The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Qi Junyi noticed that she was somewhat resistant to this topic, and thought it was because they had only known each other for a short time, so he did not continue to ask.

He also recalled things from his past life, and a dark and unclear look flashed in his eyes.

Many things that happened between them could not be clearly distinguished by right or wrong.

Fortunately, nothing happened now and he has a chance to start over.

That morning, Qi Junyi had breakfast in Ning'an Palace before leaving.

Jiang Lingyue escorted him all the way to the palace gate, kneeling deeply, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

Qi Junyi lowered his eyes to look at her, hummed softly, and said, "Go back and rest."

After saying this, he strode down the palace steps.

Liu Rong and other palace maids were waiting outside. When they saw him come out, they bowed and trotted after him, and walked out of the palace with Jiang Lingyue's respectful farewell.

It was not until the imperial carriage had gone far away that she was supported by Jinshu and slowly stood up.

She never knew that carrying a secret with this person would make her so nervous.

But he can't see it.

On the other side, after Qi Junyi boarded the imperial sedan chair, he instructed Liu Rong, who was standing beside him, "Call Dr. Chen."

Liu Rong bowed and agreed.

But I was a little surprised. Doctor Chen had just left. Why did he call someone back again?

But the emperor's tone was calm, and there was no clue at all.

Half an hour later, Guang'an Hall.

Doctor Chen, who had returned, looked worried after being questioned in detail.

"This old minister is not well-trained. I have never seen Empress Wanyi's pulse like this. It seems like poisoning, but it's not completely like poisoning... Perhaps this old minister is mistaken..."

"I understand," Qi Junyi raised his hand gently and said, "You can leave now."

Doctor Chen retreated as if he had been pardoned, leaving Liu Rong, who was serving tea, alone in the hall, filled with shock.

How long has Empress Wanyi been in the palace? Has she already been ambushed?

The huge study was plunged into an extreme silence. The emperor on the throne was sitting on the throne, his face as gloomy as water, and he said nothing.

Liu Rong tried hard to hide his presence, and in his mind, he raised Jiang Lingyue's importance even more.

Someone who can make their Majesty neglect government affairs and become distracted for a long time... in this harem, it is definitely not just a flash in the pan.

After a moment, Qi Junyi said, "Announce Xie Mo to see you."

Xie Mo is the leader of the Dragon Guard, the emperor's eyes, and the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand.

Any matter in which the emperor takes the initiative to use the Dragon Guards is not a trivial matter.

Liu Rong felt a chill down his spine and took his leave.

No one knows what happened in Guang'an Hall.

But the news that Ning'an Palace had invited the imperial physician early in the morning spread throughout the harem.

It is not uncommon for newly-arrived concubines to act like mischief after being favored for a few days, but if the emperor is willing to indulge them according to their wishes, it makes people think too much.

It is even more strange that their Majesty seems gentle and generous, but is actually cold-hearted.

…………

Shaoguang Palace.

Yesterday the emperor cancelled the visit to the emperor's palace, so today the huge palace seemed a little empty.

Only a few concubines of lower rank, such as Concubine Zhao, who had attached themselves to Concubine Hui, still came to report diligently.

The medical records from the Imperial Hospital were placed on the table, along with the emperor's order to set up a separate small kitchen in Ning'an Palace.

The atmosphere in the hall was strangely silent at this moment.

Concubine Zhao stroked her belly, which hadn't yet shown its shape, with a complex expression on her face. She was the first to speak, "Your Majesty's favor is truly enviable."

Their Majesty is like a snow lotus blooming on a cliff, mysterious and noble, indifferent by nature, and unkind.

There are times when I have to make exceptions for a woman.

Concubine Hui was also shocked. Compared to Concubine Zhao who had just entered the palace, she had been with Qi Junyi earlier in the Eastern Palace and knew him better. She had never seen him look at any woman with a sidelong glance.

Her hands were trembling slightly as she held the teacup.

It doesn't matter if your husband is a little cold, as long as he treats everyone the same.

Can……

The concubines sitting below also had unhappy expressions on their faces.

Concubine Hui took a sip of tea, suppressed her annoyance, and cast her gaze upon Lady Zhao's belly. With a firm mind, she said, "You are carrying His Majesty's first child. Why should you envy others?"

Lady Zhao paused slightly as she stroked her belly, then nodded submissively, "Your Majesty is right."

"When it comes to being admired, Chen Wanyi certainly can't compare to you," Concubine Hui said calmly, "The most important thing for you right now is to rest and take care of your pregnancy. In this palace, favor is only temporary. Wait a few years and you'll see, her favor will be gone, and only when you have a child will you have someone to rely on."

Lady Zhao replied softly, "I saved it."

Wu Cairen on the other side smiled and said, "Yes, why bother with her? No matter how favored she is, you are still different. Your blessings are still to come. Your Majesty is twenty-three years old and has no children. Even the ministers of the previous dynasty are looking forward to it."

"I will do my utmost to protect you and keep you and your child safe," Concubine Hui said at the right moment, "but please don't worry too much, as it will affect the heir in your womb."

"Your Majesty, I will always remember your kindness." Lady Zhao's eyes were filled with tears, she was deeply moved. But she hesitated and said, "Since Chen Wanyi is so favored, I'm afraid it won't be difficult for her to get married."

The tenderness in Concubine Hui's eyes faded a little. "As for children, it depends on your own blessings, not just on serving them too much."

If we count by number of times, then it would never be Concubine Zhao's turn. There are many elderly people in the palace who have served His Majesty for several years.

Isn't this just taking advantage of others?

During the three-year mourning period, the harem was like a stagnant pool of water, and the emperor's favor was like a cloud in the sky, and even a glimpse of it from afar was a luxury.

After the mourning period, the emperor began to visit his concubines, but a large number of new people also entered the palace.

There is not much grace to begin with, and this little bit will only make it more difficult to have a child in the future.

She is so worried even though she is pregnant with her only dragon heir. What can they do?

The concubines below also looked at each other, and some of them who were straightforward showed their dissatisfaction directly on their faces.

Concubine Hui slowly fiddled with the rosary in her hand and said slowly, "Please be patient. Even if His Majesty favors Chen Wanyi, he will just visit her a few more times. If it were me, you should learn from her. You are all old people who have served His Majesty for many years, so why are you not as favored as a newcomer?"

"Some people are just naturally seductive. How can we compare?" Zheng Chongrong snorted coldly, adding bitterly, "Your Majesty usually only comes to the harem twice a month, but she's broken all those old rules. She's been occupying Your Majesty for four days, even making a scene when she got her period, as if to make sure we weren't aware."

But now that I have my period, it would be inappropriate to continue to monopolize Your Majesty.

A sense of anticipation rose in the hearts of several people.

Unspoken news in the palace always spreads very quickly.

The news that Ning'an Palace invited the imperial physician early in the morning and set up a small kitchen spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon spread to all six palaces.
