Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role
Chapter 34 The Imperial Concubine’s Favor 18
This Mu Hexuan is really as despicable as ever.
Chu Lingruo couldn't understand why he, an emperor, was thinking of such despicable ways to deal with people.
The plum tree is, and so is the sachet given to Concubine Lian.
Since he loved Liu Luoyao so much and wanted to remain a virgin for her, he shouldn't have taken so many concubines. If he had simply disbanded the harem, and not used the women to take back power and wipe out the original owner's entire family, Chu Lingruo would still look up to him.
It’s a pity that although they were dismissed in the end, it was the lives of the entire Chu family that were lost.
Chu Lingruo would certainly not let Concubine Lian give birth to a stillbirth and harm her body. Not to mention that she did not have much ill will towards Concubine Lian. Furthermore, after Concubine Lian’s entire family was executed and her original owner was banished to the cold palace, she chose to quietly collect the remains for the Chu family.
Because of this, she couldn't just watch Concubine Lian die.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, are you there?" Chu Lingruo called the system in her mind.
Xiaobai: The system is under maintenance, please do not cue
"Xiaobai, do me a favor." After listening to Chu Lingruo's request, Xiaobai replied: "Yes, but it will cost one point."
"So expensive? Can't it be free? Or give me a discount?" Chu Lingruo said shamelessly. After all, she worked so hard to complete a task and only earned ten points.
After much persuasion, Xiaobai finally agreed to charge 0.5 points.
Concubine Lian was in her palace, stroking her belly.
Not far away, on the palace wall, there was a snow-white kitten.
The kitten is snow-white all over, with a pair of lively green eyes.
It looked in the direction of Concubine Lian and jumped off the wall with an elegant posture.
The kitten walked towards Lian Fei, meowing as it walked.
"Huh? Where did this kitten come from?" Concubine Lian noticed the kitten walking towards her. She had never heard of any concubine in the palace keeping a cat.
When the kitten saw Lian Fei looking at it, it lay on the ground, rolled around for a while, and then stretched out, with its pink little paws open, looking very relaxed.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to drive this cat away?" asked the palace maid.
Concubine Lian shook her head.
After stretching, the kitten slowly walked to Concubine Lian and rubbed her trouser legs with its snow-white fur.
Looking at the cute appearance of the kitten, Lian Fei smiled. This little thing is quite adorable.
Lian Fei felt that the sachet hanging around her waist seemed to be pulled away by something. She looked and saw that it was a kitten with two pairs of furry claws that pulled it away, probably treating it as a toy.
Concubine Lian shook her head helplessly and said, "Cat, you can't play with this." Then she wanted to take the sachet back.
But the kitten had already torn a small hole in the material outside the sachet, revealing the herbs inside.
The kitten licked the herbs that fell on the ground with the tip of its tongue.
After taking back the sachet, looking at the slightly damaged sachet and then looking at the kitten on the ground, Lian Fei couldn't bear to do anything to the kitten.
She just used her jade-like hands to touch the kitten's furry head and said, "Don't be so naughty next time."
Suddenly, the kitten on the ground whimpered, as if in great pain, foaming at the mouth, and its body quickly became cold and stiff.
Concubine Lian was a little frightened when she saw this scene. The kitten, who was fine just now, suddenly died.
The kitten was alive and well before, except when it bumped into that thing.
Herbs inside the sachet.
Concubine Lian felt a little chill in her heart, this item was given to her by the Emperor, so she always carried it with her.
After picking up the sachet, Concubine Lian sent someone to find Imperial Doctor Jiang.
This Imperial Physician Jiang had once received favors from the Prime Minister's Mansion and was proficient in the medicinal properties of some strange herbs. However, his medical skills were not very good. To say that his medical skills were not very good was a comparison with the best imperial physicians in the palace. Compared with other ordinary doctors, Imperial Physician Jiang was still very strong.
Doctor Jiang checked the contents of the sachet and his expression changed slightly.
"My lady, this sachet contains Tui Hua San, which is extremely cold. If a pregnant woman wears it for a long time, it will absorb the vitality of the fetus, and the baby will be stillborn. And if the pregnant woman is not careful, she will also die, with one body and two lives."
Hearing this, Concubine Lian's heart was in turmoil, but she did not show it on her face. After rewarding Doctor Jiang, she warned him to keep it secret. Doctor Jiang thought it was a despicable trick used by the concubines to win favor, and did not think deeply about it, so he agreed.
After Doctor Jiang left, Concubine Lian stared at the sachet and felt something was wrong. The emperor actually wanted to kill her child. She didn't know how she had offended the emperor.
Thinking about it carefully, that day was the first time she was favored by the emperor. In the past, because the imperial concubine had the exclusive power over the emperor in the palace, other concubines seemed to have never been favored by the emperor.
But is this really the case? If the emperor really loves Chu Lingruo, then why is the imperial concubine still not pregnant, while the beautiful Liu Luoyao is pregnant?
Some details hidden in the dark emerged in Concubine Lian's mind. The emperor seemed to be special to Liu Luoyao, as if the emperor only loved her. All the means seemed to be just to cover up the illusion that Liu Luoyao was favored.
If Liu Luoyao hadn't been suddenly exposed, how long would she have had to hide in the dark?
The emperor loved Liu Luoyao so much that he didn't even want other women to give birth to his children.
Concubine Lian secretly hated that Mu Hexuan actually wanted to kill her.
There seemed to be only one person in this palace who could help her. She raised her head and looked in the direction of Chongluan Palace.
The dead cat lying on the ground was exactly what Xiaobai had transformed into. This was a play that Lingruo had put on to Xiaobai. She wanted to form an alliance with Concubine Lian.
What she had her eyes on was the Prime Minister behind Concubine Lian.
Ling Ruo in Chongluan Palace seemed to have sensed something and also looked in the direction of Lian Fei's palace.
It seemed that at a certain moment, their eyes overlapped and met.
A few months later.
The autumn harvest hunting day is approaching.
Concubine Lian stroked her belly, she would probably go into labor in the next few days.
He placed a black chess piece on the chessboard and looked at Chu Lingruo opposite him, waiting for her next move.
Chu Lingruo randomly dropped a white chess piece somewhere and said, "I won."
"Your Majesty is truly an amazing chess player." Concubine Lian covered her lips and chuckled.
"Almost there." Chu Lingruo gently pinched Lian Fei's fair and tender little face with her hands, which felt very good.
"Empress~" Concubine Lian gave Chu Lingruo a coquettish look.
"You should pay more attention these days." Chu Lingruo said. A big event is approaching, and they must be extremely alert.
During the months when Concubine Lian was pregnant, she often came to Chu Lingruo's palace. On the surface, she came to show off her power, but in fact, the two of them were just chatting harmoniously.
Play chess and read a book.
Concubine Lian felt that this kind of life was much better than before.
I even feel that the imperial concubine that I used to hate has become more beautiful as we get to know each other better.
"I talked to my father before, and he agreed to help us." Lian Fei said.
Chu Lingruo was not surprised by this result. She knew that the cunning prime minister would definitely agree. Even if he did not agree, it did not matter. With the help of the Chu family and the forces that the Chu family secretly gathered, forcing Mu Hexuan to abdicate would surely succeed.
Besides, the Chu family did not intend to rebel. It was just because the emperor was disabled and unable to take care of state affairs that they supported the young emperor to ascend the throne and made him the emperor emeritus. What was wrong with this?
A new chess game started, and this time Chu Lingruo was the player.
