Chapter 157: Cannon fodder in the heart-reading palace fight

This is a story about a concubine becoming the queen.

Du Ruo, the concubine daughter of a seventh-rank official, has been neglected by her father and aunt since childhood, her mother is hypocritical, and her sister is domineering. She has lived a cautious life since childhood.

The ruler now in power is a tyrant, and Madam Du doesn't want to send her daughter to die, so she lets Du Ruo enter the palace for the selection instead of her legitimate daughter.

After entering the palace, Du Ruo gained a mind-reading skill. When choosing the direction of the mind-reading, Du Ruo chose to read the mind of a designated object.

In such a treacherous palace, a transparent heart is the best way to make the emperor let down his guard.

Du Ruo pretended to be a weak little white flower and won the favor of the tyrant. She used her mind-reading skills to quietly make her opponent fall out of favor and lose the tyrant's trust.

In the end, the tyrant overcame all objections and sent Du Ruo to the position of queen. For the sake of Du Ruo, he left the harem and created a beautiful story of a couple living together for the rest of their lives.

But the tyrant is a very possessive man. How could he let the women he once knew leave the palace and remarry?

So the tyrant sent secret guards to kill all the concubines who left the palace.

And the original owner was one of these unlucky concubines.

The original owner was the daughter of a minister, and was named Chongrong. She lived in Cuiwei Pavilion. Because she was not favored and had a rank of neither high nor low, she rarely participated in the struggles in the harem.

But this is no way to escape death.

……

When Zhang Shan arrived, people were already in the palace.

Although her father was a third-rank official, he was a tyrant who held all the power and had the final say in the court.

Therefore, he did not bother to win over the court officials and just treated their daughters well.

These women who were selected and entered the palace were there for him to have children and vent his lust. If he liked them, he would sleep with them more; if he didn't like them, he would throw them aside.

Now, the emperor has only two sickly princesses. The eldest princess was born to the queen, and the second princess was born to Concubine De. Both are only five years old.

"Zhang Chongrong, the emperor is going to sleep in Minghua Palace tonight and has called your name. You should get ready early."

After sending the eunuch away, Zhang Shan saw the young palace maid peeking at the door of Cuiwei Pavilion.

"That seems to be Lady Lin's maid. I will chase her away."

Zhang Shan shook her head. "She has heard what her master wants to hear. It's too late to chase her away now."

"What should we do? Lady Lin won't do anything bad, right?"

Tonight is the day when the Empress will sleep with me at home. If I ruin this opportunity, I don’t know when I will have another chance again.

There are women in the harem one after another. If they miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to make the emperor remember them.

In the previous life, the original owner lost the chance to sleep with the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber because of Concubine Lin's mischief and was also ridiculed by others. From then on, she dared not go out.

"A kind horse is often ridden by others, and a kind person is often bullied. If she dares to raise her hand, we will chop her hand off."

"Okay, go prepare some hot water. I want to take a bath."

It's three o'clock in the afternoon now, and it's time to prepare for tonight's sleeping arrangements.

The maid Hong Fei responded and went out, and saw Lady Lin's maid looking around furtively at the door. She tried hard not to curse.

Zhang Shan sat back at her desk and continued to complete her writing project.

The system that was full and bored suddenly came online; [What are you doing? ]

When seeing what Zhang Shan wrote, the small system instantly turned into a kettle.

After the system retired again, Zhang Shan polished it again.

This time, not only did the small system, which had been immersed in various novel worlds and had seen big scenes, blush and its heart beat fast, but even Zhang Shan felt a little embarrassed.

"So exciting!"

As it was the first time that Zhang Shan wrote such a masterpiece, she couldn’t help but make a copy and put it in her own space.

With a light touch of her jade hand, the words on the paper disappeared. A breeze blew, and the paper flew off the table and fell to the ground.

"My lady, the hot water is here. Do you want to take a bath now?"

Zhang Shan asked someone to bring in hot water, but she had no intention of taking a bath.

