Chapter 260 Imperial Concubine 7

Ning Yan said frankly, "That's all for now. After all, there aren't many people in the capital who can catch my eye."

Actually, it mainly depends on Yang Mo. He really knows how to give gifts, and she really knows how to thank him!

Murong Yue heard himself grit his teeth: "Only temporarily?"

Murong Yue, one of the four noble young masters of the capital, had countless noble ladies who were fond of him. One day, however, he became someone else's lover, and one of them at that!

"Of course! If you guys suddenly feel that it's not worth the risk to accompany me and abandon me, I will naturally find someone else. The palace is lonely, and I don't want the emperor to touch me, so I will naturally find someone else."

The truth is always the most hurtful, and Ning Yan understood this. After she finished speaking, she was about to get up and have someone escort Murong Yue away, but he stopped her.

Ning Yan: ...No, what kind of weird habit is this? Do we have to rush it all day? Is it really more exciting this way?

This night was destined to be an extraordinary one. Ning Yan had barely watched Murong Yue leave when the palace became lively. Someone came in to report, "Your Majesty, Consort Qing is bleeding heavily. Should we go and see her?"

Ning Yan had anticipated this, otherwise she wouldn't have urged the man to leave earlier. She used a cleansing talisman, changed her clothes, and went to Qingfei's Lanyue Palace.

The Lanyue Palace was bustling with activity. Consort Qing was screaming and crying incessantly, and the Emperor, who should have been there, was nowhere to be seen.

Several imperial physicians were covered in sweat. Consort Qing's child could not be saved, and they were terrified that if the emperor gave the order, they would be buried with Consort Qing's child tomorrow.

"Wasn't Consort Qing perfectly fine at the banquet? How could she have lost her child?"

She pointed at Consort Qing's personal maid and shouted, "Speak, or don't blame me for dragging you away and beating you to death immediately!"

The palace maids in Consort Qing's palace were afraid of dying. The emperor was still in the side hall, and her mistress was in excruciating pain, so she spilled everything.

It turned out that after the Emperor sent Consort Qing back, he originally planned to sit for a while and then leave, but Consort Qing insisted on keeping him. The two of them didn't know what they were thinking, but they ended up in bed together after chatting for a while.

The Emperor was unusually aroused tonight, calling for water three times in a row. The third time, it hadn't been finished after half an hour. The servants were frightened and came in to remind him, but the Emperor didn't listen at all, and that's how it ended up like this.

But that wasn't the end of it. The emperor was startled by the sight of blood. After regaining his senses, he grabbed a palace maid and went to a side hall, cursing the bad luck in the process.

The concubines who also got up to watch the spectacle: ...So, does the Emperor have a thing for pregnant women?

Otherwise, why would they be so unrestrained?

Upon hearing this, Ning Yan immediately said in a deep voice, "This is not normal, Physician Chen, you should quickly check if there is anything wrong in Consort Qing's Palace."

Physician Chen got up and began to examine Consort Qing's diet. Sure enough, he found the medicine for three people a day in the teapot.

Everyone automatically filled in the blanks in their minds, unanimously believing that Consort Qing must have used drugs to seduce the Emperor in order to gain his favor, but unexpectedly the Emperor drank too much, and she reaped the consequences of her own actions.

Now that the problem has been identified, Ning Yan didn't want to stay any longer and directly informed the concubines: "After all this trouble, I need to go back and catch up on my sleep. I'll skip the morning greetings tomorrow."

After saying that, he returned to the palace.

...

When he woke up, it was almost noon. According to the servants, Zhao Cheng had been causing trouble in the side hall of Lanyue Palace for three hours, and had only stopped after messing with three palace maids. The imperial physician took his pulse and said that he was a little weak, so he prescribed a lot of medicine.

Subsequently, Consort Qing was banished to the Cold Palace.

Ning Yan recalled a saying: "The show begins at its peak, and ends in one night."

"Has the Emperor granted official titles to the palace maids who have been favored in Lan Yue Palace?"

Gui Ling shook her head. "His Majesty couldn't even attend the sacrificial ceremony today. The Prince of Nanling replaced him, and he's still unconscious right now."

Upon hearing this, Ning Yan scoffed, "What did the imperial physician say?"

"They said that taking the medicine for a period of time would help me recover."

Well, he won't have any more children anyway, so let him recover as much as he wants.

"Your Majesty, would you like to go and see the Emperor? The other concubines are all guarding the Chaoyang Palace."

Chaoyang Palace was Zhao Cheng's sleeping quarters.

"They are guarding him because they want something from the Emperor. I don't want anything from him, so I don't care whether he lives or dies."

Guiling knew that her mistress disliked the emperor, otherwise she wouldn't have done such a rebellious thing. But shouldn't she try to behave well in front of the emperor the more she did that?

Otherwise, what if the Emperor neglects the Empress?

"Silly girl, why would the Emperor bestow the title of Consort upon your lady when he has never even met her?"

"It's because of our Marquis."

"Don't you understand this perfectly? The reason I can run rampant in the harem is never because of myself, but because I have a good father!"

As long as Father is alive, I can do whatever I want!

So, why should I, this empress, bother to curry favor with that scoundrel?

Even if Zhao Cheng were to catch her in bed with another man one day, he would have to think twice before rashly deposing her. Would Marquis Dingyuan lead an army of 300,000 to directly attack the capital?

In his past life, it was only because Marquis Dingyuan was too loyal that the emperor framed him and he obediently surrendered. Otherwise, his family would never have ended up like that.

Zhao Cheng didn't wake up until it was getting dark. As soon as he moved, he felt sore all over. Yang Mo quickly stepped forward to help him up. "Your Majesty, be careful. You're finally awake. The imperial physician has prescribed medicine for you. This servant will have it brought to you right away."

"How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been about six hours."

With Yang Mo's help, Zhao Cheng sat up, but couldn't help but hiss softly, "Damn Consort Qing, just banishing her to the Cold Palace is too lenient on her!"

The eunuch outside had already brought in the medicine. Yang Mo helped Zhao Cheng drink it. "If Your Majesty doesn't mind, I'll give you a massage. That should relieve some of the aches and pains."

Zhao Cheng snorted, and after finishing a large bowl of Chinese medicine, he was no longer hungry, even though he hadn't eaten all day.

He simply knelt down and let Yang Mo massage him. This new eunuch was quite good at serving people, and he had become somewhat dependent on him.

"By the way, aren't the concubines from the harem here?"

"The Grand Eunuch was afraid that their noise would disturb the Emperor's rest, so he asked all the ladies of the palace to go back."

The young eunuch standing at the door: He remembered that it seemed that Brother Yang and the Grand Eunuch said that too many concubines were too annoying and would wake the Emperor, so the Grand Eunuch sent them all away.

Zhao Cheng didn't ask any more questions; having too many women can indeed be quite annoying sometimes.

Before long, he had no time to think about anything else. Yang Mo's massage was so comfortable that after half an hour, most of his discomfort had disappeared, and his stomach was empty. Yang Mo then had someone bring him food. After eating and drinking his fill, Zhao Cheng felt like he had come back to life.

She also thought of her son, who was hidden outside the palace, and her beloved.

His white moonlight was a commoner woman he met when he was still a prince and went out of the palace. He had never seen such a gentle and considerate woman, so it didn't take long for him to have a passionate night with Xu Xiaohui.

Thank you so much, Big Eyes, for the 1500 Qidian Coins!
