Chapter 60: A Scheme: The Empress Makes a Move
The lovely palace maid endured the pain from sex with the Crown Prince with difficulty, but she did not dare complain. Ever since she had learned that the Crown Prince loved to bed women when he was enraged, she had been looking for an opportunity to elevate her position. She had deliberately related what Ye Yuxuan had told her. As expected, the Crown Prince had become infuriated and, subsequently, f*cked her. Even though the Crown Prince inflicted immeasurable suffering on her body, she was willing to withstand it so long as it meant that he would make her his concubine. Her suffering would be worth it.
As the Crown Prince was having his way with the palace maid, he thought about matters concerning the Ye Residence.
That b*tch, Ye Jiuge, had humiliated him over and over again. He would not let her get away with it. Also, Ye Shanshan, who seemed innocent enough, was actually a two-faced wh*re. She must have gotten close to him so she could steal his jade ornament. He had not anticipated any problems since he’d hid the treasure map in the ornament for safekeeping and carried it with him at all times. It had never crossed his mind that someone would still be able to get wind of the map.
Su Junqing, that thieving brat, must have worked it all out. He had only claimed to assist the Crown Prince so that he could ascend to the throne himself. It was f*cking bullshit. Su Junqing must be the one harboring Ye Yu. For all, the Crown Prince knew, the other half of the Ye Clan’s treasure map might have already fallen into Su Junqing’s hands. Su Junqing must have asked Ye Shanshan to pickpocket him.
The Crown Prince blamed himself for the oversight. He had assumed that Ye Shanshan was simply a weak girl; however, she was clever enough to pinch his jade ornament without his noticing. If the Fragrance of A Thousand Miles, which he had applied to the ornament, could not be detected on her, perhaps, he would not be able to find out the truth. Even if the Su Clan managed to get hold of the treasure map, it did not matter. The final victory would be his.
As the Crown Prince already firmly believed that Su Junqing had the treasure map, he did not worry. In any case, there were still a few missing pieces. He could wait to order a raid on the Su Residence. Recently, the Crown Prince’s cultivation had plateaued. It was hard to come across top-notch pills to clean the marrow and relocate the nerves. He needed to think of a way to get the Purple Lightning Wood back from Ye Jiuge.
Once the Crown Prince had straightened out his thoughts, he ejaculated. He pulled out from the maid and hastily wiped his lower body clean. He planned to return to his bedchamber and change his clothes before meeting the Empress.
The lovely maid’s knees buckled, and she dropped to the floor. She called to him, feebly, “Your Highness!”
The Crown Prince turned around and swept his eyes over her alluring form. From head to toe, the maid was in a sorry state. He had gripped her wrists and neck so hard that they were completely red. Her virgin blood smeared the hem of her dress. He coldly instructed the servants in the corner of the room, “Force Contraception Medicine down her throat and send her to the Lateral Courts!”
