Chuxiu Palace

Doctor Li came back and said, "Reporting to Concubine Lan, I have already told Concubine Wang that the dragon fetus is not safe, and asked her to make preparations early."

Concubine Lan nodded in satisfaction. "Okay, you did a great job. Meng'er, take Doctor Li down to claim the reward!"

Meng'er said, "Doctor Li, please follow me."

Meng'er took Doctor Li away.

Concubine Lan asked Shen Changzai, "Sister, what do you think we should do next?"

Shen Changzai smiled slightly and said, "My queen, we don't have to do anything from now on. We just have to watch the fire from the other side of the river."

Concubine Lan said in disbelief, "Sister, what you mean is that Concubine Wang will... give the child to..."

Shen Changzai said, "Don't worry, Madam, she will not only do this, but she will also use the death of this child to push it onto others~"

Concubine Lan exclaimed, "Then I must be careful, lest Noble Wang throws dirty water on me!"

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Concubine Wang's target is not you." Shen Changzai pointed out the situation.

"Oh? How do you mean?" Lan Fei asked

Shen Changzai said, "Your Majesty, do you know that beggars don't envy the emperor, but envy beggars who are better off than him!"

Concubine Lan suddenly realized, "I understand. Even if she can successfully give birth to a prince, her momentum may not be able to overwhelm me. On the contrary, she covets Song Qingwan, who is also a noble lady like her and is favored by her!"

Shen Changzai nodded, "Yes! Your Majesty is right!"

"Hahaha, that's great~ Without any effort, I can let Concubine Wang kill the baby in her belly, and I can also get rid of Concubine Yu at the same time. It's really the best, hahaha"

Shen Changzai saw that fine lines appeared at the corners of Lan Fei's eyes when she smiled. It was true that time was passing by unforgivingly.

night

During the days when Xiao Rui was out of the palace, memorials had piled up into a mountain. After staying up for several nights in a row, he finally managed to resolve them.

Just as I stretched my legs, someone from the Jingshifang came in holding a sign.

"Your Majesty, are you going to flip the cards again tonight?" the eunuch asked with his head down.

Although I know that the emperor may not change his mind, I still have to go through the necessary procedures.

Xiao Rui glanced at the sign held by the eunuch and casually flipped through the name of Concubine Ru. It seemed that he had not seen Concubine Ru for a long time.

The eunuch saw that the emperor finally turned over the card tonight, and he could not hide his joy. His work was finally completed. "I will take my leave~"

Jiahe Palace

Xiao Fuzi came to pass on a message, "Empress Ru, the emperor has turned over your name card tonight, you should prepare early!"

After hearing this, Concubine Ru's face turned from gloomy to bright, and she pretended to be happy and said, "Okay, I understand, you can leave now."

Xiao Fuzi complained again in her heart, how come Concubine Lan is so much more generous than Concubine Ru, even though they are both concubines! It would be better if the emperor turned over Concubine Lan.

But then again, how young is Concubine Ru?

After Xiao Fuzi left, Concubine Ru breathed a sigh of relief, wondering what excuse she could use to avoid this disaster tonight.

I have used it before when I had my period, and I have also used it before when I caught a cold. If I happened to be busy every time and couldn't sleep with the emperor, how could the emperor believe it? But if I told the truth, how could the palace accommodate a concubine who couldn't sleep with the emperor...

Some were happy and some were sad. Cheng'er, who was standing aside, secretly vowed that she must seize this opportunity tonight. The emperor would come to Jiahe Palace again, but she didn't know when it would be!

Cheng Er closed the door and said to Concubine Ru, "My lady, I am here to help you dress up."

Concubine Ru found it funny looking at the hypocritical Cheng'er. She knew that she couldn't sleep with him, but she still pretended to dress up for him.

Cheng Er combed Concubine Ru's long hair with a wooden comb and asked tentatively in a low voice, "Have you thought about what to do tonight?"

Concubine Ru said calmly, "Now that we are here, let's make the best of it."

Listening to what Concubine Ru said, it seemed that she was still unwilling to honor herself... What Shen Changzai said was indeed right. Concubine Ru would rather anger the emperor than let the people around her get away with it.

As he was thinking, he accidentally hurt Concubine Ru.

"Ah!" Ru Fei screamed in pain

Cheng Er quickly came to her senses and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please forgive me...I didn't mean it!"

"Forget it, get up." Ru Fei said

How could she not know what Cheng'er was thinking? Just now in the mirror, she saw Cheng'er looking worried.

She was just testing me, wanting me to recommend her so that she could become a powerful person. It seemed that what Shen Chang said was indeed right. Just now, I did not give Cheng'er a satisfactory answer, and she lost her mind and hurt herself.

The two people began to distrust each other and were suspicious of each other.

A voice of "The Emperor has arrived!" disrupted the two people's thoughts.
