After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

Soon Lanxiang came over with an exquisite green brocade box, bent down and handed it to the queen.

The queen slowly opened the lid of the brocade box, and a string of vermilion beads came into view.

"This is a red jade bead necklace that was sent as tribute from a foreign country. I think its color is youthful and cheerful. I'm afraid it's too bright for me to wear, but it's very suitable for you."

As the Queen spoke, she looked at Concubine Qi with a smile.

Concubine Qi was so excited that her mouth was almost stretched to her ears with joy.

Concubine Qi couldn't wait to stand up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Her Majesty!" Then she reached out to take the green brocade box handed to her by the Queen.

She opened the brocade box and reached out to pick up the red jade bead necklace. It felt very good, smooth and delicate, and extremely luxurious. Lady Qi looked at the red jade bead necklace with her eyes shining. "This is really a rare treasure. I like it very much."

"Since it is a reward from the Empress, I will naturally wear it every day." As she said this, Concubine Qi put it carefully around her neck.

This move was exactly what the Queen wanted. This was the effect she wanted. She even felt it was too late to reward Concubine Qi with this string of red jade beads. Fortunately, she showed no signs of pregnancy during these days since she entered the palace.

Even if she got pregnant, she wouldn't be able to keep the baby if she wore the necklace. The Queen was secretly proud of herself, thinking that Concubine Qi was really easy to control.

"As long as you like it, there will be many good things as long as you follow me well. It will not be difficult to help you gain the favor of the emperor." The queen said with a smile, while thinking about the next task to be given to Concubine Qi.

"I will always follow the Queen. Please give me more guidance. Only then will I have a better future."

"Very good, I will certainly not treat you unfairly, but... your current situation is very dangerous..." The Queen sighed.

Concubine Qi frowned slightly. She didn't understand what the Queen was referring to or why she was in danger.

"Forgive my stupidity. Please give me some advice, Your Majesty." Concubine Qi said softly.

The Queen sat upright and spoke solemnly, "I have carefully analyzed the situation for you. Among the concubines in the palace, your status is not very high. In terms of offspring, you have not yet conceived. However, Concubine An and Concubine Hui are both pregnant with dragon offspring, and Concubine Xi has a son and a daughter, and they are very favored. As for Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing, they are both senior concubines in the palace, and the Emperor will naturally not treat them unfairly."

She paused, looked at Concubine Qi with sharp eyes, and continued, "The only ones who are close to you in status and pose a greater threat to you are Concubine An and Concubine Hui. In this harem, the rule of mother's status is based on her son's status has always been followed. You should know these principles well without me saying more."

Concubine Qi showed a trace of helplessness on her face, and replied softly: "I understand, I also want to give birth to a child for the emperor, but my belly is really not doing well."

There was a hint of resentment in her tone, and at the same time, a feeling of jealousy towards An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang surged in her heart.

The queen sneered in her heart, thinking: "With your strength, are you worthy of having the emperor's child?"

But she still maintained a serious look on the surface, and said solemnly: "It's good that you understand this. As long as Huipin and Anpin give birth to princes smoothly, Xi Guifei will definitely plead with the emperor and request to promote them to the position of concubines. By then, your situation will become even more difficult, alas..."

"Ah, really? Doesn't that mean they are two levels higher than me in rank? They even have children. What can I use to compete with them?"

Concubine Qi said angrily with her eyes wide open. She bit her lips tightly and clenched her hands into fists, as if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction.

Then, the expression on Concubine Qi's face became ferocious, and there was a hint of cruelty in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your guidance. I understand."

She was secretly thinking about how to deal with this situation, with a determined light in her eyes.

The queen smiled and nodded, and said with a look of relief: "I am only speaking the truth and thinking of you. Go back and think about it carefully." Her voice was soft but firm, making people feel an invisible pressure.

Concubine Qi slowly stood up, adjusted her skirt, and then bowed deeply to the Queen.

She whispered, "Well, I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, she turned and left, her steps steady, powerful, yet a little hurried.

After Concubine Qi left, the Queen sat quietly on the chair, looking in the direction where Concubine Qi left.

The corners of the queen's mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible and strange smile. This smile seemed to hide some conspiracy and calculation, which made people shudder.

in a few days

Concubine Qi stood in front of the window of her luxurious bedroom, stroking the window frame and gazing at the scenery outside. The cold of winter was about to fade away, and she felt that spring was approaching, and her mood became even better.

She finally came up with a brilliant idea to get rid of the babies in Concubine An and Concubine Hui's wombs and eliminate the threat they posed to her.

Concubine Qi was extremely satisfied with her plan. She was secretly proud of herself and felt that she was so smart.

She intended to carry out her conspiracy through an extremely secretive yet effective means. She carefully planned every detail, striving to make it perfect.

Her plan was to spread a trace amount of poison in the palace so that it would accidentally mix into the food of Concubine An and Concubine Hui.

This poison is called Yanhualu. It is colorless, odorless and difficult to detect, but it can cause delayed miscarriage in pregnant women. As the name suggests, it is a drug that can induce miscarriage, and the effect of the drug is extremely slow, and it will take five days after drinking to take effect.

In this way, even if someone suspected something, it would be difficult to find evidence because too much time had passed. Moreover, she knew that the medicine would only take effect after five days, so during this period they had eaten many other foods and would not be discovered and traced back to her.

Concubine Qi thought the plan was perfect and no one would have thought her methods were so insidious.

She couldn't help but chuckle, and there was a sinister air in her laughter. Her eyes flashed with a cunning light, as if she had already seen the moment of her success.

Concubine Qi bit her lip lightly, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. She believed that as long as she acted according to the plan, everything would go as she wished.

She was looking forward to seeing the painful expressions on Concubine An and Concubine Hui's faces, and looking forward to seeing their despair after losing their children.

This idea filled her heart with joy, and she decided to take action as soon as possible to make this plan a reality.
