Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 149 - 149: Loyal Maid Who Died Because of Beauty (19)

"As long as this prince loves you, it is fine," Lu Heng said. "Yue Ran, you have to believe this prince. What this prince can give you is something that your cousin could not get, even if he worked very hard for a lifetime. This prince will make women all over the world envy you."

As Lu Heng said so, he stretched out his other free hand and pulled on the belt of the young girl's dress, revealing the piece of red clothing underneath.

It was bound to be a restless night.

The wind and waves continued to hit the sea surface, and the broken ship drifted with the wind and was forced to sink.

The spring night is bitter, the day is high, and the king does not go to court early. This was the exact saying for the current Lu Heng.

Hearing Wang Li's voice constantly urging him from the outside, Lu Heng had the idea of not wanting to get up for the first time.

Lu Heng turned his head to look at Yue Ran, who had passed out after a long night. Her temples were wet with sweat, her brows were tightly locked on her exhausted face, and the scarlet quilt covered every inch of her chest. The plum blossoms embedded on her porcelain skin looked as gorgeous and beautiful as those plum blossoms in the snowy winter.

The young man carefully tidied the young girl's messy hair, bowed his head to slowly touch his lips to the end of her eye, and then reluctantly got out of bed.

…

Since that day, Yue Ran has lived in the exclusive courtyard of Lu Heng himself, in the front yard. And no matter how much other people object to this, the young man did not take a step back at all.

There was already very little time for Lu Heng to enter the backyard, and even if he did, he would basically visit Yi Yan, Chu Ning, Li Xin, and Bai Fen.

Ever since Yi Yan exposed Yue Ran's incident that day, Lu Heng had never stepped into her room again, and Yi Yan broke a lot of porcelain in anger.

This also allows everyone to see clearly just how much Lu Heng values Yue Ran in his heart.

There was only gloom in the backyard.

…

The time went ticking past, and soon it was time for Lu Heng to succeed to the throne.

"Sit down," Chu Ning said as she looked down at everyone in front of her.

"Thank you, Madam," everyone replied in unison.

Chu Ning looked at Yue Ran, who was sitting below in a simple light blue dress. Her skin was so white and smooth that it was enviable.

Those pair of inky black eyes that glanced and looked at others were like pools of clear water that would drown one with affection when they were being stared at, but now they have changed. Her facial features were especially beautiful. Her features, from head to toe, were beautiful. Everything about her was just so beautiful that Chu Ning wanted to ruin everything about her! Even those who sat beside her looked like foils, even if they were to wear outstanding and bright clothes.

In the past year, the third prince's doting on Yue Ran has made Chu Ning very jealous. Fortunately, Yue Ran was not in good health and was not able to conceive an heir; otherwise, it would be harder for Chu Ning to handle things.

As if sensing Chu Ning's sight, Yue Ran looked up. Those eyes, which were previously soft and full of affection, were now cold. They look so cold that their eyes do not contain a trace of emotion.

Chu Ning narrowed her eyes and quickly dodged away. She felt a little hairy. Why was she so scared of Yue Ran for a moment? Why does she feel extreme fear? No, it must be just her imagination. Yes, it must be so.

Chu Ning shifted her gaze to Li Xin and said, "When you and Yi Yan entered the palace together, I gave each of you a jade bracelet. I just hope that no matter how high or low your status is, everyone can be as close as sisters."

Then she talked about the happy past between them, as if trying to strengthen their alliance.

"Thank you, Madam, for the bracelet that you have rewarded me," Li Xin answered with a smile. "I have been wearing it every day, and it is also thanks to the Madam that I can be where I am today."

Now, Yi Yan acts much more low-key than before. She is no longer as arrogant and cold as she was before. She is no longer as proud as she was before. This was all because she knew that Lu Heng no longer liked herself. So even if she were to face Li Xin's provocations, she could still bear them.

While the women were talking, a little eunuch ran in in a hurry.

"Madams and concubines, it is not good!" The little eunuch said it with a little panic on his face.

"Speak well. What is going on?" Chu Ning asked.

"His Majesty, His Majesty has passed away," the little eunuch replied.

Li Xin covered her mouth in fright and fell off the chair. Has the emperor passed away?

"Where is His Highness, the third prince?" Yi Yan asked.

Chu Ning cast a dissatisfied glance at Yi Yan but did not say anything since it was difficult for her to speak at this time and in this situation.

"When His Highness, the third prince, received this news, he had already set off," the little eunuch said in reply.

When the women in the whole room heard of the emperor's death, they were not actually sad, but they felt really excited! They were thinking about how their status would change from a prince's concubine into the emperor's concubine, so how could they feel sad?

This status change was more than just a step up. It was more like jumping from the lower floor to the upper floor. They were very happy, even though they had put on sad expressions on their faces. The joy was naturally more concentrated on Chu Ning, who was to be the future empress, the second highest status of an ancient woman. The highest one would naturally be the empress dowager.

Well, no matter how joyful everyone was in their hearts, they had to obediently pretend to be distraught; otherwise, those literati would fight words against them, and if there was anything wrong, their reputations would go down the drain.

…

Right now, Lu Heng is equally excited.

Standing alone in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Lu Heng slowly strokes the dragon throne that represents the supreme ruler under the heavens.

"After so many years, I have finally gotten it in my hands," Lu Heng said. "Imperial father, more than twenty years ago, did you ever think that I, who has made you feel ashamed, could now sit on the dragon throne that you snatched from many of your brothers?"

At that time, Lu Heng's biological mother was the ugliest and most vulgar maid servant in the imperial palace. That time was also the time when the fight to seize the throne was the most tragic. His imperial father was also framed for making a mistake in court and was thus faced with the anger of the current late, late emperor, who was Lu Heng's grandfather.

The fight was fierce, but at last, Lu Heng's father ascended the throne and became the emperor. But again, he was somehow framed, and when he woke up one day, he saw that he had slept with the lowest and most extremely ugly foot-washing servant. He immediately felt disgusted and sick. As for when Lu Heng was born out of that affair, he (Lu Heng's imperial father) also did not dare to look at the baby Lu Heng, fearing that his eyes would be stained with dirt and dust.

This was why Lu Heng had been neglected since he was very young. His mother was also not there to accompany him due to her early death after bearing a child.

"A few years ago, when you once asked to let me sit on the dragon throne, I declined. At that time, I really wanted to sit on it, but I knew that it was not the right time, because sooner or later, this dragon throne would belong to me," Lu Heng said. "And now, it is mine. Imperial father, you should rest in peace while I continue to guard the Jin Dynasty for you."

The throne room fell silent after that as Lu Heng took a seat on the dragon throne as if he were already the Jin Dynasty's present emperor.

…

Since that day, the imperial palace has been plunged into a vast expanse of whiteness.

As soon as the funeral ceremony was over, the Jin Dynasty began to grow restless as many ambitious people popped out here and there.

The civil servants headed by Bo Ying, the late emperor's most reliant minister, holding a very high position above all the officials, used the ancestral rules as an excuse to respect the late emperor's empress and his adoptive mother as the empress dowagers.

But how could Lu Heng really agree to this? Not to mention that his imperial father's empress has never liked or supported him since she is supporting his second brother. And if he were really to make her the empress dowager, would he not be under pressure again?
