Chapter 98: Defense

Now the rumors about Song Yuning's seductiveness have decreased a lot, but they have not disappeared completely. If he wants to be open and honest with Song Yuning in the future, he still needs to have children with someone else.

Therefore, the well-behaved and sensible Gao attracted Xiao Yunzhan's attention. After consulting the imperial physician and learning the date when Gao was most likely to conceive, Xiao Yunzhan chose to go to Gao's room and spend the night during that period.

Sure enough, Gao became pregnant soon. When Xiao Yunzhan did this, he did not hide it from Song Yuning, and Song Yuning knew the whole process.

She also agreed with Xiao Yunzhan's approach. It was impossible for her to be the only child in the palace. Instead of letting someone else give birth, she would rather have Gao Shi. At least Gao Shi seemed very obedient now.

As for whether having a child would give rise to other thoughts, Song Yuning was not afraid.

Concubine Feng had been sitting at the bottom, listening to the conversation between the Queen and Song Yuning. She knew that the Queen was trying to get her a child.

Originally, there was a smile on her face. As long as Song Yuning was not doing well, she would be happy. But who knew that Song Yuning would actually tell her such news.

That bitch Gao is actually pregnant!

Concubine Feng tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes full of jealousy and resentment.

Ever since she married into the palace, she has been trying her best to please the prince, but the prince has always been indifferent to her.

Now, in the backyard, apart from Song Yuning, the prince only has three women: her, Guo and Gao. The prince has always been fair and each woman can only sleep with him for one day every month.

However, except for the wedding consummation, every time the prince came to her room, he would just fall asleep and never touch her. She knew in her heart that the prince's behavior clearly showed that he had no interest in her.

So she sent someone to secretly investigate the situation of Guo and Gao, and found out that the prince never asked for water every time he went to their room.

In other words, the prince treated them the same way he treated herself. This news made her feel a little relieved, but at the same time she felt extremely lost.

After all, as a woman, she hopes to gain the prince's favor and attention.

Today, her aunt, the Queen, criticized Song Yuning herself, which gave Concubine Feng a glimmer of hope.

She thought her chance had finally come, but unexpectedly, Gao was pregnant, and Concubine Feng felt increasingly depressed.

The Queen hadn't expected this either. After a moment's pause, she quickly said, "That's really good news. I'll go back and get some medicinal herbs to reward her. I'll ask Gao to take good care of her pregnancy and give me a grandson."

When the child is born, the Emperor and I will both reward you handsomely."

Song Yuning stood up and saluted, with a smile on her face. "Yes, I would like to thank the Queen Mother for the reward on behalf of Gao."

The excuse she had come up with was blocked, so the queen naturally didn't want to continue talking about this topic. She said a few words to Song Yuning and Concubine Feng. Then a palace maid came in and reported that all the concubines had arrived.

The banquet in the palace was still the same as usual, and the food was all cold.

However, what surprised Song Yuning was that Concubine Yun had learned her lesson now. She no longer made things difficult for Song Yuning and Xiao Yunzhan. She just treated them as air and ignored them completely.

New Year's Eve ended quite uneventfully.

After leaving the palace and getting into the carriage, Song Yuning told Xiao Yunzhan what happened today.

"The Queen is probably anxious, but that's normal. Without huge benefits, how can you attract her?

She is now looking forward to Feng giving birth to a son as soon as possible." Song Yuning saw the queen's anxiety.

Xiao Yunzhan hummed softly, and with his arms he held Song Yuning tightly in his arms. His right hand gently stroked Song Yuning's waist, then slowly moved to her abdomen, gently kneading it twice.

He said softly, "Even if we are anxious, we have to wait until the time is right. Right now, the emperor is in good health, and the rivalry between my brothers is just in secret. It's not time for a showdown yet.

Besides, we are about to have our own child. Until the child is grown up, I will never let the Queen be satisfied.

Although the queen appears to be gentle and kind to everyone on the surface, I have witnessed her cruel and ruthless side. All the women in the harem are hypocritical.

If Feng really gets pregnant and gives birth to a boy, then you and our child will definitely become a big concern for the Queen, and she will definitely try her best to get rid of you.

I will never give her such an opportunity to hurt you and your son, so you don't have to worry about Feng's matter, I already have a plan to deal with it."

Feeling the warmth in Xiao Yunzhan's hand, Song Yuning raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a satisfied smile. She was still very satisfied with Xiao Yunzhan's favoritism.

She didn't ask for much, just the way things are now. She didn't care how many children he had, but their children must be the most important in his heart.

After waiting for a while, Song Yuning frowned slightly and said with some worry: "From the Queen's appearance, it seems that she is very concerned about this matter. I'm afraid she will do something."

Xiao Yunzhan nodded, agreeing with Song Yuning's opinion: "You don't need to worry about me. The methods used in the backyard are nothing more than drugging and the like. I am not worried. It takes so long to conceive a child. Even if you conceive, there are many ways to prevent the birth.

I'm just worried about you. When you enter the palace in the future, you must bring Ah Wu with you. She is not only skilled in martial arts, but also knows all kinds of poisons. With her by your side, I can feel more at ease."

There are naturally many secret medicines in the palace that can make people die without knowing it, or make people infertile without a trace. These are not difficult to do.

At this moment, the queen seems normal, but who knows if things will change next?

Ever since Concubine Feng entered the palace, whether the Queen was willing or not, from the outside world's perspective, they had become people in the same boat.

However, Xiao Yunzhan does not need real help at the moment. He still has time to wait. After the Prince of Pingyuan and Lu Zhixing become powerful, he probably won't need the Queen's support anymore.

The Queen will certainly be anxious, so be on guard against her.

Song Yuning had already taken precautions against this and tried her best to avoid the tea and snacks in the Queen's Palace.

After returning to the palace, Song Yuning immediately gave the medicinal herbs given by the queen to Gao, and the news of her pregnancy quickly spread throughout the palace.

Although Guo and Gao lived in the same place, they each had their own independent courtyard. When Guo heard the noisy noise coming from next door, she sat alone in the candlelight and angrily tore her handkerchief beyond recognition.

Of course, she was not the only one whose handkerchief was torn. Concubine Feng's handkerchief also suffered the same treatment.
