Jiang Jingyue already knew that she had been faking it all along, so she wasn't surprised when she suddenly acted like this.
“Consort Jing, does the way you are going to make you want to monopolize the Emperor? You can’t be so selfish. Besides, you’re pregnant. You should be advising the Emperor to share his favors more evenly.”
Consort Xian's words were reasonable and well-founded, and the other concubines couldn't help but nod in agreement, agreeing with her.
Zhao Furong above had been waiting for this moment. After the Consort Xian finished speaking, she slowly followed suit.
"I think Consort Xian makes sense. What do you think, Consort Jing?"
Zhao Furong immediately shifted the topic to Jiang Jingyue, and then kept staring at Jiang Jingyue, wanting to see how Jiang Jingyue would handle it.
Jiang Jingyue knew what they wanted to hear, but she just didn't want them to have their way.
"Your Majesty, I have advised you to visit the palaces of the ladies in the harem more often, but Your Majesty is unwilling. There is nothing I can do about it. If the Imperial Noble Consort wishes Your Majesty to visit your palace, she can speak to Your Majesty herself. I cannot influence Your Majesty."
Jiang Jingyue's words were a clear refusal, and Zhao Furong's expression immediately turned sour.
She looked at Jiang Jingyue with a grim expression, but Jiang Jingyue was completely unaffected by her.
At this moment, Su Changde rushed in from outside. As soon as he entered, he ignored Zhao Furong and the others as if he didn't see them. He didn't even bow and went straight to Jiang Jingyue.
"Consort Jing, my little darling! Why are you here at this time? Usually at this time, doesn't the Emperor tell you to wait for him in your palace so he can watch you drink your medicine? Now the Emperor is in his palace and hasn't seen you, Consort Jing, and he's throwing a tantrum. Consort Jing, you should hurry back with this servant!"
Su Changde looked anxious, wishing he could grab Jiang Jingyue and run away right away.
But he knew it wouldn't work. Consort Jing was pregnant and couldn't do strenuous exercise. If something happened later, Su Changde wouldn't be able to handle it.
When Jiang Jingyue heard Su Changde say that, she realized that she had indeed forgotten to take her medicine.
Normally, no matter how busy Mo Yuhan is, he will always make time to come back and watch Jiang Jingyue take her medicine at this time.
This hadn't happened before, but after Jiang Jingyue secretly poured out the medicine once and was discovered by Mo Yuhan, Mo Yuhan no longer trusted Jiang Jingyue to drink the medicine by herself, because he was worried that Jiang Jingyue would pour it out again later.
Jiang Jingyue looked at Zhao Furong's face and it turned green instantly. For a moment, she found it inexplicably funny.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is summoning me, so I shall take my leave now."
After Jiang Jingyue left, Zhao Furong lost control of her temper and overturned all the sachets beside her to the ground.
The other concubines, witnessing this scene, dared not even breathe, fearing they might inadvertently become the target of the Imperial Noble Consort's attacks.
"Your Highness, I just remembered that I still have some unfinished business in the palace, so I will take my leave now."
Consort Xian was the first to leave, but before she could even step out of Furong Palace, she was stopped by someone.
She had just stood up to leave when she heard Zhao Furong's voice.
"Wait a moment, Consort Xian will stay behind, everyone else may go back first!"
When Consort Xian heard this, her face stiffened. She wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare. In the end, she had no choice but to stay.
After everyone had left, Consort Xian looked at Zhao Furong above and slowly asked.
"Your Highness, Imperial Noble Consort, you've asked me to stay. Is there something important you want to tell me?"
Zhao Furong nodded, glanced at Consort Xian, and suddenly asked.
"Consort Xian, I know you desire the Emperor's favor, but on our own, we may not be able to do anything to Consort Jing. However, if we cooperate, then..."
Zhao Furong didn't finish her sentence, but those who understood understood.
"Whatever the Imperial Noble Consort requires of me."
Consort Xian's words made Zhao Furong nod in satisfaction, and she nodded to Yuehe behind her.
Then Yuehe took out a package and slowly handed it to Zhao Furong.
"Your Highness, the things are here."
After the Imperial Noble Consort took the item, you handed it to the Virtuous Consort in front of you. The Virtuous Consort looked somewhat puzzled as she took the item.
Before she could even ask, Zhao Furong spoke up first.
"The powder inside this thing is demonic essence. If a pregnant woman inhales this thing and reaches a certain dosage, the baby in her womb will slip out without her noticing."
Moreover, if others investigate, they won't find any trace; they'll just conclude that Consort Jing's child was miscarried naturally. As for what to do next, that's up to you.
Consort Xian took the things from Zhao Furong's hands, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask.
"Your Highness, are you sure this thing won't be discovered? What if it's found out that I made it?"
Zhao Furong immediately looked at her with a serious expression, her eyes full of reassuring smiles.
"With me here, what are you afraid of? If anything really happens, I will definitely protect you, so don't worry!"
After hearing Zhao Furong's words, Consort Xian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately nodded to Zhao Furong in front of her.
"Your Highness, please rest assured! I will do my best to complete the task you assigned. Once that vixen is gone, His Majesty will surely see us."
Zhao Furong nodded in satisfaction, as she had thought so too. She waved to the Consort Xian in front of her, signaling that she could leave.
Consort Xian immediately understood Zhao Furong's meaning. She really should go back. She needed to think carefully about how to deliver this thing to Consort Jing's palace without anyone noticing.
Moreover, it can make her inhale things without her noticing.
This is a difficult problem. Consort Xian hasn't come up with any solutions yet. There's nothing she can do but go back and think about it some more.
And we need to come up with a foolproof plan so that it doesn't implicate her.
Therefore, in this case, a scapegoat must be found; the person cannot step forward themselves.
After returning home, Consort Xian thought long and hard and came up with a plan. She summoned her personal maid, whispered a few words in her ear, and the maid nodded and left.
Watching the maid leave, Consort Xian smiled with satisfaction.
