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

Chapter 83 Concubine Liu is just a pawn of the emperor

Her bright eyes seemed to have lost all their colors and were now grey.

Seeing Shen Zhinian, Concubine Kang forced a smile, stood up and apologized: "On the day of the Wanshou Festival, due to the instigation of Yin Shuren, I misunderstood Concubine Rou. I had always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize in person at Tingyu Pavilion, but my body has not recovered yet. I hope Concubine Rou will not blame me..."

Shen Zhinian quickly stepped forward and held her down: "Lady Kang is a few years older than me, so I will call you sister."

"No parent would not be nervous about their children. In that situation, it is understandable that your sister was anxious. I understand. It has passed, your sister does not need to take it to heart anymore."

Concubine Kang was grateful and said, "Sister, you are so generous. I am really ashamed..."

Shen Zhinian signaled Fuqiu to hand the supplement in her hand to the palace servant of Shangxiang Palace: "The real culprit behind the scenes is still living happily. I know that I am unhappy, but I have to take care of my body so that I can plan for the future."

"Sister said so, right?"

Your Majesty has few children, and now he only has one princess. If I can give birth to a prince, he will be your Majesty's eldest son, and will be invaluable!

She can also rely on her son to gain fame, and her future is limitless!

The most important thing is that her child was murdered before he even had the chance to see the world!

How could Concubine Kang not hate? !

When she thought of this, tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed Shen Zhinian's hand and asked, "Sister Rou, you also think that this matter has nothing to do with Liu Ruyan, right?!"

"But His Majesty only looks at the evidence, and I can't do anything to her..."

Shen Zhinian said in disgust: "Liu Ruyan keeps saying that she treats me as her own sister, but she instigated Yin Shuren to try to frame me for the crime of murdering the heir to the throne. To be honest, I hate her too!"

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Concubine Kang looked at Shen Zhinian with a much closer look: "Now that she has lost the emperor's favor and has been stripped of her title, everyone in the harem can step on her!"

"My sister is right. I need to take good care of myself before I can avenge my son. If I never recover from this, wouldn't that be exactly what she wants?"

Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "I hope you can figure it out, sister."

Concubine Kang patted the back of her hand and said, "There are few people as beautiful and graceful as you in the palace. I really like you. When I feel better, you must spend more time with me."

The women in the harem all know that it is difficult to stand alone in the deep palace full of intrigues. If they can find reliable allies and join hands, life will be much easier.

Shen Zhinian's goal had been achieved, and he smiled and said, "Then it's settled. I just hope that sister won't think I'm bothering her when the time comes."

"how could be?"

After that, the two chatted for a while. Seeing that Concubine Kang was tired, Shen Zhinian stood up and said, "Sister, have a good rest. I won't disturb you for now."

Concubine Kang said in a gentle voice, "Caiju, send Sister Rou out."

"Yes! Lady Rou, please come this way."

After Shen Zhinian left, Cai Ju returned to the inner room and said worriedly, "My lady, I'm afraid Concubine Rou's kindness to you is not sincere. She just wants to join forces with you to deal with Concubine Liu. You must not let your guard down against her..."

Concubine Kang smiled weakly: "Of course I know. But in the harem, trust is built up bit by bit. Why would someone be so sincere to me right away?"

"At least Concubine Rou has never taken the initiative to harm anyone. She is much better than that vicious woman Liu Ruyan who is sweet-mouthed but has a vicious heart! Concubine Rou and I have a common enemy, so it is certainly beneficial to become allies."

Caiju nodded and said, "I understand."

……

Although the emperor did not enter the harem these days, a constant stream of supplements were delivered to Shangxiang Palace every day to nourish Concubine Kang.

Queen Jiang has always been virtuous in front of others. Even though she was seriously ill, she did not forget to send supplements to Concubine Kang.

Empress Dowager Liu and Concubine Liu also expressed their opinions.

People in the palace are used to changing their attitudes according to the wind. Seeing this wind direction, all the concubines sent supplements to Concubine Kang.

For a time, Shangxiang Palace became very popular.

Two days later, the emperor recovered from the pain of losing his son and visited Concubine Kang several times.

Although she was still in confinement and could not sleep with the emperor, this favor was enough to make many people jealous.

As the emperor turned over Concubine Liu and gave her the same supreme honor as before, people's jealousy towards Concubine Kang gradually disappeared.

Whether in the previous life or before entering the palace, the words Shen Zhinian heard most about the royal family were that the imperial concubine was the most favored among the six harems.

She had previously thought that Concubine Liu must have a special place in the emperor's heart.

But after observing for a few months, Shen Zhinian felt that Concubine Liu was more like a chess piece of the emperor. Her role was to restrain the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion and check and balance Queen Jiang. By the way, she became his target in the harem to attract the firepower of the concubines.

And she was immersed in this illusory favor from beginning to end...

Although Shen Zhinian sighed a little, he didn't find it strange. How could an emperor who was high above others really be swayed by love affairs? The most important thing in his heart was always the country.

Fortunately, in the face of the emperor's favor, she remained sober from beginning to end and knew what she really wanted.

At this time, Handan walked in and whispered, "My lady, the master has sent a secret letter."

Shen Zhinian opened the letter and read it. Shen's father said in the letter that he had already done what she asked him to do and it didn't attract anyone's attention.

As usual, Shen Zhinian threw the letter into the incense burner and burned it, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

The stage has been set, all we’re missing is the east wind!

……

After a period of rest, Concubine Kang was able to get out of bed.

The first thing she did after she regained her strength was to go to Yilan Pavilion.

Ever since Liu Ruyan fell out of favor and was stripped of her title, the palace servants who served her could not see a future and all went out to find their own way out.

Xunmei's three clans were exterminated, and now the only one left in Yilan Pavilion is Xunyou, who was brought in by Liu Ruyan from home.

Seeing Concubine Kang and her entourage coming towards him aggressively, a dark light flashed in Xunyou's eyes, and he wanted to go in and inform Liu Ruyan.

"stop!"

Lady Kang strode forward and asked in a cold voice, "You didn't even show respect to me when you saw me. Who taught you this rule?!"

Xun Youfu said, "I was blind for a moment and didn't see Lady Kang. Please forgive me! I am here to invite you..."

Before she could finish her words, Cai Ju, receiving a signal from Concubine Kang, slapped her in the face!

"How dare you! How dare a mere slave girl disrespect our mistress! Kneel down now!"

Xunyou covered his face and his eyes became sinister.

She was highly valued by the young lady, and had been a respectable personal maid since she was young. After entering the palace, she was also the head maid of Yilan Pavilion. Even though the young lady had fallen out of favor, she had never suffered such humiliation!
