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

Madam Xiao fell to her knees on the ground with a plop and said in panic, "I know I was wrong!"

The women in the harem could not tolerate the fact that another concubine gave birth to an heir to the throne. She was worried that the young lady might have such an idea, so she spoke out to test him.

Knowing that the young lady had no intention of attacking the royal heir, she and Yuanbao finally felt relieved.

Shen Zhinian was not really angry. After all, people in the palace always like to beat around the bush when they talk. Especially for an old lady like Xiao Ma, who has lived in the deep palace for many years, she has eight hundred thoughts hidden in her words.

When facing an enemy, it is naturally good to be cautious, but when dealing with one's own people, Shen Zhinian prefers to be straightforward: "What other concubines think is none of my business. But whether in the past, present, or future, this young lady will never take the initiative to murder other people's children."

Shen Zhinian doesn't think he is a good person, but if a person loses even a trace of conscience, he will become a cold-hearted and cold-blooded monster.

She likes supreme power and a luxurious life, but does not want to lose herself in the struggle for power.

Not harming innocent children is Shen Zhinian’s last bottom line.

Of course, the premise is that others don't take the initiative to harm her. Otherwise, when she fights back, she won't care whether the other party's child is innocent or not.

Madam Xiao and Yuanbao both understood what Shen Zhinian meant. They looked at each other and said in unison: "My young master is kind. I swear to be loyal to you till death!"

The two of them made their attitude clear. They were loyal to Shen Zhinian, and although they did not dare to help her murder the royal heir, if a pregnant concubine wanted to harm her, they would follow her orders and fight back.

Shen Zhinian was already very satisfied with the result: "Get up."

"Thank you, young master!"

At this time, Xiao Zhouzi hurried in from outside and reported after paying his respects: "My lord, I have been secretly watching Yilan Pavilion as you ordered. I finally found out that Concubine Liu had bribed the chef in charge of Concubine Kang's food in the imperial kitchen."

Shen Zhinian praised: "The Liu family had concubines during the previous emperor's time, and those secret chess pieces were taken over by Liu Ruyan. The movements of Yilan Pavilion are not so easy to discover. It has to be Xiao Zhouzi, who knows kung fu and is better than ordinary palace people!"

Little Zhouzi blushed and scratched his head: "I am just doing what you asked me to do. You are overpraising me."

Madam Xiao said in a deep voice, "The meals of the concubines in the palace are all prepared by the imperial kitchen, except for Concubine Kang, who is still in her first trimester. The imperial kitchen cooks her a separate medicinal meal every day."

"Couple Liu, is this an attempt to poison Consort Kang in revenge for Consort Kang's bullying of her?"

Shen Zhinian narrowed his eyes: "No, Liu Ruyan would not be so stupid as to harm others with such obvious means."

"Although I don't know what she wants to do, but now that she has taken action, I'm sure she will reveal her true colors soon. Xiao Zhouzi, keep watching carefully."

Xiao Zhouzi said respectfully: "I obey your command!"

……

The next day.

After Shen Zhinian finished his breakfast, Handan reported: "My lady, Little Li wants to see you."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Little Li knelt down and bowed respectfully: "Your servant greets the young master!"

"My lord, I have already done what you asked me to do to Lady Liu. I will find a suitable time to die and make amends. I hope that my lord will forgive my family for my dedication to your work..."

Shen Zhinian raised his eyes and glanced at him: "I will keep my word."

"Thank you, young master!"

Soon, the eunuch beside the emperor came over and said, "Mrs. Rou, the carriage is waiting at the palace gate. I am here to invite you over."

Shen Zhinian raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Thank you, eunuch."

This time she brought Handan and Yuanbao.

Fuqiu was steady and prudent, so she stayed in Tingyu Pavilion with Madam Xiao. As for Xiao Mingzi, during the two days when she was away, his task was to keep an eye on all kinds of news in the palace.

Although Shen Zhinian kept a low profile, there were no secrets in the harem. The news that the emperor took her to the Xiaotangshan Palace spread quickly like wings and caused an uproar!!!

It is said that the Imperial Concubine is the most favored one in the six palaces, but this time, His Majesty did not bring the Imperial Concubine with him, but only Noble Lady Rou.

What a grace this is!!!

Less than three months after she entered the palace, she had already risen from a small concubine to a noble lady! Such a fast promotion speed was extremely rare, not to mention in the harem, even in the history of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!

With His Majesty's love for her, if she had not been childless, she would have been the mistress of the palace long ago!

For a time, there were countless people in the harem who envied and envied Shen Zhinian and wished they could replace her!

However, the truly ambitious palace concubines still paid more attention to Concubine Zhou.

After all, there are more women in the palace than flowers in the imperial garden. Many of them are glorious for a while, but are eventually forgotten by the emperor. Only the heir to the throne is the foundation of one's life!

But Concubine Liu is an exception.

She truly loves the emperor. She wants the royal heir, and she also wants the emperor's favoritism!

After listening to Xiao Weizi's report, she sat on the chair in a daze, with a sad look on her face: "In the past, when His Majesty was in the palace, he would go to Xiaotangshan Palace alone to stay for a while after his birthday every year. I have tried many times to persuade him to take me with him, but His Majesty never agreed..."

"This time, His Majesty actually took the initiative to bring Concubine Rou with him, and he brought her alone... Could it be that His Majesty has really changed his mind, and I am no longer the one he loves the most?"

At this point, Concubine Liu's beautiful peach blossom eyes no longer had the domineering look of the past, but were replaced by a sadness that was difficult to conceal.

Cuizhu said distressedly: "My lady, who are you and what is the status of Concubine Rou? How can she be compared with you? I guess, I guess His Majesty is just attracted to her temporarily..."

"enough!"

Concubine Liu threw the teacup on the table to the ground fiercely. Her eyes gradually became more sinister and she gritted her teeth and said, "I have known for a long time that she is a foxy woman!"

"You said she was of low status, but Your Majesty would rather take her to the Xiaotangshan Palace than me. Doesn't that mean I am not even as good as a lowly bitch?"

All the palace people in the room were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Cuizhu quickly advised: "After all, after all, Concubine Rou is also a member of our camp..."

"During these ten months, you have to take care of Concubine Zhou's dragon fetus. You can't be sure that the concubines who are attached to the Queen will take advantage of the situation and snatch away His Majesty's favor. It's better for His Majesty to favor Concubine Rou than to favor someone else. After all, she can't escape from His Majesty's Five Finger Mountain!"

Concubine Liu's expression improved a little, but her tone was still full of jealousy: "Humph! I will just think of her as temporarily attracting His Majesty for me! Once Concubine Zhou's dragon fetus is firmly in place, if she dares to flirt with His Majesty again, I will never forgive her!"
