"Your Highness, I... I also want to see you." Zheng Chunhua didn't know why she said this. A voice in her head was clearly telling her: Run away quickly! No, you are Kangxi's woman! You cannot be involved with the Crown Prince, otherwise you will die a horrible death, and your entire family will be implicated...
But she couldn't help but say those words in her heart.
The prince was overjoyed and hugged the girl in his arms even tighter, murmuring Zheng Chunhua's name.
Zheng Chunhua had no idea how the Crown Prince had dragged her all the way from the gate tower. Yes, the two of them were actually running within the quiet palace walls. No one around them saw the couple. The only sound echoing along the long palace path was the sound of Zheng Chunhua's flowerpot bottom striking the bluestone bricks.
Zheng Chunhua ran with the Crown Prince into Chonghua Palace, the closest palace to them—another Eastern Palace of the Crown Prince.
When they entered, the palace was completely deserted, not even the usual cleaning staff were there; it was eerily quiet. Zheng Chunhua had been a little worried, but she really couldn't see a single person.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Zheng Chunhua was pulled into a bedchamber by the Crown Prince, who immediately pinned her to the ground. She was startled and slightly resisted the Crown Prince's kisses. However, little did she know, the more she tried to pull away, the more intensely the Crown Prince kissed her. The two of them thus became entangled and intertwined on the bluestone floor.
After kissing for an unknown period of time, the Crown Prince finally released Zheng Chunhua. Her hair was now disheveled, and her neck was covered with the marks he had left behind.
"Hua'er, don't worry, I will protect you." With that, the Crown Prince pulled her up from the ground and then lifted her up in his arms.
He quickly walked to the bed, placed Zheng Chunhua on it, and then haphazardly unbuttoned his clothes and began to take off his outer robe.
The woman lying on the bed watched the man, second only to the emperor, undress before her, her heart filled with a mixture of excitement and fear. Her body was no longer under her control; she knew that what she was doing would likely implicate innocent people. She didn't care about her own death, but her family…
“Your Highness, we can’t do this, the Emperor will…” Zheng Chunhua finally thought of her family, those she hadn’t seen for four or five years. Although they might not be as good as her, the thought that they might all be executed because of her one day filled her with deep fear.
The Crown Prince had already taken off half of his clothes when he saw Zheng Chunhua suddenly sit up in bed and mention the Emperor, so he stopped what he was doing.
Looking at the woman he longed for day and night on the bed, and recalling his father's stern face, a surge of hatred gradually welled up in his eyes.
Suddenly, the Crown Prince grabbed Zheng Chunhua's shoulders and began kissing her passionately, a stark contrast to his previous gentle and refined demeanor. Zheng Chunhua seemed to have regained her senses and desperately tried to break free from the Crown Prince's grip, but as a weak woman, she was no match for him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Zheng Chunhua cried weakly, but it was no use. She thought she could stop the Crown Prince's crazy actions, but little did she know that her words only further aroused some repressed and agitated emotions within the Crown Prince.
Her clothes had been torn by the Crown Prince, revealing her fair and alluring body. The Crown Prince's eyes were now slightly red, making him unrecognizable as the gentle, refined, and magnanimous prince he usually was.
He stripped Zheng Chunhua of her last rags, crawled on top of her, and frantically entered her.
"ah!"
Because the Crown Prince's movements were too rough, Zheng Chunhua felt a long-lost pain spread throughout her body after he had taken her so forcefully. She hadn't served Kangxi in a long time, so she felt uncomfortable with such a stormy entry.
The Crown Prince felt an immense surge of pleasure coursing through his mind; he even felt a thrill of theft. He had finally obtained this woman, his father's woman!
He thrust violently into the woman beneath him. The palace was silent except for Zheng Chunhua's low sobs.
"Don't cry, I will protect you," the Crown Prince said, unable to help but comfort him.
"Your Highness, I am afraid." Zheng Chunhua already knew there was no way out. They had just crossed that line, and it was too late to regret it.
"What's there to be afraid of? No one will know. The Mo Yun beside you is already mine," the Crown Prince said.
A hint of panic flashed in Zheng Chunhua's eyes. Sure enough, everything today was a conspiracy between Mo Yun and the Crown Prince.
The two lingered for a while longer before the prince finally stopped, satisfied. They lay there on the bed, their bodies still, staring intently at the auspicious cloud pattern on the curtains, without uttering a word.
“From now on, I will put a fan in that window, and you can have Mo Yun bring you here,” the Crown Prince said.
"Your Highness, let's not meet again in the future. This time, let's forget everything." Zheng Chunhua immediately sat up, crossed her arms, and shook her head when she saw that the Crown Prince was still having long-term secret meetings with her.
“Chunhua, I can’t live without you anymore. You’re all alone in that Shufangzhai, so why not come and keep me company? Anyway, the Emperor… doesn’t favor you as much anymore.” The Crown Prince sat up and said.
“But if this continues, someone will eventually find out. I don’t care if I die, but I’m afraid the Emperor will also despise the Crown Prince,” Zheng Chunhua said.
The crown prince looked at the woman and realized she was indeed a kind woman; he had begun to worry about his safety.
The Crown Prince put his arm around Zheng Chunhua's shoulder, raised his hand to lift her chin, and said, "I will be very careful, don't worry. No one will know."
Zheng Chunhua tried to retort, but the Crown Prince silenced her with a kiss. The Crown Prince then covered her body once more.
"Crown Prince, Crown Prince!!" Zheng Chunhua groaned, calling out the word "Crown Prince," which seemed to further arouse the man on top of her. He thrust into her heart again and again, pushing her to the peak of pleasure time and time again. This feeling was something the old emperor had never given her. She never knew that doing this could have such wonderful moments.
They lingered until late at night, and the Crown Prince had to return to Minqing Palace. Zheng Chunhua could not stay out all night either. So, the Crown Prince returned home with Xiao Bao by his side, and Zheng Chunhua, under Mo Yun's cover, safely returned to Shufangzhai.
Huanyi couldn't help but ask Zheng Chunhua where she had gone and why she was so late in returning. Moyun said that the noble lady had gone to pay her respects to Consort De and had run into Consort Hua, and they talked until late.
