"Ugh... ugh..."
Li Zhu vomited on the spot. He had no choice but to vomit. The stench was so strong that it was nauseating, especially since it came from a woman twice his age!
"Li Zhu, you..."
Seeing Li Zhu's reaction, Consort Zhu's face turned deathly pale with anger, and she couldn't even utter a word!
"What do you mean, 'you'? Have you no shame? I'm your junior, I should call you 'Auntie'! How could you be so lustful towards me? How could you be so filthy?"
Li Zhu cursed without giving any face whatsoever, and most importantly, he didn't utter a single swear word!
"You...you..."
Consort Zhu was so angry that her body trembled. She had never been insulted like this before.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Look at yourself, you resentful woman! No wonder even Father Emperor doesn't want to touch you. You only deserve the favor of that man who only does it once a night, or three times a night..."
"You...you..."
Consort Zhu was so angry that her chest felt tight, but she didn't know how to refute him for a moment. She was obviously so angry that she lost her mind and her mouth was also not working. She was of noble birth and had never suffered such humiliation. Even if she was caught treason, the emperor would only confine her to her palace!
"If I were you, I wouldn't even have the face to live in this world. You wouldn't even spare your own juniors. How could you do that? It's my fault, though. Who gave me such boundless talent, such undeniable charisma, and such a handsome appearance..."
Li Zhu's words made Consort Zhu feel utterly disgusted. If there were terms like "Puxin Nan" or "Xi Gou" in ancient times, Consort Zhu would probably have just thrown them at Li Zhu and told him to go back and take a piss in his reflection...
"That's enough... If you're going to kill me, then kill me. Why torture me like this..."
Consort Zhu finally snapped, regaining the toughness she had shown when facing the Emperor!
"Kill you?"
Li Zhu sneered and continued.
"You're not ready to die yet; dying now would be too easy for you..."
What do you want to do?
Consort Zhu looked at Li Zhu warily and asked, "If you don't covet her beauty and don't want to kill her, then why did you take her away?"
"What am I supposed to do? Weren't you being quite proactive just now? Why are you scared now?"
Li Zhu couldn't help but tease, his tone full of sarcasm!
"Li Zhu, don't be so smug. My father will definitely avenge me..."
Consort Zhu had no choice but to utter harsh words!
"He's just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to steal his own daughter-in-law. Do you think threatening me with him will work?"
Li Zhu curled his lip and said in a very disdainful tone!
Consort Zhu's face turned pale and then red as Li Zhu rebuked her, after all, these were undeniable facts!
Li Zhu stopped wasting words with Consort Zhu and escorted her out of the palace, back to his own Eastern Palace…
When Wang Yanzhang saw Consort Zhu, he was so shocked that he could hardly speak...
"Am I dreaming...?"
Wang Yanzhang simply couldn't believe that the Emperor had actually agreed to let Li Zhu take his concubine away...
"You don't want me to bring Consort Zhu out, do you?"
Seeing Wang Yanzhang's shocked expression, Li Zhu couldn't help but tease him and ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"This...this is impossible..."
Wang Yanzhang couldn't understand why this was happening. He knew his emperor and crown prince's relationship very well; how could things have changed so drastically all of a sudden? Even his own concubine could be taken away by Li Zhu—this was a huge change…
Nothing is impossible…
Li Zhu was also quite puzzled, but he couldn't understand why his adoptive father had changed so much, so he simply stopped thinking about it; after all, the person had already been brought back…
Inside a courtyard in Luoyang City!
Wang Riqing was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, while Yuwen Yingying sat on a stone bench nearby, watching intently and occasionally clapping and cheering...
Wang Riqing sheathed his sword and exhaled a breath of turbid air. He then walked over and sat down next to Yuwen Yingying. Yuwen Yingying thoughtfully offered him a handkerchief to wipe away his sweat, and the two seemed to have a very close relationship!
"Qingqing, we've been out for so long, we should go back now, otherwise Brother Zhuzhu will worry..."
"You little brat, how many times have I told you not to call him what that scoundrel taught you to? He clearly has ulterior motives..."
Wang Riqing couldn't stand Yuwen Yingying's affected tone of voice and wanted to change it back every time!
However, Yuwen Yingying disagreed and said...
"Sister Qingqing, that's what Brother Zhuzhu likes to call him..."
"You'll spoil him like this. We've been out for so long, and he hasn't even tried to contact us. He's so heartless..."
Wang Riqing couldn't help but complain!
"You didn't even tell anyone where you were going, how are you expecting Brother Zhu to find you?"
Yuwen Yingying couldn't help but scold him playfully!
This left Wang Riqing speechless for a moment, and he could only pout angrily!
"Never mind, Sister Qingqing, let's go back..."
Yuwen Yingying was about to leave with Wang Riqing when a middle-aged woman in a moon-colored dress pushed open the door and walked in!
The moment the other party entered the courtyard, Wang Riqing immediately stood up and respectfully greeted them.
"Master!"
If Li Zhu were here, he would also be shocked. He never expected that Wang Riqing had a master. He thought Wang Riqing was just a show-off who practiced casually...
"Since you call me Master, then none of you are allowed to leave here today..."
The middle-aged woman spoke with a cold face, giving off an impression of "keep away!"
"Master, why is that? We've been out long enough; we need to go back and tell our families, otherwise they'll worry..."
Wang Riqing couldn't help but ask in confusion!
"Are you worried that Li Zhu will be concerned?"
Upon hearing her master's words, Wang Riqing was stunned. She hadn't expected her master to know about Li Zhu. At this moment, she realized that something was amiss!
So she asked with a hint of doubt.
"Master, do you know the Crown Prince?"
"Hmph! I don't just know him, I have an irreconcilable hatred for him!"
The middle-aged woman said coldly!
Hearing her master's words, Wang Riqing finally understood why her master had suddenly found her today and secretly taken her and Yuwen Yingying away. It was all for a purpose. If that was the case, wouldn't her father and the crown prince be frantic with worry?
"Master, did you bring me out today on purpose?"
Wang Riqing looked at her master in disbelief. Her master, who used to love her so much, would actually use her one day. This was something she found hard to accept!
"Of course it was intentional, otherwise why would he threaten Li Zhu?"
The middle-aged woman had lost her former kindness; her eyes were filled with a madness fueled by hatred!
"You're so naughty, I'm going to find Brother Zhuzhu..."
After Yuwen Yingying finished speaking, she was about to leave when she saw more than a dozen women wielding long swords emerge from behind the middle-aged woman and stop her...
