This is intolerable!
However, the fact that these two people were able to get in showed that her people were no longer trustworthy. She quickly thought of a solution, but no matter how many methods she tried, she could not get away safely.
"Consort Hao, calm down and behave yourself. I'll have Zhao Bi become your male concubine," Sun Yun said, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world. It's unclear where she got this idea from.
However, it seems that few women with power don't have a few male lovers or concubines.
Zhao Shu expressed her understanding and was also very glad that the Crown Prince did not marry her, otherwise who knows if she would overthrow Dayong and seize power in the future.
Upon hearing this, Hao Shumei frowned and looked at Sun Yun with a strange gaze. "Now that you're in charge of the Zhao family, you must have many male lovers, right?"
"To be my male concubine, Sun Yun, one must be a top-tier beauty in the world. I don't think anyone is qualified, especially someone like Zhen Qizhong. Tsk tsk, even the women in brothels are more attractive than him."
Zhao Shu couldn't stand it any longer and had to interrupt, "Are you here to talk about male concubines or to discuss serious matters? If you don't have anything important to say, I'll have to go first."
Sun Yun raised an eyebrow at Zhao Shu, "Alright, you're younger than me, you go first, so you won't say I'm bullying the younger one if you lose."
Ha, Zhao Shu couldn't help but laugh. In terms of age, this princess could be your grandmother. But since she has already yielded, there's no need for me to be coy and insist on yielding back and forth. It's so pointless.
"Consort Hao, you know about Zhao Bi and Zhen Qizhong's affair. I don't believe you're still foolish enough to forgive such a man. First of all, he deceived you, your feelings, and your body. You must be resentful for all these years of misplaced trust. Of course, resentment is useless. In the world of love, the greatest inner demon is resentment. As a fellow woman, I advise you not to be resentful for such a person. Forget the past, and let's start over, shall we?"
Zhao Shu planned to first appeal to her emotions and reason with her, and if that didn't work, she would resort to her trump card: reasoning with her. Although she disliked Hao Shumei, in politics, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends, only permanent interests. If Hao Shumei could join hands with her, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
Hao Shumei looked at Zhao Shu sarcastically, sat down nearby, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Princess, do you know what love is? Have you ever experienced it? Do you know how an empty heart can be slowly filled until it completely resides there, how a single word from him can make me smile like an idiot, how I can't help but recall that feeling of my heart beating over and over again?"
Zhao Shu asked herself, and the answer she got was that she knew, she knew the feeling of an empty heart being slowly filled, she knew the feeling of falling asleep thinking about his every word and action during the long night, and she knew the feeling of her heart racing.
But to fall in love with someone who isn't truly sincere is foolish and stupid.
"All I know is that people can't be indiscriminate in right and wrong, and they can't be irresponsible to themselves. If someone is hurt and you still try to influence them by hurting yourself, then I'd rather not have that person. There's a saying that goes, 'If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be punished by heaven and earth.' Feelings are selfish. Do you think Zhao Bi would let you off the hook if he became emperor?"
Hao Shumei sneered, "Does the princess think I'm afraid of him?"
"Your Highness, do not forget that you are the current emperor's concubine, not the next emperor's. Entering the palace was a mistake for you. Tell me, can a man who uses women be trusted?"
Zhao Shu still tried to persuade her, because this woman could deliver a devastating blow to Zhao Bi, especially if she cooperated willingly.
However, even though Hao Shumei had gone mad, she still sneered, and Zhao Shu, who had been talking until her mouth was dry, remained unmoved.
"Whether I believe it or not is my business, and whether I am willing to work for him is also my business. Princess, you are worrying too much. Do you think I will believe your words? Don't forget, we have a blood feud between us. One day, I will kill you with my own hands."
She spoke coldly, her gaze terrifyingly bloodthirsty.
Zhao Shu suddenly realized, that's right, she and Hao Shumei had a blood feud, but she didn't think that having a feud meant they couldn't cooperate.
Thinking of this, she chuckled softly. She was becoming more and more like a qualified politician, a ruthless politician.
“Tsk tsk tsk, when will this cycle of revenge end? Consort, don’t forget, you still have a grudge against the Empress’s lineage. Back then, the Hao family’s father and son wanted to kill the Crown Prince. That alone was enough to warrant the extermination of nine generations of their family.” Sun Yun interjected, “Now, over the years, your Hao family has declined more and more. Don’t you understand yet? You are no longer of any use to Zhao Bi. He approached you not because you were so beautiful, but because you were chosen by Yi De. That’s all.”
"Shut up! The hatred for killing your father is irreconcilable! And now you want to cooperate with me? No way!" she roared angrily. "If you have the guts, kill me! As long as I live, I will never give up on killing you!"
She said the last sentence to Zhao Shu.
"Hey, Hao Shumei, she has a grudge against you, but I have no grudge against you. Why don't you cooperate with me? I'll help you get Zhao Bi, and I guarantee he'll be as obedient as a dog. How about it?" Sun Yun seized the opportunity to lure Hao Shumei to her side.
Hao Shumei sneered, "To conspire with a tiger? Do you think I don't know what you're up to? Cooperation is absolutely impossible."
"Hey, do you believe I'll kill you right now!" Sun Yun gritted her teeth in anger. She had said so much about principles and offered so many benefits, yet he still wouldn't refuse to cooperate. She was losing patience.
Hao Shumei stretched out her neck, "Am I afraid of you?"
"You may not be afraid, but the descendants of the Hao family are. Unless you want the Hao family to be wiped out, Hao Shumei, since you know that your father died at my hands, you should know that I, the princess, never lie. If you do not cooperate, I will have your Hao family members executed by slow slicing one by one! Think of your brothers and sisters, think of your clansmen. If you have any conscience, you should think of them."
