Zhao Rao had not had many setbacks in her life, except for the pain of losing her mother when she was five. Because she was the Eldest Princess and the only legitimate daughter, no one dared to slight her in the palace. In the beginning, someone deliberately made things difficult for her in order to curry favor with Concubine De. She directly brought that person to Concubine De and beat him to death. From then on, no one dared to bully her.
But now, she was being bullied by this man she called uncle.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell Imperial Father?" Zhao Rao's entire body stiffened. She had wanted to rope Cheng Zheng in to help her, but she had never thought that he would actually … She had always treated him as an uncle.
Cheng Zheng smiled faintly and sat up with her in his arms, "If you wanted to tell His Majesty, you would have told him two days ago. Rong'er, it's not like you don't have any feelings for me."
"Even if there are feelings, it is for you as an uncle." Zhao Rao said through gritted teeth. She felt uncomfortable being held in his arms like this, especially when she smelled the warm masculine scent on his body. Her face unconsciously turned even redder.
"Really?" Cheng Zheng smiled faintly and pressed the back of her head with one hand. He lowered his head and kissed her lips, giving her a deep and long kiss. No matter how she struggled, he locked her in his arms and did not let go. He even rolled onto the bed and pressed his entire body on top of her. If it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself if he continued, he would not have stopped. He panted and whispered in her ear, "Would Uncle kiss you like this?"
Zhao Rao was so angry that her eyes reddened, but she stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.
Cheng Zheng curled his lips into a smile and held her in his arms, coaxing softly, "From today onwards, don't treat me as an uncle. You will get used to it."
"Imperial Father will kill you if he knows. He will definitely kill you." Zhao Rao said hatefully. She was disgusted that Cheng Zheng would do this, but she was also a little afraid that she actually did not want to tell this matter to Zhao Yong.
She was afraid that Zhao Yong would really kill him if he knew.
"Isn't it better if His Majesty knows? As long as I disappear from the Cheng family's genealogy, I will no longer be your uncle. Neither the man nor the woman is married, why would His Majesty be angry?" Cheng Zheng asked with a smile.
"You are simply twisting words and forcing logic." Zhao Rao said angrily, "You are simply twisting words and forcing logic." Aren't you afraid that he will be sad? "
"Jin 'er, you think too much and worry too much." Cheng Zheng said indifferently. From his tone, it was clear that he did not care much about what Great-grandfather Cheng thought.
Zhao Rao said coldly, "If it were any other man, I definitely wouldn't think too much, and I wouldn't worry too much."
"Are you going to make me unhappy again?" Cheng Zheng asked as he tapped on her lips.
"You can't always treat me like this, you … you're my uncle, I can't accept it." Zhao Rao was frightened by him, and even her voice was choked with sobs. She was such a strong person, but she was still frightened by Cheng Zheng these past two days.
The smile in Cheng Zheng's eyes grew wider. He kissed her cheek. "Be good. I won't force you anymore. When you accept me, I'll let you stay by my side."
Zhao Huang looked at him suspiciously. "You won't force me?"
"You have to get used to not treating me like an uncle anymore," Cheng Zheng said in a low voice.
"Okay, but before I accept and get used to it, you can't do such things to me again." Zhao Rao immediately said coldly. She wanted Cheng Zheng to promise her that he would not force her anymore.
Cheng Zheng raised his eyebrows. "Okay."
Zhao Rao looked down at his hands around her waist. "Then let go of me first."
"You don't look well just now. Did you come from the emperor's place?" Although Cheng Zheng wanted to hold her in his arms, he let go of her. He really did not want to make her too afraid. Thinking of her complexion when she first came back, he was worried that she might have heard something from the emperor.
Speaking of Zhao Yong, Zhao Rao recalled something that she had forgotten. Her face was heavy. She looked at Cheng Zheng faintly. "Did you already know that Lu Wushuang was given to Lu Yaoyao by father?"
Cheng Zheng did not nod or deny it. "Why do you ask?"
"He's sick, isn't he?" Zhao Huang lowered her head and asked softly.
"Did the emperor tell you, or did you guess it yourself?" So it was because of this that her complexion was not good. This little girl said that she hated Zhao Yong, but she was actually very concerned about him.
Zhao Rao escaped from his arms and found the farthest place to stand. Her skin was very white, which made her eyes even redder. She looked like a frightened rabbit. Her whole person was immersed in sorrow.
"Is there a need to guess? Since Lu Yaoyao doesn't have anything on him, he must have something to ask of Lu Yaoyao. Besides looking for Lu Yaoyao to treat his illness, what else could it be? " Zhao Rao said in a low voice. "When I went to see father, the room was filled with the smell of medicine. Valley Master Duanmu has been by his side for so long, but he still had to look for Lu Yaoyao. It can be seen that his illness is already …"
She couldn't go on, and her eyes gazed outside.
Cheng Zheng stood up and slowly walked in front of Zhao Rao. He reached out and wiped away the tears on her cheeks. "The emperor's illness is indeed difficult to cure, but since he came to look for Lu Yaoyao, it proves that Lu Yaoyao has a way to cure his illness."
"I don't care whether his illness can be cured or not." Zhao Rao said coldly.
Stubborn again! She was obviously very concerned about Zhao Yong. "Then why are you crying?"
Zhao Rao wiped away the tears on her face. "I'm not crying. I'm not crying because of him."
Why would she care about Zhao Yong's life? If not for him, her mother would not have died. She hated him and wanted him to die sooner.
"Okay, it's not because of him." Cheng Zheng said with a smile.
"You already knew, didn't you?" Zhao Rao glared at him. She knew that Zhao Yong was sick and felt very sad, but she did not want to admit that she still cared about him.
Cheng Zheng said, "I only found out a few days ago. The emperor is most worried about you."
"Why would he be worried about me?" Zhao Rao sneered. "He only cares about Concubine De's two children. I am nothing in his heart."
"Don't think of him that way." Cheng Zheng's voice was low and gentle. "He has so many children, but only you are different in his heart. You should feel it. I know that you still care about the late Empress. Let me investigate, okay?"
Zhao Rao glanced at him. "Don't you hate my mother?"
"Your mother doesn't like me either." Cheng Zheng said lightly. The late Empress had done many things to him that made him bitterly disappointed, but he did not need to say it out loud. She had already given him the best compensation for what she owed him.
Even if it was for Zhao Rao, he would let go of all the grudges in the past.
"Then why are you still helping me?" Zhao Rao frowned.
Cheng Zheng laughed. "Because it's because of you."
Zhao Rao pursed her lips. She blushed and turned her head away from him.
