Chapter 38 The Heartless and Heirless Cruel Emperor



Pei Lin's expression was filled with coldness...

He looked at Jiang Zhili intently: "What do you mean by that?"

Jiang Zhili straightened up her body, her rosy face looking very calm.

"Since I am unable to serve Your Majesty due to my health, I will naturally seek out some of my sisters to serve you."

She finally got a vacation and just wanted to have a good rest.

Pei Lin looked at the calm expression on Jiang Zhili's face. He opened his mouth, a trace of pain spreading in his heart: "Do you really want me to go to another palace?"

Is this what she thinks?

Jiang Zhili nodded: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health first."

Once she gives birth to this baby, her mission will be completed. This world will be relatively comfortable, and she will be the queen by then. She can stay here for a while longer and wait for the child to grow up.

As for Pei Lin, she naturally did as she pleased. Anyway, she didn't want to go to work now!

A barely perceptible sadness surfaced on Pei Lin's stern face, and he got off the bed.

"I will return to the Qianqing Palace tonight," Pei Lin said and walked out of the Qinzheng Palace.

Xiao Quanzi, who was guarding the door of the hall, saw Pei Lin coming out neatly dressed, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"Go and summon Long Nian, and then you can stay in Xingrenfang for two days," Pei Lin's face was extremely cold, as if mixed with biting wind and snow.

Xiao Quanzi's calves trembled and he almost fell to his knees.

Ever since Concubine Yi became pregnant, His Majesty's originally cold temper has become much milder. He no longer punishes the palace maids so often, and even his methods in the court are not as cruel.

Your Majesty, did you have a quarrel with Concubine Tongyi?

Xiao Quanzi didn't dare to think too much about it. He hurriedly passed on the dragon chariot and went to Xingrenfang.

Before Pei Lin got on the dragon chariot, he looked again and again in the direction of the Qinzheng Palace, but in the end he could not see the slender figure he was looking forward to in his heart.

He got on the dragon chariot with a gloomy face.

As for Jiang Zhili, she was no longer sleepy after Pei Lin left.

He got out of bed, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

Duoduo sighed with emotion: "Host, your mood really hasn't been affected at all. The emperor stood at the door of the Qinzheng Hall for a long time, and you didn't even look at him."

The emperor was obviously waiting for the host to leave, but the host didn't buy it at all...

The hosts it bound to before were all eager to stick to these emperors, so there was no way they would drive them away.

This host is truly amazing! He can withstand the attraction of these quest characters with such auras.

Jiang Zhili shrugged and thought to himself, "Feeling sorry for a man is the beginning of bad luck. If Pei Lin was just an ordinary handsome man, then it would be fine for me to date him.

But he's an ancient emperor. If I were to fall in love with him, I'd be doomed to be in the wrong place, and it might even affect the mission. Why bother?"

Duoduo fully agreed with what Jiang Zhili said.

Several previous hosts either lost their souls or failed in their missions because they fell in love with these mission characters. Their endings were really miserable!

Jiang Zhili finished his tea and lazily lay down on the dragon bed. Soon he fell into a peaceful sleep.

In the Qianqing Palace, the palace lanterns were lit all night long...

--------------------

The next day.

It was almost noon when Jiang Zhili woke up. After stretching on the bed, she called Xiaotao, who was guarding outside the hall, in.

Xiaotao helped her get up, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and she wanted to say something several times.

After washing up, Jiang Zhili sat at the table and had breakfast. She looked at Xiaotao's expression, her eyebrows raised slightly, and her eyes lit up.

"If you have something to say, please say it. Don't disturb me while I'm eating."

Since she became pregnant, every meal has been extremely rich, and her appetite has also increased a lot due to her pregnancy.

Especially recently, she could feel her belly growing, although not much, but there were some changes.

Xiao Tao glanced at the expression on Jiang Zhili's face before speaking carefully.

"Your Majesty, the entire harem knows that His Majesty returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity in the middle of the night yesterday. And today, after His Majesty left court, he did not have breakfast with the Imperial Concubine.

Now the concubines in the harem are all saying that the Queen... The Queen has made His Majesty unhappy..."

This is the case in the harem. The concubines in each palace knew exactly which palace the emperor went to at night, or who he carried to the Qianqing Palace.

After Jiang Zhili entered the palace, she has been favored with unlimited favors. Pei Lin has always let her stay in the Qinzheng Palace. Last night, Pei Lin returned to the Qianqing Palace alone with a cold face, which inevitably aroused speculation.

After Jiang Zhili swallowed the meatball in her mouth, she looked at Xiaotao.

"What about you? Do you think I've had a falling out with His Majesty?"

Xiao Tao thought about it and shook her head: "I don't know, but the Queen and His Majesty have been together almost all day long these days.

Furthermore, Your Majesty is pregnant with a dragon seed, so even if there is a disagreement with Your Majesty, I don’t think it will shake Your Majesty’s position.”

As long as the queen is pregnant, she will be a walking golden ticket of immunity in the harem.

Jiang Zhili chuckled: "Xiaotao, you have made a lot of progress in this period of time."

When she was about to enter the palace, Xiao Tao did not think so much and was just led by others. She was a bit reckless, but she was loyal.

Xiao Tao blushed and whispered, "It is because of your Majesty's good teaching that this servant has grown so quickly."

Comparing herself to when she entered the palace, she could clearly feel the changes in herself, all of which were the result of the Empress's patient teaching.

"I have already established myself in the palace, so you don't have to worry. As for His Majesty, I have my own considerations, so you must not be led astray by others," Jiang Zhili said calmly after taking a bite of vegetables.

Xiao Tao nodded: "I understand."

She will keep the Empress's advice in mind.

After breakfast, Jiang Zhili told Xiaotao: "The Japanese mother should send a letter in the next few days. Please pay close attention to it and give it to me immediately when you receive it."

This morning, Jiang Luoyu will be dragged to the gate of the Jiang Mansion and torn apart by a chariot. Madam Jiang must be heartbroken, and it is time for my mother to take action.

Concubines in the harem were not allowed to exchange letters with their mother's family. Even if they really wanted to send a letter outside the palace, the emperor had to review it personally.

After she was promoted to imperial concubine, she asked Xiao Tao to use money to bribe some reliable palace maids to deliver letters for her outside the palace.

"I'm awake," Xiao Tao replied with a smile on her face.

She knew that Miss Jiang would be executed early this morning.

When she was in the Jiang Mansion, she, the Imperial Concubine, and Madam Liu were often bullied by Miss Jiang. Now that Miss Jiang has met such an end, it can be said that she deserves it!

After the master and servant finished talking, Jiang Zhili asked Xiaotao to invite the concubines from each palace to the Qingshu Palace.

As soon as Pei Lin left last night, he caused rumors in the palace, so she naturally wanted to give him a warning.

Jiang Zhili took the palace maids and went to Qingshu Palace in a sedan chair.

--------------------

In the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

When Pei Lin returned from court, Eunuch Li knelt before him and trembled.

He sat at the desk and asked with a cold face, "Did Concubine Yi send anyone over, or send any message?"
