章 170: Loyal Maid Who Died Because of Beauty (40) (End)

Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat, her hair stood on end, and her head subconsciously looked at Lu Heng in a panic as she tried to speak out as normally as she usually does: "I… I do not quite understand what Your Majesty's words had meant."

Lu Heng stretched out a hand to gently stroke Chu Ning's face, and his hand stroked the woman's neck. But things changed when he suddenly grabbed the woman's neck. Hard.

Chu Ning's face turned red, and she felt choked. Literally.

"This means that I will never make your child a crown prince in this life," Lu Heng said with a sneer. While Chu Ning was in a daze, he leaned his head closer to her ear and whispered, "Do not worry. I will let you stay in the empress position that you value so much. Just like the relationship between my imperial father and his dead empress back then."

Just like Lu Heng's imperial father and Yi Lin's aunt.

After saying that, Lu Heng ignored Chu Ning's begging for mercy, got up, and left.
