But Su He had already shut up, so Su Wanyan had to calm herself down and waved her hand, indicating, "Sit down and talk."
"Yes." After kneeling for a while, Su He's knees were numb. She staggered to her feet and sat properly on the armchair next to her.
"Then let's continue with my previous question. How much do you know about the Princess?" Fearing he might not understand, Su Wanyan added, "I mean, how much do you know about the Princess's male concubines?"
"I don't know much, but I've had some understanding of it."
Su Wanyan's eyes lit up: "Do you know anything about it?"
"Yes, when the Princess tried to persuade me before, she would always send some of her favorite male concubines to lobbi me... so..."
Oh~
So that's how it is. She thought Su He had been forced into that situation and had considered it.
"Just say what you know." Su Wanyan picked up her teacup and took a sip.
"..." Su He frowned: "But they are all just words that lure ordinary people with wealth and glory."
Asking him to say it word by word was really difficult for him.
“In that case,” Su Wanyan put down her teacup and said, “I’ll ask a question, and you answer it.”
"Yes." Su He lowered her eyes.
"What are the Princess's habits when she has sex with her male lovers?"
Su He's body trembled violently: "This...this..." How would he know!
He didn't...have sexual relations with the princess...
"Didn't the princess's male favorites mention this when they were trying to persuade you?"
Since the male favorites were willing to go and persuade her, it must have been a good thing for them to be able to follow the princess. When they went to persuade her, they would definitely beautify the matter as a good thing, and they couldn't possibly not say it.
After all, male concubines are just that kind of thing, right?
Su He's face turned from dark to red in an instant. He lowered his head even further, clenching his fists tightly on his knees: "Yes... yes, there is..."
"Then you tell me."
"Well... before having sex, the princess's personal nanny would examine the male lover's body, seemingly out of concern that someone might harm the princess..."
"Anything else?"
“…Ahem.” Su He’s face grew increasingly red: “They say that the Princess…likes men who are absolutely obedient to her, but…after things get going, she…”
"Getting better and better?" Getting better and better in what way?
"..." Su He suddenly knelt down: "I am sorry that I cannot say anything more. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
Su Wanyan stared blankly at Su He for a moment before realizing what was happening: "Oh! Getting better and better!"
That's what I meant!
I didn't react for a moment!
Su He: "..."
Is this really Princess Gong?
"Ahem..." Su Wanyan was a little embarrassed and coughed twice: "Alright, I've heard enough about the Princess's matter."
She called out, "Someone come here."
Wang Zhang, who was guarding outside the door, immediately came in: "Your Majesty?"
"Go to the storeroom and get some silver for Young Master Su, and find him a place to stay in the city."
Su He's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up abruptly: "Wait."
"Um?"
Upon meeting Su Wanyan's gaze, Su He immediately lowered his head and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I have nowhere to go now. If Your Majesty has any need for my help, please do not hesitate to ask."
"I'm afraid that won't work," Su Wanyan said bluntly.
Su He trembled and looked up in confusion: "Isn't Your Highness going to deal with the Eldest Princess?"
"Precisely because it's about dealing with the eldest princess, you're no good."
"Why?" Su He asked, her voice trembling with emotion.
Su Wanyan sighed softly and waved her hand, indicating, "Please get up and sit down first."
Su He lowered her head: "This humble subject should kneel."
"..." Su Wanyan followed him, held up a finger and said, "First, I want to use my good looks to seduce the princess. You are too proud to grovel before her. Using you to seduce her will not work."
Then she extended a second finger: "Secondly, the princess may have admired you at first, but that's definitely not the case now. She's torturing you like this just to show her authority. Even if she really sends you in, you'll probably only be the one who succumbs to her pleasure."
Given the princess's current status and behavior, what kind of male concubine wouldn't she want?
If she likes someone like Su He, and can't have Su He, she can always find another substitute.
The reason Su He was being tortured like this was not because she couldn't have the love she wanted, but because Su He disobeyed her orders.
"Just like you said at the beginning, all the princess wants is an obedient male concubine. You have rejected her time and time again, challenging her authority. Even if you give in to her now, she won't let you off easily." Su He couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that what the princess wanted was just an obedient male concubine.
Su He raised her eyes: "But where can this commoner go now?"
"I will find you a place to stay."
"The Princess's power is at its zenith. Even if the Princess Consort arranges a residence for me, I'm afraid it won't escape the Princess's notice."
"..." Su Wanyan couldn't refute this point.
“Even if the princess has a new male favorite, she will not let this commoner go.” Su He’s eyes flashed with hatred: “Since we are all going to die anyway, let this commoner die with some meaning.”
He naturally did not want to flatter or fawn over the princess, but if he could take revenge on her, that would be a different story.
He just wanted to live a peaceful life. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why should he be treated so unfairly?
Since ancient times, there has been a question of suitability for matchmakers. Why should he have to comply with her wishes just because she, the eldest princess, wants him to be her male concubine?
He did consider revenge, but as a commoner, he had no power to contend with imperial authority.
Now that an opportunity has presented itself, how could he possibly let it slip by?
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyan couldn't help but start to ponder...
Actually, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Su He to go. After all, the Princess wanted Su He to submit, and sending Su He there would greatly satisfy the Princess's vanity.
only……
Su Wanyan said, "The Princess and I don't get along. If I send you there, she might take out her anger on you because you've sided with me. At that time, her torment of you might be doubled."
Of course, there is another possibility: the eldest princess might interpret her behavior as a gesture of goodwill towards her.
Even so, Su He's situation won't be much better.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, you may send this humble subject there. Whether or not he catches the Princess's eye is entirely up to my abilities!"
Su Wanyan raised an eyebrow, feeling that Su He was now trying to take the princess down with her.
She leaned back in her armchair: "There's no need to be so reckless. I already have a way to thwart the eldest princess while ensuring your safe retreat. However, it's impossible for you to completely bring down the eldest princess. Don't be impulsive."
She knew it the moment the eldest princess stood in front of her that day.
The eldest princess is not a fool.
"Yes!" Su He kowtowed to the floor: "From this day forward, whatever Your Majesty commands, I will do!"
