Chapter 1261 The Secret of Concubine Chun’s Pregnancy
Concubine Chun works for Prince Jin. With the prince, she will be able to cooperate with the outside world in the future, and her value will double.
If you plan for yourself, a mother's status depends on her son, which is the ladder for women in the harem to climb to heaven.
She acts like...
Shen Zhinian narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "It seems that Concubine Chun doesn't care about whether this child can be born safely."
"Even... she couldn't wait to use the child in her womb to stir up even greater trouble. Or, in other words, to achieve some urgent goal."
Handan gasped in shock, covering her mouth and saying, "Your Majesty, are you saying... she, she dared to murder the heir to the throne?!"
When she said this, Handan's eyes widened with horror.
Shen Zhinian did not immediately confirm or deny it.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked out the window at the dark night.
A child who is not expected by his biological mother and may even be used as a bargaining chip and a sacrifice... What kind of trouble will this cause in the deep palace?
"perhaps……"
Shen Zhinian reasoned, "The meaning of this child's existence isn't just about being born, right?"
Handan's voice trembled. "Your Majesty, are you saying... Concubine Chun dared to use Long Si as a pretext to frame others?!"
"But, but that's her own flesh and blood! Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so how could there be such a cruel mother in this world?"
"Look at Concubine Dun. Even though she has done many bad things, she is willing to cut her wrist and draw blood for the sake of the Third Prince."
"Mrs. Chun...how could she be so cruel?"
A trace of indifference, a look of seeing through the world, flashed across Shen Zhinian's eyes: "The world is so big, and there are all kinds of strange things. The evil of human nature is sometimes far beyond your imagination and mine."
She said no more and called out, "Xiao Mingzi."
Xiao Mingzi, who had been waiting outside the curtain, immediately came in, hunched over, and said with his head down, "The servant is here."
"Send a few of the smartest people to keep a close eye on the person from Shuixi Pavilion."
Shen Zhinian calmly instructed, "Everyone she met, everything she said, even what she ate and where she went, must be recorded for me. Report back immediately, no matter how big or small."
"Yes! I understand!"
Xiao Mingzi cheered up and immediately took the order and left.
……
The candlelight in Shuixi Pavilion is soft.
Concubine Chun leaned on the soft pillow, one hand unconsciously stroking her bulging belly, but her eyes were wandering, and she did not show much joy of becoming a mother.
Yingxiang came forward with a cup of warm pregnancy-maintaining medicine, with obvious anxiety on her face.
She lowered her voice and said, "My lady, although His Majesty has rewarded you with a sedan chair and your favor is high, what should we do next?"
"We can't keep going like this..."
Yingxiang didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear.
You can't always rely on provocation and causing trouble to muddy the waters in the harem.
Concubine Chun withdrew her hand and sneered, "What's the hurry?"
"Now I am the only one in the palace who has a dragon seed. I don't know how many eyes are watching Shuixi Pavilion openly or secretly."
"Maybe... there's someone outside listening in right now."
"Especially in times like this, we must remain calm. We must act with utmost caution and never allow anyone to catch us making any mistakes."
Upon hearing this, Yingxiang subconsciously looked towards the closed doors and windows.
She walked over quickly and double-checked that the latch was secure. Then she returned to the couch and said in a voice filled with barely concealed panic, "My lady, it's not that I can't hold my temper."
"It's just...it's just your body...In your early years, in order to practice dancing and maintain a lithe body, you took too many harsh drugs, which have already damaged your foundation."
"The prince clearly said that even though you used the secret medicine to force a pregnancy, and the imperial physician couldn't find any clues, this child... is simply, absolutely impossible to be born!"
Yingxiang's gaze fell on Concubine Chun's round belly, as if she were looking at a trap that could explode at any moment. Her voice was filled with tears: "It's already six months, and it seems...it seems that it will soon be impossible to hide it!"
"Just in case, just in case...we must make plans as soon as possible!"
"My lady, what are you thinking? You must tell me something definite so that I can have a clear mind!"
When Concubine Chun heard Yingxiang's anxious words with a crying tone, instead of panicking, a strange smile slowly appeared on her face.
"Can't give birth?"
There was a calculating glint in her eyes: "Of course I know it won't be born."
"Precisely because she can't be born...she's the best chess piece!"
Yingxiang's voice trembled with fear and excitement: "My lady, then... then who should we use this child to overthrow?"
"To murder the heir to the throne is a heinous crime!"
Concubine Chun's eyes flashed with a sinister light as she said coldly, "The one I most want to overthrow is naturally the one from Zhongcui Palace!"
Not only because the Imperial Noble Consort is His Majesty's most beloved woman, if something happens to her, there will be chaos in the harem.
Moreover...there seemed to be some subtle changes in the attitude of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin towards the Imperial Concubine.
This is something Concubine Chun cannot allow!
"...In short, she must fall!"
Yingxiang said rationally, "My lady, I'm afraid this won't work."
"How long has it been since the last snow silkworm molting incident? Your Majesty hasn't investigated further, but he's certainly suspicious."
"If the royal heir gets into trouble with the imperial concubine again, it would be too much of a coincidence."
"Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine are not stupid people. If they investigate, I'm afraid that instead of bringing her down, they might bring us down first..."
Concubine Chun also recalled the humiliation of being demoted to a concubine last time, and was still frightened.
Yingxiang’s words make sense.
She only had one chance, and she had to make sure it went perfectly.
Then, the next name came to Concubine Chun's mind almost naturally: "...Then it's Concubine Zhuang!"
"Noble Concubine Zhuang?"
Yingxiang was startled, then she understood Chun Guiren's intention: "She is the daughter of the Grand Tutor, and now she holds the position of Imperial Concubine, second only to the Imperial Concubine."
"Furthermore, Grand Tutor Zhuang has returned to the court. His Majesty relies heavily on him. I heard that the court has become much more stable because of him..."
Concubine Chun smiled maliciously: "That's right."
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin must also regard Grand Tutor Zhuang as a thorn in his side."
"That old idiot is a saint in the eyes of scholars all over the world. He has many disciples and friends throughout the government and the country. It's as difficult as climbing to heaven to touch him!"
"But...what if his precious daughter murdered the heir to the throne in the harem?"
The more Concubine Chun spoke, the more she thought this plan was brilliant, and her voice became even lower: "By then, Concubine Zhuang will be in trouble, and the reputation of the Zhuang family will be ruined."
"Even if Your Majesty values Grand Tutor Zhuang as much as he does, can he still tolerate a woman who harmed his offspring and held the position of Imperial Concubine? And can he still reuse her father without any grudges?"
“This is killing three birds with one stone!”
It could not only severely damage the Zhuang family, but also cut off the emperor's arm.
He could also eliminate a difficult opponent for himself and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.
You can also make the most of this useless thing in your stomach!
