Chapter 602: Private Meeting
Jinse has been having a very unhappy time recently.
For several days in a row, the prince stayed at Runiang's house, and she was so jealous that her teeth were aching.
If it was any other maid, she would just find a way to deal with it, but Runiang was different. Runiang was a palace maid beside Concubine Wang, and was specially given to the prince.
If she attacked Runiang, it would definitely anger Concubine Wang, so she could only endure it.
Jinse felt that Concubine Wang's decision to give the maid to the prince was partly due to her dissatisfaction with herself...
She couldn't bear the thought of other people giving birth to the prince's child, and because her belly hadn't moved, the prince still had no children.
Jinse touched her belly and wondered why she was so disappointing.
Jinse felt that if one used beauty to serve a man, love would fade as beauty faded. Therefore, to make a man devoted to her, one had to rely on more than just love.
This man must feel that she is important and cannot live without her.
Jinse knew that the prince wanted to be emperor, so she tried her best to help him.
In fact, this was indeed the case. When she did something well, the prince would be particularly good to her, agreeing to everything she asked, obeying her in every way, and being very gentle. If she messed up something, the prince would be cold to her.
Because of this, Jinse tried even harder to do something well, for fear of messing it up.
She originally thought that Haoden would be a helper, but she didn’t expect him to be so stupid!
He couldn't even handle Princess Jingshu!
Jinse had made a good plan before, letting Princess Jingshu marry Haoden. How could the emperor's daughter live a good life if she married the Xiongnu? This could not only avenge Princess Jingshu, but also help Haoden, which in turn would also help the prince, killing two birds with one stone.
Who would have thought that Haoden would choose such a stupid way, and was even thrown into the Sky Prison, and was not released until late at night.
Jinse felt that Haoden was too stupid. If he continued to let himself do what he wanted, he would definitely mess it up. She had to give him some advice.
That’s why I agreed with Haoden to meet at Yanchun Tower.
In the evening, Jinse disguised herself, quietly left the palace, took a carriage to Yanchun Tower, and then entered through the back door of Yanchun Tower.
There is a special room in Yanchun Tower, which is not used to receive guests, but is used by Jinse to meet important people secretly.
Jinse entered the room and sat there waiting.
After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door.
Jinse opened the door, let Haoden in, and then closed the door tightly.
Haoden was full of anger. He felt close to Jinse, so he said everything in his heart: “I don’t want to marry Princess Jingshu anymore! No matter how many benefits marrying her brings, I don’t want it. I would rather flatten this land with my cavalry and grab whatever I want, rather than suffer this anger!”
Jinse comforted Haoden with a few words, asking him to calm down, not to act on impulse, and to put the overall situation first.
The anger in his heart had just subsided a little.
“The emperor refused to marry her to me.” Haoden said helplessly.
"You kidnapped her, so you should..." Jinse paused, a little disappointed. "We in the Great Zhou have a saying: 'The rice is cooked, the rice is done.' You made her yours, so she has to marry you even if she doesn't want to. Even if she's a princess, you still have to consider your reputation. The emperor will grant the marriage."
Haoden made a big fuss and kidnapped the person, so he shot a wild goose for her.
After Jinse heard Haoden’s actions, she almost laughed out of anger.
“Hun warriors don’t do such things.” Haoden frowned.
Jinse: “…”
What an idiot.
Why did I save such a fool in the first place?
Incense was burning in the incense burner, smoke was curling up, and a faint fragrance filled the entire room.
Jinse calmed down and tried to persuade her earnestly.
The hostility in Haoden’s body dissipated a lot, and he listened carefully.
Jinse looked at Haoden, and originally she didn’t like him very much, but under the dim light, she saw that he was very tall, with deep and firm facial features, and the honey-colored skin under his neck. She could completely imagine the sturdy body under his clothes.
For some reason, Jinse felt an inexplicable restlessness in her heart...
When Haoden saw her beautiful eyes looking at him, he already had an inexplicable fondness for Jinse, and when he was looked at like this, his heart itched.
Haoden unconsciously moved closer and held the person in his arms.
Just like dry wood meeting fire, it ignites instantly.
The red candles shone with an ambiguous light, and pieces of clothing fell to the ground one by one...
Jinse felt that something was wrong with her, but her head was in a mess, like a paste. She was completely unable to think and could only follow her instincts and be overwhelmed by the surging tide.
…
Half an hour ago.
Prince Rui's Palace.
Zhao Shu was handling official business in the study when Runiang suddenly came to him and said that she saw the princess going out in disguise and felt it was a bit strange, so she asked the servants to follow the princess quietly.
As a result, the servants saw the princess enter a brothel called "Yanchunlou". Not long after the princess entered, she saw the second prince of the Xiongnu also enter the brothel!
"I was worried about the princess's safety, so I asked someone to follow her. Your Highness, why did the princess go to the brothel? The second prince went in just as the princess entered the brothel. They both went into Yanchun Tower one after another. Could it be that they had made an appointment? In the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone..." Runiang said meaningfully.
"How do I know that he is the second prince of the Xiongnu?" Zhao Shu glanced at her.
Runiang lowered her eyes. This incident was indeed not what she had claimed, that a servant had seen. In fact, she had received a note that said so. Then, she happened to see the princess sneak out, and she felt that this was very likely to be the case. She had no choice but to seize the opportunity and quickly come to complain to the prince.
Runiang thought for a moment and came up with an excuse: "Yesterday, the Xiongnu envoy was taken to the prison, and many people saw him on the road. The servants said it was the man who was taken away yesterday. I heard that man was the second prince of the Xiongnu..."
Zhao Shu glanced at Runiang coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, maybe you saw it wrong."
There was a warning in his eyes.
If the news of Princess Rui's secret meeting with someone were to get out, it would bring shame to the royal palace.
"Yes, Your Highness, I was mistaken." Runiang said quickly.
"Go down, I still have official business to attend to."
After Runiang left, Zhao Shu could no longer handle his official duties.
Runiang and Jinse don't get along, so what Runiang said might have been exaggerated.
But what if it is true?
After all, there was indeed some unclear connection between Jinse and Haoden.
He is a man, and a man will not tolerate his woman betraying him.
Did Jinse really go to see Haoden in the middle of the night?
Zhao Shu suddenly stood up and went to look for Jinse, but he couldn't find her.
When she asked the maidservant who served her, she was also hesitant and couldn't explain clearly.
Zhao Shu frowned, asked a servant to bring him a cloak, put it on, and went out, riding in a carriage towards Yanchun Tower.
Zhao Shu arrived at the door of Yanchun Tower and was greeted by the madam.
"Sir, please come in. Do you have any girls you know in our Yanchun Tower?" the madam asked enthusiastically.
When Zhao Shu raised his head and his face appeared from under his cloak and hood, the madam saw his face clearly and was suddenly stunned.
Zhao Shu narrowed his eyes and caught the madam's daze. Something was fishy. Could it be that she knew him?
Zhao Shu ignored her and walked in with two guards behind him.
