Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 453 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (21)

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the harem," so real and cruel.

The system thinks that the death of someone is quite normal. Even though Concubine De and the Queen died so quickly, it is not a big deal if the Queen has no worries. However, Concubine De and her family were treated so miserably by the Emperor, and even Prince Yong and Prince Jin suffered as a result. Wouldn't the other princes with sons join hands to make trouble for the Emperor?

This kind of thing is really possible, because the Prince of Yong and the Prince of Jin are precedents.

This time, all the dishonest people were swept up in the emperor's typhoon. The honest people were also afraid, and anyone who had ever taken action felt uneasy.

"The emperor has no offspring, so the sons of several princes may take the throne. This is a normal succession. If these princes take the opportunity to seize power and take the throne themselves, it is a rebellion. They are so timid that they only dare to use some trivial means that are not worth it. Do they really start a rebellion? We overestimate them."

The emperor dared to take action against Prince Yong and Prince Jin because he knew himself and his brothers well.

If nothing unexpected happens, once Prince Yong and Prince Jin fall, the other princes will be quiet for a while.

This period of time happened to be when Shen Yao was protecting her pregnancy. Once Shen Yao gave birth to the royal heir safely and the emperor had a child, the situation in the court of the State of Yu would change again.

Without mentioning anything else, just saying that following the emperor is always more promising than following certain people and rebelling.

Who would risk their life and property to start a rebellion that could kill nine generations of their clan, unless they were tied to a boat and couldn't get out, such as Defei's family, the Ye family.

But the ending of the Ye family was not good. The Defei in the palace died first, the direct branches of the family were all beheaded, the side branches were exiled to the frontier and never returned to the capital, and the concubine and eldest son of Prince Yong, who had invested a lot of money, were killed one after another. Each of these events was a good warning.

'System, continue to keep an eye on the situation inside and outside the Hibiscus Palace, and pay attention to other concubines in the harem, including the events of the previous dynasty.' Now Shen Yao is no longer an insignificant concubine. You must know that the royal heir in her belly is related to the inheritance of the entire Yu Kingdom.

The system assured Shen Yao that it would take care of everything. It would be easy and simple to monitor everyone.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao reminded the system not to fail. The lessons learned from other people's experiences are also their guiding lights. They cannot rest on their laurels until they are truly successful.

The whole incident, which was started by the court targeting the Shen family, then pushed to a climax by Shen Yao, and finally detonated by the emperor, finally returned to calm in August.

The palace is about to hold the annual Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, which is supposed to be a grand event. Coupled with the news that Shen Yao is pregnant, the emperor has ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hold it with great emphasis.

“I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is transporting flowers from the hot spring villa outside the palace into the palace.

Your Majesty, the flowers in our Hibiscus Palace are now all shipped in from outside the palace."

They were specially selected and sent to Furong Palace first. The food, clothing and other treatment provided by the entire Furong Palace surpassed those of all the concubines in the entire harem.

Xiaofu smiled as he held the freshly picked flowers, put them into the vase and placed it in front of his master. A sweet and dry fragrance of the flowers filled the air around Shen Yao.

I sniffed subconsciously, and my whole mood became inexplicably lighter.

"The emperor has ordered, and the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs dare not disobey. The Furong Palace has been at the center of controversy recently. You and Xiaoji should keep an eye on it. We are not afraid of trouble, but we cannot cause it."

Otherwise it would be easy for someone to find fault with her and settle accounts with her later. Although Shen Yao didn't think she would be in trouble, it was better to be cautious. She was currently using Xiaofu and Xiaoji quite well and had no plans to train new people.

Xiaofu nodded respectfully, "Master, rest assured, I understand."

Shen Yao smiled and waved her hand, lying on the couch to bask in the sun, "Go and get busy, and report back to me if you have anything to say."

"Yes"

Xiaofu hunched over and turned to go out, just in time to bump into Xiaoji who was coming back with some pastries.

"Master, please take a rest. Don't rush to use it. Please ask Doctor Lu to help take a look. There have been some dishonest people in Furong Palace recently. Please take care of the master's health."

Ever since the pregnancy news was announced, Xiaofu has been a little suspicious.

It's really not her fault for being timid. There are really all kinds of monsters in the palace. Even if they guard Furong Palace tightly, the "added" items are still continuously delivered and appear beside and in front of the master.

"Don't worry, sister. I asked Dr. Lu to take a private look at it when I came back.

The small kitchen in Hibiscus Palace is still short of staff, I will go to the Imperial Kitchen later to urge them to complete it as soon as possible."

As long as they have their own small kitchen, their masters can be more at ease with their daily food and drink, and they will have more time and energy to keep an eye on other things.

As a personal servant who often goes out of the palace to work for her master, Xiaoji knows the importance of Furong Palace best.

Even the stewards who used to be arrogant had to humble themselves and apologize with a smile. There was no need to elaborate on how important the baby in the master's belly was.

"I'll go with you to the imperial kitchen, especially when it comes to selecting people, loyalty is more important than ability." The food in the palace is not too bad, but you can't guarantee that some people have bad hearts.

Xiaofu waved his hand and pulled Xiaoji to a room not far away for a private chat.

The two were both Shen Yao's personal maids, and they accompanied their master from outside the palace. How could the deep friendship between the two be compared with that of later generations? In this palace, they were the most loyal to their master, and the selection criteria also had to refer to their characteristics.

