He used to have nothing to fear, but now he suddenly has a weakness: Jiang Jingyue and the child in her womb.
No one can harm Jiang Jingyue. Mo Yuhan felt it was time to clean up the people in the palace, otherwise Jiang Jingyue might be in danger every day.
Meanwhile, Consort Xian was also trying to figure out a way to get Jiang Jingyue to absorb the demon powder without her noticing, which was a difficult task.
Now, Consort Xian is stumped on this matter and doesn't know what to do.
Just then, a maid came in carrying a pot of flowers. Upon seeing the pot of flowers, something flashed through Consort Xian's mind.
"Chun'er, bring the flowers over here so I can take a look."
Chun'er was a little puzzled, wondering why her mistress had suddenly become interested in this flower. However, she didn't ask any further questions. If her mistress wanted it, she would just send it to her.
If you want to live well in the palace, you must remember one thing: do what you should do, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask.
"Does this flower need to be changed every day, or should it be changed every now and then?"
Chun'er blinked, somewhat puzzled.
"Your Highness, it depends on the variety of flower. In our palace, since you mentioned that you like this kind of crabapple blossom, we usually change the flowers every three days. Each consort in the palace has different favorite flowers."
Chun'er's words made Consort Xian's eyes light up immediately; she seemed to know what to do.
"Do you know what kind of flowers are usually used in Consort Jing's palace, and how often they are changed?"
Although she didn't know why her mistress asked that question, Chun'er still nodded.
"Your Highness, Consort Jing likes lotus flowers. Just a few days ago, I saw Consort Jing's maid leading people to pick lotus flowers by the pond. So Consort Jing must like lotus flowers."
When Consort Xian heard that Jiang Jingyue liked lotus flowers, her eyes lit up immediately.
Since that's the case, then she should focus her efforts on the flowers.
"Does this flower last a little longer than other flowers?"
When Consort Xian heard Chun'er nod, she was immediately satisfied.
"As for this, think of a way to have someone stuff it into the heart of the flower that Consort Jing likes. Remember to be very careful when doing this kind of thing."
Chun'er nodded. Although she didn't understand what Consort Xian meant, she kept nodding in agreement. Upon hearing Consort Xian's arrangement, she immediately stood up.
"Your Highness, don't worry! This servant will go and make the arrangements now. We'll find a time later, when Consort Jing is not around, to scatter the stuff in."
Consort Xian was very pleased with Chun'er's words and immediately nodded. She thought that people who like flowers would subconsciously walk to the flowers to smell them, which would give her the opportunity to administer the drug.
Consort Xian thought that as long as the Demon Powder was sprinkled on the flower, Jiang Jingyue would definitely inhale some of it when she went over to smell it.
"Also, remember to keep a close eye on the maid who changes the flowers in Consort Jing's palace. Find out how often she changes the flowers so that we can sprinkle the medicine on them at the same time after she changes the flowers."
Chun'er nodded. Although she didn't know what the medicine was for, she knew that her mistress must have her reasons for asking her to do this.
"Your Highness, I will take care of it right away. At this time, Consort Jing is about to go for a walk. I will send someone over to make the arrangements now."
Jiang Jingyue does have a habit, which she developed after she became pregnant.
That means that after each meal, she has to go for a walk outside to help her stomach digest the food faster.
Just after Jiang Jingyue took Qiu Hua out, a figure quietly slipped into her palace.
Jiang Jingyue, who was outside, knew nothing of all this. She was just thinking about taking a good walk, which would be beneficial for having a baby later.
Jiang Jingyue had just finished walking around and was about to go back when she was suddenly stopped in her way.
Looking at the person in front of her, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but frown.
"Your Highness, what are you trying to do by stopping me? I need to go and fetch His Majesty. If you stop me, what will happen if His Majesty is delayed in returning to his palace?"
That's why Zhao Furong is blocking the way.
She immediately spoke to Jiang Jingyue.
"Consort Jing, you are now pregnant and can no longer serve the Emperor. You should give way to him. I will handle the matter of bringing the Emperor back to his palace today."
"Don't worry, I will serve His Majesty well and will not displease him. You may return to your palace now!"
After Zhao Furong finished speaking, she waved to the people behind her and looked at Jiang Jingyue aggressively.
"Consort Jing, what do you think? Are you going to leave on your own or should I have someone escort you away?"
Jiang Jingyue looked at the people standing behind Zhao Furong and knew that there was no way she could struggle now. She could only nod, take a step back, and turn to leave.
There are more of them now, and there are only two of them, so they have no way to fight back.
"Then, Your Highness, I will take my leave now. I will leave the matter of His Majesty to you."
Seeing how cooperative Jiang Jingyue was, Zhao Furong was quite satisfied and nodded at her.
Qiu Hua stood beside Jiang Jingyue and tugged at Jiang Jingyue's clothes. Although she didn't say anything, Jiang Jingyue immediately understood what she meant.
Seeing Qiu Hua's anxious expression, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but comfort her.
"Qiuhua, you don't need to worry. Do you think that just because I gave the Imperial Noble Consort this opportunity, she can take the Emperor away? That's incredibly naive. Let's go back to the palace! Let's wait back there. The Emperor will definitely come to our Qianyue Palace tonight. Let's go back and make some preparations."
Qiu Hua didn't know why her master was so confident, but as long as it was true, Qiu Hua believed it.
When Jiang Jingyue returned to her palace, she immediately lay down on the bed, completely unconcerned about what would happen to Mo Yuhan next.
Seeing her like this, Qiu Hua, who was standing next to her, couldn't bear it any longer and couldn't help but ask Jiang Jingyue a question.
"Your Majesty, are you really not worried that the Emperor will be taken away by the Imperial Noble Consort later?"
