I'm not willing to be a cannon fodder for the female supporting role anymore

"You...are fine. But I don't need it. I only have Hanyan. I came here today to tell you that I plan to promote Hanyan's position in the future. You can prepare a banquet for her."

After saying this angrily, Li Qiyun walked out without even looking back.

Yueying looked at the table of food silently. The rift in their relationship seemed to be much more obvious. She tasted a salty taste at the corner of her mouth. She reached out and touched it. It was tears.

"Xiao P, is my relationship really repaired?"

She didn't hear Xiao P's answer, but she didn't seem to need its answer. Yueying could feel that she was heartbroken.

She was not stupid and knew very well that Li Qiyun came to explain and apologize, for example, he was drunk and stayed at Liu Hanyan's place, or he was under pressure from the Queen Mother and preferred Liu Hanyan to her instead of favoring someone else.

If she had not been tempted by the emperor, what she should have done was to shed more tears and make Li Qiyun feel guilty, so as to pull him back. However, what did she do? She let her sadness and anger vent, pushing him further and further away.

The rumor that the queen was a sickly woman and would not live long spread gradually in the harem.

"It's really interesting. In all dynasties, I've only heard that the queen was in poor health, so the concubines were asked to pay their respects on the first and fifteenth day of the month. Now it's our queen's turn. When she was in good health, she was only allowed to pay her respects once a month. Now that she's in poor health, she's exempted from that."

"Isn't this good? Do you want to travel a long way to the East Court Hall every day to pay your respects?"

"Why not come every day? At least the emperor comes to the East Court Hall every day."

A concubine shook her handkerchief and joked.

"You are so ignorant. The emperor hasn't come for a long time. It's always that person recently."

"Maybe in two months she will be the Queen again."

"Your Majesty, is this two months for one person?"

"Don't say it, it's true."

Several concubines left the East Court Hall in twos and threes, each discussing what they had learned in the past few days.

"Princess Ling has seen the flower room in the Pepper Palace and she said it's even bigger than the one in the Empress's."

"Hush, keep your voice down. I've been there too. I heard that some special species from here will be moved there in a few days."

"So the Queen and the Emperor are having a quarrel again?"

A concubine was chatting with a look of gloating on her face, but was rebuked by the people around her.

"Why are you so happy? They also have something to quarrel about."

"I wonder how many times the emperor can tolerate her making trouble?"

"It's hard to say. People always grow old and lose their looks."

"Go away, go away, I told you to speak softly, I didn't hear anything."

"What are you afraid of? Isn't that why the Emperor took us into the harem? Can't we just talk casually?"

Qin Hanyan also came to the East Palace to pay her respects today, but she seldom appeared in the harem, and this time she just stood quietly aside. Some concubines did not notice that she was walking leisurely behind them.

Suddenly, someone among the concubines who were gossiping saw her and immediately bowed to her awkwardly.

"Concubine Qin."

Qin Hanyan pursed her lips slightly, nodded, her expression normal, and continued to walk back slowly with her maid.

She is a time-travel girl. She was eating melon at home and complaining about a tyrant literature that day when she traveled through time and space and found out that she was the savior of the tyrant.

She had only read a few chapters, and there was no follow-up plot, so she could only rely on herself to survive in the harem. However, the tyrant had only one favorite queen, and although there were more than a dozen concubines in the harem, there was no problem of competing for favor.

What satisfied her most was that this tyrant had no feelings for the original owner, and this body was still that of a virgin. Otherwise, she, who had just entered college and had never had a relationship, would be at a great loss.

When she traveled through time, the original owner was framed by the Queen Mother and had an affair with a guard, locked up in a dark room, and tortured to death. Although she was rescued by the Emperor after she came here, she never dared to let down her guard against the Queen Mother for a single day.

It is true that Qin Hanyan is a student, but she has watched a lot of palace fighting dramas. The Queen Mother recently proposed that she "expand branches and leaves" for the royal family. She also wanted to instigate her competitive spirit and let her compete with the Queen for favor. She said that she would cover for herself, but did she really treat her as the brainless little maid of the original owner?

Originally, she didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the emperor and empress, but the emperor had been staying in her bedroom for the past two months, so she had to live in a side hall. Qin Hanyan was quite depressed.

Especially since she had fallen in love with Prince Han recently, she didn't want the person she liked to have any misunderstandings.

Today, I wanted to meet the Queen under the pretext of paying respects, but she ignored everyone in the harem.

