In other words, Zhu Xianyue may not only become the queen in the future, but also the empress dowager.

If they don't agree now, then when Zhu Xianyue climbs higher and higher, they won't even be able to save their lives.

After weighing the pros and cons, the two had no choice but to agree.

The reason is that both of them are afraid of death.

…

After settling the affairs of the Zhu Mansion's inner quarters, Zhu Xianyue embarked on the journey to become a concubine in the palace.

By eliminating the Zhu Mansion, she was also cutting off her own foundation.

From now on, you will be a person without anyone to rely on.

The palace has high walls, and once you enter, you can never come out.

After getting off the sedan chair, Zhu Xianyue had to walk to the Yangxin Palace to pay a visit to Mu Qingshen as a sign of respect.

"Your humble servant Zhu pays homage to His Majesty!"

Zhu Xianyue knelt down, but before she could finish her formal ceremony, she was helped up by Mu Qingshen.

"No need to be polite. Yue'er, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

He held her hand, warm and strong.

Zhu Xianyue smiled shyly, saying everything without saying a word.

Although there are many women in Mu Qingshen's harem, most of them are from bannermen families, have low positions, and are not very favored.

The only one who can compete with Zhu Xianyue is Concubine Hui Li Zhihui.

Li Zhihui is the niece of the late Queen Mother and Mu Qingshen's cousin.

She and Mu Qingshen have known each other since childhood, and can be considered childhood sweethearts.

She is five years older than Zhu Xianyue and has ruled the six palaces for many years.

If she had been childless, given her background and experience, she would definitely have become the queen.

It is reasonable for Zhu Xianyue to go and pay a visit to Li Zhihui first.

Coincidentally, Li Zhihui also has important matters to report today.

Mu Qingshen summoned Li Zhihui into the palace.

Li Zhihui plodded to her knees and said, "I am deeply grateful to the Emperor for his grace. When the imperial physician came to check my pulse today, he discovered that I am two months pregnant!"

"Get up quickly."

Mu Qingshen still cares a lot about the issue of offspring.

Now, Zhu Xianyue's situation seemed a little awkward.

She is the person predicted by the abbot to give birth to a son for Song Dynasty.

But now the legitimate Concubine Hui is pregnant.

Her existence seemed meaningless.

Seeing the joy in Mu Qingshen's eyes, Zhu Xianyue sensibly remained silent.

Li Zhihui wanted to take the opportunity to lean on Mu Qingshen's arms and say sweet words.

"Your Majesty, you and I have known each other for many years, and now I am pregnant with your child. This is God's arrangement, and I cherish this blessing..."

"Your Majesty, do you still remember..."

Li Zhihui is clearly declaring sovereignty.

——I am the emperor’s childhood sweetheart, and now I am pregnant. My status is much higher than yours, the Xiang Fei who came from the common people.

But Li Zhihui didn't know that she and Mu Qingshen had known each other since childhood, but Zhu Xianyue and Mu Qingshen had known each other since childhood! They were inseparable!

It was Zhu Xianyue who cured Mu Qingshen's infertility.

Mu Qingshen is a loyal person who values ​​friendship and loyalty.

Since he had promised not to let Zhu Xianyue suffer any injustice after entering the palace, he would do his word.

So when Li Zhihui came over, Mu Qingshen grabbed Zhu Xianyue's hand.

"Yue'er, you must have been exhausted from the long journey."

"I have ordered people to repair the Yongshou Palace for you."

"Go and rest first. I will come to see you tonight."

Yongshou Palace is the palace closest to the Yangxin Palace in the Forbidden City.

After Zhu Xianyue accepted the order and thanked him and left, Li Zhihui hid the jealousy in his eyes.

Fortunately, she was pregnant, which was something Zhu Xianyue could not compare to.

Mu Qingshen doesn't like women getting too close to him, and every visit to Li Zhihui is just a "routine".

Now seeing Mu Qingshen's unwavering expression, Li Zhihui didn't dare to get close.
