Chapter 16 A Must-Have Pregnancy Plot for Palace Fighting

The candlelight was dim, but it still illuminated several scratches across his chest, which were bright red and dazzling.

The blood had dried up by now, but because it was stuck to her middle coat, Concubine Yue didn't pay attention when she opened the skirt, and blood started to flow from the wound again.

Yuan Yuniang subconsciously covered her mouth, tears rolling down uncontrollably.

She originally did this out of jealousy, but she didn't expect to see such a scene - no wonder the emperor stiffened when he threw himself into Emperor Chunjia's arms just now. At that time, she thought he was emotionally attracted to her. I resisted, but now I know it was just because I was pressing these wounds.

"That cheap maid!!!" Concubine Yue hated Yun Fenghuang so much. If there wasn't a glimmer of clarity at this moment, she would have rushed to Xi Xingxuan and cut the latter into pieces!

As someone who has been there, I have seen occasionally violent situations between sex, but Emperor Chunjia's current injury is definitely not something that can be explained by "a moment of forgetful love". It is 100% Yun Fenghuang's intention!

At least Yun Fenghuang didn't care about the emperor's body at all and just let himself enjoy himself... How dare she, this lowly servant? !

You must know that even the Queen has never treated Emperor Chunjia like this!

... Yun Fenghuang was sleeping soundly when Concubine Yue was hysterical. This night's bedtime was not a good experience for both her and Emperor Chunjia. The difference in physical strength between men and women made her fall asleep immediately afterward. , didn’t wake up until dawn with Nian Xuan’s low call.

At this time, Emperor Chunjia had already laid back beside her. The young emperor seemed to be still sleeping, but his brows were slightly furrowed. He didn't know whether it was because he was in a bad mood or... Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes and looked at him for a moment, then pretended to be confused and stood up. Climb over him again.

Then the emperor woke up.

I woke up subconsciously with a hissing pain.

"Your Majesty, I fell asleep. I didn't mean to do it!" Yun Fenghuang felt happy in his heart, but he prostrated himself on the footstep with worry on his face and apologized uneasily, "Your Majesty, how are you? Do you want to ask for a doctor?"

Emperor Chunjia took a deep breath and said expressionlessly: "No need, I'm fine, just go to Yanfu Palace to pay my respects."

He is not a fool, how could he not guess whether this Chenggui was unintentional or intentional?

It was just a few flesh wounds, and the imperial doctor was called, that's all. If word spreads, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause... Then it may bring pressure to Concubine Yue, and I can't bear it now. .

This little Yunshi is really good at twisting things!

The emperor secretly gritted his teeth and said to himself that he didn't know what kind of people Yun Fenghuang's biological parents were. After all, they were from a big family. How could they raise such a daughter?

Yun Fenghuang escaped smoothly, but no matter what the emperor thought, Shi Shiran dressed up and went to Tongxia Palace to find a shield, ah no, to ask Concubine Shu to pay her respects.

"Your Majesty, help me!" As soon as she entered the door, she took the lead and threw herself in front of Concubine Shu, "Your Majesty rested with me again yesterday, and I didn't dare to ask Your Majesty to go elsewhere. What should I do now?" Empress Zhaoyuan will definitely beat me to death!"

Concubine Shu said with an angry look on her face: "You know how scared you are now? Wasn't it awesome when you were holding on to death yesterday?"

"I know I'm wrong, please give me some advice!" Yun Fenghuang raised his sleeves to cover his face and kept moaning, "My dear, you can't leave me alone, wow…"

Concubine Shu had a headache from her crying. She pinched her eyebrows and said, "Get up and speak!"

Yun Fenghuang didn't, and walked forward on his knees, holding on to Concubine Shu's skirt and crying with snot and tears. In and out of her words, she was Concubine Shu's, and if she was bullied by Zhaoyuan again and again, she would be humiliated. Concubine Shu's face, Concubine Shu cannot ignore her.

