"Imperial Physician, you said that someone drugged you, but what's going on?”Water Deity asked.
"Little Master doesn't have any signs of pregnancy, but she has the same reaction as when she was pregnant. It's obvious that someone used medicine to cause this change. Long-term consumption of such medicine might lead to infertility in the future!”Everyone present was shocked.
"Who will be the one to harm bengong next time?”Zhi Ran's heart ached. She could only think of Xiang Zhu and Guan Ling. However, she didn't know who, where, and what kind of medicine she had used. She had no evidence, so she couldn't explain anything.
"Imperial physician, you are bengong's imperial physician in the future, how should I address you?”
"This lowly subject is called Nianzhong."
"Alright, if you can find out who harmed bengong, bengong will reward you heavily.”
"Thank you, young master. Then, young master should rest. This lowly subject will come again tomorrow.”Then he took his leave.
After sending Nianzhong away, Zhi Ran's heart was filled with goosebumps. She knew that ever since she was chosen by the Emperor, it was impossible for her to live a stable life. In the harem, there were many fights. Zhi Ran had never thought about it before entering the palace. "Let's go to the Daixia Palace. We must tell Ruoqin about this. I hope she won't be as unlucky as me.”
The Double Ninth Festival had arrived. The Emperor and the concubines of the harem climbed the mountain and looked at the distant scenery. Guan Ling couldn't help but sing," The wind of my hometown blows on the mountain, gently caressing me. I look up to the sky and miss my hometown. Tears flow in my eyes, and rain flows in my eyes.”Her voice was so sweet and sincere that all the concubines present had tears in their eyes. The youngest, Guo Qingqiong, could not help but cry.
" I haven't heard your singing for a long time…" The Emperor walked up to Guan Ling and held her hand. Zhi Ran saw that the situation was not good. The thing she was most worried about had still happened. Tonight, Guan Ling was in bed.
"Could it be that the person who harmed me was Wang Guanling?!”After Zhi Ran found out that she had been drugged, she had always wanted to find out who had harmed her. Seeing that Guan Ling was about to be favored, Zhi Ran felt very uncomfortable.
"Sister, don't jump to conclusions so early.”Ruoqin pulled Zhi Ran's hand and said," We don't have any evidence, everything is just a suspicion. Sister, don't worry, you are still bathed in the Emperor's grace. No matter how much Wang Guanling is favored, Sister will not be bullied by her!”
"It's impossible for her to compete with me openly, but she's secretly harming me. I have to be careful!”Zhi Ran looked at Ruoqin and said," And you! Who knows what they will do to you!”
Ruoqin nodded and placed her other hand on Zhi Ran's hands.""Don't worry, sister. Wasn't Elder Sister always steady? Why was she so anxious today? Elder Sister had always said to wait for fatigue and wait and see, but why couldn't she sit still today?”
Zhi Ran shook her head and said,"I never thought that they would be so vicious to me. Now that Wang Guanling is going to be favored, don't you think that our days will be even more difficult?"”Ruoqin also frowned, speechless.
The Double Ninth Festival was destined to be a sleepless night for many people. What Zhi Ran was most worried about was naturally what others were most worried about. Xiangzhu played the song alone, her emotions deep, tears streaming down her face.
"Niangniang, the emperor won't be coming. He went to Fragrance Hall. You should rest early." Xiang Zhu didn't pay attention to Pin Ru, she was still playing the flute, the flute that the emperor had personally rewarded, silently playing.
"Guan Ling will be favored again one day. She's so smart, how could she not know how to fight for favor?”At the same time, Xin Pin, the other woman in Yi Kun Palace, could no longer sit still. Guan Ling being favored again was a huge blow to her, and he had once persecuted her like that.
"Niangniang, don't worry. Noble Yong won't tell the emperor. Besides, she pampered Ruojiao first, and you returned a tooth for a tooth. If she dares to say it, she won't be in the right!”Biying said.
"Yeah, she definitely won't be in the right. Alright, Biying, help bengong wash up and change!”When Biying helped Xin Pin up, she found that Xin Pin was trembling all over.
The Emperor arrived at the Fragrant Palace and said to Guan Ling,"Why does your place smell so good?"
Guan Ling smiled charmingly and said,"Your Majesty, you'll be able to smell something even more fragrant!"”With that, he turned around and disappeared.
The Emperor lifted the curtain layer by layer. After lifting the last layer of gauze, he saw Guan Ling lying on her side on the bed, wearing only a dudou. Her hair was loose.
"Emperor, it smells even better here!" Guan Ling spoke in a coquettish tone and posture. She supported herself on the bed with one hand and gently lifted the curtain with the other. After she was done speaking, she put down the curtain and Che Xuan extinguished several candles. With Guan Ling's teasing, the wine he had drunk, and the incense that was filled with aphrodisiac, the Emperor couldn't stand it anymore. He lifted the bed curtain and went inside. Immediately after, Guan Ling's laughter could be heard.
"Noble Jin Yong will be a concubine and will be given a new title, Dun. She will be the head of Yikun Palace.”A few days later, the Emperor said to the Empress," What do you think, Empress?”
"ChenQie has no objections, but Yi Kun Palace's main seat is Xin Pin, how can a palace have two main seats?”The queen replied.
"Then…"
" The Empress Dowager has arrived-" The Emperor seemed to have something to say, but when he heard the Empress Dowager, he could only swallow his words back.
"Your son pays his respects to Empress." The Emperor and Empress bowed.
