Yang Guifei was overjoyed to receive the news from her temporary father. She quickly took the secret letter from her personal maid, opened it, and began to frown.

The contents of the letter were not what she had hoped for; I told him to go and apologize to the emperor.

He also strongly urged her to give birth to an imperial heir as soon as possible, otherwise the Jiang family's position might be unstable, and he specifically emphasized that this was her maternal grandfather's request.

Consort Jiang was filled with anger. Seeing her personal maid standing there blankly, not offering any advice, she became even angrier. She kicked him and cursed.

"Useless trash."

However, after kicking her a few times, Consort Jiang calmed down. Her father had said that the emperor had a cooperative relationship with the Jiang family, so as long as she bowed her head, the emperor would forgive her, she told her personal maid.

"Go to Zichen Palace and send a message that I have invited the Emperor to go to the Imperial Garden to admire the flowers tomorrow."

"Yes."

The personal maidservant responded and withdrew quickly, afraid that Consort Jiang might punish her again if she displeased her in any way.

"etc,

Consort Jiang's re-speaking caused her personal maid to freeze in place, but she quickly recovered, fearing that she would be punished if she was a step too late.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Bring in Consort Yang, who is kneeling outside. I have something to ask her."

Consort Jiang felt that Consort Yang's schemes were sometimes quite effective, and that her previous failures were due to Jiang Shuning's interference.

So, she wanted Chu Tianling's advice on how to seduce him.

The palace maids outside were overjoyed when they heard Consort Jiang call for Yang to enter; it seemed their mistress's plan would soon be completed.

Consort Yang was also surprised that Consort Jiang summoned her so quickly. She was uneasy, afraid that Consort Jiang would discover her secret with that palace maid.

Seeing the palace maid's calm and composed demeanor, I felt somewhat at ease.

"See the Imperial Concubine."

Consort Yang dared not speak rashly, and could only kneel down, waiting for Consort Jiang to speak.

Ningxi Palace.

"Damn it!"

When Jiang Shuning learned that Chu Tianling and Consort Jiang had been seen together intimately admiring flowers in the Imperial Garden, and that Chu Tianling had gone to Chengqian Palace and spent the night there, Jiang Shuning was furious.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. Once Consort Yang takes action, the Emperor's heart will naturally return to you, and he will realize that you are the one he loves most."

The personal maid comforted her, holding a cup of warm flower tea, and gently handed it to Jiang Shuning.

"This tea can calm your nerves. Drink it and then you can sleep peacefully."

Since their master wasn't resting late at night, servants like them had no choice but to stay up as well. The personal maid muttered to herself, but dared not show it at all.

A few more days passed.

In the days that followed, the concubines in the palace learned that Consort Jiang had toured the Imperial Garden with the Emperor, so they went to her palace and began to imitate her, trying to attract the Emperor's attention in various ways.

After experiencing having women on both sides, Chu Tianling naturally couldn't go back, so he began to frequently visit the harem.

He enjoyed the pleasure of being surrounded by numerous concubines.

"Your Majesty, I have learned a new dance. Tonight, I would like to invite Your Majesty to my palace so that I may personally perform the dance for you and express my admiration for you."

A concubine dressed in emerald green palace attire, her eyes sparkling, her voice soft and full of anticipation.

Before Chu Tianling could react, another concubine, dressed in a light pink gauze dress and with a peach-blossom smile, stepped forward and tried to take Chu Tianling's hand.

"Your Majesty, I recently acquired a masterpiece by a renowned artist and would like to invite Your Majesty to appreciate it with me tonight."

All of this was witnessed by Jiang Shuning, who was not far away. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, but when she thought about what was about to happen, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Suddenly, a woman rushed out from behind the artificial hill, causing the palace concubines to scatter.

"who are you?"

One of the palace concubines clearly did not recognize who this was, so she questioned him.

"This is Consort Yang!"

The other woman, after carefully examining the face of the person, confirmed that this must be the demoted Consort Yang.

But what puzzled the concubines and Chu Tianling was why the other party was here today.

Chu Tianling stared intently at the unexpected Lady Yang before him, pondering to himself.

"See the Emperor."

Ignoring the surprise and whispers of the other concubines, Consort Yang walked straight towards Chu Tianling. Although she was dressed simply, her bow was flawless.

However, there was a hint of determination in her eyes, as if she were about to do something big.

So before Chu Tianling could react, she pulled a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed at him.

"Consort Jiang!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Chu Tianling's eyes, but he was immediately interrupted by deep concern.

He never expected that at this critical moment, it would be Consort Jiang who stepped forward and used her own body to block the dagger that was meant to kill him.

Seeing the person being stabbed, Chu Tianling felt a sudden tightness in his heart for some reason, and then the pain became so intense that he could hardly breathe.

"Someone come here! Where have they all gone?!"

Even though Eunuch Sun should be nearby, assassins have appeared, yet he hasn't made a move.

Did Eunuch Sun betray him?
