Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 19: Autumn Hunting

Zhao Chengjun did not speak but just stared at Liu Ji. He suddenly fell into silence and did not dare to interrupt again. The words Zhao Zixun spoke were on the spur of the moment when he was angry. Now that his rationality surpassed his emotions, Zhao Zixun finally realized what he did wrong.

Was he crazy to dare to taunt his father?

Zhao Zixun quickly
remedied, "Father, please calmed down your anger. This son made a slip of tongue. Father has shown profound kindness to this son and very grateful and did not dare to blame the father. This son is unfilial and cannot be more wrong. Father, please punish."

"It's a good thing to save people. How could it be wrong?" Zhao Chengjun said lightly, "You are not wrong, but the wrong one is this so-called woman. Someone come, take her down and flog her to death."

This time Tang Shishi was really frightened. Zhao Chengjun actually wanted to kill Zhou Shunhua? They were sent by Empress Dowager, was he crazy?

The nine beauties including Tang Shishi knelt down quickly. Ren Yujun was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "Wangye, please calm down. We were sent by Empress Dowager to serve Wangye. If we did something wrong, we should be beaten and scolded. However, for the sake of Sister Zhou's first offense, please forgive her this time. After all, Sister Zhou is the legitimate daughter of the Duke Cai mansion, she was pampered by her family since she was a child. If the news goes back to Jinling, how sad Duke Cai could be."

Ren Yujun first used Empress Dowager Yao and later used Duke Cai Mansion, but Zhao Chengjun was none whatsoever moved. He tapped his fingers on the armrests and laughed, "It's not false that Duke and nobility are of the same breadth and branches. Why, do you want to accompany her?"

Ren Yujun was so terrified that she could not speak for a while. Tang Shishi hummed inwardly and silently began to think about whether she would be able to take the female lead role scene if she died.

Zhao Zixun walked two steps on his knees, and kowtow one after another to Zhao Chengjun, "Father, please calm down your anger, and all the mistakes were made by this son. It's all because of the indecision of this son, and it has nothing to do with the woman. Zhou Shunhua's punishment should be borne by this son."

Zhao Zixun knew very well that Zhao Chengjun did not really want to kill Zhou Shunhua, it was Zhao Zixun that he wanted to discipline. If Zhao Zixun kept silent, then Zhou Shunhua would really be dead.

Zhao Zixun had a bitter smile in his heart. Prince Jing was truly a dictatorial man. He did not allow anyone to disobey him. Zhao Zixun seemed to have his own freedom, but in fact, everything has to follow the trajectory expected by Zhao Chengjun. Zhao Zixun tried to resist the Shizi Consort chosen by Prince Jing. As soon as he showed signs of rebellion, Prince Jing put the price in front of him.

Either be obedient or Zhou Shunhua will die.

Zhao Zixun cowered, admitted his mistake obediently, and acquiesced to the marriage arranged by Prince Jing. After Zhao Zixun said these words, Zhao Chengjun did not continue to embarrass Zhou Shunhua, "She is your woman and you are willing to take it on her behalf, then I will fulfill you. She should have been cane to death for her grave mistake but since you are my son, I can't cane you to death. Then the caning will be reduced to sixty and execute immediately. Liu Ji, take him down."

Liu Ji knew that Zhao Chengjun's decision would never waver, and he did not dare to persuade him again. He saluted without delay and motioned to Shizi to follow him. Just as Liu Ji and Zhao Zixun reached the door, Zhao Chengjun's voice rang from behind unhurriedly, "My patience is limited. You'd better not play tricks. If any of the cane is not solid enough, I will do it myself."
