Chapter 69 - 68: The Servant is Willing to Prolong the Royal Line for Your Highness
Lu Ying said, "You and Qing Liu have both been my Hidden Guards since childhood. I’ll give you a choice now: continue as a Hidden Guard, or become a concubine?"
Rui Zhu’s breathing quickened.
What’s so good about being a Hidden Guard, constantly embroiled in fights and unable to dress up properly?
Compared to the shadowy existence of a Hidden Guard, naturally, being a concubine to the Crown Prince was far better!
She had always admired the Crown Prince and thought that once he ascended the throne, she might even secure the position of a Noble Consort someday.
Without a moment’s hesitation, she kowtowed heavily: "This servant is willing to serve His Highness, to bear heirs for him!"
Lu Ying’s gaze darkened further: "If that’s the case, I’ll hand you over to the Crown Princess Consort."
He lost all appetite for the meal and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Rui Zhu knelt on the ground, breathing gently as though surviving a calamity, but a glimmer of joy and excitement sparkled in her eyes.
Shen Yunxi bit her lip with jealousy, and, waiting until Lu Ying’s footsteps faded completely from the corridor, cursed, "Insolent wench! I’ll teach you a lesson about etiquette! Someone, beat her for me!"
Lian Ye led several old serving maids who immediately stormed forward and began beating Rui Zhu.
