"Nothing much. My subordinates are disobedient, so I give them a warning." The nanny said while bowing her body and gently moving her feet to block the bloody scene behind her.

"Oh? Really? I want to see who made Madam so angry." As she said this, Concubine De was about to step forward, but was stopped by Madam.

"Your Majesty, please don't look at them. They are just a bunch of lowly servants. It would be bad if they dirty your eyes."

"How come I can't even look at it?" Defei ignored the nanny, let Zhuxi push him away and walked straight past.

Seeing Concubine De coming over, Wang Jin and Li Jingui felt like they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"The servant Wang Jin pays respects to the Empress Defei, and the servant Li Jingui pays respects to the Empress Defei." The two said in unison. It was obvious that Wang Jin's face was a little pale compared to Li Jingui.

Li Jingui! Hearing this word, Concubine De's nerves also tensed up! Isn't this the person she is looking for! She didn't say anything, but looked at her quietly.

"stand up."

After hearing Concubine De's order, Li Jingui slowly stood up, but kept her head down.

"You all go down, Li Jingui stays."

"Yes."

After hearing the order from Concubine De, the nanny naturally did not dare to disobey, but she still had doubts in her heart. Why would a dignified Concubine De look for an insignificant little palace maid? What could be the important matter? Although the nanny withdrew, she still looked back every three steps.

After everyone left, there were no more strangers around. "Are you Li Jingui?"

"Yes, it is me." Li Jingui said with her head down.

She didn't know why Concubine De came to see her. She had been working diligently in the Old Summer Palace. Could it be that she knew about that night? If so? Then...

Suddenly, the idea that a mother could gain status through her son came to Li Jingui's mind. Perhaps, she could make use of this Empress Defei.

Li Jingui inadvertently puffed out her belly. Yes, it naturally attracted the attention of Concubine De.

"Are you pregnant?" Defei walked forward with her eyes wide open and whispered.

"Empress Defei, Empress Defei, please spare my life. I am pregnant. I am pregnant with the prince's child." Li Jingui knelt down and cried.

The thing that Concubine De was most worried about happened. Although she had thought about it in her mind, now that the facts were in front of her, she didn't know what to do.

"Get up."

Although the nanny and several palace maids had retreated, they were hiding not far away, watching Li Jingui kneel down and cry, but they didn't know what happened. But Wang Jin could guess a little bit.

"Tell me, what will Li Jingui say to Concubine De!" The nanny looked at Wang Jin viciously.

Everyone knew that Wang Jin and Li Jingui were good sisters. As soon as the nanny spoke, everyone's eyes turned to her.

"Madam, I don't know." Wang Jin said innocently.

"You don't know? You are so close to Li Jingui, how could you not know?" The nanny continued to question.

But Wang Jin knew that this secret could not be told. Now, he didn't know what Defei's attitude was, so he had to take it one step at a time.

Concubine De looked at Li Jingui's belly and shook her head helplessly.

"Take good care of this child. I will also find a way to protect you. If you are lucky enough to give birth to a boy, it is not impossible for you to enter the palace and become a concubine or princess."

After hearing what Concubine De said, Li Jingui pretended to squeeze out a few tears and quickly knelt down.

"Thank you, Madam Defei. Thank you, Madam Defei."

On the surface he seemed so pitiful, but all this was exactly as she wished. In just one night, she used the child in her belly to transform herself into the master. Naturally, every servant would be willing to do this, even if it meant risking their lives.

However, will the Empress Defei, who can be added to the harem as a concubine, really do as she wishes? Even the Nian family, who had made great military achievements, could not escape the calculations of the Empress Defei, let alone a little palace maid.

Concubine De looked to a distance and her eyes met with the nanny hiding behind a tree.

"come here!"

Mammy hurried forward, and the others came out from behind the tree and followed a few steps forward.

"What does Empress Defei want?"

"From now on, you have to take good care of Li Jingui's every meal. She is pregnant now. If anything goes wrong, I don't know whether you can save your head or not." Defei looked at the nanny and said unhappily.

Looking at Li Jingui's appearance, I know that the nanny often bullies her. This is not a big deal. The important thing is not to hurt the baby in her belly. This is what Concubine De values.

"Yes, yes, yes. I know." The nanny replied quickly, with her head bowed very low, like a pug.

"Where does Li Jingui live?" Defei asked again.

"Your Majesty, Li Jingui lives with these palace maids on a daily basis, there is no difference. She has thick skin and tough flesh, unlike the ladies in the palace, Your Majesty, who have a body of gold." The nanny said with a smile, her words revealing her disdain for Li Jingui.

"Well, let Li Jingui live in Penglai Prefecture first. It's quiet there, and she can rest and take care of her baby. You can assign one or two more people to take care of her. But you must personally take care of her three meals a day."

As she said that, Concubine De changed Li Jingui's residence. This was also to protect the baby in her belly. If the child was envied by other palace maids, it would be hard to say whether she could be born or not.

Li Jingui looked at the nanny who had just scolded her with words, and she was very proud. She stared at the nanny, full of ridicule. She thought that the nanny would not have a good life before she gave birth.

Defei arranged everything in detail and left. Li Jingui also went to the house to pack up and prepare to move to Penglai Prefecture.

Now that she was pregnant, it was no longer a secret, and she would not have to worry about the child's name. Instead, she would become a phoenix on the tree. After a few months, she would become the master. Naturally, she would show off her belly everywhere.

There are people who dislike her, and naturally there are also people who start to fawn on her and flatter her.

"Tsk, isn't it just a baby? I don't know how some people get this baby. How despicable."

"That's right, don't you see what kind of person you are? How could the prince like her?"

Several young palace maids were whispering. Li Jingui had already expected someone to say that, so she didn't pay much attention.

Wang Jin was an impatient person and would not allow anyone to speak like that about Li Jingui.

"Tsk, what are you mumbling about? You are so good-looking, why don't you seem to be pregnant with the prince's child? You are so capable, why don't you try to get pregnant? If you are capable of becoming the master, I, Wang Jin, will serve you!"

Wang Jin stood up and cursed.
