Chapter 79 You're no good, all looks and no substance...
He turned around and closed the door.
The woman on the bed stopped resisting and straightened her body without moving, as if she were competing with him, letting him do whatever he wanted.
Shen Jizhao no longer held back, showing no mercy. With a swift grab, he tore at her clothes.
He Beiqing's outer robe was torn to shreds, and the fragments fluttered and fell to the ground, becoming dirty and tattered from his vigorous trampling.
Jiang Shuifu remained motionless, gritting her teeth, a hint of fear gradually rising in her eyes.
After venting her anger, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Jizhao, however, turned and leaned close to her ear, glancing at her sideways:
"It's not over yet. Do you think it's over already?"
He started tearing at her clothes again, extremely roughly, "Rip!"
Her outer garment was torn off, revealing only a thin, high-waisted dress underneath, and an invisible undergarment at the very bottom.
Jiang Shuifu was shocked that he would lose control like this, tearing her clothes without saying a word. Her fear intensified, and she took a few steps back.
Before she could retreat to the corner, the man grabbed her ankle tightly, and her clothes rubbed against the jade bed.
She sensed his ruthlessness and anger at that moment.
Shen Jizhao's eyes were like those of a prey he had coveted for a long time, hesitant to approach and devour. He kept his gaze fixed on her, inch by inch, and continued to tear at her, his eyes reddening with excitement, like a wolf baring its sharp fangs, opening its bloody maw to tear her apart.
Jiang Shuifu was completely panicked. Fear instantly filled her mind, and every nerve in her body tensed up. She threatened to push him away:
"Shen Jizhao, do you want me to hate you? If I have your child, I will end it with my own hands!"
These were indeed harsh words, words that the proud Crown Prince could absolutely not accept. His hand, which was fastening the front of her dress, paused for a moment.
He could feel his subordinate's rapid breathing, rising and falling, revealing the woman's fear.
But how is that enough?
That's far from enough!
The man suddenly lowered his head, bringing him very close to hers. His eyes were fixed on hers, and he tilted his head slightly, but didn't stop.
"Do you think I still care about you? Do you think I'd still care about your health or your wishes? You've repeatedly crossed my line. Do you really think I can lower my standards for you indefinitely? I've spoiled you too much! Right now, all I want to do is break your legs so you'll never have the strength to get out of bed again!"
Indeed, the reason she didn't run away or struggle at first was because she was certain that he would probably make a lot of noise but little action, just like before, and wouldn't really be able to do anything to her.
This also reflects his recent period of indulgence.
Shen Jizhao's hand had already grabbed her last piece of clothing, a small garment covering her body. She used all her strength to hold onto his hand, preventing him from tearing it off.
This was her last shred of dignity. She had softened her stance, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls, her voice tinged with pleading.
"No, no..."
Shen Jizhao's heart skipped a beat. He had once said he would collect her tears, never letting them fall to the ground. Thinking this, he reached out to wipe away her tears, one, two...
His palms formed a shallow pouch, his eyes darkened, and he unexpectedly leaned down and licked it, swallowing it all down his throat.
This did not awaken his reason; instead, his eyes grew even more excited, igniting the hidden, restrained darkness within him. He gripped her chin and berated her, word by word:
"So it wasn't a waste! Your confidence is a right I've granted you, but what a man can't tolerate most is a woman's betrayal. Elopement? You dare! I can take that right back at any time! You'd better behave yourself!"
When Jiang Shuifu saw him almost pervertedly lick her tears, she realized that he had been very accommodating to her these past few days, practically obeying her every word and being extremely kind.
Her act of "eloping" completely drove him mad.
She quickly explained:
"No, I didn't elope. I was kidnapped by assassins, and I was terrified! Then I met General He on the way, and he saved me. That's all."
He didn't believe it: "Really? Then why didn't you go home after you were kidnapped? Don't you recognize my arrow?"
She pouted, looking aggrieved: "How was I supposed to know it was you? I thought you were an assassin!"
Shen Jizhao softened a bit, released her chin and was about to get up: "Then I'll go ask him, lest I kill the wrong person."
Ask He Beiqing!
The woman beneath him immediately grabbed his robe, an action that enraged him so much that the veins on his body bulged.
He leaned down again, pinning her hands firmly to either side, and forcefully thrust his leg between hers, questioning her with an extremely sinister look:
"You still like him?"
Jiang Shuifu was startled by his action and was now completely unable to move, but he had indeed wronged her:
“I don’t like it. I’m just worried about my family. You haven’t come back for so long, and my uncle is still in jail. I want to see him!”
One lie after another drove Shen Jizhao to the brink of madness.
Having spent years navigating the treacherous waters of the imperial court, he could tell at a glance that she was lying. He bit her lips with considerable force, drawing blood instantly.
Only when she could no longer breathe did he glare at her, his eyes darting around, and question her:
"Really? If you were really worried about them, how dare you run away? You're clearly sure I'll save him. If you run away, with your father around, even if I want to settle scores with them, I'll have to think twice."
Seeing how clearly he understood her thoughts, Jiang Shuifu's eyes flickered guiltily, but she dared not shed another tear.
The man chuckled self-deprecatingly, shutting her down with her lie: "Besides, you can always blame it on the 'assassin'! From now on, you and he will roam the world in blissful intimacy, while I can only desperately search for the assassin who captured my wife!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His overwhelming anger was uncontrollable. He fiercely bit her mouth, which was spewing lies and excuses, determined to make her understand the consequences of eloping!
