Chapter 17: Female Desire
"Qiongzhi!"
He looked more serious than ever before as he stared at Pu Qiongzhi.
"We were meant to be lovers."
Pu Qiongzhi took half a step back.
She is not stupid.
On the contrary, she was extremely clear-headed.
What she has now will not change much more if she follows the Ninth Prince.
In the past life memories that her husband mentioned, she didn't even make the Pu family the richest family!
This path would naturally not be her choice.
"Your Highness, I am the wife of Earl Gongning."
"I am a woman."
"There's so little I can do."
“I can’t make up my mind about this path.”
"I dare not walk on a path covered with thorns."
When Gongsun Huaili heard her words, he felt that she was hesitant about this matter.
"Qiongzhi, as long as you are willing, leave everything else to me!"
"I will definitely not make things difficult for you."
"Just wait for me!"
Pu Qiongzhi nodded, "Your Highness, be careful about everything."
In Gongsun Huaili's view, her words meant she agreed.
…
"What are you trying to say?"
Nangong Hua lost his patience as he watched Pei Wanqing crying for a long time.
"Mingxu, my father rebelled a while ago and was imprisoned. I did this because the Ninth Prince threatened me with my father's life."
Nangong Hua was speechless after hearing her unfounded nonsense.
Everyone knew that she was devoted to the Ninth Prince. Why was she forcing him now?
"It's true. I confronted my father in front of the hall."
"He... has never considered the life and death of my aunt and me. He only cares about the son born to him by his concubine!"
After saying that, Nangong Hua was silent for a while.
"I'm sorry for letting you hear our family's dirty laundry." Pei Wanqing said as she broke down and leaned on Nangong Hua's shoulder.
Nangong Hua did not let her succeed and cleverly avoided "self-respect."
"Mingxu! Is it really necessary to do this?"
"That's fine..." Pei Wanqing sighed inexplicably, then continued talking about her father, "He blamed me for ruining his plan, but he couldn't have accomplished it in the first place."
"Alas..." Pei Wanqing sighed, thinking back. Even before he was executed, he arranged for the mother and son to escape.
But unfortunately, they have been intercepted and killed by her!
This is an injustice that should not have existed in the first place!
"Mingxu, if you are sincere towards Pu Qiongzhi, then our goals are the same."
"The new king of Dali Kingdom has been very active recently, you have to be careful."
…
Pu Qiongzhi was sent back home.
After waiting for a while, Nangong Hua came back.
"I saw it all," she said.
Nangong Hua was puzzled. "What did you see? Me and Pei Wanqing?"
"Yeah." Pu Qiongzhi waited for his explanation.
Nangong Hua then said, "She said she wanted to talk about something related to you."
"She said that the lady was working for the Ninth Prince."
Pu Qiongzhi raised her eyebrows.
She guessed that this was not what the Ninth Prince asked her to say.
However, Pei Wanqing is really...
Take every opportunity to cause trouble for her.
It seems that the Ninth Prince has a good relationship with her.
If this is the case, Your Majesty may be in danger.
I have to remind Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Nangong Hua would never believe Pei Wanqing's nonsense.
He actually felt that Gongsun Huaili might know Pei Wanqing's memories of her previous life.
You can get a glimpse of this from the fact that he is constantly hunting down himself and Jiayu.
How could Madam happen to see me and Pei Wanqing talking?
He must be trying to pry my wife away from me!
He won't be fooled easily and lose his composure.
In the previous life, both the lady and he supported Gongsun Huaili and devoted themselves to him until their death.
Things in this life have shifted.
The Ninth Prince most likely wants to correct the path he took in his previous life as soon as possible.
The first step was to marry the wife and obtain the Pu family's wealth...
Now that the eldest princess is in control of the government, everything is different.
"Let's go to Chunmanyuan and stay for a while?" Nangong Hua suggested.
Pu Qiongzhi thought about it and agreed.
"Call my aunt and the others."
"Okay, I'll follow Madam's arrangements."
The disputes outside have nothing to do with them.
…
April 1st.
Nangong Hua celebrates Pu Qiongzhi's birthday.
Pu Qiongzhi woke up in the morning and ate the longevity noodles he cooked himself.
"Come, ma'am, try it!"
"It's the taste my father made, his secret recipe!"
When Pu Qiongzhi tasted this familiar flavor, tears flashed in her eyes.
She beckoned at Nangong Hua, and he moved closer, waiting for her kiss as a reward.
Nangong Hua invited her to feed the fish by the lake.
The koi fish in the pond formed the words "Madam is getting richer day by day".
Pu Qiongzhi burst out laughing.
When Nangong Hua saw her smile, he knew that he had done well.
He made a sachet for her himself.
Although it is ugly, it was taught to him by his father-in-law.
Pu Qiongzhi unexpectedly liked it too.
She has everything she needs, but Nangong Hua is really thoughtful to do all this for her.
The people of the Pu family would naturally cook noodles for her and make sachets for her.
But this cherishing heart is different.
What's more, he also learned it specially and secretly stayed up late for a long time to prepare it for her.
She had seen it a long time ago.
Normally, a county lady like her should have a good birthday.
But now, the two of them don't want to be in the spotlight.
The eldest princess has just dealt with Pei Hancai's rebellious gang.
Recently, the court has been in a state of panic.
…
On the second day of April, the emperor suddenly passed away.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
The regime originally headed by the eldest princess lasted only a little over a month before it collapsed.
Although there was no imperial edict, the court did not become chaotic.
Overnight, all the royal relatives suddenly nominated the ninth prince to ascend the throne.
…
Gongsun Ying looked at his former lover who was being detained by the soldiers and was about to be taken away.
She roared at the people sitting inside unwillingly.
"Nangong Han, why did you betray me?"
"I had it all planned out! It was you who killed the emperor! Why? Why!!!"
Nangong Han couldn't hear a word.
"What are you planning? You're going to use my son to control the government!"
She sat inside holding her sick child, her heart aching.
"He's still so young, why won't you let him go..."
She didn't want to do these things either.
But the Ninth Prince and Jia Meiren are omnipresent. They will poison her son.
If he became emperor, they would definitely kill him.
She is his mother.
Even if I have to send the one I love to hell with my own hands...
She would also choose to protect her child's life.
This is a mother's instinct.
…
"Your Majesty! Where are you going?"
Fang Miaozhu followed Gongsun Huaili in a few steps.
Gongsun Huaili's victory this time was largely due to her and Pei Wanqing's suggestions.
He held the lives of both of them in his hands, so naturally they had no choice but to confess the truth.
Now, Gongsun Huaili has ascended the throne.
He is too lazy to even act.
"Go to Zhanxiangfang."
Fang Miaozhu took two steps forward and blocked his way.
"Your Majesty, are you going to see that prostitute Qin Huanyan?"
Gongsun Huaili frowned and asked, "How do you know Qin Huanyan?"
"I... Your Majesty, the nation is in mourning right now, and even the position of empress you promised me has been repeatedly postponed. How could you possibly meet such a filthy person at this time?"
Gongsun Huaili gave her a cold look and said, "It's not your turn to take care of this. Just take care of yourself."
"Your Majesty! How can you say that? Your Majesty..." Seeing him about to leave, Fang Miaozhu chased after him to block him.
Unfortunately, Wei Jie was one step faster, "Madam, His Majesty has something important to tell you."
"..." Fang Miaozhu looked at his back without even turning back, and was heartbroken.
How could he do this to her?
