Chapter 362 His Highness Likes Her
"Get lost. I haven't fallen on hard times yet, but you can't wait to come and laugh at my mistakes. Concubine Xu, remember your identity. To put it nicely, you are a concubine listed in the royal jade disc. To put it bluntly, you are just a concubine. If I praise you, you really think you are something." The Second Imperial Concubine looked at Concubine Xu with gloomy eyes and cursed.
At this time, she was filled with rage and had no place to vent. She had lost her child, and even if she cut Lu Xiang into pieces, it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in her heart, not to mention that Concubine Xu was standing in front of her and speaking in a sarcastic tone.
If not her, who else should I scold?
When Concubine Xu heard the Second Imperial Concubine's angry curses, her face suddenly turned pale and blue, and she was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die.
"Since the Second Imperial Concubine does not need my service, I will take my leave." Concubine Xu stood up angrily, said this and turned away.
The Second Imperial Concubine was so angry that she grabbed a pillow and threw it out: "Bitch, get out of here."
The pillow did not hit Concubine Xu, but fell to the ground.
The Second Imperial Concubine lay on the edge of the bed, breathing heavily.
Chu Chengli walked into the room at this time, looked at the mess on the floor, and frowned deeply.
"What are you making trouble for?"
The Second Imperial Concubine clutched the quilt tightly, her eyes bloodshot and filled with hatred as she said, "Your Highness, our child is gone. Your Highness must seek justice for our child and avenge him."
Chu Chengli walked around the pillows and medicine on the ground, approached the Second Princess with his hands behind his back, and sat down on the stool. His handsome face was slightly tired.
"My father has severely punished my third brother and his wife. He has confined them to their homes for three months and fined them one year's salary. He also asked them to copy the Rebirth Mantra for the child 100 times and send it to the mansion later. I hope that the child will soon ascend to heaven and be reborn into a good family in the next life."
The Second Imperial Concubine listened, her eyes widened, and she suddenly screamed: "Your Highness, this is not what I want. It was Lu Xiang who harmed me. She was the one who harmed our child. Your Highness, kill her. Go and kill her to avenge our son."
"Nonsense." Chu Chengli shouted coldly, "With so many eyes watching, it has nothing to do with Miss Lu San, how can you hold her responsible for this vengeance?"
When the Second Princess heard the scolding, she was stunned at first, then she showed a sad yet sarcastic smile.
"Your Highness, you know, you know everything, it was Lu Xiang who did it, but you are so anxious to clear her name, why?"
Chu Chengli's face froze, and he said solemnly, "You've been so shocked that you don't know what you're talking about anymore."
"No, I know. I know exactly what I am talking about." The Second Imperial Concubine suddenly yelled with a distorted face, "There is a photo of her in the books that Your Highness often reads. Your Highness likes her, and you like Lu Xiang."
Chu Chengli's expression changed drastically. He stared at the Second Imperial Concubine without blinking, and said in a deep voice, "Who told you to understand my movements?"
He didn't deny it, but just accused her of not daring to touch his things.
The Second Princess gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with hatred. It was unclear whether she hated Lu Xiang for stealing her husband's love, or hated Lu Xiang for causing the death of her child.
"Your Highness, don't forget that she is the Queen's person. The Queen and Concubine Shu are irreconcilable. She has harmed Liu Anyao, and there is no way she will have any result with Your Highness in this life. No matter how much Your Highness likes her, she will not marry Your Highness."
The Second Princess roared out of control.
Chu Chengli's expression became more and more gloomy as she spoke, and his eyes were dark and surging, like an endless abyss, revealing coldness and sharpness.
He suddenly stood up, grabbed the Second Imperial Concubine by the collar, and forced her to look directly at him: "Chen Jingshu, whether I can marry her or not, it is not a reason for you to plot against her and put her to death."
The Second Princess looked deep into Chu Chengli's dark eyes. For some reason, she saw a deep and suppressed love in those eyes.
When Chu Chengli admitted it directly, the Second Princess suddenly felt that her already scarred heart was once again ruthlessly crushed into mud, and it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.
She gritted her teeth tightly, her face twisted with resentment and unwillingness: "Your Highness has admitted it... She stole my husband, why shouldn't I get rid of her."
She didn't want to get rid of Lu Xiang for Liu Anyao, but because the Second Prince liked her.
Liu Anyao's request was just a coincidence, and she found a perfect excuse for her selfishness.
She would never allow anyone to take her husband away. The Second Prince liked Lu Xiang, so Lu Xiang deserved to die.
Chu Chengli looked at the Second Imperial Concubine with a cold gaze: "So you have to bear the consequences of your own actions. If you don't have the ability to scheme against others, you will have to bear the consequences of being schemed against."
He didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Lu Xiang. This woman had clearly harmed Liu Anyao and had been against the Liu family and his mother. But her cruel yet moving eyes were deeply imprinted in his mind and appeared in his dreams over and over again.
Chu Chengli felt like he was crazy, but he couldn't help missing Lu Xiang. The girl, who had not yet reached marriage age, was as deadly a temptation as a poppy.
She is cruel and ruthless, but also calm and able to deal with every emergency in the fastest time.
"Your Highness, how can you say such cruel words? That's your child." The Second Princess raised her head, grabbed Chu Chengli's wrist tightly with one hand, and roared miserably, tears rolling down her cheeks like beads that had broken off the string.
She tried to see a trace of sadness for losing her child on the face of the handsome man in front of her, but all she saw was anger.
He was furious because she had exposed the deepest secret in his heart.
He doesn't feel sorry for his children, nor does he feel sorry for himself.
His Highness was blaming her for her incompetence.
Chu Chengli let go of the Second Imperial Concubine and pushed her back with force. He said expressionlessly, "Child? Do I need someone to give birth to a child for me? Chen Jingshu, recognize your own identity and don't try to challenge my bottom line. I won't bother with you this time. If you come to my study room casually in the future, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between husband and wife."
Having said that, he turned around indifferently and strode away.
"Your Highness... Your Highness..."
The Second Imperial Concubine lay on the bed, an inexplicable panic instantly taking over her whole body, making her terrified.
However, Chu Chengli didn't even turn his head.
The Second Princess looked at the empty house and burst into tears.
How could she forget that beneath the true appearance of this gentle man, there was ruthlessness, indifference and great ambition. He married her only because he was attracted by the power of the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion and never because of love.
“Master, the calligraphy and paintings beside Madam Xiao are here.”
The maid Lingxiang walked into the inner room with her body bent, not daring to look at the Second Imperial Concubine's expression at the moment, and reported in a low voice.
Linglong was ordered to recuperate from her injuries, so she went into the house to serve.
Although she held the position of a head maid, she was not considered the Second Imperial Concubine's most trusted maid.
"Tell her to get out. I won't see anyone." The Second Princess said angrily with red eyes.
Lingxiang was slightly startled and retreated in response.
