Chapter 294 A Substitute Bride's Brave Love, A Prince Without Heirs Forever By Her Side - 24
How come I didn't know when I caught a cold?
The clever Aunt Mei quickly apologized from behind.
"Your Highness, it's all my fault. I couldn't persuade the Princess. The sun is shining brightly today, and the Princess just wanted to come out and soak up some sun. She's been staying in her room all day these past few days and is practically moldy."
Zhuo Yucheng feigned sternness, "Aunt Mei, as a senior servant who has served the Princess, how can you allow her to act recklessly? You are to be fined half a year's salary. Do you have any objections?"
Aunt Mei knelt on the ground, head bowed, "Your Highness, this servant accepts the punishment."
Mu Wanwan pinched his palm, puzzled. Why did he lie and say he was sick?
She was full of energy now, and when she met Zhuo Yucheng's eyes, she didn't care anymore.
Zhuo Yucheng had his reasons for saying that.
Her legs went weak. "Your Highness, I suddenly feel a little dizzy."
She leaned against Zhuo Yucheng's chest, while the First Prince's eyes never left Mu Wanwan's face.
He naturally knew that Zhuo Yucheng had married a princess, and that Zhuo Yucheng had spread the news of the entire Mu family's exile because of this princess.
The whole story can be found out without lifting a finger.
The woman before him had a pitiful past; she could bewitch men's hearts with just her face.
For example, he is now attracted by her looks.
Since the second brother's three concubines are all his women, wouldn't it be wonderful if the princess also became his woman?
Moreover, the thought of such a stunningly beautiful face bowing down before him filled him with immense pleasure.
His gaze fell on her slender waist, and he looked at his own hands.
Judging by appearance, it could probably fit in one hand.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Zhuo Yucheng led her to pay her respects, and after the ceremony, she leaned against him.
"Brother, this is my queen."
The First Prince had a lewd smile on his face and kept staring at Mu Wanwan, who shrank back behind Zhuo Yucheng in fear.
"Big brother? Are you... are you alright?"
The First Prince coughed lightly, realizing his rudeness, "So it's my brother's wife!"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
She bowed again, and the First Prince reached out to help her up, but Zhuo Yucheng refused.
"Brother, although you are my elder brother, men and women should not touch each other. Let me do it!"
The First Prince said sternly, "I am your elder brother, and my sister-in-law and I are family. Anyone who dares to gossip will have their tongue pulled out by me."
Mu Wanwan, frightened, hid behind Zhuo Yucheng again. "Big brother, Wanwan isn't feeling well. I'll take her home first and then come back to find you! Excuse me for a moment!"
The prince's eyes darted around.
Yes!
Anyway, he still had to go see Liping, and dealing with Zhuo Yucheng was exhausting.
"Okay! Go and come back quickly, I'll just wander around!"
Seeing his younger brother and Aunt Mei helping the princess leave, he looked around. When he saw Ximen Chu's familiar figure, he left his entourage behind and walked over leisurely.
When the prince arrived at Liping's residence, Liping excitedly rushed into the prince's arms.
"You've got some nerve, daring to threaten me? Huh?"
Li Ping feigned grievance, "It wasn't me who threatened you on purpose, it's just that the child in my belly wants to see his father."
She playfully pulled the prince's hand and placed it on her abdomen, saying coquettishly, "Your Highness, feel it!"
"He's so young, how could I possibly sense his movements!"
"Your Highness, he says he wants to see his father in person!"
She took his hand and led him downhill.
The First Prince brushed her hand away, "Are you crazy? This is the Zhuo Prince's Mansion, are you out of your mind?"
If he were to commit illicit acts on someone else's turf and be discovered, wouldn't all his carefully laid plans be in vain?
"Your Highness, please have pity on me!"
The prince gave the maid a look, "You stay outside and keep watch! Don't let anyone in!"
The maid had finally found her man, but before she could even stay long, she was called out to stand guard, and she had no choice but to comply.
She could only cover her ears as the foul noises emanating from the room came from inside, unaware that everyone was watching.
"Your Highness, my master is resting!"
Mu Wanwan led a large group of people to Li Ping's door, ostensibly to deliver something, but actually to catch them in the act of adultery.
The two people inside the house are now engrossed in their activities, oblivious to the world around them.
If others were to discover that the people inside were the First Prince and Li Ping, then things would be disastrous.
She only has one path left: death.
"I accept the gift on behalf of my princess. Thank you, princess!"
After saying this, he was about to leave with the attendant who had brought the gift when suddenly a voice came from inside the room, "Ouch~ Your Highness, it hurts, it's too heavy!"
Everyone present was stunned. As everyone knew, the prince had just ordered things to be sent over from the storeroom. At this moment, the prince was looking for the eldest prince, so how could he be in Liping's room?
Mu Wanwan naturally couldn't speak up, "Quickly open the door. Everyone knows the Prince was just with us. Who is the Prince that Li Ping is talking about?"
The maidservant was sweating with anxiety. "Perhaps the prince just went inside. In that case, you definitely can't go in!"
Then came muffled groans from the man and panting from the woman, sounds that were too offensive to bear.
"Aunt Mei, let's go. What if the Prince is inside? Wouldn't that be disrespectful to him?"
Aunt Mei stopped Mu Wanwan, "Your Highness, what if it's not the Prince inside?"
At that moment, Zhuo Yucheng walked gracefully up from behind them, "Your Highness, why are you still outside?"
Everyone was shocked. The prince was here. Who was the prince inside?
After her initial shock, Mu Wanwan quickly spread her arms to stop Zhuo Yucheng. "Your Highness, Liping is resting. Let's go back!"
She hadn't expected Zhuo Yucheng to be such a drama queen. "Your Highness, you dragged your ailing body to deliver this to her, and she dared to refuse to see you. She's so arrogant and spoiled. I cannot disregard the rules of the Royal Palace just because she's pregnant."
He gave a look to the person next to him, dragged the maid who was trying to stop him aside, and then the people behind him rushed in.
The prince was still on top of Liping, sweating profusely, while Liping's red mandarin duck bodice was still hanging around the prince's waist.
The two were in the middle of a great time when they were startled by the crowd that burst through the door.
"Ah~"
Li Ping pushed the man off her and quickly pulled him over herself, crying, "Your Highness~"
When the prince turned his head and saw who it was, he realized that he had already fallen into Zhuo Yucheng's trap.
He grabbed the clothes from the side, put them on, and stood up.
"Second brother, your concubine took the initiative to seduce me, and I couldn't resist and made a big mistake."
"The Emperor has arrived~"
The once composed prince suddenly collapsed to the ground, while Li Ping, upon hearing that the Emperor had arrived, feigned death and fainted.
With tears in his eyes, Zhuo Yucheng looked helplessly at the emperor who had entered.
He knelt down with a thud, crying out, "Father, you must stand up for your son!"
Upon hearing that Zhuo Yucheng, who had been childless for so long, had a child, the emperor was overjoyed and came to see his future grandson.
Unexpectedly, we encountered such a wonderful drama.
