Wanliuha glared at Sang'er, still feeling unsatisfied, and slapped her again. "You lowly servant, it's all your fault! If it weren't for your idea, would I be locked up here by His Majesty?"
And I'll never be promoted. Am I destined to remain a concubine for the rest of my life?
As she spoke, Wanliuhashi couldn't help but cry. She was unwilling to accept it. Didn't the fortune teller who told her that she would live a peaceful and smooth life? Why was she experiencing so many hardships now?
Ignoring the injuries on her face, Sang'er knelt before Wanliuhashi, "Concubine, please forgive me! I was truly thinking of you! That's why I said those things!"
"Considering my needs? I did exactly as you said, and what was the result?" Wanliuhashi roared in anguish, her life was over!
It was Sang'er who kept telling her to announce her pregnancy at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, saying that the Emperor might be so pleased that he would make her a concubine. She was so bewitched that she believed Sang'er's words. In the end, she not only didn't get a concubine title, but she also became a laughing stock.
When she encountered He Xue in the Imperial Garden, it was Sang'er who encouraged her to cause trouble for He Xue. She felt that since she was pregnant, even if the Consort was unhappy, the Emperor would certainly not punish her.
By causing trouble for He Xue, she offended the Imperial Concubine, and now who would dare to look down on her?
The end result was that the emperor completely abandoned her, and she could only spend the rest of her life in this four-sided palace.
Thinking of this, Wanliuhashi really wanted to tear Sang'er to pieces!
"Consort, please calm down. You are carrying the young master's child! Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the young master!"
The Emperor was only angry and was forced to punish you because of the pressure from the Consort.
"Once you safely give birth to the young master, the Emperor will surely reward you!" Sang'er sensed Wanliuha's murderous intent and quickly said.
Wanliuha thought about it and realized that Sang'er's words were not without reason. Perhaps His Majesty really had no choice but to do so.
"Alright, I'll trust you one more time. If things don't turn out as you say, I'll make you realize the consequences of deceiving me!" At this point, Wanliuhashi didn't want to punish Sang'er anymore. She would keep Sang'er for a few more months, and at worst, she would deal with her directly later.
"This servant wouldn't dare!" Sang'er quickly replied, knowing in her heart that she had passed this hurdle.
"Alright, get up! Otherwise, if someone sees this, they'll think I'm mistreating you!"
"No, you treat me the best!" Sang'er said flatteringly.
Wanliuha was finally satisfied.
In Chengqian Palace, He Xue walked up to Consort Cheng, curtsied, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Consort Cheng. I am deeply grateful!"
Consort Cheng waved her hand nervously, "No, Your Highness, you're too kind!"
"It's your duty to thank Xue Xie! Don't refuse!" Consort Tongjia said to Consort Cheng.
"Yes!" Consort Cheng replied nervously.
"You should go out more often and not always stay cooped up in Qixiang Palace!" Consort Hui said.
"Yes!" Consort Cheng replied, bowing her head.
Consort Rong noticed Consort Cheng's unease. "I heard from Yinzhi that Master Wu has been praising the Seventh Prince a lot lately!"
As expected, when the Seventh Prince was mentioned, Consort Cheng seemed to have something to say, "This is all thanks to the Crown Prince, the First Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince for taking care of Yinyou!"
"Your Highness Consort Cheng is too kind. Xiao Qi is our younger brother, and it is only right that we take care of him!" the eldest prince said. "Your Highness Consort Cheng, Xiao Qi said that he wants to go to the battlefield with me in the future!"
Although Consort Cheng did not agree with the Seventh Prince's idea, she still said to the First Prince, "In the future, I will have to trouble the First Prince to take care of Yinyou more!"
"These are all minor matters!" The eldest prince felt that taking care of his younger brother was his duty.
"Princess Hexue, I also want to thank you. If it weren't for your comforting words, Yinyou probably wouldn't have dared to go out and face people!" Consort Cheng was truly grateful to Hexue.
"Consort Cheng, whether I am there or not, the Seventh Prince will pull himself together. He is just temporarily trapped in a cycle of self-doubt. Once he figures things out, he will definitely achieve great things!" He Xue did not want to take credit for this. Historically, the Seventh Prince was very hardworking and ambitious.
"Thank you for your kind words, Princess!" Consort Cheng was naturally pleased to hear others praising her child.
“Consort Hui is right. You should go out more often in the future, not for your own sake, but for Yinyou’s too! Your good fortune is yet to come!” Consort Tongjia said to Consort Cheng.
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Your Highness!" Consort Cheng replied.
Consort Cheng could tell that Consort Tongjia and the other two had other matters to attend to, so she sat for a while and then made an excuse to leave.
After Consort Cheng left, Consort Hui strode directly to the First Prince, grabbed his ear, and roared, "Now it's time to talk about your affairs!"
