The concubines left Yikun Palace and walked along the long street.
Consort Wen and Consort Hui walked side by side, both looking rather grim, their hearts burning with rage.
With a cold snort, Consort Wen said, "Consort Niu is really lucky. She only serves the Emperor once every few months, and she's already pregnant?"

Consort Hui nodded.
"Isn't that right? When Consort Niu's unborn child was born, I saw that it was Consort Duan, and I was quite surprised."
With a leisurely expression, Consort Hui pondered for a moment, then said, "Consort Niu is from Consort Duan's palace. Consort Duan and I served the Emperor one after the other. Now she is a Consort.

"Sister Wenfei, Consort Niu is pregnant with this child."
A fierce glint flashed in Consort Hui's eyes, while Consort Wen nodded slightly.

Consort Duan nodded heavily.
"Your Majesty understands. Your Majesty will definitely protect Consort Niu's unborn child, ensuring that Consort Niu and the unborn child are safe and sound."