...It was also Concubine Shu who didn't know much about what happened in the Ningbi Palace, so she let her pull the hem of her skirt and lowered her face: "What do you mean? Are you threatening me?"

"How can I have such courage?" Yun Fenghuang said while crying, "I am just an ant who still lives in vain. If I charm your majesty and take the initiative to fight for your favor, Empress Zhaoyuan will not be angry and teach me a lesson, but I will admit it!" I have done nothing. Empress Zhaoyuan wants to take care of me. How can I not feel aggrieved? I am a little concubine, helpless in this palace. Apart from praying for your mercy, what else can I hope for? ? Besides, even though I am not a blood relative of you, the Sixth Palace, the Sixth Palace regards me as a daughter of the Yun family. If I am wronged at the hands of Empress Zhaoyuan, how can Duke Yi Guo’s palace have any dignity?"

Concubine Shu snorted coldly: "I said before that even if you are not the Yun family's daughter, you are still my cousin, so naturally I will not ignore you! But if you think that you can embarrass me because of your identity as the Yun family's daughter, then that's dream!"

Yun Fenghuang opened his eyes wide, as if he had been greatly wronged, and said in surprise: "What's the matter?! How dare I embarrass you, my empress? I... I am begging you..."

The sincerity on her face, coupled with the tears on her face and the helplessness between her brows, made Concubine Shu ponder for a moment, then her tone softened: "Yesterday, I heard that His Majesty stayed at Xi Xingxuan. , I am just thinking about what to say to you, please go and clean up, what will you look like when you arrive at Yanfu Palace later!"

Of course, Concubine Shu knew that this cheap sister was not as innocent as the innocent sister who was deliberately raised by her own mother, but Yun Fenghuang was only fifteen years old after all, and she suddenly entered the palace and was in a very embarrassing and dangerous position. How could she feel in her heart? Can there be no fear?

It is natural for people to be confused in words and deeds under this kind of situation... If you are still calm and composed like this, it will make people think deeply.

So after a few words, he started to give Tian Zao and asked Yun Fenghuang to take Yun Fenghuang to the back hall to freshen up, so as not to lose etiquette in front of the Queen Mother later.

It's just that Yun Fenghuang cried too hard before, and even though he put on a lot of powder, his eyes were still red.

Concubine Shu looked at it for a while and then sighed, saying that she was still young and ignorant: "When the empress and others see you like this, they will definitely ask... I also want to say something else to distract Zhaoyuan later. I don’t know if I can do it now or not.”

Hearing this, Yun Fenghuang seemed to be about to shed tears again. Concubine Shu quickly asked her to calm down, "If you cry again, I won't take you to Yanfu Palace!"

At this time, Yun Qingman came in, but she didn't come in alone. Half a step behind was a palace concubine in a green shirt. She had thin eyebrows and narrow eyes. Her appearance was only average, but her figure was graceful. After entering the palace, she hurriedly gave her to Concubine Shu. salute.

Concubine Shu first said to Yun Qingman, "Why are you so late today?"

Then he glanced at the concubine in green clothes and said, "Chi Yuwan? What's the matter?"

Concubine Yun Shu's reputation in the palace is quite good, and she is recognized as one of the most kind people in the palace. However, this kind of kindness is purely based on her peers. Anyway, she is not so kind that the people in the palace lose sight of her. Level of reverence: No one dares to set foot in the inner sanctum without being summoned unless something happens.

Of course, Yun Qingman is her biological sister after all, and Yun Fenghuang is also a cheap sister, so she is not included in this list.

At this moment, Chi Yuwan followed Yun Qingman in rashly, and Concubine Shu was naturally surprised.

"Sister, this Sister Chi said that Kou Fengyi from the Xingfeng Pavilion had a fever last night and was talking nonsense." Before Chi Yuwan could speak, Yun Qingman took the lead and said, "The palace servants from the Xingfeng Pavilion are because of I didn't dare to come and report because I was waiting close by, and I was afraid I might be sick, so I dragged Sister Chi next door through the door this morning to give you a message. I happened to run into her, so I took her in along the way."

