Chapter 1371 Have you forgotten the previous Concubine Ning?
Gao Yurong said, "I stopped Your Majesty that day because there was no need for Her Majesty to get involved for her, but this matter is different. After all, she is not truly favored. Even if this child is really born, it will not have much impact on Your Majesty."
Wu Wan said, "Even if it doesn't have much impact on me, it won't work."
"oh?"
"Because I don't want to see other children born in the harem."
“…”
"Especially—if she gets a boy."
Hearing this, Gao Yurong's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a hint of danger in her eyes.
She whispered, "Did the Duke say something?"
Wu Wan glanced at her and said, "It's been a while since the Prince of Wei was canonized. There were times before that when people suspected he would be canonized as the Crown Prince, but now it hasn't happened. Clearly, the Emperor is still hesitating."
“…”
"After all, the emperor is still in his prime. Even if a prince is born in a few years, he will have the opportunity to compete with the King of Wei."
“…”
"Besides, the Emperor has never liked Prince Wei. If Feng Qianyan gave birth to a prince, I'm afraid the Emperor would have other ideas."
Hearing this, Gao Yurong nodded slightly.
However, she thought about it and said, "But Feng Qianyan is just a Concubine Ning after all."
Wu Wan looked up at her: "Have you forgotten the previous Concubine Ning?"
Gao Yurong raised her eyebrows slightly.
Wu Wan said, "Father said that Concubine Ning's previous series of actions have completely offended the Empress. Whether the Prince of Wei can be enthroned depends in part on the Empress's attitude. But now the Empress's attitude is that she doesn't care about the Prince of Wei at all, and just lets him take that crazy girl with him every day. On the other hand, as for Feng Qianyan, she personally informed the people from the Imperial Hospital and asked them to come and check on the Prince's pulse on time every day."
Gao Yurong gasped: "The Queen wants to—"
Wu Wan raised her hand to stop her from continuing.
He said coldly: "Whether she wants it or not, I don't want it."
“…”
"I don't want to see any more children born in this harem, especially princes. God helped us when the imperial concubine gave birth to the prince, but he didn't survive. We finally got rid of her, and I can't have another one to bother me!"
“…”
Gao Yurong said, "I understand."
Wu Wan said: "Then you——"
“…”
Gao Yurong pondered for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty has ordered me to do so, and I naturally dare not disobey. However, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."
"oh?"
"Although the Emperor's attitude towards Feng Qianyan is not very warm this time, she is still a dragon seed after all. And unlike when the Imperial Concubine was pregnant, she spent most of her time outside the palace. Concubine Ning is taking care of the baby in the palace. If something happens, we will all be implicated easily."
“…”
"Also, Your Majesty knows that the Emperor never cares about the harem, but the Empress's thoughts are hard to predict. These days, she has been sending people to keep an eye on us."
“…”
"If we want to take action, we might get ourselves into trouble if we're not careful."
Wu Wan said impatiently, "Do you even need to say that?"
"Your Majesty..."
"I asked you to come here so that you can think of how to handle this matter without leaving any trace. Anyway, it has been more than four months now, and I don't want to see Concubine Ning's belly get any bigger!"
“…”
Gao Yurong was silent for a while.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "My Queen, besides us, no one else would want to see her belly get bigger, right?"
