Chapter 96 Royal Secrets
The queen didn't panic at all.

Concubine Ru is pregnant, so she must be cautious and dare not show off. This is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.

In the past few years, she had established many confidants inside and outside the palace. Relying on these confidants, she devised a plan that would bring shame to the royal family.

Emperor Sheng Yuan got drunk and raped his niece, Princess Anyang.

To make matters worse, Princess Anyang became pregnant as a result.

In fact, the queen knew that Princess Anyang and her son Yin Liu were in love, and she always acted like a loving mother, as if Anyang was already her favorite concubine.

Not so.

How could she let her child marry an orphan girl who only had the title of princess?

Princess Anyang's father was useless and relied entirely on the former eldest princess to make a living. If his father had been helpful, Anyang wouldn't have come to the capital from his fiefdom to seek refuge.

After this incident, Princess Anyang suffered a nervous breakdown and almost committed suicide by hanging herself from the rafter, but she was saved.

The Queen Mother was even more stimulated by this incident and became seriously ill. The Queen took the opportunity to serve in front of her, and often brought her son Yin Liu to show her face, which won her a lot of favor.

In fact, there are no other concubines who are also trying to win over the Queen Mother, but none of them are as pretentious and tolerant as the Queen.

The Queen Mother is getting old, and seeing that there is no one in charge of the harem, she has been secretly choosing.

She not only comforted Anyang who had a mental breakdown, but also relieved the emperor who blamed himself for this. She did a lot of things. In addition, she was an insider of the scandal, so the Queen Mother naturally focused on her.

But Emperor Sheng Yuan was unwilling.

When he was in his prime, he loved Concubine Ru deeply and felt that he could control everything. He promoted Concubine Ru into a noble concubine regardless of the obstacles, and was only one step away from the phoenix position.

Once the child is a prince, Emperor Shengyuan will immediately become a queen as soon as the child is born.

The queen was extremely jealous. She had been planning for many years but failed to win the favor of Emperor Shengyuan. The position she dreamed of was so easy to get in the eyes of others.

Concubine Ru's belly was getting bigger day by day, and everyone was watching quietly to see whether there was a boy or a girl in her belly.At this time, several prefectures and counties suffered from drought. In order to appease the resentful people, the emperor had to go north to provide relief in person.

The queen felt that God was helping her.

Even though Emperor Shengyuan left many people in the palace for Concubine Ru, he still couldn't withstand the push and pull of everyone in the harem.

Concubine Ru was already weak and relied on Emperor Shengyuan's favor to survive. Now that Emperor Shengyuan was gone, she was naturally unable to support herself in the palace.

The day she gave birth happened to be the last day that Emperor Sheng Yuan returned to Beijing, but she died of dystocia and the fetus also died of suffocation in her belly.

Concubine Ru had just died when Emperor Sheng Yuan rushed back, and she didn't even see her last face.

The emperor was so distraught that he buried Concubine Ru in the imperial mausoleum despite his objections. No one even allowed others to see Concubine Ru's body.

The queen only thought it was ridiculous.

The love of an emperor is so ridiculous.

The Queen Mother died of illness, and the only arrangement before her death was to become a queen.

After all these years of serving and currying favor, the Queen finally got her wish.

But the more reason is that Concubine Li was a military commander and was afraid of being dominated by her relatives, while the other concubines were either too young and had no prince to accompany them, or the power behind them was too weak.

The position of queen has always fallen on her head.

Emperor Sheng Yuan did not refuse this time.

He is not young anymore, and the court is urging him to leave piles of papers one after another. In the past, he could still press down for Concubine Ru, but now that Concubine Ru is dead, it doesn't matter who it is.
