Concubine Rou smiled helplessly, raised her hand and stroked her belly, sighing, "How can I be as lucky as Your Majesty? I have served the Emperor for such a long time, and I don't know how much pregnancy medicine I have taken, but there is no movement at all."
Wan Zhaoyi was in a good mood today, so she offered some words of comfort: "Don't worry, sister. It's only been a few years since I entered the palace, and I've only just had a child. The Emperor dotes on you so much, so don't worry, sister. You might get pregnant soon."
There were tears in Roupin's eyes: "Thank you for your comfort, sister."
Not long after, a palace maid came in to report that the mage from the Fahua Hall had come to predict the fifth prince's fortune.
After inviting someone in, the mage was stunned when he saw the Fifth Prince's face. He said in surprise, "This, this is really strange."
Wan Zhaoyi's heart was pounding when she heard this. She asked anxiously, "Master, is it that the emperor's fate is not good?"
"To answer your Majesty, the Fifth Prince does have the appearance of someone who will be rich and powerful, but, but..."
Seeing that the master was hesitant to speak, Concubine Rou rolled her eyes and stood up tactfully: "Since I am not feeling well, I will go back first. I will come to pay my respects to you another day."
Wan Zhaoyi was eager for Concubine Rou to leave quickly, and said with a smile, "Then I will not keep my sister here. Songluo, please escort Concubine Rou out properly."
"yes."
When no one else was in the room, Wan Zhaoyi narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice, "Master, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."
The mage sighed and said, "Originally, the Fifth Prince's fate was always dark, and he would never see the light of day. But now, he has a full forehead and a round chin. This is, this is destiny. Unfortunately, there are obstacles ahead of him. If these obstacles cannot be removed, not only the Fifth Prince, but also you, Your Majesty, will be imprisoned, unable to extricate yourself. But once these obstacles are removed, you will be blessed with endless wealth and honor in this life."
Wan Zhaoyi's heart was filled with emotion when she heard this, and her hands on her knees clenched little by little.
Wan Zhaoyi's thoughts turned, and her breathing gradually calmed down. "Thank you for your guidance, Master."
As he spoke, he gestured for Songluo to bring the reward and said with a smile, "Thank you for your words, Master. Please write a peace amulet for the Fifth Prince to protect his safety."
The mage did not accept the reward, but only smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam."
After sending the wizard out, Songluo came back, looking obviously much more nervous than before. She had just heard the conversation between the two clearly through the door.
If what the mage said is true, this child will surely be extremely rich and powerful in the future, and the obstacle ahead will be the Imperial Concubine's third and fourth princes, right?
Sure enough, Wan Zhaoyi had the same idea as Songluo.
He looked up and saw Songluo coming in. He asked in a deep voice, "Did you hear everything the mage said?"
Songluo nodded, a fierce look gradually glimmering in her eyes. "Yes, since the mage could see the Fifth Prince's fate, then what he said must be true. Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is only one step away from becoming Empress. If we don't take action now, I'm afraid that it will really be as the mage said."
Wan Zhaoyi's eyes flashed with anger, and she said in a deep voice, "We can't act rashly on this matter, otherwise, if we're not careful, everything will go to waste."
It is said that when the Master came out of Qingning Palace, he did not go directly back to the Fahua Hall to practice Dharma, but went to the Imperial Garden.
At that time, Concubine Rou was leaning on the railing feeding the fish. Lu Zhu saw someone coming not far away and leaned over to remind her master, "Madam, the magician is here."
The mage walked to the front of the pavilion and bowed respectfully.
Concubine Rou didn't look at him, but just smiled and asked, "Have you explained everything clearly?"
"I did as the Empress instructed, and Consort Wan believed it without a doubt."
Roupin smiled with satisfaction, "That's good, thank you for your hard work, Master."
"It is a blessing for me to be able to serve the Empress."
After watching the wizard leave, Luzhu turned around and heard her master mutter, "Just wait, the show is about to begin."
The good show in the capital is waiting to begin, while the big show in the palace has already started with the sound of gongs and drums.
That night, Fu Qianyu had just taken a shower, changed her clothes and lay down when she heard hurried footsteps outside. Lingyun was about to go out to check, but when she looked up, she saw Haining walking in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, there's a commotion in Guangling Palace."
"What happened?"
Haining's face was gloomy. "Concubine Xi was having an affair with a guard, and was caught red-handed by the Emperor and Concubine Mi."
Guangling Palace is the residence of Concubine Xi and is very close to Concubine Mi's Lexiao Palace, but Fu Qianyu felt that there was a big problem when she heard this.
Not to mention Concubine Xi's personality, even if she really wanted to have an affair, why would she choose to do it right at her doorstep? It's obvious that she was set up.
If something happens in Guangling Palace, Fu Qianyu can't just ignore it.
Lingyun helped her dress before calling for the sedan chair. A palace maid came in, her face filled with fear. "Your Highness, the Emperor lost his temper in Guangling Palace. He's about to issue an order to punish Concubine Xi."
Fu Qianyu's face darkened as she instructed Haining, "Hurry up and go to Guangling Palace to inform Eunuch Zhu. Ask him to find a way to calm the emperor down, no matter what. Then have someone search the guard's room. They should be able to find something."
Haining didn't dare to delay and trotted out.
Peirong said bitterly, "Xi Fei is vicious and has harmed you so many times. Why do you need to help her? She would be better off dead."
Fu Qianyu glanced at her and said unhappily, "A few days ago, my brother sent a letter home. You know what was in it. After all, the Yun family holds military power. If they rebel, what do you think will happen to the capital?"
Peirong realized that she had said something wrong and quickly knelt down to apologize.
Fu Qianyu said in a gloomy tone, "I don't like her, but I can't just stand by and watch someone take advantage of her."
When the group hurried to Guangling Palace, they saw a crowd of people kneeling in the yard.
Inside the main hall, Zhao Yuancheng's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out. Mi Fei sat below him, looking nervous and afraid, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes.
On the ground, Concubine Xi was disheveled, her face flushed and her hair messy. No one would think well of her when seeing her.
After a quick exchange of greetings, Fu Xiyu calmed herself down and said, "I heard that the Emperor was angry, and I was worried, so I came to see him. However, the servants were vague in their explanation, and I don't know why Concubine Xi angered the Emperor."
Zhao Yuancheng didn't respond, but Concubine Mi said in panic, "It's no wonder that the emperor is angry. Even I was frightened when I saw it."
"What happened?"
"The Emperor drank a few extra glasses of wine tonight, so I accompanied him to the garden to cool off. As we passed the Imperial Lake, we heard sporadic noises coming from behind the rockery. I thought it was the palace maids being indecent, but who knew it was Concubine Xi and a guard having an affair?"
Concubine Mi pointed at Concubine Xi with an unbearable look on her face, as if just saying these things made her feel disgusted.
Fu Xiyu looked down at Concubine Xi's expression. Half an hour had passed since the commotion in Guangling Palace, but Concubine Xi's eyes were still cloudy.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he had been drugged.
Rubiaceae was her dowry and would definitely not betray her master. She must be a palace maid serving in the palace.
