"Bitch Liu has already taken away the favor that His Majesty has bestowed upon me. When she gives birth to a prince for His Majesty, will there still be a place for me in the harem?

I must kill her and the baby in her belly!"

Concubine Wan kept roaring, and comforted herself in her heart: The reason why His Majesty dotes on Liu Ruyue so much is all because Liu Ruyue is pregnant.

As long as he could get rid of the baby in Liu Ruyue's belly, His Majesty would not dote on Concubine Yue as much as he does now.

By then, I can become the most favored woman in Queen Zhao's palace again!

Thinking of this, Concubine Wan took out a small box and took out the miraculous abortion medicine that she had prepared when she first entered the palace.

Over the years, no woman in Empress Zhao's palace had ever become pregnant. Concubine Wan had wanted to throw this thing away several times, but she never expected that it would come in handy now...

On the second day, Concubine Wan, who had put the abortion medicine in the sachet, got up early and went to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to the Queen, just waiting for Liu Ruyue to come and pay her respects so that she could cause her to have a miscarriage.

In order to make the abortion drug more effective, Concubine Wan arrived early on purpose, hoping that more of the abortion drug in the sachet on her body would flow out and the concentration of the abortion drug in the air would be higher, so that she could make Liu Ruyue have an abortion a few days earlier.

However, when she arrived, all the concubines in Kunning Palace were present, and each of them was looking towards the door.

Everyone was tacitly waiting for the Emperor's favored Concubine Yue to come and pay her respects to the Empress.

However, after waiting for a long time, all she got was the Empress Dowager sending someone to inform the Empress that Concubine Yue was pregnant and seriously ill, so she was exempted from all the greetings.

The Empress who was slapped in the face again in public: Well, this palace’s face is not a face. I was slapped once last night and again this morning!

She tried hard to force a virtuous smile on her face, but in her heart she was roaring: I want Liu Ruyue to die, I want her to die!

Concubine Wan, who had prepared the miraculous abortion medicine and was about to harm Liu Ruyue, said: I have prepared everything. Now tell me that the bitch will not come.

Are you kidding yourself?

Concubines: We really wanted to see how Empress Wan and Concubine Yue would make things difficult for Concubine Yue, but now Concubine Yue is not coming at all. Is this show still worth watching?

Well, I got up early this morning for nothing.

If I had known this earlier, I would have used the excuse of being unwell and continued to sleep in.

**

Liu Ruyue knew that if she didn't go to pay her respects, those people would definitely be disappointed and would be even more aggressive against her in the future.

But there is nothing she can do about it, because she now holds the most powerful man and the most powerful woman in the entire Zhao State in her hands at the same time.

With the two of them as her backers, Liu Ruyue is indeed qualified to be arrogant because of her favor.

Instead of hypocritically interacting with those women, it is better to hold your own two thick thighs.

"Mother, you are so kind to Yue'er. Yue'er is just a little tired. Please don't ask Yue'er to pay her respects to the Empress. The last person who treated Yue'er this well was Yue'er's mother."

Pretending to be well-behaved, Liu Ruyue spoke with emotion.

Don't look at the Queen Mother's strong character, but she has always wanted a delicate and gentle daughter in her life. Now Liu Ruyue's performance is simply the perfect daughter in her mind:

"What's the big deal? You're pregnant. You're a hero to our Great Zhao State. You should rest well. Why are you asking for respect?"

"But, Mother, is it really okay for Yue'er not to pay her respects?"

A hint of worry appeared on her well-behaved face, and Liu Ruyue spoke with some fear.

Seeing Liu Ruyue's expression, the Queen Mother felt distressed and consoled her, "It's okay. The Queen has always been magnanimous and virtuous. She won't have any thoughts."

Holding Liu Ruyue's hand, the Empress Dowager said earnestly, "Yue'er, I exempted you from paying respects to the Queen, not only because I'm afraid you'll be tired, but also because I want to protect you.

This harem is not like Jingzhou. Every woman has a cunning heart. You are simple-minded and are no match for them. I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will fall into their trap and hurt you and your unborn child..."

"But, mother, aren't all the concubines in this harem your majesty's? We are all sisters. Why would they want to harm me?"

Liu Ruyue pretended to be ignorant and tried her best to play the role of a simple, harmless and obedient daughter.

"Hey, our Yue'er is just a simple person..."

Hearing Liu Ruyue's question, the Queen Mother revealed a helpless yet doting expression, and said like a mother: "Don't worry, in the future, I will slowly teach you and protect you..."

When saying these words, the Queen Mother felt full of accomplishment: She was right, Yue'er was born in the common people, in a small and harmonious family, and had never experienced those intrigues. She had a simple mind and did not understand the struggles between women in the palace at all.

However, with her old bones around, she would definitely teach her slowly, protect her, and protect the country of Great Zhao...

Sensing the subtle sense of achievement in the head's tone, Liu Ruyue's smile became more sincere: In interpersonal communication, showing weakness appropriately and creating opportunities for the other person to help oneself can help bring the two people closer together and make the other person want to protect oneself.

The current Queen Mother is full of protective desire towards her...

"Emperor, I heard that you woke up a quarter late this morning?"

As soon as Emperor Zhao finished his morning court session, he rushed back to Weiyang Palace where Liu Ruyue lived.

As soon as he entered the door, he was questioned by his mother.

When Emperor Zhao heard this question, he remembered how he tossed and turned in bed last night, unable to sleep, wondering whether he liked Liu Ruyue or not.

Because I thought about it too late, I slept in a little in the morning.

But the Queen Mother doesn’t know!

Seeing the Emperor Zhao's guilty silence, she immediately said to him angrily, "Your Majesty, you finally had a child. Now is the critical time for Yue'er to get pregnant. How could you act so recklessly?"

Liu Ruyue, who was standing by, saw the Queen Mother blaming Emperor Zhao, and she immediately looked away, as if it was none of her business, and lowered her head to eat snacks.

"Mother, I didn't..."

Emperor Zhao felt that he was not fooling around and opened his mouth to explain.

However, the Empress Dowager was the champion of the previous palace fight. She had been in the position of Empress Dowager for many years and had long developed the habit of being strong.

Without waiting for Emperor Zhao to finish, he made the decision: "Emperor, you will return to Baohe Hall and live there. Wait until Yue'er gives birth to my grandson, then you can stay overnight in Weiyang Palace."

After saying this, he secretly glanced at Liu Ruyue who was eating snacks seriously, and whispered: "If you really can't hold it in, there are still the Queen and the others, you..."

“Mother!!”

Hearing the Queen Mother mention the Empress and others, Emperor Zhao instantly became anxious and shouted hurriedly. After shouting, he glanced at Liu Ruyue and saw that Jiaojiao was still eating seriously and not looking at them. He pulled the Queen Mother aside and said:

"Mother, Yue'er is pregnant with my child, and I'm sleeping with another woman. Aren't you trying to make her think too much and affect her pregnancy?"
