Chapter 1374 Whether it can be preserved is another matter
Gao Yurong held out her hand to stop her from continuing, then looked at Qin Ruolan and said with a smile, "You don't have to mind. I came here today just to come back from Concubine Ning's place and came to see you on the way. I don't expect you to treat me with courtesy."
She deliberately emphasized the two words "Concubine Ning" and as expected, she saw Qin Ruolan's expression shaken.
Qin Ruolan gritted his teeth and sneered, "What else do you want to say?"
“…”
"If you wanted to provoke me, then you have achieved your goal. Now, can you leave?"
Gao Yurong laughed twice. Although her laughter has always been very pleasant, after all, from the beginning to now, she has relied on others to survive. Laughter is her umbrella of protection and the power of her survival.
She said, "Madam Qin, why is she so confrontational?"
“…”
"Just because we were enemies in the past, do we have to remain enemies now?"
“…”
"In this harem, having one more friend is better than having one more enemy. I understand this very well. Now, there is no need for us to continue to be hostile, so making you a friend is not a loss for us."
Qin Ruolan still looked at her with caution.
Gao Yurong smiled and said, "You're looking at me like that, don't you believe me?"
“…”
"In that case, then—I'm afraid I don't need to tell you the news I want to tell you."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
But when she said this, Qin Ruolan's heart was agitated. She frowned and said in a deep voice: "News, what news do you want to tell me?"
After all, she was no longer Concubine Ning, and she did not have the qualifications to move around the palace freely. She knew almost nothing about what was happening outside, and had no source of information. She was completely blind and deaf.
Gao Yurong then stopped and looked back at her.
But he looked at the palace maids beside him.
Qin Ruolan said: "All of you go down."
Following her instructions, Nongqin and Xiaolian immediately retreated, and Gao Yurong also asked the palace maids who followed her to leave the left hall.
Qin Ruolan said: "You can tell me now."
Gao Yurong then turned around with a smile and said slowly, "Actually, it's not really any important news, just a joke. Just now when I went to Jianfu Palace, I saw Xiao Duozi, who was serving there, running out after receiving an order. I asked someone to ask him. What do you think he was going to do?"
Although she was smiling, Qin Ruolan's expression was serious, even a little gloomy.
Gao Yurong didn't mind her "unreasonableness" and covered her mouth with her hands, laughing: "She actually asked him to go out and ask around in the palace and among the people for any recipes for having a son, hahahaha..."
“……!”
Qin Ruolan's face suddenly darkened.
Gao Yurong was still laughing, but this time, her laughter was not as pleasant as before.
On the contrary, it has a bit of coldness and harsh sharpness.
It scratched her heart and hurt.
However, Qin Ruolan didn't say anything because of this. After a long silence, he said coldly, "What kind of news is this? Who in this palace doesn't want to have a son? You?"
Her words also stung Gao Yurong.
Gao Yurong's face darkened slightly.
This also caused her a pain in her heart. Although she knew very well in her heart that she was just a person arranged by the Duke to be by Wu Wan's side, to protect her and assist her, so this life did not belong to her. Therefore, so many people came and went in this palace, and so many people rose and fell. Even Feng Qianyan had served him in bed and became pregnant with the prince, but she was still just a concubine An in this palace.
Perhaps, from the beginning to the end, I can only be a concubine An.
A wave of bitterness surged in her heart, which quickly turned into a little anger that was not known to others. She looked at Qin Ruolan coldly and sneered, "That's right."
“…”
"Everyone in this palace wants to have a son, even the imperial concubine, but she is not blessed."
“…”
"The lucky one is Concubine Ning."
“…”
"only--"
"But what?"
Gao Yurong sneered, "It's just that whether you can get pregnant or not is one thing, and whether you can keep the baby is another."
“……!”
Qin Ruolan was startled by her words.
Although this sentence has become a truth in the harem and everyone knows it, it cannot be said openly, otherwise it would be a curse on the pregnant palace maid.
She actually said this in front of him!
Seeing Qin Ruolan frowning at her, Gao Yurong didn't seem to be at all panicked by her "slip of the tongue". Instead, she smiled and said, "Otherwise, Concubine Ning wouldn't be so cautious and even go to the Emperor and the Empress to ask for permission to stay away from Prince Wei."
"What did you say?!"
When she heard the name King of Wei, Qin Ruolan almost jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on.
"What did she say? She wanted the King of Wei to stay away? What did she mean?"
"Don't you know? The Empress has been too busy lately and has no time to take care of Princess Xinping. The little princess has been with the King of Wei all the way. Now, the two siblings are inseparable. They are closer than when they were with the Empress."
“…”
"But that girl—I don't know why, but she burst into tears and made a fuss the moment she saw Concubine Ning. Once, she almost bumped into Concubine Ning."
“…”
"So, Concubine Ning can only ask for permission this way."
Qin Ruolan's brows suddenly twisted into a knot.
Zhu Feng didn't like Prince of Wei Zhu Chengxuan in the first place. If he couldn't get close to him, wouldn't the father and son become even more distant?
This is simply Concubine Ning's conspiracy!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench her teeth.
At this time, Gao Yurong had already dusted off her clothes, slowly stood up, and said, "Okay, I'm tired after talking for so long, it's time to go back. Think about these words carefully."
After saying that, he turned and left.
This time, Qin Ruolan did not stop her, but just watched her back disappear at the door and into the gloomy sky.
Qin Ruolan's eyes became darker.
She said in a deep voice: "Give birth to a son...can you be so impatient?"

Back at Chonghua Palace, Wu Wan was sitting in her seat drinking tea. Seeing Gao Yurong walk in, she raised her eyelids and asked, "Are you back?"
"My Lady."
"how's it going?"
"Everything is going according to plan. Even if Concubine Ning doesn't move for the next two days, she won't be able to hold back for much longer."
"Well, that's good."
Hearing her say this, Wu Wan nodded with satisfaction, and asked the palace maid beside her to serve tea and snacks to Gao Yurong and asked her to sit down.
Gao Yurong bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then he sat down.
Wu Wan watched her take a sip of tea and said, "Although she has already established a foothold, don't be too relaxed about the Imperial Concubine's situation."
Gao Yurong looked up at her: "Your Majesty means..."
