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

"Sister, I followed your instructions these days. While I was making friends with Yin, I occasionally expressed my dissatisfaction and jealousy towards you. She really fell for it!"

"She told me to reveal it to everyone when I got the chance. She also cursed secretly, hoping that the concubines who slept with you would not get pregnant, so that they would not become pregnant and snatch your favor."

After hearing this, Shen Zhinian understood everything.

When the pregnant concubine has a miscarriage, red flowers are found in Tingyu Pavilion, and with Concubine Sun's "testimony", her guilt will be 100% proven!

By then, no matter how favored she is, she will not be able to escape death!

What a vicious plan, it really fits Liu Ruyan's style.

A cold light flashed in Shen Zhinian's eyes: "You did a good job. Next, you will..."

After hearing her instructions, Sun Changzai's eyes gradually brightened.

"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely get this done!"

Fuqiu and Xiao Mingzi have almost collected all the evidence. With Sun Changzai as a trump card, Shen Zhinian will definitely win this round!

The stage has been set up, now it’s up to the people behind the scenes to take action!

As for who the pregnant concubine was who was being used and plotted against by Liu Ruyan, Shen Zhinian still didn't know and was not prepared to make a big fuss to investigate.

She never thought of herself as a good person, let alone a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering. She did not have the kindness to put herself in danger to protect unrelated people.

……

In previous years, Queen Jiang was in charge of the Wanshou Festival. However, this year Queen Jiang was seriously ill, so the responsibility fell on Concubine Liu, assisted by Concubine Liang and Concubine Xue.

Xuepin has always been a non-confrontational person and has no interest in such things as trying to stand out from the crowd. She just took on the empty title.

Although Concubine Liang was one of the four concubines, she was a good person and never offended anyone in the harem. In this matter, she did not compete with Concubine Liu for the limelight and fully cooperated with her.

On the day of the Emperor's birthday, the whole nation celebrates. It is a great honor for a concubine to be responsible for such an important matter!

Although Concubine Liu was extremely busy every day, she was in an unprecedentedly good mood. She didn't even care about being jealous of the emperor's favor to a certain concubine.

In comparison, life was much easier for low-ranking concubines like Shen Zhinian.

However, everyone in the harem, from the queen to the court ladies, is preparing gifts for the emperor. They hope that their gifts will surpass those of others and catch the emperor's eye!

Time passed like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye it was the day before the Wanshou Festival.

"His Majesty has arrived --!!!"

Hearing the eunuch's message, Shen Zhinian hurriedly put down the things in his hands and went out with the palace servants to welcome the emperor.

When the imperial carriage arrived, everyone in the palace had to come out to greet him. Sun Changzai knelt behind Shen Zhinian and followed her to pay her respects.

"Your Majesty, your concubine!"

Although Sun Changzai's appearance was only that of a beautiful girl, her heavenly voice was unmatched in the harem, and it really gave the emperor a sense of freshness. These days, she was quite favored.

"Get up."

The emperor's eyes were gentle. He nodded to Sun Changzai, then took Shen Zhinian's hand and walked into Tingyu Pavilion.

Sun Changzai looked at the two people's backs with a smile in his eyes.

She had long understood that it was difficult to support herself alone in the harem. As long as she and Concubine Rou were of one mind, days of prosperity would surely be ahead!

Shen Zhinian looked at Nangong Xuanyu with sparkling eyes and asked with a smile, "Why is your majesty here?"

Nanny Xiao and the others tactfully withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the inner room.

Nangong Xuanyu put his arm around Shen Zhinian's slender waist and brought her into his arms. A dark light flickered in his deep and dark eyes.

"My beloved concubine's days should be over, right? You have seduced me for so long, isn't it time to compensate me? Hmm?"

It's strange to say, he is obviously not an impatient person, but he has no resistance to her.

It's all because this little girl is born with a charming body. No man can resist such charm.

Shen Zhinian glared at the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are just trying to find a pretext to accuse me. I clearly did nothing, so how can you say I seduced you?"

The tip of his nose smelled the faint fragrance of gardenia on her body, and the emperor's eyes deepened a little: "You were born with such a beautiful face. Just standing in front of me is seducing me..."

"His Majesty……"

There was a light blush on Shen Zhinian's charming face, and her sweet voice was enough to make one's bones go soft.

The emperor's Adam's apple rolled, and he brought her to the bed and sat her down. When he saw what was on the bed, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Shen Zhinian seemed to have just remembered something, and broke free from the emperor's arms, hurriedly hiding the things behind him.

Little did she know that the more she acted like this, the more curious Nangong Xuanyu became: "What secrets does my beloved concubine have that I cannot know?"

Shen Zhinian still had his hands behind his back: "Nothing, nothing..."

"Your Majesty, let's rest early..."

Nangong Xuanyu chuckled, held her in his arms, and reached out to take the things behind her.

With Shen Zhinian's skills, how could he possibly be a match for the emperor? Naturally, he succeeded.

What she hid was a purse and a belt.

There are many concubines in the harem who like to embroider things by hand and give them to the emperor to express their feelings. Nangong Xuanyu basically receives a lot of them every few days, and the storehouse of the Yangxin Palace is almost full. Logically, he should be used to it.

But the emperor's eyes fell on the belt, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He asked in surprise: "Is this double-sided embroidery?"

Double-sided embroidery is extremely challenging for embroiderers. Just embroidering it is not an easy task, let alone embroidering it so beautifully!

Throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, only a few of the most famous embroiderers in Suzhou mastered the technique of double-sided embroidery.

When princesses and noble ladies got married, if they had a double-sided embroidery as a dowry, it would be a very face-saving thing, and they would be able to stand up straighter in front of their husband's family!

The emperor didn't expect that Shen Zhinian actually had such ability!

She nodded: "Yes. Not only the belt, but also the purse..."

"Although Your Majesty promoted my father to a higher position for his own reasons, I am still grateful. So I plan to embroider a purse myself to show my gratitude."

"The Emperor's Birthday is approaching. Everything I have was given by His Majesty. I really don't know what I can give to His Majesty. I only have a modest embroidery skill that I can give to His Majesty..."

Nangong Xuanyu opened the purse and took a look, and sure enough, it was also double-sided embroidery!

The emperor was extremely wealthy, but for the first time he felt that it was a waste to use such good double-sided embroidery to make a purse. After all, no matter how beautiful the other side was, it could not be seen because it was sewn inside.

"My beloved concubine's needlework is probably not as good as that of the best embroiderer in the palace. I like these two gifts very much!"
