Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 182 Shen Zhinian Turns the Emperor Away

Chu Xiyan looked at the body on the ground and choked up, "I always thought the name Chu Daya sounded rustic. Every time Daddy called me that, I would correct him, but he could never remember. It was not until he died that Daddy called me Xiyan for the first time."

"But I, but I can't be happy at all... because no one will call me Daya anymore..."

"Master always taught Xiyan that one should distinguish between gratitude and resentment. In this case, how can I not avenge my blood feud? Not to mention selling myself into slavery, even if I have to climb mountains of swords and plunge into boiling water, I will do it without hesitation!"

The female teacher asked in a complicated tone: "What about Xiaobao?"

Chu Xiyan wiped the tears from her face and sniffed: "Uncle Liu and his wife at the corner of the street have never had a child. They like Xiaobao very much and often say that it would be great if Xiaobao was their child."

"Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are both good people. They have watched Xiaobao grow up. They will definitely be willing to adopt Xiaobao. It is better for Xiaobao to be their son than to wander around with me."

"Since there is no law in the world, I will go to the palace to seek justice! Concubine Liu and I...will fight to the death!"

The female teacher shook her head: "Xi Yan, you are still a child, you think things are too simple."

"There are different ranks of palace maids. Even if you can enter the palace, you will start as a maid of the lowest rank. The struggle in the palace is far more cruel than you can imagine. It is not certain whether you can live to see the day when you can meet Concubine Liu."

Chu Xiyan said firmly: "Even if there is only a slight possibility, I will not refuse even if I die! I am nine years old this year. Even if I can only live to forty, I still have thirty-one years to wait. I don't believe that in these decades, I will not see Concubine Liu once!"

"Even if you can see her, so what? The Imperial Concubine is worth a lot of money, how can you hurt her?"

"It is precisely because she is a rough jade and I am a hard stone that I have nothing to fear. When rough jade and hard stone collide, it is the rough jade that breaks into pieces!"

At this point, Chu Xiyan kowtowed heavily to the female teacher: "Teacher, Xiyan heard you say that there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and those who can serve in the Forbidden City, even if they are just a little palace maid, are all beautiful."

"You also said that Xiyan is a beauty. With such a look, she will never be trapped in the north of the city for her whole life."

"Please, help Xiyan!"

Seeing Chu Xiyan's firm attitude, the female teacher fell silent.

She was not actually a teacher, but just an ordinary maid in the palace, who was lucky enough to study and learn calligraphy with her master. When she turned 25, she was released from the palace.

Her relatives were all dead. When a girl reaches the age of fifteen, marriage is discussed. At her age, marrying an unmarried man is simply a pipe dream.

Perhaps because she had seen too much of the world in the palace, she was unwilling to marry a widower as his second wife, and even more unwilling to marry an old man as his concubine, so she remained single.

Later, she was hired by the Chu family as a female teacher to teach the girl in front of her how to read. After accompanying her day after day, in her heart, she had already regarded Chu Xiyan as her own child.

Because of this, she didn't want to watch Xi Yan go to the palace to take risks. The Forbidden City was a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones...

But she also knew that Xiyan had the most stubborn personality, and with the blood feud right in front of her, she couldn't persuade her.

Instead of letting this child rush to her death recklessly, it is better to give her more advice.

"That's all..."

The female teacher said helplessly: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you anymore."

"With your looks, you will definitely be chosen by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Next, I will teach you all the rules of the palace. After you enter the palace, you will stand out from the other maids."

"That's all I can do for you. How you proceed from here, whether it's a blessing or a curse, depends on you..."

Chu Xiyan kowtowed again and choked up, "Thank you, Master!"

……

Tingyu Pavilion.

Shen Zhinian's long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Fuqiu, who was watching nearby, said in surprise: "The young master is awake!"

The palace maids all knelt on the ground and congratulated loudly: "Congratulations, young lady! Congratulations, young lady! You are pregnant with a dragon, and you will live a long and blessed life!"

When Tang Luochuan secretly diagnosed her with pregnancy, Shen Zhinian told Fuqiu and the others that once the news was made public, she would reward everyone.

But now she wanted to maintain her image of being hurt by love, so her voice was still weak: "Everyone, get up."

"Everyone in Tingyu Pavilion, including Imperial Physician Tang, will be rewarded with a monthly stipend for half a year."

Everyone was overjoyed: "Thank you, my Lord!"

Shen Zhinian touched her belly, raised her eyes and looked around, her eyes turned cold: "Your Majesty is not here?"

When the emperor felt most guilty about her, she revealed her pregnancy and asked Tang Luochuan to say that she was at risk of miscarriage due to excessive grief. Based on her understanding of Nangong Xuanyu, he would not abandon her at this time.

Could it be that something happened that she didn't know about?

Handan said quickly, "My lady, it was because the eldest princess suddenly had a high fever that His Majesty rushed to Yongshou Palace. Before he left, he also told her to send someone to inform her as soon as you woke up. His Majesty is very worried about you and the heir in your belly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Changde's shrill voice rang out from outside: "His Majesty has arrived --!!!"

Handan covered her mouth and laughed, "I guess what I said was right. Your Majesty is still worried about the young lady."

Shen Zhinian sneered, "Don't open the door. Just say that I woke up, took the medicine and went back to sleep, and I told no one to see me."

Not only Handan, but everyone was stunned.

Madam Xiao whispered, "My lady, that's His Majesty..."

No one in the palace has ever dared to turn the door away from His Majesty. If His Majesty gets angry, wouldn't all the plans that the young master had made be in vain?

Shen Zhinian said confidently: "Just do as I say."

Nanny Xiao understands the palace rules, but she doesn't understand a man's heart.

The easier it is to get something, the less they will cherish it. On the contrary, challenging women are more likely to stir up ripples in their hearts.

Nangong Xuanyu's emotions towards her were at their most intense, so of course she wanted to make him even more anxious and worried.

This is called playing hard to get.

Handan had no choice but to speak through the door, "Your Majesty, the young lady just woke up, drank the pregnancy-maintaining medicine and went to sleep again. The young lady has instructed not to see anyone... Please go back..."

The palace servants at the door were so scared that they knelt on the ground, and even Li Changde was trembling with fear!

After visiting Yongshou Palace, His Majesty hurried to Tingyu Pavilion and stayed up all night. Today is the first day of the new year, how could Concubine Rou be so ignorant?

She doesn't understand His Majesty's temper. His Majesty hates concubines who are spoiled and arrogant the most!

I'm afraid that your majesty's guilt towards Concubine Rou will really be ruined by her...
