No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Li suffered a great deal and lay pitifully on the bed, feeling that life was hopeless.

But Wu Yunzhu's call of "Mother" rekindled her fighting spirit.

She deeply reflected on her previous mistakes and tearfully said to Wu Yunzhu, "It was my mother who let you down. I listened to the slanderous words of the villain and caused us to be separated~~~"

She definitely had some regrets, because at that time, in the backyard, apart from Fu Jin, she and Zhang were the only ones who had children.

Now that she saw that Geng could even get a concubine position by raising Wu Yunzhu, she thought how great it would be if she could raise Wu Yunzhu well.

Regret, regret!

Seeing her crying like this, Wu Yunzhu couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

From childhood to adulthood, she only knew that Li made a mistake and was punished, so she was given to Geng to raise.

But she never knew what mistake Li had made. No one told her, and she didn't dare to ask.

Now, after hearing Li mention this, she couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what mistake did you make?"

If it's not too serious, she can go to the Emperor and beg for mercy.

Li's eyes dodged for a moment, but she chose to tell the truth: "...That's it. In order to have a boy, my mother listened to her family..."

"But it's not that mother doesn't want you. It's that if you had a brother, you would be able to stand up straight!"

"For example, if you had a brother when you left the palace this time, he would definitely not let anything happen to you!"

What Li regretted was that her actions were discovered, or that she was deceived into giving birth to a boy.

But she did not regret pursuing her son, because in her opinion, that was a matter of peace and stability for them as mother and daughter!

Wu Yunzhu couldn't imagine what it felt like to have a needle inserted into her body. She had no memory of that time and didn't understand how painful it was.

But she understood that Li had also been deceived, and was only asking for a younger brother for her.

If she had a younger brother, she would not be able to control herself once she had this idea.

Yaliqi has many brothers and sisters, all of whom are her biological parents.

She was like a treasure, surrounded by these brothers and sisters, and the prince treated her so well that he almost doted on her.

Her younger brothers could even be bullied by her at will, and would smile and ask her if her mouth was dry from scolding.

God knows how envious she would be if she also had a younger brother...

Wu Yunzhu is worthy of being Li's daughter. Her thought process is exactly the same. She actually started to covet her imaginary brother.

Li Shi, of course, understood her thoughts, and her eyes lit up immediately: "Wu Yunzhu, you don't blame mother, right? My Wu Yunzhu~~~"

Blood relationship is sometimes really strange. Although Wu Yunzhu is not with Li at all, the two of them are so close at this moment.

No wonder people say that if a child is not your own, you can never raise him or her well.

Shi Liu was watching from the side in amazement, thinking that Geng had spent half his life in vain.

Now the princess only has eyes for her biological mother, and her adoptive mother probably has no place to stand.

Wu Yunzhu and her daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly, and their relationship was very harmonious for a while.

Wu Yunzhu couldn't bear it and said, "Mother, I'll go and ask the Emperor for help."

"I'll go tell him I don't blame you and ask him to let you out!"

She thought that although what her mother did was not very good.

But she is the only victim in this matter. If she doesn't pursue the matter, will the emperor pardon her mother's crime?

The Li family has been up and down for many years, oh no, it has been sinking for many years.

In addition, she was favored by the Fourth Master in her early years and understood his temperament.

If Wu Yunzhu were to tell him, he would be even angrier.

What she can do now is still the same, she needs to have a baby.

She waved her hand to let Shi Liu go out to guard the door, and whispered something to Wu Yunzhu.

After hearing this, Wu Yunzhu's expression was complicated and unpredictable.

"Uh... Mother, is this... really going to work?" Wu Yunzhu's face turned pale with fear.

Mrs. Li gave her a resolute look and said, "Okay, this is our chance to turn things around!"

Under her eager gaze, Wu Yunzhu could only take the paper bag from her hand and put it in her arms.

"Okay, mother, I understand," she replied with her head lowered.

When he stood up and walked out, he couldn't help but ask, "Mother, where did you get this?"

Although my mother has food and drink in this cold palace, she has no extra dignity at all.

Not to mention being able to contact the outside world, how could there be a chance to get such medicine?

Li gave her a meaningful look that reminded her of the secret and said, "Don't worry about it."

"Remember, the white one is for the Empress, and the gray one is for His Majesty. Don't make any mistakes."

"I understand, but you have to tell me where this came from!" Wu Yunzhu asked relentlessly, and threatened: "Otherwise, I won't dare to make any moves."

Not everyone dares to drug the most distinguished person in the palace.

She said the white one contained a sleeping pill, and the gray one contained an aphrodisiac, neither of which would harm anyone's life.

But what if?

If the source is unclear, who would dare to order this imported stuff?

In order to gain her trust, Li had to pull her hand over and write a word on it.

Wu Yunzhu understood instantly and nodded thoughtfully.

Li didn't give the medicine blindly. After all, there had to be a chance for Wu Yunzhu to give the medicine.

The main reason is that the front line has stabilized now, and it is time for Concubine De to return to the palace.

After all, she is the Fourth Master's biological mother, and she has made great contributions this time, so the Fourth Master cannot be stingy with his rewards.

All the concubines who went to the palace to raise orphans were promoted by one level, and Defei, as the initiator and leader, naturally took the first credit.

This was a promotion of two levels, and she was directly promoted to the rank of imperial concubine and noble concubine!

Defei used to be favored and respected in Kangxi's harem, but that was based on the favor of men and her pregnancy.

But this time the title was different. It was not because she had a good son, at least not entirely because of the son.

But she did her job well and this was the reward she deserved.

When Lin Mingyan brought people to welcome Concubine De and others back to the palace, she saw Concubine De with her head held high and her chest puffed out.

No, now she is the German Imperial Consort.

In the past, there was always a sense of resentment and dissatisfaction between the eyebrows of Concubine De.

But when they met this time, she found that her expression was much brighter and she even looked more open-minded.

Lin Mingyan led everyone to greet her, and she smiled casually: "No need to be polite."

As he spoke, he took her hand and said with concern: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. You have done a lot in the past few years~"

Lin Mingyan was a little surprised. This was the first time she heard Concubine De praise someone like this.

They quickly entered the state of commercial praise: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. You have worked hard over the years. You have raised the orphans very well. Your merits are immeasurable..."
