Chapter 204 The Hypocritical Taizi and His Lover
Liu Ruixue touched her stomach as she spoke. She smiled very happily. She was pregnant, so she seemed more voluptuous and feminine.
Taizi’s peach blossom eyes deepened. He didn’t take into account that Taizifei was still here. He reached out to touch Liu Ruixue’s stomach. His voice became deeper and more sensual. “Oh? Let me touch it.”
Even if Taizi said what he had said to She Yuejiao, but seeing her husband being intimate with other women, her still-jealous chest burned with pain.
She couldn’t stay there any longer and quickly said, “Taizi, I won’t disturb you. I will take my leave.”
She quickly left. Her heart pained as if it was being gouged out. She couldn’t say that she really loved Taizi, but Taizi was her husband. Her husband was being intimate with a woman who was carrying her husband’s child. How could she endure it? She hated that she couldn’t pull the child out and stuff him in her stomach instead.
Liu Ruixue noticed Taizifei’s abnormality. She instantly said to Taizi, “Taizi, in front of Taizifei, you should…… You should pay more attention.”
“It’s fine.” Taizi deliberately pretended that he didn’t care. “You’re pregnant right now. But even if you aren’t, you’re much more important to me than she is. Xue’er, don’t you know how much I love you? Give birth to a son for me. When I ascend to the throne, I will give him the t.i.tle of Taizi.”
Liu Ruixue was fed such words by Taizi day by day until she lost her reason.
It wasn’t an exception this time either. If Taizi sold her right now, she would be helping him count the money.
Taizi said, “Your You meimei is coming back soon. I really didn’t think that she would come back alive. You two are sworn sisters. When she comes back, I will send an invitation card to her and ask her to come here to keep you company.”
Although Liu Ruixue was mesmerized by Taizi, she still remembered that Taizi was once infatuated with Zi You. She said vigilantly, “Forget it. I heard that You meimei went through a lot of hardships. She must be really tired. We should talk after she gets some rest.”
Taizi faintly sighed and looked very worried and sad. “Xue’er, I want you to invite Mu Zi You here to clear up a misunderstanding. You don’t know this, but the guide who led the Mu army into the swamps was recommended by me to Fuw.a.n.g. I thought that he was a witch doctor, so Old General Mu’s army would be safer with him there. Who knew……
“He turned out to be a spy. He deceived me and harmed the Mu army. It doesn’t matter if You’er – Mu Zi You and Old General Mu hate me, but I’m afraid that they will hate Fuw.a.n.g. That would be bad.
“So, I want you to invite Mu Zi You over to clarify the misunderstanding with her. If I invite her, she certainly would not come. I have no other intentions. Don’t worry. I only have you and our child in my heart. There won’t be anyone else.”
So it was like this. Liu Ruixue believed Taizi’s lies. She nodded and agreed. “Okay. I’ll invite her over when she gets back. I’ll persuade her too.”
“I knew that you’re the best.” Taizi hugged and kissed Liu Ruixue wildly.
Soon, both of them were feeling pa.s.sionate.
Just as Liu Ruixue thought that Taizi would stay, Taizi said to her, “I still have something to do. You rest. I will come see you tomorrow.”
Then he kissed Liu Ruixue again before leaving.

Liu Ruixue was uncomfortable and looked painfully at him, but she was too embarra.s.sed to ask him to stay. She couldn’t say, “Stay here. The imperial doctor said that I’m pregnant for more than six months now. We can do that thing.”
No, it was too embarra.s.sing! Perhaps Taizi didn’t know about this. She couldn’t blame him. Liu Ruixue touched her stomach and laughed at herself.
But she didn’t know that the Taizi who had just said that he had only her in his heart was with Taizifei at this moment.
He began to softly comfort Taizifei, “Don’t mind it too much, Jiao’er. I have to coax her because Mu Zi You is about to come back. Her abilities are extraordinary now. I have to pull her over to support me. I can’t let her ruin my plans.”
Taizifei had also heard about Zi You saving the Mu army from the swamps. She didn’t understand it. Mu Zi You was just a little girl. How could she not be afraid of the swamps? They said that the swamps were infested with poisonous snakes and insects. So, why wasn’t she afraid?
She immediately asked, “Why was she not afraid of those poisonous creatures? What a monster. She looked like a vixen. She’s probably an evil monster. Taizi, you have to be careful and not be harmed by her.”
“I am the future Emperor. Do I need to be scared of her?” Taizi was unconvinced. He then hugged Taizifei and pretended to gently say, “Help me manage Taizi fu. I have been very busy lately. I might not have time to come keep you company. Don’t mind it. In my heart, you are my only wife. Everyone else is just tools and playthings. Hm? Remember.”
