Wushuang rarely saw Su Yunqing after that. After all, he was not a member of the palace and had his duties to perform. How could he have so much time to enter the palace?
Even if Su Yunqing is the queen's younger brother, he has no qualifications to enter the palace from time to time.
Although the old emperor is so old, many of the concubines in the harem are young. So how can Su Yunqing, a young and single foreigner, enter the palace frequently?
Wushuang had a good time in the harem. Although she was not the only one living in Yumozuo Palace, there were other concubines such as Lin Jieyu, but she was not someone who could be bullied.
Especially since the old emperor has been doting on her recently, Concubine Lin and the others really don't dare to cause trouble for Wushuang.
The days passed uneventfully. A month later, Wushuang looked at her belly and curled her lips slightly.
Now it's time to find an ally.
Wushuang came to Fengxiang Palace.
"Baolin Yuanshi, I pay my respects to the Empress." Wushuang "saluted" Su Yunluan very politely.
Su Yunluan was a little dazed when she looked at Wushuang's youthful and beautiful face. At this age and with such a radiant look, it seemed as if she had been like this before?
"Yuan Baolin, what do you want from me?" Su Yunluan asked Wushuang.
Wushuang smiled and looked at the surrounding maids, then looked at the queen and said, "Your Majesty, I want to talk to you about this in private."
The Queen looked at the maids around her and raised her eyebrows slightly. "What is it that you cannot tell others?"
Wushuang smiled and said, "This matter concerns the Empress... and your brother."
Su Yunluan's expression instantly became serious.
She wasn't very nervous about things that concerned her, but it was different when it came to her brother.
It is better to believe it than not, so Su Yunluan asked the servants to leave.
Wushuang took a look, then cast a soundproof barrier, and then told Su Yunluan what he wanted to say.
"I'm pregnant." Wushuang said with a smile.
Su Yunluan frowned slightly and said, "Your pregnancy is indeed a happy thing, but what does this have to do with me and my brother?"
"Because I am pregnant with Young Master Su's child." Wushuang said.
“Snap—”
Su Yunluan dropped the teacup in her hand in fright, and she looked at Wushuang in shock.
Her beautiful face had an innocent expression that made Su Yunluan feel angry.
"Yuan Baolin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want." Su Yunluan looked at Wushuang seriously and said, "My brother has always been a man of integrity and courtesy. How could he..."
Wushuang said, "The child was conceived on the day of His Majesty's birthday banquet. We had physical contact halfway through the banquet."
"If the Queen doesn't believe it, would you like me to tell you what characteristics Mr. Su has?" Wushuang looked at Su Yunluan and said.
Su Yunluan remembered what happened on the day of Zhou Guangye’s birthday party.
Su Yunqing has always been very polite, so when he went to the palace to visit her in the past, he would not stay overnight.
The day of Zhou Guangye’s birthday banquet was the first time he stayed overnight in the palace. His excuse was that he was drunk and missed the palace gates locking after his rest time, so he stayed overnight in the palace.
But Su Yunluan remembered that her brother's expression that day was very strange, especially when he heard that His Majesty had summoned Yuan Cainu to sleep with him, his expression became even more unpredictable.
Could it be that...
Is what Wushuang said true?
"Are you really pregnant?" Su Yunluan looked at her in shock.
Wushuang nodded, "Empress, do you want to join forces?"
"What do you want to do?" Su Yunluan looked at her and said.
"I want to be the queen mother." Wushuang said with a smile.
"Empress Dowager?" Su Yunluan looked at her and her belly in shock. "Are you planning to make him the crown prince?"
If what Wushuang said was true, and she was pregnant with Su Yunqing's child, then that would confuse the royal bloodline.
She actually wanted to use Su Yunqing's child to become Zhou Guangye's crown prince, or even the emperor of the Great Zhou!
"Empress... don't you hate the old emperor?" Wushuang said with a smile looking at Su Yunluan.
"You once had a childhood sweetheart, a man you both loved, but the old emperor forced you to part ways."
"He even forced you into the palace. You have to face that old man who is as old as an orange peel all day long. Don't you feel resentful?"
"You could have lived a life of love and happiness with a young and handsome man, but he ruined your life. Doesn't the Queen want to take revenge on him?"
Wushuang's words deeply touched Su Yunluan's heart.
Doesn't she hate it?
Su Yunluan hated it.
She once had such a bright future, but because of her beauty, she was favored by Zhou Guangye and was forced to marry this man who was older than her father.
Ten years ago, her brother was only twelve years old, and she was only sixteen. Neither of them had the ability to resist the most powerful man in the world.
For the sake of her brother and family, and also for the sake of her beloved husband, she had no choice but to compromise and enter the palace as queen with the encouragement of her family.
In fact, Su Yunluan did not have deep feelings for the Su family, but that was the family that raised her and her brother after all.
Her parents were unreliable, and she was able to grow up thanks to the careful care of her family. So even though the Su family was the one who pushed her into the palace, she did not resent the Su family.
So what if the Su family is a noble family?
After several generations of kings in the Zhou Dynasty frantically suppressed the aristocratic families, the Su family was no longer as prominent as before and could not resist the imperial power at all.
Moreover, she was just an ordinary daughter of a side branch. How could the Su family possibly use all their strength to protect her from being abused by the old emperor?
