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

Fang Hua shook her head and said, "That Concubine Rou is not an easy person to deal with. She has also joined Concubine Liu, so she is definitely not easy to deal with."

"Noble Lady Liu is still kowtowing outside. It seems she won't leave easily. Your Majesty, do you want to see her again?"

Queen Jiang's eyes were deep. "She has a face favored by God, and no man would dislike her. This time, she was just unlucky and met an opponent like Concubine Rou. Since she is still useful, I will not treat her as a discarded pawn. Now I just want to temper her temper so that she can be better used by me."

"When the time is almost up, let her in. By the way, get the secret medicine that my father gave me from the storehouse."

A hint of surprise flashed across Fanghua's eyes: "Your Majesty wants Concubine Liu to..."

Queen Jiang sneered and said, "Rou Guiren is deeply favored by His Majesty. Otherwise, how can she get rid of Rou Guiren and remain invincible among the newcomers?"

Fanghua lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty is right. Your Majesty is willing to take the trouble to care about Concubine Liu. It is her blessing."

Queen Jiang chuckled and closed her eyes.

Half an hour later, she woke up from her nap and Fanghua walked out.

It was so cold that you would be freezing if you just stood outside for a while, let alone kneeling on the cold ground for so long and kowtowed many times.

Liu Ruyan's delicate little face was completely pale, and she leaned against Xunyou, almost fainting.

If it weren't for her strong willpower, she would have passed out long ago.

After learning about Queen Jiang's plan for Liu Ruyan, Fanghua's attitude towards her also changed quietly: "Oh, it's all my fault. I was so busy serving the Queen that I forgot that the noble lady was still waiting outside."

Then, she rebuked the palace servants at the door: "How do you do your job? It's so cold, and you didn't even help the noble lady up. You've let her kneel until now. You're all so careless. I'll report to the Queen and punish you!"

The palace maids in Kunning Palace were all shrewd people. They knew Fanghua was only doing it for Liu Ruyan to see, so they lowered their heads and said, "Madam, please forgive me..."

Liu Ruyan didn't care about these things. Hope burst out in her beautiful eyes. She straightened her body weakly and said, "Madam Fanghua, is the Queen willing to see me?"

Fanghua personally helped her up: "In fact, the queen has been thinking about the noble man in her heart. When she woke up and heard that the noble man had come, she immediately asked the maid to invite the noble man in."

After kneeling for so long, Liu Ruyan's legs almost lost feeling. She staggered and nearly fell. Fortunately, Fanghua and Xunyou supported her on both sides.

Entering the inner room, Liu Ruyan bowed with difficulty: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May you live long and healthy!"

Queen Jiang looked kind and waved her hand, saying, "Okay, no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Queen."

Queen Jiang glanced at Fanghua with a reproachful look: "How dare you! When Concubine Liu came, why didn't you wake me up? I let her suffer the cold outside for so long."

Fanghua bowed her head and said, "It was my negligence. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

With Liu Ruyan's shrewdness, how could she not see that one of them was playing the villain and the other was playing the villain? However, she still had to rely on Queen Jiang, so even if she saw it, she could only pretend not to know.

Liu Ruyan endured the pain in her knees and said respectfully, "Your Majesty's body is more important than anything else. Nanny Fanghua did the right thing. If I disturbed Your Majesty's rest because of me, I really deserve to die."

Queen Jiang looked at her with a kind look mixed with a hint of heartache: "Sister is so sensible, how can Your Majesty not love her? If it weren't for someone interfering, sister would have been restored to favor long ago. This time, sister has also been wronged..."

Xunyou stood behind Liu Ruyan with his head down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

She thought that the plan had failed and that the Queen would definitely blame the young lady for her incompetence, but she didn't expect that the Queen would not say a word of blame and even felt sorry for the young lady.

If Xunyou can figure it out, how could Liu Ruyan not understand it?

She did not relax because of Queen Jiang's gentle attitude. Instead, she was more anxious: "It is my incompetence that has failed the Queen. As long as the Queen orders, I will obey..."

Queen Jiang likes smart people, and a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes: "Your Majesty now holds Concubine Rou at the top of his heart. Her favor is at its peak, and it is unshakable by ordinary people. My sister has already failed once, and now I am afraid that only by getting pregnant with a dragon seed can she compete with her."

Liu Ruyan was stunned, a hint of bitterness appeared on the corners of her lips: "Every woman in the harem wants to conceive an heir to the emperor, and I am no exception. But... not every concubine who serves in the emperor's bedchamber has this blessing, not to mention that His Majesty hasn't summoned me for a long time. Even if I want to, I am powerless..."

Queen Jiang gave Fanghua a look, and immediately placed the box in her hand on the table next to Liu Ruyan.

"Sometimes, it is not necessary to distinguish between truth and falsehood, reality and fiction so clearly."

"This secret medicine was obtained by my father, the Marquis of Zhenguo, from outside the Great Wall. After a woman takes it, she will develop pregnancy pulses that can last for three months."

Liu Ruyan suddenly raised her head!

Queen Jiang wants her to fake pregnancy to win favor? !

"But, but... deceiving the emperor is a capital crime..."

Queen Jiang's eyes were still kind and loving. "I just saw that you are so beautiful, and I couldn't bear to see you being trampled under the feet of Concubine Rou, so I pointed out a clear path for you. If you don't want to, it's fine, just pretend that I never said anything."

"Fanghua, put the medicine away."

Fanghua responded "yes" and went to take the box next to Liu Ruyan. She quickly put her hand on it.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. That is not what I meant!"

Now she has no other options. If she doesn't try this method, death will be waiting for her!

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan's eyes gradually became firm: "Your Majesty is willing to consider me, I am very grateful! But... since the effect of this medicine can only last for three months, what should I do after three months..."

Queen Jiang leaned back on the phoenix chair and looked at her with a smile: "What do you think, sister?"

Thinking of all the humiliation she had suffered, all from Shen Zhinian, Liu Ruyan's eyes were filled with hatred: "Of course it was... Concubine Rou who plotted to murder the heir to the throne, her crime should be put to death! Even if His Majesty dotes on her, she must die!"

"Since you already know what to do next, I won't bother you any more."

Liu Ruyan still had one last worry: "Last night at the Xiaotangshan Palace, I had a rash due to an allergy. Your Majesty ordered the imperial physician to examine me, but he didn't tell me I was pregnant. If I take the secret medicine now and my pulse shows I'm pregnant, won't it be wrong?"
