rectangular hot spring with a spout on one end that released an endless flow of clear water from the hot spring.

The imperial maids walked over to the hot spring and scattered flower petals into the bath. Although they wanted to help Han Moze bathe, they respectfully bowed and left.

Han Moze unfastened his belt, then removed his clothes piece by piece to reveal his big, tall frame. His body proportion was perfect, his honey-coloured skin was glossy and his muscles were firm with an alluring s.h.i.+mmer.

He walked into the hot spring, laid his head upon the edges, shut his eyes and let out a relaxing exhale.

He smiled at the thought of how he first met Liu Rushuang.

That woman’s clothes were drenched at the time, which outlined her perfect figure. On top of it all, she had very fair skin. Her body alone, was so beautiful.

Han Moze’s thoughts wandered, when his eyes suddenly squinted.

Someone appeared from behind Han Moze.

On careful inspection, the person wore a yellow belt and a black robe. Their almost waist length, ink-colored hair flowed behind them and they had side swept bangs to the right. Their bangs spanned from the temples and fell straight to the lips. This person had an oval face, narrow and long eyebrows, and the edges of their eyes curled upward at an alluring angle. Their nose bridge was pretty, they had reasonably thick lips and they wore a slight smile which made them look cunning and quick-witted.
