Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 288: Deeply in love, love-brained?

His attitude made Shen Zhishu feel a little guilty.

He is so nice that it always seems like she is calculating too much.

Looking at the chess board, she hesitated for a moment.

Still put the chess piece in the right place.

"I can afford to lose, but I can't let the emperor look down on me, right?"

It's your turn to win, so win.

Retracting a move in front of you is the behavior of a mean person.

"I will work hard and I will be able to rely on myself to gain the emperor's favor."

She said she wanted that promise in a dignified manner.

There was suddenly something more in Yan Chu's doting and gentle gaze.

"Shu'er, don't you regret it?"

"No regrets after making a move. How can one be a rogue in chess? I have no regrets, not even for losing to the emperor."

She smiled and shook her head.

"Okay, then I do have something I want to ask Shu'er."

"You say."

She subconsciously raised her heart.

No matter what the problem was, she could handle it well and be honest with him, but she must not say anything that would be detrimental to herself.

So I sat up straight involuntarily, looking very nervous.

"Shu'er, you...was it you who planned our first meeting?"

She was prepared for everything. Maybe he would ask about Princess Jing'an and the Queen Mother, or maybe he discovered the clues of the retired Emperor's old illness.

Or maybe it's related to the Queen.

But this problem was totally beyond her expectations.

Why would he want to pursue something that happened so long ago? And why should he care?

Or...what did he discover?

Everything she did at the time was not completely airtight, and perhaps it was really exposed.

Does the emperor know that she has ulterior motives?

Can she deny it?

Looking at his serious expression, Shen Zhishu felt that it would be more serious if he found out that he was lying than if the truth were revealed.

"Your Majesty, at that time...I did go there because I knew you would go there."

Never mind, just admit it.

If he got angry about it, she would coax him.

After all, it's all old news, so there's no need to dwell on it.

"You went there for me?"

Yan Chu's expression was ambiguous.

"Yes, I went for you."

Now that you've admitted it, there's nothing to hide.

But I couldn't control my heartbeat and it was so fast, I was scared.

What if he got angry and walked away, ignoring her...

"So, Shu'er, since when did you start caring about me? I still remember that you later found a man to marry. Did you really want to marry him? Or were you just doing it for me?"

He didn't seem angry.

And what do you mean by caring? Isn't that a calculation?

Shen Zhishu thought carefully for a moment.

"Your Highness may not know that it was during Arui's birthday and the Lotus Appreciation Banquet that I first met you."

"Were you there that day?"

Yan Chu couldn't help but frown.

But when she said this, she recalled the figure that flashed by that day. She didn't see the face clearly, but the figure left a deep impression on her.

"I did go there, but later I felt unwell, so I left through the backyard. When I was leaving, I saw you come in, so..."

She lowered her head shyly.

Deliberately pretending to be in love with him at first sight.

Yan Chu understood immediately.

So at that time she started to plan how to meet him and how to become his woman, right?

"That night on the boat, I was indeed waiting for you. I wanted to take the opportunity to talk to you, but I don't know what happened later, and...everything was not what I wanted. But I have never regretted what happened that night."

If it hadn't happened, their progress would have been much slower.

So how could Shen Zhishu regret it?

She pretended to be affectionate and looked at him with red eyes.

"Now that Your Majesty knows the truth, do you think that I was unscrupulous?"

In the past, he would have been disgusted by such behavior.

But now?

He actually felt happy that she had fallen in love with him so early.

"You are really bold. Do you know that my mind was not on you at that time?"

Even thinking back on it now, he felt that his promise to marry her was out of responsibility.

So how risky is her approach?

"If I don't marry you, what will you do? Will you really just find someone to marry?"

"Then it would be good to stay single and stay with your family forever."

If you don't fall for it, I will stay at home and never see you again. This way, Su Rong won't harm my whole family out of jealousy.

Shen Zhishu thought silently.

But to Yan Chu, it had another meaning.

Could Shu'er really do so much for him?

But at the beginning, he almost didn't want her.

"Shu'er."

Yan Chu suddenly couldn't help himself and couldn't help but hug her in his arms.

"I think I was influenced by the Queen. I am always confused about whether our relationship is husband and wife or love between a man and a woman. Do you have feelings for me because I am your husband, or do you..."

Indeed, listening to these words, isn't it Su Rong who would be entangled in pure love?

"Now you know that I have long had feelings for Your Majesty, and I even resorted to trickery to be by your side."

Shen Zhishu interrupted with a smile.

So this is what he was thinking about.

Didn't she make the right bet again this time?

There is nothing wrong with her answer.

"Yes, after listening to Shu'er's words, I feel relieved."

Yan Chu had a smile on his face and looked gentle.

But those eyes contained a lot of thoughts, but because of Shuer's words, those things were temporarily put aside and not thought about.

That night, Yan Chu stayed in Kunning Palace.

The favor of the virtuous concubine remains the same as before.

Even though the new master who entered the palace had all kinds of tricks, it seemed to have little effect.

Especially Lan Yandie, who still lives in Lanfangyuan.

Once again, I sat alone in front of the window, watching the yellow leaves falling outside, and I couldn't stop crying.

"My lady, didn't the Concubine Xian ask you to teach her about pipa? You can take this opportunity to go over. Why sit here and waste time? No one will know that you are crying here."

The maid pushed the door open and saw this scene, and said unhappily.

"That's what she said, but I'm afraid it was just a spur of the moment thing, and she'll forget it. A humble person like me is not qualified to show off in front of her. Let's just let what happened that day pass."

She spoke softly, but her tears fell even more violently.

I think it's you who can't get over it.

The maid knew her master too well, and felt helpless to see her always being so stubborn.

After delivering some food, he went out again.

But even though she was not in good spirits, she had a good appetite. She ate a white steamed bun, a bowl of porridge and some side dishes, but left nothing behind.

"I'm really useless. I can only eat."

But it didn't last long, and after eating she started to feel sad again.

There was a low pressure in the whole house.

So when Su Rong took advantage of the fact that no one was looking for her, she saw Lan Yandie crying at the slightest provocation and felt disgusted with her from the bottom of her heart.

Lan Yandie has stunning facial features and a special personality. In her eyes, she is definitely Lin Daiyu.