Just when the previous dynasty and the harem interpreted the cold war between the emperor and the empress as the empress falling out of favor, everyone in the harem received an imperial decree from the empress dowager, ordering the concubines to go to the imperial garden to appreciate the flowers. This time, she also specially sent the head nanny beside her to invite the empress.

After the last unpleasant incident, Yueying discovered a few days later that her collapsed exquisite umbrella was missing. She hadn’t seen Li Qiyun for three months since then, and she knew that the umbrella must have been taken away by that bastard.

Yueying was holding a grudge in her heart, so the more Li Qiyun went to other women, the more upset she became. She simply gave up the Linglong Umbrella, as she would never bow to him anyway.

"I'm afraid the Queen Mother will criticize you again today."

While Luyao was tying Yueying's hair, she analyzed and told her what she had heard outside.

"At worst, I'll just depose her. I don't want to manage this harem anyway."

"My queen, why are you doing this? The emperor only favors you and the one in the Pepper Palace, which is much better than the heads of many wealthy families in the folk."

Yes, the maids around Yueying always persuaded her with an envious tone, asking her to accept her fate. Even she herself reminded herself that it was just a task.

But as someone who doesn’t have long black hair, I often find it difficult to accept sharing my husband with others.

She just wanted to wait a little longer, not knowing whether to wait for Li Qiyun to change, or to wait for herself to get rid of the emotions that were affecting her.

Seeing that her master was silent again, Lu Yao also shut up and continued to comb her hair.

"Wear the black and gold one."

The concubines in the imperial garden were all dressed in bright and colorful clothes. Even the empress dowager wore a yellow dress. Only Yueying was dressed in black, looking extremely solemn.

But it just so happened that when Li Qiyun arrived, he saw from afar the villain who made him angry and missed him.

"Today's flower-viewing banquet is held for the concubines to show their talents to the emperor, and secondly, there is a major news announcement - two days ago, Concubine Qin was diagnosed to be one month pregnant."

The Queen Mother called Qin Hanyan to her side, looked at her belly with a smile, then turned to look at Yueying.

"This baby is the emperor's first son. If the eldest son is not the legitimate son, there will be many troubles in the future, so this child should be registered under the queen's name."

Li Qiyun didn't say anything, but just looked at Yueying who was sitting below the Queen Mother.

"Thank you, mother. I will treat this child as my own."

"Ding, the male protagonist's dark value is 65%."

Yueying felt a little numb after hearing the mechanical sound, but she still smiled indifferently, and there was no reluctance in her voice when she replied.

Was it because she wasn't doing a good enough job as a queen? She showed her love and generosity, so what kind of wife did the male protagonist in this world want?

The Queen Mother saw everything and smiled from the bottom of her heart. This person, I'm afraid, has no weaknesses.

Because the Queen Mother entrusted Qin Hanyan with this baby in front of everyone in the harem, Yueying had people go to check on her on time no matter how reluctant she was. She was still cautious, and anything sent to the Pepper Palace in her name would only be sent in after being checked by more than two imperial physicians to make sure there was no problem.

Probably because he wanted to take care of Qin Hanyan who was pregnant and unable to sleep with him, Li Qiyun would sleep in the East Palace from time to time, but he basically ignored Yueying.

The man always came late at night and left at dawn. There were a few times when she wanted to ease the relationship and took the initiative to say a few words, but the man only said one or two words in response and then turned his back to sleep.

The only reason why Yueying didn't use a knife to chop people is that, although the two people didn't communicate, the male protagonist's blackening value would drop a little from time to time.

Soon the dangerous first three months of pregnancy passed. Yueying had just felt relieved about Qin Hanyan's pregnancy when news came from the harem that Concubine Chen was pregnant.

Yueying thought it was outrageous. She had accepted Li Qiyun's request for Qin Hanyan to sleep with her for several months, and now there was another Concubine Chen...

Before she could digest her emotions, Li Qiyun came to the East Court Hall.

This was the first time he appeared in front of her during the day in nearly two months.

"Mrs. Chen is pregnant. Please make some arrangements to promote her to a higher position."

"Chenpin?"

Yueying didn't know how much he doted on this person. Before today, she had never even heard of such a person.

"Promote her to concubine rank first, and when she gives birth, you can upgrade her to the next rank."

Li Qiyun ate his lunch calmly. He glanced at Yueying secretly and found that the woman's hand holding the chopsticks was shaking.

"Ding, the male protagonist's dark value is 25%."

The blackening value dropped by another five points?

