Chapter 287 The Enemy Is Not a Female Family Member
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Jingheng was so shocked that he could not be more shocked. "You took off your imperial concubine's clothes and returned the imperial seal. Do you want to break up with me forever?"
Ning Wanshuang chuckled lightly, but didn't even look at him, and said calmly:
"The Emperor advocates Mohism and allows equality for all. For ordinary people, if the wife is unwilling and unwilling to obey, and the couple becomes divorced, they can also ask for a divorce, which is called a peaceful divorce."
She raised her head, her tears stopped abruptly, and she looked at Jamel Xiao with an extremely firm gaze.
"Today, Wan'er and Xiao Lang only hope to part ways and live in peace."
"You're crazy! You're outrageous!"
Xiao Jingheng was so surprised that he couldn't even speak clearly. He suddenly leaned over and pinched Ning Wanshuang's chin fiercely, forcing her to look directly at him.
"I am the Son of Heaven, not an ordinary citizen! You are my concubine, and I will not divorce you. You have no right to leave me in this life!"
Ning Wanshuang couldn't struggle anymore, so she closed her eyes in vain.
Her expression was very cold, so cold that there was no warmth at all, so cold that it was frightening.
The jade skin seemed to burn Xiao Jingheng's hand.
He suddenly let go of Ning Wanshuang, and with disbelief on his face, he shook his head and took a few steps back.
It was not until he reached the corner of the table that he calmed down and regained some of his sanity.
"Tonight, both you and I are drunk. Whatever nonsense you say, I will just treat it as drunken talk and will not bother with you. It's late, please go to bed early, my concubine."
After the words fell,
He turned around and ran away as if escaping.

At the same time, in Song Zhao's room.
"It seems very suitable to me."
Rong Yue made a new bellyband for Cheng Yuxin and is now trying it out on the child.
The bellyband fits Chengyu's current body shape perfectly, neither too big nor too small.
"This is just right. If it's any bigger, it would be uncomfortable."
Song Zhao smiled, "The child changes every day. I made a bellyband that fits him, but it became too small after just a few days of wearing it. Why don't I make it bigger so that Chengyu can wear it for a longer time, which will be worth my effort."
"If it's too small, I'll hurry up and make it for him. If it's too big, it will be too loose and our little Chengyu won't be comfortable wearing it."
Rong Yue gently stroked the child's soft and dense hair, and her smile became even wider, "Isn't it, little Chengyu?"
The child giggled at her, as if responding.
Song Zhao pretended to be helpless and said, "Well, you two have two mouths, I can't argue with you."
Rong Yue took her hand and changed the subject:
"Zhao'er, the queen will be returning to the palace tomorrow, and we should also set off for Hangzhou. Hangzhou is my mother's home, and my father made great contributions a few days ago. Perhaps this is why the emperor took me on the southern tour. But it's okay, you have never been to Hangzhou, and I can accompany you to have a good look around."
As he spoke, he gradually lowered his voice, "Now that the Queen is gone, the Emperor intends to promote the Imperial Concubine to the Imperial Concubine. By the time your birthday comes, and the Emperor knows that you have good news, I guess the Emperor will at least grant you the title of Imperial Concubine."
Song Zhao said: "There has never been a saying that a concubine can be promoted if she is pregnant. Let's wait and see."
"Mom...Mom~~"
As the two chatted, a childish voice suddenly rang out in Song Zhao's arms.
Rong Yue was pleasantly surprised and asked, "This... is this the child calling you?"
[Basically, children all over the world call their mothers first. The Three Kingdoms "Guangya·Shiqin" says: "Ma is mother." "Ba is father." There is no such weird ancient child who calls mothers "mother", "mother concubine" or "mother" in such a weird way. 】
Song Zhao couldn't believe it for a moment and thought he had heard it wrong.
She hugged Chengyu tighter. The child grabbed her hair playfully and shouted twice in a loud voice.
