Chapter 8: The Angry Emperor with No Heir x The Cannon Fodder Female Match and the Concubine's Daughter 8
"What did you say? That bitch is pregnant?" The queen said with eyes wide open, looking at the servant who came in to report.
"Your Majesty, what I said is absolutely true. The Emperor personally brought Concubine Yu back to the Yanxi Palace from Kunning Palace."
"Go away," the queen waved her hand, thought for a moment and said to Nanny Zhang, "She can actually get pregnant, Nanny, how can she be so lucky?"
"Your Majesty, after all, Concubine Yu has always been favored, so her pregnancy is inevitable." Nanny Zhang frowned tightly, feeling a little uneasy. She always felt that Concubine Yu's pregnancy was aimed at Yongning Palace.
"I can't let her give birth to this child. She doesn't take me seriously anymore. If she really gives birth to a prince, there will be no place for me in the palace in the future."
"Your Majesty, please don't do that." Hearing the Queen say this, Aunt Zhang finally spoke out her thoughts. "I always feel that something is wrong."
When the Queen heard what Nanny Zhang said, she suppressed her resentment and asked, "Madam, what do you mean? What did you find?"
Nanny Zhang dismissed the servants around her, thought for a moment and said, "If Concubine Yu was really pregnant, she wouldn't have let others know that she was pregnant so blatantly, especially in front of Concubine Yuan, the new concubine the Emperor had brought into the palace."
The queen still had some brains. When Nanny Zhang said this, she knew the key. "Madam, what you mean is that she let others know that she was pregnant in order to frame me?"
"Your Majesty, think about it. The Emperor still doesn't have a child. If Concubine Yu Gui was pregnant, she would have secretly protected the fetus to avoid being harmed."
"As long as she successfully gives birth to a prince, she will have all the glory, wealth and power in her hands in the future."
The Queen narrowed her eyes, and was shocked by what Nanny Zhang said. "Nanny is right. If I had a child, I would not have let anyone know so early. I would have waited until the pregnancy was stable. Besides, I was framed once five years ago."
"What was the reaction of the imperial concubine?"
"I heard that the Princess Yuan didn't say anything, and the Emperor went into the house to rest after he left."
The queen nodded, walked to the desk, quickly wrote a secret letter, sealed it carefully, and handed it to Aunt Zhang, "Send someone to secretly deliver it to the Prime Minister's Mansion and give it to the eldest princess."
After settling Concubine Yu Gui, Mo Liyuan came to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.
"The Emperor Arrives"
The Queen Mother had just woken up from her afternoon nap and was a little confused when she heard the Emperor's arrival. "Why did the Emperor come at this time?"
"Mother" Mo Liyuan's mood actually did not improve after knowing that Concubine Yu was pregnant. She frowned and said, "Concubine Yu is pregnant."
"What? How long have you been pregnant?"
Mo Liyuan sighed and said, "The imperial physician said it has been more than two months."
The Queen Mother's eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips tightly. "Since Concubine Yu is pregnant, this is good news. Why does the Emperor look unhappy?"
"In fact, my mother is as suspicious as I am, right?"
"I know that Concubine Yu's pregnancy is most likely fake, but I didn't expose her."
"Do you want to protect Concubine Yuan?" The Queen Mother thought for a moment and then told the Emperor what was in his mind.
"Yes, as soon as my aunt entered the palace, I named her the first concubine and arranged her in Kunning Palace. The court and the harem are all keeping an eye on her."
"At this time, Concubine Yu Gui revealed that she was pregnant. I did not expose her. This would divert some attention from Concubine Yuan."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. Abbot Chongyun said that only Concubine Yuan can give birth to a child for you. Concubine Yugui probably didn't expect that Abbot Chongyun could really calculate it."
"How will the Emperor deal with Concubine Yugui in the future?"
Mo Liyuan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Since she is pretending to be pregnant, I will not expose her. Let her protect Concubine Yuan from disaster. If she is exposed in the future, she will be charged with deceiving the emperor."
"Mother, today I left with Concubine Yugui without telling Concubine Yuan. I am going to Kunning Palace now."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she glared at Mo Liyuan and said, "You are hurting Concubine Yuan's feelings, so hurry up and leave."
Mo Liyuan sat on the imperial sedan chair, pinched his brows and asked, "Did Concubine Yuan say anything after I left Kunning Palace today?"
Ma De followed the carriage and heard what Mo Liyuan said. He went to the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, after the emperor left today, Empress Yuan seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable and went back to her room to rest."
"Well, select two female secret guards from the secret guard camp to protect the princess."
"yes"
Jin Jin Qiao sat in the house, looking at the scenery outside the window. Now she had to adapt to the life in the palace, the intrigues and struggles for favor and power among the concubines in the harem. Thinking of this, Jin Jin Qiao smiled helplessly.
She was reborn not only for revenge, but also to give birth to a child for the emperor. This is the price of rebirth.
"The Emperor Arrives"
Aunt Qiao stood up slowly and did not greet Mo Liyuan with a smile as usual.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Mo Liyuan knew that Aunt Qiao might be angry, but he didn't expect that she didn't even smile at him. He suddenly felt a little flustered and walked forward a few steps to help Aunt Qiao, who was bowing, stand up. "My dear, please stand up quickly."
Qiao Jinjin took two steps back to avoid Mo Liyuan's touch. "Empress Yu is pregnant. Your Majesty should not come to my place."
"Hey, my beloved, you have to listen to my explanation." Mo Liyuan grabbed Qiao Jinjin's hand forcefully, his voice full of helplessness.
Qiao Jinjin pursed her lips and lowered her eyes without looking at Mo Liyuan. "You are the emperor, there is no need to explain anything to me."
"I know you must have misunderstood. I know that Concubine Yu is pretending to be pregnant."
After hearing this, Aunt Qiao raised her eyes and looked at Mo Liyuan.
"But I brought you back to the palace, and in such a high profile, the imperial court and the imperial harem are all keeping an eye on Kunning Palace. For your safety, I can only not expose her for the time being."
Qiao Jinjin was a little puzzled, and she pinched her brows and asked, "Your Majesty, can't you control the previous dynasty?"
"No"
Mo Liyuan pulled Qiao Jinjin to sit down and said, "I know who was the leader of the previous dynasty, but in order to catch them all in one fell swoop, I must make sufficient preparations. It will take no more than half a year for me to take action."
"I will not stop you from doing anything to the princess when the time comes."
Qiao Jinjin's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Mo Liyuan and said, "Your Majesty, you know."
Mo Liyuan smiled fondly and said, "You look at the Prime Minister's Mansion with such a look that I wish I could tear it down. If I can't see through it, then I must be blind."
"The Princess has been helping Prime Minister Qiao to do evil all these years, and now she is eyeing my throne. I cannot spare their lives."
Jin Jin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor didn't mind that she was Prime Minister Qiao's concubine's daughter, and he already knew what had happened to her.
"I have something to hide from the emperor."
Mo Liyuan rubbed Qiao Jinjin's soft little hands, narrowed his eyes and said, "My beloved, do you want to talk about Li Huaijiang?"
"Oh, that bastard Li Huaijiang is not worthy of my first concubine. After a while, I will arrange a marriage for Li Huaijiang and Qiao Zhenzhen, and tie them both up to death."
