Female supremacy: blasphemy of imperial power [Yuri/GL]

Chapter 74: Conspiracy

“What's the matter? How was the taste of that First Young Master?”

The tone was teasing, but there was an underlying chill upon closer inspection.

Flower Daughter propped up a ledger with one hand, her gaze fixed on Zhao Yang, who was lounging in a chair. The coldness in her voice wasn’t directed at Zhao Yang but was a derisive jab at Wu Di.

Zhao Yang delightfully adjusted the light blanket around her and, with her eyes closed, replied, “I took a few bites; it was a bit tough.” It simply couldn't compare to Zhao Huang’s warm and fragrant body.

“You didn’t use him?” Flower Daughter had no soft words for Wu Di, directly using the term “use.”

“Of course not.”

Zhao Yang felt it was necessary to avoid acting recklessly. In Zhao Huang’s palace, where beauties abounded, if she were to act impulsively and stir up chaos, then…

Zhao Yang realized she certainly did not appreciate others touching what belonged to her.

Flower Daughter, puzzled, asked, “But that drug is good stuff; I don’t have much left on hand. With its effects… how did you manage to endure?” She then exclaimed in surprise, “Could it be that you and that person became deeply attached, and you just persevered through it?”

“It's not that dramatic.” Zhao Yang chuckled lightly. “If willpower were all that was needed to negate the effects of the drugs, then those who wish to live wouldn’t succumb even when poisoned with arsenic, would they?”

“Well then…”

“My desires aren’t particularly strong. Having practiced self-discipline for many years, I may have developed some emotional detachment.” Zhao Yang stated calmly, though her tone hinted at a hint of self-deprecation.

As for women, lacking capability and feeling emotionally detached could be quite disheartening. Immediately, Flower Daughter looked at Zhao Yang with a subtle sympathy, sighing inwardly, indeed, no one is perfect!

“But if you’re emotionally detached, then what’s going on with that one?”

Zhao Yang’s lips curled into a smile laden with depth. “Seeing her enjoy herself naturally brings me pleasure.”

“……” Flower Daughter’s imagination instantly ran wild!

She quickly decided to stop probing into this matter, surprised that Zhao Yang would actually not mind discussing such things with her. It seemed that Zhao Huang had changed Zhao Yang quite a bit.

“Back to the main topic, what are you planning to do about Wu Di?” Flower Daughter asked with a serious tone.

Zhao Yang slowly opened her eyes and looked at Flower Daughter, saying, “The First Young Master is not someone to be dealt with easily. He only got caught up in this situation because someone was too impatient. Otherwise, Wu Di…” Zhao Yang shook her head. “He is very meticulous; it seems he has had his eye on me since a year ago, or perhaps even longer.”

“Wu Di approaching you shouldn’t be for an assassination, right?” Flower Daughter recalled the way he looked that morning; he truly was handsome, and the way he gazed at Zhao Yang had its own allure. It was more believable to say he was trying to seduce Zhao Yang.

“Exactly.” Zhao Yang continued, “I was very weak when I was drugged, yet there was no killing intent in his eyes. Otherwise, the chance for him to succeed would have been quite high.”

Zhao Yang stated calmly, “This is not difficult to understand. He must be coveting what I have; how could he bear to kill me and leave it at that?”

Flower Daughter rolled her eyes and said with a smile, “If that were their plan, then your hidden guards would definitely be able to deal with him before he gets a chance to act.”