In fact, Yueying was still feeling dizzy and nauseous, and she even vomited at the dining table.

Li Qixuan did not care that he was angry with Yueying, and hurriedly called the imperial physician. After examination, it was found that there was nothing serious, just the accumulation of depressed energy, which affected the stomach and intestines.

"How do you take care of your master?"

Unable to get angry at Yueying, Li Qiyun took his anger out on the palace servants in the East Court Hall, punished them, and left angrily.

The next day, rumors spread in the palace that the empress had heard that another concubine in the harem was pregnant, and she had a big fight with the emperor. The emperor left in anger, and the empress was so angry that she beat all her palace maids with sticks.

The rumor about the queen being jealous of the concubine's pregnancy had been circulating for a few days, and then on a rainy night, the news came that the concubine in the Pepper Room had suddenly had a miscarriage. Yueying didn't care about her image, she quickly put on her clothes, put on a cloak, and hurried over with an umbrella.

Mingming had received the news and rushed to the Pepper Palace without any delay. But when he entered, he saw the empress dowager sitting in the main hall with a serious face.

"Queen, this is your legitimate son. You are so late to come when something goes wrong."

The emperor has not been in the palace these days. There is a severe drought in the southwest. People from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that the royal bloodline is needed to go to the Huguo Temple to pray for seven days. To show his sincerity, the emperor took the prince with him.

Yueying knew that she had no one to rely on at the moment and did not want to confront the Queen Mother head-on.

"Mother, Concubine Qin is blessed by heaven."

The Queen Mother hummed coldly, closed her eyes, and turned the Buddhist beads in her hand one by one.

Yueying was a little distracted watching this scene. She was only 30 years old. In modern times, many young women are still confused about their lives. It was not easy for her to look so calm and old.

"Empress Dowager, Queen Mother, something bad has happened. The Imperial Concubine has passed away."

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes, her gaze as sharp as a knife shot towards the moonlight. The hall was filled with the crying of palace maids and the imperial physician kneeling with his head down.

Yueying stood aside, her heart also in a panic. She had always thought that Qin Hanyan had the aura of the heroine, and she had also sent people to pay attention to her situation in the palace. Moreover, the Queen Mother asked her to raise the child in her belly, which clearly meant that the two of them had to fight for the man and for the child.

She always thought that the worst case scenario was that the fetus would be used to make trouble, and she never expected that Qin Hanyan would be eliminated so easily.

"Xiao P, come out, what's going on? Is the heroine really dead?"

"Host, points are required to detect the geographical location and physical condition of the main characters."

"How many points?"

"It shows here that the answer to the host's query requires one hundred points."

"buckle."

"Host, the heroine has indeed stopped breathing."

After hearing the accurate answer from Xiao P, Yueying's already swollen head began to ache even more.

"What I'm saying is, I can't fake my own death and get away with it anymore, right?"

"You still want to fake your death and get away? Aren't you afraid that the hero's blackening value will explode and the small world will collapse again? Up to now, you have not lived a good life in this world."

Yueying didn't expect that the heroine came here so early, but she would be stuck at the pregnancy stage.

"Was the heroine poisoned by someone?"

"Host, checking the physical condition of the main character requires points to redeem."

Come again?

"How many points?"

"Two hundred points."

"Then kneel down and pay your respects."

"Since this is the second time the host has inquired within one day, how about giving you a 50% discount?"

"Do you have this authority?"

Without waiting for Xiao P to answer, the Queen Mother pointed to the old doctor kneeling below.

"Doctor Wen, why are there only three of you in the Imperial Hospital today?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Emperor saw many refugees on his way to the Huguo Temple the day before yesterday, so he sent people to the Imperial Medical Bureau to take away all the doctors, leaving only three of you. It is said that he took a group of refugees who can read and want to learn medicine to Guanshan to collect herbs in order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics."

Even the Queen Mother didn't know about the personnel changes in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Yueying was a little unsure whether the heroine's accident was caused by someone else.

"Queen, do you know why Concubine Qin got into trouble?"

Yueying guessed that the Queen Mother was going to attack her, but firstly, she had not done anything wrong, and secondly, she had sent people to be on guard carefully. Even if this was not an accident, it should not be blamed directly on her.

"I don't know."

"Did you have someone take Chenpin's little darling away from Shuihua Palace?"

Chen Bin's little cutie?

Yueying recalled, should it be the golden retriever? Chenpin was pregnant, and Yueying had someone take Chenpin's puppy to a special place for care just in case.
