After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

Jiang Xue Ning stayed in Meilon Temple for several days and welcomed a special guest, Gui Ye, the lord of Baidu City, who came to visit.

Jiang Xue Ning put down the Buddhist scripture she was copying and said, "Please ask him to come in."

Returning to the wildness walking on the snow, there is a sense of indifference and tranquility.

He bowed slightly to greet Jiang Xue Ning, "I'm sorry for coming here so suddenly."

"No need to be polite, Lord Mayor, please sit as you like."

Guiye silently observed her words and actions. She was casual and indifferent, yet also had a bit of the dignity that was unique to noble ladies in Beijing. He felt relieved. She didn't look like the person he remembered.

"I used to be close friends with Princess Chen. Since the princess is the princess's cousin, I should pay her a visit."

Jiang Xue Ning smiled faintly, "Just a close friendship?"

If he hadn't slid down quickly and actively expressed his loyalty, the mayor of Baidu City would have been replaced long ago. Later, in order to balance the local forces, she continued to retain his position as mayor.

Guiye was stunned for a moment, and said as a matter of course, "If the princess was alive, I would go through fire and water for her. But she is gone, isn't she? They say that death is like the extinguishing of a light."

She said sarcastically, "Well, the city lord is indeed a wise man, and what he said is quite refreshing and unconventional."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Guiye remained calm. He came here today to test the waters and to get closer to them.

He carefully cultivated a fake and made up a story about God's will to send the person into the palace. Of course, he had ambitions.

After all, they were too far away and the news was not that well-informed. The situation in Beijing was completely different from what he had imagined, and his move was far from what he had expected.

He looked at her, with such a face, and about to enter the palace as the empress. It was only a matter of time before she became the most favored concubine in the harem, so Yanzhi looked very embarrassed.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is afraid that she will take revenge. Yanzhi can't stand the tossing now, so she has today's trip.

Gui Ye waved his hand, and the servants he brought up a box. When they opened it, they found jewels, gold, and some precious jade.

He said sincerely, "This is my gift to the princess. I congratulate her on her upcoming entry into the palace as empress."

Jiang Xue Ning glanced at it, squinted her eyes and said, "This is too expensive. I'm afraid the city lord has something to ask for."

"The princess is indeed smart." Guiye requested, "Yanzhi is alone in the harem, and I am very worried. Please take good care of her after you enter the palace."

"It's just a fake. Why should I pay special attention to it?"

As expected, she is a difficult person. Guiye said with an unchanged smile, "The princess was kind to me back then, and now I should follow the princess' lead. It is better to have one more friend in the palace than one more enemy. As long as the princess is willing, Yanzhi will of course be on her side."

He came to establish an alliance with her, but seeing his unyielding character, she didn't believe a word he said.

Jiang Xue Ning said calmly, "I understand your intention, but not every Tom, Dick, or Harry can establish a relationship with me through my cousin."

These words were harsh to the ears, and Guiye's face was somewhat embarrassed. He said angrily, "Oh, I was too sentimental and tried to get ahead of myself. Then I wish the princess could keep the throne."

"She's just a fake. I didn't kill her. I've already shown mercy." Jiang Xue Ning said proudly, "If she's unfaithful once, she'll never be used again. City Lord, take care of yourself."

Guiye was so angry that he laughed, "Okay, Princess, you have great courage."

She is just a princess. Even if she becomes the queen, the ministers in the harem may not be the final winner. How dare she be so arrogant?

Jiang Xue Ning said coldly, "Take your things with you. I can't afford them."

In the end, he returned to the wild and left in anger.

She just felt annoyed that he had betrayed their original agreement. He had secretly come to Beijing to seek benefits and dared to play tricks in front of her. She was too lazy to pretend to be nice to him.

She drank half a cup of tea to calm herself down, and always felt that something was not right about Guiye's visit this time.

He seems calm and indifferent, but in fact he is suspicious and greedy by nature.

His sudden visit was probably because something happened in the harem.

"Qinghe, send a message to the palace and ask how Yanzhi is doing recently."

After Zhongqiu in the palace received the news, he asked people to pay attention to the recently favored Concubine Yue.

Soon she discovered something was wrong, and she asked Jin Ling to bring the imperial physician to check Concubine Yue's pulse.

It can be said that all the concubines in the harem were paying attention to the results of this pulse examination.

Zhongqiu was also in the palace, waiting quietly.

Soon Jin Ling came back and said with a complicated look, "The imperial physician said that Concubine Yue is already one and a half months pregnant."

Zhongqiu was silent for a moment and chuckled, "It seems that she got pregnant as soon as she entered the palace and was favored. This is good news. Go tell His Majesty."

Since the eunuch took the order and left, after Helian Xuan received the news, various rewards soon flowed into Concubine Yue's palace.

The concubines in the harem tore countless handkerchiefs.

Jin Ling couldn't help but whispered, "This Yanzhi girl is so lucky. She was made a concubine right after entering the palace and now she's pregnant. As long as she gives birth to the child safely, she will surely be honored as a mother because of the child."

She grew up in the palace, so she naturally accepted the palace's thinking. Zhongqiu did not correct her, but said thoughtfully, "I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to be pregnant with a dragon seed at this time."

He then gave an order to the palace maid in charge beside him, "Restrain the palace maids during this period of time and stay away from the affairs of Concubine Yue."

The head aunt said meaningfully, "It's not uncommon to get pregnant in the palace, but it's a real skill to give birth safely."

So far, Helian Xuan has only two princesses alive, which can be considered a small number of offspring. There is no concubine in the palace who does not want to give birth to the emperor's eldest son first.

So no matter who is pregnant, they will attract much attention. At the same time, they will also attract hatred and become a thorn in the eyes.

Zhongqiu had no interest in doing anything to an unborn child, so she would not get involved in this mess.

"Just take care of the people in our palace. The rest is none of our business."

Some in the palace were happy while others were sad. In Yuehua Palace, Yanzhi touched her belly with a hint of worry on her brows. "I wanted to hide it from Sanyue, but I didn't expect Mingfei to ask the imperial physician to check my pulse."

The trusted maid she brought into the palace comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. The city lord will take care of everything. He will not ignore you."

Yanzhi smiled bitterly, "Silly girl, he is just the lord of a city, nothing in Shengjing. How can he reach into the harem?"

In the past in Baidu City, Guiye was the heaven and the earth in their eyes, the supreme existence.

After arriving in Beijing and broadening my horizons and gaining more experience, I realized that he was nothing special.

Even though she was favored, her life in the palace was not easy. The concubines who came from high-ranking aristocratic families looked down on her.

She touched her face and said worriedly, "This child came too quickly. I haven't gotten my feet on the ground yet. I'm really afraid that I can't protect him."

On that day, the news that Concubine Yue in the harem was pregnant spread.

However, at a time when the imperial power was in turmoil, the so-called dragon son was just a thing and not worth taking seriously.
