Chapter 127 Fetal Movement
Yiyuan Palace.
"Sister, sister." Concubine Yan called out to Concubine Yu in a crisp voice as she stepped into Yiyuan Palace.
After seeing Concubine Yu, she walked up to her quickly and said pitifully, "Zhi'er almost didn't get to see her sister."
Yu Fei put down her teacup, frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong? Tell me properly."
Yan Jieyu's eyes were filled with tears as she spoke mournfully, "Just now, I accidentally brushed Bai Jieyu's arm, and she pretended to have a stomachache to frame me. Fortunately, Xi Jieyu saw it, otherwise Zhi'er would have been wrongly accused."
"Jieyi Xi?" Concubine Yu was a little surprised.
"Why would she help you?"
There was doubt in Concubine Yu's eyes. Concubine Xi had always been cautious and taciturn, and she was only on good terms with Su Baolin in the harem.
Why would she help Situ Nanzhi?
Just as Concubine Yu was about to speak, she heard Concubine Yan say, "Zhi'er doesn't know either, but she said that she and Concubine Bai didn't get along well. Perhaps Concubine Xi is being kind and can't bear to see me treated unfairly."
"Kindness?" Concubine Yu snorted coldly, looking up at Concubine Yan carefully.
I saw her eyes as bright as water, looking at me smartly but puzzledly.
Concubine Yu frowned impatiently: "There are no kind-hearted people in the palace. You must be careful and don't fall into someone else's trap without knowing it."
Yan Jieyu seemed to understand and said, "Sister, what you mean is that Xi Jieyu is not really helping Zhi'er?"
Concubine Yu was about to say yes when she suddenly remembered that Liu Yuetang and Concubine Bai had always been at odds with each other.
She helped Nanzhi, perhaps because she didn't want Bai Jieyu's plan to succeed.
By the way, you can also do Nanzhi a favor and win over the emperor's new favorite.
After all, no one in the palace knew about his relationship with Nanzhi.
Jade Concubine's eyes gleamed darkly: "Nanzhi, before our wish is fulfilled, you and I should not get too close. After this meeting, try not to come to Yihe Palace again."
"As for Concubine Xi..."
She pondered and said, "She has always been meticulous and careful, and no one can find any fault with her. But I don't believe she can do everything well."
"Since she wants to befriend you, then you should pretend to be friendly with her and secretly observe her every move. If you find anything unusual, tell me immediately."
Yan Jieyu's mind went blank for a moment, then she understood the deeper meaning and nodded obediently: "Yes, Zhier understands."
"But sister, Bai Jieyu said today that she won't let Zhi'er go. Do you think...will she attack Zhi'er?"
Thinking of this incident, Concubine Yan still felt a lingering fear.
The Jade Concubine's jade armor clasped against the table again and again, and she pondered for a moment: "Bai Jieyu..."
"Oh, she's lucky. She didn't have a miscarriage even after losing so much blood last time."
"You don't have to worry about this. Right now, your focus should be on your belly and trying to conceive an heir as soon as possible. I will take care of Concubine Bai's side."
Concubine Yan nodded: "Yes, Zhi'er has been recuperating outside the palace. The female doctors said that Zhi'er has a physique that is easy to get pregnant. I think..."
She smiled shyly: "I think it should be easy to get pregnant."
"That's good. I'm waiting for the day when this child ascends the throne."
After Concubine Yan left, Ruolan whispered, "Your Majesty, now that Miss Yan has entered the palace, does Concubine Rong want to…"
She narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of murderous intent.
Concubine Yu raised her eyes and stroked the peony-gilded hairpin on her head: "We must be prepared for everything."
"Let's not even talk about whether Situ Nanzhi can get pregnant. Even if she does, can she give birth safely? Even if she can give birth safely, can we guarantee that it will be a prince?"
"If Situ Nanzhi is not capable, I will have to rely on myself."
Ruolan had not expected this. She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
In Jinxiu Pavilion, Concubine Rong was playing chess with Liu Yuetang.
As the chess pieces fell alternately, Concubine Rong spoke up, "Concubine Yan has only been in the palace for half a month, yet she's been sleeping with you for several nights in a row. Aren't you worried, sister?"
Liu Yuetang held the chess piece between her fingertips and placed it on the chessboard slowly.
"The harem is like this chess game. You can't win by being impatient."
Rong Jieyu had an intriguing smile on her face: "I'm afraid my sister has a chance of winning, so she's not in a hurry."
Seeing Liu Yuetang's expression as calm as water, she continued, "I wonder what's so good about Concubine Yan that the Emperor, who always values rules, breaks the rules for her time and time again."
For example, letting Concubine Yan stay in the Purple Palace overnight, and letting Concubine Yan wear the hairpin that only the third rank officials are qualified to wear.
Liu Yuetang heard the probing tone in Rong Jieyu's words and smiled slightly: "The emperor's heart is hard to predict. How can my sister and I guess it thoroughly?"
"Sister, you are pregnant now, so you shouldn't worry too much. I know what you are worried about, but I can only say two words to you."
She paused, then slowly spoke with her cherry lips: "Don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Rong smiled, like a lotus blooming beautifully in the pond.
"With my sister's words, I feel relieved."
Liu Yuetang smiled and said, "I believe that your dream will come true soon, but if you want it to be more perfect, you still need your help."
Rong Jieyu quickly said, "If you need my help, I will definitely help you to eliminate our common enemy."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is an eternal truth.
With a "click", the chess piece fell to the ground, and the outcome of the game was decided.
Rong Jieyu smiled gently and said, "Sister, you won this game so easily. I think we can also achieve our goal so smoothly."
"Thank you for your kind words, sister."
Rong Jieyu raised her hand and touched her lower abdomen: "My waist is a little sore after sitting for a long time, so I will return to the palace first. If you need anything, you can ask the palace maid to come find me."
Liu Yuetang stood up and said, "Then I won't see you off, sister."
Concubine Rong nodded slightly, took the palace maid's hand and walked out.
Unexpectedly, after she took a few steps, her steps suddenly stopped and she let out a muffled groan.
Seeing this, Liu Yuetang felt a tightness in her heart and quickly stood up and walked to Rong Jieyu's side.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Rong Jieyu lowered her head and looked at her lower abdomen. Her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and then she smiled foolishly, her eyes moist.
"It's the child, he moved, he moved..."
Seeing this, Liu Yuetang breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that something might happen to Concubine Rong in her palace.
The smile on Rong Jieyu's lips was so soft and kind. She was immersed in her own world of joy and said in a daze, "What a magical feeling, like... like a tiny butterfly gently flapping its wings in my belly."
"He's a healthy child and he can move."
She raised her eyes and looked at Liu Yuetang.
All the calculations in her eyes turned into the tenderness and happiness that only a mother can have at this moment.
"He moved, sister."
As she spoke, she excitedly took Liu Yuetang's hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen. Her eyes were as red as Su's as she said, "Did you feel it? He's moving again."