Taizifei snuggled into Taizi’s arms. Her heart was sweet like she drank honey water. She looked affectionately at him and nodded.
But she didn’t know that after her husband left her, hewent to the study and immediately tangled with another woman.
After the storm ended on the mahogany bed, Taizi hugged the woman in satisfaction. He laughed. “Baby, how was it?”
The woman called “Baby” exposed a small face from underneath the quilt. She bashfully extended a small hand and gently rubbed Taizi’s chest. “Taizi is getting stronger and stronger. But I can’t keep on sneaking around with you like this. Go ask the Emperor to marry us!”
“Yun’er.” Taizi was obviously a little impatient. He moved his shoulder away from the woman’s fragrant shoulder. He frowned and said, “Why are you always so impatient? Don’t you know that I’ve been troubled lately? Besides, do you not believe me or what?
“Your little aunt is my cefei. If I ask Fuw.a.n.g to marry you, what will Fuw.a.n.g think of me? Don’t worry. When I ascend to the throne, you will be one of the Feis. Now, you have to keep an eye on Fuw.a.n.g. You are a female official around him. There is a lot of news that you can learn quickly. Don’t let go of this opportunity to help me ascend to the throne. You will have credit for it, so who will dare to offend you in the future? You won’t have to be scared of even the Empress then.”
“Okay!” The woman agreed coquettishly. “I understand. I will do my best to help you, Taizi.”
The woman was Ke Yun’er, Minister of War’s Di granddaughter, Minister of War’s deceased wife’s first son’s eldest daughter, and Shangguan Lingluo’s original good friend.
The Minister of War’s current wife’s daughter Ke Yiqiao was Taizi’s cefei. Ke Yun’er was now having an affair with Taizi. Of course Taizi didn’t dare to publicly ask the Emperor to marry her. Otherwise, Taizi would be accused of having improper relations and be censured by the Imperial Censors. His gentlemanly image would be ruined.
He seduced Ke Yun’er for excitement and mainly also because she was a third-rank female official around the Emperor.
Ke Yun’er was also not a simple person. She was originally blindly following behind Shangguan Lingluo.
Shangguan Lingluo died and she knew that she wasn’t very outstanding. She was just rather cute. Her father was only a sixth-rank Justic of the Peace. And her grandfather didn’t value her father. She was in such an awkward situation that it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens if she wanted to be Taizifei or a w.a.n.gzi’s cefei.
She had originally targeted Ming w.a.n.g Shizi Shangguan Weiran, one of the Four Tyrants. But he didn’t like her or want her.
But she wasn’t willing to be casually paired off with a humble scholar by her step-grandmother. So, she had created an opportunity to meet the Emperor. And the Emperor had favored her in confusion.
Such a thing actually happened. To appease the Minister of War, the Emperor had finally let her enter the Palace as a consort of course.
But Ke Yun’er was very clever. Although she had been favored by the Emperor, she knew that it would be just a dream to become the Emperor’s pampered consort with her looks.
So, she had immediately cried like pear blossoms in the rain. She had said to the Emperor, “Nubi has always admired the Emperor. Nubi is honored to obtain Emperor’s favor, even if it’s only once. Nubi doesn’t dare to hope that Nubi will enter the Palace to one of Emperor’s consorts. Nubi only wishes to follow Emperor as a slave. Nubi will have no regrets if Nubi can see you every day!”
She thought that rather than being one of the many women waiting in the harem for the Emperor’s favor and may never see the Emperor again, she might as well be a proper female official around the Emperor.
It turned out that her decision was correct. Since she became the Emperor’s imperial rites official, whether it was an official or w.a.n.gzi, their att.i.tudes might not be respectful, but they were very amiable towards her. Even the Emperor’s consorts did everything to fawn over her.
That was how Taizi found her. When she was a study companion to Shangguan Lingluo, when did Taizi even look directly at her?
She didn’t believe what Taizi said about making her one of the four Feis. But she was testing Taizi and Taizi was using her. They were using and cooperating with each other. If Taizi really ascended to the throne, the day of her death would probably soon arrive.
So, she would not let Taizi ascend to the throne. She would not be controlled by others. She wanted to be a woman who controled others. Even if she wouldn’t be the Empress, she wanted to be more powerful than the Empress in the future.
Whether it was the Emperor or Taizi, they were just tools she used to strengthen her power in order to fight against her step-grandmother and her selfish and mean grandfather.
