It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

How can you fight alone in the palace?

Naturally, the more helpers the better.

Noblewoman Wen took the initiative to surrender, and Su Wanti, knowing her character, gladly accepted it.

Now, within the palace, Qingye and Ye Zi are keeping an eye on the dynamics of each palace for her. Outside the palace, Ye Zi's cousin from her aunt's family and Dingxiang and Shancha who stayed in the Su Mansion are working for her.

However, cousin Ye Zi was an ordinary merchant, and the two little girls were slaves of the Su Mansion. They had low status and a limited circle of contacts, so they could not inquire about news in the officialdom.

Then Mr. Wen will come in handy.

On the third day, Chi Liangdi brought a small package to see the imperial concubine.

"Have you found out?" The imperial concubine asked calmly, leaning on the couch.

"My queen, we have found out, look!" Chi Liangdi had a mysterious expression on her face and opened the cloth bag she was carrying.

When I opened a corner of the cloth bag, a stuffy smell of urine hit me in the face.

The imperial concubine frowned, covered her mouth and nose, looked away, and said with disdain:

"You really got it here. You are quite capable."

Chi Liangdi continued with her actions and whispered:

"I asked someone to buy wheat seeds and spent some money to bribe the maid in the outer palace of Yufu Palace. The maid brought the things here yesterday, and I soaked the wheat seeds last night."

"Your Highness, look, none of these wheat seeds have sprouted."

The imperial concubine then turned her gaze to the cloth bag.

The cloth bag had been completely opened, and dozens of light brown wheat seeds were placed in the middle of the plain cotton cloth.

These seeds have been soaked in water and have swelled up, but the white germ has not appeared at the top of the wheat.

The imperial concubine's eyes lit up, she covered her nose, and said in a humming voice:

"The wheat didn't sprout? According to what you say in your hometown, this means you're not pregnant!"

Chi Liangdi nodded.

"Your Highness, Concubine Su is so bold that she even pretended to be pregnant to win favor and deceived His Majesty!"

The imperial concubine sneered, "How could she be so brave? How dare she do such a thing to deceive His Majesty? I think it must be the Queen's idea."

"Should we do something? If we wait until she gives birth to a little prince, wouldn't that mean she will be honored by her son?"

Chi Liangdi didn't want Su Wanti to be favored, and she didn't want Su Wanti to give birth to a royal heir smoothly and step on her head.

The imperial concubine lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment.

Chi Liangdi was calculating in her mind. She wanted to use the Imperial Concubine to get rid of Su Wanti. Seeing that the Imperial Concubine didn't say anything, she turned her eyes and whispered:

"My Lady, the Emperor already favors Concubine Su. If her plan succeeds, she will have an heir to the throne. Sooner or later, her position will be higher than yours!"

The imperial concubine clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, and asked, "What good ideas do you have?"

Seeing that the imperial concubine was unwilling to give in, Chi Liangdi said, "Why don't we find a way to expose Concubine Su's conspiracy."

The imperial concubine's eyes moved, and the corners of her lips curled slightly.

"We must find a way to make the truth known to the world. We cannot let the royal bloodline be confused."

"My Lady, I have a plan."

The imperial concubine looked at Chi Liangdi and smiled faintly, "You are quite clever, and you come up with ideas one after another. What ideas do you have this time?"

Chi Liangdi smiled obediently, "I dare not be careless when working for the queen."

She came closer and began to explain in detail.

Half an hour later, Chi Liangdi left.

Chi Liangdi returned to her residence and called her personal maid, "Come here and deal with this thing. Deal with it cleanly and don't leave any traces."

She took out a small cloth bag from her sleeve and handed it to her personal maid.

The maid saw the small cloth bag and looked terrified. She said carefully:

"My lady, if the Imperial Concubine finds out in the future that this item is not from Concubine Su, and that we just took some from the spring to trick her, will she retaliate against you, my lady?"

Chi Liangdi looked down at her nails and snorted coldly:

"What will happen if she finds out? Let's do it cleanly and put the blame on her. She won't be able to explain herself. Besides, she once harmed Concubine Su and caused her to fall into the water. The whole palace knows about it. When we went to the Queen's Palace to pay our respects, she was quite dissatisfied with Concubine Su and her words were very offensive."

"She has a problem with Concubine Su, and she always targets Concubine Su. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. If Concubine Su had a miscarriage, she would be the most likely suspect."

When Chi Liangdi first entered the palace, she had the highest rank among the newcomers and was the first to serve the emperor in bed, but now, Su Wanti is the most favored.

She was unwilling to give in and tried some tricks to win favor, but failed. As time went on, her resentment overwhelmed her rationality.

She began to think of some crooked ways to deal with Su Wanti.

This time, Su Wanti was pregnant. Chi Liangdi was so jealous that her eyes turned red. She couldn't bear it anymore.

On the day Su Wanti was diagnosed with pregnancy, she saw the suspicion in the imperial concubine's eyes and came up with a way to get rid of Su Wanti.

She first deepened the imperial concubine's suspicion that Su Wanti was pregnant, and then told her a folk method in her hometown to test whether a woman was pregnant.

If the imperial concubine believed it, she would show her the ungerminated wheat seeds, making her think that Su Wanti was not pregnant.

The imperial concubine has always been at odds with Su Wanti, and she is impatient, so she will definitely find a way to expose Su Wanti's "fake pregnancy".

But the imperial concubine definitely doesn't want to do it herself, so she will let her do it.

Chi Liangdi's eyes darkened and she smiled coldly.

Then don't blame her for being ruthless. By then, she will find a way to abort Su Wanti's pregnancy and let the imperial concubine take the blame.

And she herself is clean, with no blood on her hands, isn't that beautiful?

"By the way, have you bought all the herbs I asked you to buy?" Chi Liangdi asked her personal maid.

The maid nodded and said, "I have bought everything. I followed the young lady's instructions and did not buy everything from one pharmacy. I bought everything from several pharmacies."

"That's good. No one will follow you when you go out, right?"

The maid shook her head and said, "I am very careful. Every time I leave the palace, I always look behind me to make sure no one is following me."

Chi Liangdi nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered:

"Bring all the herbs in to me, and then you stand guard at the door. Don't let anyone in. Got it?"

The maid nodded and said, "I understand. I will do it right away."

----

The tenth day of October is Su Wanti’s birthday.

This year, because she was pregnant with a dragon heir, Rong Zhou wanted to make a big fuss and hold a grand birthday party for her.

When a concubine of high status in the palace celebrates her birthday, ladies of honor will come to the palace to celebrate.

The mother of a concubine could also enter the palace to meet her daughter.

Rong Zhou knew that Su Wanti had a bad relationship with the Su family, but he still asked, "Wan'er, on your birthday, do you need to invite someone from the Su family to the palace?"

Su Wanti thought for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty, as you know, I don't have a close relationship with my parents and siblings. However, when I was in the Su Mansion, although my mother didn't treat me well, she never gave me food. When I was selected to enter the palace, she also took the initiative to propose to put my name under her name, making me the legitimate daughter of the Su Mansion. I thought, I should ask my mother to come to the palace to accompany me that day."

She was pregnant now, and this request was reasonable, so Rong Zhou naturally agreed to it. He immediately sent someone to the Su Mansion to convey an oral order, summoning Madam Su to the palace on the tenth day of October to celebrate Concubine Su's birthday.

After the emperor's oral order reached the Su family, Su's father and mother breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madam, you must beg the queen to find a way to save our son!" said Father Su.

"Master, don't worry. Wan'er is a grateful person. If I beg her well, she won't sit idly by."

Mrs. Su's eyes were firm and full of hope.