…………

The sun was shining brightly. Shen Yao slept a lot during her pregnancy and often fell asleep without realizing it.

Today was the same. When Shen Yao opened her eyes, she saw Yu Yu sitting not far away and reading a book.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you wake me up when you came?"

Shen Yao asked knowingly, looking at the other person with misty eyes.

Yu Yu put down the book in his hand, stood up and came to the couch to sit next to Shen Yao, "I heard from the imperial physician that my beloved concubine is very tired during pregnancy and should rest more. I came here for nothing. Wouldn't it be a delay for the emperor to wake up my beloved concubine?"

In other words, Shen Yao doesn't care about these things, otherwise, when a scumbag like the emperor opens his mouth, people would want to beat him up.

What kind of words are these? They keep saying "emperor's son" on the left and "emperor's son" on the right. It seems that the purpose of the concubines' existence is to give birth to an heir to the emperor.

"Your Majesty only cares about your son, not me?" Shen Yao took Yu Yu's hand and placed it on her slightly bulging belly. She was almost four months pregnant at this time, and it was obvious to the touch.

Yu Yu obviously did this kind of thing often, and there was no unnatural emotion at all.

Smilingly teasing Shen Yao and the child for competing for favor, Yu Yu waved his hand and asked Li Guiquan to bring the things over. They were all treasures in the warehouse, and now Yu Yu was using them to please Shen Yao.

Shen Yao's eyes were touched, "Your Majesty~"

Yu Yu hugged Shen Yao around the waist, and the two of them leaned against each other and rubbed their ears, which made the others so embarrassed that they lowered their heads and kept silent.

Snapped--

The sound of porcelain breaking could be heard as the imperial concubine threw a tantrum in the main hall of Yongning Palace.

"Your Majesty has gone to Hibiscus Palace again. What's so good about Concubine Xin? Isn't she pregnant? I can be pregnant too. Why doesn't Your Majesty come to Yongning Palace?"

The imperial concubine sat on the ground, cursing with resentment those who made her unhappy (except the emperor).

Lian Xiang: ...

Lianxiang didn't know what to say. Ever since Concubine De and the Queen passed away one after another, her master's mood became erratic. It was fine when the Emperor came, but as long as the Emperor didn't come, her master would lose control and curse others.

Fortunately, the Yongning Palace was heavily guarded inside and outside, so some words did not spread too much. Otherwise, Lianxiang did not dare to imagine how the emperor would react if he heard the news.

"My lady, the ground is cold, can I help you up?"

Lianxiang was about to pull the person away when she spoke, but was violently pushed away by the imperial concubine.

With a thud, Lianxiang's back hit the wooden bench in the middle. She arched her body in pain, like a cooked shrimp.

The imperial concubine pretended not to see anything and kept complaining about why the emperor didn't come to Yongning Palace but had to go to Furong Palace. She said that she was no different from Concubine Xin, so why couldn't the emperor see her joy?

Could it be that what Concubine De said was right? The emperor wanted to cause trouble for the Zhou family, so he chose to treat me coldly.

Zhou family, Zhou family, "Father must have displeased the emperor. Father always contradicts the emperor and is involved with several other princes. This is it, this must be the case. I want to find the emperor, I..."

The imperial concubine stood up and wanted to go out, but suddenly she lost her balance and fainted on the ground.

Lianxiang propped herself up and caught the falling imperial concubine, and her heart finally settled down.

Sure enough, it was right to feed the master the tranquilizer in advance, otherwise if the master ran away like this, it would only bring shame to the master and the Zhou family.

It seems that I have to send a letter to the master outside the palace. There are some tranquilizers that cannot be relied on from the Imperial Hospital, and it would be even worse to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Has the Imperial Concubine reached this point? What did the Imperial Concubine De say to her before she passed away?"

Thanks to the help of the system, Shen Yao, who was far away in Furong Palace, could also know something about the situation in Yongning Palace.

Even though the Emperor was right beside them and the two of them were eating from the Eight Immortals Table, Shen Yao still dared to blatantly be distracted by the system.

'Nothing much to say, just the usual verbal attacks, the same old stuff.'

The system looked innocent. It actually monitored the conversation between the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine. Seeing that its host did not believe it, it simply repeated it again.

Shen Yao:......

The words were exactly as the system said, and were no different from what the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine said in the past. However, something was wrong with the Imperial Concubine after the Virtuous Concubine passed away.

What is certain is that the imperial concubine was not manipulated by the emperor. Even after ten days or half a month, the emperor would go to Yongning Palace to sit or have a meal.

With such treatment... Logically speaking, the imperial concubine should not become more and more crazy, but more and more normal. After all, there is no more Concubine De who can argue with her.

and many more?

Could it really be related to the absence of Concubine De?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Shen Yao's mind, and she wanted to seize it, but unexpectedly, the emperor's words brought her back to reality.

"What were you thinking about just now, my beloved concubine?" The emperor placed the prepared soup in front of Shen Yao and asked tentatively with a smile, "I called my beloved concubine several times but she didn't respond."

"Nonsense! Host, don't listen to the emperor's nonsense. There weren't many sounds, just one just now," the system couldn't help but refute the emperor's exaggeration in its mind, and reminded the emperor that he had been secretly observing the host for a long time, and he should have noticed that the host was distracted.

Shen Yao:......
