Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Xie Yu nodded, frowning.

"Jun'er is right. Concubine Lan was frightened, and the maid committed suicide by taking poison. Even if the clues are broken, Concubine Lan was wronged in this matter."

Lin Junxue comforted Xie Yu gently.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself. What happened to Lan Guiji was the result of a plot by someone with ulterior motives. It's hard to guard against. After this incident, Lan Guiji will be more careful."

Xie Yu sighed and said in a deep voice, "Jun'er, who exactly is she? She is so unwilling to allow a prince to be born. When I think of such a vicious woman lying next to me, plotting against my prince, I feel uneasy."

This was the first time that Xie Yu showed weakness in front of Lin Junxue.

Lin Junxue's eyes flashed, she reached out and held Xie Yu's hand

Xie Yu suddenly grabbed Lin Junxue's hand tightly, with an indescribable complex expression in his eyes.

"Jun'er, you are the only one who doesn't plot against me."

Xie Yu was sincere in saying this, and for the first time there was no pretense mixed in.

Lin Junxue lowered her head and smiled slightly.

The black eyes beneath the thick eyelashes flashed with a hint of disdain, without any warmth.

"Your Majesty, Jun'er will never plot against the man she loves deeply."

Looking at Lin Junxue's solemn promise, Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue with an even gentler gaze.

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Jun'er, I believe you."

Lin Junxue said, "Your Majesty, in the case of Concubine Lan, even though the maid committed suicide by taking poison at the time and the matter cannot be investigated further, we cannot pretend that it never happened. Whoever wanted to murder the heir in Concubine Lan's belly has a vicious mind."

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Jun'er, what do you mean?"

Lin Junxue said again, "I would like to ask for your mercy on behalf of Lan Guiji. If the emperor is willing, please give Lan Guiji a higher position. This will not only serve as a warning to those with evil intentions, but also comfort Lan Guiji who is frightened."

Xie Yu nodded, "Jun'er, what you said makes sense. Concubine Lan is a gentle and respectful person, and she is deeply loved by me. Now she is pregnant with a dragon seed. This time, she has suffered such an injustice, and she should be comforted. Jun'er, what position do you think is appropriate?"

Lin Junxue thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, why not confer the title of Lanpin? Is that okay with you? Right now, the position of concubine is still vacant. I think Concubine Lan is kind and kind-hearted, respectful and docile. If she gives birth to a prince, she should be promoted. Why not confer the title of concubine on her?"

Xie Yu pondered for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.

"Okay, then confer the title of Lan Guiji as Lanpin. I will draft an edict tomorrow and announce it to the six palaces."

Lin Junxue stood up and said with a smile, "I would like to thank the emperor on behalf of Lan Guiji."

Xie Yu stayed in Zhonghe Palace tonight, but he didn't do anything. He just hugged Lin Junxue and fell asleep.

Second day

After Xie Yu finished his morning court session, the decree to confer the title of imperial concubine on Li Shiwen came down. Originally, promotion to the position of imperial concubine required a ceremony for conferring the title.

But Li Shiwen is pregnant, and is less than three months pregnant, so she can't be too busy for fear of anything going wrong.

Therefore, the enthronement ceremony was put on hold until after the birth of a child.

When the decree to confer the title of concubine came down, all the concubines in the harem were shocked.

Even though Lan Guiji had received some favor from the emperor, it was not to this extent. She was given the title of concubine before she even gave birth to a child?

Even if the Emperor was almost knocked down by a palace maid yesterday in order to appease Lan Guiji, he wouldn't have given her a concubine position directly, right?

Liuguang Pavilion

Li Shiwen took the imperial edict from Gao Cheng's hand, looking confused.

How come in just one night, I became Concubine Lan for no apparent reason?

Is this simply a pie in the sky? No, it's not even gold falling from the sky.

Gao Cheng looked at Li Shiwen who didn't react and smiled.

"Lady Lan, the emperor said that you are not feeling well. He will give you the canonization ceremony after you give birth."

Li Shiwen came back to his senses, looked at Gao Cheng, thought for a while, and asked a question.

"Eunuch Gao, it's the Queen..."

Gao Cheng smiled but said nothing, but the expression on his face said it all.

When Li Shiwen saw Gao Cheng's expression, she knew everything and was moved.

How could I have deserved such a great favor from the Empress?

From childhood to adulthood, no one in the family has ever treated her so well. She has no way to repay the Queen's sincerity to her.

At this moment, Li Shiwen told herself that no matter what happened in the future, even if she died, she would never let down the Queen.

Li Shiwen asked Chun'er to send Gao Cheng away. After keeping the imperial edict conferring the title of concubine, she could not wait to go to Zhonghe Palace to express her gratitude.

Elegant Palace

After hearing Zi Shuang's words, Chen Xier looked grim and covered her lower abdomen.

After just over a month, she began to feel uncomfortable in her stomach.

Chen Xier gritted her teeth and said, "Great, what a great Concubine Lan. I really underestimated her. In just half a year, under the protection of Lin Junxue, she not only got pregnant with a dragon fetus, but also rose from a small noble lady to the position of a concubine. Is the emperor bewitched? He actually let her sit on the position of a concubine? Bitch, all bitches!"

Zi Shuang hurried forward, fearing that Chen Xier would get angry.

"Your Majesty, calm down. The imperial physician said yesterday that if you get angry again, it will be easy to lose the dragon fetus. It's not worth it for Lanpin. The emperor promoted Lanpin's position not because he really dotes on her, but just for the two taels of meat in her belly, and..."

Chen Xier had a gloomy face

"This time, I made a mistake. That maid is such a loser. She was determined to die, but she couldn't knock the baby out of Lanpin's belly? She ruined my plan."

Zi Shuang then spoke

"Your Majesty, the maid is dead. No one knows that this matter is related to our Xian Ya Palace. Even if the emperor wants to investigate, the witness is dead and there is no evidence. Nothing can be found. Your Majesty, it is obvious that he is just appeasing Concubine Lan. It can't be considered as favor."

Chen Xier sneered, "I only regret that the maid did more harm than good. She didn't get rid of the baby in Lanpin's belly. She missed this opportunity and was promoted to the position of concubine. It will be more difficult to take action in the future. I will never let Lanpin's child be born before me."

Purple double bow

"My queen, we must not act rashly during this period of time, otherwise if we are caught..."

Chen Xier said, "Of course I know. I'll talk about it later. During this period of time, I can't make the emperor unhappy again."

Similarly, Sun Manrou, who received the news, was also furious in her own palace.

Is the emperor really crazy? Why did he confer the title of Lanpin on Li Shiwen before she even had a child?

Shenguang Palace

Chen Mi sat on the couch, Hua Ling said, "Your Majesty, the decree for the canonization of Concubine Lan has come down. The canonization ceremony will be held after the birth. The emperor has also given a lot of things."

Concubine position?

Chen Mi narrowed his eyes, put down the book in his hand, and his eyes deepened.

Lanpin, this is what it means to lean against a big tree and enjoy the shade

She was promoted from a noble lady to a concubine all at once, replacing Concubine Yue, which must have been the work of the Queen Mother.

Otherwise, even if she was pregnant with the dragon fetus, the dragon fetus had not yet been born, and the position of concubine would not have fallen to Li Shiwen so easily.
