Especially the lifelike phoenix shape on it, as if it can spread its wings and fly away in an instant, implying something that is not too obvious.

Lin Zixi pretended not to understand and curled the corners of his lips calmly, "Sister, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."

"What I mean is what you mean in your heart! Sister, don't you want to be the queen mother?"

Xue Fei raised her eyebrows and said it bluntly.

She was talking about the Queen Mother, not the Queen, which made Lin Zixi burst into laughter.

"Sister, why are you so confused? I'm not even the queen now, how can I be the queen mother?"

"Why not? Now is your chance to become the Queen Mother. But it depends on you, my sister, whether you know what's good for you and whether you are willing to let your child succeed!"

This time, Xue Fei stated her purpose.

Lin Zixi was no fool, he understood what she meant instantly, his heart was shaken violently, his face darkened.

Concubine Xue sneered without disguising, "I know that you have different feelings for Wen Chenxuan, and I also know that you knew each other before entering the palace, but he was still completely fascinated by me. How can you still expect his love now?"

"He is the emperor. You can't be the only woman with him. You can't have the one and only him! Besides, the child in your belly is unlikely to be born with Chu Ranxin, a bitch, around. Besides, she is pregnant with another one, and it's still unknown who will win. She and the Marquis have a deep father-daughter relationship, and she grew up in the Marquis's mansion since she was young. Why do you think the Marquis will love you more?"

There were some things she didn't say directly, but she grasped Lin Zixi's lifeline just right.

Lin Zixi clenched his fingers, a trace of fear arose in his heart.

Just now, Concubine Xue did not say "Chu Ranxin is the Marquis's biological daughter", but used other descriptions to highlight that Chu Ranxin is more important in the Marquis's heart.

This means that she has already investigated the true relationship between herself and the Marquis!

She had been hiding it for so many years, how could she know?

Lin Zixi quickly figured it out. At this moment, she was not representing herself, but Watten!

We are all smart people, so there is no need to say more about some things.

Lin Zixi took a breath and said helplessly, "You are right. If I really have to choose, the Marquis will not choose me..."

If I had chosen her, I wouldn't have left her alone.

She wouldn't gamble on this matter, as she couldn't afford the consequences if she lost.

Xue Fei then walked around behind Lin Zixi, put her hands on her shoulders, and then on her slightly bulging belly.

"If you are willing to cooperate with us, Wateng, my brother will not treat you and your child unfairly. When the time comes, let your unborn child inherit the throne. You will be the most glorious queen mother, and you will no longer have to live under someone else's roof. No one will ever look down on you again, and you won't have to kowtow to anyone..."

Every word she said hit the point that Lin Zixi cared about, as if it was just to seduce her.

Xue Fei took out a small bottle and handed it to Lin Zixi.

The blue bottle was glowing and looked extremely beautiful, but inside it was a poison that could penetrate the intestines.

"To show your sincerity, we can check and balance each other in the future. You will personally poison the emperor's food. This poison will not kill people, but it will cause them to die within a few months. After he dies, your child can ascend to the throne, and you will be the Empress Dowager!"

Lin Zixi's heart moved slightly, and he clenched his teeth, not knowing how to choose for a moment.

It’s not because he still has feelings for Wen Chenxuan, but he just doubts whether what Xue Fei said is true.

Even if Wateng really made the baby in her belly the emperor, he would just be looking for a puppet, and the lives of mother and child would be difficult.

If she revealed this matter, Wen Chenxuan would definitely look up to her.

But then again, Wen Chenxuan's health was getting worse day by day, and he was so obsessed with Xue Fei that he might not believe her words, and she didn't have any evidence...

But if she did so, she would be charged with poisoning the emperor, which would be a serious crime. What would she do if the past was brought up later?

Lin Zixi no longer wants to be controlled by anyone, she just wants to live proudly alone!

The choice is crucial at this moment. Lin Zixi naturally cannot refuse directly, but he doesn't want to agree either.

But no matter what she does, there is no method that is completely beneficial to her at the moment!

After a moment, a trace of worry flashed across her lips, "But I still don't know whether the baby in my belly is a boy or a girl. That's a matter for the future! I don't even know if I can keep the baby. Let me think about it again!"

"Okay, I'll give you some time. There's no rush."

Xue Fei's gaze fell on Lin Zixi, and without further explanation, she turned and left.

As soon as she left, Lin Zixi's face turned gloomy.

The fact that Concubine Xue could say this meant that the last poisoning incident had nothing to do with her.

She hoped that she would give birth to a child for the use of Wei Wateng, so that she would not harm the child. Could it be Chu Ranxin?

Thinking of Chu Ranxin's damnable face, the hatred and unwillingness in her heart surged to the peak.

Why is she born nobler than her? She just wants to suppress Chu Ranxin and make her be inferior to her forever and suffer in this life!

She was pregnant and soon became tired.

Lying on the bed, caressing her belly gently, she recalled every moment she had spent with Wen Chenxuan in the past.

They had known each other for a long time and had spent countless happy days together. Now it was really a little difficult for her to kill him with her own hands.

She didn't get much love from her father, so she didn't want the baby in her belly to be born without a father...

The more she thought about it, the more painful her mind became, and she could only force herself not to think too much.

She didn't even notice that a head quietly retreated out of the window not far away...

Palace.

Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi were looking at military maps, studying how to deal with Waten, completely conquer them, and incorporate them into the territory.

There are also several neighboring countries that have been ready to make moves. Only by incorporating them all into the country's territory can the people get real peace.

At this time, his subordinates brought a letter.

After reading the entire content, Chu Weiyue sneered coldly, "I never thought that at such an old age, Lin Zixi would still be so arrogant. Do you think she is really in love with Wen Chenxuan?"

Wen Jingchi frowned slightly and glanced at Chu Weiyue. "I have to ask you this! You spend the most time with her, so you should understand her thoughts best!"

Chu Weiyue bit her lip and muttered quietly in her heart.

Suddenly I remembered what Lin Zixi had done to Chu Ranxin's jade pendant.

If she didn't love Wen Chenxuan deeply, how could she do such a little thing!

"I think she must have deep feelings for Wen Chenxuan. The fact that they knew each other in the past is puzzling to me. And my father's reaction to Lin Zixi seems to go beyond ordinary relatives..."
