Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

Do you know where the girl who lived in this house went?

The woman who was being questioned was startled, but quickly realized that this must be the girl's family member. She shook her head and said, "She burned to death. There was a big fire that night, and all the neighbors went to put it out. I heard she was pregnant. What a tragedy!"

This was already the umpteenth person Pei Zheng had asked. The servant couldn't stop him and could only watch as his master, like a madman, went around asking anyone he could find.

"A madman!" Yet another innocent passerby was startled.

After being scolded like that, Pei Zheng finally came to his senses a bit.

"Take me to see her."

Huanyun's injuries hadn't been bandaged yet, but she couldn't worry about that at the moment, so she could only nod.

The moment he saw the grave, the man's remorse reached its peak. He knew that Mingyi was petty and intolerant of others, but he never expected her to be so vicious as to harm a pregnant woman.

Had he known this would happen, he would have brought the person along even when investigating the case.

"Ming! Yi!"

Pei Zheng gritted his teeth and uttered those two words, all affection gone, replaced only by hatred for his lover's murder.

If Liu Fuyin saw him like this, she would definitely comment, "He's just being self-righteous and pretending to be deeply in love." If it were true love, he wouldn't refuse to give her a title. It's just that he's dead, and he's only shedding a few fake tears to feign regret.

On the day of the welcoming banquet, Pei Zheng left and did not return all day. If he had not only invited close friends and family, this laughing stock would probably have spread throughout the capital.

Princess Minning was also angry that Pei Zheng disregarded the overall situation, and regretted that she had misjudged him and let her daughter choose such a husband.

“You used to speak well of him when you came back, but look at him now! He abandoned his guests and didn’t even care about his pregnant wife who was having trouble with her pregnancy!”

"She was just a lowly maidservant. She's dead, so be it. What mistress doesn't punish her concubines? I've never heard of a fool blaming his wife for this! If I had known he was this kind of person, I wouldn't have agreed to your marriage, no matter how much you hate me as his mother." Princess Minning had waited in vain for a whole day, and the assassin's anger had reached its peak.

"Mother, he wasn't like this before. It's all that wicked maid's fault for seducing me while I was pregnant."

Mingyi cried and complained, but when her mother spoke ill of Pei Zheng, she felt a little unwilling.

"Yes, yes, it's all Mother's fault for letting the wolf into the house." Princess Minning wiped away her tears. Her daughter had just gone through a miscarriage, and she was afraid that excessive grief would cause problems.

As she cried, Mingyi suddenly grabbed her sleeve and hesitated before speaking:

“There’s another matter. My father-in-law isn’t sick, he’s been poisoned. This might be related to me. I was just resentful that he tormented me, so I asked A-Ping to buy croton seeds. But that wretched maid took it upon herself to poison him.” A-Ping had run away, and Mingyi was convinced from the bottom of her heart that she was fleeing from her crime. After all, she had burned someone to death this time, and Pei Zheng would definitely kill her.

Although, at first she did intend to send A-Ping away after she aborted Liu Fuyin's pregnancy.

But after running away, she didn't even bother to report to her master!

Princess Minning saw her daughter's solemn expression and thought she had committed a terrible crime. The doctor had already informed her, and she had already guessed it: "Don't worry, leave everything to your mother."

Princess Mingyi's pregnancy was really unstable, so Princess Minning used the excuse of caring for her daughter to take her home to rest.

It would have been better if he hadn't brought her. After she left, Pei Zheng didn't see her when he returned that night, and went straight to the princess's residence the next day.

Originally, because he was an elder, Pei Zheng spoke politely, but Princess Minning couldn't tolerate him speaking ill of someone's daughter in their home, and almost kicked him out without regard for his reputation...

Unfortunately, at this time, Master Pei fell seriously ill, which led Pei Zheng to threaten to divorce his wife. In the end, the matter was brought to a close with Princess Mingyi nearly suffering a miscarriage.

The Pei family has been restless these past few days, and the palace is even more unsettled.

Liu Fuyin never leaves her room, but whenever the emperor comes to the harem, he rushes to her place. How could she not arouse jealousy?

"Your Highness, you have no idea what people are saying outside. They all say you've fallen out of favor and will be overshadowed by Consort Lin from now on," Huaixi said indignantly, holding the food box.

She was given plenty of food, all of which were dishes that Consort Ling liked. After all, she was a consort who managed the six palaces, and even if she had fallen out of favor, no one would dare to shortchange her.

There are always some gossipy people, and Huaixi couldn't help but feel dissatisfied on behalf of her master when she heard them.

Consort Ling seemed to have heard a joke, her face calm as she snorted, but her tightly clenched fingers betrayed her unease. "Even if I have fallen out of favor, I am still a high and mighty consort. She is just a mere beauty who relies on her looks to serve others. Without the Emperor's favor, she probably wouldn't be able to survive even a day!"

"Your Majesty is right. You are the head of the six palaces, and those who gossip should all be expelled from the palace!"

She was the head of the six palaces, but ultimately she was not the empress.

If she were the empress and His Majesty were her husband, perhaps there would be no need for such intrigue and power struggles.

"Consort Lin can't be a newcomer... She, she must be that vixen who seduced His Majesty into leaving the palace several times even before he left!"

Consort Ling pondered for a moment, then spoke viciously, her malice amplified to an extreme degree, finally manifesting as a tangible blade.

Anyone who dares to steal her favor will have to see if they're even lucky enough to gain it!
