Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Shen Zhinian said angrily: "The person behind this is simply despicable!"

Concubine Liu placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table, her face so gloomy that water could drip out of it: "Go to the Imperial Hospital and invite Xie Yan over!"

Xiao Weizi replied "yes" and went out immediately.

Shen Zhinian sat on the chair and lowered his eyes.

It seems that the imperial physician named Xie Yan is Concubine Liu's confidant, which is also an unexpected gain.

Not long after, Xie Yan arrived: "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine and Noble Lady Rou!"

Concubine Liu waved her hand and said, "Get up. Take a look at this Hetian jade bracelet. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Cuizhu handed the thing over.

Xie Yan took it and sniffed it, then checked it with other methods, his expression changed slightly.

"My Lady, if you smell it carefully, this bracelet has a faint fragrance, and it tastes slightly bitter when you lick it. This shows that it has been soaked in the juice of purple eggplant flowers. Purple eggplant flowers have a contraceptive effect. If a woman wears this bracelet, she will not be able to get pregnant!"

It’s exactly the same as what Shen Zhinian said!

While Concubine Liu was surprised, she couldn't help but feel a little wary of Shen Zhinian. She could even discover such a secret matter. It seemed that she had underestimated her ability in the past.

Shen Zhinian's charming face was filled with anger as she gave the reasons she had prepared long ago: "In the past, one of my father's concubines was quite knowledgeable in pharmacology and had used purple eggplant flowers to harm other concubines. I accidentally learned about the efficacy and characteristics of purple eggplant flowers, and that's when I noticed that the bracelet had been tampered with."

"No wonder I have never gotten pregnant despite being favored by the emperor many times since entering the palace. Someone must have been plotting against me!"

It turned out to be just a coincidence.

That’s right, if Shen Zhinian really had such great ability, why didn’t she get pregnant with a dragon fetus and only discovered this now?

The fear in Concubine Liu's eyes gradually faded: "Go to the Pear Blossom Pavilion and invite Concubine Zhou over. By the way, let her wear the bracelet that I gave her on the day she entered the palace."

"Yes!"

Soon, Concubine Zhou, full of doubts, came over with great interest.

She thought she would see Shen Zhinian being severely tortured by Concubine Liu, in a horrible state.

Who would have thought that the other party would actually sit peacefully on the chair. The look in Concubine Liu's eyes when she looked at her no longer had the jealousy and coldness from before, and even had a hint of admiration.

"Mrs. Rou is so attentive, I really didn't misjudge you!"

Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Concubine Zhou was completely stunned!

what on earth is it?

What happened while she was away?

Although she was puzzled, Concubine Zhou suppressed her jealousy and bowed to Concubine Liu: "I greet the Concubine! Your Majesty asked me to come here, but what do you want me to do?"

If the bracelets of all newlyweds had been tampered with, then how did Concubine Zhou get pregnant?

Concubine Liu looked at her and said, "Show the things I asked you to bring to Doctor Xie."

Concubine Zhou's heart skipped a beat and she felt a little uneasy: "...Yes."

How could she successfully conceive an heir to the throne without some tricks in the harem? Seeing the expression on Concubine Zhou's face, Shen Zhinian understood that this woman was quite cunning, but she always pretended to be honest.

Of course, she would not let go of the opportunity to continue to deceive Concubine Zhou: "My Lady, Concubine Zhou is pregnant, which means she was not affected by the juice of the purple eggplant flower. It should be that only my bracelet was soaked in it. This is good, the matter will not be blown up, and rumors that are unfavorable to Your Majesty will not spread."

However, as soon as Shen Zhinian finished speaking, Xie Yan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, these two bracelets have been treated in the same way!"

Shen Zhinian covered her mouth with a handkerchief in surprise, and looked at Concubine Zhou with a meaningful look: "Ah, this... maybe Sister Zhou is lucky and doesn't wear it much..."

How should Concubine Zhou respond to this?

The bracelet was a gift from Concubine Liu. If she said she didn't like it and didn't wear it, wouldn't that be disrespectful to Concubine Liu?

On the contrary, if you like it, why don't you wear it? Either you are lying, or you have already discovered the problem with the bracelet.

She discovered the problem but didn't report it to Concubine Liu. What was she planning?

No matter how Concubine Zhou answered, she would offend Concubine Liu.

She is now living under Concubine Liu, and whether she can keep her life after giving birth to the prince depends entirely on Concubine Liu's mood. But Shen Zhinian dug such a big pit for her, and Concubine Zhou really hated this bitch!

Who can survive in the harem without eight hundred tricks? After serving the emperor, Concubine Zhou relied on her favor to find an imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital, gave him benefits, and asked him to help check everything in her palace.

In the end, it was found that there was something wrong with the Hetian jade bracelet given by Concubine Liu! Concubine Zhou then put the bracelet away in the warehouse and never touched it.

At first, she thought that Concubine Liu didn't want the new bride to get pregnant, so even though she had taken refuge with Concubine Liu, Concubine Zhou never dared to mention this matter. Now it seems... this matter was not done by Concubine Liu?

Meeting Concubine Liu's cold gaze, Zhou Guiren broke out in cold sweat. She used great effort to stay calm, with just the right amount of confusion on her face.

"I admire the Imperial Concubine and cherish the gift from her. I am afraid that it will be damaged, so I have kept this bracelet. I wonder what happened today? What is the purple eggplant flower juice?"

Concubine Zhou’s reason was perfect, but she was the only one among the newlyweds who was pregnant, so it was hard not to be suspicious.

It is possible that it is true as she said, or it is possible that she has already discovered it but has been pretending to be stupid.

Concubine Liu was suspicious to begin with, so she naturally wouldn't trust Concubine Zhou anymore. She looked at her with a faint look in her eyes, "Nothing. Leave the bracelet behind and go back to take good care of your pregnancy. Don't let any word of what happened just now spread, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Concubine Zhou's heart suddenly sank: "...Yes. I will take my leave."

After returning to Lihua Pavilion, her trusted maid Caiyi said worriedly, "My lady, the imperial concubine called you over in a hurry, and then asked you to come back like this. This doesn't seem like a good sign..."

Lady Zhou sat on the chair, tightly gripped the teacup in her hand, and gritted her teeth and said, "I underestimated that bitch Shen Zhinian! With just a few words of provocation, she made the Imperial Concubine distrust me!"

Originally, she was the most respected among all the concubines who were attached to Concubine Liu. But now, before she had the chance to take action against Shen Zhinian, all her efforts during this period were destroyed by the other party!

Caiyi's face turned pale: "My lady, our honor and favor all depend on the Imperial Concubine, what should we do?"

A cold light flashed in Concubine Zhou's eyes: "Why are you panicking? As long as this child is here, the Imperial Concubine will not do anything to me no matter how suspicious she is. There is still a long time to go, and I will find a way to regain the Imperial Concubine's trust!"