Concubine Shu's eyes flashed, and she said, "I see...why is Ms. Kou so sick? Wasn't she fine yesterday?"

"I don't know either." Mrs. Chi lowered her head and said, "When the people from the Xingfeng Pavilion came to the door to explain, I hadn't gotten up yet. The maid guarding the door was young and couldn't explain clearly. I was afraid that I would be late and be delayed. I went to Yanfu Palace and had no time to go to the Xinfeng Pavilion to inquire. Please forgive me."

The concubine of Emperor Chunjia's harem was only from the seventh rank, and the lower-ranking concubines in Emperor Chunjia's harem were not of good background. They were insignificant when the emperor's favor was not enough to rely on. Therefore, Concubine Shu didn't care very much, and she didn't let go even after asking. In his heart, he said to his left and right: "Send someone to ask a female doctor to come and take a look."

The hierarchy in the imperial palace is very strict. Concubines below the fifth rank are not allowed to be treated by grace. If they are sick, they are not qualified to work as imperial doctors. They are all diagnosed by female doctors.

The female doctor was actually a maid who ran errands in the imperial hospital, and she had learned a few skills from the imperial doctors... Even if there were some talented and intelligent among them, their medical skills would definitely not be comparable to those of doctors who had learned the classics.

But low-ranking concubines were inherently worthless, and the rules were such that Chi didn't dare to say anything. She had to bow her knees respectfully and offer her clothes on behalf of the bandits to thank Concubine Shu.

Yun Fenghuang watched from the side and felt that his position as Chenggui was too unreliable and he had to find opportunities to climb up as soon as possible.

As soon as she was interrupted by Chi's report, and because she deliberately stood in a place where the lights were not so bright, Yun Qingman didn't find any trace of her crying, and she said something casually. He stopped talking, and looked at his expression as if he wanted to ask Emperor Chunjia why he rested at Xi Xingxuan last night, but because Concubine Shu and others were present, he didn't say anything.

Finally, the group from Tongxia Palace took the time to arrive at the middle palace and entered. Many people's eyes were focused on Yun Fenghuang, with all kinds of profound meanings.

However, Empress Ji didn't say anything. She even noticed Yun Fenghuang's slightly red and swollen eyes and didn't mean to ask. She just talked to Concubine Shu: "I sent some materials yesterday, and they are all very bright in color." , I think it’s suitable for the newcomers, so you can give them a share on my behalf later.”

Everyone was startled when he said this, and Concubine Shu was also surprised. It was only a trivial matter to distribute things to a group of new concubines, but this was the queen's power. Empress Ji had been firmly holding the Phoenix Seal since she had been in the palace. I have never given any chance to the noble concubine or the concubine Shu. This time she actually took the initiative to delegate power, even if it was just a small matter, but the meaning revealed really makes people think too much!

Concubine Shu thought in her mind and said: "I have never done this before. I am afraid that if I don't do it well, I won't let the people around me..."

"Why do you have to belittle yourself?" The queen interrupted her and said, "We all come from a big family, how can we be troubled by this little thing? I have been a little tired recently and want to be lazy, why are you even Are you unwilling to help with this little bit of work?”

"This..." Concubine Shu was very suspicious, because she really couldn't figure out why Queen Ji would give herself such a chance?

Could it be a trap?

She then tentatively asked, "Then when the imperial concubine sister comes, I will discuss a charter with her, and then ask the empress sister to take care of you?"

The corner of Empress Ji's lips curled up slightly, she leaned back towards the throne, and said lazily: "You are such a cautious person... but the noble concubine may not be free to accompany you."

Why does this sound like something special?

Concubine Shu was secretly vigilant, and just as she was about to speak, she heard the queen say casually: "Just now, the concubine sent someone to ask for leave, saying that she was already more than a month pregnant, and I have exempted her from paying greetings for the next two months. You I want to discuss it with the imperial concubine, and I’ll go to Yanlan Palace later.”

There was silence in Chongchang Hall for a moment!
