Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

"Rise, all of you!" The Emperor's majestic voice rang out, and everyone rose and took their seats.

Most of them looked curiously at Jiang Chunxi, who was sitting in a high position, and were very curious about her appearance as Consort Fu.

Indeed, Jiang Chunxi was sitting with the Emperor, which indirectly conveyed the message that she, as a Noble Consort, was replacing the Empress. After all, it was one thing for the Empress not to appear on such a grand occasion, but for Noble Consort Fu to be sitting next to the Emperor was a very clear message.

Anyway, the Queen's family was all in a terrible state, filled with fear and anxiety.

In fact, everyone had already guessed that the Empress must have committed a crime. Considering the recent incident of many concubines in the harem having miscarriages, it was not difficult to guess the crime the Empress had committed.

Of course, Prince Chen's inner state was not much better at this time, and what he was afraid of now was whether his affair with the Empress had been exposed.

One person among them was extremely shocked, and that person was Yan Jialuo.

How could this be?

Yan Jialuo couldn't believe that Gu Yanjin's cousin was actually Consort Fu. What was even more ridiculous was that the people she sent to Jiangnan were still foolishly waiting there, completely unaware that Jiang Chunxi was no longer with the Jiang family in Jiangnan.

No wonder, no wonder Gu Yanjin suddenly changed his attitude towards her. It turns out that his cousin became the emperor's concubine, and he belatedly realized who his true love was, which is why he discarded her like trash.

The Empress Dowager's birthday celebration lasted until late into the night. During this time, no one dared to question the Empress, not even her family members.

Oh! By the way, Jiang Huishu is here tonight too.

Seeing her niece sitting in a high position alongside the Emperor, Jiang Huishu was so excited that she almost cried tears of joy. She had to use a lot of self-control to keep her tears from falling.

Gu Yanjin did not enter the palace, after all, how could Gu Bingkun and Madam Gu dare to let him enter the palace!

The next day, Yan Jialuo invited Gu Yanjin out, and the two met in a private room at a teahouse.

"Did you already know that your cousin had become the emperor's concubine?" Yan Jialuo questioned sharply as soon as they met. "No wonder, no wonder you suddenly changed your attitude towards me. It turns out that your beloved cousin becoming the emperor's concubine has deeply affected you."

"Hmph!" Yan Jialu snorted coldly, "Actually, when I first met your cousin, I knew that your relationship with her was not simple. The reason I didn't make your relationship clear was because I didn't take your cousin seriously at all."

"She's just a lowly merchant's daughter. If you really like her, you can take her as a concubine after we get married. But I never expected your cousin to have such amazing skills. It's truly an eye-opener for me."

"Yan Jialuo, what exactly are you trying to say?" Gu Yanjin looked at Yan Jialuo with a cold face, his mind on high alert. "My relationship with Chunxi is just that of cousins. What are you trying to achieve by slandering my relationship with Chunxi like this, or what is your purpose?"

Gu Yanjin would naturally not admit to his relationship with Jiang Chunxi, especially since Yan Jialuo clearly had ill intentions, making it even more unacceptable for him to admit it.

"Gu Yanjin, don't think that just because you don't admit it, your shady relationship with Consort Fu will disappear," Yan Jialuo sneered at Gu Yanjin. "Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it. After all, sometimes baseless rumors are more suspicious. As long as you plant a seed of suspicion in the Emperor's mind, do you think he won't find out about your past with Consort Fu?"

Gu Yanjin stared fiercely at Yan Jialuo: "Yan Jialuo, you need to know that we are already engaged. We're in the same boat now. If I'm not good enough, do you think you, as my fiancée, will have a good outcome?"

"You said yourself that I'm just your fiancée now," Yan Jialuo sneered. "Since I'm just your fiancée, then of course we can break off the engagement. Once the engagement is broken off, we're no longer on the same boat!"

Gu Yanjin clenched his fist and took a deep breath: "Yan Jialuo, what exactly do you want? Let me tell you, if you think you can threaten me like this, then you are being delusional. I, Gu Yanjin, am not the kind of person who can be threatened. If you really piss me off, I don't mind fighting to the death."

"Ha!" Yan Jialuo laughed. "You're angry, that's right. The way you are right now is exactly how I felt before."

Yan Jialuo's eyes immediately reddened: "Gu Yanjin, you are the only man I, Yan Jialuo, have ever loved in my life, and the man I, Yan Jialuo, want to spend my life with, but how have you treated me?"

"Let me tell you, Gu Yanjin, after we get married, if you dare to treat me badly, don't blame me for fighting you to the death. After all, I have something on you."

Yan Jialuo called Gu Yanjin out today only to confirm with him whether he and Consort Fu really had that kind of relationship, not to break off relations with him.

The result that has been confirmed now makes her very satisfied. With this leverage in her hands, how could she be afraid that Gu Yanjin would dare not to obey her in the future?

Most importantly, Gu Yanjin's stepmother is Consort Fu's aunt. Perhaps after she marries into the Gu family, she can use Gu Yanjin's stepmother to poison the two princes. After all, as Consort Fu's aunt, she will definitely visit the palace to see her niece often.

Yan Jialuo had already found out that Consort Fu and Gu Yanjin's stepmother had a very good relationship. Although they were aunt and niece, they were actually as close as mother and daughter. Since they were as close as mother and daughter, how could Consort Fu not frequently summon her aunt to the palace?

Gu Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief, but still kept a serious face: "Don't worry, as long as you behave yourself after we get married, I will naturally fulfill my duties as a husband."

That's right, he will only fulfill the duties of a husband and will no longer have any love for Yan Jialuo.

Yan Jialuo naturally understood what Gu Yan meant, but the problem was, she didn't care at all.

She did like Gu Yanjin before, but after Gu Yanjin tried to sever ties with her, Yan Jialuo no longer liked him at all. She only saw him as a tool, so why would she care about Gu Yanjin's love?

After the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration, the Emperor began to take action, and the upheaval regarding the reduction of the power of the princes was resolved in just half a month.

There was no other way; the emperor had caught all the regional princes like turtles in a jar. The tactic of capturing the king first was perfectly suited to dealing with them.
