My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

After coming out of the Pepper Room, Liu Qingqing was in a daze, with dull eyes, as if she had suffered some great shock.

Seeing this, the palace maid Ling'er hurried forward to support her, "My beauty, what's wrong with you? You don't look well."

Liu Qingqing walked out of the Pepper Room, and the cold wind outside brought her back to consciousness a little.

She looked at Ling'er and couldn't help but ask, "Ling'er, you are from the Queen's Palace. Have you heard that a concubine fell into the water and was rescued by the guards?"

Ling'er thought carefully and nodded, "It seems there was such a person. About a year ago, Concubine Hua, who was in great favor with the Emperor, was strolling near the Imperial Garden when she slipped and fell into the lake. The people serving her at the time couldn't float, so it was the patrolling guards who arrived in time and saved Concubine Hua.

Since then, Concubine Hua first fell seriously ill, and then, for some reason, she was disliked by His Majesty. Even though she tried her best, she could not make His Majesty change his mind, and she was soon forgotten.

Oh, by the way, Concubine Hua is now living in the Yanxi Palace. Did the beauty know Concubine Hua before? Why are you suddenly asking about her?

After hearing Ling'er's description, Liu Qingqing's face, which had already lost its color, became even uglier.

She couldn't tell Ling'er that your master was asking questions just to verify what the imperial concubine said.

She shook her head and said, "Nothing, I just heard a piece of gossip and asked casually."

On the surface, Ling'er is a palace maid serving her, but in fact she is the queen's person. If it is said that Liu Qingqing and the queen were of the same mind before, she wanted to cling to the queen's thigh and kill Concubine Wan.

But now, the story of her hidden beauty in the golden house will probably reach the ears of the queen soon, not to mention whether the queen will target her.

Even though he was being threatened by Concubine Wan, he must not let Ling'er know about it.

At this moment, Liu Qingqing felt unprecedentedly conflicted.

If she wants to survive in the palace, it is absolutely impossible for her to do it alone.

Now that the Queen and Concubine Wan both know her secrets, it's like a time bomb that could turn her into ashes without a trace left at any time.

But who should I choose to join?

She needs to think about this problem carefully.

……

At this time, in the Jiaofang Palace, Qingye massaged Wan Rongyue's shoulders and asked:

"Your Majesty, I don't think Lady Liu is very smart. I really don't understand why the Guo family is willing to take such a big risk to send her into the palace."

Wan Rongyue's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and there was a calmness in her eyes.

“The character of a stupid beauty is a powerful weapon for men.

Moreover, even if something were to happen, the Guo family could easily deny their ignorance and put the blame entirely on the Zhou family, making them the victims of deception and exploitation by the Zhou family.

Qingye nodded thoughtfully and asked, "But between the Queen and us, why are you so sure that she will choose to stand on our side and become a spy for the Queen?"

"This is even simpler. If she chooses to join me, she can continue to flirt with the Queen for a while, and maybe she can find a way to completely resolve the hidden dangers of her identity along the way.

But if she refuses me, she will be charged with deceiving the emperor. Forget about being a beauty, even leaving her body intact would be a great favor."

Qingye nodded in sudden realization and said, "Your Majesty is very wise. Just in case, I will ask Miss Qiu for some medicine and give it to Lady Liu as an extra layer of protection to prevent her from having any ulterior motives."

After Wan Rongyuejing Qingye's reminder, he felt that it made some sense, so he nodded and agreed to Qingye's proposal.

That night, Qingye personally fed a pill of poison into Liu Qingqing's mouth and said:

"Don't worry, my beauty. This medicine won't kill you. However, this matter is of great importance. To prevent you from changing your mind, Your Majesty has no choice but to resort to this last resort."

Liu Qingqing scratched her throat and vomited for a long time, but nothing came out. The pill melted in her mouth and was extremely bitter.

She looked at Qingye angrily and asked, "I've already promised the Imperial Concubine that I'll keep my word. Why are you doing this? Isn't trust the most important thing for a partnership?"

When Qingye heard this, he sneered as if he had heard a joke:

"Trust? My beauty, have you forgotten how General Guo trusted you in the beginning? But what happened in the end? What did General Guo get?"

Liu Qingqing: ...

She couldn't refute this, and she couldn't refute it. Qingye blocked her speechless.

"Don't worry, beauty. This antidote won't cause any harm to your body as long as you take it regularly. I promise you."

After saying that, Qingye threw another bottle to her, "It contains the antidote for this month. When the beauty convinces Her Majesty that you are completely devoted and loyal, Her Majesty will be kind and will definitely help you get rid of the poison."

After Qingye finished speaking, he left Chuxiu Palace without looking back.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Ever since Lin Qinnan entered the prime minister's residence as a concubine, she has always behaved with moderation, gentleness and consideration, which has coaxed Guo Yian into staying in her yard for most of the month.

Mrs. Liu, the wife of the Prime Minister, was also very happy when she saw this.

It's a good thing that my son has finally forgotten Liu Qingqing, that fickle, vain bitch.

So, on a sunny afternoon, Lin Qinniang couldn't eat, so Liu asked someone to invite the court doctor to take a look. It turned out that Lin Qinniang was already one month pregnant.

It’s just that the fetus is too young to be detected.

Upon hearing this good news, Liu was overjoyed.

Although Lin Qinnan is just a concubine, the baby she is carrying in her belly is the first bloodline of the next generation of the Guo family. How important is this?

Immediately, Liu Shi waved her hand and took the initiative to promote Lin Qinniang to be a concubine, providing her with the best food, clothing and other necessities. Not only did she move her to a more spacious and beautiful courtyard, but she also assigned several maids and servants to serve her.

It was a scene where they wanted to worship Lin Qinnan as a deity.

Zilan, who was also a concubine, was so jealous that her eyes turned red.

But there was no way around it. It was all because her belly was not strong enough for her to conceive the eldest grandson of the prime minister's mansion before Lin Qinnan.

After hearing the news, Guo Yian was stunned at first, and then a complicated feeling surged in his heart.

Are you happy? Of course I am.

But he knew that, in fact, at the beginning, he used Lin Qinniang as a substitute for Liu Qingqing, but later when they got along, Lin Qinniang was always cautious and put him first in everything. No matter big or small, Lin Qinniang was always gentle, considerate and understanding in front of him.

It was very similar to the scene when he first faced Liu Qingqing. Guo Yian's heart was gradually melted and moved by Lin Qinniang.

So much so that later on, he himself couldn't figure out whether he was treating Lin Qinnan as a substitute or whether he really had feelings for her.

Hearing that she was pregnant with her own child was a wonderful feeling.

It’s like a heart that has been wandering for a long time finally found its home.

He thought he was relieved and moved.
