Chapter 614 - That bastard is here? (1/2)

Wen Xu was resting in her room weakly. Since her hand was injured, Grandmother Shuren allowed her to go back to the orchid pavilion to take some rest.

Truthfully, Shuren was fed up seeing Wen Xu whimpering annoyingly over a small cut. In the end, she sent her back to the orchid pavilion, but she was not allowed to use any luxurious items.

She can use her bed and other necessary items, but she was exempted from wearing gold jewelry and heavy beautiful dresses until her three months punishment completes.

However, Wen Xu was relieved that she was finally allowed to come back to the orchid pavilion, otherwise, she was supposed to stay with Shuren, and living with her is nothing less than a hell.

She was weakly laying on her bed when a maid sneakily entered the pavilion.

” Empress Dowager.”

Wen Xu was startled and annoyed at the same time. However, when she saw the maid's face, she pursed her lips and asked, ” What are you doing here?”

The maid pursed her lips and replied, ” Empress Dowager, I heard a few maid's conversations. Young Master Wen Ru has arrived at the palace…”

” Wen Ru has come back to the palace? Really?” Wen Xu interrupted the maid's words as her eyes brightened hearing this news.

When Wen Ru left the palace to visit his parents, Wen Xu was only suspended but it was after he left that she was punished to live in the abandoned palace until the completion of three months.

A light of hope lit up in her heart as she thought that Wen Ru might help her to convince Ji Cheng and end or reduce her punishment.

The maid pursed her lips and rubbed her palms urgently.

” Yes, Young Master Wen Ru has come but he did not come alone this time. Someone else also came with him as well. ”

Wen Xu frowned when she heard her words.

” Someone else? Who?”

The maid looked around to see if other maids are also here. She has always worked as Wen Xu's eyes and ears in the palace and always informed her about anything that goes on in the palace.

Even though Wen Xu is suspended now, she knows that things will come back to normal once her punishment period is over.

” It's Prince Ji Zhelan. Young Master Wen Ru brought prince Zhelan to the palace.”

Wen Xu's expressions darkened when she heard this. She clenched her fists tightly as she said in a cold voice, ” What? Zhelan? That bastard Zhelan is here?”

The maid nodded as she stared at Wen Xu whose expression had turned dark. [ Read this novel on W e b n o v e l . c o m ( remove spaces). If you are reading this elsewhere, then this novel is pirated. Support the original author, not the thieves, and get the latest updates. Regards Kamlyn]

She has lived in the palace for years now and has always supported Wen Xu and informed everything going into the palace.

She has seen how much Wen Xu hates her husband's concubines and their children.

Other concubines are not that important since their children are not capable enough to fight for the throne.

However, Ji Zhelan's mother is different. She was a concubine, but she was taken in after winning over the Zhi empire in the war. When she came to the palace, her beauty and youthfulness made Wen Xu uncomfortable and jealous.

Despite being a concubine, Ji Cheng's father loved her and this made Wen Xu uncomfortable. Not only that, after a few months of Ji Cheng's birth, she also gave birth to a son, Ji Zhelan.

Ji Cheng and him not only have a few months difference between them, but Ji Zhelan is the most capable among other concubine's children.
