There were many scars on Le Fei's body, but at the age of nineteen, her eyes were red. She took her steps with difficulty and walked towards the direction of the white cat.
However, the cat was no longer breathing, and its face was covered in blood and flesh. In short, it looked very scary.
Concubine Le burst into tears and knelt down to plead with Queen Duan.
"Please Queen, please help me. I was just drinking tea in Changning Palace. I saw that the weather was good today, so I wanted to bring Xiaobai here to have a look. Who knew that Concubine Li suddenly appeared and said that my cat scratched her and threw my Xiaobai to death."
Concubine Li looked very calm. Empress Duan could not do anything to her. With the baby in her belly, she could continue to be a good person even if the Emperor did not restore her position for the time being.
However, in the harem, except for the queen, she doesn't need to care about anyone else.
She had long disliked Concubine Le, especially her white cat. If she remembered correctly, it was a reward from Emperor Shangwen when she first entered the palace. Ha, if she was unhappy, everyone would be unhappy!
Concubine Li stroked her belly, which was not even noticeable, and sneered with disdain.
"It's just a cat, a beast. Even if I kill it, it doesn't matter. Princess Le, you look so seductive and charming. You want to use this cat to seduce the emperor. How can I let you do that? This is a lesson for you. You must remember it next time!"
Concubine Le retorted, "I have never done anything beyond the rules. Besides, you and I are both concubines, how can you insult me like this?"
Concubine Le's father was a fifth-rank governor, and he had a very good reputation in the court. Emperor Shangwen treated Concubine Le well, but when Concubine Li was around, he always put Concubine Le above him.
Queen Duan looked at this farce and frowned slightly. It seemed that Concubine Li was becoming more and more arrogant and domineering, and no longer took anyone seriously. But she forgot that she could come back only because she was pregnant.
Xiao Ruyu emerged from Queen Duan's arms and groaned twice.
[This princess is dying of suffocation. 】
The voice was soft and cute, very adorable.
At this moment, she discovered that there was a special smell around Changning Palace. If she looked closely, the flowers nearby seemed to have withered.
[There is something wrong with Concubine Li. 】
The little princess' words attracted the queen's attention. Concubine Li has been pregnant for two months and the imperial physician has also diagnosed the pregnancy personally. Is there something wrong?
Queen Duan looked at her daughter with some suspicion.
Xiao Ruyu looked at Concubine Li's lower abdomen, and soon, she discovered that something was wrong with Concubine Li's body.
[Her face is very rosy, and she looks healthy but actually weak. It seems that she got pregnant through some special method, and it was very insidious.]
Queen Duan said quietly, "Yu'er, is Concubine Li faking her pregnancy?"
If this is the case, they should be punished directly. The Lu family was so bold as to fake a pregnancy, which was a complete provocation to the royal heir.
Xiao Ruyu yawned and stroked her fair belly, looking innocent and lovable.
[The lips of Concubine Li are dark blue, and look bloodless. The belly is not filled with a child, but a monster that wants to suck Concubine Li's body away.]
[However, there is no evil spirit in Concubine Li. All the problems are just with the child in her belly. I am afraid it is related to witchcraft. ]
Xiao Ruyu said frankly that her beautiful mother could hear her inner voice, so she could guard against Concubine Li very well.
"Don't worry, Concubine Li. I will not let go of those who openly provoke me. This matter will not be easily resolved."
Concubine Le felt relieved. She believed that the Queen was fair and would not favor Concubine Li. This way, she would be safe.
She didn't want an apology, she just wanted Concubine Li to pay the price for what she had done.
The little princess had a bright smile on her face and her white and tender cheeks were so adorable. Concubine Le was so touched by her cuteness that she temporarily forgot the sadness of losing her beloved pet.
"Why did the star of disaster come to Changning Palace? It's really bad luck!
Your Majesty, I think that since you know that the princess will bring bad things to others, it is better to confine her in the Princess Palace.
If you hit the baby in my belly, it will be bad!"
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Ruyu with hostility.
She didn't know why she hated Xiao Ruyu so much, but she was the daughter of Queen Duan, so she must be a disaster.
Concubine Li frowned and looked at Xiao Ruyu, as if she were a scourge and a beast, and was full of disgust.
Eleven's expression changed slightly, he pursed his lips and looked a little dissatisfied. If he was not worried about causing trouble for the Queen, he wanted to kill Concubine Li directly.
His little princess is not a disaster star, she is the lucky star of the Celestial Empire and a good omen to the world!
Concubine Li kept calling Empress Duan a disaster star, not caring at all that Empress Duan was beside her.
Nanny Cui looked unhappy and was waiting for the Queen's order.
Queen Duan's patience was gone, she said with an indifferent expression.
"Li Fei? Do you think you have recovered your position? Lv Jiali, Le Fei is one of the four concubines. With your status as Li Ying, how dare you disrespect Le Fei? It seems that you don't take the emperor and the rules of our harem seriously."
Queen Duan's words touched Lu Jiali's sore spot. She used her pregnancy to regain favor, and although she no longer had to stay in the cold palace, her status was still embarrassing.
The emperor did not explicitly ask her to resume her position, so she just agreed.
"The emperor was just worried about my pregnancy, and he didn't let me get my job because of the complicated etiquette. Duan Yun, I know you want to break up the friendship between me and the emperor, and I won't let you do what you want."
Queen Duan glanced at the nanny beside Concubine Le, who was her wet nurse.
"Princess Le, it's up to you how to deal with Li Da Ying."
Hearing this, Concubine Le seemed to be thinking about something, tears flashed in her eyes. She knew that the Queen was giving her a chance and helping her.
Compared to the arrogance and domineering Concubine Li, Concubine Le naturally likes the gentle and virtuous Queen Duan.
Concubine Le bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Queen."
Concubine Li felt a little uneasy. She stroked her belly and spoke in a cold voice.
"Do you want to attack the heir to the throne? Aren't you worried that the emperor will blame you? Duan Yun, if my son is hurt, I will hold you responsible!"
Nanny Cui raised her hand and slapped Concubine Li twice, and said with a cold expression.
"How dare you! Li Da Ying is becoming more and more unruly. She even dares to address the Empress by her name. She doesn't even consider her own status!"
Concubine Li was filled with hatred, but she suppressed her emotions, covered her face with her hands, and thought about how to retaliate.
However, Queen Duan was surrounded by many followers, so she had no chance to get close to them.
Concubine Le's eyes were cold and she raised her hand so quickly that Concubine Li had no time to dodge. She slapped Concubine Li with both hands and with all her strength.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't kill Concubine Li now, she would definitely not tolerate her.
Concubine Li had her hands grabbed by the Queen's men, and Concubine Le raised her hand to slap her.
It was not until Concubine Li's cheeks were swollen that Concubine Le stopped.
Queen Duan said calmly, "Concubine Li, this is the palace's rule. Don't challenge it, or you will regret it."
