I was happy for a while.

Turning to Madam Lin, he said, "Go and check all the things I asked you to pack before. Make sure they're ready; you'll need them sooner or later."

Guan Xiuyu was in a great mood. No matter how much a princess was treated, she couldn't compare to a princess. Tian'er was a lucky child.

Seeing him smile, Madam Lin also felt better.

Suddenly she remembered something, "Oh, right, my husband, Consort Lan in the palace wants me to come to the palace."

Guan Xiuyu frowned upon hearing this, "Why did she want you to go to the palace?"

"I don't know," Lin said, shaking her head.

Lin Shi had little interaction with this concubine's younger sister-in-law, because Guan Xiuyu disliked this Consort Lan, and neither did the old lady.

Guan Xiuyu thought for a moment and said, "Alright, go and see for yourself. If she asks you to do something, don't say a word. Come back and discuss it with your family."

"Don't worry, my husband," Lady Lin replied.

In Consort Lan's palace.

At this moment, a bowl of dark, murky medicine was placed in front of Guan Lanzhi.

The personal maidservant dismissed everyone before speaking in a low voice, "Your Highness, this is far too risky. What if something goes wrong..."

"What should I do if I don't do this? There's no 'what if,' no absolute 'what if.'" Guan Lanzhi clutched her stomach, her face pale.

Despite wrapping her abdomen with silk, her belly was still quite noticeable.

The second prince's attempt to seize power failed completely; he was simply demoted to a commoner and imprisoned.

If things continue like this, the baby in her belly will become a secret.

She considered pretending the child was the emperor's, but she hadn't even seen the emperor in a while, so how could she pretend? Even the second prince, who was full of confidence, failed.

She really didn't dare to gamble.

As for the palace maid who knew the inside story, she was dealt with immediately after the maid lost her child.

Only the dead can shut up forever.

Just as Consort Lan finished drinking the medicine, there was a sudden commotion at the door.

"Oh, what are you doing here?" Lady Qin and Consort Xian walked in.

"Is Consort Lan ill? What illness does she have?" Consort Xian asked with a smile as she looked at the bowl of medicine in front of her.

Consort Lan was startled, and forced a smile. "Your Majesty the Empress, Your Highness the Noble Consort, it's just that I'm not feeling well. Thank you for coming to visit me."

She clearly gave instructions not to let anyone in, so how did these two get in? Did they discover something?

"Hey, you don't look too well. Oh, by the way, I've brought you an old acquaintance that you'll definitely want to meet."

Consort Xian's smile was genuine; Guan Lanzhi dared to harm her daughter, and she would never let her die so easily.

"Guan Suyi!"

The moment Guan Lanzhi saw the person who had arrived, her eyes widened.

"What are you doing in the palace?!"

Looking at Guan Suyi, who was just as stunningly beautiful as she had been back then, Guan Lanzhi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

“We had arranged to play cards with the Duchess, and since you sisters are like sisters, we thought it would be nice to come and see you all. It seems that Consort Lan doesn’t welcome us.” Consort Xian felt quite pleased.

This woman actually dared to harm her daughter, so naturally she wanted to see her suffer. Killing someone is like killing their spirit; destroying their spirit is the best approach.

Guan Suying's face was expressionless, even as calm as usual. "I came here to ask you a question: why do you hate me so much?"

She then learned that Guan Lanzhi had colluded with the Zhang family to harm her, her son, and her husband.

"Hahaha, Guan Suyi, how dare you ask that? We're both daughters of the Guan family, so why? Why did you have everything from birth, while I have nothing?"

Guan Lanzhi looked at Guan Suyi with jealousy, "Just because I'm an illegitimate daughter? Just because of your face?"

Guan Suyi looked at her and said, “But don’t forget, your mother schemed against my father to have you. Even so, when have your father and mother ever mistreated you in the slightest? You have everything I have. Even when you said you wanted to enter the palace, although I was unwilling, I still agreed to it and did my best to help you get the rank of concubine.”

Otherwise, how could Guan Lanzhi be Consort Lan?

"I thought entering the palace was a good thing, that I would be a high and mighty empress, but do you know what? The emperor has never even touched me. I've been in the palace for so long, and I'm just a joke, a complete joke! I clearly love General Chang, so why? Why is this happening?!"

Upon hearing this, both Lady Qin and Consort Xian were taken aback.

Goodness, the sister-in-law has fallen for the brother-in-law!

"You take care of yourself."

Guan Suyi suddenly didn't want to say anything more, so she got up and left.

Guan Lanzhi was laughing when she suddenly burst into tears, and blood seeped from her body.

"Sister, I regret it. If I could do it all over again, I would never scheme against you again, and I would never hurt you again."

Throughout her life, one wrong step led to another, but there was one thing she never regretted: falling in love with General Chang.

Unfortunately, we never knew that person from beginning to end.

Qin Niangzi went out and grabbed Guan Suyi's hand, saying, "When a person is about to die, their words are kind. It was their own choice. Don't listen to them anymore. Let's go."

Consort Xian pinched her handkerchief behind her, feeling a sour taste in her mouth.

She and Guan Suyi are clearly good friends. Can you two please consider that she's also a sister to you?

Madam Qin turned around and urged, "Hurry up! What are you standing there for? There's another place to go!"

The next place is the palace of Consort De.

After the Second Prince was deposed, Consort De, Xuan Yuan Hongye, merely ordered her imprisonment, without even revoking her title.

Just treat him as an insignificant person.

"I never expected to see you again. Are you here to see me off on my journey?"

In just a short time, Consort De looked extremely destitute and aged, and was no longer the serene and elegant woman she once was.

Qin Niangzi clicked her tongue twice, "No, I just came to see the joke."

"Qin Xiaoyun, you..."

Consort De was about to get angry when she suddenly laughed, "That's right, you're not the Qin Xiaoyun you used to be. The Qin Xiaoyun of the past had love in her eyes and heart, which is why she was unwilling to explain and died so resolutely."

"Hahaha, poor Emperor, you'll be a lonely man for the rest of your life, and you'll never be able to love him again, hahaha..."

Lady Qin looked at her as if she were an idiot. "The love of an emperor is for the country and its people. I understood that long ago. It's you who have been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist prayers your whole life and still can't understand it."

"Hahaha, yes, emperors have no love, none at all."

Consort De laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up, like a madwoman.

Consort Xian spoke up, saying, "Aren't you going to ask your son?"

Consort De stopped laughing, touched her hair, and said, "What's the point of asking? What does it matter whether one lives or dies?"

She was nothing more than a pawn in the Zhang family's game, as was her son. What's there to ask?

……

……

After Lin Shuyun entered the palace, she heard from Lady Qin and said, "Indeed, those who achieve great things are ruthless, ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to themselves."

Consort Lan wasn't much of a character, but Consort De was definitely a ruthless person.

"Yunyun, let's go. We've eaten the melon. Let's go out of the palace and have some fun at the hot spring resort." Madam Qin took Lin Shuyun's hand.

The chickens she brought were half taken by that old bastard Xuanyuan Hongye, so she took the hot spring estate reserved for the emperor.

Just as the two were about to leave, Eunuch Wei arrived.
