After hearing this, Concubine Shen panicked and pushed Prince Anling away.

He said anxiously, "Get up quickly, get up quickly, there are people outside."

Prince Anling stood up reluctantly, muttering, "Who is this person who suddenly comes over to ruin my good deeds? Yuan Yuan is not outside, why don't you stop them?"

The two of them got up from the bed and put on their clothes in a hurry.

Outside

Zhenzhu was guarding outside without leaving, but Concubine Qing and her men had already arrived.

Zhenzhu bent down and saluted Concubine Qing. "Your servant greets Concubine Qing...May your Majesty be blessed with good health!"

Concubine Qing asked, "Why are you outside? Aren't you serving your young mistress? Where is Concubine Shen?"

Faced with Concubine Qing's three consecutive questions, Zhenzhu was flustered and lowered her head to reply, "My lady...My lady is inside, why did the queen come here suddenly?"

Concubine Qing smiled faintly and said, "Princess Anling has not come to the palace for a long time. I took some things from the palace and came to see her."

"Why, isn't Princess Anling here?"

Zhenzhu stuttered, "My lady, she was invited to Quxin Pavilion by the princess. Now the princess has gone to get something... There is no need for anyone to serve inside, so I will leave first."

Imperial Concubine Qing hummed and said to Ying'er beside her, "Open the door. I will go in and wait for the princess."

Zhenzhu stood in front of the door, unwilling to give way, but when Ying'er came and pushed the door open, she couldn't find an excuse to stop her.

It was not until Ying'er pushed open the door that Zhenzhu could not help but yell, "Empress Qing!!"

Concubine Qing looked back at her suspiciously. "What's the matter?"

Pearl was speechless and said, "No, it's okay..."

She hurriedly looked at Concubine Qing's clothes, squatted down and said, "Your skirt is dirty, let me help you wipe it!"

Concubine Qing looked down and said, "It's okay. We can ask the laundry department to clean it later. You can get up now."

After saying this, Concubine Qing walked in.

The two people in the house had already heard the noise outside.

After Prince Anling had packed up, he simply jumped out of the back window, so when Concubine Qing came in, she didn't notice anything unusual.

When Concubine Shen saw Concubine Qing coming, she bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to Concubine Qing."

Concubine Qing sat down and said, "Hurry up and get up. Why are you being so polite to me?"

Noble Lady Shen sat back uneasily, perhaps because she felt guilty and was afraid that Noble Lady Qing would find out something.

Her face was flushed, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her head. I don’t know if it was because she had just experienced sex, or because Concubine Qing was sitting opposite her, she was too nervous...

After sitting for a while, Concubine Qing asked, "What did Princess Anling go to get that took so long?"

Concubine Shen said unnaturally, "Oh, she went to get the hairpin. Princess Anling said that she had a hairpin that was the same as the one on my head, and she wanted to compare it to see if they were a pair."

Concubine Qing responded, "Well, then you wait for her here. Since she's not here, I'll leave first."

"Ying'er, just ask someone to put the things down."

Ying'er: "Yes."

When Concubine Shen heard that Concubine Qing was leaving, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. If she stayed here, she was always afraid that Concubine Qing would find out something.

"Your Highness is greeted with a respectful farewell!" Concubine Shen said confidently as she stood up with her head held high and her chest puffed out.

But as soon as he stood up, Concubine Qing saw through his flaw.

When Imperial Concubine Qing first arrived, Concubine Shen kept her head down and listened obediently, and didn't notice anything strange. But when she stood up straight, Concubine Qing noticed that there seemed to be a button missing on Concubine Shen's chest.

After just a few more glances, Concubine Qing left without saying anything else.

Although Yuan Yuan created an opportunity for the two to be alone, she really didn't want to see them having a secret affair, so she went out for a walk.

It was this departure that angered King Anling again.

After returning to the palace, Prince Anling scolded Yuan Yuan.

"Do you know that because of your leaving without permission, I was almost discovered! If I had been discovered, do you know what the consequences would be?"

Yuan Yuan remained calm as King Anling scolded her.

"Why don't you speak? Is it because you created opportunities for me that I should not scold you but be grateful to you instead? Huh?" King Anling looked at Yuan Yuan in silence and became even angrier.

Yuan Yuan then said, "No, I just felt stuffy and wanted to go out for some fresh air."

"I didn't know that Concubine Qing would come here suddenly..."

Prince Anling looked at Yuan Yuan with resentment on his face. "Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore."

He muttered, "I did manage to jump out, but I don't know how Lin'er is doing."

Yuan Yuan felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, and asked bitterly, "Is the prince worried about Concubine Shen?"

Prince Anling turned his head and saw Yuan Yuan's red eyes. He remembered that he had told her, "I approached Concubine Shen just to use her."

After a pause, he said, "No."

"If she is discovered, our affairs will naturally be exposed, so I am worried that the matter will be leaked. Don't think too much about it."

Yuan Yuan looked at King Anling with a serious face, and she accepted it even if he was lying to her. At least she was willing to lie in order not to get angry.

"Okay, I understand."

Prince Anling patted Yuan Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I heard that Concubine Qing sent a lot of things to the palace. Just keep them for yourself!"

Yuan Yuan: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiwu Palace

Concubine Shen leaned lazily on the couch, showing no interest in anything.

While rubbing her shoulders, Pearl said, "My lady, we haven't been out for a while. Don't you feel bored? I feel bored too."

Shen Guiren was bored and said, "What's the point of going out? I don't know where to go, let alone what to do."

Pearl pouted and said, "The young lady has been staying in the house all day, and she looks worse than before!"

Shen Guiren touched his face and said, "Oh? Really?"

Zhenzhu looked at Concubine Shen and said, "Not only that, the young lady not only looks a little worse, but her period has also been delayed!"

Concubine Shen sat up suddenly and asked in shock, "What?! Is my period delayed?"

Pearl nodded and said, "Yes, my lady, you should have come three days ago."

After hearing this, Concubine Shen couldn't help but recall what happened in Quxin Pavilion and Prince Anling half a month ago. It happened several times in a row... Could it be that she really won this time!

Before Concubine Shen could say anything, Zhenzhu was the first to react, "Wait a minute! My lady, you are not... pregnant, are you?"
