Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Zhou Xinyue was shocked and didn't know what to say, let alone dare to say anything.

Concubine Yan An Zhiyan was extremely furious when she heard this.

"If it weren't for Yaqin and the Fu family, I would have gotten rid of you long ago. I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles from Cangdu City to Zhiye City to meet you. Because no matter what, you are still a member of the Fu family. I didn't kill you because of the friendship with the Fu family."

Zhou Xinyue said timidly in a soft voice: "Thank you, Queen Concubine Yan, for sparing my life."

"You can never be a princess, and you can't stay in the palace. Do you understand?"

Zhou Xinyue quickly replied: "I understand. I understand."

"It's good that you understand. Don't think that you can become the princess just because you are pregnant with Rong'er's child. I'm telling you, don't be so wishful thinking."

"I dare not. I dare not."

"After all, you are not a real family member. You are just their adopted daughter. I spared your life to give the family some face, not because of the child in your belly. I have no shortage of women to give birth to my son. So don't try to use your unborn child to seize the position of princess. This time, I came here to warn you in person. If you dare to covet the position of princess, I will definitely make you beheaded and killed next time."

After Concubine Yan finished speaking, Zhou Xinyue said gently: "Madam Concubine Yan, can you please calm down and listen to what I have to say from the bottom of my heart."

Concubine Yan sat back in her chair, took a sip of tea from her cup, and said, "You say."

"In fact, I have never coveted the position of princess, nor do I dare to covet the position of princess. I don't like the palace life, and I don't like sharing a husband with others. Maybe you will think that I am jealous and unreasonable, Concubine Yan. But this is the fact. The husband I want only has me in his heart and eyes. I am his only wife. Although I am temporarily in the palace now, I just want to give birth to the child safely. I dare not dream of other things."

"But you know, this is not a matter of delusion or not, but my son is determined to push you to the position of princess. He has to do this. What can you do?"

"The woman will leave."

"leave?"

"Yes, leave! I will leave the prince and the palace!"

"really?"

"Really? Please believe me, Empress Yan."

Concubine Yan looked at Zhou Xinyue's sincere eyes and inexplicably felt a sense of trust.

"Okay, I believe in you. I'll give you one chance. How long will it take you to leave?"

"After I give birth to the baby safely, and after the confinement period, my body recovers, and the baby is a little older, I will leave."

"No. After you give birth to the child and finish your confinement, leave immediately and disappear from Rong'er's sight forever."

Zhou Xinyue looked at Concubine Yan, who was determined and refused to allow discussion. Her heart sank and she said, "Okay!"

Concubine Yan came over, bent down, and brought her originally extremely beautiful face closer. She said with a fierce look in her eyes: "I will trust you for once. If you don't leave the palace as agreed with me, I will show no mercy. I will tear you and this evil creature in your belly into pieces and grind your bones to dust."

"I know."

"Okay, then please remember what you said and abide by the agreement between you and me."

"There is one more thing, please help, Empress Jin Yanfei."

"you say!"

"Please, Concubine Yan, protect my mother and me, and save our lives before I leave. Let me give birth to the child safely until I leave the palace."

"Okay, I promise you. You no longer have to worry about your lives. I will keep my word."

"Thank you, Empress Yan."

Concubine Yan looked up at the servant beside her and waved her hand. The servant hurried over and threw a stack of banknotes in front of Zhou Xinyue.

Concubine Yan picked up the teacup again, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I am not a heartless person. After all, you have taken care of Yaqin's child for so long, and you are pregnant with a child for my son. Even if you have no merit, you have worked hard. You can use this money to support yourself. Whether you want to go out to do some small business in the future or go far away, you can decide for yourself. Just don't appear in front of my son again. Your children should not appear in the palace, and you can take them away when the time comes. Your children will definitely not have the right to inherit my son's glory in the future. My grandson must be from a big family. Even if it is Yaqin's child, I have to consider it now. The current palace is no longer as good as before. I have said so much today, I hope you will keep it in your heart. Abide by the agreement between you and me. Well, I will leave first, you take care of yourself."

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Farewell, Madam Yan."

Concubine Yan went to Li Yingying with the support of a group of servants.

As soon as they arrived at the courtyard and opened the door, Li Yingying knelt at the door and cried, "Greetings, mother."

Concubine Yan's expression changed immediately. She quickly helped Li Yingying up, her eyes revealing distress. She said, "Hurry up and get up. You are not in good health. Get up quickly."

Li Yingying was helped up, her face full of tears, and she kept crying.

Concubine Yan immediately took Li Yingying's hand and went into the house. Li Yingying cried while asking the servants to prepare delicious food and scented tea to entertain Concubine Yan.

Concubine Yan frowned and used her handkerchief to wipe Li Yingying's tears with heartache.

She said distressedly: "Don't cry, child. Mother knows that you have been wronged."

Li Yingying cried even harder, letting her hair down and lowering her head into Concubine Yan's arms.

Concubine Yan was touching Li Yingying's head when she suddenly noticed that her hair was uneven and very short in some places. Concubine Yan was shocked.

He asked, "Ying'er, what's wrong with your hair? How did it become like this? Some parts are long and some are short. Some parts are so short. How can you dress up and wear a hair crown?"

Li Yingying cried even harder.

"Son, what's going on?"

Li Yingying was crying so hard that she was out of breath. Concubine Yan couldn't comfort her no matter what she did. She had no choice but to call Li Yingying's personal maid to come over and ask about her situation.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

After paying her respects, the maidservant said aggrievedly, "That day, when I heard that the prince was injured, Concubine Li was very worried and wanted to go in to visit the prince. The servants under the prince said that the prince was not injured and was safe, so they sent Concubine Li and the master away. However, the prince did not show up for a long time. Many people outside came to discuss important matters with the prince but could not see him. It was all Concubine Li who handled them. As time went on, Concubine Li became more worried, fearing that the prince would encounter an accident, so that day the princess brought a few servants to open the door of the prince's Xuanji Courtyard. The prince saw it, and without saying anything, he swung his knife to chop off my master's hair bun, even the crown was chopped in half, and a lot of hair was chopped off. The Li concubine was frightened and fainted. Later, everyone knew that the prince, he, he was slightly injured and lived a loving life with the young lady surnamed 銆 behind closed doors, not wanting the Li concubines to disturb them. The prince might be angry that the Li concubine disturbed their loving couple's life, so he swung his knife at my master without caring about the Li concubine's face, and scared the young ladies."
