Chapter 228 Yunwei is still a virgin

Empress Dowager Feng choked for a moment, but quickly said, "After all, Yu Shu has made great sacrifices for the court. Over the years, she has taken great risks to send back so many secrets of the Yue Kingdom to our Wei Kingdom. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. As the Princess of Rong'an County, do you not have any tolerance at all?"
Besides, her visit to your residence is only temporary; she will naturally leave once things have calmed down.

"Since Your Majesty is so magnanimous, wouldn't it be better to keep Miss Yu in the palace? Why send her here? Besides, given the contributions Yu Shu has made to the court, it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to become a concubine."

For the sake of this meritorious official, why doesn't the Empress Dowager ask the Emperor to bring her into the harem?
Anyway, Miss Yu had been a concubine before, so she was more adept than others at serving the Emperor.

Upon hearing this, both Empress Dowager Feng and Yu Shu's expressions changed drastically.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the Emperor take her as a concubine? She is no longer pure..." In her anger, Empress Dowager Feng blurted out.

Yu Shu's already unpleasant complexion turned ashen.

She clenched her fingers tightly to restrain herself from slapping Empress Dowager Feng.

That old bitch, what kind of pure and innocent woman is she? How dare she talk about her like that?

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Seeing Yu Shu's unpleasant expression, Yun Wei's lips curled slightly. "Yes, Miss Yu is no longer pure, but Your Majesty, Miss Yu has made great sacrifices for the court. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. This is what you said earlier. Even if Miss Yu is no longer pure, you should not discriminate against her. How disheartening is this? Who will be willing to make sacrifices for the court in the future?"

Hearing them call her unclean, Yu Shu was furious. Her face turned red and then pale, and she clenched her fists tightly.

Seeing her pale face, Empress Dowager Feng realized she had misspoke and tried to make amends, saying, "I didn't mean to look down on you, it's just that you and the Emperor are too far apart in age, it's not appropriate."

"As far as I know, Miss Yu is only eighteen this year, just three years older than the Emperor. It wouldn't be inappropriate. Besides, Miss Yu is exceptionally beautiful, and few can match her. It would be a waste for her to be a concubine," Yun Wei said slowly.

Empress Dowager Feng paused, a dark look flashing across her eyes.

That Yun family member is really annoying.

She suppressed her anger and smiled, "Actually, Yu Shu is more suitable for the Regent than the Emperor. Why don't we let Yu Shu enter the Regent's mansion and serve you and the Regent? Besides, you and Yu Shu are about the same age, so you'll definitely have more in common."

"Is this the Empress Dowager's real purpose in forcing Miss Yu onto me?" Yunwei looked at her with a leisurely air. "After going through such a long and complicated process, the Empress Dowager has really gone to great lengths."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager frowned and looked at Empress Dowager Feng, "You want Yu Shu to enter the Regent's Palace?"

Empress Dowager Feng said sullenly, "I only pity Yu Shu for making such a great sacrifice for the court and wanted to find her a good home."

"The harem is also a good place to settle down. Why don't you let your son take her as a concubine?" the Empress Dowager said unhappily.

A dark glint flashed in Empress Dowager Feng's eyes. "I already said that Yu Shu and the Emperor are not the right age."

"It's not that her age is unsuitable; you're disgusted by the fact that she served Emperor Zhaoxing of the Yue Kingdom, and that her body is no longer pure," the Empress Dowager sneered, directly exposing her flaws.

Empress Dowager Feng was speechless with embarrassment, and indeed, that was the case.

It's one thing that Yu Shu is a few years older than the Emperor, but she had already lost her virginity to Emperor Zhaoxing of Yue Kingdom and served that old emperor for so many years. Just thinking about it makes her feel disgusted. How could she let such a filthy woman serve her son?

At this moment, Yu Shu's face turned ashen, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something for herself, but she didn't know what to say.

It is a fact that she served Emperor Zhaoxing.

"If you don't even allow your son to take a woman like Yu Shu, then I naturally feel sorry for my son too. How could my son possibly want such a woman?" The Empress Dowager then added.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shu swayed and almost fell to the ground, a flash of resentment crossing her eyes.

A woman like her...

What's wrong with a woman like her?
All the sacrifices she made were for the sake of the State of Wei. Yet now, these two most esteemed women of Wei show no regard for her dignity, wantonly humiliating her and trampling on her honor.

Empress Dowager Feng couldn't help but glance at Yun Wei and said, "Your Majesty, you are mistaken. The Emperor and the Regent are different. The Emperor is still young and has never had a divorced woman by his side. But the Regent is different. Since he can accept Yun Wei, he probably won't care about Yu Shu's past."

Besides, Yu Shu only wanted a place to stay; being a concubine would suffice.

She practically said that Yunwei was already impure.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shu instantly calmed down.

Yes, she did serve Emperor Zhaoxing, but Yun Wei was not entirely innocent either.

She was married before, and was a married woman for three years.

How much more noble can she be than her?
Thinking it over, she knelt down before the Empress Dowager. "Yu Shu has no other desires. She only wants a place to live for the rest of her life. I hope the Empress Dowager will grant her wish and allow Yu Shu to serve the Regent and Princess Rong'an."

"You dare to make such a request to me because you think that Weiwei is impure, just like you?" The Empress Dowager was furious.

Yu Shu bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I only admire the Regent and hope to spend the rest of my life by his side and serve him wholeheartedly."

"Serving him? You think you're worthy?" The Empress Dowager was furious. "My son is not someone a withered woman like you can lay a finger on! Who gave you the audacity?"

Yu Shu's face turned deathly pale in an instant. "Yu Shu knows that she is of lowly status and is not worthy of the Regent, so she dares not ask for anything else. She only asks to stay by his side as a concubine."

"Get out!" The Empress Dowager's face turned extremely ugly.

Yu Shu gritted her teeth, "Both of us are already impure, Yu Shu doesn't understand why the Empress Dowager can think so highly of Princess Rong'an?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Feng immediately looked at the Grand Empress Dowager.

She was actually very curious too.

Since the Empress Dowager looked down on Yu Shu, a woman who had lost her virginity, why did she favor Yun Wei, who had also lost her virginity, and allow Rong Zhen to marry her as his principal wife?

Yun Wei pursed her lips and remained silent, vaguely guessing what was going on in her mind.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager said the next moment, "Weiwei is different from you. Although she was married, three years ago, on the night of her wedding, her husband went to the border. They did not consummate their marriage."

Yun Wei suddenly looked up at her.

Did the Empress Dowager investigate her?
Even Rong Zhen hadn't investigated this matter, but the Empress Dowager had.

No wonder the Empress Dowager despised Yu Shu, a woman who had lost her virginity, but she alone did not despise her.

It turns out that the Empress Dowager had known all along that she had never consummated her marriage with Li Yaoting.

Empress Dowager Feng was startled.

Yu Shu was also stunned.

So, is Yunwei still virgin?
Suddenly, Yu Shu's face flushed red.

She originally thought that Yunwei, like her, had already been defiled by other men. Therefore, she assumed that even if she had lost her virginity, she could still gain Rong Zhen's favor and naturally wanted to become his woman.

But it turns out that Yunwei was still a virgin?
After the initial shock, Empress Dowager Feng felt a complex mix of emotions. She had initially thought that Rong Zhen preferred women who had been deflowered...

She composed herself and looked at Yun Wei with a serious expression. "Is what the Empress Dowager said true?"
