The only ones who can move around freely in the harem with so many people following them are either the emperor or the empress, or the empress dowager.
But the Queen Mother is recuperating from illness, and she would not condescend to a small person like her to come here often.
Then it must be the emperor or the empress. Judging from the footsteps, they should have reached the gate of Shuqing Palace, which is still a short distance from here.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuxi said: "What Qin Guiren said is true. How dare I use the royal heir to oppress you? It's just that I'm lucky. I got pregnant after just a few nights with you. You, Guiren, will definitely be more fortunate than me.
It's a pity that you, Concubine Qin, are still under house arrest. It's hard for you to even see the Emperor. Unlike me, I can see the Emperor often. The Emperor even visited me in person a few days ago and showed concern for my daily life."
As she spoke, Ning Yuxi shyly stroked the hairpin on her bun.
His expression and posture were extremely contented.
Concubine Qin was furious. She already hated Ning Yuxi, and now she dared to be so brazen in front of her. She said between the lines that she was under house arrest and could not see the emperor, and she was showing off the emperor's favor.
She has never been one to tolerate. Seeing Ning Yuxi's pretentious appearance, Concubine Qin's face twisted, and the last bit of rationality disappeared: "You bitch, I will tear your mouth apart, Qinghe! Go and smash her mouth for me!"
Qinghe, the palace maid who was supporting her, looked a little embarrassed when she heard this. How could she dare to slap Concubine Ning in the face now that she was pregnant with the royal heir?
Seeing Qing He hesitate, Concubine Qin became even angrier. "Qing He! What are you waiting for? She's just a concubine. I'm a noble lady, and my rank is higher than hers. If I tell you to hit her, then go ahead and hit her!"
Qing He was still hesitant, and Qin Guiren angrily slapped Qing He in the face, causing her to turn her head and stumble to the ground.
"Bitch, I'll teach you a lesson myself!"
As she spoke, Concubine Qin took two steps at a time and came to Ning Yuxi, raised her hand high and slapped her down.
Ning Yuxi looked at the distance, and when the palm was about to touch her face, she turned her head away and screamed.
Then he lost his balance and fell to the side, bringing Ruyi to the ground with him.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
As soon as the emperor came in, he saw a woman walk over aggressively and slap Ning to the ground. He couldn't help but feel furious. She dared to beat concubines in the harem, and the most important thing was that Ning was pregnant with the heir.
"Stop, come, pull them apart!" the emperor ordered in a deep voice.
The guards following behind hurried forward to restrain Concubine Qin.
Another palace maid stepped forward to help Ning Yuxi, who had fallen to the ground, but as soon as Ning Yuxi stood up, she bent over and held her stomach, saying in a suppressed voice, "My stomach hurts, Your Majesty..."
Ning Yuxi's face was full of pain and endurance, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her expression was painful.
Gu Qilan's heart skipped a beat and he shouted sharply, "Call the imperial physician! Hurry and call the imperial physician!"
As he said this, he walked forward, picked up Ning Yuxi and strode towards the bedroom.
After putting the person on the bed and covering him with a quilt, Gu Qilan asked, "Mrs. Ning, how do you feel?"
Ning Yuxi heard this, endured the pain and looked at Gu Qilan with a face full of grievance: "Your Majesty, my stomach hurts so much, I am not going to lose this child..."
As she spoke, Ning Yuxi seemed extremely frightened, with tears streaming down her cheeks.
The beauty was in tears, and she was pregnant with his child. At this moment, the child was in trouble. Gu Qilan felt a trace of pity in his heart, and his voice softened unconsciously: "Don't worry, the child will be fine, I will definitely protect the child!"
Ning Yuxi thought to herself, "Mmm!" I'm in this state and you still only care about the child!
Fine, if she doesn’t have a child, she’ll just bang her head against the wall. This dog emperor probably thinks she’s disturbing him…”
Not long after, the imperial physician arrived. After carefully feeling the emperor's pulse, he said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Ning Chang's unborn child is fine. It's just that she was too frightened, and the fetus is a little unstable. I will prescribe some medicine to stabilize the fetus. After a few days of rest, she will be fine."
Ning Yuxi was actually fine, she was just pretending. However, in order to avoid being diagnosed by the imperial physician, she pressed several acupuncture points on her body before the imperial physician came, making her pulse look unstable.
"It's good that the dragon fetus is fine. But my royal brother, that Concubine Qin is too arrogant and domineering. She actually dared to murder the dragon fetus in public. My royal brother, you can't let her go easily."
A crisp voice was heard.
Only then did Ning Yuxi see that Princess Yincheng had also come.
She hurriedly said, "My concubine greets the princess!"
A concubine of lower rank would naturally have to bow when meeting the emperor's biological sister.
Princess Yin Cheng stopped her and said, "No need to be so polite. You're not feeling well, so just lie down."
Gu Qilan summoned Concubine Qin who had been waiting outside the palace. To be honest, he didn't remember the woman's name, and it was the eunuch Song Qu who quietly reminded him.
Princess Yincheng naturally didn't know it, but it was the palace maid beside her who told her.
Concubine Qin walked forward with an uneasy look on her face. When she met the emperor's gloomy gaze, she was so scared that she fell to her knees.
"Your Majesty, it's not what you think. It was Concubine Ning who was disrespectful to me. I was so angry that I wanted to teach her a lesson. I didn't mean it." Concubine Qin cried.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Yuxi said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, how dare I disrespect Concubine Qin? I am just concerned that Concubine Qin is still under house arrest.
I don’t know which words I said to offend Concubine Qin, but Concubine Qin is relying on her higher status to teach me a lesson, wuwuwu…”
"Lady Qin is above me in rank, so if she wants to teach me a lesson, I naturally have nothing to say. But I am pregnant with the Emperor's child. How can Lady Qin not consider the Emperor and the heir? Woo woo woo..."
Seeing Ning Yuxi's pretentious behavior, Concubine Qin was furious: "You..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Princess Yincheng: "That's right, my royal brother, even if Concubine Ning's words were inappropriate, Concubine Qin should be lenient with her for the sake of the royal heir.
Rushing forward and attacking someone like that was truly malicious. If it weren't for Concubine Ning's good luck, the heir to the throne might have been harmed."
Ning Yuxi glanced at Princess Yin Cheng inconspicuously, but saw that she was also looking at her and slightly raised her eyebrows at her.
Ning Yuxi was happy. It was worth it for her to jump into the icy water in the wind and snow.
Gu Qilan angrily said, "Noble Lady Qin's words and actions are outrageous. She assaulted the imperial concubines wantonly and attempted to murder the heir to the throne. She shall be demoted to a commoner and banished to the cold palace!"
Concubine Qin was instantly shocked and cried out: "Your Majesty, I am innocent, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am innocent, Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
Unfortunately, no one listened to her shouting. As soon as the emperor finished speaking, several eunuchs came forward and dragged the person away.
The sound of Concubine Qin crying became farther and farther away until it could no longer be heard. Ning Yuxi calmed down her inner turmoil, and she felt that she had avenged the original owner.
This is no longer the civilized society she lives in. In this deep palace where people kill without bloodshed, she must be ruthless!
If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will definitely retaliate!
Ning Yuxi was still in a daze when she heard Princess Yincheng's cheerful voice: "Concubine Ning, why are you still standing there? The emperor said he wanted to reward you, why don't you accept the order?"
