Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Du Lingzhi looked at her in disbelief: "Why did you provoke her? Don't you know your own limitations?"

Madam Du said dissatisfiedly: "Lingzhi, what are you talking about? You are now a noble lady in the palace. You are pregnant with the emperor's only child. Our Du family is a royal family!"

Du Lingzhi frowned and said, "Even if you are a royal relative, you can't overestimate your own abilities. You know how ruthless Lin Yiwan is. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

Mrs. Du was scolded for no reason and her face looked a little ugly.

She retorted without hesitation: "Grandmother did this for you, because she wanted to find you a supporter. If we become relatives with the Zhan Yi Marquis Mansion, who will dare to bully you in the palace? I'm afraid even the emperor will look up to you!"

Du Lingzhi bit her lip hard. This was the truth.

Now the emperor only cares about the child in her womb, so he often comes to sit in her palace.

But what about when she gives birth to the baby?

Wouldn't that mean he would no longer take her seriously?

No, she would never allow this to happen.

She took a deep breath and said, "Grandma, what do you want me to do now?"

Madam Du touched her belly and reminded her, "You used the child to whisper in the emperor's ear and asked Zhan Miao to come to the palace to pray for him. As long as you keep her by your side, we will always have plenty of opportunities to make her wish she was dead!"

Du Lingzhi looked a little hesitant, she really didn't dare to do so.

Madam Du urged impatiently, "Don't hesitate. What is Grandma doing for you? Isn't it for your future?"

Du Lingzhi finally made up her mind: "Okay, I will tell the emperor!"

Only then did Old Lady Du take her leave with satisfaction. She didn't believe that the Zhan Yihou Mansion would dare to disobey the emperor's orders.

As long as Zhan Miao falls into the hands of her granddaughter, it will be up to her Du family to deal with him.

Du Lingzhi considered for a long time before ordering someone to invite Xiao Ling over.

He frowned and asked, "I heard from the palace servants that you were unwell. What happened? Have you called the imperial physician?"

Du Lingzhi replied with a sad face, "Your Majesty, I have a heart disease that the imperial physician cannot cure. My grandmother just came to the palace and said that our Du family was bullied by the Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion. She was raped by the Marquis's wife and covered in feces. Now the news has spread throughout the capital. Where is my dignity?"

Xiao Ling was stunned and asked, "How could that be? Auntie would never bully an innocent person. Did your grandmother do something to anger her?"

Du Lingzhi shook her head vigorously: "No, my grandmother just wanted to invite Zhan Miao to visit the mansion, but who would have thought that the Marquis's wife would be so angry!"

Xiao Ling didn't say anything else. He was not a fool and he had probably guessed what was going on.

He said in a serious tone, "You are pregnant now, don't worry about things outside, take good care of the baby!"

Du Lingzhi subconsciously grasped his hand. "Your Majesty, no matter what, she is my grandmother after all. Their status in the capital is related to my reputation. Even if Your Majesty doesn't care about me, you should at least look at the child in my belly, right? How can you bear to let her maternal family be bullied by others?"

Xiao Ling frowned and looked at her: "Then how do you plan to let me help you?"

Du Lingzhi quickly spoke up: "I'm not trying to stand up for myself, I just want to save some face. I won't make things difficult for the emperor. Can you just order Zhan Miao to go to the harem and recite scriptures to pray for the child in my belly?"

Xiao Ling's face couldn't help but darken. He admired Du Lingzhi for her bold thinking.

Let Zhan Miao enter the palace to copy scriptures and pray for blessings?

It would undoubtedly be a stab in the heart of his aunt, so he would not issue an order.

He said calmly, "I will consider it. You can rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. I have important government affairs to attend to, so I will be leaving first!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly without caring about Du Lingzhi's expression.

When he returned to the imperial study, he directly invited Concubine Chen over.

He said in a serious tone, "Send someone to tell my aunt that the Du family has set their sights on Zhan Miao. Tell her to stay indoors on the pretext of illness, so that the Du family won't use the heir to control her!"

Concubine Chen understood the seriousness of the matter and immediately responded in a deep voice.

She sent her trusted nanny first and gave Zhan Miao a lot of brown sugar cakes.

Lin Yiwan agreed with Xiao Ling's approach, and she didn't want Zhan Miao to bear any stigma.

The next day, the news that Zhan Miao was infected with typhoid fever spread throughout the capital.

When Du Lingzhi found out, she was so angry that she smashed a set of teacups.

When Concubine Chen came to visit, she frowned and reminded her, "Sister Du, please don't act so recklessly. If anything happens to the heir in your belly, how will you explain it to the Emperor?"

Du Lingzhi sneered, "Does he really care about this child?"

Concubine Chen asked in confusion, "Why do you say that? This is his only heir, how could he not care?"

Du Lingzhi stroked her belly and said, "If he really cared, he should have asked Zhan Miao to come to the palace to recite scriptures and pray for the child in my belly!"

Concubine Chen interrupted without hesitation: "Zhan Miao has contracted typhoid fever. It's not that the emperor forbids her from entering the palace, but she can't enter the palace. If this disease spreads in the palace, do you think you and your child can escape? He is doing this for your own good. Why can't you understand?"

Du Lingzhi bit her lip hard, she didn't believe it at all.

Why didn't she get sick before, but instead suddenly got sick when she was asked to go to the palace to copy scriptures and pray for blessings?

Isn't it just deceiving her?

Thinking of this, she suddenly had an idea.

She spoke quickly, "Sister Chen, I'm a little worried about Miss Zhan. Why don't you go and plead with the Emperor to visit her on my behalf?"

Concubine Chen didn't expect that she would go so far as to ask her to go to the mansion of Marquis Zhan Yi to inquire about the news.

She spoke calmly, "I do want to go, but given the current situation, I'm afraid I'll get infected. How will I return to the palace then? Sister Du, just be quiet. Don't act rashly, or the Emperor might get angry!"

After saying that, she said goodbye and left.

Looking at her back, Du Lingzhi's eyes were filled with hatred.

Everyone is helping Zhan Miao, who does she think she is?

Zhan Miao was feeling so comfortable at this moment. He was touching Xiaobai on the left, scratching the civet cat on the right, and Zhan Qingning was feeding him sweet and sour oranges. It was like a god's life.

Sang Qiutang laughed and said, "Young Master Youming's storybook is selling like hotcakes again. It's said it's fetching five thousand taels of silver a copy on the black market!"

Lin Yiwan was surprised and asked, "Is it really that exaggerated? Is his writing really that beautiful?"

Zhan Miao subconsciously said, "It's very good, especially the love story, which is so moving and heartbreaking. Every time I finish reading it, I can't help but shed a lot of tears!"

Lin Yiwan's interest was also piqued. She asked in confusion, "Where is Mr. Youming from? Don't you book fans know?"
