This is really weird!

The woman before him ignited his primal desires more than any woman he had ever been with.

Chu Yuan's special circumstances caused panic among many in the harem.

Qiu Tong has advised the Empress countless times, "Your Majesty, what good is it if she is favored? If she can't conceive, once the Emperor gets tired of her, won't she be at your mercy? Just like Consort Fang before, she's been sick for so long, the Emperor has probably forgotten who she is, hasn't he?"

The Empress's eyes were gloomy, and a low-pressure atmosphere enveloped her.

She never imagined that Emperor Xian of Wei would one day be captivated by beauty!

The key point is that Lu Xueyuan was previously inconspicuous and looked no different from the other "good-for-nothings". Who knew that in just one month, she would have become so skilled!

To be honest, she was indeed much more beautiful after losing weight, but the Empress knew that Emperor Wei Xian's exclusive favor for Chu Yuan was not just because of her beauty; there must be some other reason behind it.

"You're right. Right now, Consort Xin is the more troublesome one. As for Consort Ying... I'll deal with her when I have time!" After thinking for a long time, the Empress made up her mind and then asked Qiu Tong, "Well, have you found anything amiss with Consort Xin?"

The Empress was an impatient person. Even though Qiu Tong told her that she could wait until Consort Xin gave birth to the child and then have the mother leave the child so that the Empress could raise it, which would not only show the Empress's magnanimity and love, but also give her another child to solidify her position as Empress, she was still not very willing.

"I have three women, that's enough for me. I don't like raising other people's children!" the Empress said disdainfully. "How many women in history have met with bad ends after raising other people's children? As the saying goes, you can't raise an ungrateful wretch. You waste your time and effort, and in the end, you're the one who suffers. If I can't give birth myself, I'd rather not have any. Do you understand what I mean?"

Qiu Tong pursed her lips, "Your Majesty, this servant understands!"

She lowered her voice slowly, "A servant came to report that His Majesty had just gone to the Chaoxia Palace and hadn't even settled in yet when the Qilin Palace sent a maid to fetch him, saying that His Majesty had a stomachache. His Majesty was initially reluctant to go, but after being persuaded by Consort Ying, he is now on his way to the Qilin Palace with Consort Ying by his side."

The Empress snorted coldly, "The Emperor really takes her everywhere he goes these days!"

Qiu Tong's eyes flickered. The Empress said she wasn't jealous, but in reality, she was more jealous than anyone else.

She could only kindly correct the Empress, "Your Majesty, Consort Xin has used the excuse of a stomachache to curry favor with the Emperor several times, perhaps thinking that she will eventually succeed. After all, our Emperor is lacking an heir. But now the Emperor is taking Consort Ying with him. Do you think Consort Xin will be upset when she sees her, and then accidentally have an accident?"

"Furthermore, based on my observations these past few days, I have a bold guess, but I don't know if I should say it?" Qiu Tong's expression was both rambling and unusually excited.
