The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Meng Jiaojiao learned her lesson and rarely used those abusive words anymore.

However, his hatred for Chang Mingrou remained constant.

She also belittled Chang Mingrou at every turn to highlight her own image as the empress.

However, Li Yuan didn't buy it; his handsome face uttered cold words.

"Jiaojiao, in terms of ability, you are no match for Mingrou."

She could handle all the accounts of Li Huo Palace, and even come up with ways to help the palace increase its revenue.

Moreover, she is far more adept at managing the inner quarters of the Li Huo Palace than you are.

In terms of seniority, Mingrou entered the family earlier than you, so you should show her more respect.

"Jiaojiao, if you want to become the East Palace Mistress, you should show me your abilities."

Chang Mingrou smiled smugly, but didn't get too involved.

She's always like that, aloof and distant, never contradicting what Meng Jiaojiao says.

They seemed to think that everything Meng Jiaojiao said was right.

Li Yuan was naturally unconvinced. Did Chang Mingrou still have feelings for his older brother?

Is he destined to never be as good as his older brother?

It was this hidden desire for possession and comparison that made Li Yuan show some favoritism towards Chang Mingrou.

These are things that Meng Jiaojiao could hardly have imagined.

Meng Jiaojiao shed tears and left in a huff.

......

Guagua continued: "[Meng Jiaojiao fled in defeat once again, and I was at a disadvantage again.]"

She is delicate-minded and stubborn.

She always hoped that Li Yuan would lower his voice and give in.

As a result, hopes were always dashed.

Each time, the two would end up in a three-day cold war.

Not even one more day, Meng Jiaojiao couldn't bear to.

Another month passed, and a major event occurred in the Li Huo Palace.

Chang Mingrou nearly miscarried and is now weak, requiring her to rest in bed.

What should have been twins turned into a single fetal heartbeat due to some unknown scheme.

The mastermind behind it all points to Meng Jiaojiao.

She was jealous of Chang Mingrou's ambition to become the East Palace Master, and in her panic, she went to her family to buy poison.

Then he instructed his trusted confidants to put the medicine on Chang Mingrou's pregnancy-preserving medicine.

The confidant confessed to all of this without reservation.

But Li Yuan suppressed it, keeping it a secret!

Shen Zhao: [Guagua, what's the reason for Li Yuan's departure this time?]

A belated favoritism towards Meng Jiaojiao?

Or is it because of the unpredictable nature of Meng Jiaojiao's unborn child?

Guagua: [Host, it's actually because of the 'Heart-to-Heart Gu'.]

The "Tongxin Gu" (同心蛊) means that the hearts of two people are closely connected.

If one dies, the other will immediately follow.

And this has an even more perverse manifestation.

When one party has a fleeting thought of hurting the other.

This will immediately cause his heart and meridians to become chaotic, and will be too detrimental to him!

This "Unity Gu" was something Meng Jiaojiao obtained from her family after she realized that no matter how hard she tried, she would never become the East Palace Master.

She implanted this precious Gu worm into Li Yuan's body.

Having successfully finished her task, Meng Jiaojiao swiftly moved on to Chang Mingrou!

Shen Zhao: [What a performance of using the emperor to command the feudal lords!]

Meng Jiaojiao's move was unexpectedly swift, accurate, and ruthless!

Guagua: [No problem, Meng Jiaojiao finally came out on top!]

But being far away is not a good strategy!

At first, he wanted to protect Meng Jiaojiao because of the Heart-Connecting Gu, but he also felt guilty towards Chang Mingrou.

He not only directly appointed her as the head of the Eastern Palace.

They even spent a fortune to hire a renowned healer from the martial arts world to save Chang Mingrou's unborn child.

After Chang Mingrou fully recovered and successfully gave birth to her eldest son.

It's been a year already!

That year, Li Yuan did not lay a hand on any of the servants who were involved in that incident!

It seems we're waiting for someone to find out the truth!

Meng Jiaojiao didn't mind at all; it was good that she didn't have to waste her own manpower!

Moreover, she also gave birth to a son after Chang Mingrou.

The two women, now mothers for the first time, seemed to have forgotten their past unpleasantness.

She was simply focused on two important things: getting her health back and taking care of her child!

But the struggle between the East and West Palaces of the Fire Palace will not end!
