The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne

Concubine Xu sneered and replied lazily, "Who knows?"

"Your Highness." Ning Xianyun knelt on the ground, crying and touching her belly. "Please save me, Your Highness. I was forced to have this baby by the Liu family. No, the Third Prince never touched me. I was just supported by the Liu family to fight against Concubine Bo. I don't know what the real prince and the fake prince are. Please show mercy, Your Highness, and show me a way to survive."

After she finished speaking, Concubine Xu's brows were twisted so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. She stared at Ning Xianyun without blinking, as if she wanted to see through her.

Ning Xianyun was afraid that the other party would not believe her, so she lifted her sleeves to reveal the striking red toad blood on her wrist: "My Lady, I am truly innocent. I did not intend to marry the Third Prince. It was the Liu family's promise that they would allow me to leave after the matter was settled."

Ning Xianyun cried so miserably that Concubine Xu believed it a little. She looked Ning Xianyun up and down, trying to see through something.

But how could the person in front of him with a pretty face, a frightened look, and choked speech be the Queen of Southern Liang?

Concubine Xu shook her head, thinking that she must have guessed wrong.

How could the third prince have the heart to leave someone behind?

Moreover, Ning Xianyun was so stupid that she revealed her identity, which was equivalent to handing the handle to herself. It would be easy to take Ning Xianyun's life.

Concubine Xu rubbed her brows with her fingertips, feeling a little discouraged. She had actually made a mistake and instantly lost interest: "Get up."

"Yes."

Ning Xianyun got up in a hurry.

Concubine Xu asked again: "Has the Liu family looked for you these days?"

She shook her head and twitched from time to time.

Seeing her like this, Concubine Xu frowned and said, "Just stay in the Third Prince's Mansion and don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do."

"But……"

"Since the Liu family is protecting you, they will naturally not stand idly by." Concubine Xu did not want to get involved in trouble, so she waved her hand and immediately had Ning Xianyun sent out of the palace.

After they left, Concubine Xu's face was filled with disappointment.

It was almost evening when Ning Xianyun returned to the Third Prince's Mansion. A little sweat oozed out of her palms. She sent away the people around her and sank into the bathtub.

"Master, what exactly does Concubine Xu mean?"

Ning Xianyun raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Just testing me."

From the first time she met Concubine Xu, she knew that she was neither an enemy nor a friend. Concubine Xu was now second only to the emperor and was above everyone else. She was used to being a favored concubine and enjoying flattery, so it was not surprising that she did something that went against her original intention.

After all, Madam Xu was just Concubine Xu's aunt, nothing more.

There is no need to sacrifice the rest of your life for an aunt who has been dead for many years.

Since Concubine Xu dared to test her, how could she let Concubine Xu have an easy time?

The night is getting darker

Concubine Xu had just removed her makeup, changed into a pure white inner garment, and was combing her hair in front of the mirror, looking thoughtful as if she was thinking about something.

At this time, a little palace maid walked in.

"Why are you here?" Concubine Xu was surprised: "Is there any movement in Changchun Palace?"

The little maid was Jasmine, the maidservant beside Empress Liu of Changchun Palace. Jasmine came to Concubine Xu and lowered her voice: "The Empress is seriously ill, and she sent someone to tell the Emperor that she wants to see him."

Concubine Xu sneered, retracted her gaze and continued to comb her hair: "How can a mother of a country be so mean? She is about to die, but she is still thinking about competing for favor?"

"My Lady Concubine, I heard the Queen instruct Doctor Qi to tell me about the Emperor's health condition. She also said that the reason there have been no princes since the Sixth Prince for so many years is because he was injured and could not have children anymore. I heard something wrong and I came to report it immediately."

As soon as Jasmine finished speaking, Concubine Xu's expression could no longer hold back: "Nonsense! If the emperor can't have children, then what does this thing in my belly mean?"

Jasmine knelt down in fear and said, "I dare not lie. This is indeed what the Queen said herself."

Concubine Xu slammed the hairpin in her hand on the table with a loud bang, her palm felt slightly numb, and she turned around and winked at her confidant.

"Send the person out."

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Xu sent someone to inquire about the news.

The confidant asked, "My Lady Concubine, is the Queen planning to plot against you before she dies?"

Concubine Xu gnashed her teeth and said, "I can't rule out this possibility. This bitch can't rest in peace even after she dies."

"My Lady, the Emperor and the Empress have been married for many years. The words of a dying person will definitely have an impact. If the Emperor believes them... the consequences will be disastrous."

Concubine Xu knew this, and her face twisted, "I finally overthrew the Liu family and became the only one in power. How could I let that bitch from the Liu family ruin my overall plan?"

"Go and find all of Doctor Qi's family members for me, the sooner the better. Also send someone to tell the emperor that I feel abdominal discomfort and ask the emperor to come immediately. Also send someone to keep an eye on Changchun Palace and report any disturbances in a timely manner."

After giving all these instructions, Concubine Xu lay on the couch with complicated thoughts in her mind.

When the Emperor of Northern Qi heard that Concubine Xu was unwell, he immediately put down what he was doing and hurried over to comfort her in a gentle voice.

That night, Concubine Xu took the man hostage and refused to let him leave.

When the news reached Ning Xianyun's ears, Madam Liu was accompanying Liu Xiangling for a massage. Seeing her daughter becoming increasingly thinner, Madam Liu felt uncomfortable.

"Madam, don't worry. I heard from the guards that His Highness has found a miracle doctor who may be able to cure the prince's wife." Ning Xianyun said softly.

Madam Liu nodded, feeling somewhat relieved. These days, the Third Prince would send someone to deliver a letter to her every other day, asking about Ling'er's health.

Perhaps she was in a good mood, Madam Liu said, "A few days ago, the Third Prince ate and lived with the common people in Hecheng, and he also contracted the plague. It was this miracle doctor who saved the Third Prince. Now that there is an antidote for the plague, the Third Prince has made an indelible contribution, and the Emperor will definitely reward him."

Ning Xianyun's face was calm, and she clasped her hands together and muttered, "I just hope the miracle doctor will come back soon, otherwise I... I won't be able to hold on any longer."

Madam Liu frowned, and Ning Xianyun took the initiative to explain: "Yesterday, Concubine Xu summoned me to the palace and said that Concubine Yuexian gave birth to twins, and Your Highness's identity was suspicious. She also asked me to obey her, otherwise she would kill my whole family."

"Is this true?" Madam Liu took a deep breath and said, "Noble Concubine Xu is too bold."

"Concubine Xu is pregnant, and she is favored by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Even the Empress doesn't take her seriously. Once she gives birth to a little prince, I'm worried that the Third Prince's position will be in jeopardy." Ning Xianyun inadvertently told all this to Madam Liu.

Madam Liu said in a deep voice: "Don't panic. The queen is not dead yet. She has no right to make the final decision."
