Chapter 20: The Emperor Without Heirs VS the Stunning Concubine



Concubine Shu was lying on her bed. Just as she fell asleep, she felt a sinking beside her and the bed sank. She woke up instantly from her dream. Just as she was about to scream, her mouth was covered by a rough big hand.

She immediately realized something and fell silent. After seeing who was coming, she frowned and slapped the big hand away.

"Tsk, why didn't you tell me you were coming? You really scared me to death!" Concubine Shu rolled her eyes at him, got out of bed and checked it herself. After finding nothing unusual, she went back to bed.

"Don't mention it. The wind was too strong today. I finally found time to come here." The man had a gloomy expression and did not seem to be in a particularly good mood.

The two of them had their own thoughts, but they just hugged each other.

"How did you fail this time? That bitch actually came back alive!" When the concubine said this, she was so angry that she twisted the man's arm several times.

People who have practiced martial arts for many years have strong arm muscles. He didn't feel much pain from her attacks, but he didn't have the mood to argue with her. He just grabbed her hand, kissed it on his lips, and let it go.

"Who knew? One of the fish that slipped through the net actually released a flare. What a mistake!" The man hammered the quilt angrily.

Last night, Concubine Shu did see a small firework. Although it was fleeting, it really happened.

Well, she just needs to be careful.

She didn't do anything excessive that night. She just talked for a while and then kicked the person out.

......

Gu Wanying got up early on purpose and moved things with the eunuchs and palace maids. After all, she could still take a nap later, but she still wanted to participate in such a big event as moving in person.

Yue Tao had gathered all the ingredients for the hot pot in the evening and was just waiting for Gu Wanying's order to start cooking!

Everyone was in high spirits. With their master's promotion, their status also rose. Now they could walk in the palace with their heads held high.

Of course, this is only limited to eunuchs and palace maids of the same rank.

Everyone envies those who can work in Chonghua Palace. The master is not difficult to serve and the monthly salary is generous. This is a place that everyone yearns for!

Gu Wanying had no idea that everyone was scrambling to get in next to her. She only knew that the hot pot tonight was delicious.

I bought some dipping sauce from the system, and pretended to go to the kitchen to get some more, so that I could take advantage of the situation and put all the dipping sauce into the bowl.

When the emperor came over, he could smell a strong fragrance from a distance.

It was a smell that whetted one's appetite, something he had never smelled before.

His diet was managed by the imperial kitchen, and every dish was light and not greasy. Therefore, after eating it for so many years, he was already a little tired of it.

Now, just smelling the aroma of the food made the glutton in his stomach burst out, urging him to speed up and go in.

The hot pot was placed in the small garden, with palace lanterns lit and curtains hung around it. It looked a bit hazy and had a beautiful artistic conception.

Occasionally, the sound of women's laughter could be heard, adding a touch of liveliness to the quiet night.

The emperor couldn't help but stop and watch, and was actually reluctant to disturb them.

"Your Majesty?" Gu Wanying was arranging the dipping sauce when she saw the bright yellow figure not far away.

She immediately stood up, lifted the curtain and walked out, then grabbed the emperor's hand.

"Come quickly, we're waiting for the Emperor!" Gu Wanying's silvery laughter came, and she pulled him into the curtains. "To celebrate the housewarming, we have to have a good meal!"

The emperor was a little stunned when he looked at the food on the table and the pot of boiling soup.

Dayuchao didn’t have the dish called hot pot, so he didn’t know what to cook, and if he put all the ingredients into one pot and cooked them, would it taste good?

While the emperor was still in a daze, Gu Wanying had already pulled him to sit down.

Gu Wanying deftly prepared the dipping sauce for him and handed him a pair of long chopsticks.

There is a rack next to the hot pot, and the charcoal fire inside flickers in the dim light. The charcoal fire roasts skewers of meat or vegetables. Occasionally, it encounters dripping oil, making a sizzling sound, followed by bursts of fragrance.

It was this smell that aroused his appetite just now!

Gu Wanying ate with relish, and the eunuchs and palace maids below also took advantage of it, although the emperor did not understand the significance of her doing so.

But Gu Wanying had said that today was a housewarming celebration, so it should be lively and lively, and some things didn't need to be formal. He looked at Gu Wanying with a gentle look, she was making fun of him and he was laughing, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly beautiful.

At first, everyone was afraid to breathe heavily when they saw the emperor, but Gu Wanying told a joke every once in a while to liven up the atmosphere, and everyone gradually relaxed.

After the meal, Yuetao and Feicui were cleaning up the leftovers, and the emperor took Gu Wanying for a stroll in the small garden.

"Yingying, is the child bothering you?" The emperor rubbed Gu Wanying's slightly cold hands and asked gently.

"No, it's very well behaved. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry." Gu Wanying replied with a smile.

The mature uncle in front of her really captured her heart at once.

He is mature and wealthy, handsome and gentlemanly, and the most powerful man in the world. Who wouldn’t like him?

The candle flame melted, and the backs of the two people leaning on each other made Yuetao and Feicui very happy.

When Concubine Wan moved into Chonghua Palace, all the concubines sent her gifts, including a few red bellybands and tiger-head shoes, which were obviously gifts for the unborn child.

Gu Wanying looked at them one by one and asked Feicui to remember them all.

As I looked, I saw a set of valuable head ornaments, which was exactly the same as the hairpin.

Gu Wanying knew immediately that it was something sent by Concubine Shu. Yuetao nodded, it was indeed Concubine Shu.

"Warning! This set of jewelry is highly toxic! Wearing it for a long time will cause infertility!" The alarm of the fertility system sounded again.

Gu Wanying thought that Concubine Shu was crazy. She was a little disdainful of using the same method twice!

Does she really want to kill herself?

As long as she had a miscarriage and could never get pregnant again, she would not be able to become the destined person predicted by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, nor would she be able to bear children for the emperor!

Then no matter how much the emperor likes her, her final end will only be death!

Concubine Shu!

What a vicious heart!

Since she can't give birth herself, she doesn't allow others to have children. Is she a psychopath?

I don’t know if the assassination that night had anything to do with her?

Gu Wanying was shocked by this sudden idea!

She had not originally linked Concubine Shu to the assassination, but now, she suddenly sent a clue. Does this count as walking into a trap?
