Chapter 133 The Imperial Concubine is Using Her as a Shield Again Today
However, Jiang He did not prepare tea or snacks for anyone.
"All of you sisters are pregnant now, and I don't know what you can and can't eat while pregnant. I'm afraid that the things I've prepared might contain something you shouldn't, so I won't prepare anything for you sisters."
The virtuous concubine and the others did not care.
Even if they prepare, they won't touch it.
"There's still incense burning in my Phoenix Palace. I'm not sure if it will bother the younger sisters. Let's go to the courtyard outside. I just acquired a few new pots of chrysanthemums; let's all go take a look."
The group then arrived at the pavilion outside the courtyard.
The Emperor's plans for desserts, tea, and incense all failed to materialize.
Upon hearing the news, the Emperor felt dizzy and wondered what the Imperial Concubine was up to.
Shouldn't we try to get rid of all the babies in their wombs?
Why is she even thinking about them? Doesn't she know what she'll face if they have the children?
You really don't know?
The Emperor thought about the Consort's reaction; she seemed completely unconcerned that others had children.
It seems we need to let the Imperial Concubine know how serious it is to let someone else give birth to her child.
For the next few days, the Emperor did not visit the Imperial Concubine, but instead went to see the Virtuous Concubine and the others every day.
They even had palace servants intentionally or unintentionally mention to the Imperial Concubine that the Emperor had a child and his attention was completely drawn to the child, so he no longer remembered the other concubines in the harem.
Although the Emperor currently favors the Imperial Concubine, this favor is only temporary.
In the future, when other concubines have children, they can use the children as an excuse to compete for the emperor's favor.
Moreover, the Imperial Concubine has not yet served the Emperor, so it's uncertain when this child will be conceived.
By the time the Imperial Concubine gives birth, who knows how many others will have already done so.
The Emperor has not yet appointed an Empress, but once a prince is born, the ministers of the court will all urge the Emperor to appoint an Empress.
At that time, the Imperial Concubine will no longer be the most powerful.
Jiang He naturally heard what the palace servants said.
Then Jiang He invited Consort Yue to sit in Fengzao Palace, which allowed Consort Yue to overhear these words.
Consort Yue turned ashen-faced upon hearing these words.
In all this time, none of the things the Emperor mentioned have been accomplished.
I've been visiting her much less lately.
She thought the emperor was busy.
So they all went to see Consort Xian and the others.
So the Emperor really cares about those children.
I visit them every day and talk to them.
The Mingyue Palace is full of the Emperor's people.
The Emperor instructed them not to tell her, and they all kept it from her.
She thought the emperor was genuinely too busy to visit her.
It turns out, it wasn't that I didn't have time, I just gave my time to others.
The Emperor said that the people in Fengzao Palace were basically all people he had arranged.
The Imperial Concubine only had four head maids who were her own people.
Therefore, what the palace servants outside said was true.
Jiang He suddenly grabbed Yue Pin's hand.
"Sister Yuepin, they say that the Emperor likes children, and having children will divert the Emperor's favor. Is that true?"
"Will the Emperor stop favoring me after my sisters, Consort Xian and the others, give birth to their children?"
Consort Yue looked at Jiang He's incredulous expression and couldn't find any words of comfort.
The Emperor might actually like those children, right?
Otherwise, why haven't they taken any action yet?
Why didn't you give them a bowl of abortifacient medicine when you could have just given her one?
Didn't the Emperor often give them contraceptive soup, saying it was a medicine to help them conceive?
You could also just give them abortifacients, claiming they're pregnancy-stabilizing medication.
So what are you waiting for?
Do we really have to wait until the baby is born?
They actually gave birth to the child then.
The ministers are pressuring the emperor to appoint an empress. What should he do?
Is he going to explain to her again that the ministers have been pressuring him and that he has no choice in the matter?
The appointment of an empress was only temporary, a means to appease the ministers; she was the only woman he truly loved.
Once the Imperial Concubine had brought down the Empress, they were all banished to the Cold Palace.
In the end, he will definitely make her his queen.
In order to protect her, I can only pretend to be cold and indifferent to her.
They could only place her in the most remote palace.
Mingyue Palace is so small, it doesn't even seem as big as the garden of Fengzao Palace.
It's a remote area, very hot and humid in the summer and very cold in the winter, so it's not comfortable to live there at all.
But the Emperor only told her to endure it, and to endure it some more.
How long is she supposed to endure this?
Don't you want to put up with it anymore?
After returning to Mingyue Palace, Consort Yue asked Peony for abortifacients and medicines that would affect her ability to have children.
She wanted to ask for the poison directly, but she absolutely refused to give it to Peony.
That's poison. If Consort Yue were to accidentally ingest it herself or have the Emperor ingest it, she would be doomed.
Therefore, it's impossible to give them poison.
Consort Yue wanted abortifacients and medicines that would affect her fertility, but peony couldn't be given to her directly; she had to report to the Emperor first.
When the Emperor learned that Consort Yue wanted these two medicines, he knew that Consort Yue was in a hurry.
I want to try it myself.
As for the medicine that affects fertility, it's probably because Consort Yue was upset and didn't want to see them get pregnant again, so she wanted to make sure they could never have children again.
The Emperor originally did not want Consort Yue to get involved in these matters, and he wanted to leave everything to him.
He will clear all obstacles for Consort Yue.
However, Consort Yue has been getting angry lately because of the child.
Consort Yue only saw that their children were still alive.
But we can't see how much effort he put in or how many arrangements he made.
It's just that Consort Xian and the others were too cautious, and he never succeeded.
He even lost many people because of this incident.
Consort Yue only saw that the result was unsatisfactory, but she didn't see how much effort he had put in.
Every time he went there, he was met with a cold face. The emperor had to coax him every day, and he was getting tired of it.
He hasn't visited Consort Yue these past few days, wanting to give himself some time to adjust.
Because he was afraid that Consort Yue would overthink things, he didn't tell Consort Xian and the others directly when he went to see them.
Now that Consort Yue wants to try it herself, let her try.
After trying it, you'll realize it wasn't that he didn't try hard enough, it was just that the difficulty was too great.
Then Consort Yue will understand his difficulties.
The Emperor even began to imagine Consort Yue crying and apologizing to him, saying that he had put too much pressure on him and that she would behave herself in the future.
The Emperor instructed Peony to deliver the medicine to Consort Yue.
Consort Yue can do whatever she wants.
If the matter is exposed, he can simply push out any palace servant to take the blame.
Consort Yue received two kinds of medicine.
Consort Yue hesitated between using abortifacients or medicines that would affect her fertility.
Let's take another look, let's look at what's behind us.
The Emperor said he had made contingency plans and hoped the Emperor would not disappoint her.
The medicine was hidden by Consort Yue.
Peony didn't know if Consort Yue had used any medicine, but seeing that Consort Xian and the others were still fine, she knew that it hadn't worked.
Jiang He also took action over there.
The Emperor's actions are becoming increasingly drastic.
Consort Xian has had some bleeding and is currently taking medicine to prevent miscarriage.
Perhaps it was the work of other concubines besides the emperor.
Jiang He invited the people to Fengzao Palace, this time with a different kind of incense, a pregnancy-stabilizing incense.
Just by smelling this fragrance, the baby in your belly will stay peacefully in its little nest and won't wander out.
This time, it was the Imperial Concubine who insisted that the four consorts come, and even Consort Jing was invited.