Someone had tampered with the water, adding medicine that could cause rashes. In the previous life, the original owner was sent back for this reason, and Concubine Lin successfully took over the original owner's place in the emperor's bedchamber.

After the water cooled down, Zhang Shan asked someone to move the water away.

When night falls and Lady Lin asks for hot water, I heat the bucket of water and return it to her.

Zhang Shan sat on the bed in the main hall of Minghua Palace. She didn't feel awkward at all. She just nodded slightly, waiting for the king to pick her.

Emperor Xuanyuan Po looked down at Zhang Shan and opened his hands. Zhang Shan obediently stepped forward to undress him.

"Place it!"

Xuanyuan Po brought Zhang Shan to the bed, and his movements were not gentle at all. Fortunately, Zhang Shan was strong, and the two of them made love. Xuanyuan Po moaned twice more than usual, and seemed very satisfied.

After it was over, Xuanyuan Po put on his pants and left, but bumped into a woman at the door.

"How dare you spy on the emperor!"

Eunuch Gao ordered someone to drag the woman away, and Concubine Lin panicked.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am Lady Lin. Your Majesty..."

Seeing that the emperor did not react, Eunuch Gao knew that this woman was finished.

When Zhang Shan returned to Cuiwei Pavilion, she learned from Hong Fei that Concubine Lin had offended the Emperor and was punished with a cane.

After ten blows, the man stopped breathing.

Zhang Shan pulled the quilt to her belly button and slowly closed her eyes.

She was just using his own method to give him a taste of his own medicine, but she didn't expect that Lady Lin would bring disaster upon herself by running to hide in Xuanyuan's broken corner.

The death of Concubine Lin did not cause any stir in the harem, and no one even noticed it.

Early in the morning, Zhang Shan was awakened by Hong Fei, and with a rosy face, she went to Ganlu Palace to pay her respects to the Queen.

On the way, he met Du Ruo who was being reprimanded by Zhao Xiuyi.

"Zhao Xiuyi is so arrogant, scolding the concubines early in the morning. Those who know you think you are doing your duty to discipline your sisters in the palace. Those who don't know you think you are taking the power of the queen and running the harem."

Of course Zhang Shan knew that this was a little trick played by Du Ruo herself. Knowing that Zhang Shan had slept with him last night, she would definitely be suspicious when she saw her being scolded by Zhao Xiuyi.

Zhang Shan helped Du Ruo up, and a string of data was transmitted into her brain from the touching arms.

"Ms. Du is so delicate. If Zhao Xiuyi wants to admonish and punish her, she should go back to her own palace. Fortunately, I saw it. If it were someone else, I would have thought too much."

Du Ruo was a little bit unbelievable. Why did this person take such a big detour in his words?

At first I thought I was helping myself, but in the end I was stabbing myself in the back.

Zhao Xiuyi's father was a military general who grew up in the frontier. He could not learn the twists and turns of the imperial ladies in the capital, and was easily tricked by Du Ruo.

"You're right. I'll take care of you when I get back!"

The three of them arrived at Ganlu Palace, and Li Zhaoyi, Wei Chongyi, Gao Xiuyuan and others had all arrived.

Li Zhaoyi: "I heard that Zhang Chongrong was the one who slept with me last night. Why didn't she sleep a little longer this morning?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan smiled, but there was a knife in her smile. "Where did Li Zhaoyi hear about this?"

"Could it be that Miss Lin, who was eavesdropping last night, came to you in your dream?"

Li Zhaoyi knew about Concubine Lin's death. After all, she lived opposite the Minghua Palace. When the bloody corpse was carried out, she was so scared that she couldn't sleep all night.

Li Zhaoyi's face turned pale, "I just heard the palace maids talk nonsense."

"If you are talking nonsense, then Li Zhaoyi should not come to test me. Making people laugh is a small matter, but losing your head is a big matter. Of course, I was the one who slept with you last night. Tell me so that my sisters won't laugh at you."

