At night, when the guards were changing shifts, two dark figures entered the Langyue Pavilion.

Song'er and Bing'er, who were guarding the door, were knocked unconscious, and Fangyin in the room was no exception.

The maid took care of it, and a man in a black robe came over.

"Who?"

The room was pitch black. Shen Qingyue had just fallen asleep and vaguely saw a dark shadow walking towards her. She called out "Fang Yin", "Song'er", and "Bing'er", but there was no response.

He was so scared that he immediately sat up and shouted to encourage himself: "Lecher! I am the regent's man, get out!"

The shadow was still approaching, Shen Qingyue's heart was pounding, and she leaned back hugging the pillow.

She suddenly remembered the agreement she had made with Zhao Qizhen. "Yes, Brother Qizhen?"

"I, I have taken the medicine. I took it right after I left the Qixi dinner. Everything went according to plan. There are guards outside. You should go back first."

"Has he really favored you these three days?"

The voice was wrong, Shen Qingyue shouted: "You are not Zhao Qizhen! Who are you? What are you doing here in the middle of the night? What did you do to my maid?"

The man in black robe did not intend to hide it from Shen Qingyue, and reached out to lift his hat.

The moonlight illuminates half of the face.

This Xifeng was none other than Cai Chong himself.

Shen Qingyue had met him at the Qixi banquet. He was the solemn and majestic Prime Minister.

"Zhao Qizhen lied to you. The medicine is not for fertility assistance, but for abortion."

"What?" Shen Qingyue's eyes suddenly widened, a little unbelieving, "Why would he lie to me?"

"He wants you to bear his child."

Shen Qingyue's mind was a little confused, and it took her a long while to come back to her senses. She looked at Cai Chong in the dark and said vigilantly:

"Then why did you come here, sir?"

"The prince has gone into the mountains to hunt and will not be back until a month later." Cai Chong got straight to the point, "Do you think that with the princess's looks and abilities, can she rekindle her old relationship with the prince in this month?"

He came with a purpose, so everything he said and did naturally served his purpose.

"Impossible! The prince has been lingering with me in Cuiwei Residence for the past three days. He has never left the house and does not want to see her at all. How could he take her away?!"

"I don't want to believe it, but this is the truth, so I came here to help you."

Shen Qingyue was not very worldly-wise and was less wary of this prime minister who was older than her father.

She crawled to the edge of the bed and asked innocently, "Master, you have a solution, right? Tell me, and I will do it obediently."

"very good."

Cai Chong walked to the bed and sat down, holding her hand, "As long as you get pregnant with the prince's child..."

"But the prince is not in the palace."

"As long as you get pregnant now, no matter whose child it is, it will be the prince's."

Shen Qingyue was not that stupid. She pulled back her hand and said, "I am timid. My Lord, please don't joke with me."

Cai Chong didn't have time to deal with her slowly. He was silent for a moment, and then, taking advantage of her unpreparedness, he pulled her over and pressed her down.

Without waiting for Shen Qingyue to shout, he covered her mouth and said fiercely:

"The prince is not here, so I am the master of the palace. If you shout and attract people here, I will tell the prince that you and the guards were having an affair here and I caught you. Let's see whether the prince will believe you or me."

Shen Qingyue didn't know whether she was frightened or the weight of that body made her so nervous that she couldn't breathe.

With tears in her eyes, she shook her head.

Seeing that she was obedient, Cai Chong coaxed her kindly: "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, I'm not here to force you. I'm here to give you the opportunity to become the most powerful woman in the harem, to trample Shen Yangui under your feet, and to avenge your mother."

"Revenge..." Shen Qingyue seemed to have found a legitimate reason, "I stepped on Shen Yangui?"

"Yes, Yue'er, don't worry. No third person will know about what happened between you and me. You will still be the prince's person in the future."

"Can I still be the prince's person?"

"That's right, you also know that Shen Yangui is a cruel and ruthless person with many tricks. If she regains her favor, it will be difficult for you to get pregnant, let alone see the prince again.

Think about the time you were in Fu'an Palace, for such a long time, did the prince have the opportunity to stay with you?"

Cai Chong is patient and persuasive, his voice is gentle yet powerful.

Shen Qingyue began to waver.

Cai Chong whispered in her ear, explaining the reasoning, "Who doesn't have to make sacrifices to accomplish great things? Who can resist some grievances for the sake of great undertakings? The Prince Regent also once gave himself to the Queen Mother."

Shen Qingyue only felt heat surrounding her neck.

This was the first time she had such close contact with a man while awake, and she couldn't help but be scared.

"But I don't want to let the prince down."

"Everything you did was truly for the sake of keeping the prince. How can you say that you are sorry to the prince? Not to mention that he won't know. Even if he knew, if he can't even understand you for such a small matter, how can he still love you?"

Cai Chong spoke with a tone that was completely considerate of Shen Qingyue, "If he doesn't love you, why would you care about his feelings?"

"The prince loves me!"

"Yes, he loves you, so he will definitely understand you."

Cai Chong had already taken off her clothes. "Aren't you injured? Let me apply medicine on you."

"No!" Shen Qingyue flatly refused.

"Silly child, what are you afraid of?" Cai Chong touched the small medicine jar beside the bed, "My little daughter is about the same age as you. I pity you so much that I can't bear to hurt you."

"I just felt sorry for you being alone in Beijing, and I wanted to help you."

"Yue'er, from now on, the power in my hands will be the power behind you. You are no longer alone. I will help you get everything you want."

He applied the ointment on his body, painstakingly, over and over again.

Shen Qingyue turned her head to the side and watched the moonlight, which was supposed to be still, move.

She didn't know whether her choice was right, but she blamed it on Shen Yangui.

The moonlight is as bright as a silver thread, and the mountain breeze never ceases.

Mo Chengying and Shen Yangui were both wearing tight clothes, with their narrow sleeves bound by leather, and their hair tied up with black gold crowns. They sat in the mountain pavilion and listened to the secret guards report everything.

Shen Yangui filled his own bowl with wine, but Mo Chengying snatched the bowl away.

"That was her own choice. What does it have to do with you? Don't blame yourself."

"I don't blame myself. Not to mention that this was her choice, even if I sent her to Cai Chong's bed with my own hands, so what? Apart from my mother, my daughter, Yuanyuan and you, I don't care about anyone else."

The hands of a superior cannot be white.

But even so, Shen Yangui had told the secret guards tonight that as long as Shen Qingyue refused Cai Chong, as long as she refused! Shen Yangui would never let anything happen to her because she had saved Yuanyuan.

But she didn't.

After just a few words, Cai Chong led him by the nose.

"I just think it's pathetic that she wants to trade her body for power."

The water in the pool under the moonlight was blown by the wind, and the driftwood hit the rocks on the shore one after another, splashing water.

Shen Yangui stood up and looked into the distance.

Mo Chengying hugged her from behind, "But from the overall perspective, Shen Qingyue did not make a wrong choice. Cai Chong is indeed the most capable person to help her son ascend to the throne."

"Yes."

"In the next month, Cai Chong should try his best."

"No matter how hard he tries, Shen Qingyue won't be able to get pregnant."

Shen Qingyue's child was destined to die from birth, so there was no need for him to come into this world.

Shen Yangui turned around and put his hands on Mo Chengying's shoulders, "I gave him some good things."
