羞辱尤娜2

Chapter 183.2

“If you like me, once I recover, I will talk to my parents and marry you.”

Lancao didn’t expect Su Yucheng to say that. Her hand that was wiping the wash basin shook and she almost dropped the copper basin.

“Master, what are you talking about? Don’t make fun of this servant.” The smile on her face was very forced.

“I’m not joking with you, I’m serious.” Su Yucheng was so excited that he wanted to sit up, but he forgot about his wound. The pain caused him to take a sharp inhale before he fell back on the bed.

Lancao ignored the complicated feelings in her heart, and hurriedly leaned over to look at his wound anxiously. Seeing that there was no bleeding, she felt relieved before realizing what she had done. Just as she was about to take back her hand, the other party pulled her towards him. “I can feel that you’re also happy when you’re with me. Why wouldn’t you agree?”

Lancao felt bitter in her heart and said with a forced smile, “Master, I’m just a servant. It’s not because you’re not worthy of me but I’m not worthy of you.” As she said this, she pulled back her hand.

“If I say you’re worthy, then you’re worthy. In fact, I’m the one who’s not worthy of you. I was already married once and I have three children. If you marry me, you will be the second wife and also a stepmother. “

Su Yucheng spoke too much, and Lancao panicked after hearing all this. She lowered her head and said hastily, “Master, you should stop thinking about it. This servant is a maid, a maid of the prince’s manor. In the future, this servant may even need to return to the prince’s manor. This servant’s mind and body don’t even belong to herself. It’s best if you give up on this thought.” After she finished speaking, she hurried out with the basin.

After closing the door from the outside, Lancao’s tears came out.

Her purpose for approaching Su Yucheng had not been pure. She had been ordered to do so by her superiors. The order was as long as she could make Su Yucheng make up his mind to divorce Zhu-shi, she would be freed.

In fact, Lancao could have long returned to the prince’s manor to redeem herself, but she had always been reluctant. Although she knew that it was impossible, she couldn’t help but wonder what if.

But reality slapped her hard. It was already a dream to have something with Su Yucheng back when Yaoniang was still a side consort. Now that she was a consort, it was even more impossible for her to have something with Su Yucheng.

It was impossible for His Highness to let his brother-in-law marry a maid as his wife.

It seemed that it was time for her to leave soon.

In Kunning Palace, Zhao Zuo came to greet Empress Wei.

If one had to say who amongst the younger generations came to Kunning Palace the most, even the maids and eunuchs of Kunning Palace would say besides Dai Wang, it was Hui Wang Shizi.

But today, Zhao Zuo, who had always been respectful and filial, changed his face.

In the side hall, there were only Empress Wei and Zhao Zuo. Not even Empress Wei’s personal maid and confidant, Min Qiu, was present.

Empress Wei glared at Zhao Zuo, but Zhao Zuo quickly changed his expression from ruthlessness and desperation to his usual gentleness. This caused Empress Wei to wonder if what she just saw had been a hallucination.

But the gleam in the other party’s eyes told her that it was not an illusion. The grandson she had always thought of as filial and sensible was actually a wolf cub pretending to be a dog.

“Grandfather Emperor has always respected Grandmother Empress for her generosity, gentleness and virtuous character. If he were to be told about what Grandmother Empress did, how do you think he will react?”

“How dare you!” Empress Wei, who had never been angry in front of others, finally revealed a side of hers that she never showed. Everyone believed that Empress Wei had a good temper and was a kind person, but if she didn’t have some means, how could she sit on this phoenix seat for decades?

Was it just based on the identity of the original spouse?

Empress Wei knew of at least once when Emperor Hongjing wanted to depose her, but here she was, still sitting firmly on the phoenix seat.

The movement in the hall made the palace maids and eunuchs guarding outside the hall panic. They wanted to come in to see what was happening, but just as they popped their heads in, a teacup was thrown at them followed by a loud “Scram!” So they all scrammed.

Zhao Zuo, who still had an elegant demeanour, lowered his gaze and said, “This grandson doesn’t dare. This grandson is also desperate. After all, Grandfather Emperor and Grandmother Empress changed your faces too quickly. Hui Wang had just lost power and you immediately switched to favouring my third uncle. Did you ever consider the feelings of my father and me? Father is your most beloved son, and this grandson is also your most beloved grandson. Yet you didn’t even say a word of warning before the wind changed directions. It had truly caught this grandson by surprise.”