"Get up." The Empress Dowager walked to the main seat and said," Why are you here today?”
"Your son wishes to confer Noble Yong the title of Concubine Dun.”The Emperor bowed and said.
"Noble Jin Yong is Concubine Dun? No!" The Empress Dowager refused sternly." This Yi Kun Palace already has Xin Pin as the head. How can a palace have two heads? If the emperor insists on promoting her to noble person Yong, then let Xin Pin be promoted to concubine and still occupy the main position of Yi Kun Palace.”
"This…Empress, you are too biased towards Xin Pin. Xin Pin is not of any help to the Dragon Vein, so why did you promote her to a concubine?”The emperor was very unhappy with the empress dowager's favoritism. The emperor had never liked Xin Pin. He felt that she was not beautiful and liked to show off, which was really annoying.
"Then Noble Yong is helpful to the Dragon Vein? They've only been in the palace for a year, and you've already made her a noble. That's enough. To make her a noble twice in a year is too much. If you continue like this, won't you be promoted to a concubine next year and then become a noble consort?! How many times has this widow told you, you are biased, you don't like Xin Pin, so you have almost never been to her place! If you really want to be conferred the title of noble forever, fine, then it won't be too late to wait until she's pregnant with a dragon descendant!”The Empress Dowager still refused.
"Imperial Mother, Yanxi Palace lacks the main position, why not transfer Xin Pin to Yanxi Palace?”The Empress seemed to be looking for a compromise.
"No! Aijia has decided that if you want to be promoted to noble forever, you have to be promoted to Xin Pin at the same time, there can't be any mistakes! This widow also does not allow you to transfer Noble Yong to Yanxi Palace. The last time Noble Yong bullied Xin Pin, this widow punished Noble Yong, but you still protect Noble Yong everywhere. If you continue to dote on her like this, she will be above the harem! No!" The Empress Dowager didn't appreciate the Empress 'kindness at all and had no choice but to put the matter of Guanling being a concubine on hold.
When this matter reached Guan Ling, she was furious,"What? Bengong is deeply indebted to the Emperor, why should I be promoted together with Xin Pin?! And why should she be the host? Preposterous!" As she cursed, the door creaked open and Xin Pin glared angrily at Guan Ling.
Guan Ling was shocked at first, but then she remembered that she was deeply loved by the Emperor. She glared at Xin Pin and said,"Yo, Consort Xin Pin is here? Why do you look so pale? Recently bengong has received the emperor's grace, is elder sister angry?”
Xin Pin angrily rebuked,"You haven't been conferred the title of concubine yet, so why aren't you bowing when you see me?"!”
"You! Why? Don't tell me you still want to tell the emperor? Go and tell him that if anything happens to bengong, the emperor can send you to the cold palace!”Guan Ling turned her head to the side. She hated Xin Pin for having the Empress Dowager's support, otherwise she would have gotten rid of Xin Pin.
"Humph, do you think bengong is so stupid? This morning Bengong saw the ashes of the incense burner you poured out last night. Bengong will tell you the truth. Bengong also knows a little about spices. Your incense contains something that arouses love. If Bengong tells the Empress Dowager about this, what do you think will happen?”Xin Pin smiled proudly.
"You!" Guan Ling was furious. Although the Emperor wouldn't do anything about this, if the Empress Dowager found out, she would definitely punish her and would never agree to make her a concubine. Thinking of this, she could only give in and say,"Xin Pin niangniang, don't be angry. You also know that the emperor dotes on me. Even if you tell the empress dowager, the emperor will pardon me. Consort Xin Pin, you are a magnanimous person, it is best not to alarm the Empress Dowager.”
Xin Pin saw Guan Ling give in and said,"Bengong does not want to make things difficult for Younger Sister. How about this, you give Bengong a little of that incense, this way we both have something to use against each other, right?”Guan Ling was startled but didn't say anything.
Xin Pin walked over and grabbed Guan Ling's hand,"These days, elder sister has been thinking a lot. Elder sister feels that the two of us are constantly meeting each other, and it's not good to always be at odds. Why don't we make peace? Elder sister's favor naturally can't compete with younger sister's, so elder sister only wishes for a dragon descendant.”
Guan Ling frowned and hesitated. If she didn't agree now, she would go to the Empress Dowager and make up some stories. The Empress Dowager would definitely think that her style was not right and use such despicable methods to win favor. If he agreed, Xin Pin would have a child. What if she became even more arrogant?
"Sister, should I agree or not?" Xin Pin said as she adjusted the hairpin on her flag.
"Che Xuan, go get Bengong's incense for Consort Xin Pin.”Guan Ling turned to Che Xuan.
"Yes."
Not long after, Che Xuan brought out a small box from the inner room. It was filled with a lot of incense. Xiangzhu had given her the incense. After she brought it back, she had Che Xuan refine it to make the aphrodisiac effect even better. Although she was reluctant, she had no choice but to give it to Xin Pin.
Xin Pin felt as if she had found a treasure." Thank you, sister. When I am pregnant, I will definitely thank you."”With that, he turned around and went back. Guan Ling bowed and looked at Xin Pin's back with a frown.
"Why did Master give the incense to her?" Che Xuan didn't understand.
"If I don't give it to her, she will definitely go back and tell the Empress Dowager about BenGong using spices to induce love. Forget it, the emperor wasn't going to her place anyway. Even if she had these things, she wouldn't have the chance to use them.”With that, he smiled and went back to the room. Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
