Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 72: Wangfei

Zhao Chengjun rode his horse straight to the second gate. He threw the reins to his men and strode non-stop to the rear court, "How is she?"

Liu Ji received a letter from Wangye who was coming back early this morning. Liu Ji did not dare to be careless, so he hurried to the gate to meet Zhao Chengjun. Shizi and Shizi Consort had already gone to Jianjia courtyard, Liu Ji jogged after Zhao Chengjun, while hurriedly recounting the affairs of the mansion, "Wangye, Miss Tang is pregnant."

Although Zhao Chengjun had made full mental preparations earlier, his whole body was stiff for a split second, and was stunned on the spot, "What?"

Liu Ji caught up breathlessly and said, "It's true. Miss Tang secretly called a traveling doctor herself and later, Shizi called the imperial physician, who also diagnosed a happy pulse. I have people to make some inquiries and found that Miss Tang's menstruation has stopped. In the past few months, she has been in a state of sudden happiness and sadness and her emotions seem very wrong. There should be no doubt that she is pregnant."

Zhao Chengjun did not know how long he had been stunned. After he regained his senses, he did not know whether he was surprised or angry. He said sharply, "Why didn't you say such an important thing in the letter?"

"I'm afraid the secret letter will be intercepted, so I don't dare to say it in detail." Liu Ji did not dare to waste time and said in a hurry, "Wangye, Shizi and Shizi Consort have already gone to Jianjia courtyard. Today, Madam Xi and Second Miss Xi are also there. I'm afraid something will happen. You quickly go and have a look."

Zhao Chengjun was so angry that he simply did not have time to pursue Liu Ji's concealment and rushed to the Jianjia courtyard.

When Zhao Chengjun received the letter in Suzhou, he already knew that something was wrong. Liu Ji was not a hasty person. If Liu Ji wrote a letter to him which meant something big must have happened. When Zhao Chengjun opened the envelope and saw the four words "Something happen to Jianjia" on it, and he felt a heavy thump in his heart.

Jianjia courtyard was the courtyard of Tang Shishi. Liu Ji was worried about leaking the secrets, so he did not write too much detail in it. However, these four words alone were enough to make Zhao Chengjun chaotic.

In fact, Zhao Chengjun had chosen two consorts before. His first betrothed wife was the eldest daughter of the Xi family. She was graceful and gentle, and read poetry. She had always been healthy, but she suddenly died of a foul disease before marriage. After his betrothed wife's funeral, Zhao Chengjun was persuaded by his subordinates to betroth to Li Xiayue, the eldest granddaughter of General Li. However, coincidentally, Li Xiayue also had an accident before her marriage and died after falling off a horse.

A young lady from a military general's family unexpectedly died from the falling of a horse. Henceforth, Zhao Chengjun's heart to get married had ceased. Empress Dowager Yao would not let him marry a young lady from a family that could provide assistance to him, and Zhao Chengjun did not want to marry Empress Dowager Yao's obedient person just to gross himself out. He would only drag the woman's life in vain if he married anyone before he settled his grudges with Empress Dowager Yao.

Zhao Chengjun also had no obsession with getting married and having children. That being the case, he completely broke off his deep affection for a woman, and wholeheartedly focused on expanding his power. Over the years, he had never paid attention to beautiful things, and marrying Tang Shishi was the only unusual idea he had come up with.

It was a crazy fantasy, but once it took root, it quickly grew into a towering tree that could not be eradicated. It was a pity that he has a deep affection for her but the other has no intention. Tang Shishi's heart cared about her former betrothed, and later she shifted her affection to Zhao Zixun. Zhao Chengjun would never force a woman. He had already given up this idea before leaving the mansion.
