Chapter 142: Cold Concubine's Daughter * Domineering Emperor 37

The imperial concubine hesitated for a moment. She stood up and paced back and forth in the inner room with a frown on her face.

The entire inner room was so quiet that the only sounds could be heard were the imperial concubine's footsteps and the rustling of leaves in the wind outside the palace.

It was a clear autumn day, with sunlight shining in obliquely through the window lattice. The imperial concubine was unsure and wandered between the light and shadow, with her cheeks bright and dark.

After a while, she finally made up her mind, clapped her hands and said:

"Okay, let's use this method! You go and make the arrangements. I want to know the results within three days."

After hearing what the imperial concubine said, Chi Liangdi was slightly stunned.

However, she had other plans in mind, so she simply said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will verify the authenticity within three days."

----

After Chi Liangdi left, the imperial concubine sat alone in front of the bronze mirror to remove her makeup.

The personal maid who served her was the one she brought from home. She had grown up with her since she was a child and was the one she trusted the most.

After Chi Liangdi left, the imperial concubine told the senior palace maid what the two of them had just said.

The senior palace maid was thinking about this matter while taking off the imperial concubine's jewelry and removing her hair bun.

"Your Highness, this Chi Liang Di always comes to please you. I think her motives are not pure."

"Concubine Su entered the palace with her, and now Concubine Su is the most favored and pregnant with the dragon fetus. It is inevitable that Concubine Chi Liang will feel resentful."

"What she said to Your Majesty today was really absurd. I think she wanted to use Your Majesty to get rid of Concubine Su."

There was a small incense burner in front of the imperial concubine. There was hot water in the burner and charcoal fire underneath. The water was boiling hot, and clouds of steam were rising continuously from the hollow patterns on the lid of the incense burner and falling on her delicate cheeks.

She lowered her eyes, enjoying it very much.

The skin on her cheeks is white and rosy, with a thin layer of water droplets.

The imperial concubine took a silk handkerchief and gently covered her face, wiping away the water droplets on her face before she spoke slowly.

"You are just a little concubine, yet you have such a wild idea that you want to use me as a knife. Humph."

She snorted coldly and added: "I knew from the last incident at the Imperial Lake that this Concubine Su is not someone to be trifled with."

"In a few days, we'll see what Chi Liangdi is going to do, and we'll just act accordingly."

The senior palace maid heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what the imperial concubine said.

Rong Zhou takes great care of Su Wanti.

Ever since Su Wanti became pregnant, he often came to Yufu Palace to see her.

He didn't do anything, just accompanied her to talk, eat and take walks.

Fearing that she would be bored, he found a lot of leisure books from outside the palace and sent them to Yufu Palace for Su Wanti to read so that she could pass the time in her free time.

Rong Zhou heard from the imperial physician that women should be in a good mood during pregnancy so that the fetus in the womb will be healthier.

He often sent actors and performers from the palace to perform in the Yufu Palace to keep Su Wanti in a good mood.

The emperor often went to Yufu Palace to accompany Su Wanti, which made all the concubines jealous.

At first, when the concubines heard the news that the emperor was going to Yufu Palace, they hurriedly dressed up and took a gift to Yufu Palace. On the surface, they were going to visit Su Wanti, but in fact they were going to see the emperor.

After a while, Rong Zhou saw the clues. He was unhappy, but it was not easy to scold the concubine in person, so he had to tell the queen about it.

The queen understood the emperor's thoughts. He had always doted on Su Wanti, and now that Su Wanti was pregnant, she had become his most beloved daughter.

Now, he just wanted to be with Su Wanti quietly and didn't want to be disturbed by others.

The queen then issued an oral order, saying that Concubine Su needed to rest and other concubines should not disturb her.

With the Queen's presence, Yufu Palace finally became quiet.

On this day, Concubine Wen was waiting under the pine tree outside the Yufu Palace. After the emperor left, she walked to the door of the Yufu Palace and asked the eunuch guarding the door to go inside and report that she had something to say to Concubine Su and wanted to meet her.

