Chapter 1965: Can You Really Tolerate Other Women Sharing Your Husband?

Ning Shu sent Attendant Zhou some nouris.h.i.+ng foods and told her to take good care of her body when she awoke from her three-day coma.

After her bodys blood loss and oxygen deprivation her brain had suffered, her physical and mental states were unknown. When she woke up, she kept staring blankly at the top of the bed.

Ning Shu asked Qiu Ling to put the gifts down and intended to leave.

Your Majesty, arent you tired of this? Attendant Zhou turned her head to look at Ning Shu. You probably hate all the concubines with every fiber of your being, and must still pretend to be virtuous and tolerant. Can you really tolerate other women sharing your husband?

Ning Shu smiled slightly. What is it that Attendant Zhou really means to say? That the emperor hurt your heart?

Were less than nothing to him. We can easily be tossed aside. Attendant Zhous eyes were a bit red. All the harems women put together were worth less than one of Zhao Xus fingers.

That was the truth of the harem. The emperor was heartless and the concubines had to constantly attack each other. Even with the favored concubine system, she faced extreme difficulties.

Ning Shu wanted to roll her eyes. Tut, tut, tut. The man just wasnt as affectionate as she thought he would be, and here she was acting aggrieved when shed been treating others like fools not too long ago.

They werent sincere with one another. Their relations.h.i.+p was only an equivalent exchange.

Both carried out their own schemes, neither taking the other seriously.

All of the women in the harem belonged to the emperor. He simply hadnt gotten to the point where he insisted on having Attendant Zhou. If a concubine died, Zhao Xu definitely wouldnt care.

Those who couldnt obtain what they desired always longed after the un.o.btainable, while those who managed to obtain favor always became unbridled.

Yet Attendant Zhou was acting all pretentious because her heart had been hurt? Who was this act for?

We all depend on the emperor to survive. You need to take good care of your body and recover quickly, Ning Shu said lightly. The concubines were all va.s.sals of Zhao Xu and werent even his equals. They all had to refer to themselves as subjects in front of His Majesty, so what love was there to speak of?

Attendant Zhou sneered. This f.u.c.king world.

Ning Shu pressed her lips together. It didnt matter that the world was a f.u.c.king world, the only thing that did was whether one was strong enough to survive it.

Putting ones fate in the hands of others was stupid.

Another person being able to control your destiny as they pleased was utterly terrifying.

Attendant Zhous current resentment was nothing but anger at her own incompetence. Had she succeeded in rescuing His Majesty this time, she wouldnt be whining but would happily welcome a new round of his favor.

The favored concubine system turned Attendant Zhou into the perfect woman for Zhao Xu. She was talented, captivatingly beautiful, and narcissistic.

As for whether she truly loved Zhao Xuwho knew?

Seeing Attendant Zhou playing the victim made Ning Shu lose her appet.i.te.

Take care of your body. Ning Shu made to leave.

Your Majesty

Ning Shu turned back to look at Attendant Zhou, who asked, Your Majesty, did the emperor say anything about-?

The emperor has been busy interrogating the a.s.sa.s.sin and this empress hasnt seen him. Ning Shus expression was serious. What you have to do now is take care of your body.

Attendant Zhous face turned even grayer upon hearing Ning Shus words. Her expression was disheartened.

You failed the rescue task. The allotted punishment of a thousand cuts will now be executed, the mechanical voice of the favored concubine system sounded once more.

Attendant Zhous heart raced. Even if its a punishment, could it wait a while? Just until my injury heals. I really cant take it right now.