Although Li Zhaoyi had the highest status among the nine concubines, her family background was low and she received the least favor, so the emperor would not favor anyone over the other. Therefore, each of the nine concubines was dissatisfied and fought fiercely with each other.

Gao Xiuyuan: "Zhang Chongrong's mouth has become more and more powerful. She used to be very low-key, but after serving the emperor, she has become so arrogant. This palace has seen it all."

"Not as good as Gao Xiuyuan. Gao Xiuyuan and Li Zhaoyi have a deep sisterly love. I envy them!"

Gao Xiuyuan stopped talking. Who in the harem didn't know that she, Li Zhaoyi, was not easy to deal with?

The child she was pregnant with was aborted by Li Zhaoyi, and the two of them went from being good sisters to mortal enemies.

Li Zhaoyi's face turned pale and then blue. She was frightened and angry at Zhang Shan, and she felt terrible.

Du Ruo was a seventh-rank imperial concubine, standing at the farthest position, but she also took in the farce.

One day, she will stand at the highest position and step on those who look down on her.

The farce was over and the queen came out.

The queen sat firmly on the high platform, watching the concubines plotting against each other, but she still overlooked the unexpected event of Du Ruo.

In the end, not only was she deposed, but the eldest princess also contracted smallpox due to the negligence of the palace servants and died from a high fever.

"Is the Second Princess still not well? What does the imperial physician do for a living?"

Seeing that Concubine De did not come, the Queen naturally first concerned about the frail Second Princess, and then brought up the accusation that Concubine De did not come to pay her respects or ask for leave, thus disrespecting the Queen.

"Since the beginning of summer, the Second Princess' illness has recurred and has never gotten better."

The Queen's personal nanny took over.

The Queen sighed and said with a loving motherly look, "The Virtuous Concubine has a kind heart. I will exempt her from paying respects for half a year and ask her to take good care of the princess."

This is also a disguised form of house arrest.

No one objected.

I won’t object, after all, we are all enemies and opponents.

After paying her respects, Zhang Shan returned to Cuiwei Pavilion. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a eunuch holding a tray and standing under the osmanthus tree.

"Hello, Empress Chongrong. This is the Emperor's reward to you. The Emperor will come to Minghua Palace tonight, so please make preparations early."

Zhang Shan and Hong Fei were both very happy. Sleeping with the emperor meant being favored, and no one dared to step on their faces.

But pampering is an unrealistic thing.

"Your Majesty, it would be great if we could have a prince or princess. Back then, Concubine De was promoted from a beauty to the first person under the empress because she gave birth to the second princess."

Zhang Shan touched her belly and it was almost there.

This was the first time Zhang Shan did this and she was unsure.

Can humans really reproduce asexually?

This kind of thing may exist in the fantasy world, but without the water of Zimu River, a single person cannot give birth.

But Zhang Shan wants to be the first one.

This must also be done.

Giving birth to the son of her enemy was more painful than killing her.

But Xuanyuan Po is a man with a strong desire for control, and the harem is full of his spies, so it is impossible for her to borrow his sperm.

and so……

She first had a genetic mutation, splitting herself (male), and then used technology to combine the two gametes together.

Simply put, he and she had a child.

Of course, he could also give birth to the split self, but the similarity was too high. She dared not believe it, and Xuanyuan Po did not dare to believe that this was his son.

Zhang Shan's three days of favor has slowly changed Xuanyuan Po's body. He turned a blind eye to the death of his two daughters in his previous life, so he can only have these two daughters in this life.

If Xuanyuan Po was too vigilant, Zhang Shan would have drugged him long ago.

But that’s not bad either.

Next, it’s Du Ruo’s turn.

"Who's there?"

Xuanyuan Po looked at the figure in the bamboo forest with a dark face.

There was clearly only one person there, and she was a woman, but how come he heard the unbearable voices of two men?

Du Ruo thought: What should I do? I really just couldn't sleep and came out for a walk. I didn't mean to run into him by chance. If I explain, will the emperor listen?