"Mom, mom~"
"Hey, mother is here~"
Song Zhao happily agreed, smiling brightly and said:
"Sister, did you hear that? This little guy's cry made my heart soften."
"How could I not hear it? Look at you, you are laughing so hard that you can't stop."
Rong Yue caressed the delicate skin of the child's cheek. She didn't know what she was thinking about. Her eyes felt sore and she blinked several times to hide her tears.
"That's great. An eight-month-old baby can already speak. He's really smart."
At this time of joy, Xiao Fuzi hurried in to report,
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor are having a quarrel."
"What's the fuss?"
"I can't find out the details. I only know that the emperor smashed the dishes at the imperial concubine's place, and the imperial concubine presented the imperial seal and seal, and also said something ridiculous like she wanted to divorce the emperor. The emperor was angry and left in anger..."
Song Zhao's heart tightened and he was speechless for a moment.
Rong Yue sneered, "It seems that she has completely fallen out with the emperor because of her mother's family. But it's true, it's not so easy to get over the revenge of her father's murder. The imperial concubine is so arrogant. Now she has done something so outrageous. Her father and brother are dead and she is despised by the emperor. How can she live to be laughed at?"
Xiao Fuzi echoed, "That's right. I heard that the imperial concubine locked herself in her room and didn't allow anyone to serve her. She and the emperor were both drunk. If she said that the wine made her sad and she couldn't think straight, that's true."
Cheng Yu in his arms learned to speak and kept calling Song Zhao over and over.
Song Zhao lowered his eyebrows and looked at the dimples on Cheng Yu's face. The scene of Ning Wanshuang sacrificing herself to save Cheng Yu in the past flashed through his mind.
Somehow, she always felt uneasy.
She handed Chengyu to the nurse and then stood up and straightened her clothes, "I'll go take a look."
"What are you going to do?" Rong Yue hurriedly pulled her back, "Zhao'er, don't be confused. The Queen is now disliked by the Emperor, and the Imperial Concubine is also blamed by the Emperor. You are the only one who stands out in the harem. At this time, why are you still caring about her?"
Song Zhao said, "If she hadn't saved Cheng Yu that day, how could I have the joy of mother and son today? Besides, she and the emperor have had a disagreement, and I'm afraid their relationship will be difficult to repair in the future. I just went to see her, not to persuade the emperor to be on good terms with her, so it won't be a problem."
"Zhao'er!" Rong Yue still didn't let go, and said in a more serious tone:
"Don't blame me for being nosy. In this deep palace, without the queen, the imperial concubine is your biggest obstacle. If you want to go further, you have to be cruel and hope that she dies soon. If she dies, you will have one less enemy."
Rong Yue's words of persuasion made sense, and were all done with Song Zhao in mind.
In fact, why does she need to explain these truths?
In the past, this is what Song Zhao was thinking:
Watching those women playing games with each other, pulling each other, and defeating each other,
She just needs to sit back and do nothing, and reap the benefits.
But after being in the palace for a long time, Song Zhao felt more and more that the life in the harem was really that simple.
She was silent for a long time before she said to Rong Yue:
"My enemies have never been these women in the harem, nor should they be. The root of the harem's struggles is the emperor. Where I can go in the future depends entirely on how long I can hold the emperor's heart, not on how many more cold corpses are added to the harem."
Song Zhao was determined to leave, and Rong Yue could not persuade him any further.
I had to let go and shook my head helplessly.
Song Zhao's residence was not far from Ning Wanshuang's.
When she arrived, she saw Liu Yue and Kang Yubin pacing anxiously at the door.
Seeing her coming, the two of them hurriedly greeted Song Zhao.
"Good health, Empress Yi."
Song Zhao said, "Where is the Imperial Concubine?"
Liu Yue said with a sad face: "The master locked the door and said she was tired and wanted to rest. There was no movement inside. No matter how I called her, she didn't respond. We are at a loss..."
Song Zhao looked at the locked door and felt something was wrong. He said hurriedly:
"Xiao Fuzi, break the door open!"
