Chapter 159.3 – In Love With
Before Fang Jun Ping was taken away, Wei Shun Qing’s men once told him that strangers had been coming in and out of the South District in the past two months. It seemed like those people were looking for something. The most eye-catching one of the bunch was Gong Yun, the deputy commander of the imperial bodyguards, who originally had no interest in the South District. But two months ago, he suddenly led a large group of subordinates and began to strengthen patrols in the South District.
Although it was not good to make assumptions without justification, Wei Shun Qing knew that they must be looking for someone. It couldn’t be such a coincidence, so he became suspicious.
Now that Fang Jun Ping has been taken away, it was very likely that she has fallen into their hands.
Fang Jun Ping was not a reliable person. She was craven and cowardly, and only interested in saving her own neck. If the other party tortured her to extract a confession, there was no guarantee that she would not sell them out. Fortunately, she did not know many secrets. There were a lot of things that Wei Shun Qing was afraid of her leaking, so he did not let her know in the first place.

Thinking of this, Wei Shun Qing, who originally wanted to go to Emperor Chong Ming, changed his route and went to Zhaozi Palace.
He did not intend to hide this matter from Consort Yan. He was not certain that he could rescue Fang Jun Ping, so the next time they see her, she might give them a fatal blow. In order to prevent Consort Yan from ruining their performance, she needed to be mentally prepared, and therefore he had to tell her about this.
At Zhaozi Palace
Spring was ending, summer was approaching, and the weather was starting to get hotter.
Consort Yan, who was already two and a half months pregnant, was wearing a gauze dress, and her slightly bulging belly was vaguely visible. She was lying lazily on a wicker chair and holding a sour plum in one hand. Plums that were too sour for other people was like a delicacy to her.

These plums were all top-quality plums that Emperor Chong Ming had given her and each one was carefully selected. Even the Imperial Noble Consort could only have these plums a few times, but Consort Yan could eat them every day.
For some reasons, Emperor Chong Ming still valued her very much after she became pregnant. Although he took the fetus into consideration and spent the nights with other concubines during her pregnancy, he still came to see her every day. Even if he only stayed for less than two hours, it still made her very proud of herself.
“Consort, the state preceptor is here.”
The palace maid’s voice came from the outer hall.
Consort Yan, who was a little absent-minded at first, suddenly became energetic. One good thing about Emperor’s Chong Ming’s shorter stay in Zhaozi Palace was that she got to spend more time with the state preceptor.
Consort Yan had never tried the taste of love. Although she forced herself to like Emperor Chong Ming, she felt sick every time she faced Emperor Chong Ming’s ugly face full of lust and desire.

Later, when she started a relationship with Wei Shun Qing, she gradually discovered that the state preceptor was actually pretty good-looking. Although his facial features were not handsome, his outline was firm and very masculine. Her heart involuntarily turned towards him, so now the thing she looked forward to the most every day was the state preceptor’s arrival.
Even is she couldn’t do the deed with him because of her pregnancy, it was still satisfying as long as she could look at him.
Consort Yan knew that this kind of relationship was dangerous, because she and Wei Shun Qing were just cooperating. During the time they worked together, she knew to some extent what kind of person he was. The An Qiao E of today was different from the her of before. Influenced by the corrupting influence of the imperial palace, she no longer had the same naive thoughts as before.
Now, her only hope was to be with her beloved. That was enough for her.
As soon as Wei Shun Qing came in, he saw Consort Yan exposing a shy expression. Her thoughts seemed to be wandering. A hint of craftiness flashed through her eyes.
