Chapter 263 The Imperial Concubine 10 (Bonus Chapter 2 for Donations)
However, Li Si was too good at hiding, and after searching for a whole day, they still couldn't find him. Chief Steward Jin had no choice but to go back and report.
Zhao Cheng flew into a rage again, smashing all the ornaments in the hall. Fortunately, the child was still his, so he arranged for him to be raised in Chunhua Palace. The two-year-old child could talk and laugh, and he wasn't afraid that the child would be bullied and remain silent. After making the arrangements, Zhao Cheng left him alone.
This treatment is far worse than in my previous life. In my previous life, I was at most suspicious, but in this life, I witnessed it with my own eyes!
Zhao Cheng was inherently petty; otherwise, he wouldn't have harmed all those loyal officials. They were either in high positions of power or commanded large armies. He wanted to control everything, but he didn't have the ability. Therefore, the unfortunate ones were the capable officials.
...
Yang Mo knew most of what had happened during the day, and that night he made a special trip to Weiyang Palace.
Ning Yan had just finished bathing and was lying on the soft couch with her eyes closed, covered with a thin blanket, waiting for the palace maid to give her a massage.
Yang Mo didn't say anything, but gestured for everyone to leave. He then went over and gently massaged Ning Yan.
"You've improved today, you did a good job, you deserve a reward."
Ning Yan opened her eyes after she finished speaking but did not hear Xie Shang's voice.
Yang Mo's hand happened to be placed on one of her spots.
Their eyes met; one froze for only a moment before continuing, while the other closed his eyes and continued to enjoy himself.
"Why are you here? I was wondering why the maids serving me today seemed to have improved their skills. It turns out it was you."
"If Your Majesty is satisfied, this servant will continue to work hard in the future."
Ning Yan chuckled, "Is there some good news again?"
Yang Mo massaged her private parts with even pressure. "After returning from your place last night, the Emperor went to Baiyi Lane. When he came back, he smelled of blood. He even brought that little guy back today."
"This servant has been having the guards keep an eye on that area. It's said that everyone in the Xu household has been dealt with, and Xu Xiaohui's lover has escaped; they've been searching for him all day but haven't caught him yet."
"Oh, so the First Prince hasn't been abandoned by Zhao Cheng yet?"
"If he can live for another thirty or fifty years, maybe that little brat will have a chance to turn things around."
After all, it's not obvious; the older the kid gets, the more he resembles Zhao Cheng.
Ning Yan laughed; Zhao Cheng wouldn't live that long.
That night, Yang Mo did not leave Moyang Palace until the beginning of midnight.
...
The news of the Imperial Noble Consort's pregnancy spread quickly. Upon receiving the news, Murong Yue was overjoyed. He immediately went to his grandfather and asked, "I heard that the Imperial Noble Consort is pregnant?"
The Grand Tutor was in a good mood today. After all, the Emperor was his disciple, and now that the Emperor had an heir, he was very pleased.
Although it was a slight regret that the child wasn't conceived by his own granddaughter, it was only a minor one.
"Why are you so happy that the Imperial Noble Consort is pregnant? The palace examination is in two days, are you all prepared?"
Murong Yue held his grandfather's hand happily and said, "Because the child in the Imperial Noble Consort's womb is my child's."
The old master almost gave his grandson a live-death performance!
"You, you bastard, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Murong Yue stubbornly insisted, "Grandson is not talking nonsense. The child in the Imperial Noble Consort's womb is my child!"
You forgot, your grandson didn't return until the early morning of New Year's Eve.
The Imperial Noble Consort's child is just over two months old and will soon be three months old.
Grand Tutor: "...You, you, you, you have such audacity! How dare you?"
"How can you blame me? It's all because the Emperor is so heartless, suddenly letting the Imperial Noble Consort into the palace. Otherwise, I would have already married her properly!"
Grand Tutor: ...What a disaster! It turns out that my grandson and the Imperial Noble Consort had known each other for a long time and were even in love.
No wonder his daughter-in-law recently tried to find a wife for her grandson, but the brat refused no matter what. With the Imperial Noble Consort Zhuyu as a precedent, it's no wonder he wouldn't be interested in anyone else!
"You, you, you, you, you better watch your mouth! You must never talk nonsense outside again! This matter could bring utter disaster to the family if we're not careful!"
Murong Yue said, "Grandfather, I'm not stupid. How could I possibly tell outsiders about this?"
My grandson has now achieved the highest rank of the imperial examination, so he must work hard as an official and strive for promotion as soon as possible. When he rises to the top of all officials, he can provide for my mother and me!
Grand Tutor: This is truly a terrible thing! My grandson finally made progress, but it turns out it was all because he hooked up with the Imperial Noble Consort. What a tragedy!
...
The Ministry of War's Office.
Lord Gao stared at his eldest son with a face full of fear, "Say that again?!"
"Dad, what are you shouting for? Be careful someone hears you, or you'll lose your head!"
"Fuck your grandpa! You knew you'd lose your head and you still dared to do it?"
Gao Sheng, feeling wronged after being scolded, said, "What's done is done, there's no time to regret it now, what can I do about my son?"
"Are you fucking asking for a beating? You and the Emperor... you and her, one in the front and one in the harem, you're completely unrelated, how did you end up together?"
Thinking back to when he was sent to the Imperial Noble Consort's bed, Gao Sheng's face showed a sweet smile. Unfortunately, there were still several eyesores around the Empress. He really wanted to chop them all up!
"You don't need to ask anymore. Just know that the Imperial Noble Consort is carrying your own grandson. And from now on, don't go along with the Emperor and deliberately withhold the military pay from Marquis Dingyuan's side."
We're all one family...
The Minister of War picked up a teacup from the table and smashed it over his son's head, yelling, "Get the hell out of here!"
Gao Sheng tilted his head to avoid the teacup, then grinned and said, "Dad, I won't leave, you haven't agreed to it yet."
The Minister of War rubbed his aching forehead, exclaiming, "What did I ever do to deserve this?!"
"Hehe, hehehe... Dad, then I'll take that as a yes!"
The Minister of War waved his hand dismissively, like swatting a fly, "Go, go, go!"
Gao Sheng: "Farewell."
Then they left.
...
The Prince of Nanling's Mansion.
Nanling paced back and forth excitedly. It was almost midnight, but he was not sleepy at all and couldn't fall asleep at all.
He has a son!
Haha! He has a son!
Therefore, he needed to speed things up; he had to deal with those in the court who were full of malice towards the Imperial Noble Consort and the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence as quickly as possible.
Other officials should also be thoroughly investigated. He must leave a clean court for his son and not let those bad apples ruin his son's empire!
...
Zhao Cheng was unaware of certain changes. After Xu Xiaohui's death, he desperately tried to conceive with the concubines in the harem as quickly as possible.
However, seeing that the Imperial Noble Consort's belly was growing bigger day by day while the other concubines' bellies showed no signs of pregnancy, the Emperor was so anxious that large blisters appeared on his lips.
These concubines are so stupid! He has hinted at it so many times, why haven't they gotten rid of the child in the Imperial Noble Consort's womb yet?
