How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 609: Pei Shu’er, You Have Shamed Me Most

Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Pei Shu’er, You Have Shamed Me Most

At the same time, Pei Shu’er also knew that before Yan Hengyin ascended the throne, he had suffered considerable backlash, and many ministers doubted him.

In the end, through either coercion or conciliation, he managed to change the minds of those ministers.

Now, the ministers in the court have gradually been suppressed.

Although there are still dissenting voices, they are not as many as before.

It is believed that in a little while, there will be only one voice remaining.

Pei Shu’er was actually not surprised, as Yan Hengyin had both the capability and cunning.

Of course, this usurpation has never been legitimate or proper in name.

After all, the Crown Prince is still present, and it makes no sense for a legitimate heir to be passed over for a son of a lower rank to become Emperor.

Therefore, not only court ministers but also some princes were not particularly convinced by Yan Hengyin.

And Pei Shu’er, during this period, was doing things that would reignite such conflicts just as Yan Hengyin was about to succeed.

Of course, the smart princes did not step forward; instead, they let other court ministers take the lead.

Regardless, it was a win-win situation.

Yan Hengyin, who had finally found a spare moment, could have gone to find trouble with the Prince Zhan Mansion, but he had to put it aside to deal with courtroom matters.

The current situation is complicated, and if he were to provoke the Prince Zhan Mansion again, the forces aligned with Prince Zhan Mansion would surely retaliate.

But even as busy as he was, Yan Hengyin still remembered that there was a Pei Shu’er in his harem.

Recently, because his power was unstable, Yan Hengyin promised a few more consort positions to consolidate his hold.

Ultimately, he married the Empress, who was the Grand Secretary’s legitimate daughter, managing to barely secure his power.

However, the eunuch by his side unmistakably felt that the Emperor was not truly happy, as on the day before his grand wedding, he was painting at his desk, though no one knew whom he was painting.

But Li Xide knew that Yan Hengyin must have been painting the person in his heart.

Yet after completing it, Yan Hengyin burnt it with fire.

This Third Prince ended up placing the inkstone and brush into the flames.

Then he sat there, watching as the painting was consumed bit by bit.

When the painting was nearly burned away, he seemed suddenly possessed, reaching out to try and retrieve it until Li Xide hurriedly pulled Yan Hengyin back.

"Your Majesty, the painting is destroyed, it can just be painted again, no painting is more important than Your Majesty’s health."

Yan Hengyin let out a laugh with indiscernible meaning, as cold as ice.

"Back to Yangxin Palace."

On the day of his grand marriage, Yan Hengyin went to the Ren Shan Palace where Pei Shu’er was staying.

Upon seeing Pei Shu’er leisurely reading a book, he laughed coldly.

"Pei Shu’er, who would have thought you could stay so peacefully in my harem for so long."

Pei Shu’er did not lift her eyelids, merely turned a page of her book.

"What, haven’t had the time to deal with me yet?"

As soon as Pei Shu’er finished speaking, she saw Yan Hengyin approaching her and pulling the book away from her hands.

Pei Shu’er did not let go, calmly raising her eyes to meet his gaze.

"Does the Third Prince have a habit of taking what others like? You won’t even spare a book?"

A shadow flashed through Yan Hengyin’s eyes.

"No, you were meant to be mine. It was only because I gave you up that Tang Zan picked you up."

Pei Shu’er smirked: "No, it’s not that you gave me up, it’s that I gave you up. Third Prince, is it pitiful that even now you refuse to admit it?"

Yan Hengyin laughed: "Pei Shu’er, don’t forget, where are you now?"

Pei Shu’er smiled more deeply: "I’m on vacation in the Imperial Palace."

She had initially thought of saying she was resting for her pregnancy in the palace but held back on second thought.

If Yan Hengyin knew she was pregnant, who knew how he might torment her.

When Pei Shu’er said nothing, Yan Hengyin sneered.

"Is that so? Then let me show you what you’re really here for in the Imperial Palace."

As soon as he said this, he stooped to pick up Pei Shu’er, who widened her eyes, instinctively shielding her abdomen with her hands.

Yan Hengyin looked down at Pei Shu’er, seeing her flawless white skin and the fleeting astonishment in her eyes.

As he was lowering his head to kiss Pei Shu’er, she slapped him across the face.

Yan Hengyin froze, his eyes turning red.

"Pei Shu’er, in all my life, you’re the one who has humiliated me the most."

Pei Shu’er looked coldly before responding: "Didn’t you bring that upon yourself?"

As Yan Hengyin was about to lose his temper, Pei Shu’er’s tone was indifferent.

"You better go, after all, your empress is waiting for you."

Yan Hengyin sneered: "I’ll first make you mine right here, then I’ll go to the empress."

Pei Shu’er wore a faint smile as she replied: "Oh, really?"

Just as Yan Hengyin was about to speak, he felt a hard object against his chest. Looking down, he saw a dagger.

Pei Shu’er’s swift action left him no time to react.

Pei Shu’er laughed: "Go a step further, and you’re dead."

Yan Hengyin looked at Pei Shu’er, and while she was unaware, he managed to seize the dagger from her.

The dagger cut Yan Hengyin’s hand, but he now held it.

As he was about to proceed, he noticed his body feeling numb. When looking back at Pei Shu’er, he saw her smiling, then suddenly pushing him aside.

Yan Hengyin tumbled to the ground.

Despite his hatred for Pei Shu’er, he ground his teeth and could only call for an Imperial Physician before going to the empress.

At this moment, Pei Shu’er finally, through the palace maid Shiliu, learned where Tao Mingxuan was and had Shiliu bring him over.

When Tao Mingxuan saw Pei Shu’er, he couldn’t help but tease her.

"Princess Consort, how did you manage to land yourself in this situation?"

Compared to Tao Mingxuan’s contentment with women all over the harem, Pei Shu’er’s situation indeed seemed less favorable.

Pei Shu’er smiled: "I have a way out. The only reason I remain here is to dismantle the enemy from within."

Tao Mingxuan chuckled: "Escaping is probably not as simple as you think, and Yan Hengyin is not as incompetent as you assume."

Pei Shu’er smirked, confident that while it might be difficult for others, it was a simple task for her.

Pei Shu’er said: "I have never underestimated him."

Tao Mingxuan addressed the matter at hand: "What did you call me here for this time?"

Pei Shu’er explained her plan to Tao Mingxuan, who nodded.

"Alright, I’ll take care of it."

Pei Shu’er first wrote a secret letter to Tang Zan, filled with codes known only to the two of them.

However, Tang Zan’s whereabouts were unknown to anyone at the moment.

She entrusted the letter and a token to Tao Mingxuan.

"Deliver this letter to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; their people should have the ability to contact Tang Zan."

Certain matters still required both Tang Zan and her to be accomplished.

The letter took five days to reach Tang Zan.

Xuan Liu held up the letter: "Master, you should take a look."

Tang Zan was meditating with his eyes closed, showing no intention of reading it.
