Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

She is gentle and considerate, unlike Su Rong who is unreasonable and has bad temper.

But he still needs to explain his current thoughts.

Did he already know that Su Rong was responsible for all this?

Shen Zhishu's sadness disappeared instantly.

The prince kept Su Rong's people by his side. Could it be that... he was planning to break up with her and become her enemy?

"Could it be King Shuo? Has he returned to Kyoto?"

Shen Zhishu, who knew the truth, could only pretend to test it.

Yan Chu hesitated for a moment and did not give a direct answer.

"In short, I will make those who plotted against me pay the price they deserve."

When he said this, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

It would be exciting if the person he wanted to deal with was really Su Rong.

But soon, things got back to the point.

"The prince wants to take a concubine tonight, so should I go back?"

After all, this is a happy event in the royal palace, and it's probably going to require someone to take care of it. I hold the power of the family, but now I'm hiding at home to take care of the baby, leaving all the affairs to the housekeeper. It's really inappropriate.

"It's just a concubine, there's no need to mobilize a large force, and there may be a lot of things to do tonight, why bother going over there?"

Yan Chu felt that this was not necessary.

Then she won't join in the fun.

But tonight Su Rong was furious again.

Just this morning, news came that Yan Chu was going to take a concubine, so the palace was decorated festively all day long. In the evening, Yun Meng dressed up specially and even found a bridesmaid to help her enter through the side door.

Yan Chu sat in the main seat, with Su Rong and Concubine Liu sitting next to him.

Yunmeng wore a pastel-colored wedding dress and put on a clear hibiscus makeup. She looked like a flower fairy who had just descended to earth. Her every frown and smile was extremely beautiful.

It is a kind of maturity and elegance that neither Su Rong nor Concubine Liu possesses.

It seemed as if in front of her, these two people had not yet grown up.

"I pay my respects to the princess. I invite her to have some tea."

Yunmeng walked over slowly, and with the help of the bridesmaid, she first bowed to Yan Chu, and then to Su Rong.

The atmosphere suddenly became three degrees colder at that moment.

How could she drink this cup of tea?

Her original intention was just to let Yunmeng seduce Yan Chu, but she never thought of letting her really become Yan Chu's woman.

She is just his subordinate, how can she be treated the same as him?

She secretly gripped the chair tightly, wishing she could crush it with her nails.

But in a moment of distraction, Yan Chu had already stood up, walked to Yun Meng and helped her up.

The cup of tea that was originally intended for Su Rong was also taken by him and put aside.

"The princess is not feeling well right now, so it's not appropriate for her to drink tea. Just follow the etiquette."

All I heard was him looking at Yunmeng with great tenderness and affection, as if he had a special liking for her.

Su Rong's heart felt like it was cut by a knife.

Yan Chu took her slender and delicate hand in front of her.

"Your hands are all burned, right? There is ointment in my bedroom. Come back with me later and I will apply the ointment on you myself."

At that moment, Su Rong couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up.

But before she could do anything, Yan Chu took Yun Meng's hand and protected her behind him.

For her sake, he was going to be hostile to her?

"What is your Highness worried about? Since you want to apply medicine to your concubine, just go ahead. I won't stay here and interrupt your love."

I feel angry.

But when she looked at this dazzling scene, she remembered her original intention.

She originally wanted to use Yunmeng to win favor. Only when Yan Chu's heart is on her can she take revenge on Shen Zhishu.

Now that he was protecting her like this, didn't that prove that his plan was successful? Didn't that prove that she had accurately grasped his preferences?

So she had nothing to be angry about.

The reason for his anger was simply because the remaining feelings he had for Yan Chu had not completely dissipated.

So she took a deep breath and left calmly.

Yan Chu also took Yunmeng back to the elegant courtyard.

It seemed as if everyone had forgotten Liu Yunshang's existence.

After everyone left, Liu Yunshang looked hatefully at the cup of tea that the prince had personally taken from Yunmeng's hands.

She walked over, picked up the bottle and drank it all in one gulp, not caring whether it was boiling hot or not.

No one is more cruel than her, and now in the palace, her situation is the most embarrassing.

All the members of the Liu family were convicted and imprisoned. Without the support of her mother's family, she became dispensable to the King of Qin.

No one cared about her. Even on a day like today, if she didn't show up on her own initiative, I'm afraid no one would invite her.

But she would never remain so miserable.

Her life would never be spent like this.

into the night.

Yunmeng stayed in Yan Chu's bedroom.

His eyes subconsciously fell on the dark room, and when he recalled the past, he became a little frightened.

During those days of being locked up, she really thought that she would live in darkness from then on.

She said she was applying medicine, but after coming back, Yan Chu was busy handling official business and ignored her.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Yunmeng took a deep breath. For the future, she had to be more proactive.

"My Lord, it's getting late. I'm going to take a bath now..."

"If you want to take a shower, you can go back to Fengyuan, Chu Er."

But who knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, she lost the chance.

Chu Er entered the room and asked her to leave immediately.

Yun Meng looked puzzled, and when she saw the secret door connecting the two courtyards, she was so shocked that she was speechless.

What does it mean to secretly accumulate warehouses?

Maybe that's it.

She could go directly back to Fengyuan without leaving Yayuan, and she could come here secretly on weekdays.

But the usage of this door was not quite what she imagined.

"Tomorrow morning, Madam, come over to have breakfast with the prince, starting from here."

Chu Er specifically gave instructions.

So the prince is not planning to have a secret relationship with her, but is planning to send her back quietly without alerting anyone?

why?

Could it be that the affection he showed was just an illusion, just to make others mistakenly believe it was the case?

Thinking back to today, she seemed to understand it all at once.

It was done for Su Rong to see.

The prince wanted Su Rong to mistakenly believe that he doted on her.

Could it be that the prince had actually seen through Su Rong's tricks, and was doing all this just to make Su Rong mistakenly believe that he had fallen into a trap?

And the purpose of his doing this is actually to protect Shen Zhishu?

Should Su Rong mistakenly believe that Shen Zhishu has fallen out of favor and stop targeting him from now on?

If this is true, then wouldn't the prince's heart have long been no longer on Su Rong? Then isn't their love, which is envied by the world, a joke?

Because of what happened tonight, Yun Meng seemed to see through the relationships between everyone in the palace.

Concubine Shen apparently returned to her parents' home, but in fact she was the most favored.

The princess, though she had status and power, was alienated from the prince.

As for Concubine Liu, although she was a county lady appointed by the emperor, now that the Liu family was convicted and imprisoned, she has no support and is an orphan. The prince doesn't fancy her, so there is no need to care about her.

Therefore, if she wants to stay in this palace for a long time, she has to find a companion.
