It was late at night, and all the houses were silent.
Murong Hanzhi knew that Consort Yang Shu was waiting for her. After treating the Fifth Prince, she dragged her stiff body over. Consort Yang Shu was indeed sitting quietly in the room. She was the only one there. She must have deliberately sent Qing Ge out.
Hearing the commotion, Consort Yang Shu's posture did not change. She only turned her head slightly to look at her, her eyes bright and clear. However, the more she acted like this, the more uneasy and afraid she made people feel.
Murong Hanzhi slowly knelt down and lowered his head." Your Highness, I know I was wrong."”
"What was wrong?" Consort Yang Shu leaned forward slightly to look at her, her eyes flowing with an infinite charm.
"This servant…" Murong Hanzhi gritted his teeth. His face turned pale bit by bit, but his cheeks were flushed red."This servant should not have performed the ceremony of husband and wife with the Fifth Prince. This servant deserves to die!"”
She no longer hoped that Consort Yang Shu would spare her life, nor did she hope that she and her younger siblings could escape this misery. She was the one who had caused this, and she was the one in the wrong. If Consort Yang Shu could spare her younger siblings for the sake of her healing the Fifth Prince and let them live out the rest of their lives in Lone Bamboo's palace, that would be the greatest gift Consort Yang Shu could give her.
" About this." Consort Yang Shu smiled indifferently and sat up straight." It's not entirely your fault. It's BenGong's negligence. You and Yue 'er are in your prime. It's inevitable that you'll be impulsive and overstep your etiquette. So, HanZhi, you don't have to be afraid. BenGong won't do anything to you."”
What was that?
Murong Hanzhi was stunned. He raised his head and looked at her with shock in his eyes. She had made such a huge mistake and Consort Yang Shu actually said that she didn't blame her?! How could there be such a cheap thing in this world? "The Empress is merciful, this servant is ashamed! This servant has sullied the Fifth Prince's illustrious name. Empress, grant this servant death!”
Consort Yang Shu shook her head, but the smile on her face did not change." Hanzhi, your words are too harsh. BenGong said I won't punish you, so I won't punish you." Although you are the daughter of a guilty minister, you are still a pure and innocent woman. Giving it to Yue 'er can't be said to be defiling him.”
Murong Hanzhi's mouth was slightly agape as he stared blankly at Consort Yang Shu's face that was hidden under the candlelight, making it difficult to distinguish between joy and anger. He was unable to speak. Although she did not have an absolute understanding of Consort Yang Shu, she understood one thing: Consort Yang Shu would never forgive her like this. The only thing she didn't know was what method Consort Yang Shu would use to torture and humiliate her.
"Hanzhi, do you still remember what you promised bengong?”Consort Yang Shu turned to look at her. The phoenix hairpin on her head trembled continuously, looking dignified." BenGong means, do you have other thoughts about Yue 'er?”
"This servant did not!" Before she could finish her sentence, Murong Hanzhi had already rushed to answer," Your Majesty is wise. This servant knows my identity and has never, ever thought of fighting for anything. Especially, especially after meeting Miss Sang, this servant knows that she is, is the Fifth Prince's true love!”
She wasn't trying to coax him. It was only after she saw Sang Wangyue that she realized that with her status, she couldn't win against Sang Wangyue. She didn't regret being with the Fifth Prince. The only regret was that she didn't stop earlier, resulting in Consort Yang Shu forcing her to such a state. Who could she blame?
Consort Yang Shu paused, and the smile in her eyes deepened." Then BenGong can rest assured. HanZhi, BenGong knows that you are a smart person and know how to advance and retreat. BenGong is not afraid to say something to you from the bottom of my heart. The palace gate is as deep as the sea. If you can turn back as soon as possible, don't let yourself fall into the mud. What do you think?"”
As expected, it was heartfelt words.
Murong Hanzhi smiled bitterly. If this was said by an outsider of the palace, it would have been somewhat painful, but when it was said by the favored Consort Yang Shu, it was somewhat ironic. " Yes, this servant understands. This servant has always wanted to leave, but this servant's guilty body…"
" BenGong promised you, and I have never changed it." Consort Yang Shu immediately continued," But you also know that Yue 'er has been having problems recently. The Emperor is also unwell, BenGong has not had the chance to tell the Emperor.”
"Yes, this servant knows that Niangniang has put in a lot of effort for this servant and her siblings. This servant is extremely grateful!”Murong Hanzhi wanted to get up and kneel down again, but was stopped by Consort Yang Shu.
" I'm very pleased that you can say that." Consort Yang Shu seemed to be very satisfied with what Murong Hanzhi said and nodded." Yue 'er and Wangyue's marriage has long been decided, and it won't change because of anything." It's just that BenGong didn't expect that Yue 'er and HanZhi wouldn't agree with you. You also know Yue' er's temper. If you insist, you won't be able to persuade him. He listens to you now. Are you willing to help BenGong persuade him to marry Moongazer?”
The more Murong Hanzhi listened, the paler his face became. In the end, there was no trace of blood left! So, so Consort Yang Shu did not punish her because she wanted her to be the Fifth Prince's lobbyist. She said that she had convinced the person she loved to marry another woman?!
Hahaha! God, you're really cruel. Do you think I haven't lost enough? Do you want to take away the last bit of dignity and hope I have as a human?
Seeing that she was just staring blankly with a pale face, the smile on Consort Yang Shu's face did not change, but her eyes slowly turned cold. Or you…"
" No." As his mind went blank, Murong Hanzhi heard his own voice become extremely pale and hollow." Your Majesty, you did not punish me, and you are even willing to forgive me. I am extremely grateful to Your Majesty!" Not to mention persuading the Fifth Prince, even if the Empress wanted this servant to die now, this servant would have no objections!”
These words were true. At this moment, she did have such a thought: It was better to die now than to live in such pain and humiliation! This was the first time she had thought of dying since she became a slave in Lone Bamboo, and it was for the prince of an enemy nation!
Consort Yang Shu smiled silently." Very good, then BenGong will wait for your good news. HanZhi, you definitely won't let BenGong down, right?”
Me?
It wouldn't happen.
Murong Hanzhi's lips twitched as he smiled. He slowly stood up, as if he was stepping on clouds. His entire body was soft and there was nowhere to put his strength.
This could only be the result, right?
