Just when Lu Qingyan was worried about not having any power, Zongzheng Shen took the initiative to deliver what she needed to her, and Lu Qingyan was overjoyed.
This is just like a pillow being delivered when you're about to fall asleep.
Taking advantage of her occasional requests for medicinal herbs and money from the Lu family, she also had the Lu family find skilled martial artists and send them into the palace disguised as palace servants. She might not have been able to place these palace servants in the palace before, but now that Zongzheng Shen had given her this power, she naturally wanted to make use of this advantage.
Jun Jiuxian also wanted to get involved and arrange for people to come in, and Lu Qingyan naturally agreed happily. Jun Jiuxian had climbed to his current position, so he should have quite a few capable people under him, and having been in the martial arts world for a long time, he should be more astute than the people from the Lu family.
Half a year passed quietly in the blink of an eye. While everyone in the court was on edge, a regular visitor came to Lu Qingyan's palace in the middle of the night.
In the past six months, because of Jun Jiuxian and Bai Li's identities, Bai Li has brought him a lot of benefits and has always protected him. Zongzheng Shen wanted to make a move against him but couldn't find an opportunity. However, there were many assassination attempts in secret, but Jun Jiuxian always managed to escape. At this moment, he sneaked into Lu Qingyan's palace, climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt over them, and hugged Lu Qingyan, then chuckled softly, "Bai Li is seven months pregnant and will give birth soon."
Lu Qingyan leaned against him, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but be surprised, then chuckled softly: "Almost due? He's really good at keeping it a secret."
Zongzheng Shen was probably afraid that someone would harm the child he had given birth to, so he had Bai Li kept a very close watch on her. Now that Bai Li was seven months pregnant, there was not a single word of it coming out of the palace, which shows how well Zongzheng Shen kept it a secret.
"It's all thanks to the medicinal herbs you sent that they were effective. However, the Lu family has already emptied almost half of their wealth for your plan. Although this method allows you to meet and discuss things more often, what makes you think that having Bai Li have a child would be a huge blow to Zongzheng Shen's reputation?"
Lu Qingyan smiled charmingly, her slender fingers landing on Jun Jiuxian's face. She avoided talking about Zongzheng Shen's reputation and instead asked him, "The Lu family is broke, but we still have Jiulang, right? Doesn't Jiulang want to give his father-in-law some money?"
Jun Jiuxian leaned over and kissed her: "Of course the money in my hand belongs to my wife, but which of the people under my husband's command doesn't cost money? What is Bai Li? Is she worth wasting our family's money on?"
As Jun Jiuxian spoke, his expression gradually became serious: "In the past six months, I have gained control of most of the military forces. As long as we have a legitimate reason, we can bring forward our major undertaking. Why should we let Bai Li give birth to Zongzheng Shen's child?"
From the very beginning, Bai Li was his wife (pawn), and he never cared about that person. He didn't care about the relationship between Bai Li and Zong Zheng Shen either. It was just that Yan Yan kept paying attention to those two and didn't pay much attention to him, which really made him depressed for a long time.
"Just wait patiently, it will be a few months at most, and then it will be your time to achieve great things." I don't know what the "monster seed" will look like, but it certainly won't grow into a human.
At that time, Zongzheng Shen will no longer think that Bai Li is a fairy reincarnated from Li Fei, but a mountain spirit that devours his soul. That scene will definitely be very interesting.
What is most despairing is not the physical torture, but the mental collapse. Zongzheng Shen tortured the original owner into looking like a forty or fifty-year-old when she was only eighteen or nineteen. How could Lu Qingyan let him go?
