The Demon Lords

Chapter 1042: Chapter 248: The Cuckoo in the Magpie’s Nest (Part 3)

Take Zhao Cheng for example,

it was just because he glanced at Zheng Fan an extra time while drinking lamb soup,

now he’s actually become Eunuch Zhao.

What kind of mental journey did Eunuch Zhao go through, whether it was corruption, resentment, joy, remorse, or a strong desire for power, Lord Zheng didn’t have the time to care or analyze;

Lord Zheng only knew that the guy in front of him,

recognized him!

This is really awkward.

If he knows him,

then it means that what he’s doing here,

will definitely be known by the princess.

Because this eunuch has no reason to hide this from the princess.

The princess will definitely know he’s here;

if she knows he’s here, yet he hasn’t thought of going in to see her, there’s a high probability the princess will be very angry.

No matter what the princess is thinking, whether she has changed her mind, or is willing to follow the pre-set script, yes, even if she hasn’t given the order to annihilate the Fan Family, who knows what she really wants?

But there’s one thing that’s very likely: I’m not appealing?

No matter what opinion I hold, whether I’m willing to give you a chance, whether I really want to leave with you,

you actually dare think I’m not appealing?

Hmm, this is actually the same for both men and women, after all, everyone has possessiveness and a self-satisfied perception inherent in them.

Lord Zheng used to lead troops and liked unconventional strategies, though the tactics were devised by Liang Cheng, the plans and routes were personally decided by Lord Zheng, his mind always worked well in critical moments.

Meet, must meet!

This Eunuch Zhao in front of him can’t be killed now, after all, it’s in public view;

so the princess will definitely know he’s in the royal retreat!

The transition of environments led to an inversion of identity and status,

avoiding meeting lowers favorability;

actively meeting her, and acting like "I’m just here to see you, I just miss you, I’m willing to take the risk to meet you," putting on an overbearing demeanor, will definitely boost favorability.

After all, as long as a sycophant does well, they can also increase favorability.

Of course, Lord Zheng is no longer doing this to be a sycophant, but for his own life.

If he doesn’t go to see the princess, when Zhao Cheng discovered him, Zheng Fan could wave his hand, Zhao Cheng probably wouldn’t say anything, he would get out of the carriage, back off, but surely go to tell the princess.

So,

Lord Zheng came.

...

The princess’s expression continued to change subtly;

In fact, Zheng Fan could sense the woman sitting on his lap

she seemed to be weighing, seemed to be hesitating;

Lord Zheng never thought of himself as Pan An reborn, women seeing him would be attracted and unable to move.

In fact, since awakening in this world, besides Siniang being special towards him, other women who wanted to get close to him, like Ke and the others, weren’t doing it for his looks and personality, purely because of his wealth and status.

Eunuch Zhao stood there, eyes closed, hoping he was like a mass of air, I don’t exist I don’t exist I don’t exist.

The scene in front of him was really too eye-catching.

And at this moment,

came a heralding voice from outside,

since Eunuch Zhao was inside, another young eunuch came to announce:

"Princess, General Huwei requests to see you."

Though privately, the eunuchs and maidservants serving the princess in the inner and outer court had already affectionately called him the consort early on, formally, especially in front of the princess, they dared not overstep.

Qu Peiluo has not yet inherited his father’s Zhuguai title, now he’s the Huwei General conferred by the regent, nominally managing the Qu Clan’s Blue Luan Army.

Zheng Fan clearly sensed,

upon hearing Qu Peiluo was coming to see her,

the woman sitting on his lap

And Eunuch Zhao was already somewhat panicked, what kind of situation is this, the princess here with a wild man, and now the consort comes knocking!

But Zheng Fan seemed calm and serene,

before the princess could speak,

he turned his head to look at Eunuch Zhao,

pointed to the outside door,

and said:

"Tell him to scram."
