Since the Queen Mother learned that Chu Mingrou might be pregnant, she focused all her attention on her, so she dismissed all the concubines and asked them to return to the palace.
Ye Jinyun took Qing'er and followed the crowd back. At this time, Concubine Xian, who had been in the palace and had not spoken much, came to her side.
With a smile on his face, he said: "Sister Yun Zhaoyi, let's go together."
Ye Jinyun also put on a fake smile and nodded to her.
I know she has bad intentions, but I can't just chase her away.
The two walked side by side, one on the left and one on the right. After a while, Concubine Xian spoke in a gentle tone:
"This Chu Zhaoyi is truly blessed. The Emperor summoned her to his bed a few times before, and she became pregnant. This kind of blessing is truly something we cannot even ask for. If she can give birth to a prince for the Emperor in the future, the status of the two Concubine sisters in the palace will probably rise step by step."
Ye Jinyun raised an eyebrow in his heart. Why, seeing that Chu Mingrou was pregnant, she couldn't sit still and wanted to instigate her to take action? It seemed that she was not very patient.
Ye Jinyun smiled slightly and said deliberately:
"Yes, Sister Concubine Xian, Chu Zhaoyi is truly blessed. If only I could have this blessing, I would be able to gain a firm foothold in this palace."
When Empress Xian heard her say this, her smile grew even wider.
He spoke softly to her:
"Sister Yun Zhaoyi, as your elder sister, I must remind you that although you are currently favored by the Emperor, if Chu Zhaoyi's baby is born, the Emperor will probably no longer see you. Just look at the Empress Dowager's attitude and you will know that in this palace, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not as important as an heir to the throne."
Ye Jinyun lowered her head and sneered in her heart, haha, she knew that the royal heir was important in the eyes of the emperor and the empress dowager, but she still wanted to instigate her to take action. Did they really think she was stupid?
Seeing that she was keeping her head down and silent, Concubine Xian thought she was hesitating, so she directly provoked her:
"Sister Yun Zhaoyi is so smart. I believe she knows what to do without me saying anything more. Think about it, if Chu Zhaoyi's pregnancy fails, the imperial concubines and sisters will not be your rivals in the palace in the future. Don't you want to sit on the throne of the queen yourself in the future?"
Ye Jinyun glanced at her, feeling even more disgusted with her. The Queen's throne? She probably wanted to sit on it herself.
Not wanting to argue with her any further, he nodded as if he had listened to her, then said he was not feeling well and left with Qing'er.
Empress Xian stood there and watched her leaving, a mocking smile on her lips.
Humph, she is just a pretty face, and she persuaded her in no time.
She turned around and glanced in the direction of Shoukang Palace, and the ambition on her face was hard to conceal.
The position of queen can only be hers! Even if she is not favored, so what? She will let them wait and see.
…
After returning to Yingquan Palace, Ye Jinyun went straight to find Lin Qingtang.
As soon as she entered the room and found a place to sit down, she poured herself two cups of tea and drank them down in gulps. The expression on Concubine Xian's face just now really disgusted her.
Lin Qingtang watched her rush into the house and drink water without saying a word, with a puzzled look on his face:
"What's wrong with you? You look so ugly, and you're drinking water like a cow."
After two cups of tea, Ye Jinyun finally felt better. When she heard Lin Qingtang ask her this, she wiped her mouth and said:
"You don't know, I was so sick just now. That Concubine Xian kept talking to me, and her words were trying to provoke me to deal with Chu Mingrou's fetus. Looking at her face, I would have vomited if I stayed any longer."
Lin Qingtang also said with disdain:
"I met her once before, and she seemed quite approachable. I didn't expect her to be such a mean person. You can't judge a person by his appearance."
Ye Jinyun nodded. That’s right. If it were someone else, they might have suffered the same fate as her.
She remembered something else and told Qing'er to close the door. She took Lin Qingtang's hand and went into the inner room.
Lin Qingtang looked at her serious face and was puzzled: "Do you have something important to tell me?"
Ye Jinyun nodded and lowered his voice and said: "You just heard me say that Chu Mingrou is pregnant."
"She's pregnant, so she's lucky. Why do you care so much?"
Ye Jinyun glanced at her with a serious expression.
"Listen to me, there's a secret I've never told any of you before. In fact, back when we were at the Linchang Villa, I overheard Chu Mingrou talking to her mother. They mentioned some medicine and that if they were discovered, they would be beheaded.
So I think there might be something fishy about her pregnancy, and it's very likely caused by that medicine. So I want you to ask your second brother to find someone outside the palace to check and see if there's any medicine that can make a person look pregnant."
Lin Qingtang's expression turned serious when he heard this. If what she said was true, then the problem was serious. Moreover, the Chu family was involved, so it might have been planned for a long time.
From arranging Chu Mingrou to enter the palace, to taking medicine to pretend to be pregnant, and then...
Her eyes flashed, and she probably knew what they were going to do.
Some people have to be someone else's servant all their lives, and they are never satisfied.
Ye Jinyun looked at the cold light that flashed in her eyes and asked in a low voice:
"Did you guess something? There is a high possibility that there is something wrong with her medicine, right?"
Lin Qingtang looked at her and nodded:
"It's very likely. I'll have someone bring the news to my second brother right away. He has many friends in the martial arts world and may be able to help."
After hearing her say this, Ye Jinyun felt much more at ease. She believed in the strength of her second brother Lin Qingtang.
