Chapter 96: Sisters in One Place
"Send someone to keep an eye on it."
"yes."
With no outsiders present, Shen Ruolan's face was extremely gloomy, and she gripped the cup even tighter.
Once there is a green branch, there must never be a second one.
Although she wasn't carrying the legitimate son, he was still the eldest son, so if the Crown Princess were to marry and give birth to another legitimate son later...
What status do your own children have in the household?
Moreover, when my elder brother, the Crown Prince, ascends the throne, he will have a harem of concubines, and since my appearance is not the most outstanding, there will inevitably come a day when I will be alone in my empty room.
Temporary favor is not a long-term solution; only offspring can secure that favor.
But in the end, that little hussy Qingzhi beat her to it.
You slut! You slut!
Shen Ruolan gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear Qingzhi apart alive.
No matter what, that bastard child absolutely cannot be kept.
But now there are only two people in the Crown Prince's harem, so she can't be the one to do it. Not only can she not do it, but she also has to take good care of them so that she can leave a good name in front of her Crown Prince brother.
Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to find a scapegoat.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruolan suddenly remembered what happened in the Yeting Palace.
It must have been Yuan Siyin who plotted against her, deliberately abandoning Qingzhi so that she, who happened to be passing by, would take her under her wing.
Yuan Siyin...
A plan suddenly popped into Shen Ruolan's mind.
Yu Yuanchao still has Yuan Siyin in his heart, and she knows this very well.
Rather than keeping him in suspense and hoping for the best, it's better to let him win the heart of the beauty.
Everyone in the capital knows Yuan Siyin's temper. With a temper like hers, it won't be long before her brother, the Crown Prince, gets tired of her.
At that time, I will secretly take action and make them both suffer heavy losses.
"Miss, the people in the side courtyard say that His Highness just left the manor in a hurry."
Xi Yue hurried in and answered him respectfully with her head down.
"They went out?"
Shen Ruolan raised her delicate eyebrows, her eyes sparkling with a smile as pure as spring snow. She casually picked up the golden butterfly fan and played with it. "Since Miss Qingzhi is not feeling well, please ask the doctor to take her pulse and prescribe a remedy to help her have a safe pregnancy. That way, we can feel more at ease."
Xi Yue naturally understood her meaning, and soon invited Qingzhi over.
After all, she was only two months pregnant and her pregnancy wasn't showing yet. If she hadn't accidentally stumbled upon this sordid affair, she didn't know how long she would have been kept in the dark.
Shen Ruolan gave a soft snort.
Qingzhi's face turned deathly pale. Seeing her made her feel like a mouse seeing a cat; her legs went weak.
If it weren't for the maidservant supporting her, she probably would have fallen to her knees with a thud when she curtsied.
Shen Ruolan smiled and sat in the main seat without saying anything, just nodding: "What are you afraid of? Sit down."
She responded softly, carefully covering her flat stomach, and sat down with the help of her maid, as if afraid of being harmed by others.
Shen Ruolan didn't show her anger on the surface, but inwardly she cursed her as a vixen and petty.
I heard last night that you had severe morning sickness.
The room was stuffy with charcoal burning inside. Shen Ruolan gently turned her wrist and slowly waved a round fan.
"Qingzhi is not trying to attract attention... It's all their fault for taking it upon themselves yesterday to disturb the concubine; it was Qingzhi who overstepped her bounds."
Qingzhi bit her lip and quickly stood up to apologize. Her body swayed precariously, looking incredibly fragile and pitiful.
"It's alright, sit down quickly, look how pitiful you are."
Since His Highness has taken a liking to you, you are truly blessed. From now on, you will be sisters.
A maidservant lifted the curtain and hurried in: "Consort, Doctor Zhang has arrived."
"Please come in quickly."
As she spoke, she stood up and led Qingzhi and the others behind the screen.
