The road of the favorite concubine in three lives is destined

By this time, Concubine De had already boarded the carriage and was heading to the imperial palace.

When the queen in the palace saw the carrier pigeon, she quickly opened it and was extremely anxious. She thought that if she left, her father's rebellion would fail, and she would not be able to threaten the emperor, and she would be dead. So she had an idea and thought of Lai Xiang as her lifeline. Lai Xiang was pregnant with the emperor's heir, so she could hide her and negotiate with the emperor. This way, she would still have a chance to survive. So she sent her men to invite Lai Xiang back.

Lai Xiang was drinking tea leisurely in the palace when she heard someone outside say that the Queen wanted to see Lai Xiang to get her consent.

Lai Xiang thought to herself, the Queen is tormenting me again. It's bad enough that she tormented me before, but she's tormenting me now that I'm pregnant. Really? She quickly drank the pregnancy-preserving medicine that Doctor Zhang brought her and went to the Queen's palace. When the Queen saw Lai Xiang coming, she stood up to greet her and said with a smile, "Sister, there's no need to greet me. I want to talk to you about something." Then the Queen asked the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, as well as the palace maids around Lai Xiang, to leave first.

The Queen held Lai Xiang's arm and asked her to sit down. It was the first time that Lai Xiang saw the Queen being so respectful and kind to her. She must have something to ask of her.

Lai Xiang asked, "What's the matter with the Queen calling Lai Xiang?" The Queen pretended to be calm and stood up, walking slowly while saying, "I want to support your child to become the Emperor."

Lai Xiang stood up in surprise and said, "The Emperor?" But the Emperor is still alive, and the child has not been born yet, how can he be the Emperor?

The queen stopped and looked at Lai Xiang. Her eyes were terribly sharp. She turned her cold eyes and seemed to have a cold light shooting out. She looked directly at the person in front of her with a clear gaze, as if there was an invisible pressure. She said, "What if the emperor dies? Then only your child can be the emperor."

Lai Xiang just felt terrified. Lai Xiang was originally an oiran and had lived a life of walking on thin ice. She finally lived a peaceful life, but the queen took advantage of her to get pregnant. She thought that her life would be better after giving birth to the prince, and the queen would let her go. But the queen wanted to rebel. If the rebellion failed, not to mention the queen, it would be a problem whether she and the child in her belly could be saved. And she also knew the seriousness of the rebellion. At this time, cold sweat broke out, and she sat there in a daze without saying a word.

The queen saw her fear and worries, and comforted her, Laixiang, as long as you listen to me, I will treat you as my own sister. I just want to be the queen. I will not hurt you and your children, believe me.

Lai Xiang took a step back in fear and said, "Your Majesty, I just want to live my life in peace." Then she knelt down and begged Your Majesty to fulfill her wish.

The queen sneered and said, I am not good at being soft with you, am I? I have begged you so humbly, please don’t be ungrateful. Don’t you know what you are? Just an oiran. Only after I turned you into the concubine you are now, you are qualified to sit and talk to me, otherwise who do you think you are?

Lai Xiang knew that the Queen looked down on her, but she didn't expect that after she had done so much for the Queen, the Queen still treated her like this. So she stood up and said, "If Your Majesty, the Queen has nothing else to do, I will go back."

The queen was furious and said angrily, "You want to leave? Where do you want to go? Did I let you go? In my palace, you can come and go as you please?"
