Chapter 43: A Woman's Strongest Weapon

If it was possible, she really wanted to carve the words Yao Moxin out of Ye Junqing's heart. Even if it caused him a moment of unendurable pain, it'd still be better than having him like this—always thinking about a woman who had never taken him into consideration.

"This prince is willing!" Even though everything Yao Mowan said was the truth, Ye Junqing couldn't tolerate someone saying bad things about Yao Moxin in front of him.

"The fact that you're willing shows that Prince is the same as Mowan, we're both selfish people that are simply doing things for our own motives! If you were truly concerned for great Chu, you wouldn't have given up the throne of Chu for Yao Moxin back then. You should understand better than anyone that Ye Hongyi has a selfish heart and is a coward! His ascension to the throne would only cause great Chu to decline!"

"Has Prince ever thought of great Chu's plight when Prince decided to go with Yao Moxin's wishes? If you haven't, then what right do you have to sit here and tell Mowan to give up her most realistic retreat for the sake of great Chu?" Yao Mowan's every word reverberated inside Ye Junqing's heart like a drum. That was right. Even now, what he truly wanted wasn't to protect great Chu but to not disappoint Moxin.

Guan Osprey Palace fell silent. Ye Junqing sat next to Yao Mowan for a long time before he finally spoke.

"But Moxin has really put out too much for great Chu…"

"It's that she's put out too much for Ye Hongyi!" corrected Yao Mowan coldly.

"Fine, let's eat." In this confrontation, Ye Junqing tasted total defeat again. He felt like he had never won against Yao Mowan in a battle of words before.

"Prince doesn't plan to storm off this time?" Yao Mowan restrained the anger in her eyes and looked towards him in surprise. This wasn't his usual style.

"It takes strength to storm away." Ye Junqing lifted his bowl. Although he couldn't win against her in words, he should at least turn the tables in some other battle! As his thoughts reached this point, he sped up and pretty much swept every dish that Yao Mowan usually liked to eat into his mouth.

He looked as if he wanted to eat everything so that there wasn't a single scrap left for her. As Yao Mowan watched, her lips hooked in a faint smile.

That night there was a gentle breeze and the moonlight was delightful.

Inside the bedroom of Pure Flowers Palace, there were embroidered clothing in piles on the ground and the pure white canopy stirred slightly. The figures having intercourse inside was stark clear.

On the bed, Yao Suluan's delicate white body was swaying like that of a mermaid's. As the movements became more intense, she started trembling from the pleasure. She panted softly as small beads of sweat gathered on her forehead. The besieging of the man above her made her perfectly willing to be his captive. As she climaxed, her body convulsed uncontrollably.

Yao Suluan couldn't remember how many times they had already been at it tonight, but the man still hasn't climaxed yet. At this time, the man suddenly flipped Yao Suluan around and started thrusting into her hard again. It caused almost every hair on Yao Suluan's body to tremble. Finally, with a low groan, the man finished with tonight's round of pleasure.

"Compared to Ye Hongyi, does this prince's skill satisfy Consort Li?" The clear voice contained a joking tone. Ye Zixiao's eyes narrowed slightly as his lips hooked in a faint smile. His handsomeness was no inferior to Ye Hongyi's, but he gave off a strangely unreadable aura.

"Yao Suluan feels that this life is perfect to have been able to spend a night with Prince…" Yao Suluan dragged her exhausted body over and weakly leaned into Ye Zixiao's arms. She coyly sighed her admiration as she drew soft circles on his chest with a finger. From what she could remember, Ye Hongyi had never given her such satisfaction before.

"Let this prince think, how can this prince thank Consort Li for such a high evaluation?" As Ye Zixiao spoke, his fingers moved over her fair slender thighs and in between those lips. It was only when Yao Suluan's body started convulsing again that he took his fingers out.

"Nnn… Prince…" Even when Ye Zixiao stopped touching her, Yao Suluan's body still continued to convulse.

