After the banquet, Zhou Mingyan came to pick her up, accompanied by a timid and beautiful girl.
"Your Majesty, who is she?"
"She is Miss Li, the concubine given to me by my father. Shu Ting said she wanted to come and see you and leave the palace with us."
Li Shuting gave her a standard bow.
"Greetings, Princess Sister. Please bear with me in the future."
Wen Mengdie helped her up affectionately.
"Sister, please get up quickly. We are a family from now on. There is no need to be so polite."
Zhou Mingyan's face showed no emotion. He supported her, and the three of them chatted casually and soon walked out of the palace.
"Die'er, Miss Li was given by our father. As the saying goes, a gift from an elder cannot be refused. You won't be angry, will you?"
"Of course not. Your Highness should have had two concubines and four concubines. It's all my fault. The matter of taking concubines should have been arranged by me for Your Highness."
I really wasn't angry. After all, I had never felt any affection for him, so how could I be angry?
After returning home, he washed himself quickly, lay down and fell asleep.
As for the Queen's personal maid dying in the well the next day, that was none of her business.
The death of a little maid did not cause any waves. After all, no one knew how many people died in the palace every year.
Xie Shuchen, who was far away in Beichen, was still sad for a while after receiving the news.
Hua'er, I understand your feelings for me. Don't worry, I will never let you down. Even when I ascend the throne to become emperor in the future, my promise to you will not change.
I wrote another letter. I didn't expect Wen Mengdie to do anything, but now I have to make use of that unpopular flag.
(Die'er, the spy I planted in Fengli Country was inexplicably killed. You must protect yourself and don't reveal your identity easily. Now I just want you to be safe and sound. I don't want you to take risks for me. You must be obedient and don't steal any tiger talismans. Just wait for me to pick you up.)
Wen Mengdie chuckled and burned the paper to ashes.
Okay, I'll listen to you and do nothing. If you knew how well-behaved and obedient I am, you would definitely be touched.
System, I think he will be mad to death.
I was eight months pregnant, and yet I was dragged by the Queen to pray for blessings. What sin have I committed?
"Host, please be careful. She might harm the baby in your belly."
No, Zhou Mingyan is an unpopular prince, and I am a princess with no sense of existence. Why would she harm my child?
"Because the Crown Prince still has no sons, only three daughters. The one you are carrying will be the eldest grandson of the Emperor. How could the Empress, who is so petty, allow you to give birth safely?"
Haha! What could she say? The royal family was indeed unsafe. This was a good opportunity to escape.
Anyway, the child is pregnant, Xie Shuchen's spies have been almost killed, and even if Zhou Mingyan marries a concubine, he will not stay to be an eyesore.
Living in the temple, one must be very careful about eating Wenmeng butterflies.
The queen was also a smart person. Of course, she would not put medicine directly in her diet. She would only use foods that were mutually beneficial and counteracting. In this way, even if she really had a miscarriage, it would not be traced to her.
A few days later, her belly was still big and she looked very healthy and energetic.
The queen gently and generously helped her walk towards the back mountain.
"Princess Ming's belly is over eight months old now, right? It's so round, it looks like she's expecting a little grandson. I'm going to be the Imperial Grandmother!"
Looking at her gentle and expectant tone, if you didn’t know her, you would think she loved the baby in her belly very much.
Wen Mengdie held her belly with a graceful smile, and she and the queen looked like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a very good relationship.
The concubines behind him couldn't get a word in.
"The scenery here is beautiful and the air is fresh. You all can chat here for a while. I have something to do, so I have to go back first."
Before leaving, he winked at Concubine Mei.
Meipin walked to the edge of the cliff, lay on the fence and looked down.
"Hey, come and see if there's an orchid on the edge of the cliff. It's so beautiful!"
Everyone stretched their necks to look at the edge of the cliff and praised it, saying that it was indeed a rare Clivia.
Wen Mengdie also pretended to be curious, stretched her neck to look down, and didn't know who pushed her from behind.
Wen Mengdie quickly fell off the cliff and heard an urgent cry.
“Die’er…!”
How could I hear Zhou Mingting's voice? Why is he here? Who cares? Zhou Mingyan, goodbye, no, never see you again.
"Host, the prince just happened to come to the back mountain to look for you. It was quite a coincidence that he saw the palace maid pushing you. As long as you hide your whereabouts well, he will definitely think you are dead."
When he was about to fall to the bottom of the cliff, he quickly slipped into the space. Fortunately, he controlled the timing well, otherwise he would really have died if he fell from such a high place.
In the main hall of the imperial palace, Zhou Mingyan threw the palace maid into the hall and knelt on the ground, begging the emperor to make a decision with tears in his eyes.
"Father, you must listen to your son's decision...!"
But the final result was just the execution of the maid and her master.
Who was the maid's mistress? Concubine Mei, a maid-in-waiting with no real family background.
Zhou Mingyan knew that he was not favored. Even though he found out that the person behind the scenes was the Queen, and even though the evidence was placed before the Emperor, he still chose to favor his first wife.
"Ting'er, you should know when to stop in everything you do. You really treat a fake princess sent by an enemy country as your wife. There are so many outstanding ladies from famous families in Fengli country, who are hundreds or thousands of times better than her."
"Okay, go back. Father will give you a princess in a few days."
