Late at night, the cold wind howled, making the eaves hum and whine, which made people feel scared.
The bedroom in Fengzao Palace was warm, quiet and peaceful.
The queen was wearing a soft-colored nightgown, with her beautiful black hair draped over her shoulders, and she was leaning on the bed.
Her eyes were smiling, and her voice was gentle, "Did the emperor issue an order? What did he give her? A white silk, a dagger, or poisoned wine?"
"It should be a white silk. Lady Fang was given a white silk and allowed to go on her own, but her body was left intact."
The queen thought of Lady Fang and suddenly smiled. Her smile was elegant and gentle, but it made people feel cold all over.
The Queen realized from Concubine Fang that the Emperor was just using the beautiful concubines as a cover to anger the Queen Mother.
At the beginning, after Lady Fang gained favor, she pretended to be on good terms with him.
She first behaved very kindly and generously in front of Lady Fang, and then slowly gained Lady Fang's trust.
The queen was attentive and after a few visits, she learned from Lady Fang's casual words that the emperor had never favored her.
Then, she carefully observed the emperor's actions and the pattern of his visits to Concubine Fang's palace.
As time went by, the queen began to understand the emperor's thoughts.
At the same time, she also understood that he would not favor those beautiful concubines, just as he would not favor these dignified and elegant ladies from famous families.
From then on, the queen began to think about getting rid of Concubine Fang.
She just made a simple plan and succeeded.
The Queen knew that the Emperor hated being plotted against the most, and that Lady Fang was most worried about not having been favored by the Emperor.
She then had Yuping bribe the palace maid next to Lady Fang, and had the maid give the Hehuan incense to Lady Fang...
Lady Fang fell into the trap so easily.
When the emperor went to her palace again, Concubine Fang used the love incense, and then at night she was given a white silk and died.
The queen was happy when she thought that the imperial concubine who was arrogant and had offended her many times in the past was about to lose her life on this cold and bleak winter night.
She couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and it burst out from the corners of her mouth.
Yu Ping's expression was slightly panicked. "Empress, I have carefully inquired and found out that the Emperor has not ordered the death of the Concubine."
"The Emperor has issued an order to banish the Imperial Concubine to the cold palace, where she will not be allowed to leave for the rest of her life. Also, Bai Lan has disappeared..."
"What?" The queen's face froze, and she was instantly furious. She slammed the table hard, and her palms turned red.
"Could it be that the Emperor has feelings for her and doesn't want to see her die?" the Queen was puzzled.
However, the imperial concubine has been banished to the cold palace, and the possibility of her turning over is very slim. It depends on your mood when to kill her.
But Bai Lan...
The queen narrowed her eyes and pondered carefully.
She originally wanted to get rid of Bai Lan because Bai Lan was directly connected to Yu Ping.
Bai Lan knew too much. If she was caught by the emperor, the consequences would be disastrous.
So, she first promised Bai Lan benefits, saying that she would secretly send her out of the palace after the task was accomplished. In fact, she sent assassins, who would take her to a secluded place and kill her to silence her after the task was accomplished.
I didn't expect those two killers to be so useless that they couldn't even defeat a little girl, letting Bai Lan escape...
The Queen shook her head, then rubbed her temples and said in a harsh voice:
"Send a message to my mother, asking her to send more people to find Bai Lan. Once she is found, do not report it to me, but kill her immediately."
Her beautiful eyes turned, and she continued, "Tell my mother again and ask her to send someone to investigate Concubine Wan's family background to see if they can find any problems, or create some problems for her family..."
Her voice gradually faded away and disappeared into the deep darkness.
————
The imperial concubine was banished to the cold palace for no reason.
No one in the palace dared to speculate on the reason privately, because the palace had issued an order that no one was allowed to discuss the matter privately. Anyone who was discovered would be immediately sent to the Ministry of Punishment and would not be released until they had received seventy-two punishments.
The palace maids were so frightened that they dared not mention the imperial concubine again.
Moreover, it is the end of the year and New Year’s Eve will be here soon. After New Year’s Eve will be the New Year, and then the Lantern Festival.
There were many palace banquets to be held in the palace, and the palace servants were so busy that they completely forgot about the imperial concubine.
The end of the year and the beginning of the next year passed especially quickly. After several palace banquets, it was already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Su Wanti had been taking the Dragon and Phoenix Pills for nearly two months.
That day, the imperial physician came to check Ping An's pulse.
Because Su Wanti was favored, the doctors who usually took her pulse were all old and skilled doctors.
The imperial physician took a little longer to diagnose the patient's pulse today than usual. Finally, he took his hand away with a look of joy on his face.
The imperial physician stood up, saluted Su Wanti, and said respectfully, "Congratulations, Her Majesty Wan, you are nearly two months pregnant."
Su Wanti's eyes widened, feigning shock. "Imperial Physician, are you telling the truth? Am I really pregnant with a dragon heir?"
The imperial physician's eyes narrowed with a smile. "I have carefully examined your pulse. There is no mistake."
Su Wanti was happy then. She asked someone to reward the imperial physician and asked him not to tell anyone about this. She wanted to tell the emperor herself.
After the imperial physician left, she instructed the palace maids serving her not to tell anyone. Qingzhi and others smiled and nodded.
They grew up in the palace and are very familiar with the conspiracies and schemes within it.
Now that Concubine Wan is in favor and is pregnant with a dragon fetus, which is less than three months old, it would be better to keep this news secret for now to avoid being plotted against by those with ulterior motives.
Today, when Leng Hong finished handling government affairs, it was already dark.
He returned to Ganxiao Palace for dinner. As soon as he entered the inner hall, he saw Su Wanti sitting at the dining table, looking at him with a smile on her face.
Her smile was the same as usual, gentle and delicate, but with a little more joy than before.
"My beloved concubine is smiling happily today. Is there any good news?" Leng Hong sat over and touched her little face.
Her skin was soft and smooth. Leng Hong was reluctant to let go after touching it for a few times, but he couldn't keep raising his hand to touch her face, so he stroked her chin and neck, and slid down to hold her soft, boneless little hand, holding it in his palm and rubbing it.
Su Wanti's cheeks were slightly red. She struggled slightly, but couldn't break free. So she leaned close to his ear, opened her red lips slightly, and her hot air hit his ear.
"Your Majesty, please don't treat me like you did yesterday..."
Leng Hongfu pulled himself away from the busy and trivial government affairs. Now he held the soft jade in his arms. The words he heard were not in his heart. He squeezed her hand and asked, "What's wrong? Wasn't my beloved very happy yesterday?"
Su Wanti's face turned even redder, and she had no choice but to say directly, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant. The imperial physician said it's almost two months."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Leng Hong, her eyes misty, full of tenderness and a little expectation.
At this moment, Leng Hong's breathing stagnated. After taking a few breaths, he said in surprise, "Really? That's great!"