"Consort Li's voice is truly pleasant. This prince just can't get enough of it." Ye Zixiao's lips hooked slightly, his eyes bright.

"Prince… Suluan really can't take anymore…" When Yao Suluan sensed the heat in Ye Zixiao's eyes, she immediately begged to be let off.

"This is this prince's first time lying with Consort Li in Pure Flowers Palace's bed. Of course this prince must make sure Consort Li is satisfied!" Ye Zixiao pulled Yao Suluan closer.

"Prince, please have mercy on Suluan. Suluan really can't take anymore." Yao Suluan blushed as she bashfully tried to push him away.

"In reality, this prince really wants to know how Consort Li had the courage to invite this prince to Pure Flowers Palace. Aren't you worried about His Majesty suddenly bursting in?" Ye Zixiao returned to the main topic when he saw Yao Suluan beg for mercy.

"Ha! His Majesty has long forgotten that Suluan is in this inner palace. Even if Suluan dies in Pure Flowers Palace, His Majesty wouldn't even bother to come take a glance." When Ye Hongyi was brought up, Yao Suluan's hazy eyes instantly turned cold again. She had done so much for Ye Hongyi, but what she got in return was just a cup of poisoned wine! Ye Hongyi, you were the one that turned ruthless first, so you shouldn't blame Suluan for responding in kind!

"It's because of this that Consort Li tried to persuade this prince to revolt?" Ye Zixiao twirled a strand of Yao Suluan's hair around his finger as a cold light flashed through the depths of his eyes.

"Of course not. Suluan just feels that Prince suits that dragon throne more than Ye Hongyi!" Yao Suluan turned to the side to look straight into Ye Zixiao's eyes. The man in front of her now was her new hope.

Ever since she had shown her last hand to Ye Hongyi that day, she knew that as long as Ye Hongyi was still on the throne, she'd never be able to change her situation. And of the current imperial clan, the only influential power other than Ye Junqing was Ye Zixiao.

Ye Junqing had stayed in Guan Osprey Palace for a long period of time, so he was probably well aware of Yao Mowan's secrets. Perhaps they became allies a long time ago. The other reason Yao Suluan didn't choose Ye Junqing was because if Ye Junqing ever found out how Yao Moxin died, there was no way he'd let her off. Hence, Ye Zixiao became Yao Suluan's first choice.

After deciding on her target, she started making plans. Towards a man, a woman's body was the best weapon.

"Prince doesn't think so. Although Ye Hongyi doesn't suit the dragon throne, Ye Junqing's entirely worthy and he's of the main line while this prince is just of a branch line of the imperial clan. There's seriously no reason for this prince to covet the imperial throne," refuted Ye Zixiao lightly as he gazed at the woman in his arms.

"The main line? Whoever has the ability to become the emperor becomes of the main line! Had the previous emperor not pulled strings, the current dynasty would have been inherited by Luminescent Prince's line. Everyone in the imperial clans know of this, but it's become a taboo to voice. Could it be that Prince is really willing to just bow and accept this?" Yao Suluan sensed that Ye Zixiao was probing her so she got right to the point.

"What if this prince is willing to bow and accept this?" Ye Zixiao gradually tightened his finger around Yao Suluan's hair until Yao Suluan felt slight pain.

"Then that means Suluan had poor sight and misjudged." Yao Suluan's voice was slightly cold and she moved to get up, but Ye Zixiao abruptly pulled her back down.

"This prince will use reality to prove how accurate Consort Li's sight is!" After being jabbed in his sore spot, Ye Zixiao suddenly seemed to turn into a beast and his black eyes emitted barbarous cold light.

"Suluan know from a long time ago that Prince was someone of talent. As long as Prince has need of it, Suluan will definitely do all she can to help! All that Suluan asks for is that Prince doesn't forget Suluan's good points once you ascend to the throne…" Yao Suluan was delighted. If she managed to get into Ye Zixiao's graces, her future had hope again.
