Lu Ying said, "Regarding this matter, you’re asking the wrong person. Father doesn’t like me and won’t fulfill my wishes."
"Your Highness..." Shen Yinning stood on her tiptoes, leaning close to his ear. "Prime Minister Shangguan will personally recommend Cui Ji as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. When the time comes, Your Highness only needs to object to it vehemently. The more you oppose him, the more His Majesty will insist on appointing Master Cui as the Vice Minister..."
The candlelight flickered softly.
Lu Ying’s deep gaze was fixed firmly on Shen Yinning.
What a shame this vixen is a woman.
Otherwise, the Shen Family may not have lost to Shen Yan.
At midnight, the heavy curtains of the bed hung low, and a sound of satiated sighing was heard.
"Shen Zhaozhao..." Lu Ying, his robust upper body bare, caressed the tender figure of the young maiden. "Many scholars from humble households dedicate their lives but never achieve the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. This time, I’ll grant him that as a favor. Going forward, you are to sever ties with him completely."
Shen Yinning, her body weakened and sore, lay propped in his arms, gasping softly.
Beneath the brocade quilt, her slender, fair legs were still hooked around his waist.
