Tingshui Lianche announced that she would meet the concubine. Ji Ruhua felt that it was too embarrassing to stay in this position any longer. The concubine Nian came at the right time, and she had the excuse to leave.
However, before Ji Ruhua could put her thoughts into action, her waist suddenly tightened, her body flew into the air for a moment, and the next moment her buttocks landed on a pair of legs. Shui Lianche's threatening words rang in her ears: "You'd better not move."
Ji Ruhua's whole body stiffened. She really didn't like Shui Lianche, she really didn't like Shui Lianche's touch, but... this was her choice, she had to endure it.
When Zhou Nian came over with a bowl of steaming chicken soup, this was the scene he saw.
After a slight pause, a hint of anger flashed in Zhou Nian's eyes. Ji Ruhua! The traitor who caused the young lady to be arrested!
Putting her mind at ease, Zhou Nian walked forward without changing her expression and bowed to Shui Lianche: "I pay my respects to the Emperor."
Shui Lianche raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Nian, and memories of Zhou Nian emerged in his mind. At that time, he seemed to be drunk and actually mistook Zhou Nian for Ji Ruhua.
He also promised to treat her well for the rest of her life, giving her whatever she asked for. He seemed to have promised her many things. However, he didn't remember. That night of lovemaking was all that remained between them. He had long forgotten Zhou Nian.
"No need to be so polite." Shui Lianche said with his usual gentleness.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Nian stood up, placed the chicken soup on the table, and continued, "I will not disturb you any longer."
Before he could even say goodbye, Shui Lianche had already said, "No problem, come sit over here."
Shui Lianche stretched out his hand to motion Zhou Nian to sit next to him, with a smile as warm as the sun on his face, like a fox wearing a hypocritical mask.
Zhou Nian hesitated for a moment and looked at Ji Ruhua, who had remained calm. It was not that she was belittling herself. Any other woman was not even worthy of being a green leaf in front of Ji Ruhua. Ji Ruhua's beauty was enough to make everything else pale in comparison.
Zhou Nian knew that her appearance was far inferior to Ji Ruhua's, and she also guessed some of Shui Lianche's thoughts. She was probably trying to use her to see Ji Ruhua's reaction.
After thinking about it, Zhou Nian very cooperatively walked forward and sat down next to Shui Lianche. She put her arms around Shui Lianche's arm and said with a look of resentment, "Why doesn't Your Majesty visit me recently?"
Shui Lianche glanced at Ji Ruhua casually, then took Zhou Nian in his arms and said with a smile, "How about I go to your place tonight?"
Zhou Nian lowered her eyes and said shyly, "Your Majesty, please don't break your promise."
"Sir, you are not joking." Shui Lianche glanced at Ji Ruhua's slightly frowned brows and unhappy expression, and his mood suddenly became better. This woman didn't say it, but she was actually thinking it.
Ji Ruhua tried her best to suppress the disgust in her heart. Shui Lianche's behavior made her feel like a prostitute in a brothel. He hugged her but kissed and kissed another woman. This was an insult to her.
So, almost without thinking, risking angering Shui Lianche, he took the opportunity when Shui Lianche wasn't paying attention, pulled Shui Lianche's hand away, and jumped out of Shui Lianche's arms.
Shui Lianche let go of Zhou Nian almost instantly, stood up suddenly, and reached out to grab Ji Ruhua.
Ji Ruhua hurriedly took a few steps back, bowed to Shui Lianche and said, "Ruhua will not disturb the emperor's leisure, and will take her leave."
After saying that, Ji Ruhua turned around and left without waiting for Shui Lianche to answer.
Shui Lianche's expression changed from gentle to cold.
