"Since Xiangfei entered the palace, she has been favored constantly. After being diagnosed with pregnancy more than three months ago, she has become the exclusive favorite."
"The Emperor's offspring are already few and far between. Those who survived in the early years were not particularly strong, and recently, he has not given birth to a single prince or princess."
Of course, the emperor is concerned about the issue of offspring, but he is not so concerned as to ask a Taoist priest to come and kill demons.
This time, he probably doted on Concubine Xiang too much and wanted to keep the child.
Mo Qin was not surprised to learn that Concubine Xiang and Xuexi were siblings.
But this emperor is so lustful and has few children. Is he not capable of doing this?
Mo Qin continued to ask, "There are rumors that there are unclean things in the palace. What kind of rumors are they?"
The maid thought for a moment, "Unclean things? Who knows how many wronged souls are buried in this palace? Rumors are bound to spread..."
The palace maid casually mentioned two things, which were nothing more than the cold palace, or a concubine who lost her child and went crazy.
The information that can be obtained from the palace maids is limited.
The palace maids involved in more obscure matters were also afraid of speaking out of turn.
Unless she is not afraid of death.
The emperor sitting on the throne is not a wise ruler.
On the contrary, under his rule, people's lives became increasingly difficult and natural disasters continued to occur.
Some people in the folk are secretly spreading the rumor that the current emperor has lost his moral integrity, has few offspring, and suffers frequent disasters, which is a punishment from God.
Xue Xi appeared in such circumstances. He was outstanding in talent and had a sister who was as beautiful as a fairy. Xue Xi quickly won the emperor's appreciation and rose to prominence. He was appointed prime minister at a young age.
Everything seemed both reasonable and absurd, if Mo Qin had not sensed something unusual from Xue Xi and Xiang Fei.
Mo Qin was thinking about these things when Feng Jun came over.
When she saw him, Mo Qin's eyes lit up.
"Can you see anything wrong with Concubine Xiang?"
Feng Jun could sense the original owner's physique that was sealed and protected, and his identity had not yet been discovered by An Xuan and Song Tan. It seemed that his strength should be no less than theirs.
He is a demon, so maybe he can see something.
Before Feng Jun had time to be happy, he was poured a bucket of cold water by these words.
He thought Mo Qin was happy to see him, but it turned out that she just treated him as a tool.
"Xiang Fei..." Feng Jun leaned forward and deliberately asked, "Does being particularly beautiful count?"
Mo Qin narrowed her eyes slightly, not falling for it at all. "Childish."
Feng Jun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
It turned out that it wasn't that she didn't care, but she had already seen through his intentions.
He reached out and hooked Mo Qin's finger, "I can't tell for now, but maybe there is a special way to hide your identity."
I think he was injured because he was ambushed.
"Do you remember the half-demon who was chasing me? The demonic aura on him was very faint."
Of course Mo Qin remembered that if the demon had not leaked its demonic aura when using its demonic power, she might not have been able to discover it so easily.
Half-demon is an awkward identity that is generally recognized as having weak demonic powers and is not accepted by humans or demons.
Not only can they hide their identities, but they can also attack monsters.
Come to think of it, there is a half-demon among them.
-
night.
Perhaps because of the unhappiness during the day, the emperor did not appear at the banquet.
The meal was good, but no one was interested in eating.
Jiang Yisheng's body and mind were mostly occupied by Yao Yao, and he always wanted to pay attention to her every move at any time and anywhere.
Along the way, Mo Qin saw all the changes in Jiang Yisheng.
Jiang Yisheng's change in attitude towards Yao Yao was gradual and did not feel awkward at all.
Now, anyone with eyes can see Jiang Yisheng’s feelings for Yao Yao.
Song Tan...Song Tan just went out and hasn't come back yet.
Yao Yao found an opportunity and sneaked out. Not long after she walked away, she saw Song Tan on a small path. She went up to him and said,
"Mr. Song, what are you doing here?"
Song Tan withdrew his gaze from the direction of the harem, put one hand on the wrist of the other, turned his head and looked down at Yao Yao.
Yao Yao didn't pay attention to Song Tan's answer, but continued to ask:
"Why didn't you say anything in the hall just now?"
Song Tan doesn't talk much. When others ask him questions, he answers according to his mood. He has no scruples at all when arguing with others.
It would be fine if he didn't care about her as an outsider, but the emperor in the hall still had his eyes on Mo Qin, who was his nephew.
Song Tan said coldly, "What does it have to do with you?"
Yao Yao smiled helplessly, "I am..."
In the middle of his words, Yao Yao suddenly lost his voice when he met Song Tan's gaze.
Song Tan is different from Jiang Yisheng. He seems to be indifferent whether he treats people or monsters.
His strength is there, and he is a difficult person to control.
Yao Yao tried several times, but finally chose to back down.
The only thing to blame is that she is a half-demon with weak demonic power, otherwise these people would be controlled by her sooner or later.
Jiang Yisheng can neither control Mo Qin nor interfere with Song Tan now... What use is he?
Could it be that she could only wait until this matter was over and she separated from Song Tan before using Jiang Yisheng?
Yao Yao felt a little regretful, and she couldn't help but doubt whether her original decision was correct.
She felt confused and felt that things shouldn't be like this.
Not long after Yao Yao left dejectedly, a small paper man came running over from a distance.
The paper man jumped into Song Tan's hand, danced a few times, conveyed some information, and then slipped into Song Tan's sleeve.
Soon another paper man came back.
Song Tan waited for a while, but the last paper man didn't come back. After a slight sense, he found that the paper man had lost contact with him.
The last paper figure was sent to Concubine Xiang’s palace.
Song Tan looked up at the sky, thinking that maybe there would be a big event this time.
-
Song Tan had been away for so long, Jiang Yisheng noticed
Jiang Yisheng stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Master, have you discovered anything?"
Song Tan raised his eyes slightly and said, "Pay attention to Concubine Xiang."
Just now, the emperor wanted Mo Qin and Yao Yao to live in Concubine Xiang's palace, but Concubine Xiang directly refused.
From the very beginning, Concubine Xiang did not pay much attention to Mo Qin and Yao Yao, which shows that she was not afraid that they would catch the emperor's eye and take away his favor.
So as a mother, why would she say no?
As a concubine, doesn't she want to have a child to consolidate her position?
Concubine Xiang's brother Xuexi is the prime minister. If she can give birth to a prince, after the emperor dies, she will be able to take control of the government.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Concubine Xiang should not be the one who refuses.
Jiang Yisheng didn't quite understand.
His impression of Concubine Xiang was still that she was a very beautiful concubine.
"Is there something wrong with her?"
Song Tan glanced at Mo Qin and had no intention of explaining.
This time, Jiang Yisheng was keenly aware of something.
He could feel that Uncle Master Song Tan obviously valued Mo Qin more than him, and he seemed to be excluded.
