She followed Gu Heng seemingly obediently, but before leaving, she glanced at Wen Nong Nong.
That look was extremely complex, containing jealousy, hatred, and a hint of madness driven by a desire for revenge.
Although she moved quickly, Wen Nongnong still managed to catch it.
She curled her lips slightly, seemingly unconcerned.
But Wen Ruyi saw her nonchalant attitude as a provocation.
Wen Ruyi clenched her fists.
Warm, rice, rice!
After leaving Jingci Palace, Gu Heng slowed his pace and looked at the respectful and gentle woman behind him, his expression softening. "You don't need to worry too much about Grandmother's attitude. She has always liked lively and sweet-talking girls, and my aunt is exactly that kind of person, so Grandmother treats her more kindly."
Upon hearing this, Wen Ruyi felt no comfort whatsoever; instead, she felt as if a needle had been pierced her heart, leaving her extremely uncomfortable. However, she had to feign indifference on the surface. "Your Majesty, I understand. As long as I can please Your Majesty, that's enough for me. I have no time to care about others..."
After saying that, she showed a shy expression on her face, lowered her head slightly, and revealed a section of her snow-white neck.
Seeing this, Gu Heng thought of the events of the past few nights and couldn't help but reach out and hold her hand.
Wen Ru felt a little smug when she saw that he had been seduced.
So what if Gu Heng is the emperor? He's still so young, how can he resist temptation?
Her fingers casually brushed across his palm, causing him to feel a tingling sensation and almost lose control.
But just as he was about to make a further move, Wen Ruyi quickly withdrew her hand.
It was as if the action just now was truly unintentional.
She curtsied to him and said softly, "Your Majesty is going to the Imperial Study to handle state affairs, so I will go back first. I didn't sleep well last night, so I would like to go back and rest for a while."
Her words immediately reminded Gu Heng of the madness of the previous night. After a long while, he replied in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
Wen Ruyi turned away shyly.
Gu Heng looked around for a while before going to the Imperial Study.
What he didn't know was that Wen Ruyi didn't go straight back to her bedchamber, but waited for Wen Nongnong on her way out of the palace.
Wen Ruyi leaned against the tree, thinking disdainfully, "So what if Wen Nongnong married Gu Linchao? She can only do the work of a servant and try to please him. Unlike me, who only needs to beckon with a finger and Gu Heng becomes her devoted subject. These past few days, he has been summoning her to his bedchamber every night, and he has already tasted the sweetness and can't live without her."
Wen Nongnong is a complete idiot. How could she know that winning a man's heart isn't just about brewing chicken soup for the soul?
Thinking about it this way, she felt a little better.
Despite being given the title of Regent's Consort, Wen Nongnong was still the same incompetent fool.
Wen Ruyi looked down on it with disdain.
To her surprise, Wen Nongnong did not come out of Jingci Palace for a long time.
As the sun grew stronger, she felt hot all over.
Just as she decided to retreat to a shady spot to wait, she saw Wen Nongnong slowly walking out of Jingci Palace.
Compared to her own anxiety, Wen Nongnong appeared relaxed, her fair skin seemingly glowing in the sunlight.
Wen Ruyi's pupils contracted slightly, and she walked out from under the tree.
"The Regent's Wife".
Wen Nongnong wasn't surprised to see her here. She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Why hasn't Consort Liu gone back yet? Could she be waiting for me here on purpose?"
Hearing her condescending tone, Wen Ruyi clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
