Chapter 145 Deliberate Interception

Xu Lanshan said softly again, "Your Majesty, please don't leave now. It's troublesome to go back and forth. Why don't you stay here with me?"

Emperor Yuan Yong sensed something was not right. Could it be that Lan'er was trying to win favor?

Xu Lanshan was a little surprised, "Your Majesty..."

Seeing her so pitiful, how could he blame her? He smiled helplessly: "I don't want to bother with this anymore, let's just rest here! Don't get up, I'll come after I change my clothes."

"yes!"

Xu Lanshan smiled, watched him go out to change clothes, and pondered for a moment.

In fact, letting him go was the safest option. At least Concubine Yu would be less dissatisfied with him. But Xu Lanshan also felt that since the hatred had already been aroused, a little more or less would not make much difference. It would not hurt to provoke Concubine Yu a little more.

At least judging from the emperor's attitude, he seems to be quite caring towards her. Nanny An'er and Xiao Fuzi just left not long ago, and the emperor came here without any delay at all!

So if I were to have a fight with Concubine Yu, even if the Emperor didn't completely side with me, at least he wouldn't let Concubine Yu bully me, right?

Xu Lanshan couldn't wait to ask for gifts from the palace fighting system, which offended Concubine Yu. She would not accept it if she didn't get something good.

Fortunately, the system rewarded her quite generously. Her hearing, vision, and body resistance to cold all reached 100% perfection. Her sense of smell, resistance to toxins, and flexibility were also greatly improved.

There is also an extra gift package, which increases the storage space to 50 cubic meters and includes two pregnancy-maintaining pills.

Xu Lanshan was very surprised by the gift of space, but what the hell is a pregnancy-preserving medicine? Is it good or not? Why did they give her this thing?

Based on her experience, she was afraid that this thing might be needed in the future... To be honest, she didn't want to!

Emperor Yuan Yong arrived soon. Xu Lanshan raised her eyes and smiled at him: "Your Majesty!"

Her charming expression and watery, affectionate eyes were particularly touching. Emperor Yuan Yong smiled and embraced her: "Are you still dizzy?"

Xu Lanshan shook her head gently: "I feel much better now. I think it's because the emperor has come!"

Emperor Yuan Yong chuckled happily, "I think so too. Well, go to sleep."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yuchan turned off the light and quietly retreated. The small enclosed space separated by the brocade curtain was particularly warm.

It was late at night, and Xu Lanshan had just complained of feeling dizzy. Emperor Yuan Yong was naturally not so beastly as to want to engage in harmonious exercise. He held her in his arms, said some intimate words, and then they fell asleep together.

Emperor Yuan Yong whispered to Xu Lanshan with a smile, "If Lan'er misses me in the future, just send someone to Ganyuan Palace to tell me as soon as possible. I will definitely accompany Lan'er, understand?"

Xu Lanshan was stunned. So, did he know that she had deliberately acted up tonight to snatch him away? How could he not be angry...

Why does the tone sound a bit smug and proud?

Xu Lanshan knew he had misunderstood. Although she was risking her life to win favor, she was fighting for it to survive, not to die. If it weren't for this broken system, she wouldn't have been so hypocritical to provoke Concubine Yu and challenge his thoughts.

By the way, she was really lucky that things went so smoothly!

Thinking of this lucky success, Xu Lanshan felt a little uncomfortable. Was she really being favored? Did he really like her and support her?

Xu Lanshan had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but obviously she wouldn't say them out loud. She just nodded obediently and said "hmm..."

Emperor Yuan Yong was satisfied with this and smiled and reminded him, "Remember?"

"Yes, I will remember it!"

The next morning, word spread throughout the harem that Consort Yu of Baohe Palace had been snatched away by Consort Chen Zhaoyi, sending all the concubines into an uproar.

Did Concubine Chen Zhaoyi actually possess such abilities? Did this mean that she had surpassed Concubine Yu and her position in the Emperor's heart had surpassed Concubine Yu's?

This, this is too incredible!

For her, the emperor didn't even give face to Concubine Yu?

You know, before, the emperor always valued Concubine Yu the most. Even if Concubine Shu had a son, he was not as favored as Concubine Yu!

In addition to her background, no matter how favored Xu Lanshan was, no one ever compared her with Concubine Yu.

But who knew...

Everyone was shocked to realize that wasn't Concubine Lian also Concubine Lian before? Concubine Lian's background was even better than Concubine Yu's! If Concubine Chen Zhaoyi could match Concubine Lian, why couldn't she match Concubine Yu?

Although Lianpin's own death was partly to blame, it also shows that Chen Zhaoyi is capable of competing for the position of concubine!

But I didn't expect that... she pulled down Concubine Lian, and now it's Concubine Yu's turn...

Concubine Yu was so angry that she couldn't sleep well last night. She expected that many people would discuss this matter today, so she ordered the palace maids and eunuchs to go out and inquire early in the morning and report back whatever they had.

The palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to hide anything and told them everything they had found out.

Concubine Yu became increasingly furious, gritting her teeth in Baohe Palace: "Who the hell does Xu Lanshan think she is? I won't let her go!"

Unfortunately, that night, Emperor Yuan Yong was reviewing memorials very late, so he did not enter the harem and stayed in the Qianyuan Palace. This was equivalent to not even giving Concubine Yu any compensation.

Concubine Yu was not only angry, but also aggrieved!

She has never suffered such injustice in her life!

The next day, when paying respects to the Queen, Concubine Yu deliberately waited for Xu Lanshan halfway. When the two met, Concubine Yu's eyes seemed to be poisoned as she stared at Xu Lanshan coldly.

Xu Lanshan expected Concubine Yu to find trouble, but she didn't expect her to intercept her halfway.

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty Consort Yu!"

"Heh!" Concubine Yu sneered, looking down at Xu Lanshan who was squatting in front of her, with no intention of calling out to her.

Xu Lanshan simply stood up and said, "Empress Yu, I dare not delay in paying my respects to the Empress. If you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

Concubine Yu, however, sternly rebuked her, "Did I tell you that everything was alright and I told you to leave? How dare you, a mere Zhaoyi, be so disrespectful in front of me? Have I been too indulgent with you on a daily basis? That's why you're so overbearing in front of me! Bai Rong, slap me in the face and teach Zhaoyi Chen some proper manners!"

Concubine Yu raised her eyebrows and sneered proudly, "If Concubine Chen is not convinced, you can go to the Empress or the Emperor to complain, and I will take over!"

Even if she taught Chen Zhaoyi a lesson, so what? Her father and brother both served in the army and were generals that the emperor relied on. Could it be that the emperor would deny her face just because of Chen Zhaoyi, a former palace maid?

Bai Rong obviously thought so too. She responded respectfully, stepped forward and raised her hand to hit Xu Lanshan in the face.

How could Xu Lanshan be willing to suffer in vain?

He raised his hand to block Bai Rong's hand.

If Concubine Yu could do something like this, why couldn't others? The so-called competition for favor depends on one's own methods. If you lose, it's because you're not as skilled as the other. In this palace, if you're not as skilled as the other, you just have to accept it. What's there to say?
