The Enchanting Imperial Concubine (Book 2)

Chapter 270 - Taking Advantage of the Situation

"That kind of talk is something I've never heard before; you've put in quite a bit of effort," Ye Yun said, a slight smile curling her lips.

She signaled Nan Zhi to take the items over.

Then she directly added, "Wang Cainu, you didn't come here just to deliver gifts, did you? If you want something, just say it. However, let me make one thing clear: don't think about gaining favor. I cannot send someone else to the dragon bed."

Hearing this, Wang Cainu's expression instantly stiffened.

Recalling what Zheng Cairen had said earlier, she realized that Zheng Cairen hadn't lied to her.

But what she sought was indeed favor, and now, with Ye Yun's words, she was too frightened to say a word.

After biting her lip, it took her a long moment to force a somewhat awkward smile.

"Xiuyuan, how could I dare to compete for favor in front of you? I only hope that you can look out for me a little, so my days in the palace aren't too difficult."

Though she said this, Wang Cainu's abilities were truly lacking, and her performance had already revealed her true thoughts.

It would be a miracle if Ye Yun believed her.

However, it was clear that Wang Cainu was afraid of her. Since that was the case, it was fine to quell Wang Cainu's intentions without going too far.

So Ye Yun smiled and waved her hand. "This isn't a big deal. As long as you understand your position and don't oppose me, I can certainly make things a little easier for you."

After all, it was just a matter of words—simply talking.

Upon hearing this, Wang Cainu immediately got up to express her gratitude, looking quite moved.

However, her act was far from convincing; Ye Yun found it uninteresting and didn't want to engage with her any longer.

Just as she was about to send Wang Cainu away, she heard the announcement of the Emperor's arrival from outside.

At this point, it would be inappropriate to dismiss her first.

So she stood up to greet the Emperor.

Meanwhile, Wang Cainu naturally followed behind her, her eyes shining brightly.

Who would have thought that she would run into the Emperor like this?

This was her first time in the palace after serving the Emperor and not having seen him again—what a rare opportunity!

"I've told you so many times, you're heavy with child. You shouldn't come out to greet me; I can go in myself," Ning Chen said with a concerned expression as he walked over, skillfully taking Ye Yun's hand.

"I miss you, Your Majesty, so of course I wanted to see you as soon as possible," Ye Yun replied, looking at him with a slight smile.

Seeing her smile, Ning Chen couldn't help but return it, leading her into the room.

Only then did he notice that there was a woman dressed as a concubine kneeling on the floor.

He frowned slightly, "Who are you?"

Hearing the Emperor speak to her, Wang Shi quickly became excited and replied, "Your Majesty, I am Wang Cainu."

Her voice was sweet and enchanting, sending a chill through Ye Yun's eyes.

This woman was trying to get close to the Emperor in her palace, practically stealing food from her plate.

If Wang Cainu really did something, it would seriously embarrass her.
