Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 118: I Can't

If she took this bottle of medicine, whether it was true or not, whether Zhao Chengjun would find out, she and Zhao Chengjun would be completely finished. If Zhao Chengjun learns of this, what will he do? He may not tolerate it, he may scheme against her, or he may set up a concubine like Zhao Zixun, and not pay attention to his wife. Tang Shishi didn't know where she had the courage to reject Empress Dowager Yao, but when she thought of those scenes just now, she couldn't breathe.

Tang Shishi's nails were deeply pinched into her palms, and she struggled in vain: "Empeess dowager, this princess doesn't know who you have listened to, but she suspects someone may have told the empress dowager lies. Perhaps, there is some misunderstanding here."

"Misunderstanding?" Empress Dowager Yao coldly curled her lips and said, "If you feel that Aijia has misunderstood you, you just need to pick up this bottle of medicine and let Prince Jing drink. Tang Shishi, you were originally just the daughter of a merchant. If it weren't for the Aijia, you would never have the opportunity to have contact with the princes and nobles. Your position of was granted by Aijia and your status was rewarded by Aijia including your son. Are you going to betray me, avenge your grievances, and betray your family?"

Tang Shishi's palm was tightly clenched, and her fingers were already cold. She was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, this princess can't."

Can't. Empress Dowager Yao laughed. She leaned on the couch and looked at her nails, then suddenly turned her face and swept the things on the table to the ground. There was a harsh cracking sound of porcelain, and hot water splashed with the broken pieces of porcelain but Tang Shishi stood still and did not move.

"Okay, very good!" Empress Dowager Yao was very angry, her eyes were like knives, and she fell viciously on Tang Shishi wishing to expose her, "Aijia treats you so good, yet you return Aijia's favor like this. Aijia has countless people. Aijia didn't expect it, but they also missed you. Do you think that if Zhao Chengjun loves you, the Aijia can't move you? Ridiculous, Zhao Chengjun just used you. Aijia might as well tell you plainly that Zhao Chengjun is not sincere to you. You are the one sent by Aijia. From the very beginning, you were a piece on his chessboard."

Empress Dowager Yao's words are undoubtedly poking into the sore spot of Tang Shishi, this is what she fears most. Zhao Zigao is Zhao Chengjun's child, and Tang Shishi believes that Zhao Chengjun will not treat his own flesh and blood badly. But what about her?

After Zhao Chengjun completes his great cause and defeats the Empress Dowager, is there any need for Tang Shishi? Zhao Chengjun over-indulges her, is he really doing this, or is he just acting?

Tang Shishi's mind was in a mess, but she lowered her head, still not letting go. Empress Dowager Yao laughed angrily. She gave a gloomy smile, then she suddenly lowered her face and said, Do you think that if you become a princess, you can sit back and relax? If you can be established, you can be abolished. You can use your child as a life-saving card, but can your natal family, your parents, brothers, and sisters, be able to keep their lives?"

Tang Shishi bowed her head and stared at the ground, her face was pale, and her lips were bloodless. The Empress Dowager
finally used the Tang family and o threaten her. She is vain and greedy, she insists on squeezing into the upper circle, and even does not hesitate to seek skin with tigers. It was her fate, and she deserved it. But—everyone is responsible for doing things, why should she implicate other people when she makes her own choices?

Tang Shishi doesn't care about the huge wealth of the Tang family, nor does she care about the Tang Mingzhe, but she can't take the risk of her mother and the Qi family. Tang Shishi dislikes Tang Yanyan, but Madame Qi is kind to her and her mother, and Qi Jingsheng has never done anything but apologize to her. How could she harm Madame Qi and Qi Jingsheng because of her greed and stupidity?
