After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine
Chapter 87 There is a traitor around
Concubine Ning paused for a moment as she wiped her tears.
Ning Ruyan sensed something was wrong, and she grabbed Ning Guiren and said, "Sister, is there something wrong?"
"The concubine of the King of Qi is pregnant."
These words hit Ning Ruyan on the head like a bolt from the blue.
There was a ringing in her ears.
"Sister, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
"I mean, the concubine of the Prince of Qi is pregnant, and Doctor Li personally diagnosed her pulse. The Emperor values this heir very much, so he asked Doctor Li to diagnose her pulse and make sure she is safe."
Ning Ruyan was dumbfounded.
She had been giving Shen Yunjin contraceptive pills, so how could she get pregnant?
"The imperial physician checked my pulse and said it's been two months. Can't you just get pregnant? Why are you using Hehuan Powder? You're harming both the child and yourself now."
Two months? Ning Ruyan thought of what Shen Yunjin had said before about going to the manor, so maybe she was pregnant at that time?
Well, she thought he was an honest man, but it turned out that he was secretly having an affair with the King of Qi right under her nose.
She gritted her teeth in hatred, and Concubine Ning patted her.
"Don't alert the enemy. The emperor values this child very much. Even if the child is born, there are many cases where he cannot grow up."
"Your top priority is to take good care of your body and find a chance to have another child with the King of Qi."
Ning Ruyan hugged Ning Guiren's arm aggrievedly, "Sister, he never stayed overnight in my yard."
"What?" Concubine Ning stood up in surprise.
"What did you do to make the King of Qi hate you so much?"
"I...I didn't do anything, except...I didn't let him into the room on the wedding night..."
"At that time, I didn't pretend... After my sister taught me a lesson, I figured it out and tried to get along with him."
"But he always has a stern face, just like Zhang Fei in the temple. I get angry when I see him..."
Lady Ning touched Ning Ruyan's hair and said, "You regret it, don't you?"
"In the beginning, you pushed the King of Qi away. Now, you have to learn to humble yourself. Men, especially men in the royal family, are all arrogant."
"If you want to win back the King of Qi's heart, you must humble yourself and do what he wants..."
Concubine Ning taught Ning Ruyan bit by bit all the experience she had gained from serving the emperor for so many years.
She knew that her sister had been spoiled by her mother since she was a child, and asking her to bow her head would be like asking her to die.
Shen Yunjin returned to his room and was visibly relaxed.
This day was full of ups and downs, and her life was on the line. Her nerves were always tense.
She lay on the chaise longue and let Jinzhi cover her with a blanket.
She reviewed the day's events in her mind.
She thought of the time Ning Ruyan looked at her belly when she went out in the morning.
Although Ning Ruyan tried her best to restrain herself, the sensitive Shen Yunjin still felt it.
Only when Ning Ruyan asked her to take the birthday gift together did she become alert.
She thought about it and waved to Jinzhi.
"Master, do you want some water?" Jinzhi hurriedly put down the embroidery in her hands.
"Come, sit down." Shen Yunjin patted the seat next to him.
Jinzhi sat on the edge of the couch with half of her buttocks wet, picked up the beauty hammer, and gently tapped Shen Yunjin's legs.
"Who knows that I haven't had a change of clothes for two months?"
"There are only four of us, Yuzhi, Cuiliu and Hongliu. We didn't let them touch the other maids."
"Why is the master asking this?" Jinzhi stopped the beauty hammer in her hand.
Shen Yunjin told Jinzhi what he had discovered.
"Master, are you saying that one of our servants betrayed you?" Jinzhi stood up in anger.
"Master, tell me who it is. I will remove her bones!"
Shen Yunjin pulled Jinzhi to sit down.
"I'm not sure, Jinzhi. We grew up together. I only trust you. I tell you, if you do this..."
Jinzhi is the maid who has been with Shen Yunjin for the longest time. Moreover, she risked her life to protect herself today, which means that she will not be the one who betrays her.
But she felt horrified when she thought that the traitor was right next to her.
She is no longer alone now, and she must learn to protect herself and her children.
After listening to Concubine Ning sharing a lot of experience, Ning Ruyan started to make a fuss about returning home.
Concubine Ning had no choice but to send Ning Ruyan back to Prince Qi's Mansion.
"Siqin, go and call that slave girl over to me!"
Ning Ruyan had just laid down on the bed when she gave instructions to Siqin.
After a while, a figure walked into Qixia Garden.
"Your servant greets the princess!"
"Siqin, slap me in the face!" Ning Ruyan pointed at the person kneeling on the ground hatefully.
The man looked up in surprise, and it turned out to be Hongliu, the maidservant beside Shen Yunjin.
Hongliu raised her head with a look of disbelief.
"Princess, what did this servant do wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Siqin slapped him.
Immediately, half of Hongliu's face became visibly red and swollen.
"Keep fighting. Don't stop until I tell you to stop!"
Ning Ruyan was burning with anger and had to find an outlet.
Siqin hesitated for a moment and slapped him a few more times.
Suddenly, both sides of Hongliu's face were swollen.
"Princess, please spare my life. I am willing to serve you like a slave!"
Hongliu couldn't stand it anymore and kowtowed hard to Ning Ruyan.
"Be a slave? Are you worthy? I have given you a chance, but since you won't tell me the truth, Siqin, continue!"
Hong Liu took a few quick steps on her knees, "Princess, please understand. Everything I say is true. I would never dare to lie to you."
Ning Ruyan threw the teacup in her hand away, hitting Hongliu's head, causing a big bump.
The tea leaves flowed down along the tea and into Hongliu's eyes. Hongliu didn't dare to wipe them off.
"Concubine Shen has been pregnant for two months. As the head maid, how could you not know? You only told me that you suspected she was pregnant!"
If she had known for sure that Shen Yunjin was pregnant earlier, she would not have been so passive.
Now she is so embarrassed!
"I really don't know. Concubine Shen's affairs are mostly handled by her two servants, Jinzhi and Yuzhi. Although I am also a maid, Concubine Shen usually doesn't let me get close to her."
Hongliu hurriedly explained that if it weren't for this, she would not have joined the princess.
She was just jealous. Why was Shen Yunjin so nice to Jinzhi and Yuzhi, even though they were all first-class maids?
I take them with me wherever I go and consult with them on everything I do.
She is not like Cui Liu, who looks indifferent.
She is young and pretty, why should she be treated as inferior to others?
"Are you sure you are willing to work like a slave for me?" Ning Ruyan stared at Hongliu.
"If I speak nonsense, I will be struck by lightning!"
"Well, I'll ask you to do something. If you do it well, I'll make you the prince's concubine."