His actions were brutal and merciless, constantly biting and grinding, exchanging blood, and she could only endure it silently.
He wasn't satisfied as he nibbled on her; his desire was insatiable. He half-tugged at her clothes, instantly revealing her fair skin. His eyes gleamed with lust, and he decided to move on to another location.
She was terrified and didn't have time to cover herself up.
At that moment, a short figure with multiple tails pounced, scratching the man who was trying to cross the boundary and stopping his wolfish feeding behavior.
Shen Jizhao groaned as it was gripped, its back covered in claw marks, but it still wouldn't let go. He had no choice but to pause, stand up, grab it, and violently fling it away.
"You beasts, you're all heartless!"
I don't know if they're cursing it or indirectly criticizing it.
Jiang Shuifu was safe. She quickly fastened her undergarments and put on her outer garment.
But when she looked up, she froze instantly. The injured animal was huddled in the corner, curled up, but its eyes still held a dangerous glint, trying to find an opportunity to strike again.
It's an auspicious sign!
It's a nine-tailed fox!
It's her tail!
It's injured!
She immediately stepped off the bed, picked it up, gently comforted it, and smoothed its ruffled fur.
Seeing how much she cared for a beast, Shen Jizhao was both jealous and furious. In her heart, he couldn't even compare to it!
How absurd!
What a ridiculous auspicious omen!
What a ridiculous woman!
The most absurd thing is that he actually fell in love with this absurd woman!
The auspicious creature returned to its familiar embrace and immediately quieted down. It was very tired and soon fell asleep.
She still held it in her arms, stroking it, hoping it could get a good night's sleep.
As Jiang Shuifu stroked the object, a question suddenly popped into her head:
Wasn't it imprisoned in the capital? How could it be...?
Did he do it? Was he really stupid enough to risk rescuing Xiangrui?
How could the emperor possibly agree to that?
The emperor dotes on him so much!
Shen Jizhao also felt extremely foolish. He had actually sneaked into the palace because of a single sentence from her, doing the thing he considered most shameful, the one that violated his rules the most, the one that made him lose face the most, and the one that would haunt him for the rest of his life if word got out:
They stole the auspicious omen using the most primitive methods!
He ended up with many injuries and was almost caught and imprisoned!
Because he wanted to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with her, he rushed back day and night. As a result, he was overjoyed and wanted to give her this gift, but she was gone and disappeared without a trace!
Why bother going to greet him? That's a heart-wrenching excuse!
Several times when he went to look for her, he wanted to strangle the beast in his sleeve. When he found her, he held it down tightly to prevent it from coming out. He didn't want this woman to know how stupid he had been!
He didn't want to show that he cared about her, that his self-esteem had been trampled on by her!
The man's blood rushed to his head again. He ran over, grabbed her wrist, and continued his previous actions, tormenting her lips.
Jiang Shuifu resisted and dodged, but all her efforts were in vain.
He pried open her lips and skillfully bit her; in an instant, the small space between the curtains was filled with the sound of water.
She moaned and groaned, eventually going limp and leaving him to plunder her at will.
After a long period of plundering, Shen Jizhao finally sat up and questioned her:
"Tell me, when did you manage to contact him right under my nose?"
Jiang Shuifu turned her head away and reached out to wipe her lips, but he grabbed her hand and continued kissing her.
After kissing for a while, he straightened up and questioned her again, as if he would keep kissing her until she answered.
Her face was moist, and unable to resist his insistence, she had no choice but to lower her head.
“I ran into him by chance at the first morning market, and he asked me if I wanted to leave.”
It was only a few hours from when she left the morning market until she returned, so without a second thought or consideration for him, her answer was that she wanted to leave!
"snort!"
Shen Jizhao laughed angrily and, as if punishing her, pried open her lips again.
Then, they continued to dig deeper, determined to find out every single detail of the entanglements between them:
How was the message delivered?
Not wanting to anger him, she answered quickly: "Bamboo leaves, words carved on bamboo leaves."
He glanced sideways and then questioned her:
"So, the drawing on your paper was deliberately meant to mislead me, making me follow the wrong direction you drew to find you?"
She drew many hidden paths, but they were all wrong; she wasn't walking on the paths in the paintings at all.
Her silence was an admission.
He hadn't expected her to have such a formidable side; it turns out she had used all her schemes on him!
His anger surged again and again, and he lowered his head to bite her again, stirring up her taste.
It was ruthless and crude, seemingly inexhaustible in its energy, and there was a faint downward trend in its movements; it was becoming restless.
The woman who was being humiliated couldn't take it anymore. He would get angry if she didn't talk to him, and he would still get angry if she did. So why bother?
The man was already consumed by passion, his desires stirred, while the woman no longer resisted, and suddenly let out a sneer:
"You think you're so great? You're all show and no substance! Let me tell you, every time you're all red, it's incredibly difficult for me. You have absolutely no skill! It's awful! I'm not happy at all! Every time afterward you force me to say dirty things, I almost can't help but point my finger at you and yell at you for being so incompetent!"
Rumble!
!!
Crackling sounds!
One bolt of lightning after another struck down, instantly freezing him in place. His verbal actions could no longer punish her in the slightest!
What a man absolutely cannot accept is being told he is impotent, even more so than a contraceptive potion!
This is a devastating blow to a man!
Shen Jizhao was stunned by her words for a full half-incense stick's time, remaining motionless as if he had come to life.
Jiang Shuifu took this opportunity to push him away.
