Zhang's gaze followed the Prince as he left in a huff, but when he returned, his demeanor was distracted and preoccupied.
"My lord, perhaps the princess did not mean any harm, or perhaps it was a mistake by the servants in putting in safflower."
Zhang lies in bed, her face as pale as paper, her words soft and tender. Even at this moment, she first concerns herself with the Prince's feelings before speaking words of understanding towards the Princess Consort.
"I do not wish for conflict between you and the princess consort. If the Empress were to know, she would surely scold you, and I cannot bear to see you suffer."
In the past, the Prince would have disliked the Empress interfering, but now he felt a sense of guilt.
"The Empress Dowager's actions are governed by protocol, Your Highness. I have indeed exceeded my bounds."
He shouldn't have hit Su Jun.
The Prince looked at Zhangshi's frail face, but his mind wandered to Su Jun's pale face, with the clear mark of a palmprint on it.
The Prince felt extremely uneasy in his heart, even though he was still chatting with Zhangshi, his mind had already wandered far away.
This time he went too far. He shouldn't have reacted with physical violence.
Su Jun, the Prince suddenly remembered his earlier thoughts of proposing to Su Jun, and he had once dreamed of harmonious marriage with his wife.
Zhangshi touched her abdomen and looked sorrowful, "It's my fate, not the child's. It's not blessed."
The Prince responded with a non-committal "Mm."
Zhangshi's tears brimmed at her eyelids, "Do you think that way too, Your Highness?"
The Prince only realized this, "What did you just say?"
The Prince would never feel uncomfortable about such things. I didn't hear what you said, it must be your fault!
Zhangshi, holding back her anger, spoke again in a soft voice.
Unexpectedly, the Prince agreed: "Indeed, it is not fortunate. Perhaps the fate is too weak."
If the child were born as the elder son of the Eastern Palace, even if he were a natural son, he would be different from other natural sons. Such nobility is why a miscarriage occurred.
When the Prince learned that Zhangshi was pregnant, he also learned of the miscarriage.
He is still young, not yet at the age when he needs to hurry for an heir. At this time, he naturally would not really be saddened.
Zhangshi's lips curved into an arc without changing, speaking softly along with the Prince's words. Even in her illness, she had a certain allure.
Just a while later, the Prince's hand began to misbehave.
Zhangshi followed him, and then—
"My lord, I am not feeling well today, I cannot serve you..."
Zhangshi spoke with genuine sorrow, as if lamenting something truly.
The Prince's expression was somewhat unpleasant; it wasn't pleasant to have his desires interrupted at the height of passion, but he wouldn't really be able to stay pure.
With Zhangshi's several recommendations, the Prince accepted the beauty that Zhangshi had presented.
Before leaving, the Prince smiled and said, "They can't compare to you. Hurry up and take good care of yourself."
Zhangshi blushed and smiled.
Zhangshi's eyes flashed with resentment until the Prince left. At this moment, the Prince was still thinking about the Princess Consort!
Looking at such an upright person, one never knows what tricks they use in private. Otherwise, how could the Prince lose his composure after just one visit?
Zhangshi's heart was bleeding inside. She hated him so much.
That year, relying on the system, she had enticed the Prince into a deep obsession with her, wanting to indulge in pleasure with her every day. But then what happened?
One year later, the Prince knelt before the Qianqing Palace, begging the Emperor for permission to marry.
At the time, Zhangshi asked the Prince what about her?
What did the Prince ask you for?
Only then did Zhangshi realize that the Prince had never really liked her, but only her body.
Men, sleep with them a few times, and they'll become dependent on you.
The big package she received after crossing over was quite useful. The Prince indeed could not do without her, but this did not prevent him from marrying!
Zhangshi then understood why it was necessary to kill the female lead; otherwise, no matter how much the male lead liked her, as long as the female lead was alive, there would always be a chance for a comeback.
For the next two years, Zhangshi devoted a lot of effort to winning the Prince's favor and planting eyesores in front of the Princess Consort in front of the Prince.
This is a simple task.
Su Jun used to have a vague relationship with the third prince before their marriage, and after the wedding, she always kept a stiff face and didn't know how to please men. This was too easy.
Then Zhangshi knew that the third prince had become the king of Qi.
Why does the female lead have so many outstanding people surrounding her?
What makes her so special?
Zhangshi's heart was filled with envy, and killing the female lead had become not just a task, but also an obsession for Zhangshi.
To trample the female lead underfoot, to trample on everything she has, to destroy everything she possesses...
Zhangshi just thinking about it makes her heart happy.
Zhangshi's heart was panicking when she learned that the Prince was about to marry so quickly.
What should she do if the Prince and the Princess Consort are affectionate towards each other?
Zhangshi's only reliance after she crossed over was the modified body she received as a gift, which was of no use. It was said to be able to make people forget their past, yet things had ended up like this.
But the next development made Zhangshi laugh out loud.
It's truly hilarious; the Empress Dowager wouldn't let the Prince touch the Princess Consort, saying that her body wasn't fully developed yet and was afraid it might harm her health.
Every time Zhangshi thinks about it, she laughs out loud. There are really absurd reasons like that.
Men are animals who think with their lower halves. To captivate a man, one must first captivate his body, making him reluctant to leave her bed.
Now that the Prince is treating her like a Buddha, he can't be blamed for 'snacking' on others!
As expected, the Prince grew to be more and more doting on Zhangshi, to the point that he rarely visited the princess consort's courtyard afterwards.
After two years, Zhangshi thought that the Prince had lost his feelings for the princess consort, so she set up a trap with this child she couldn't keep. However, this surefire move caused no harm to Su Jun at all!
This made Zhangshi how could she bear it?
The female lead should all die, why does she get the love of men without doing anything? !
*
The injuries on the female lead's face have been treated, and Dongshu is carefully treating the injuries on her index finger. Chundou advises, "Miss, let's secretly call the doctor to take a look. I promise not to disturb others."
Su Jun refused. The lamps lit in the room had already been burning, and after an afternoon of emotional breakdown, she had completely expended all her energy.
"This matter cannot be known to anyone. Have the servants outside been silenced?"
Chundou: "The servants don't know. I have already reminded them not to spread the news that the Prince came here in a rage."
"And what about the Empress Dowager's people?"
Chundou said: "The Empress Dowager is currently ill, and the people in her courtyard are being careful not to tell her at this time."
"Hmm."
Su Jun looked around the room at the various shadows, and slowly said, "Add more candles and light up the room a bit more brightly."
Chundou placed it in the bedroll, making sure that the servants couldn't see Su Jun, before calling them over to do this thing.
The room is brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
Su Jun finally felt a bit more human.
"What is the name of the doctor who treated Zhangshi?"
The news heard during the day was forgotten completely at this moment.
Dongshu said, "It's Dr. Qian, whose grandson is studying for the imperial examinations and is in need of a good teacher."
Compared to Chundou's sorrow, Dongshu is much more calm.
Accompanied by Miss for two years, everything is calm and peaceful, which has made Dongshu forget the purpose that Su Dad had told her to follow Su Jun.
A mere Zhangshi, do you really think there are no rules in the palace?
Dongshu decided in his heart, Zhangshi must be gotten rid of for sure.
The Prince is already so fierce over Zhangshi now, and once he ascends the throne, there will truly be no place for Miss Su to stand.
It's better to take advantage of the presence of the elders. Even if the Prince is sad now, just send more beauties over.
The Prince is fond of Miss Su and has a preference for her.
If the Prince doesn't like Miss Su, there is also a proper way to do it.
In short, there is no place for such ambitious people in the rear courtyard.
