In Fengzao Palace.
After Su Wanti left, the other concubines saw her peerless beauty, charming and delicate, and thought about how much favor the emperor had shown her in the past few days, while they themselves had not even had the opportunity to sleep with him...
I'm afraid that there will be no more opportunities to sleep with me in the future.
Thinking of this, the concubines all lost interest and looked listless.
"Forget it, let's go today." The queen spoke, and the concubines below stood up and took their leave.
The imperial concubine was preoccupied, so she slowly stood up and turned to leave. Before she left the front hall of Fengzao Palace, the queen's words drifted into her ears.
"This Concubine Wan is a very lucky person. She was made a concubine after serving the emperor in bed. The emperor really dotes on her and treats her with special favor."
The queen seemed to be talking to the palace maid Yuping beside her.
It sounded like just a casual chat, but these words hurt the imperial concubine's heart.
"Sleeping"
These two words were like two sharp knives, piercing into the imperial concubine's heart.
Her hands were clenched tightly, and her onion-like fingertips pricked the soft flesh of her palms, causing pain and leaving dark red marks.
Every time the emperor came to her palace, she would ask the palace maids to stay away from the inner hall and guard outside, not allowing anyone from outside the palace to stay.
Everyone in the palace said that her palace had the strictest rules—
That's because she was afraid that the palace people would find out that although she was a noble concubine and had the title of favorite concubine, she had never been favored by the emperor!
Every time the emperor came to her palace, he would just sit there and say a few words at first, but later he didn't say a word to her at all.
No matter how hard she tried, the emperor still had no interest in her.
"The Emperor and Concubine Su made love day and night without ceasing. The Emperor was in great pleasure, often bursting into laughter, while Concubine Su kept moaning incessantly, her voice piercing the bones. It could be heard outside the palace, and all the palace ladies knew it all night long."
This is the information Bai Lan found out.
With just a few words, the imperial concubine knew that the little bitch was actually favored by the emperor!
She didn't understand why, and she didn't understand even more.
Her appearance and figure were no worse than Concubine Wan's, so why did the emperor touch that lowly woman but not her?
Bai Lan kept looking at the imperial concubine's face. She saw that the imperial concubine's face turned pale and she looked dazed.
She rolled her eyes and asked carefully, "Your Highness, are you all right? Are you worried about Concubine Wan?"
The imperial concubine gritted her teeth, "Yes and no, I just don't understand why the emperor wants her to sleep with him——"
Bai Lan had always been serving her closely, so she naturally knew the secret.
She leaned close to the concubine's ear and said mysteriously:
"Your Highness is still too naive. Your appearance and figure are no worse than Concubine Wan's. You are even more charming and beautiful than her. And she is just a shallow and ignorant little palace maid."
Her voice grew deeper.
"Do you really think, Your Majesty, that she has been favored for no reason? I heard there is a hidden reason behind this, and that Concubine Wan is using some shady tactics."
The imperial concubine widened her eyes and listened carefully. Bai Lan's voice was like poison, bewitching her mind.
"I heard that she used the love fragrance."
No explanation is needed, just listen to the name and you will know that this cassia incense is a rare aphrodisiac. It is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and made of excellent materials. It can burn out and not even a trace of ash can be found afterwards.
The imperial concubine was surprised, "How could a little maid like her get this?"
Bai Lan whispered, "Of course someone helped. Your Highness, think about it. When she gained favor, who benefited and who suffered? What was the expression on the face of the higher-ups when you were favored before?"
The imperial concubine's beautiful eyes flickered as she shook her head gently, "But when she asked me to teach Concubine Wan, wasn't she asking me to deal with that little bitch?"
Bai Lan's eyes darkened. "Your Majesty, you fought with Concubine Wan, but who gained the most?"
The imperial concubine touched her chest, looking slightly startled.
At this moment, Bai Lan's eyes gleamed, and she whispered, "Don't worry, Madam. If she can get the Hehuanxiang, we can get it too. When the time comes—"
Her hands made a grasping motion.
The imperial concubine understood that if she could get the Hehuan incense, she would also be favored by the emperor and receive his great favor.
She was silent for a moment, and then her eyes were burning with desire.
Su Wanti's sudden favor had already stimulated her so much that she had no time to calm down and think carefully.
She just wants to go faster and faster, she wants to be a true imperial concubine!
"Bai Lan, you are free to take any treasures from my palace, as long as you can get that sweet acacia fragrance as soon as possible."
"Yes, I will fulfill my mission."
Bai Lan lowered her eyes to hide the gleam in them. In the sunlight, the dark red scabby wounds on her face were shocking.

Su Wanti followed Kang Yu, and they came to a luxurious and exquisite palace.
Above the palace, the three large gilded characters "Weiyang Palace" are dazzling and brilliant.
Kang Yu smiled and said, "Empress Wan, this Weiyang Palace was granted to you by the Emperor. It has a great location, being closest to the Ganxiao Palace where the Emperor resides."
Su Wanti also had a smile on her face, and was very satisfied.
She breathed a sigh of relief. She finally had a place to live. She didn't have to be with Leng Hong all day and all night without a break.
Everyone had smiles on their faces and walked into the Weiyang Palace in a few steps.
The Weiyang Palace was built in a magnificent, exquisite and gorgeous manner.
The door is hung with crystal bead curtains, the windows are covered with cloud-like gauze.
The furniture is all made of golden nanmu wood, and the utensils are all made of jade and glass...
Even Kang Yu and Hai E, who had accompanied the king since childhood and had seen countless treasures, were amazed and dazzled.
Inside the Weiyang Palace, two rows of thirty palace maids stood respectfully in the inner courtyard with their hands lowered, waiting for Su Wanti.
Seeing Su Wanti and others coming in, the leading aunt Qingzhi hurried over to greet them.
After she politely bowed to Su Wanti, she said, "Your Majesty, everything in the palace is ready. You can move in anytime."
Hearing this, Su Wanti's smile grew even wider. She nodded, "Then let's do it now!"
Kang Yu and Hai E were both imperial servants, so they could not stay in the Weiyang Palace for long. After a while, they both took their leave.
Su Wanti walked around in the magnificent Weiyang Palace and was very satisfied.
She was about to go to the bedroom to take a look when she heard Kang Yu's voice again, "The Emperor has arrived!"
Su Wanti's heart trembled, and before she could react, Leng Hong had already strode in.
"My beloved, let's go to the bedroom and take a look!"
The palace maids around her all lowered their heads and hid their laughter. Su Wanti was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
