"What?" Hauge was taken aback. "Namuzhong deliberately fell down to frame you?"
Yan Zhaqing said, "I didn't push her at all. I just argued with her for a few words. I never expected her to treat me like this!"
"What a vicious woman! She wouldn't even spare her own child in her quest for favor!"
Hauge was so angry he wanted to chop Namuzhong to pieces.
"Now I have ten mouths but I can't explain myself, I can only swallow my pride and bear it all." Yan Zha Qingcheng said with great grievance, as if it were really as she said.
"Don't worry, I will clear your name," Hauge assured her confidently, and casually took her hand.
Seeing that Yan Zhaqingcheng did not resist, Hauge took advantage of the situation and forcefully pulled her into his arms.
Yan Zha Qingcheng only gave him a few symbolic pushes, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Men are most susceptible to the allure of feigned reluctance, and with the added aphrodisiac, Haug finally couldn't resist and pressed his lips against Yan Zha's exquisite cherry-like mouth.
The two then engaged in sexual intercourse, and although they had removed all their clothes, they were still drenched in sweat.
Hailanzhu quickly turned her face away, cursing inwardly: How could Yanzha Qingcheng be so shameless, doing such a thing on the first meeting.
This wasn't part of her plan; she only intended for Haug to become infatuated with her. This turn of events was something she hadn't anticipated.
She could have easily stopped them, but she thought that the two of them working together would only benefit the plan and not harm it, so she didn't.
After an unknown period of fighting, Hailanzhu had been sitting on the ground asleep for a long time when suddenly there was a banging sound inside.
She stood up abruptly and looked inside again.
Yan Zha Qingcheng went berserk and slapped Hauge several times.
"I'm sorry, Qingcheng, I just couldn't control myself." Hauge thought he was in the wrong for forcing Yan Zha Qingcheng.
Yan Zhaqingcheng stopped talking and just started crying.
Hauge pulled her into his arms again. "I will take responsibility for you. After you are cleared of your name, I will ask Father Emperor to grant you the title of my First Consort."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhaqingcheng finally stopped crying.
After offering some more comfort, the sky began to lighten, and Haug, fearing he would be discovered, could only reluctantly leave.
Good heavens, it turns out there were two hours inside! Hailanzhu shook her head helplessly. After all, youth prevails!
However, Yan Zhaqingcheng has a knack for seducing men and is quite intelligent.
After Hauge walked away, Hailanzhu entered wearing a veil. Looking at the mess in the room, she frowned and asked, "Why did you change the plan on your own?"
She wasn't angry, but the ambiguous smell in the room was too unbearable for her.
Yan Zha Qingcheng didn't take it seriously. "Men's words are deceitful. What if he was just saying it?"
Hailanzhu was even more puzzled, "You knew this might happen, so why did you still do it?"
“Until tonight, I was still a virgin. The old women who examined me when I entered the palace can all testify to that. If he dares to just walk away, I will tell the Emperor that he forced himself on me on a dark and stormy night.” Yan Zha Qingcheng narrowed her eyes. “Anyway, if I’m going to die, he won’t live either.”
She thought she was very clever, but when Hailanzhu heard it, she realized that the plan had many flaws.
"If you say he forced you, will the Emperor believe you? What if he turns around and accuses you of adultery with someone else to frame him?" Hailanzhu asked rhetorically.
"It's obvious, how could it be..." Yan Zhaqingcheng clearly hadn't thought of these things.
“Why not?” Hailanzhu interrupted. “Do you have any of his personal belongings?”
Yan Zhaqing shook her head.
"Stupid, so stupid!" Hailanzhu cursed inwardly, but calmly replied, "Since there's no evidence, how could the Emperor possibly believe you!"
Yan Zha Qingcheng panicked. "Then... what should we do?"
Hailanzhu gave her a disdainful look. "What else can we do? We've lost both our wife and our army."
“No…” Yan Zhaqingcheng tugged at Hailanzhu’s sleeve and said, “You have to think of a way for me.”
"Now you're thinking of me? Why didn't you consult me before making your own decisions?" Hailanzhu said sarcastically.
"It's my fault, please help me one more time," Yan Zha pleaded.
Hailanzhu had already come up with a plan; she was just deliberately playing with Yan Zhaqingcheng.
She pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "The novelty shouldn't wear off so quickly. Hauge will probably come back again. When that happens, you can try to get some of his personal belongings."
"Okay." Yan Zhaqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
“However, the best way is to get you pregnant with his child as soon as possible, then he won’t be able to deny it no matter what,” Hailanzhu said again.
“But…getting pregnant isn’t that easy,” Yan Zhaqingcheng pondered.
Hailanzhu used to think the same way, but after Zhe Zhe's medicine, she felt that getting pregnant wouldn't be too difficult.
"Don't worry about that, I'll have a way."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhaqingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
As the sky brightened and the objects inside the house became clearer, Hailanzhu knew she couldn't stay any longer. Just as she was about to turn and leave, she suddenly remembered something.
"Are there still people in the palace to meet you?" she asked, frowning.
Yan Zhaqing shook her head. "Nowadays, people in my family avoid me like the plague. How could anyone possibly come to my aid?"
"Then how did you get that aphrodisiac incense?"
“Uh…” Yan Zha Qingcheng stammered, “It was… given to me by my aunt.”
"Yan Zha Qiurong?" Hailanzhu called out.
"That's right. She was afraid that the Emperor wouldn't fall in love with me, so she tried to use some tricks. But she didn't expect that before I could even ignite my feelings, the Emperor would be tricked away by that little bitch Namuzhong." Just thinking about this made Yan Zha Qingcheng's chest heave with anger.
"I see."
Having understood her doubts, Hailanzhu quickly left, leaving Yanzha Qingcheng alone to imagine what would happen after leaving the Cold Palace.
She only slept for two hours that night. After returning to Guanju Palace, because pregnant women are more prone to fatigue and drowsiness than ordinary people, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed without even eating breakfast.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon, and Qingluan had already prepared lunch.
After eating some food in a hurry, Hailanzhu took Qingluan and rushed to Qingning Palace.
All the way there, she kept thinking about how to ask Zhe Zhe for the medicine.
Lost in thought, she unknowingly walked to the entrance of Qingning Palace. Just as she was about to go in, she heard someone calling her name.
May Your Highness, Consort Chen, enjoy boundless blessings and peace!
Hailanzhu looked up at the sound and saw it was Zhen Ge.
Upon seeing this, Qingluan immediately returned the greeting.
"Is Consort Chen here to see Her Majesty the Empress?" Zhen Ge asked.
Hailanzhu nodded. At that moment, she noticed two bumps on Zhen Ge's face that looked like bee stings, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
