The metaphysics expert transmigrates one day and surprisingly becomes the real young miss who is not doted on by her father or loved by her mother.
How can she indulge their bad habits?
Perhaps it was because Yun Wanwan's expression didn't look peaceful at all. After walking a little further behind her, Ah Kui couldn't help but ask, "So, what happened just now that made the young lady unhappy?"
Yun Wanwan still shook her head and answered irrelevantly: "Where is Rong Chengxuan now? I have something to tell him."
Ah Kui's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. After all, Rong Chengxuan had just told her a few days ago that he would take good care of Yun Wanwan because he had angered her, and Yun Wanwan had been ignoring him for the past few days. Now Yun Wanwan looked so grim and wanted to go to her own prince. Could it be that someone had said something she shouldn't have, and now she was angry and wanted to tell the prince that she wasn't getting married!?
Ah Kui swallowed and said solemnly, "Miss, if you have anything to say to the prince, you can tell me first. Let's not do something irreversible because of a momentary impulse!"
Yun Wanwan looked at Ah Kui's hand, tightly gripping her arm. A hint of fear crossed her face, a look of solemnity. Yes, fear. Ah Kui was terrified.
Yun Wanwan knew that if she didn't explain things clearly to A Kui now, A Kui would probably not be willing to take her to find Rong Chengxuan.
Yun Wanwan looked around and saw that no one was around. She rubbed her brows and organized her words, saying, "I just calculated Concubine Shu's fortune. No matter how I calculated it, she was destined to be childless. Logically, she wouldn't be able to conceive. So I think there's something fishy about Concubine Shu's pregnancy, and I want to talk to Rong Chengxuan about it."
When Ah Kui heard that this matter had nothing to do with her own prince, and that Yun Wanwan still had to go to her own prince for help, she immediately let go of her hand, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell. "This servant will take the young lady to find the prince right away!"
But what Yun Wanwan didn't expect was that Concubine Shu would ask the palace maids around her to go to the imperial kitchen to get some snacks for her to eat in the palace, and they happened to be taking the same route as Yun Wanwan and A Kui.
She arrived late and happened to avoid the time when Yun Wanwan was circling around, but she also arrived at the right time and heard everything Yun Wanwan said to A Kui without missing a word.
She was a servant in Concubine Shu's palace, so naturally she knew about Concubine Shu's fake pregnancy. When she heard Yun Wanwan and the others even say that they wanted to find the imperial physician to take Concubine Shu's pulse again, she was completely panicked.
If the fact that Concubine Shu was faking her pregnancy was exposed, not only would her life be in danger, but even those who served under her would certainly not be able to escape.
She didn't even bother to go to the imperial kitchen to get some snacks for Concubine Shu. When she saw Yun Wanwan and A Kui turned the corner and completely disappeared from her sight, she quickly picked up her skirt and turned around and ran towards Concubine Shu.
When she told Concubine Shu about the conversation between Yun Wanwan and A Kui, Concubine Shu had been clenching her fists ever since she opened her mouth.
Finally, the palace maid asked, "My Lady, what should we do now?"
How could Concubine Shu know what they were supposed to do now? When she had decided to fake the pregnancy, the several doctors she had bribed were all on rotation today, and none of them were in the palace. If a doctor she hadn't bribed came to take her pulse, wouldn't her fake pregnancy be exposed?
As Concubine Shu was frantically pacing around, she suddenly glanced upwards and caught a glimpse of Su Yuanyuan. She immediately came up with an idea and told her maid to wait downstairs while she went up the stairs to look for Su Yuanyuan.
Su Yuanyuan was also surprised when she saw Concubine Shu. She looked behind her and found that there was not even a palace maid following her. She frowned and took a few steps back. After all, she didn't know whether Concubine Shu had any conspiracy by coming to see her alone.
Concubine Shu looked at Su Yuanyuan's actions and chuckled, but her feet still did not move, and she still stood on the edge of the rockery stairs, "Your servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen." Concubine Shu said she saluted Su Yuanyuan, but she still stood there and did not make any move to salute Su Yuanyuan.
Su Yuanyuan didn't care much about whether Concubine Shu saluted her or not, she just replied lightly: "Yeah."
Concubine Shu seemed to have just realized what was happening and said in surprise, "I am unable to move around and it is not convenient for me to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. I believe Her Majesty will not blame me, right?"
Su Yuanyuan took a look at Concubine Shu's belly. It wasn't showing yet, and Su Yuanyuan was able to climb such a high rockery by herself. She didn't look like she had any mobility problems at all. It was obvious that she made up this lie because she didn't want to pay her respects.
But she still had to keep up appearances. She just said, "It's okay. Why would I mind? My sister is pregnant with His Majesty's first child, so naturally I have to be more careful."
Concubine Shu finally took a few steps towards Su Yuanyuan and said, "That's true. After all, the Empress and I both know exactly how much this child means to Your Majesty."
The emperor who had no children suddenly had an only child, so this only child was his lifeline. If Ji Moyi still had only the child in Concubine Shu's belly in the future, regardless of whether Rong Chengxuan was willing or not, the position of crown prince would fall on the child in Concubine Shu's belly.
Facing Concubine Shu's provocation, Su Yuanyuan simply smiled faintly: "Of course I know, that's why I told Concubine Shu to keep a close eye on the child in your belly and don't let anything happen to him."
"That's natural."
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Shu cried out "Ouch!" and pretended to twist her ankle. She lost her balance and fell backwards. A short female scream was followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"thump!"
The palace maid who was waiting for Concubine Shu at the bottom of the rockery screamed "Ah!" when she saw who was rolling down the stairs.
When the palace maid came to find Ji Moyi, Ji Moyi was discussing the details of Rong Chengxuan and Yun Wanwan's wedding with Rong Chengxuan in the study.
When Ji Moyi heard that something happened to Concubine Shu, he could no longer sit still. He didn't care what happened to Concubine Shu, but she was still pregnant with his child. Ji Moyi was going to Concubine Shu's palace, and Rong Chengxuan naturally accompanied Ji Moyi.
As soon as he walked out of the study, he ran into Yun Wanwan who was looking for Rong Chengxuan. Yun Wanwan saw that Ji Mo was in a panic, and with Rong Chengxuan by his side, it seemed that something big had happened.
"What happened?" She knew that time was tight and that Ji Moyi and Rong Chengxuan might not have the time to stop and watch her complete the etiquette, so she asked directly.
