Nanxiang sat on the couch in the inner hall, listening carefully to the noise outside.

If she takes action, she will be ruthless and will not spare his life.

The reason why she didn't take action was simply because she didn't want her hands to be stained with blood.

This is extremely ominous for a pregnant woman. Although Nan Xiang is not superstitious, she would like to stay away from bloody things as much as possible.

Moreover, letting Gu Junshen take action can also intimidate those ruthless characters in the harem who have ulterior motives.

Let them know that the opponent they are facing this time is not simple.

It can also allow Gu Junshen to gain some sense of accomplishment, thereby arousing his desire to protect Nanxiang and the child.

Outside the palace, the moonlight cast a silver glow, making the entire Wangyueju solemn and cold.

The trembling little eunuch squatted in front of Gu Junshen, stammering and unable to utter a word.

"If you don't tell me, I will kill all nine generations of your clan!" As soon as the words fell, a deep gaze fell on the eunuch.

"Your Majesty! I don't know either! I just put the news behind a brick crack regularly. As for who is behind it, I really don't know!" After Gu Junshen's threat, the eunuch spoke a lot of things in a very proud manner. He no longer had the guilty conscience and fear he had just now.

Liu Sheng, who was standing by, had a fierce look in his eyes when he heard this. This eunuch is also a ruthless character!

"Oh! You're lying!" Gu Junshen scolded softly.

"Your Majesty! I did not lie!" The eunuch's voice trembled as he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

As Nanxiang listened, she couldn't help but guess that perhaps an important person of this eunuch had fallen into that person's hands.

After all, that person is very good at finding something to hold against others.

Fortunately, Caiyun Juping and others did not have any evidence that could be used to catch them.

"Liu Sheng! Take him to jail! Torture him severely! See if he will talk!" Gu Jun said in a deep voice and waved his hand.

Then Liu Sheng called a few tall eunuchs and took the man away.

“If I find out that someone betrays their master again, this will be the outcome!” Gu Junshen threatened everyone in a deep voice.

"The slaves dare not!"

"Slave dare not!"

After saying that, Gu Junshen walked into the inner hall.

He adjusted his facial expression a little at the door and then walked towards where Nanxiang was.

Seeing Nan Xiang sitting on the couch and reading a book obediently, Gu Junshen smiled and said, "My beloved, are you frightened?"

"How could that be! I'm just pregnant, not a different person." Nanxiang sneered.

"Don't worry, my dear! From now on, I will be in charge of guarding your Wangyueju." Gu Junshen said with a firm face.

"In that case. I would like to thank the emperor!"

……

At noon the next day, the news that Nan Xiang was pregnant reached the ears of the concubines in the harem.

It was because the emperor sent someone to bring an imperial edict at noon!

"Empress Shufei, please accept the imperial edict quickly!" Liu Sheng said respectfully to Nanxiang who was walking towards him, holding the imperial edict in his hand.

"Empress Shufei! The Emperor has exempted you from the ritual of kneeling and bowing! From now on, Empress Shufei does not need to greet anyone except the Emperor!"

Liu Sheng stopped Nanxiang, who was about to kneel down to salute, with a smile on his face, and felt a little emotional.

It should be noted that Gu Junshen was originally the most observant of palace rules and etiquette, but now he easily changed the rules for Concubine Shu.

It turns out that nothing is constant, it’s just that I haven’t met the person who can change it.

Then Liu Sheng shouted to Nan Xiang who was standing opposite him: "By the will of Heaven! The Emperor proclaims: Wangyueju Shupin Song is gentle, kind, obedient, graceful, dignified, wise, capable, gentle, peaceful, chaste, and pure. She is hereby canonized as a concubine and given the title 'Shu'! This is decreed!"

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty! Long live the emperor!" Nanxiang stood and squatted slightly and said respectfully.

"I would like to thank Her Majesty Shufei for her promotion! May Her Majesty be blessed with good health!" Liu Sheng squatted down and congratulated Nanxiang softly the moment she received the imperial edict.

"Caiyun! Please have a cup of tea, Eunuch Liu!" Nanxiang looked happy when she heard that and gave Caiyun a wink.

Caiyun understood what he meant and walked to Liu Sheng with lotus steps and gave him a heavy bag of silver, which was twice as much as the last time she was promoted to Shupin.

"Thank you for your help yesterday, eunuch!" Nan Xiang looked at Liu Sheng's puzzled face and explained immediately.

"It's just a small favor! Your Majesty, there's no need to do this!"

Liu Sheng was a little terrified when he heard this. He just helped to pass on a message, saying that Shupin from Wangyueju had made some delicious snacks and invited the emperor to come over...

“This is no small favor!”

"Thank you very much, Madam Concubine Shu!"

……

Listen to Xuetang.

Su, who was sitting in the inner hall, was very annoyed at this time.

It just so happened that her inner hall was only separated from Wangyueju by one room, so she heard clearly what Liu Sheng had just shouted.

She finally stopped listening after Liu Sheng finished talking.

"My lady! Don't be sad! The people next door are just lucky!" Although Lily said this, she was full of jealousy in her heart.

It just so happened that the young lady of her family lost her child, and the concubine of the neighboring Wangyueju got a child.

What is this?

"Shit luck? From what I see from her, she should have been pregnant a long time ago. She just wanted to wait until the fetus was solidified before announcing it. I was just too stupid." Su said with great regret, feeling a pang of pain in her heart.

If she hadn't announced it so early, could she have kept her child?

she asked herself in her mind.

But she knew that if she hadn't known she was pregnant, she might have aborted the child due to depression.

Sooner or later, you will lose it, it’s just a matter of time.

"My lady! You have to cheer up! The Concubine Shu is pregnant, and the emperor's favor will definitely be divided up then. This is my lady's chance!" Lily suddenly thought of something and raised her voice to Su.

Su's eyes lit up when she heard this, and a strong desire to win favor suddenly burst out in her heart.

"Yes!"

She remembered that when she was pregnant, the emperor came to her from time to time, but she couldn't sleep with him so she went to Nanxiang.

Now that Nanxiang is pregnant, will the emperor's favor fall on her?

"Lily! Hurry up and dress up! I can't lose the party hosted by the Queen later!"

……

Jingren Palace.

"Your Majesty! I heard that Concubine Shu of Wangyueju is pregnant!" Caizhi came to Queen Chen, who was looking through the list of female guests invited today, and whispered in her ear.

Upon hearing this, Chen was so shocked that she almost dropped the list in her hand.

"Caizhi, what did you say? Concubine Shu is pregnant?"

Chen's eyes were full of disbelief, and the list in her hand suddenly lost its appeal.

She had wanted to use today's banquet to have a few more concubines in the emperor's harem who could compete with him for favor.

By the way, the two beauties carefully prepared by the Queen Mother won the favor of the Emperor.

Now that Nanxiang is pregnant, what is the significance of this banquet?

"Shufei? She was promoted to concubine just by being pregnant. She is really lucky!"

"Why did you get pregnant when I was hosting the party? Why not earlier or later?" In a fit of anger, Chen picked up the jewelry on the table and threw them to the ground.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Since Concubine Shu is pregnant, she will definitely not be favored by the emperor! Perhaps today's banquet is also an opportunity?" Caizhi said with her eyes rolling.

"Yes! This is also my chance!"
