The Servant Consort Zhen wasn't someone who hadn't met a man that moved her heart; it's just that she simply didn't like men.
The thought of having to consummate a marriage with a man after leaving the palace made the Servant Consort Zhen rather die within the palace walls.
So when the Emperor proposed a deal to her, she agreed without hesitation, even thinking of overachieving the task the Emperor assigned her. Even if she were to die in the palace, it didn't matter, as long as the Emperor rewarded her family kindly for her service. As for the wealth she obtained, she planned to send half to her family and leave the other half to Ah Zhu.
Thus, the dramatic scene at Jianzhang Palace unfolded today.
"It seems you might have been pampered dumb, Little Mistress. How can you still smile?"
Ah Zhu reprimanded her with concern.
"It doesn't hurt. The Emperor knows the Empress is making things difficult for me and will surely pity me."
