The two people on the chaise longue froze. Hua Shu almost subconsciously stood up from Chu Hengzhi's legs, pushed him down on the couch, and walked quickly to the bed.

"Your Majesty, you are awake." There was a hint of nervousness in her voice, and a silver needle appeared in her hand.

If the emperor dared to call for help, she would give him an injection without hesitation, and if he called for help again, she would accuse him of plotting to murder the emperor.

On the chaise longue, Chu Hengzhi's palms were already soaked with cold sweat, and he had already made a worst-case scenario plan in his mind.

If the truth came to light, he would force Hua Shu to drug his father, and then take the opportunity to push her out and make her admit the crime.

Anyway, her brother was still in his hands, and he didn't believe she would dare to disobey him.

The two of them had their own thoughts and their eyes turned to Emperor Wu Ren on the bed.

When Hua Shu walked to the bedside, Wu Rendi closed his eyes again, as if he had never woken up.

She frowned, put away the silver needle, reached out to feel his pulse, and soon found out that she had forgotten to light the incense.

Hua Shu breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the side and lit the incense, then turned his head to look at Chu Hengzhi who was motionless.

She smiled and said, "Come quickly and move this to the bed."

Chu Hengzhi stood up, glanced at Emperor Wu Ren, then walked forward and brought the incense burner to the bedside.

"Why did he wake up just now?"

Seeing him like this, Hua Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Your Highness, you look so cute like this."

Chu Hengzhi glared at her fiercely: "You really are not afraid of death."

If his father had really woken up just now, he would have only needed to shout and He Zhong at the door would have rushed in, and they would all have had no way out. Yet, she still looked fearless.

Hua Shu sat on the chaise longue, rolled up a strand of hair and played with it, looking at him with a faint smile: "What are you afraid of? If he really wakes up, he will be killed with a sword. Then you can just sit on him."

Chu Hengzhi was completely stunned, his eyes full of disbelief: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Hua Shu changed to a comfortable position and leaned on the chaise longue, looking at him with a smile: "Isn't what I said what Your Highness was thinking?"

Chu Hengzhi stared at her with a sharp gaze without saying a word, but his heart was already in turmoil. He never expected that Hua Shu could see through his inner thoughts.

This made him change his opinion of Hua Shu. He originally thought that she was just a vase who judged people by her beauty, but now it seems that it is just the opposite.

She is meticulous, good at observing people's words and expressions, scheming, very cunning, and even knows how to attack people's minds.

No wonder Hua Huaiyuan and the prince went to great lengths to send her into the palace. If she hadn't come to him first, and if she hadn't gained a foothold in the palace, it would have been easy for her to kill him.

Hua Shu had a faint smile on her lips. In fact, there was another reason why she looked for Chu Hengzhi. It was because she felt that he was just like herself, cruel and ruthless, and could kill her loved ones when necessary.

Seeing that he had been staring at her without saying anything, Hua Shu stretched out his hand and rubbed his temple and said, "You came here today to ask Chu Yunxiao why he came to see me, right?"

Chu Hengzhi withdrew his thoughts, looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Can you speak it?"

Hua Shu curled her lips and smiled charmingly: "As long as you want to know, I will tell you."

After hearing her words, Chu Hengzhi raised the corners of his lips slightly, walked over to her and sat down: "Then tell me, what is his purpose in looking for you."

Hua Shu did not hide anything and smiled as she told him about her search for Concubine Qi Hui.

After hearing this, Chu Hengzhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you look for Concubine Lin Xian, but Concubine Qi Hui instead?"

Hua Shu took his hand, played with his bony fingers, and smiled meaningfully: "You don't think I don't know that Concubine Xian is yours."

Chu Hengzhi's body froze and he looked at her in shock. He had never told her that Concubine Xian was his, so how did she know?

Hua Shu really liked seeing this expression on his face. She sat up straight and looked at him, smiling very gently.

"Your Highness, are you curious about why I know she is yours?"

Chu Hengzhi stared at her without saying anything. He was now even more certain that Hua Shu was not as simple as she seemed.

But he couldn't figure out how she knew that Concubine Xian was his.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Hua Shu suddenly lost interest. She said calmly, "When she spoke for me in front of Concubine Shu before, I guessed that she was yours."

"Why?" Chu Hengzhi asked.

Hua Shu smiled and said, "Because I just entered the palace and offended Concubine Shu, she doesn't need to offend her to help me. Besides, I entered the palace to share her favor. If someone didn't secretly ask her to look after me, why would she come forward?"

There was a glimmer of admiration in Chu Hengzhi's eyes. When he agreed to cooperate with Hua Shu, he did ask someone to tell Concubine Xian to help Hua Shu when necessary. He didn't expect that she could guess that Concubine Xian was his person based on this.

"It's true that I underestimated you."

Hua Shu stood up and sat on his lap again, smiling seductively: "Your Highness, we should not waste such a beautiful day."

Chu Hengzhi's face darkened several shades, and he grabbed her mischievous hand and said in a deep voice: "You really think your life is tough."

Hua Shu leaned close to his lips and said in a very seductive voice, "Don't you miss me, Your Highness?"

Chu Hengzhi's Adam's apple moved unconsciously, but reason prevailed in the end.

He pushed Hua Shu away, stood up and said, "I want to go back."

After saying this, he walked towards the window. He would definitely not stay here tonight.

But just as he took two steps, a pair of jade hands wrapped around his waist, and Hua Shu's bewitching and seductive voice sounded behind him.

"Your Highness, I want a child."

She really wanted a child. As long as she was pregnant, she could be promoted to concubine or imperial consort. Then she would have the confidence to confront Hua Huaiyuan.

She had thought that as long as she could get pregnant, it would be fine to serve the old emperor, but later she found out that someone had put a sterilizing drug into his body, so she became obsessed with Chu Hengzhi.

After hearing her words, Chu Hengzhi's body stiffened for a moment. He licked his lips subconsciously, and his body also had some reaction.

But he finally pried her hands apart and said expressionlessly, "I'm not in the mood for that."

Upon hearing this, Hua Shu raised an alluring smile and said with great regret, "Since Your Highness is not interested, I can only find someone else."

"Who should I look for?" She pretended to be embarrassed, then remembered something and smiled, "Your Highness, what do you think of Chu Yunxiao? After all, they are all members of the royal family, so it doesn't mess up the royal bloodline."

"Hua Shu!" Chu Hengzhi's face darkened and he turned back to look at her with gritted teeth.

Hua Shu looked at him innocently: "Since you don't want to, then I can only find someone else. Could it be that you..."

Before she could finish her words, Chu Hengzhi picked her up and placed her on the chaise longue, then leaned over her.

"Since you are so impatient, I will grant your wish."

Hua Shu hugged his neck, her eyes full of charm: "Your Highness, please don't show mercy."
