The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

The air in the room seemed to thicken, and a strange yet heart-pounding ambiguous atmosphere gradually spread. Su Fuying's cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but feel that the temperature in the entire room seemed to have risen several degrees.

However, this atmosphere didn't last long. Suddenly, she felt a cold gaze coming from above, as if it wanted to pierce through her. That gaze was like an icicle, instantly shattering the ambiguous atmosphere and causing a strange sense of guilt to well up inside her.

She realized she couldn't continue like this. After all, this person was currently her most important source of income, and she absolutely couldn't afford to offend him.

So, Su Fuying coughed lightly, trying to break the awkward silence. Then, she took a small step back, maintaining a certain distance from the other person to ease the tension.

A pair of strong hands encircled her slender waist, and Su Fuying felt a sudden weight on her body, causing her to lean forward abruptly before falling into a warm embrace.

"Well."

Su Fuying covered the tip of her nose, the soreness almost bringing tears to her eyes.

The man put his arm around her waist and buried his head slightly in the neck of her neck. "Has Princess Yongle always been this bold?" His deep voice poured into her ear.

The silver mask, warm to the touch, pressed against her skin; the contrast of heat and cold made Su Fuying shiver involuntarily.

The man's unique aura enveloped Su Fuying, and when she came to her senses, she felt her fingertips tremble slightly.

Su Fuying was annoyed that she could be so captivated by a man's good looks; she was a sucker for good looks!

I wonder what kind of face is hidden under that mask. Suddenly, I thought of that person I glimpsed in a fleeting moment. If that face were paired with that figure, it would be perfect.

The main reason is his status as regent. In this era where everyone is above the rest, he is not even afraid of the emperor, and Su Fuying also wants to have this kind of power.

However, after glancing up at the man in front of her, she thought that the Regent, with his aloof demeanor, probably wouldn't be as shameless as him.

"Put your clothes on first, okay? Who are you trying to seduce in the middle of the night?"

Su Fuying pursed her lips and glanced at his mask with a hint of disdain. It was a pity that she didn't see his face under the mask today.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Shadow One's voice rang out from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the new clothes have arrived."

"Ah."

The man reverted to his usual icy demeanor, replaced by endless indifference and aloofness. It was as if the person who had just been smiling was not the same one.

Upon seeing this, Su Fuying turned and left immediately. If she stayed even a second longer, the blame for coveting his good looks would be pinned on her again.

Stepping out of the room, she bumped into Ying Er, who had a gossipy look on his face and was looking at Su Fuying with a sly grin.

What kind of look is that?

Su Fuying frowned slightly; she was in a bad mood after being teased by a little brat.

"The position you were in just now, was it...?"

Shadow Two didn't finish his sentence, but the indescribable expression on his face hinted at what he was about to say.

"What position...?"

Su Fuying suddenly realized that just now, she had lowered her head and bent over between the man's legs. What kind of position was that?

He cursed loudly, speechless for a moment, "It seems that the punishments of your Shadowless Palace are still too lenient."

With just a casual remark, Ying Er felt his buttocks start to hurt again. He reached up, covered his buttocks, and ran away with an embarrassed laugh.

Su Fuying was speechless. Couldn't this second Shadow be a little more mature and composed like the first Shadow?

I spent the night in another room, and when I returned to the Minister's Mansion the next morning, I passed by the main courtyard and found that the mess inside had been cleaned up neatly.

Su Fuying was very satisfied with this aspect of him; he knew how to clean up his messes after doing things, and he finished what he started, which was quite good.

When Su Fuying saw a box of gleaming gold placed in the center of the courtyard, a surge of joy welled up in her heart.

The gold gleamed alluringly, as if whispering tales of boundless wealth and glory. This chest of gold was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the entire morning and filling her with immense joy.

She instructed her servants to move all the gold to the storeroom for safekeeping.

Watching the gold being carried away filled her with a sense of satisfaction. This gold not only represented wealth, but also a reward for her hard work and wisdom. It was the fruit of her labor and the foundation for her future development.

After completing the task, Su Fuying left the place with satisfaction and returned to the Minister's residence.

Along the way, she was still thinking about how to spend the money. Should she open a shop in the capital? A pharmacy or a restaurant would both work, as long as she could make money.

With so much wealth, Su Fuying pondered how much to charge for her next consultation. Now that she had become a princess, she would have to think twice before going out to do illegal work. With this much money, she might as well travel the world.

"Wan'er, you are the only one in my heart. How could I possibly fall for that country bumpkin?"

“But Crown Prince, you kept calling my sister’s name last night.”

Su Fuying: "..."

What a shocking revelation! What do you mean, she called out her own name last night? Su Fuying almost threw up.

Seeing the two embracing behind the artificial hill in broad daylight, Su Fuying felt as if a flock of crows had flown overhead, leaving her speechless and choked with emotion.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard the Crown Prince say, "I have never liked her since I was a child. I didn't save her at all. I don't know why she mistook me for her and keeps bothering me every day."

"Ah?" Su Wan'er was also a little surprised, because Su Fuying had been obsessed with the Crown Prince since she was a child. It was because when Su Fuying entered the palace, she fell into the water in the Imperial Garden and the Crown Prince saved her. So she had a special affection for the Crown Prince.

At that time, Xiao Junlin had not yet been named Crown Prince; he was merely an ordinary second prince. The eldest prince, on the other hand, was born to the then-principal wife and held a prestigious position. However, things are unpredictable. After the emperor ascended the throne, the principal wife was demoted to a concubine for unknown reasons, and the eldest prince naturally lost his chance to become Crown Prince.

At the time, Xiao Junlin didn't know much about this woman, only that she was the daughter of a high-ranking official and the granddaughter of the Grand Secretary. He thought that marrying such a woman might be helpful in his future struggle for the throne. However, he never expected that his mother had already meticulously planned everything for him.

It seems that Su Fuying is not favored. The emperor is still young and things may change in the future. It would be better to hold on to Su Wan'er.

As for Su Fuying, she is beautiful, and if she were to become his concubine in the future, she would surely be more than happy to accept it.
