Chapter 238: The Last Trump Card Was Also Drained

Drugging?

Upon hearing Xiao Churen's words, Zhang Xiaoxiao trusted him even more and grew to dislike Su Wanshi even more.

She also felt that Su Wanshi really deserved some punishment, so after a brief farewell, she confidently left the palace.

When Su Wanshi heard Xiao Churen falsely accuse her of drugging him, she felt even colder and thought that Xiao Churen was becoming more and more terrifying.

She dared not argue with him anymore, nor did she dare to contradict him, but she really didn't want to lose the child.

Not only because the child was of the Chu King's bloodline and could help her gain his favor, but also because she knew that miscarriage would cause great harm to her body.

Once upon a time, one of her father's concubines in the backyard became pregnant. Her mother was afraid that the concubine would give birth to a son and compete for the emperor's favor, so she used tricks to make her miscarry.

However, after the miscarriage, that concubine lost her fertility and was completely rejected by Su Yu.

Over the years, Jiang Qinshu had used such methods to deal with many women in Su Yu's harem, and Su Wanshi was well aware of this.

"Your Highness, are you... are you really going to kill our child? Have you really forgotten our past love? How wonderful the days we spent together were!"

Su Wanshi looked at Xiao Churen with teary eyes, trying to bring up their past relationship to win back Xiao Churen's feelings for her.

However, Xiao Churen remained unmoved upon hearing these words.

"Even if Your Highness doesn't care about our past relationship, could Your Highness please spare our child for the sake of the life I saved back then? This is Wan Shi's and Your Highness's child, and I really don't want to lose him!"

Su Wanshi, feeling helpless, resorted to pleading for forgiveness by recalling the past favors she had received in saving her life.

She thought, even if the past feelings were gone, she had saved the King of Chu's life back then, so that should be enough!

But to her surprise, Xiao Churen laughed mockingly when he heard this.

"Do you really think you've saved me?"

Xiao Churen looked at Su Wanshi with a smug and crazy expression.

Hearing Su Wanshi mention the matter of saving his life, he finally felt relieved. Su Wanshi had seduced the Crown Prince behind his back, which made him very angry and frustrated. Now he finally found an outlet for his anger.

"What do you mean by that, Your Highness?"

Su Wanshi looked at Xiao Churen with some confusion and surprise.

Could it be that he found out that he had snatched the jade pendant from Su Liluo back then?

But that doesn't sound right either!

The King of Chu said that she didn't save him?

That......

Before Su Wanshi could process what was happening, Xiao Churen smiled vengefully and continued, "Let me tell you! I am not the person you saved back then! The owner of that jade pendant is the Crown Prince!"

However, even if you were to tell the Crown Prince now that you were the one who saved him, he probably wouldn't believe you. He would never fall in love with someone just because of a jade pendant.

"Back then, after I took the jade pendant from you, I had Qi Yinyin impersonate the Crown Prince's savior to seduce him, but the Crown Prince drove her away."

What?

The jade pendant belongs to... the Crown Prince!

Su Wanshi's body went limp, her face filled with disbelief.

How did things turn out this way?

If the jade pendant belonged to the crown prince, then why did the King of Chu impersonate him in the first place?

She still believed that the King of Chu liked her because she had saved him!

But now the King of Chu is telling me no, so did the King of Chu really like me back then?

Su Wanshi was puzzled.

In fact, Xiao Churen did approach her intentionally because of the jade pendant, hoping to find out about the Crown Prince from her.

They even planned to use her against the Crown Prince.

However, he was indeed deceived by Su Wanshi's appearance. Su Wanshi created a perfect image of a graceful lady in front of outsiders. Which man wouldn't be moved by that?

Moreover, she was at the age when she was just beginning to experience romantic feelings, and Su Wanshi had captivated her back then.

"Your Highness, are you... are you telling the truth?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Su Wanshi asked with trembling lips.

Do you think I have any reason to lie to you?

The King of Chu responded coldly.

Su Wanshi felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked; it was all over, and her last trump card had been taken away.

There was never any favor between her and the King of Chu.

A short while later, a servant brought up the prepared medicine, and Xiao Churen ruthlessly ordered someone to force-feed it to Su Wanshi.

After drinking it, Su Wanshi felt a sudden abdominal pain and a persistent downward pressure in her lower abdomen.

Overwhelmed by intense pain and a chilling fear in her heart, she couldn't help but faint.

In her daze, Su Wanshi seemed to return to the past, seeing the time when the King of Chu was so caring and devoted to her.

How good the King of Chu was to me back then!

Everyone knew that the King of Chu admired her, so even though she was just the daughter of a minor official of the sixth rank, the noble ladies of the city all...

You need to give yourself a nice look.

In her daze, she saw herself going to a rouge shop to buy rouge, and getting into an argument with several young ladies from wealthy families.

At that time, she was forced to kneel down by the other party because of her status. Fortunately, the King of Chu arrived in time, not only saving her from the predicament, but also making those daughters slap themselves and kneel down to apologize to him.

How satisfying that is!

Later, as the engagement drew near, she was to marry the Crown Prince. Unwilling to marry the disabled Crown Prince, she went to the King of Chu and said that Su Liluo was unwilling to marry in his place and even ran away from home.

The King of Chu then gently told her that he would go back and resolve the matter for her.

Later, the King of Chu rescued Su Liluo, who had run away from home, and Su Liluo fell in love with him at first sight.

King Chu used Su Liluo for his own benefit, making her obediently marry the Crown Prince.

In her dream, after Su Liluo married the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince was still disabled. Su Liluo not only disliked the Crown Prince, but also cheated on him.

The King of Chu thought she had beautiful features, so he had Qin Shuang, a divine physician from his palace, heal Su Liluo's face and teach her various skills to use her beauty to win over the court officials for the King of Chu.

Speaking of which, this Su Liluo is really quite capable.

In her dream, she bewitched many court officials, making them willingly serve the King of Chu.

Unfortunately, Su Zhen eventually returned, and even made a great contribution that earned him a title and the rank of general.

The mother said that Su Liluo looked too much like her wretched mother. If Su Zhen saw her, he would definitely see through the deception and tell her not to keep Su Liluo alive any longer.

At this time, Su Liluo was still working for the King of Chu, and he did not want to kill her completely. He planned to tell her not to see Su Zhen.

However, at this moment she suddenly noticed that the way the King of Chu looked at Su Liluo was a little strange.

It seems that even the King of Chu was attracted by Su Liluo's face. It has to be said that Su Liluo's face is so beautiful it's almost hateful!

Later, the King of Chu even said that Su Liluo was his cousin, and that she had done so much for them over the years, so he should give her some rewards after the matter was settled and keep her outside.

Only then did she fully realize the crisis.

In order to prevent Su Liluo from taking away her King of Chu, she plotted to have Su Liluo hurt her.

Finally, this angered the King of Chu.
