Chapter 197 Threat

It was this kind of belief that things would become more beautiful the more she thought about it that supported her and made her plan all that in a crazy way.

She was trembling with fear, walking on thin ice, but she didn't expect that because of her caution, her plan would succeed in the end!

Concubine Lin's plan was indeed successful, but it's a pity... Concubine Chen's luck was just too good!

She had such a loyal palace maid by her side that she would rather hold Concubine Chen in her arms and fall down the stairs together, blocking most of the damage for Concubine Chen and protecting her belly.

Concubine Chen actually just had a minor miscarriage, and after a few days of rest, she was fine!

No, she turned a disaster into a blessing. The emperor promoted her to the rank of Imperial Concubine Chen and doted on her even more...

If this continues, the entire harem will be useless.

But no matter how unwilling Lin Fei was, she would never dare to take any action at this time.

Now she was just thankful that Dong Zhi had not found out about her.

At the same time, the fact that Dong Zhi hadn't found out about it also gave her great confidence...

Concubine Chen was lucky this time, but that might not be the case next time. There's still a lot of time left. Once a new person enters the palace, it will be easier to find opportunities to stir up trouble.

Concubine Lin is ambitious, full of fighting spirit, and devoted to planning.

How could she have imagined that Concubine Shu actually knew everything!

She knew everything, but said nothing, only told her...

I'm afraid she will never be able to escape from Concubine Shu's clutches in this life.

Lin Fei felt a little desperate...

After scolding her enough, Concubine Shu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Alright, we are family now. From now on, you don't have to be too reserved in front of me. Stand up and take a seat."

"Yes..." Lin Fei dragged her legs numb from kneeling and stood up with difficulty, then sat down like a wandering soul.

Seeing her like this, Concubine Shu couldn't help but sneer: "Where was your courage when you were plotting against Xu Lanshan? Why are you like this? Don't put on airs in front of me!"

Concubine Lin froze, lowered her eyes and whispered: "I dare not..."

"Hmph, you'd better!" Concubine Shu said coldly, "Don't reveal any clues when you leave Jingyuan Palace."

"yes."

"I have something for you to do. Don't be nervous. Don't worry, I'm not impatient and won't ask you to deal with Concubine Chen right now."

"yes......"

It must be said that Concubine Lin heaved a sigh of relief. Asking her to deal with Concubine Chen right now was like asking her to die.

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "This palace wants you to make good friends with Concubine Bai."

Concubine Lin was stunned.

Concubine Shu: "Listen carefully, I want you to sincerely befriend Concubine Bai and care for her like a true sister. Concubine Lin, this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Concubine Shu never took Bai Pin, a quiet and honest fool, seriously. Even though she had a good relationship with Xu Lanshan, Concubine Shu still disdained her.

What's the point of making friends if you don't know how to benefit from it?

However, if you make friends with Baipin, it will be much easier to do something through her.

How could Concubine Lin have the right to refuse? She lowered her eyes and softly replied, "Yes."

Concubine Shu was satisfied and winked at Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "The tea in front of Concubine Lin is a little cold. I will change another cup for you."

Nanny Xu went out, and soon Rufang and Rurui came in to serve her, and Concubine Lin also had her cup of hot tea.

Concubine Lin and Concubine Shu were chatting and laughing, and after a while, Concubine Lin got up and said goodbye.

After she left, Aunt Xu was still a little worried: "Madam, will she listen to you? This woman is so cruel and scheming, I have misjudged her. I am afraid she is not an honest person..."

Concubine Shu was disdainful and sneered, "Just keep an eye on her. I have the upper hand over her, so I'm not afraid of her turning the tables. If she dares to disobey me, she'll be courting death."

Who doesn't know how much the Emperor values ​​Concubine Chen? Anything involving Concubine Chen will be thoroughly investigated by the Emperor.

Concubine Shu was in a complicated mood. After all, she had to rely on Concubine Chen to suppress Concubine Lin. Why was that?

February came in a flash, and the weather began to get warmer.

Xu Lanshan's belly was also slightly bulging, and it was obvious that she was pregnant when she walked, sat or lay down.

Emperor Yuan Yong would come over every two days at most, and whenever he came, he would stay overnight. He had always done this, and the Empress couldn't say anything even if she was annoyed.

After all, under her management, incidents occurred repeatedly in the harem. How could she have the confidence to control where the emperor stayed?

It can be said that Emperor Yuan Yong watched the child in Xu Lanshan's belly grow up little by little. He devoted more attention to this child and naturally cared about him more. When he was with Xu Lanshan, it seemed that he had endless things to say about the child.

When he came that day, the two of them were very intimate. Emperor Yuan Yong suddenly smiled and said, "Lan'er's birthday is at the end of February, right? What does Lan'er want?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lanshan immediately raised her head from her arms and looked at him.

Emperor Yuan Yong couldn't help but laugh at the slightly dazed look in the woman's eyes in his arms. He held her face and gently kissed her cherry-red lips. He laughed and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Can I still coax Lan'er? Tell me, what do you want? As long as I can give it, I will give it to Lan'er."

"No," Xu Lanshan smiled a little embarrassedly, her watery eyes looking at Emperor Yuan Yong with affection: "I was just, I was a little confused for a moment. I seemed to have forgotten when my birthday was, but the emperor remembered it! I, I am a little touched..."

Emperor Yuan Yong thought of her previous status as a palace slave whose only duty was to serve her master. How could she care about her birthday? It was normal for her to not remember such a thing at all.

Besides, he didn't always remember her birthday. The main reason was that the end of April was the Empress Dowager's birthday. The Ministry of Rites and the Shanggong Bureau submitted memorials to report on the progress of preparations for the Empress Dowager's birthday. On a whim, he asked Dong Zhi to check Xu Lanshan's file, and only then did he know that her birthday was at the end of the month.

It would be fine if he didn't know, but now that he knew, of course he wanted to do something for her and give her a gift.

He didn't expect her to be so moved, which made him feel a little guilty.

Emperor Yuan Yong's smile grew gentler. "From now on, I will celebrate Lan'er's birthday every year. How about that?"

Xu Lanshan smiled sweetly, "That's my great fortune!"

Emperor Yuan Yong laughed and urged her to tell him what she wanted.

Xu Lanshan thought for a moment, then smiled and sighed, "If I hadn't been pregnant, I would have wanted to ask the Emperor to take me out of the palace for a walk. We could have a good day and there would be no need to go back to the palace for a banquet. We could just have a meal at a restaurant outside. But now..."
