After that, she entered the Emperor’s room. In the dark room, she pretended to be the Empress and let the drunk Emperor pamper her.
Later, when she was pregnant, she was brought into the palace and made a concubine. It was not until she gave birth to a Prince that she was made a noble consort.
Because the Empress was also pregnant at that time, in order to let her son be born earlier and become the eldest Prince, she secretly had someone induce labor for her.
However, no matter how much she tried, the Empress’s son was still born a day earlier than her son and became the Crown Prince. He was young and tall, and the Empress’s position was as solid as gold.
As for her, she had a difficult birth due to an improper induced labor. Although she managed to keep her life, she could no longer conceive another baby.
The Second Prince she gave birth to had been in poor health ever since he was born due to improper induced labor. He was weak and sickly. There were even physicians who privately said that he could only live to twenty years old at most.
Ever since the Emperor stayed at her house, he had never pampered her again. Now, he was indifferent.
She didn’t know about the other concubines, but the Emperor had only pampered her once. After that, even if he spent the night at her place, he never touched her ever again.
However, she had secretly asked the physician to secretly let the other concubines drink the fertility soup. Even if the Emperor played with the other concubines, the other concubines would not be able to get pregnant.
This was also the reason why she and the Empress were the only ones in the palace who had a son.
Other people had never even gotten pregnant before, let alone give birth to a daughter for the Emperor.
Even if the Empress was sick, there were specially appointed physicians that would tend to the Empress. She could not bring her people in no matter what.
How else could she make the Empress drink the concoction?
Consort Yi gritted her teeth in hatred.
Seeing her like this, Marquis Ji sighed again.”Why are you competing with the Empress? If you were the Empress, she would protect you. The Emperor is obviously in love with the Empress, there is nothing you can do to change such a fact. We can only hope that your son will be made the Crown Prince and inherit the throne in the future. As long as the Emperor makes him the Crown Prince, then all of our struggles will finally come to a halt. At that time, even if the Empress disagrees, she can’t stop you.”
Hearing this, Consort Yi felt a little more comfortable, but she said, “As long as
Emperor Shu’s body is not found, the Emperor will not elect another Crown Prince.”
“If he can’t be found, can the Emperor not appoint a Crown Prince?” Said Marquis Ji. “Don’t worry, we can afford to wait.”
“But,” Consort Yi still had doubts, “My boy can only live to twenty years old at most…”
Marquis Ji was silent for a long while before sighing, “He’s only seven years old, there are still so many years left. Let’s wait a little longer, just a few more years. If the Emperor still has no intention of making him the Crown Prince…
We’ll think of another way.”
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Guisheng, Grandma Liu, and the other two had been locked up for half a month. On this day, Lizheng went to bring the five of them back.
When the five of them returned, they acted like completely different people. They were much calmer and kept their heads down.
None of them dared to cause any more trouble.
Even the usually overbearing and domineering Grandma Liu, who took advantage of her seniority, was very calm.
These days, the shops in the town had heard that a rice mill in the Xue family could get many kilograms of grain per day at a cheap price, so they sent someone to process 1200 grains of rice per day. However, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s family had to make rice noodles in the mill often, and they were too busy to handle it, so they declined..
