No, it won’t!
No matter what, the imperial concubine was unwilling to believe that the plan she had worked so hard to set up had ended up serving someone else!
But the Queen's words just now were like a thorn in her heart, reminding her of this fact all the time.
No wonder she waited for a long time by the lake last night but didn't receive His Majesty's summons. It turned out that someone got there first! When she thought about how she risked her life to win His Majesty's favor, and ended up using it as a breakthrough for someone else to get close to him, the imperial concubine was immediately furious!
Her face was ferocious because of her gnashing teeth, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost pulled away by her! The people present saw the expression of the imperial concubine, thinking that she was very angry about the arrogance of the virtuous concubine, and they were very excited!
The angrier the Imperial Concubine is, the more miserable the fate of the Virtuous Concubine will be!
But after seeing the hideous look on the imperial concubine's face, the queen thought differently from everyone else. She narrowed her eyes, probably guessing that the imperial concubine must have done something stupid again and benefited others, which was why she was so angry.
She gave the imperial concubine a mocking look, saying that she was always more likely to cause trouble than to help. The time for paying respects had passed, but the virtuous imperial concubine that everyone had been waiting for had not shown up. She was filled with anger, and in the end, she could only come in anger and leave in anger.
After everyone had left Fengyi Palace, the imperial concubine, who was filled with rage, stood up. Just as she was about to leave, the queen's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"I'm afraid that Concubine Xian will be filled with gratitude to her sister in the future."
The bland words sounded particularly harsh to the imperial concubine's ears. She stopped and turned to look at the queen in anger.
"Queen, don't be too proud. If you have time to mock me, you might as well think about how to keep your position as queen!"
"When have you ever seen His Majesty favor someone so much? She was given the title of Consort Xian after just one night of sleeping with him. If she could gain His Majesty's exclusive favor and whisper in His Majesty's ear, how long do you think you can stay on the throne of Queen?"
The imperial concubine looked at the queen with a ferocious face. Even though the queen mocked her, she would not let the queen feel good!
The queen clenched her hands and pretended to be calm as she looked at the imperial concubine who was angry at her in front of the palace.
"Please don't worry about my affairs, sister. If you are concerned about me, you should think about how to get out of this situation if His Majesty investigates it thoroughly."
"You! Let's wait and see!"
The imperial concubine glared at the queen fiercely, then stomped away angrily.
Eunuch Luo, who had been following the Imperial Concubine, also understood what happened last night. He didn't care who got the favor of His Majesty because of the Imperial Concubine. He would be thankful as long as he could prove that the medicine he gave was fine! The Imperial Concubine got on the sedan chair and urged the palace servants to rush back to Zhaoyang Palace. The first thing she did when she returned to the palace was to dismiss the palace servants, leaving only Eunuch Luo to question.
"Eunuch Luo, you said that the Soul-Snatching Powder is colorless and odorless, and even the imperial physician can't find any clues. Is that true?"
"To answer your Majesty's question, even if you give me a hundred guts, I would not dare to lie to you. That's exactly what the medicine seller said!"
Eunuch Luo lowered his head, not daring to lie in the slightest.
After confirming it again and again, the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good, I will trust you again for once. If I can survive this disaster safely, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
"Thank you, my lady!"
——
The virtuous concubine, who had been waited for by everyone, was still lying on the dragon bed exhausted.
Ever since Jiang Li promised personally that she would stay with Song Chengyin in the future, Song Chengyin was extremely happy, and immediately asked someone to draft an imperial decree to confer her the vacant position as the Virtuous Consort among the Four Consorts.
It gave her the right to stay by his side.
Song Chengyin felt sorry for Jiang Li and exempted her from the morning and evening visits. She could sleep as late as she wanted and did not have to greet anyone, not even the queen who was the mistress of the harem.
He said that he would be her support in the future, and she would not have to look at anyone's face even within the palace walls.
Jiang Li was sleeping soundly when the system's voice suddenly came into her head. She opened her eyes suddenly and sat up abruptly from the bed.
The tyrant's favorability has reached 80%, and she has successfully served him in bed, so she can complete the small world mission.
But Jiang Li did not choose to exchange for the fertility potion, but instead exchanged for the fake pregnancy potion.
Jiang Li, who has rewatched "Legend of Zhen Huan" five or six times, knows very well that the harem is a very treacherous place. The tyrant has not set foot in the harem for three months. Her sudden favor from the emperor will certainly arouse the jealousy of the concubines. Maybe there are many sinister tricks waiting for her behind the scenes!
The tyrant's getting tricked this time was most likely related to the imperial concubine. Since the imperial concubine was able to give the tyrant aphrodisiac without anyone noticing, maybe she could secretly use a trick to make him have a miscarriage one day.
To be on the safe side, Jiang Li took a fake pregnancy potion.
The symptoms were exactly the same as those of a real pregnancy; even the imperial physician who came to take her pulse could find nothing abnormal.
Jiang Li had just taken the fake pregnancy potion when Song Chengyin came back from the morning court.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Li hurriedly covered herself with the quilt and lay down pretending to sleep. It was not that she was playing hard to get, but she had been single since birth and didn't know how to get along with Song Chengyin in the future.
Should I flatter him and please him in every way, just like in the TV series? I'm afraid that according to his personality, this will backfire, right? After thinking about it, Jiang Li decided to play dead for the time being.
After Song Chengyin returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he went to the bedroom first. When he saw the small ball on the couch, he curled his lips and a tender look appeared in his eyes.
Hearing his footsteps getting closer, Jiang Li, who was pretending to be asleep, nervously clutched the quilt, and her eyelashes fluttered.
When Song Chengyin came to the bed, he knew at a glance that Jiang Li was pretending to sleep, but he did not expose her. He leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.
"Ali, I'm back."
Jiang Li closed her eyes and pretended not to hear.
Song Chengyin bent over and looked at her lovingly. After seeing Jiang Li's trembling eyelashes, he gently picked up a strand of her black hair and was about to brush her eyelashes when Eunuch Su walked in.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Zhang is here and he said he has something important to report."
Doctor Zhang? Jiang Li pricked up her ears. She remembered that Song Chengyin had ordered someone to take his clothes and food to the Imperial Hospital this morning, asking Doctor Zhang to take a look to see if there was anything strange.
Could it be that Doctor Zhang has already found out the result?
No, she has to go over and listen!
Thinking of this, Jiang Li found an opportunity and woke up slowly.
After seeing Song Seung-in, she pretended to be surprised: "Your Majesty? Is it time to leave the court?"
As she spoke, she stood up and the quilt slipped off her body, revealing her white underwear.
Even wearing a blouse with a narrow neckline, it was difficult to hide the dense red marks on her neck.
Song Chengyin's eyes gradually became darker, and he stared at her without blinking.
Jiang Li, who was looking for her shoes, did not notice his expression. She looked around the bed but couldn't find her shoes. She looked up and found that her shoes were lying across the middle of the bedroom.
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she was about to put on her shoes barefoot when her body suddenly flew into the air!
