Chapter 255 The Imperial Concubine 2 (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
But why is this pretty boy looking at her with such a scrutinizing gaze?
The next second, Yang Mo said something that shocked everyone!
"You are not her!"
Ning Yan: ……
"I thought you had been reborn as well, but I could tell at a glance that you were different. You are not her!"
"And her?" Yang Mo was already very emotional when she said the last two words.
"She can't come back!" In the previous world, when she entered that pregnant woman's body, the original owner was still alive and her soul was still there, which is why she was able to bring the original owner back into her body.
The original owner of this world is dead, but the timeline has been turned back to three years ago.
The original owner is truly gone forever.
Yang Mo's hands were clenched so tightly they bled; he still thought he could change Yan Yan's fate in this life.
But it was too late!
He was reborn a month ago. The feeling of being torn to pieces before his death in his previous life was too painful. The pain made him want to kill the dog emperor immediately and rescue his Yan Yan.
So he did a lot of things!
But three days ago, his mother told him about the Imperial Concubine's plan. At that time, he suspected that Yan Yan might have been reborn. But after meeting her, the Imperial Concubine's scrutinizing gaze was too obvious. He knew then that she was not his Yan Yan, and his Yan Yan was gone...
Now it was Ning Yan's turn to have a headache.
Judging from Yang Mo's current state, it's clear that her plan is doomed to fail.
"It seems you won't agree to my plan. Why don't you leave the palace? Mother is alone in the capital and needs help."
What are your plans?
Ning Yan pursed her lips. "If my elder brother takes over Father's 300,000-strong army, how long would it take him to fight his way from the northern border all the way to the capital?"
Having awakened his memories of his previous life, Yang Mo shook his head. "It's no use. My three older brothers only listen to Father. Father will never rebel."
He couldn't bear to let the Marquis of Dingyuan's sword be pointed at the people he had protected for decades.
Otherwise, the Marquis of Dingyuan's family wouldn't have ended up like that in the previous life.
"Then I can only fake a pregnancy and have my brothers have a son to give to me in return."
Yang Mo: "Your three older brothers are still unmarried. Where are we going to find you a child?"
Ning Yan: ...So you came here specifically to spoil my fun?
"This body is hers too, you really can't..."
Yang Mo's gaze towards Ning Yan suddenly took on a touch of desolation...
Ning Yan was shocked. She immediately looked at his lower body: "You, you wouldn't be..."
"When exactly were you reborn?"
Yang Mo, "One month ago!"
A long silence followed inside the hall.
"I wanted to enter the palace to help her, but I was afraid of being discovered like in my previous life, so I found someone myself..."
So it's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't.
He felt that if he hadn't thought about leaving an heir for the Ning family in his previous life, and hadn't been so sincere, he wouldn't have been discovered, and he wouldn't have died so tragically!
For him, the loss of one person was worth it to keep his whole family alive; one cut was worth a thousand or ten thousand cuts.
With all three older brothers still alive, the Ning family has no shortage of people to carry on the family line. Moreover, once he enters the palace, he will be able to see Yan Yan and even stay with her forever. This outcome is already the best possible result.
Ning Yan: No wonder he was the one who dragged the Empress down from her horse even on his deathbed in his previous life. He's really ruthless!
Unable to bear the strange look Ning Yan gave him, Yang Mo looked down at the ground and said, "As long as my family is safe and sound, everything I do is worth it."
Anyway, the emperor isn't sincere towards you, so Your Majesty doesn't need to restrain yourself.
Isn't that dog emperor good at manipulating people's hearts?
I wonder how he'll react when he realizes things are out of his control.
Good heavens, is this blatant encouragement for her to cuckold the emperor?
Actually, she underestimated the situation; the other party did more than just encourage her.
"Go and rest first, and I'll see what position would be suitable for you."
"Your Majesty, in truth, this servant is no longer of much use to you."
Ning Yan: ……
What do you want?
"This servant wishes to go to Zhao Cheng's side."
Ning Yan: ...As expected, ruthless people who can stab themselves in the back have different minds than others; they can always quickly choose their own path.
Do you need my help?
"No need, I have my own methods."
In his previous life, he had spent more than two years in the palace and knew many people better than they did themselves. He believed that if he used them well, he could soon become the emperor's most trusted confidant.
Moreover, with the help of the Marquis of Dingyuan's family, his identity is even cleaner this time. Even if the emperor suspects him and investigates, he will not find out that he is related to the Ning family. In this life, he will play Zhao Cheng with ease!
"Okay, it's your decision. But if you need anything, just let me know."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yang Mo is gone.
Ning Yan turned around and went into the inner room to lie down on the bed.
I started thinking about what to do next.
The original owner hadn't even had a chance to make a move on the emperor yet. In her previous life, she was tired of being a master of abortions, so she thought of sterilizing Zhao Cheng. Therefore, she had to put this matter on the agenda as soon as possible.
The Emperor chose Consort Shu tonight.
Consort Shu, the eldest daughter of Right Vice-Governor Yu, was granted the title of Consort upon entering the palace. Her favor with the Emperor was second only to that of the original owner of the body. She was also the one who got along the most with the original owner. The two of them were always at odds. Unfortunately, in order to achieve his own goals, the Emperor would favor the original owner whenever the two of them quarreled, and Consort Shu would suffer most of the time.
Unfortunately, she was also pitiful. In her previous life, after the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion fell, the Yu family also fell. Otherwise, how could Xu Xiaohui have eventually become the Empress?
Because all the concubines from powerful families were dealt with by the emperor. Those who only dealt with one concubine were lucky. Many others, like the original owner, had their families wiped out.
What I'm saying is, how did such a despicable person manage to defeat all the princes and ascend the throne?
It seems impossible for the Ning family to sit on the throne; we must find another way.
In the evening, the Emperor's imperial carriage arrived at the Brocade Palace. Consort Shu, dressed in her finest attire, came out to greet him. Zhao Cheng considerately helped Consort Shu up, saying, "My dear consort, you may rise. Didn't I say that when it's just the two of us, you don't need to perform the formalities?"
Consort Shu said sweetly, "Your Majesty knows that you are good to me, but we must not disregard propriety."
"Your Majesty, please come quickly! I have specially prepared a table of your favorite dishes. Please try them."
Zhao Cheng led Consort Shu into the side hall, where palace servants helped them wash their hands before preparing for their meal.
"I heard that the Imperial Concubine bullied you again yesterday?"
Consort Shu immediately pouted, "Why does Your Majesty ask this? Anyway, you favor her, so Your Majesty won't punish her even if she does something wrong."
“My beloved consort, I have no choice. Marquis Dingyuan commands 300,000 troops. As long as he is alive, I must give him face. As long as you do not commit murder or arson in the harem, I cannot punish you.”
However, while I cannot openly show favoritism towards you, I can compensate you privately. Someone, bring me that Phoenix and Dragon Headdress from my private treasury.
