Chapter 30: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Concubine

As for the Imperial Concubine, Chu Li should avoid her as much as possible.

But she was also a pitiful person. She had been used as a pawn by the court all her life. She thought that meeting the emperor was her life-saving straw, but she never knew that the emperor never liked her at all.

She thought they would fall in love after spending so much time together, but she didn't know that all this was just a pretense to please the court.

She thought that as long as she consolidated her position and conceived the prince, she would be able to sit back and relax and never have to worry again. However, she did not expect that her plans would be disrupted by her appearance.

The imperial court that is using her now will certainly use her as a gun.

My poor, precious, royal concubine~

Seeing Li Fei lying here eating and drinking so peacefully, the palace maids became more worried than she was.

"Your Highness, you have served the Emperor for so long, why is your belly still not moving? You are the most favored one now."

The servant beside him also echoed: "It has been more than a month since you took care of the Queen Mother. You have been either sleeping or eating all day. The court is in chaos. Your Majesty, you must do your best!"

Chu Li felt sleepy and advised them to leave, "I have my own plans. Let me get some sleep first. You can leave now."

Under the osmanthus tree, a woman lay in a rocking chair, rocking gently to sleep, the breeze brushed across her face, and osmanthus flowers fell on her head.

Very pleasant.

She didn't know why she always felt sleepy and tired recently, and had no energy at all. She just lay there leisurely all day and did nothing.

When she woke up, she found out that the Royal Concubine was framed by a spy.

Has been thrown into jail.

Chu Li then hurried to Yangxin Palace to see how the emperor was doing.

The emperor was so angry that he threw all the memorials to the ground, and the servants knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to calm down.

Chuli walked over with a serious expression and asked, "What does the emperor plan to do?"

"It's a rebellion! The world is about to change. Everyone is asking me to step down. What's their intention? I don't have a prince, so what? I can still consolidate my country and usher in a prosperous era. Now everyone is here to impeach me."

Chu Li stood aside and randomly picked up a stack of memorials to read. They were all about the emperor's mismanagement of the country without a queen dowager, and that a new emperor should be chosen to lead the country.

He was obsessed with the beauties in the harem and could not extricate himself. He had no prince for many years and saw no hope. He also took a concubine as a royal concubine, which was ridiculous. He petitioned the emperor and Shen Yan abdicated immediately.

Chuli couldn't help laughing when she saw that group of people obsessed with the beauties in the harem.

Seeing her so happy, Shen Yan's anger subsided a lot, and he was puzzled: "What's so funny?"

"Your Majesty, they blame you for loving me too much, so the beauty made a mistake."

Shen Yan raised his eyebrows and was instantly speechless after hearing her words.

"But Your Majesty, do you really believe that the Royal Concubine is a spy? I have seen her sincerity towards you. Although she is a bit overbearing and arrogant, and doesn't take people's lives seriously, and likes to throw tantrums, and doesn't know right from wrong, and is unreasonable, do you really believe that she is that kind of person?"

Shen Yan: …

"Hatsuri, you're making her even more guilty."

Hatsuri smiled awkwardly: "Is that so?"

"Then Your Majesty, how do you plan to solve this problem?"

"I will prove it to them. Although I was pushed to this throne by others, now that I am in this position, I will sit on it till the end."

Hatari gave him a thumbs up and said, "Not bad, you are worthy of being my good husband!"

After saying this, Shen Yan saw that she looked exhausted, and asked worriedly, "You don't look very well today. Have you not rested well recently? Would you like to ask the imperial physician to check your pulse?"

He pinched her little face with his hands and then kissed her.

When the eunuchs and palace maids saw this scene, they all said in their eyes: How sweet.

"No need, Your Majesty. Perhaps I haven't had enough rest these days. I'll just go back and take a nap. I want to go see the Royal Concubine."

Shen Yan agreed, but was a little worried: "After all, there are many prisoners in the prison. I'll let Ayi go with you, just in case."

"good."

In the evening, Hatsuri took a nap before going to see the Imperial Concubine.

I'm afraid my period is coming soon?

Counting the days, it seems to be these few days.

After arriving at Xingsi, Chu Li was led to the prison where the imperial concubine was imprisoned. She saw that her face was covered with dirt and her hair was messy.

Yet she remains dignified and proud, without losing a bit of her composure.

The imperial concubine who once loved dressing up and adorn herself has now become so destitute and miserable. She must be heartbroken.

Hatsuri greeted her with a smile: "My Royal Highness, I'm here to see you!"

When the person sitting inside heard the familiar voice, he couldn't hold back his tears and walked over to grab the cell door.

Although tears were on her face, the words that came out of her mouth were all unpleasant: "What are you doing here? Are you here to see me make fun of you? You must be happy now, but I will never let you go after I leave."

Hatsuri: I give up!

Then he asked the guard to take out some snacks and pass them to her: "Come, have something to eat. These are made for you by the maids in your palace who miss you."

When the Imperial Concubine saw the food, she shed even more tears. She cried like a pear blossom in the rain, with tears as big as pearls streaming out. She felt aggrieved and wanted to accept the tears but didn't want to.

"It must have been poisoned. You wanted to poison me to death at this moment. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely not let you go."

Chu Li curled her lips, thinking her words were ridiculous: "It was the Emperor who let you in, and he won't let me go, how dare you say that?"

"you!"

"Alright, I'm here to save you, eat quickly."

When the Imperial Concubine heard this, she pouted in disbelief: "Really? I hate you so much, why would you save me? You must be trying to take advantage of me."

Hatsuri: ...

"If you don't believe me, I'll leave."

Hatari was about to leave, but the Imperial Concubine grabbed her sleeve with her hand, her eyes filled with pleading and expectation.

But his lips were tightly pursed.

Hatsuri understood.

This is a woman who wants to save face even at the moment of death.

"Okay, okay, as long as you listen to me, I promise you'll get out alive."

The Imperial Concubine listened carefully to every word and said that she could definitely do it. She loved the Emperor and would not let him suffer any harm.

It is because of this love that Hatsuri feels that her arrival seems to have broken the norm here.

According to the original plot, the Royal Concubine might still be the same, but she is definitely not a bad person.

Hatsuri slowly stepped out of the prison door.

Looking at the bright moonlight outside, I felt a little sad.

I don't know why I've become sentimental lately.

I have no appetite for anything, I feel dizzy, and I have to gasp for air after walking for a while.

After returning to the palace, I had a strong premonition in my heart.

Something must have happened!

Otherwise, why would she be like this? She immediately called the system in her mind.

"Xixizi, what's wrong with me?"
