Chapter 19: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Palace Maid

After the Queen Mother left, Shen Yan stayed alone with Chu Li again.

"Did I hurt you that night?"

Hatsuri was about to drink some water, but when she heard this, she stopped in mid-air, her face instantly turned red, and she felt a sense of shame.

"Your Majesty, what are you saying?"

Shen Yan really likes teasing her.

He always felt that her shy look made him like her.

"I asked, did I hurt you that night? I was drugged at the time, so I was afraid I might have been too aggressive."

Chu Lizhen screamed and quickly covered his mouth: "Stop, stop, stop, don't say anything more, stop, stop!"

The palace maids were no longer surprised when they saw Chang Zai quarreling with the emperor, and they all started laughing.

"Li Changzai, you are a little braver."

Shen Yan liked her audacity towards him, and also liked her mischievousness. He didn't know where she started to act, but he only knew that he enjoyed watching her scene by scene every time.

Indeed, it all started with her face.

But what attracted me more was her personality. She was strong-willed and never gave up, just like me when I was young.

Only then did Hatsuri realize what she was doing.

She immediately picked up the cup and drank the tea pretending to be calm.

"Your Majesty appointed me as a concubine so quickly. Aren't you worried that I have a purpose?"

Hearing her call herself "me", Shen Yan smiled helplessly.

Shen Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing all his emotions. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her: "I am the emperor, what do I have to worry about? Then tell me, what do you want?"

Chu Li deliberately moved closer to him, smiled slightly and whispered in his ear, her eyes flickering with a hint of teasing, and she lowered her voice, as if whispering in his ear: "Of course it's for you, Your Majesty."

Shen Yan had a smile on his lips, and a blush seemed to appear on his face, but he quickly concealed it. His nose tip pressed against Chu Li's nose, and the two noses collided.

"So, that night, my beloved concubine also volunteered?"

Shen Yan's hand wandered around her waist, and he quietly enjoyed this close distance.

Hatsuri felt herself blushing and quickly pulled herself away.

"Your Majesty, your body has not recovered yet, please go back!"

"You didn't even let me drink a sip of tea? You chased me away? You're so arrogant just because you have my child?"

Chu Li's smile spread across her face, "The child is yours, and so is the person. Your Majesty, you have a long way to go, right?"

rational.

Shen Yan nodded and left.

At this time at night, a jealous woman in the palace was so envious that her eyes turned red.

"Why can a palace maid give birth, but I can't? That fool Concubine Chao wanted to climb to the position of empress, but she didn't expect to help Li Changzai. How is the information I asked you to find out going?"

The eunuch next to him was dressed in black. He was assigned to investigate the contacts and relationship between Hatsuri and Cho Guifei during the period when the Imperial Concubine was under house arrest.

"Replying to the Imperial Concubine, I did not find anything wrong with Li Chang, but I did find something wrong with the Imperial Concubine..."

The Royal Concubine signaled everyone to leave with her eyes.

The eunuch then spoke out, "The imperial physician who examined Concubine Chao Gui all day long said that Concubine Chao Gui was infertile and had an affair with a eunuch. Not only that, although Concubine Chao Gui was inconspicuous in the palace before and no one cared about her, she secretly smuggled a lot of silver to some ministers in the court. I'm afraid it will be confiscated!"

The Imperial Concubine was not interested in what the Imperial Concubine said and said sarcastically, "Why are you telling me about her? She is not a threat to me at all. You little dog slave, do you know something I like to hear? How can I fight back?"

The noble concubine kicked her father-in-law hard.

It hurt so much for a moment.

"My lady, I really can't find anything about this!"

"I don't believe it! She can't be so perfect! There must be some clues for me to know. It must be you, my dog ​​slave, who didn't investigate it thoroughly for me! Send someone to keep an eye on her."

"Yes."

In the following days, the people sent by the Imperial Concubine were so unusual that Chu Li was speechless.

Every time she went out to exercise, there were always a few shadows passing by her eyes, either hiding aside or deliberately walking around.

No, why is this Royal Concubine so childish?

Because she was still pregnant, the Queen Mother came to visit her from time to time, until one day.

The emperor missed her for a long time and came to see her specially.

Chu Li fell asleep early. Shen Yan walked over and sat beside her bed, just looking at her quietly.

I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night because I was thirsty, and when I opened my eyes, a face appeared in front of me.

The man was threatening, with a knife in his hand, about to stab her.

He kept shouting: "Li Changzai, go to hell!"

Then, screams were heard from inside the house.

The guards outside the door broke in and took the man down directly.

The next day, the news began to spread in the palace.

Who is so bold as to murder the crown prince?

Hatsuri was frightened and didn't go out for several days.

The Emperor and the Queen Mother have both increased their guards. Chu Li knows who is trying to harm her, so she must use the fake pregnancy to completely bring her down.

That day, she stood at the door and enjoyed the breeze, fanning herself again and again with a fan in her hand, and flower petals fell on her nose.

When Rong Mama learned that she had become the emperor's woman, she was both happy and worried.

Visit her from time to time and bring her some homemade food.

"This wind is so pleasant."

"My beloved, are you living a comfortable life?"

Hearing this voice, Hatsuri finally opened her eyes.

The emperor would bring her favorite sweets from time to time and take her out for a walk, just like a normal couple.

Chu Li knew that the emperor was just trying to please her.

In order to completely take down the emperor, she must first get rid of Concubine Chao Gui.

One day, she finally protested against such a satisfying life.

"Your Majesty, since I became your concubine, I have been sleeping and eating all day and night. It is very boring. Can you allow me to go out of the palace to play?"

"It's dangerous to leave the palace. My beloved concubine must protect the dragon fetus well."

Shen Yanhe didn't want to let her party every night so that he could have a night of torment, but unfortunately, since she was pregnant, he could only think about it.

After more than a month, the system deliberately made her belly bigger and made her eat sour food all day long.

The man couldn't hold it in any longer.

They started poisoning the food.

Hatsuri was unwilling to eat it, and by chance she caught some food from a stray cat outside. As soon as she ate it with her front paws, she started walking slowly the next second until she died.

Hatsuri doesn't trust anyone in the palace, she only trusts herself.

The imperial concubine visited him late at night.

Chuli greeted her and said to her, "Are you free? You came to play with me."

"The Imperial Concubine gave me a few bottles of loquat paste, so I wanted to bring them here to share with my sister. We used to be master and servant, but now we are sisters who take care of the emperor together. I hope my sister won't blame me for what I did to you before?"

"Of course not, that's a thing of the past. But sister, what's the point of your late night visit?"
