A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace-Chapter 807: The Last Kindness I Give You

The atmosphere became awkward when emotions were not reined in.

Zhao Junyao quickly restrained his expressions, lightly coughed, and spoke indifferently.

"Sit down for the meal!"

"Yes!"

Noble Concubine Shih sat opposite him, face a blend of shame and delight.

"Cousin? I’m so glad you could come today!"

"I’ve personally arranged all these dishes. If you like them, please eat more!"

As she spoke, her face was filled with bashfulness again.

Just now, cousin’s expression was really...

It seems cousin still has feelings for her.

Indeed, it was that woman who hooked cousin and kept him from coming before.

Indeed, it’s you, Lady Xia, causing trouble behind the scenes!

A chill flashed in Noble Concubine Shih’s eyes: Just you wait!

Over here.

Zhao Junyao silently nodded and continued eating without saying much.

Noble Concubine Shih quieted down as well.

After the meal.

Noble Concubine Shih eagerly offered a cup of fragrant tea.

"This is brewed by me personally, cousin, taste it and see if you like it?"

Zhao Junyao glanced at her, took the tea, tasted it, and casually praised.

"It’s quite good!"

Noble Concubine Shih looked even more delighted.

A moment later, her eyes suddenly reddened.

Right in front of Zhao Junyao, she fell to her knees with a ’plop’.

"Emperor, I admit my mistakes!"

"Hmm?" Zhao Junyao was a bit puzzled, his expression slightly surprised.

Noble Concubine Shih continued.

"Cousin, I’ve done too many wrong things in the past, I know my faults!"

"I shouldn’t have squeezed out the Empress, shouldn’t have framed Noble Consort Xian, shouldn’t have used the Imperial Kitchen to harm the Crown Prince’s wetnurse..."

"There are many more, cousin, Wanxin knows all of her wrongs..."

She spoke while crying, tears falling like a beauty’s, quite moving.

Noble Concubine Shih saw the Emperor did not stop her, nor was he angry.

She became more convinced that he was willing to forgive her.

Thus.

Sobbing, she spilled out all her past wrongs.

She put on a pained stance, intending to win the Emperor’s sympathy and forgiveness.

However...

Zhao Junyao felt no waves in his heart.

He just stared at her expressionlessly.

He was silent for a while after she finished speaking, then finally spoke indifferently.

"Get up first!"

"No! Cousin, Wanxin has committed great sins, unforgivable, cousin, punish me however you wish, just, just..."

"Just what?" Zhao Junyao’s tone was chilly.

"Just don’t ignore Wanxin!"

Noble Concubine Shih lowered her head, face flushed, tears still clinging to her eyelashes, murmuring.

"Punish me however you wish, reflection at home, or dock my salary, or lower my rank, anything is fine, just don’t ignore Wanxin!"

"Cousin..."

The last two words were drenched in sobs, slightly trembling.

Any normal man would have already comforted the beauty with sweet words by now.

Yet Zhao Junyao just wanted to sneer!

’The country has its laws, the family its rules, what she did could lead to a fatal outcome!’

’Moreover, it was his child’s life!’

Imagine if the wetnurse was poisoned and fed milk to the child then, the child was so young, if by any chance...

Zhao Junyao dared not think further.

Such serious consequences, in her words, were so trivial?

Reflection at home? Docked salary? Lowered rank?

When did his child’s life, the rightful life of the Chu Dynasty Prince, become so inconsequential!

Could all this simply be written off?

Isn’t it laughably absurd?

"Stand up!"

Zhao Junyao got up and came to her, leaned down to personally help her up.

This time Noble Concubine Shih did not refuse.

She rose slowly, eyes filled with tears.

As she lifted her gaze, she happened to see his exquisitely defined side profile.

In that moment, her heart fluttered, her soft feelings overflowing.

Her legs weakened, and she collapsed into Zhao Junyao’s arms.

"Cousin..."

This soft calling contained deep emotion, tenderness, and honeyed sentiment, flirting into the bones.

Yet Zhao Junyao remained unmoved.

He did not push her away, but his expression remained cold.

Noble Concubine Shih paid no mind to anything more, unwilling to wait any longer.

She slowly closed her eyes, lifted herself on tiptoe to kiss him.

At this moment, Zhao Junyao suddenly spoke.

"Wanxin..."

His tone was much gentler, even slightly tender.

"Stand properly!"

Noble Concubine Shih’s face turned scarlet, her eyes blurred, hurriedly clinging to his waist and acting coy.

"No, I’ve twisted my ankle, I’m injured, I can’t stand properly!"

Zhao Junyao "..."

Silence!

Noble Concubine Shih closed her eyes again, buried her head in his chest, happily smiling.

"Cousin, if you visit me daily, I’m willing to change anything"

"For you, I’m willing to do anything!"

Zhao Junyao still did not speak.

He was silent for a moment, then wrapped his arms around her waist, gently lifting her, walking toward the inner chamber.

Noble Concubine Shih felt happiness spinning, her heart almost leaping out of her chest with excitement.

Afraid it was all just a dream again, that when she opened her eyes, it would all vanish.

So she tightly shut her eyes, not daring to open them.

The inner chamber was fragrant, the bed freshly made, petals scattered, everything just perfect.

She had already prepared everything, just for this sweetest moment.

She felt cousin gently place her on the bed.

She was moved to tears, happily murmuring.

"Cousin..."

"Cousin!"

Zhao Junyao was silent.

Noble Concubine Shih waited and waited, seeing no response or subsequent action.

So she opened her eyes to look at him.

Only to see Zhao Junyao standing by the bed’s edge, looking at her indifferently.

’He hasn’t left, cousin is still here!’

Noble Concubine Shih suddenly became happy again.

She sat up, lunged at him, trying to hold his neck and kiss him.

But was unexpectedly grabbed by her hands.

"Enough!"

Zhao Junyao’s voice was deep, mixed with barely restrained anger.

"What’s wrong with you, cousin?"

Noble Concubine Shih felt a bit confused.

Zhao Junyao released her hand and stepped back, taking two steps to catch his breath.

"Wanxin!"

"I came here today just to tell you, those past events, I can let them go!"

"This is the last bit of kindness I owe you!"

"If you can behave yourself and be content!"

"But if you dare do anything else, don’t blame me for not showing old affections!"

"Grand Tutor Shih has devoted his life to the Great Chu Dynasty, with high meritorious deeds, I don’t want him to have a miserable late life because of you!"

After speaking, he never looked at her again, directly flicking his sleeves and leaving.

Not bothering to turn back.

Noble Concubine Shih was shocked, panicking, fearful.

Seeing him leave, she completely panicked.

"Cousin..."

"Cousin... Don’t go, cousin!"

The hallway was already empty, she lay on the cold ground, clothes in disarray.

Letting the cold gradually invade her body, powerless against it.

"Cousin!"

Her tears poured down, she cried heart-wrenchingly.

"Why?"

"Why!"

"Why treat me this way, what is so good about that woman?!"

"Cousin!"

"Lady!"

Ying Qiu hurriedly rushed in.

"Lady, the ground is cold, hurry up and get up!"

"Cousin!" Noble Concubine Shih continued her heart-wrenching cries.
