Chapter 44: Getting What One Wishes For

Not long after General Zhou left, a voluptuous beautiful woman emerged from behind the screen; she was none other than the Princess Consort.

It turns out she had sneaked in to eavesdrop on the conversation.

At the moment, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes full of shy timidity, and her gaze at Yu Xian contained a hint of annoyance.

"Chief Yu, what disgraceful things were you saying with General Zhou just now? Does this palace still need my reputation?"

"When did you arrive, Madam?"

Yu Xian feigned shock.

The Princess Consort snorted coldly: "If I hadn't come, how would I know that Chief Yu had such deviant thoughts about me?"

Yu Xian's face turned slightly pale, and he quickly apologized with a bow: "General Zhou isn't one to gossip, and wouldn't talk nonsense."

In my anxiousness just now, I accidentally told... told the truth. If Madam blames me, I'm willing to be punished.

But these are my heartfelt words, even if I get punished by Madam, I won't change my mind."
