TEWRAWTEC CH 27
by jj.ssasipscoffeeChapter 27: Surrogate “Father”
Since he was no longer allowed to take contraception pills, Yun Mingzhuo spent his days in constant fear, worried he might accidentally end up pregnant.
He held his stomach and silently prayed, Please, hold strong! Don’t you dare get pregnant! I’m begging you!
Although Yun Mingzhuo wanted to escape the palace, the timing wasn’t right yet. He had to endure a little longer.
Murong Zichen had now become a “regular guest” at Qingxiang Palace — a fact well-known throughout the court. And Yun Mingzhuo had become one of the most talked-about figures in the imperial palace.
Originally, Murong Zichen had no interest in incomplete men. But Yun Mingzhuo had become an exception.
“That Yun guy’s not simple! Even Yansheng’s limelight has been stolen by him.”
Before, Qin Yansheng was Murong Zichen’s most beloved — frequently invited to his bedchamber. But now, the Emperor clearly favored Yun Mingzhuo.
The clueless onlookers all envied Yun Mingzhuo’s so-called “good fortune,” unaware that he was merely being used as a surrogate “father.”
In truth, Yun Mingzhuo felt incredibly wronged. The other courtiers hated him, the scumbag emperor was forcing him… sigh, his life was a complete mess.
Murong Zichen!
It was the first time Yun Mingzhuo felt such deep hatred toward someone.
“Consort, when can we leave? His Majesty is being far too cruel!” Even the usually easy-going Mo Hua could no longer stay silent.
He had had enough! Even if Yun Mingzhuo could endure it, Mo Hua was nearing his breaking point. What right did Murong Zichen have to trample all over his master like this?
Yun Mingzhuo took a sip of tea and calmly replied, “Soon. Just a little longer.”
Mo Hua grew anxious. “Consort, we can’t wait any longer!”
If Yun Mingzhuo really got pregnant, he wouldn’t just face the danger of dying in childbirth. Worse still — even if both he and the child survived — Murong Zichen would never allow the child to acknowledge Yun Mingzhuo as their parent. In the end, it would all be for nothing!
Yun Mingzhuo was just as anxious. But the palace was heavily guarded. Escaping with his own strength was impossible. So, for now, he had to wait for reinforcements.
He had already secretly sent someone to the Southern Kingdom to report the Grand Princess’s imprisonment. Yun Mingzhuo was confident someone would come to rescue her within a month. She had promised that if she escaped, she’d take him with her.
Perhaps because he wanted Yun Mingzhuo to bear a child, Murong Zichen’s attitude toward him had softened… at least compared to before. Of course, deep down, he still looked down on the little eunuch.
Murong Zichen had grown up in the royal family — proud and arrogant, always aloof. For him, just deigning to look Yun Mingzhuo’s way was already a form of great mercy.
Yun Mingzhuo naturally had no respect for Murong Zichen. But because of all the irredeemable idiocy the body’s original owner had committed in the past, no matter how much disgust Yun Mingzhuo showed, Murong Zichen always thought it was just a game of “playing hard to get.”
Sigh. Yun Mingzhuo was speechless.
He was clearly full of disgust, yet the whole world seemed to believe he was playing hard to get — that he was cunning and calculating, deliberately trying to capture Murong Zichen’s attention.
What the hell?!
Did they really think he had nothing better to do? He’d finally been given a second life — why would he risk it again?
Qingxiang Palace.
He had just finished yet another round of xxoo[1] with Murong Zichen.
Yun Mingzhuo had never imagined that one day he would feel so… numb to physical intimacy.
But then again, of course he would. They didn’t love each other — how could there possibly be any of that so-called earth-shattering pleasure?
“Why are you still dawdling there like a corpse? Come dress Us!” Murong Zichen shouted impatiently at Yun Mingzhuo, who was still lying on the bed like a lifeless body.
(To be continued…)
T/L: I feel so bad for Yun Mingzhou… </3 This scumbag hell of an Emperor, ISTG!! 💢 Can’t wait for the chasing arc to be blooded and merciless to the point he’s kneeling, puking blood, crying with tears and snot everywhere, and regretting every last thing he ever did. PLEASE make the chasing arc satisfying or I’m throwing hands.
