Chapter 283 Self-esteem trampled underfoot
Zhao Yucheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a seemingly gentle yet creepy smile, and said softly:
"Miss Gou, oh, that's not right, I should call you Princess Miao.
"Haha, don't be nervous, it's not a big deal, it's just a pill to make you behave!"
Although his voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, the threat contained in it was self-evident.
Gou Chunmei suppressed her inner anger and anxiety and tried to calm herself down.
She knew very well that she must not act impulsively at this moment, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
So, she took a deep breath and responded as calmly as possible:
"Your Highness, why do you bother to control me so much? As long as it's something you ask me to do, I will do my best to complete it, even if it means going through fire and water!"
However, her clenched fists betrayed her true emotions.
Hearing this, Zhao Yucheng nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the man in black beside him and ordered, "Go, untie Miss Gou!"
Then, he laughed again, looked at Gou Chunmei and said:
"Well, not bad, not bad. It seems that Miss Gou is really a smart person!"
After being freed, Gou Chunmei slightly moved her stiff wrist.
Then he looked at Zhao Yucheng and asked, "Your Highness, I believe you have something important that I need to do? Please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse!"
"Very good. I have always admired smart people and I like dealing with such people the most." The corners of Zhao Yucheng's mouth rose slightly, but a barely perceptible cunning flashed in his eyes.
He stared straight at Gou Chunmei and said without hesitation:
"After you marry Crown Prince Zhao Haoxuan, I will have you personally put him to death! Remember, this matter must succeed, failure is not allowed!"
Hearing this, Gou Chunmei was startled at first, but quickly regained her composure.
She gritted her teeth and replied, "Okay, no problem, I will do it."
However... I still hope that the prince can help me and let me marry the prince as soon as possible!" As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Zhao Yucheng with expectant eyes.
Gou Chunmei continued to complain, "Your Highness, you don't know that the Crown Prince has no feelings for me at all!"
"He has been dragging his feet and refusing to marry me as soon as possible! What should I do?" After saying this, she sighed softly, with a pitiful look on her face.
However, at this moment, Zhao Yucheng's face suddenly darkened and he said coldly:
"Hmph, that's not up to him! Marriage is such a big deal, how can he be the only one to decide? I will find a way to facilitate your marriage."
Seeing this, Gou Chunmei hurriedly smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Your Highness! As long as Your Highness can help me achieve my wish, I will do my best to complete the tasks you have entrusted to me."
"But... I wonder if the prince could give me the antidote first? After all, the poison has taken effect..." Gou Chunmei had already cursed the cruel and ruthless Zhao Yucheng in her heart.
Zhao Yucheng smiled and said, "Miss Gou, there's no need to worry. This medicine won't work for six months. As long as you complete your mission, I will give you the antidote."
Early the next morning, the sun shone through the clouds, casting golden rays of light across the entire capital.
Gou Chunmei was wearing a gorgeous brocade long dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind. She walked into the majestic and solemn imperial palace with light steps.
After passing through layers of palace gates and corridors, Gou Chunmei finally arrived at the palace where Concubine Yin lived.
The maid at the door saw her coming and hurriedly informed her to come in. After a while, the lazy but majestic voice of Concubine Yin came from inside: "Let her in."
Gou Chunmei took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then stepped into the hall.
I saw Concubine Yin sitting upright on the soft couch, her gorgeous attire highlighting her noble temperament.
Gou Chunmei did not dare to be negligent. She stepped forward quickly, bowed deeply and said softly, "Greetings, Imperial Concubine Sister!"
Concubine Yin raised her eyes slightly, her gaze fell on Gou Chunmei, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she raised her hand to signal, "Sister is here, please take a seat quickly."
After thanking him, Gou Chunmei sat down aside.
The two first greeted each other and talked about some trivial matters. On the surface, they seemed to be very harmonious, but each of them had his own thoughts in his heart.
After chatting for a while, Concubine Yin changed the subject and asked casually:
"Sister, I wonder if the eldest prince has mentioned when he will return to Miao Country?"
When saying this, Concubine Yin stared at Gou Chunmei, as if trying to capture some useful information from the changes in her expression.
"Sister Imperial Concubine, I came here today to beg you to grant my marriage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Gou Chunmei said seriously.
Her pretty face looked particularly serious at this moment, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on Concubine Yin in front of her.
However, after hearing this, Concubine Yin, who was originally smiling, suddenly became gloomy.
Her slender phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of coldness, and she asked coldly: "Sister, do you know what you are talking about?"
Gou Chunmei's heart trembled suddenly, but she quickly forced herself to calm down and looked firmly at the cold and noble Concubine Yin in front of her.
"Sister Imperial Concubine, I know exactly what I said, and I also know what you are planning." Gou Chunmei replied slowly.
Hearing this, Concubine Yin's exquisite and picturesque face stiffened slightly, and then a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Oh? What do I want to do? Tell me about it." Concubine Yin asked with a cold snort.
Gou Chunmei took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and said with her red lips:
"Sister Imperial Concubine, if you can lend a hand and help me successfully marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then I have a clever plan that will make His Royal Highness disappear from the scene forever!"
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across Concubine Yin's beautiful eyes.
But her expression remained as cold as ice, and she indifferently asked, "Why should I believe what you say? And what exactly are you plotting so hard for?"
Gou Chunmei hurriedly stepped forward and explained anxiously: "Sister, please understand! The Crown Prince was too cruel to me.
Not only did he ruthlessly reject my marriage proposals time and time again, he also bluntly declared in front of everyone that he only loved Wang Xinyao.
They didn't care about my dignity or feelings at all, and they trampled my self-esteem underfoot! How could I swallow this great humiliation?
So I hate him to the core, and I must avenge myself and save my sister!" After saying this, Gou Chunmei bowed.
