In the end, because the emperor had just had a princess, he did not kill all the midwives. Instead, he demoted all of these old ladies to slavery and exiled them to the frontier to become slaves to the armored men.

Ling Xiangxiang was promoted to Noble Lady An. In order to make her live comfortably, the emperor also ordered that she be moved to a new palace after her full moon.

at the same time

When Concubine Shen heard that Ling Xiangxiang gave birth to a little princess, she couldn't help but jump for joy.

They got pregnant one after the other. Now she gave birth to a princess, and her future prince was even more noble! But Prince Anling never came back, and I don't know when I can make my move...

But even though he is far away on the battlefield, he should know that he will give birth soon, and he will definitely try his best to come back!

Zhenzhu brought chestnut cake, but saw her queen was in a daze.

"Madam, what are you thinking about? Come and try a piece. It will be a while before dinner! Eat something to fill your stomach first."

Concubine Shen collected her thoughts, picked up a piece of chestnut cake and put it into her mouth. Yes, she should not think too much now. The most important thing is to take good care of the fetus and give birth to the child safely.

"Okay, let's have more fish and shrimp for dinner."

Pearl smiled and said, "I understand. I have arranged it with the kitchen early in the morning~"

Concubine Shen nodded. "Yes, the most important thing for me now is to take good care of the fetus in my belly. Many changes have happened in the harem. Concubine Qing has brought disaster upon herself and was demoted to a commoner and confined to Yanxi Palace for life. This has helped the one in Jingyang Palace to become the only one in power!"

Zhenzhu poured her a glass of water and continued, "Don't worry, your majesty. Concubine Yu's pride will only last for a short time. In the end, she will just be the second Concubine Qing."

"Once the queen's baby is born and she is promoted to imperial concubine, there will be no need for her to be concubine Yu anymore. She should just be proud for a while!"

After hearing this, Concubine Shen raised her lips and said, "That's true. Let her succeed for a while. By then, she will stand high and fall far!"

Jingyang Palace

Song Qingwan was talking to Concubine Yu when someone came to report that the person in the Yanx Palace had gone crazy.

After hearing this, Yu Guiren didn't take it seriously. "Do you think it's true, Madam?"

Song Qingwan stood up and said, "I'll go and see."

Yu Guiren kindly reminded, "Empress Yu, be careful, there is a scam. How could someone as calculating as Concubine Qing... no, Yu Shi, go crazy just like that?"

Song Qingwan naturally knew what was going on. A smart person like Yu wanted to pretend to be crazy and stupid in order to escape the disaster and save her life.

"Whether it is true or not, we can tell at a glance. I will go and take a look."

Concubine Yu then stood up and said, "Then I will also take my leave first."

After Concubine Yu left, Song Qingwan brought Haitang to the Yanx Palace where Yu was imprisoned.

The Yanx Palace is no longer as nice as it used to be. It is overgrown with weeds. When I walked in through the gate, I didn’t see any palace servants along the way.

"Your Majesty, the Yanx Palace is now in such a dilapidated state." Haitang sighed.

Song Qingwan said, "No one is here to take care of it. That's it. Let's go in."

Haitang pushed open the door and saw Yu sitting on a chair.

Yu looked up and found Song Qingwan coming. She smiled and said, "Empress Yu, you are here. I want to talk to you alone~"

Haitang said to Song Qingwan in surprise, "Madam, she is not crazy at all!"

Song Qingwan nodded in understanding and said to Haitang, "Haitang, you go out first."

Haitang opened her eyes wide, feeling unwilling, fearing that Yu would do something bad to her own queen, but at Song Qingwan's insistence, she still left and closed the door.

"Song Qingwan, you knew I was pretending, so why did you come here?" Yu said straight to the point.

Song Qingwan sat down and said calmly, "Of course I want to see what you are keeping secret."

Yu said calmly, "Announce to the world that you saw me go crazy with your own eyes, so that the emperor can spare my life."

Song Qingwan raised her eyebrows and asked, "You have schemed so hard to hurt the prince and princess, and even killed the baby in my belly. Why do you think I will help you?"

Yu laughed up to the sky. "Hahahaha, Song Qingwan, stop pretending. I reviewed it carefully afterwards, and the more I thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. In fact, you weren't pregnant last time, right?"

"I was careless and fell into your trap. Then you tricked me again and again!"

Song Qingwan simply stopped pretending and spoke frankly.

"So what? As long as the emperor thinks that you killed the baby in my belly, then it is you who killed the baby in my belly."

"Putting all this aside, it is an indisputable fact that you hurt Chen Yi and Chen Xi. Chen Yi is still so young and will soon die. Chen Xi is a little girl, but she is covered in bruises because of you."

"I won't help you. The imperial decree sentencing you to death will come down soon. Just leave it to fate!" Song Qingwan prepared to get up and leave.

After hearing this, Yu had a blank expression on her face. It seemed that Song Qingwan would not help her anymore, so she had to use her last trump card.

"Song Qingwan! What would happen if the emperor knew that you have been secretly taking contraceptive pills since you were favored by the emperor?"

Song Qingwan turned around suddenly and asked, "How do you know?"

Yu laughed triumphantly, "Hahaha, weren't you determined to leave just now? Why are you stopping now?"

"Since you first entered the palace and moved into Yufangzhai, and went to the harem to pay respects to the empress and other concubines for the first time, and used a little trick to deal with the difficulties raised by Concubine Rou and Concubine Lan, I knew that you were not an ordinary person, so I asked someone to secretly keep an eye on your whereabouts!"

"And later, when you succeeded in overthrowing Concubine Lan, it was also because I sent Meng'er to you to add fuel to the fire! You thought I was at the end of my rope, but you didn't expect that I still had a trump card!"

"I advise you to help me! Otherwise, your current status and position will all be ruined!" Yu threatened.

Unexpectedly, Song Qingwan remained surprisingly calm after hearing this.

"You think you are so smart, but you don't know that I have already confessed these words to the emperor on the bed. Not only did he not blame me, he also felt sorry for me for being so cautious when I first entered the palace."

"If you tell the emperor this now, I'm afraid he will hate you even more, and the imperial edict will come faster~" Song Qingwan said, and left.

Yu was stunned for a long time. She thought she had the most important handle in her hand, but she didn't use it even when she was frustrated before. However, she didn't expect that it had been a joke between them in bed.

At this moment, she was really crazy...
