Chapter 547 - Who was Ma Er, the Person from the Prison to the Imperial Palace (1/2)

In the Hua’nuan Pavilion, clothes were scattered everywhere, including Ling Rui’er’s dirty clothes and the bellyband inside. It was the closest place to where the watermelon juice had been splashed on her. That was to say, the other places were much further away than here for clothes changing.

Ling Rui’er had to change clothes here.

As for the murder later, Ling Rui’er and her maidservant knew nothing about it, and just hurried out at that time, even had no time to pack the clothes. The dirty clothes were thrown on the floor, including the dress and bellyband. Besides, it was natural to wear light clothes in the summer. So when the big bowl of watermelon juice was poured on the clothes, how could they not get thoroughly wet?

A man was sitting on the pile of messy clothes, holding Ling Rui’er’s bellyband in his hand. The smile on his face was particularly wretched. He brought it to his nose and sniffed it. It was as if he was looking at the white body of the beauty who had changed her clothes earlier. Thinking that such a beautiful woman would have an affair with him and would belong to him, how could the man not be overjoyed about it?

Just now, he deliberately hid behind the screen to see clearly that there was a faint mole below the right side of the woman’s navel. It was the evidence, so the woman would fail to explain it clearly. He did not expect that he was so lucky that he was not only released from the prisoners on death row, but also could get such a beauty.

He was called Ma Er, a murderer, who was going to be executed after autumn. He had been waiting for his death in the cell. Unexpectedly, a savior descended. The woman was his savior who took him out of the cell and asked him to hide there. Until now, he did not know where it was. But judging from the splendid decoration, he guessed it must be a great family.

The madams and ladies of a great family attached the greatest importance to their chast.i.ty. If a lady was seen naked by him, she would have no alternative but to follow him. At that moment, Ma Er suddenly recalled that a fortune-teller had once predicted that if Ma Er could survive a great disaster, he could be destined to good fortune ever after. Sure enough, the fortune-teller was right. Ma Er did not expect that he who was going to be executed, would have such good fortune in love affairs. He clenched the bellyband and stuffed in into his clothes.

The savior asked him to wait there, and said someone would come there and inquire him. At that time, all he needed to do was to answer that he saw a woman change clothes, and it would be better if he could see some characteristics of the woman. But now Ma Er was greedier. So he put the bellyband in his arms. It was an accident. Who knew that the woman and her maidservant had been so careless that they had forgotten to pack the underwear?

When he was lost in the wild thought, Ma Er heard someone’s voice and hurriedly hid in the back of the screen.

After he hid in the back of the screen, he saw a woman dressed like a maidservant coming in a hurry with a cloth bag in her hand. She sighed with a bit relief at the sight of the scattered clothes, and instead of folding them, she just rolled all the dirty clothed up and threw into the cloth bag she brought.

After checking that there were no clothes on the ground, she walked out with the cloth bag in hand.

Ma Er thought that it was ridiculous. The woman did not remember to clear her clothes until now, and she just threw them all into the bag without checking the clothes carefully. He thought he was definitely such a lucky dog that all he needed to do was to wait for the matter blowing up.

Outside the door came the slight sound of footsteps again. Ma Er looked through the screen and saw a beautiful woman coming in. Her clothes looked obviously more high-end than the previous maidservant. Was the woman in front from a great family? The material of her clothing was rather new to him.

“Ma Er, are you there?” Ma Er turned away his face and felt a thrill up as if being injected with chicken blood. Upon hearing the call, he answered immediately, “Miss, Ma Er is here.”

It was the savior who saved him from the cell. Apparently, she came to tell him that it was his turn. How could he not be excited? Without too much thought, he ran out of the screen and said to the woman with an unctuous bow, “Miss, Ma Er is here. Am I going to make trouble?”

Ma Er, a spalpeen, was really a master of making trouble.

As long as he ruined the woman’s reputation, the woman would belong to him. At the thought, he seemed to see the beautiful white body in front of him and felt that his blood boiled with stirs from head to toe.

“Wait a minute. You need to hold your horses now. The woman left hurriedly for something, so she might come back after a while. You can have a meal here. When I come to call you, you can go out.” Yan Miao put a small-size meal box on the table and opened it. There was only a bowl of rice and a dish in it.

Looking at the jade-white rice grains and fragrant dishes, Ma Er couldn’t help swallowing. How could the food in the cell compare to these? Although it was just a simple meal of a bowl of rice and a dish, in Ma Er’s eyes, it was a precious meal. He tried hard to resist himself to the food and watched Yan Miao longingly. Seeing Yan Miao gestured him to eat, he picked up the chopsticks by his side immediately and began gobbling them.

With his mouth full of food, he still asked Yan Miao, “Miss, Ma Er will be at your disposal whenever you need me. And you don’t have to come in person, but send a little maidservant to call me. My life is yours now!”

He thought that Yan Miao was a high-ranking young lady of the manor, otherwise, she could not have had the right to drag him back from the gallows. At that moment, He was sincerely grateful to her.

Yan Miao nodded and looked at the vulgar and wretched Ma Er with disgust in her eyes. She took two steps back and waited for him to finish the meal. As planned, Consort Xuan would have had to change clothes here due to being spilled by the watermelon juice, and been seen naked by Ma Er secretly. As long as Ma Er claimed that he was in the Hua’nuan Pavilion where Mo Xuetong was changing clothes, Mo Xuetong’s reputation would be ruined without a doubt.

No matter how much King Xuan tolerated Mo Xuetong, the Emperor would not allow an impure woman to stay by King Xuan’s side.

But who would have thought that the watermelon juice was not poured on Consort Xuan, but on Consort Chu all over? And it finally turned to be Consort Chu who came here to change clothes, which agitated the Empress so badly that she almost fainted.
