Since that day, Tang Wan stayed at home every day. She took a fake pregnancy pill.
She thought that if someone wanted to harm her, the child in her belly would make that person suffer.
However, the fake pregnancy pill has a time limit of five months at most, and you must find a way to abort it, otherwise you will automatically miscarry.
Otherwise, those people would accuse her of not paying attention to the royal heir, and that would be a complete loss of both the wife and the army.
The people in this palace, especially the servants, are the most likely to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. If you are favored, you will naturally be the superior master.
If they are not favored, they are worse than eunuchs and palace maids.
Hongyue's eyes turned red with anger: "Your Majesty, this group of people are really looking down on others." When Your Majesty was in favor before, they were like lackeys, fawning and obsequious.
Tang Wan sighed slowly: "Hongyue, I wonder if you have ever heard of this saying."
Hongyue said: "What?" she asked subconsciously.
She curled her lips and said: "A tiger in dire straits is bullied by dogs, and a phoenix with its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken." This is an eternal truth.
"Pfft." Hongyue laughed out loud at first, then realized that she was wrong and immediately restrained her expression.
"Your Majesty, don't be too sad. One day, you will be favored again." His Majesty is really something. Their queen is so good, why should she be demoted for no reason.
Just because their queen is sensible, should she be bullied like this?
"These are all empty words, Hongyue..." She looked at the hard steamed bun, a plate of vegetables with little oil, and a dish of pickles, and sighed again.
"We need to avoid the limelight for now. Here are fifty taels of silver. If they don't give it to us, then we can buy some. We can't lose anything, but we can lose our own stomach."
No matter what you do, you must fill your stomach first to have the energy.
Hongyue lowered her head and said, "My Lady, it's because I'm so useless."
If only she were as intelligent and talented as the maids in the storybooks, then Her Majesty would not have suffered so much.
What is pampering? Isn’t it easy to get it?
Unfortunately, she is just an ordinary little girl. These things may be dreamt of, but the possibility of realizing them is almost zero. No, not almost zero, but absolutely zero.
Tang Wan noticed that her expression was not right and said a few words of comfort in a soft voice: "Okay, I know you are worried about me, don't worry."
"But..." Hongyue hesitated, as if she wanted to say something else.
Tang Wan interrupted her: "Okay, do you think that this is the end of my life?" Her expression became colder and she looked angry.
Hong Yue was anxious, her face flushed red, and she waved her hands repeatedly, with a look of grievance on her face: "My Lady, you know very well that this is not what I meant."
Tang Wan pinched her face and laughed, "Hahahahahahaha, I know, I was just teasing you."
She quickly stopped smiling: "However, I always feel that these days have been too peaceful." Although there were difficulties caused by the palace servants, those so-called difficulties were only about food and accommodation, which could be solved by spending some money and were not a big problem.
But what she was afraid of was that the real mastermind behind the scenes would take this opportunity to secretly get rid of her.
Although she had lived a lifetime, in this life, she was only sixteen years old, at the prime of her life. She didn't want to die, and she didn't want to be like in her previous life. She wanted to live, and she wanted to live well.
She wanted to prove to her father, the emperor, that your least favored daughter would eventually become the most honorable person.
Hongyue was a little worried: "Your Majesty, are you worried that someone might poison you?"
Tang Wan shook her head. "Although I have some suspicions now, His Majesty is in the palace. For the time being, no one dares to touch me. Otherwise, they would be walking into a trap."
"What if... His Majesty is not here?"
"......this....."
It must be said that Hong Yue was surprisingly good at speaking in some aspects. On the second day, news came out that Shen Xiaohan was about to leave the palace to handle matters.
The time it takes to get there is neither long nor short, at least three to five days.
Tang Wan held her forehead and said, "Hongyue, you, you, what can I say?" It's true that good things don't work, but bad things do.
How does that saying go? When you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water gets stuck in your teeth.
I can only pray that the person behind this is smart and doesn't poison her.
Hongyue said aggrievedly: "My Queen, I don't want to do this either..."
"I don't blame you. Stop crying, dear."
Hongyue stopped while she was ahead, wiped away her tears, and brought her a plate of cakes with a smile: "My lady, this is jujube paste cake."
Tang Wan's eyes lit up: "Where did this come from?"
Then, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she couldn't put it into words: "If I were in my current situation, I wouldn't be able to eat this."
"The taste of what I made may not be as good as the one made by the imperial kitchen, but it saved me a lot of money, hehe."
"Okay, then we'll eat together."
She handed a piece to Hongyue. The master and servant smiled at each other and simultaneously lowered their heads to nibble on the pastry.

"Zhao Hai, has Concubine Tang been active lately?"
"Oh, my lady, how dare she? She's just like that mouse in the dark, keeping her tail between her legs."
"Last time, I confiscated her longan and white fungus soup, as well as other food, but she didn't even dare to fart."
Zhao Hai looked at Rongpin's soft and white hands in fascination, and carefully wrapped his nails.
"She's from a small place. Don't tell me, maybe she actually ate rats. Southern barbarians are disgusting."
She smiled and nonchalantly put one foot on Zhao Hai's shoulder. Zhao Hai immediately lowered his shoulders a little, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down slightly.
"Hiss." Zhao Hai was a little distracted and didn't notice that his hands were moving a little harder, causing Concubine Rong to exclaim in surprise.
"Pa." A crisp and loud, but not too heavy, slap landed on his face. His handsome face turned slightly red, but it didn't hurt. Instead, he felt a strange pleasure in his heart.
It feels so good. If it were heavier, it would definitely be more comfortable.
Rongpin didn't notice his abnormality and frowned proudly: "You want to die, don't you know it hurts? If you want to do it for me, do it well. If you do it again, you will be beaten in Xinzheku."
"Yes, your Majesty, I know." He nodded repeatedly, hiding the desire in his eyes.
"Then, Your Majesty, since His Majesty is away, shouldn't we put our plans on the agenda?"
Rongpin snorted coldly and played with her nails: "Isn't this nonsense? Take advantage of her illness to kill her. Even if I don't kill her, I will make her suffer."