After a while, a palace maid from the inner hall came to take her in.

It is now late autumn and Su Wanti is four months pregnant. However, she has a slim figure and her clothes are soft and loose, so her abdomen is still flat.

There were no yellowish-brown spots on her fair little face, and she looked as cool and indifferent as she did before pregnancy, as bright as the moon in cold autumn, and as pure as a snow lotus on an iceberg.

On weekdays, for fear of disturbing Su Wanti's rest and running into Rong Zhou and making him unhappy, Wen Guiren never came. She only sent someone to deliver gifts every few days, or waited until Su Wanti called her to come.

Today, Miss Wen came uninvited, and Su Wanti knew that she must have something important to tell her.

Su Wanti raised her hand to dismiss everyone, called Wen Guiren to her side, and asked her:

"Is there something important that has brought you here today?"

Mr. Wen nodded and said:

"Sister Su, I know you need to focus on your pregnancy and not be distracted, but there are some things I cannot help but tell you."

Concubine Wen was a meticulous person. She relied on Su Wanti as her support in the palace, so she paid close attention to what was happening inside and outside the palace.

Su Wanti frowned, "You must have discovered something unusual, right?"

"That's right." Wen Guiren blinked and said softly:

"Sister Su's brother, Young Master Su, has been very high-profile in the capital recently. He relied on his sister's favor and the fact that she was pregnant, so he acted arrogantly. I heard that he even had a conflict with Young Master Fu from the Xiangfu."

Su Wanti knew about this. She asked Ye Zi to monitor the movements outside the palace. She would be the first to hear about anything that happened in the Su Mansion and what the Su family members did outside.

She had known for a long time that when the news of her favor reached the Su Mansion, the Su father and son became restless.

A month ago, after the news that she was pregnant with the dragon heir was announced, the Su family father and son became extremely excited.

Now, they walk around the capital with all their might, looking like royal relatives.

Su Wanti cursed in her heart, "A dog is relying on the power of others."

However, she was too busy to deal with them, so she let them be arrogant for a while.

"Yes, I know about this. I will send someone to deliver a letter to their family, asking them to be more restrained."

Su Wanti said calmly, "Anything else?"

"Sister Su, I noticed that the Imperial Concubine and Chi Liangdi have been in close contact recently, and the maidservant next to Chi Liangdi has been leaving the palace recently. I don't know what she is doing when she goes out."

"The Imperial Concubine is hostile to my sister. On the second day after my sister's service, she targeted my sister and caused her to fall into the water. I think Chi Liangdi is working for the Imperial Concubine. I'm worried that the Imperial Concubine will harm my sister."

Su Wanti thought about it and made a plan in her mind. She had the spiritual spring water and the spiritual fruits in the space to protect her body, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

She had no intention of harming anyone, but if someone wanted to harm her, she would not accept death obediently.

Let's see what tricks the Imperial Concubine and Chi Liangdi can come up with.

"Sister Wen, thank you for your concern. I know, I will be careful, don't worry." Su Wanti's eyes were gentle and she thanked Wen Cairen softly.

She knew what Lady Wen was thinking.

Concubine Wen is thoughtful but timid. She has a pretty face but average talent. Although she has served in the emperor's bedchamber after entering the palace, she is not favored.

She had always been close to me, and after the incident at Yuhu Lake, she became even closer to me.

Su Wanti knew that she wanted to find a reliable support in the palace to protect her so that she could live a peaceful life in the palace.

She simply gave Wen Guiren a reassurance.

"Sister Wen, you and I entered the palace together and have been together for a long time. Naturally, our affection for each other is extraordinary. I am currently suffering from my physical condition and am unable to spare any time. In the future, I will have to trouble you to keep an eye out for news from the palace for me."

After hearing these words, Wen Guiren realized that Su Wanti had accepted her as her own. She was delighted and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, sister. We are in this together. Helping you is helping myself."
