Chapter 14: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine's Daughter 14
Xianfu Temple
Concubine Xian stood in front of the desk and wrote, but she was not satisfied with what she had written, so she threw down the brush in annoyance.
"Zhu Er"
Zhu'er was Concubine Xian's personal maid, and was also the maid that Concubine Xian brought into the palace from her natal home.
"My lady, do you have any instructions?"
Concubine Xian rolled up the waste calligraphy on the table and threw it on the ground. "Go and call Concubine Mei over."
"yes"
Concubine Mei arrived very quickly because the Changchun Palace where Concubine Mei lived and the Xianfu Palace where Concubine Xian lived were very close to each other, and it only took two cups of tea to walk there.
"Sister Xianfei An"
Concubine Xian smiled softly, walked forward and personally helped Mei Jieyu up, "Sister, there is no need to be polite to your elder sister. You and I are the only sisters in the harem who have the best relationship."
Mei Jieyu's eyebrows flickered, and when she looked up at Concubine Xian, her face was full of dependence again. "Yes, my sister has got her current position all thanks to me, but I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten us now."
Concubine Xian nodded and pulled Concubine Mei to sit down. "Who said it wasn't? This Concubine Yuan is too beautiful. We can't compare to her at all. The emperor has also been staying in Kunning Palace all the time."
Mei Jieyu blinked and said, "Sister, do you want me to do something?"
"Ah," Concubine Xian sighed, holding Mei Jieyu's hand and said, "You are good at poison. If you destroy Concubine Yuan's appearance, will the emperor still love her?"
Mei Jieyu bit her lip and frowned in embarrassment. "Sister, compared to Concubine Yuan, shouldn't Concubine Yu Gui, who is pregnant, be dealt with more?"
"No, sister, you don't know that Concubine Yu Gui will definitely not be able to give birth to this baby."
Mei Jieyu was shocked when she heard this and her eyes widened. "How did you know that, sister?"
Concubine Xian chuckled and looked at Concubine Mei and said, "One is that the Queen will not let her give birth, and the other is those ministers."
Mei Jieyu nodded, not quite understanding, "Then does that mean the emperor can't have his own prince?"
Concubine Xian took a sip of tea from the teacup and did not answer Concubine Mei's question.
There have been few pregnancies in the harem over the years. If her guess was correct, then it was the emperor's problem.
But Concubine Yu has been pregnant twice, and we still don’t know if it’s the Emperor’s child.
"It's not impossible to make poison, but my sister won't do it herself."
Concubine Xian's eyes flickered, and she looked at Concubine Mei with a smile, "How can I leave everything to my younger sister? I will do it when the time comes."
Mei Jieyu stayed in Xianfu Palace for a long time before leaving. Zhu Er finally had time to ask her doubts, "Your Majesty, isn't it too risky for us to do this? If the Emperor finds out..."
Concubine Xian curled her lips and sneered, sitting on the chair with her forehead propped up, not caring at all. "Even if they find out, they can't find it here. The poison was made by Concubine Mei."
Jin Jin Qiao didn't know that so many people in the harem wanted to destroy her appearance, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care. She was not afraid of poison. After all, she had elixirs that were immune to all poisons and universal detoxification pills.
Li Huaijiang currently has only one concubine, Cao Cui'er, in his backyard. He is now at an energetic age. He would leave Cao Cui'er in the morning and come back again in the evening.
In contrast, Cao Cui'er was extremely happy. After all, the more often Li Huaijiang came, the more he liked her.
"Master, I haven't seen you for a day. Cui Er missed you very much."
"Little devil" Li Huaijiang gritted his teeth and patted Cao Cui'er's buttocks, then leaned close to her ear and said with hot breath, "I will make you beg for mercy later."
After saying this, without waiting for Cao Cui'er to react, he picked her up.
It only takes a moment...
Cao Cui'er was lying on the bed, looking at the sweaty Li Huaijiang, and asked in confusion, "Master, what's wrong?"
Li Huaijiang was almost going crazy, but he tried again and again and it didn't work.
Looking at Cao Cui'er who was still lying naked, he kicked her off the bed and said, "Get out and call the Master over."
Cao Cui'er was so frightened that her face turned pale. She didn't care about the pain from the fall and quickly put on her clothes. Without delay, she ran out in a hurry.
When Master Li heard that something had happened to his son, he had no mood to visit his concubine, so he immediately brought his people to Cao Cui'er's residence.
"Huaijiang, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Father, you come in alone."
The Master looked back at the servants around him, frowned and said, "You all stay here."
The Grand Tutor walked into the room and saw Li Huaijiang kneeling on the bed. He was immediately shocked. "What happened to my son?"
"Father, my son is finished"
…
After hearing what Li Huaijiang said, the Grand Tutor's face was full of solemnity. He thought for a moment and said, "Father will secretly find a doctor to treat you."
"No," Li Huaijiang quickly pulled the tutor's hand and said, "Father, if you want to find a doctor, you have to wait until your son gets married. If the princess gets to know about this, she will definitely not let Qiao Zhenzhen marry into our family."
The Master thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then we won't look for a doctor first. But if you want to keep this secret, you can't keep your concubine."
Li Huaijiang waved his hands nonchalantly and said, "Let father decide. It's just a toy."
Cao Cui'er was hung on the beam of the house, looking like she was committing suicide.
That day, Aunt Qiao felt something was wrong when she was having breakfast. She knew it might be the result of her pregnancy, but it had only been half a month since she took the fertility pill.
After thinking about it, Aunt Qiao decided not to make it public for the time being. One reason was that the case was still young and even the imperial physician might not be able to diagnose it. Another reason was that she didn't want to reveal it so early.
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Aunt Qiao wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "I'm done eating, put it away."
"My lady, why are you eating so little today? Do you have a poor appetite?"
"Don't worry," said Aunt Qiao, standing up and looking at Jin Ling with a smile, "I just think I'm too fat."
Jinling and Yinling looked at each other, speechless. "My queen, how are you fat? We servants thought you were thin."
Aunt Qiao shook her head in amusement and said, "You all should leave. I want to rest for a while."
"yes"
Jinling and Yinling were standing guard outside the door. Jinling was more cautious. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Let's keep an eye on the queen for a while to see if there are any changes, especially her period."
Yinling's eyes widened in disbelief. "You mean..."
"Pfft." Jin Linghuan looked around and saw that no one was around before she said, "It has been half a month since your Majesty first slept with me. Given how much you are favored, this is only a matter of time."
"But we can't be careless. There are too many underworlds in the harem. If we are not careful, the queen might get hurt."
Yinling nodded, and immediately felt that she had a great responsibility. "Should we tell the Lord?"
"Don't worry," Jin Ling thought about the current situation and said, "We are not sure now. This is just a guess. We will see what the Queen plans to do after we confirm it in a while."
"Don't call me Master anymore. We are maids in the palace now. It will be troublesome if someone with ulterior motives hears us."
