Wan Ge took another sip of tea: "I just feel that since no one has had a child for so many years, her child may not be able to be saved. Since you are her sister, it would be good for you to remind her."
"Your Highness, you clearly knew all this, so why..."
Wan Ge smiled and looked at the person in front of her, saying, "Now the Crown Prince is my son. As long as the Chang family still exists, no one can ride on my head."
Consort Li paused for a moment, as if she had noticed something different.
Therefore, Prime Minister Chang never understood the reason why the emperor established an empress, even though he knew this.
She used to think that the Chang family was too powerful, which was why the emperor was unwilling to make Wan Ge empress. But now she had a different idea. His Majesty's unwillingness to make her empress might not be just because the Chang family was too powerful.
If she wasn't mistaken, the reason His Majesty had been unwilling to appoint an Empress was because he already had someone in mind.
So who should be chosen as Empress? There's no need to even think about it; it's Yunmei, the one who bore the Emperor's child.
She is now pregnant again.
She didn't believe that the other person had a naturally high fertility rate, which was why she got pregnant so easily.
It can only be said that someone wanted her to get pregnant so that she could get pregnant, just like them. Someone didn't want them to get pregnant, so for so many years, apart from the eldest prince proving that he had no problem with fertility, the other concubines had been unable to conceive.
Consort Li desperately wanted a child of her own, so she would regularly have the imperial physician examine her pulse. The physician always said that she was someone who was likely to have children.
So everything is understood without being said.
Consort Li simply couldn't understand why. He was willing to marry them and touch them, so why wouldn't he let them have children? Was it all just for that woman? So she deserved to be trapped in this deep palace, unable to even have her own child?
Consort Li had actually thought about not taking the pregnancy-preserving medicine next time, but after hearing what Wan Ge said, she was a little frightened. What would happen if she didn't take it?
So she decided to see if Consort Lan's child could be saved.
…
Meanwhile, Zishu Tang was also trying to figure out a way to get rid of Consort Lan's child, but who would take the blame?
Actually, his first thought was Wan Ge. He wanted to make the two families fight each other. Even if Lan Fei's family was not as powerful as the Chang family, they were still powerful and influential. Their irreconcilable differences with the Chang family would be a good thing for him.
But he was afraid that if Wan Ge found out about his little tricks, she would be even more disappointed in him, and then she would completely break off relations with him and cooperate with the princess.
However, she is now clearly interested in contacting the princess, and it is possible that they have reached some kind of cooperation agreement.
Zishu Tang was still struggling with his decision, but Yunmei, on the other side, stopped struggling after hearing it.
Yunmei was able to grasp Zishutang's thoughts perfectly, so she could naturally guess what he was thinking at this moment. Moreover, he never hid his recent affairs from her, so she only needed to use her brain a little to know.
If Zishu Tang is too embarrassed to show up, then she will go and do this for him. He doesn't need to put himself in such a difficult position. Even if the investigation reveals the truth and he admits it, Zishu Tang will still do everything he can to protect her.
…
In less than seven days, Lanfei lost her baby.
When Consort Li heard about this, her face turned pale, and her hand, which was drinking soup, trembled, causing the spoon to fall to the ground.
The palace maid standing to the side looked at her reaction with some concern: "Your Highness, are you alright?"
Consort Li forced a smile, then shook her head: "I'm fine. Help me change my clothes. I need to go see Consort Lan."
The palace maid nodded and immediately stepped forward to help her change her clothes.
…
When Consort Li arrived at Consort Lan's palace, she happened to run into Zishu Tang, who was coming out of there.
Consort Li obediently bowed to him, but her heart was filled with complex emotions. It would be a lie to say that she was not attracted to the man in front of her. He was handsome and considerate to them in many ways. She was genuinely happy to have such a husband and was desperately trying to win his favor. Otherwise, she would not have disliked Consort Gui so much before, and she would not dislike Consort Yun so much now.
But the thought of what the other person did terrified me, and I felt a chill run down my spine.
No matter what, Consort Lan is carrying his child. As the saying goes, even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cub, but he's capable of anything.
Zishu Tang seemed to notice that Consort Li was not in a good mood: "My dear consort, are you feeling unwell?"
Consort Li immediately shook her head and tried to force a smile, but the attempt failed. She was still too scared. The thought that if she were pregnant with his child, she would end up like Consort Lan made her tremble with fear.
However, she couldn't show this side of herself in front of the other party, so she replied, "Your Majesty and Consort Lan are like sisters. Now that she has encountered such a thing, Your Majesty is sad for her."
Zishu Tang sighed softly, then replied, "Consort Lan is still young, she can have more children. I will definitely find the murderer who murdered her. How dare they plot against the imperial heir? I want to see how many lives the person behind this can pay for it."
Because she had spoken with Wan Ge beforehand, no matter how sincere or earnest the other party's acting was, Consort Li remained skeptical of him. Although she didn't completely believe what Wan Ge said, she didn't trust Zi Shutang either.
"Your Majesty must find the murderer and avenge Consort Lan and the imperial heir."
"I will. I have other matters to attend to. You should spend more time with her."
"Yes." Consort Li bowed and watched him leave. After seeing his disappearing figure, she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, a palace maid caught her quickly.
