Chapter 65: If I do something bad, will Your Majesty be angry?
If you can’t do much in a quarter of an hour, what about half an hour?
Yue Li's breathing became rapid, and her fingertips pinched her palms tightly. The sharp pain made it difficult for her to maintain her sanity.
Huang Baolin seemed to sense something and quickly pulled at his collar, smiling awkwardly, "Please forgive me, Empress Zhaorong. The weather has been so hot lately, I am sorry for being rude."
Huang Baolin half-crouched and saluted for a long time, and she began to sway. Her maid Zelan supported her and knelt down to Yueli apologetically: "Empress Zhaorong, our master has been unwell recently. His Majesty has specially instructed the Imperial Hospital to treat our master. I hope Empress Zhaorong will not blame us."
Huang Baolin scolded lightly: "Zelan, don't say any more."
"Huang Baolin, get up." Yue Li's eyes were extremely emotionless. She sat back and no longer looked at Huang Baolin. She just stared at the group of carp fighting for food under the pavilion.
Huang Baolin helped Zelan stand up with her hand. She was not very beautiful, but she had a gentle temperament that made people feel friendly when they saw her.
"Your Majesty doesn't look well, but did you not get enough rest last night?" Huang Baolin said with a smile. "Your Majesty mentioned Your Majesty when he and I were reading poetry yesterday, saying that Your Majesty disliked all that flowery stuff."
Lian Qiao's face changed when she heard this. What did she mean?
"Huang Baolin, our queen doesn't like to be disturbed by outsiders. If you have nothing to do, please leave immediately."
After hearing these impolite words, Ze Lan immediately wanted to refute that this lotus pond was not a place for Yu Zhaorong alone.
Huang Baolin quickly stopped her and said apologetically, "I am sorry to have disturbed your Majesty's pleasure. I will take my leave now."
Looking at Huang Baolin's weak appearance, Lian Qiao spat, "If someone didn't know, they would think we were bullying her."
Yueli looked at Huang Baolin's back and wished she could push her into the pond to feed the fish!
Jade Palace.
After Yueli came back, she became unusually quiet. Xiaolizi ran into the hall, took a breath at the door, and then went in carefully.
"Your servant pays respects to the Empress."
Yueli's gaze drifted down upon him: "Did you find out?"
Xiao Lizi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I checked...I checked. Doctor Liu from the Imperial Hospital was in charge of checking Huang Baolin's pulse. He said that His Majesty asked him to prescribe some medicine to help Huang Baolin recover and have children..."
With a "bang", Yue Li smashed the glass vase on the table to the ground.
Lian Qiao quickly said, "Master, perhaps Huang Baolin deliberately angered you. Many masters in the palace would ask the imperial physician for some medicine to help them get pregnant, but it's not necessarily true that it was ordered by His Majesty..."
Yue Li had a severe headache. Even though her mind told her that Huang Baolin probably said that in front of her on purpose, what if?
If she gets pregnant, it will be difficult to kill her then.
Yueli was silent for a long time. Lianqiao wanted to persuade her, but after seeing the stubbornness in her eyes, he shut up again.
The Queen has deep feelings for His Majesty, and she must be feeling uncomfortable.
"Is there any way to prevent her from having children?"
Lian Qiao's heart skipped a beat: "Master, this is absolutely not allowed!"
It was okay to drug Li Jieyu and give the Queen chin beans before, they were just minor things. But if this involves the royal heir, His Majesty will definitely be angry.
"Why not?" Yue Li was annoyed. "I get annoyed just by seeing her. His Majesty needs her now, and if he can't just kill her, then he'll just make sure she never gets pregnant again."
Lian Qiao wanted to struggle: "My Lady..."
"Okay, shut up." Yueli interrupted her, then looked at Xiaolizi and waved at him.
Xiao Lizi swallowed his saliva and felt a little cold on his neck, but still moved forward to wait for instructions.

After that day, He Yanchen occasionally visited other concubines' palaces in addition to Huang Baolin's. The harem suddenly became lively, as everyone seemed to see hope of gaining favor.
Yueli stayed in the hall all day and didn't want to go out.
That evening, when she came out of the shower, she saw He Yanchen sitting on the couch by the window.
Yueli felt a little sour in the tip of her nose, and she stood there with her lips pursed, not going over.
He Yanchen casually picked up her notebook and looked at it. He caught a glimpse of her coming out and stretched out his hand to her: "What are you standing there for? Come here."
Yueli walked over slowly and snatched the notebook from his hand: "Your Majesty, what do you think of my things?"
He Yanchen raised his lips slightly: "I didn't know Jiaojiao liked to read these erotic songs."
He leaned close to the woman's earlobe and whispered, "What's the fun in just watching? If Jiaojiao likes, I can play with her."
He pointed to a certain passage in the notebook.
After talking for a while, he saw Yueli looked gloomy, and she no longer rushed over to him and acted like a spoiled child when she heard these words. He Yanchen raised his eyebrows slightly:
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Yue Li pushed him away and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you free to come here today? Don't you need to go see Huang Baolin and the other sisters?"
He Yanchen let out a muffled laugh: "Our Jiaojiao is jealous again."
He has been very busy recently. The traces of the virtuous king have been discovered in the suburbs of the capital, and that man must have been unable to bear it any longer.
Previously, Wei Hemian found the Xian King in the Jintai Mountain area. He did not capture him, but played with him like a cat playing with a mouse, and eliminated many of the Xian King's men. When the Xian King returned to the West Sea after escaping death, he found that the hidden forces had suffered heavy casualties during his absence.
This is simply intolerable.
The virtuous king has been favored by the late emperor since he was young, and he has had everything he wants. Even in these years in the West Sea, he has had personal soldiers left to him by the late emperor. He has never suffered such injustice.
In addition, the news that spread from the palace made it known that the poison had been cured, and the wise king would definitely not sit idly by and wait for death.
When people are in desperate situations, they will think of burning their boats.
It also gave him the opportunity to eradicate the problem completely.
"Didn't I tell you that Huang Baolin is just a chess piece? I won't touch her and I won't like her. Jiaojiao, you really don't need to care about her."
"But I just hate her." Yue Li said in a muffled voice.
He Yanchen grabbed her waist, his fingertips slowly moving down her thin spine: "If she hates you, then hate her. If she makes Jiaojiao unhappy, you don't have to tolerate her since you are of higher status than her."
"Really?"
Yueli's eyes lit up, and she grabbed his hand: "If I did something bad, would Your Majesty be angry?"
He Yanchen narrowed his eyes and used some force on the hand that was stroking her back: "Jiaojiao, tell me first, what bad thing have you done?"
Before Yueli could say anything, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside. Ji Ming hurriedly opened the beaded curtain and entered. "Your Majesty, the Empress has sent someone to invite Yu Zhaorong to Fuyue Palace. She said... Huang Baolin was drugged and is likely to be injured..."
He Yanchen looked at Yue Li.
Yueli turned her head away guiltily.
