I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

After dealing with Xian Zhaorong, Su Minglang did not encounter any obstacles along the way. The sedan chair landed steadily in front of the familiar vermilion lacquer door. Su Minglang looked at the golden plaque that was still shining, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and walked in.

"Empress!" Just as Su Minglang had expected, when Concubine Gu saw Lan Xin's swollen cheeks, her anger suddenly rushed to her head and she slammed the table.

"How dare you! Tell me who hurt you!" After saying that, he gave Su Minglang a bad look.

"It's Xian Zhaorong!" Lan Xin said angrily.

"Xian Zhaorong?" Now it was Concubine Shu's turn to be confused. She rarely saw this Xian Zhaorong on weekdays, so why did she suddenly cause trouble for her?

"It's all my sister's fault," Su Minglang said with a face full of regret, "My sister has been very sleepy these past few days and has not been feeling well, so I had to use the sedan chair that His Majesty had given me earlier."

"Maybe my sister acted too erratically, which made Sister Xian unhappy."

"Just for a sedan chair?" Concubine Gu asked doubtfully. With Prime Minister Gu at her back, she had a smooth journey. When she entered the palace, she had already been in a high position and had never been forbidden to ride in a sedan chair. So when she heard that people were jealous and even hit others just for a sedan chair, she was very puzzled.

"Your Highness!" Lan Xin didn't believe that she was humiliated by such a small matter. When she thought about how she had never suffered any humiliation since she followed Concubine Gu Shu, and now she was slapped by such a person, her eyes immediately filled with tears. "Your Highness, you don't know how reckless and rude that Xian Zhaorong is. She doesn't take you seriously at all."

Lan Xin told Concubine Gu what had happened in an exaggerated manner. Su Minglang raised his eyebrows as he listened from the side. He felt that this Miss Lan Xin was really unusual. His few words were a little offensive, but she made it sound like she was trying to rebel.

Sure enough, Concubine Gu became even more furious after hearing this, and the rage in her eyes was about to burst out uncontrollably.

"Don't worry, Lan Xin, I will make the decision for you."

"Sister Gu," Su Minglang interrupted the conversation between her master and servant at the right time and apologized sincerely, "It's all my sister's fault. Miss Lan Xin suffered such humiliation for nothing."

Su Minglang's words were full of apology, but every word sounded like he was saying that Xian Zhaorong was jealous and harsh to others.

"Humph! What does it have to do with you? It's just that bitch who's jealous, and she doesn't have the ability to keep her favor."

"Oh, right!" Concubine Gu Shu saw Su Minglang and then she remembered why she had called her here. "I called you here today because I have something to ask you."

"Sister, feel free to ask me anything you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know."

"Well, you said before that you wanted to be protected by me, so what can you bring to me?"

"I have nothing, but I have received your Majesty's grace for nothing. I only hope I can get some for you."

"What?" Concubine Gu's eyes widened suddenly. Although she was extremely glorious in this palace and could be said to be the most powerful person after the Empress, no matter how rich and powerful she was in front of others, she was the only one who understood the endless loneliness when she was alone in her empty room at night. If Su Minglang could really win some favor from the Emperor for her, then what would be wrong with her protecting her a little!

But, which woman in the harem doesn't want His Majesty's favor? Can Su Minglang really bear it?

"You said you wanted to win me a favor? Su Minglang, are you really willing to do that?"

"If His Majesty had not favored you, how could you have the right to speak in front of me now! And now you are telling me that you want to share His Majesty's favor with me?"

"Which woman in the world doesn't want her husband to love her alone?" Su Minglang laughed self-deprecatingly, "But my sister knows that she is just one of the concubines in this huge harem. Even if His Majesty favors me now, how long can this favor last?"

"My sister entered the palace many years before me. She should have seen how many newcomers in the palace were favored and then fell out of favor, and finally became unknown. How many sisters could not accept this gap and ended up depressed for the rest of their lives."

"I don't want to end up like that. I just want to live the rest of my life in peace."

"You..." Concubine Gu looked her up and down hesitantly. Seeing that the sadness between her brows did not seem fake, she felt a little relieved.

"If you can really win my favor, I will never forget you when I take charge of the six palaces in the future."

Concubine Gu Shu walked up to Su Minglang and patted her shoulder gently, "Please don't let me down."

"Sister, don't worry."

Concubine Gu looked at Su Minglang's back as he walked away, and the smile on her face instantly faded. She turned around abruptly and swept all the tea sets on the table to the ground.

"Humph! Do I need a little Zhaoyi like her to bestow my favor upon you?"

"Su Minglang, don't think you can show off in front of me just because you have received some favors!"

Porcelain fragments burst onto the ground, and the palace maids standing by were afraid to make a sound as if they were facing a great enemy. Concubine Gu Shu swept away the tea utensils on the ground but still felt unsatisfied, and glared fiercely at the palace maids and eunuchs around her.

"Get out! You useless things, get out of here! Get out!"

Su Minglang stood silently behind a rockery, listening quietly to the crackling sounds coming from Concubine Gu Shufei's place, and curled the corners of his mouth without making any expression.

"master!"

Nanxing, who had been missing since entering Jingyang Palace, suddenly appeared. Before Xiaoye could step forward to question her, Su Minglang interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's talk when we get back."

The few of them returned to Linglong Palace in silence. Even Xiaoye, who usually talked the most, forced himself to shut up when he saw his master was silent all the way.

"Master, I have already done what you asked me to do."

"Oh?" Su Minglang raised his eyebrows, "Is there such a person in Jingyang Palace?"

You have to know that Concubine Gu was well-known for protecting her children. Even though she did many harsh things to win favor in her previous life, when she really fell, none of her subordinates took advantage of her misfortune.

"She was a young palace maid whom I met in the laundry department. She had just completed her labor service and was assigned to the Jingyang Palace. I happened to see her."

"She was previously sent to the laundry department because of a small matter, so she has a lot of resentment in her heart. Now, I just mentioned it a few words, and she is willing to find out information for me."

"It's just..." Nan Xing scratched his head in annoyance, "It's just that she has just been assigned to Jingyang Palace. If there is really something important going on, I'm afraid I have no way of knowing."

"It's okay," Su Minglang said indifferently, "With Lan Xin by her side, Concubine Gu Shu will not easily trust other palace servants. She just needs to be a good pair of eyes, and don't count on anything else."
