then, before Zheng Xiansu, Wang Yisu, and Guo Ting arrived, she would be the highest-ranked woman in Zhao Yu’s harem, gaining significant advantage and opportunity—she couldn’t let a single urination ruin such a vital opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Zhang Chun clenched her legs, bowed gracefully to Zhao Yu, and spoke with alluring charm: “Your servant, Lady Zhang, welcomes Your Majesty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhang Chun ready, Zhao Yu stepped forward, lifted her chin, and studied carefully the woman he had seen countless times on his phone in his past life…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Zhao Yu had once considered that if Zhang Chun and the others bore children now, especially in this era, it might well be like walking through the gates of hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he thought: if the very act of crossing over could happen to all six of them, he was clearly the male lead of the story, and the five women must be the heroines—how could they possibly fail at childbirth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, unless he slept with all five women and fully possessed them, Zhao Yu could never feel at ease with women who also possessed the power to alter history, nor could he properly control these variables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he had already taken Ma Xiao Jiao; now to refuse the other four would be overly sentimental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crucially, if Zhang Chun resisted or avoided him like Li Lin and Yuan Qing Cheng, that would be one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Yu was emperor—he had no shortage of women, and countless others were eager to beg him to sleep with them; he had no need to force himself on anyone and spoil the mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he did, he might even provoke resentment and make them hate him, which would be counterproductive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if Zhang Chun were like Li Lin and Yuan Qing Cheng, Zhao Yu had no reason to rush—especially since they were already under his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was, Zhang Chun was now begging him to take her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhao Yu refused her now, wouldn’t that be a grave disrespect to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Put another way, if Zhao Yu still refused her and she turned from love to hatred, wouldn’t he be nothing but a fool?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No question—he must give her this chance, to fulfill her dream, to repay her, and to fully claim this useful woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once decided, Zhao Yu wasted no time and immediately chose Zhang Chun to serve him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhao Yu looked down at Zhang Chun, his deep eyes seeming to hold boundless intensity and heat, making her heart race like a startled deer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chun’s cheeks flushed involuntarily; she gripped her robe tightly, nervous yet expectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Zhang Chun knew this was foreplay; she would soon become a true woman, no longer just a mouthy warrior of empty boasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhang Chun was nervous, shy, and strangely exhilarated—as if she were about to step into an entirely new world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhao Yu gently lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze—his eyes holding both dominance and tenderness—Zhang Chun involuntarily sank into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this was only Zhang Chun’s perception; to Zhao Yu, she was utterly tense—her body stiff and trembling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu thought: ‘I haven’t even touched you yet, and you’re this nervous? Is this going to work?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu confirmed with her: “Are you truly ready?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chun felt she had prepared as thoroughly as humanly possible, so she gave Zhao Yu a barely perceptible nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhao Yu said nothing further; he scooped her up in both arms and carried her straight to the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, he laid her down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Zhao Yu was about to proceed further, he suddenly felt warmth below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down and immediately realized what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, Zhang Chun had lost control completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Zhao Yu’s imperial bed became a river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This instantly doused all his desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting off the bed, Zhao Yu saw Zhang Chun, so ashamed she wanted to crawl into a crack in the floor, her face pale white, caught in a state of utter distress!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Zhang Chun felt she had exposed her most ugly side to Zhao Yu and deeply offended him; she feared he would dislike her, punish her, or never grant her another chance to serve him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, this was the moment Zhang Chun felt most tense, most helpless, most lost and bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhao Yu did not reach out to her now, she might become just another laughingstock like An Lingrong—or even turn dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu said nothing; without caring that she was soiled, he bent down and lifted Zhang Chun out of the puddle in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nervous, are you? It doesn’t matter. If you’re not ready, I’ll wait until you are. There’s no rush—we have all the time in the world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu’s words sounded to Zhang Chun like celestial music.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chun could no longer hold back; she burst into tears and collapsed into Zhao Yu’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu, holding her, gently led her to the bathing chamber, soothing her with soft words, telling her not to worry, that he would give her another chance when she was ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Zhao Yu placed Zhang Chun in the bathtub and summoned two palace maids to bathe her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chun wanted to ask Zhao Yu for another chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after such an embarrassing incident, her already overwhelming nervousness intensified—how could she possibly invite him to do such a humiliating thing now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu comforted her: “It’s fine. I look forward to your next time serving me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhao Yu left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhang Chun finally washed clean, changed into a new battle robe, and mentally prepared herself to return to Zhao Yu, she found him already splashing in the bath with two palace maids who had seized the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Chun wanted to cry but had no tears left—her sorrow flowed backward like a river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It’s not Zhao Yu’s fault—I’m just not strong enough.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Zhao Yu has already been kind enough to me…’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1277,"2026-06-20T15:06:47.302Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","10bb99fcf2b0f36aaceed2571b727e11a218105128e0418b9e72d3c96c614cf4","i-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-chapter-80","i-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-chapter-78",348,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-cover.jpg"]
