If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Guangning's search for a lover who looked like Lu Heng could be hidden from everyone except Concubine Yao.

Concubine Yao thought her daughter was still deeply in love with Lu Heng and wanted to call her stupid, but she felt sorry for Guangning's experience and couldn't bear to say a harsh word.

She just wanted to find Lu Heng and tear him into pieces.

So that he wouldn't harm Guangning again.

"Your Majesty, are you worried about the princess again?" Chu Zhi poured a cup of ginseng tea and placed it next to Concubine Yao.

Imperial Concubine Yao rubbed her brows and said, "Didn't you ask Guangning to come to the palace today? He hasn't come yet?"

"Your Majesty, it's still early. You know, the princess always gets up late." Chu Zhi spoke for Guangning.

"How is the girl?" asked Concubine Yao.

Chu Zhi: "The princess let the wet nurse take care of her. She usually doesn't pay much attention to her and doesn't seem to care much about her."

Imperial Concubine Yao snorted coldly, "Lu Xisong is really an old fox. He dared not come to ask for his own granddaughter even though he was demoted to a pariah."

"Don't the Lu family think that the princess can treat her as her daughter?" Chu Zhi snorted.

"He doesn't dare to have such thoughts." Imperial Concubine Yao said coldly, "He knows what Bai and Song Xiuzhi had done. The girl was born by Song Xiuzhi. Leaving her to Guangning is also to compensate Guangning with his life, hoping that Guangning will calm down."

Chu Zhi frowned, "As expected of a duke, he has such a cruel heart."

Concubine Yao took a sip of ginseng tea and said, "I don't know what Guangning is thinking."

She couldn't see what feelings Guangning had for this girl, but he wanted to keep her. Could it be for Lu Heng?

"Your Majesty, the princess has arrived." Qinghe came in and reported.

Concubine Yao suppressed the coldness in her eyes and curled up her lips into a gentle smile.

"Greetings, mother." Guangning knelt down and saluted as soon as he entered the hall.

"..." The smile on Concubine Yao's lips froze when she saw the young man behind Guangning.

She pinched the pillow with both hands so hard that she did not immediately order him to be thrown out of the palace.

"Guangning, this is the harem, why did you bring a man from outside? If your father knew about it, he would be very angry with you." Concubine Yao said in a deep voice.

If it were in the past, she would have scolded Guangning long ago.

Now I can only be careful, for fear of irritating her.

"Mother, who do you think he looks like?" Guangning walked up to Concubine Yao with a smile.

Concubine Yao gave the man a sharp and cold look.

The young man was trembling with fear and didn't even dare to look up at Concubine Yao.

Guangning seemed unaware of Concubine Yao's displeasure and continued to smile.

"Don't you think he looks like Lu Heng?"

"But he is more obedient than Lu Heng. I asked him to bark like a dog, and he barked like a dog."

"Even... he would be willing to have sex with a man."

"It's really interesting. Raising him is much more fun than raising Lu Heng."

Concubine Yao was horrified by what she heard and could hardly believe it.

She looked at Guangning in astonishment, and saw the bloodthirsty madness hidden in her smiling eyes. Concubine Yao felt uneasy.

"You..." Concubine Yao turned to look at the young man, "Go down first and wait outside."

The man's walking posture was not very natural, and scars were faintly visible on the exposed part of his neck.

Concubine Yao covered her chest and tried to calm herself down.

"Guangning, how many concubines do you have?"

"About three or four. This one looks the most like Lu Heng, and I like him the most." Guangning said with a smile.

Imperial Concubine Yao took a sip of ginseng tea, turned to Chu Zhi and said, "Change a cup of tea for me, and keep calm."

Chu Zhi agreed in a low voice.

"Guangning, do you keep lovers just to torture and abuse them?" Concubine Yao asked in a low voice.

Guangning shrugged indifferently, "They are all lowly people. It is their blessing that this princess is willing to abuse them."

There was a flash of anger in Concubine Yao's eyes. "You are a princess, yes. The wealth and splendor you enjoy today is not earned by your own efforts. It is because you were born into the royal family. Without the people paying taxes to support you, how can you be so noble?"

"Guangning, your salary comes from the people. You can't treat them like animals."

"I was born a princess, they should crawl at my feet, and I can kill them if I want..." Guangning disagreed.

Concubine Yao slapped her in the face.

"shut up!"

Guangning covered his face, but she still looked at him with a smile.

Imperial Concubine Yao was heartbroken, "Guangning!"

How could she teach her daughter to be so vicious? Her other three sons were obviously not like that.

"Release those people, and don't abuse them anymore." Imperial Concubine Yao said, "If you want Lu Heng, mother will send someone to find him."

Guangning laughed crazily, "Okay, find Lu Heng here, and I'll find a few tall and strong men to play with him. He can't die in front of me yet. I want him to be in a state of suffering."

Concubine Yao's heart felt like it was being torn apart.

She held Guangning's hand and said, "Guangning, are you... are you..."

"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." Guangning said with a smile.

Concubine Yao felt that the punishment for Song Xiuzhi and Bai was too light.

"Guangning, I have avenged those who have hurt you. It has nothing to do with the people in your mansion. You cannot vent your hatred on them." Concubine Yao said.

"Then who should I seek revenge on?" Guangning asked with a smile.

"If I hadn't married Lu Heng, I wouldn't have encountered these things. Lu Heng is the culprit."

If Shen Sui'an didn't break off the engagement, if Shen Sui'an didn't reveal Song Xiuzhi to her...

None of this will happen.

She hated Lu Heng, and she also hated Shen Suian.

"Guangning, outsiders don't know the harm you have suffered. They only see that you are arrogant and domineering and hurt others. You will lose your morals and reputation." Concubine Yao said.

"Mother, you are afraid that I will implicate my second brother." Guangning asked with a smile.

Concubine Yao suddenly became deflated, and she looked at Guangning intently.

Guangning smiled and said, "Don't worry, my second brother has a stable position in my father's heart."

"Go away." Concubine Yao's voice was very soft.

She no longer knew how to educate her daughter.

Guangning stood up and said, "Then my daughter will leave."

As soon as he walked out of the palace, he ran into the second prince.

"My second brother is well. My mother asked me to leave the palace, so I will leave first."

The second prince didn't have time to ask more questions before he saw Guangning walking out of Zhaoxi Palace.

“Mother, what happened to Guangning? I just saw a man who looked like…” The second prince said as he walked into the hall.

I didn't expect to see Concubine Yao in tears.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" the second prince asked in surprise.

Concubine Yao waved her hand and wiped her cheek with a silk handkerchief. "Think of a way to send Guangning away."

"It doesn't matter where she goes. Otherwise, ask your father to give her a fiefdom and not let her stay in Shangjing City."

The second prince was stunned, "Mother, Guangning has suffered such a great injury..."

"I know you feel bad for her. Don't I feel bad for her too? But just because she's been hurt before doesn't mean she can hurt others now. Not only will she hurt herself, she'll hurt you too."
