“Probably because both I and Jin Wang have some connection to Yu Fei, he dragged her into this.” Qin Zhi pondered and said, “I feel it’s not that simple. Would Your Highness consider meeting Gu Lianchang? If we could join forces, it would be foolproof.” “No meeting!” Wei Shu’s face darkened. “That eunuch has never regarded me seriously. I can achieve my wishes without him!” Qin Zhi had secretly decided to meet Gu Lianchang. The Crown Prince was foolish and arrogant, but she couldn’t ignore the situation. Without his support, it would be hard to secure the throne. To establish her future position as empress, she must find a way to win him over. Moreover, she had never been alone with him and was curious about the experience. Late at night, Jin Wang paced in his room, anxiously awaiting news. After a while, a confidant knocked and entered, reporting: “Zhang Jing says the Yikun Palace is a residence for concubines, and Supervisor Gu cannot meet Your Highness there. Please be patient for a few days; he will find an opportunity to speak with you.” Jin Wang was stunned. He won’t meet me? He had hoped to use this meeting to probe into Yu Fei’s situation! “Go find Zhang Jing again,” Jin Wang urgently ordered.
“Tell him I have an urgent matter and must see the Supervisor in these two days.”
After the confidant left, Jin Wang wondered if Gu Lianchang’s companion had followed him to the Yikun Palace, meaning both beauties were now there. A hint of heat rose in him at the thought. Jin Wang took a deep breath, contemplating how, as emperor, he could freely enter any palace and claim all women. The imperial throne held great allure.
Stepping into the room, it was pitch black. She softly called out, “Supervisor,” but received no response. Gathering her courage, she felt her way inside. The bed curtains were half-drawn, the gilded phoenix-shaped hooks glimmering faintly. Ruan Ning leaned towards the bed, when suddenly her waist was encircled. The figure behind the curtains pulled her close, enveloping her in warmth.
Chapter 88: The Imperial Supervisor and the Empress Dowager
In the dark bedroom, Gu Lianchang had been waiting for her, unsure if she would come — the first time he hesitated. Today, he had inadvertently flirted with her, leaving him angry with both himself and her.
