Chapter 144 – Will He Give Up His Heir for You?

Taking advantage of Prince Zhenbei’s attendance at court, Shen Ruofei made her way to his chambers. After all, she held the title of a secondary consort, so no guards stopped her…

“Shen Yu Gongzi.”

Shen Yu was lost in thought about something in his book. It wasn’t until Shen Ruofei sat across from him that he gradually pulled his mind back to reality…

“Heh…”

Seeing his seemingly normal gaze, which was actually somewhat hollow, Shen Ruofei couldn’t help but laugh.

“Shen Yu Gongzi, you really went to extremes to earn the prince’s favor, didn’t you? You didn’t even spare yourself. I have to admit, I’m impressed. I could never be that resolute. This time, you won a battle, didn’t you? At least you’ve kept the prince by your side, haven’t you?”

Shen Ruofei’s tone was light and mocking. She thought Shen Yu was ruthless to himself, but also truly foolish. Even if Prince Zhenbei cared for him temporarily, so what? Look at how dazed and absent-minded he seemed now—the prince would tire of him sooner or later…

Shen Yu showed no emotion, merely looking at Shen Ruofei. “At first, I didn’t believe you had really poisoned yourself, but it seems you did…”

Shen Ruofei’s smile vanished. After all, only she and Shen Yu were here, and he had become even more silent than before, not even making hand gestures anymore. There was no need for her to pretend any longer.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll get straight to the point. I want you to leave the prince. Do you understand?”

Leave Jun Xuanxiao? That would be wonderful. The days spent facing him every day were so suffocating that he didn’t even dare to breathe freely. If he could leave, that would be the best outcome…

But what did this have to do with her? Was Jun Xuanxiao asking her to say this?

It didn’t seem like it…

Shen Ruofei frowned, unsure what to make of Shen Yu’s calm expression.

“Are you still planning to cling to the prince? On my wedding day, the prince made it very clear to you that he didn’t want to see you again!”

That was indeed the case…

Shen Yu certainly remembered, but it wasn’t him who was clinging on. If anyone was to blame, it was Jun Xuanxiao, who had changed his mind again, leaving Shen Yu confused as to whether he wanted to see him or not.

Shen Yu, who had closed off his feelings towards Jun Xuanxiao, found his mind sluggish as he tried to figure this out…

“What? Are you unconvinced?” Shen Ruofei grew more displeased with Shen Yu’s silence. “You think using these despicable tactics will make the prince pity you? Let me tell you, men are always drawn to the new and tire of the old. He won’t love you forever just because he pities you—his feelings aren’t sincere!”

Watching Shen Ruofei’s agitated expression, Shen Yu suddenly found her twisted face amusing, so he smiled.

To Shen Ruofei, this smile appeared as a contemptuous sneer.

“You don’t believe me, do you? I know you won’t give up easily. Do you think you’re the prince’s secondary consort too? Why should I yield to you? Let me tell you, mute slave, you were a lowly servant from the start, a slave in my family’s household! Whatever I command you to do, you must obey!”

“The name Shen Yu belongs to me. Everything you have now should have been mine! You’re nothing but a substitute, so I’m here to take it all back!”

Shen Yu finally reacted. He shook his head slightly, indicating his refusal.

The name Shen Yu was indeed supposed to belong to the eldest daughter of the Shen family, but she wasn’t the only one who could have it. There was a wicked man who gave him this name, called him Yu’er, and that man’s words were law, branding this name into Shen Yu’s soul. He didn’t dare defy him, just as he now didn’t dare to run away or even speak to him, no matter how terrified he was.

“You!!”

Shen Ruofei hadn’t expected Shen Yu to refuse so decisively.

“Heh… So, you’re determined to fight me, are you? I almost regret not ruining your face ten years ago! It would have saved me all this trouble…”

Shen Ruofei sneered. “Mute slave, do you know why I’m so confident you can’t win against me?”

Shen Yu found this baffling. He had never wanted to fight anyone. Whoever wanted to take the wicked man away could do so—he would be grateful…

Shen Ruofei walked up to Shen Yu and placed his hand on her belly.

“Because I’m a woman, and you’re a man. That’s my biggest advantage.”

Shen Ruofei narrowed her eyes coldly. “The prince is a man destined to rule the world. He might play with you for a while, but he won’t love you for a lifetime. You’re still young and beautiful now, so he’s infatuated with you. But what about when you grow old and lose your looks, hmm?”

“The prince will become emperor and take an empress, and that empress will be me. Have you ever heard of a man being made empress in the history books? Never. Once a man becomes emperor, he must adhere to the principles of a ruler; he won’t do anything outrageous. Look at all those male favorites in history who were beloved by monarchs—how did they end up? Each one met a miserable end!”

Her last words were chilling, like a blade cutting through ice. “Don’t think it’s unfair. The fact that I can carry the prince’s child in this womb is my greatest leverage. When history is written, I will be the empress, mother of the nation. And you, you’ll just be the male concubine who bewitched the emperor! The prince might shower you with love, but do you really think he would give up his heir for you?”
