Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

is it?

Emperor Jiaheng and Sun Wenzhong exchanged a glance—

I don’t understand. I don’t comprehend.

But choose to listen to professionals.

Emperor Jiaheng lowered his eyes and fiddled with his thumb ring, thinking for two seconds, "Pass the message to Consort Liang."

As always, he doesn't get involved.

This was Consort Liang's second lost child.

The first one was miscarried at the Prince's residence. It was found to be an accident at the time, but now even the Emperor Jiaheng is unsure.

"Isn't His Majesty truly troubled?"

Shu Jiao's lips curled into a sinister smile. "The previous dynasty asked you to establish a crown prince?"

Ok?

Um? ?

Emperor Jiaheng quickly realized what was happening, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up. "You're right."

The Empress had only two princesses.

The Empress has no legitimate son.

The previous dynasty had already made two fuss about choosing a crown prince; this was the third time.

Emperor Jiaheng was also annoyed.

Since Consort Liang's pregnancy also failed, using it to make a fuss is a way to say that the child deserves some credit.

He simply couldn't believe that, after knowing about this, Consort Liang's father could still allow the Second Prince, born to Consort Hui, to have such a high standing in the court.

If Consort Liang's father turns against her, and the court officials are not united, the matter of establishing a crown prince...

Can it still work?

It's impossible for them to succeed!

If Shu Jiao knew what Emperor Jiaheng was thinking, she wouldn't think anything of it.

As the old saying goes, all emperors are like this.

Shu Jiao strolled away leisurely.

On the way, they encountered Jade, who was delivering sweet soup to the Emperor on behalf of Consort Yi.

"Sister Jade".

Shu Jiao pulled her aside, greeted her, and then whispered, "Your Highness should stay away from Consort Liang these days."

Upon hearing this, Emerald's pupils contracted, and she immediately stuffed a bag of golden melon seeds into Shu Jiao's hand, saying, "Come back and visit Your Majesty more often when you have time."

Shu Jiao touched it; it was solid.

Not bad.

It has to be Consort Yi who is so generous.

The imperial harem cannot be without a generous and magnanimous woman like Consort Yi!

Shu Jiao: "Then, sister, go and deliver the soup to the Emperor first. He's in a pretty good mood right now."

Emerald chuckled softly, "Then I've come to the right place."

After saying that, she walked towards the front hall.

Shu Jiao, taking advantage of a spare moment, intercepted Consort Liang's head maid, Linglong, halfway through the journey.

"exquisite."

Shu Jiao called out from a corner in the middle of the night, sneaking around.

Judging from their expressions and demeanor, this was no small matter.

Linglong's heart skipped a beat. She glanced around and then dismissed the little palace maid following her before going to see Shujiao.

"Miss Shu, is there something you need from me?"

Linglong asked with some concern.

"Hey~"

Shu Jiao didn't speak, but sighed first, looking at her with a hesitant expression.

exquisite:……

Finished!

It's a big deal!

Without saying a word, Linglong immediately stuffed some silver into her hand, saying, "Please tell me in detail, Miss."

"The Emperor forbids this from being discussed, but I feel truly sorry for the Empress. These words are mine now, but you must not tell anyone else that I said them."

Linglong was stunned by Shu Jiao's words.

Then she slipped a purse into Shu Jiao's hand, saying, "I understand, please speak freely, young lady."

"Was Consort Liang's pregnancy...?"

Linglong's heart immediately skipped a beat, her mind filled with the thought, "Oh no, the Emperor knows."

"His Majesty knew all along, and was just waiting to see when Consort Liang would confess, but she never spoke, and now..."

Shu Jiao sighed softly, "His Majesty is very angry."

"My lady just... just wanted to be cautious."

Linglong hurriedly explained, "Sister Shujiao, is the Emperor going to punish my lady?"

What was she talking about?

She immediately advised the Empress to report the pregnancy to the Emperor as soon as possible.

However, the Empress insisted on waiting until the pregnancy was stable before proceeding.

This is just great.

Not only has she offended the Emperor, but she's also lost her child. Will her mistress ever have a good life again?

"That's not true."

Shu Jiao shook her head slightly, "The Emperor truly loves Your Highness. Considering our years of friendship, if Your Highness doesn't say anything, he'll simply pretend he doesn't know."

Call ~

Linglong let out a long sigh of relief, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

No!

Although the Emperor will not pursue the matter, the Empress still needs to apologize to the Emperor and beg for forgiveness, lest this matter damage their years-long relationship.

That's not worth it.

"One more thing."

Shu Jiao said again.

Linglong's heart jumped again. "What is it?"

“That day, a fellow villager of mine saw the floating duckweed in your palace, which seemed to have some contact with people in Consort Hui’s palace. But I’m not quite sure, so you should go back and investigate carefully.”

Of course, Shu Jiao couldn't tell her directly—

I've already found out; it was Consort Hui who did it.

Let Consort Liang find fault with her.

To put it indirectly, we can have someone deliver the evidence when Linglong goes to investigate, which would be more credible.

duckweed……

Linglong's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Thank you, Sister Shu. Please remember my mistress; she will certainly not mistreat you."

"I just couldn't bear to do it."

Shu Jiao sighed and shook her head, "You should investigate your palace more thoroughly."

exquisite:!!!

What the hell?

Does that mean there are many traitors in their palace?!

Linglong's eyes sharpened, but she responded softly.

The two parted ways quickly.

Linglong was also a decisive person; she went back and told them what had happened.

"Miss!"

Linglong grasped Consort Liang's hand, and said with great sorrow, "The young master has been murdered! Your Highness! You must pull yourself together and avenge the young master!"

Consort Liang, who was immersed in the grief of losing her son, regained a sliver of color when she heard these words.

Angry.

"Okay!"

With a loud crash, Consort Liang shattered the ruyi scepter beside her, her voice hoarse and mournful like the cry of a cuckoo, "Consort Hui! Consort Hui!!!"

"Investigate. Go investigate. Tie up that duckweed, we must get to the bottom of this!"

If it really is Consort Hui, she will never let Consort Hui live under the same sky!

"Yes!"

Linglong responded in a deep voice.

She was also very sad.

Among the high-ranking mistresses in the palace, she was the only one without a son. Without a young mistress, the palace was like a castle in the air, its foundation unstable.

The master had no one to rely on for the rest of his life, and her own life was not secure either.

My mistress finally got pregnant, but then...

She's not done with the mastermind behind this!

Soon, Linglong began a large-scale investigation.

Consort De was a little flustered by the investigation, but Consort Hui remained calm and even had the leisure to go to the Imperial Animal Garden to raise a new dog.

"Suckling~"

Call it twice, and the puppy wags its tail and affectionately circles around you.

Upon hearing about Consort Liang's situation, he merely scoffed, "Too late to realize it now!"

They said it would have been better if she hadn't had the child at all.

Okay~

Then Consort Liang should never have any more children in this lifetime.

When she gave birth, the emperor was busy with state affairs and only came to see her once at night, giving her some rewards, and then never came again.

That kind of disdain made so many people look down on her child!

Consort Liang added fuel to the fire, saying that it would be better if she didn't have the child, because even if she did, the child wouldn't be favored and wouldn't be loved by a father, which made her so angry that she almost had a hemorrhage.

How can such hatred be forgotten?

Perhaps Consort Liang couldn't remember at all, but she did.

She will remember the grievances, pain, and humiliation she felt back then for the rest of her life!

"So don't be a smart aleck when you're out and about, because you never know when someone you've offended might pop up out of nowhere and ruin things."

Shu Jiao clicked her tongue twice, thinking about the feud between Consort Liang and Consort Hui.
