Chapter 1902 - Journey (6)
Once again, one line had shattered whatever composure Rui Yi had mustered and turned it into utter shock
Yun Wuxin was trying to think up a way to help Rui Yi when her father’s unexpected request destroyed her concentration Instead of being aghast at her father’s behavior though, a kind of strange excitement and expectation lit up inside her
Ohhhh!
Father is showing that side of hi Shuhe appeared to realize as going on immediately She smiled and shook her head a little
“I… I… That… I… cannot… possibly… I…”
Rui Yi could barely form a coherent word She had clearly never faced such a situation before, and whatever quick-wittedness she displayed earlier had escaped her completely
“This is an order, not a request Your willingness matters not, only your obedience does,” Yun Che continued harshly
After she barely recovered herself, Rui Yi ly “I cannot… I cannot! The young miss herself has not… not… with you, so how can I possibly…!”
“Hah! Who was the one who said she would accept any punishment for her miss? In fact, this isn’t a punishreat emperor, but your first reaction is to fear and spurn it!? This is your so-called atonement? Your loyalty to Consort Grace!?”
Yun Che’s voice abruptly grew harsher
Rui Yi could face down Yun Che’s killing intent without fear, but this? She was literally seconds away fro into tears
It had beenShuhe became Yun Che’s imperial consort, but she hadn’t actually slept with him yet
If she were to sleep with Yun Che before the young ain?
“Your Majesty, I… this servant will accept any punishment, but not this! Please… please!”
She shook her head with all her ht Her eyes finally watered with fearful tears
“Your Majesty, you can let her go for now, right? She has learned fro Shuhe finally said
“Hmph! She asked for this,” Yun Che replied with a hh to convert all of his earlier irritation into pure satisfaction
Usually, the fierier a woman, the deeper her weakness ran In Rui Yi’s case, one h to make her cry
“You may take your leave, Rui Yi”
The attendant looked like she had just been pardoned frooodbye before escaping fro back with deep sy Shuhe’s eyes until she was gone
“The fierier a woman, the more a man ant to bully her In this case, it looks like Your Majesty is not an exception to the rule either,” Cang Shuhe coly
She said “bully”, not “punish” It put the situation in a rather interesting light
“Her?” Yun Che said disdainfully, “Who can be fierier than Qianying?”
“Speaking of Consort Shadow, there is one thing I’ve been rather curious about for a while” Cang Shuhe shot hi look “Who is the hunter, and who is the hunted between you and Consort Shadow?”
“Do you even need to ask? Of course it’s…”
Yun Che suddenly cut himself short as an uncertain look overcame his features He… actually didn’t know the answer to that question
Cang Shuhe didn’t wait for Yun Che’s answer Instead, she picked a small jade bowl froive this soup a taste, Wuxin?”
Yun Wuxin accepted it immediately and with barely suppressed excitement She said, “Did you make it just now, Auntie Shuhe? Auntie Rui Yi told h to ant s Shuhe’s lips as she replied, “That may or may not be true, but you won’t know until you taste it yourself, right? Take it slow”
Yun Wuxin removed the cover and carried the bowl to her ht before the soup was about to touch her lips though, she abruptly noticed that her father was shooting her an unusually intense and nervous? Look
“” Her movement slowed for just athe soup
Yun Che was going to ask her how it tasted, but he realized that Yun Wuxin wasn’t done after the initial sip She leaned back a little and slowly drank the whole bowl
For some reason, she didn’t put down the bowl i It was like she wasin slow motion
When she finally set the bon, there wasn’t a single drop left inside of it
“Maze into a perfectcasually, “How does it taste?”
Yun Wuxin pursed her lips thoughtfully “It’s very tasty There’s just this… strange taste that I can’t quite put a word to yet”
“S-strange taste?” Yun Che’s eyebroere literally tre with tension “Can you describe it?”
