Chapter 132 The Imperial Concubine is Using Her as a Shield Again Today
While eating, Consort Xian discovered a blood-activating ingredient.
The palace servants who prepared and delivered the meals were all dismissed.
A small oil stain was found at the door of Consort De's room.
The palace servants responsible for cleaning were all punished.
It was discovered that the water used for bathing Consort Shu was infused with saffron.
The palace servant responsible for boiling water was punished.
Consort Jing hid spices in her pillow when she slept.
The palace maid responsible for making the beds was punished.
The Emperor was surprised to find that his four consorts also had people who were knowledgeable in this area.
They were caught as soon as they made their move.
The enemy suffers zero damage, while the self suffers 100.
The first operation was thus ruined.
Several of the people the emperor had planted were killed in one fell swoop.
However, some were not caught.
The four concubines didn't even conduct any interrogation; they simply arrested and punished the people in charge of the relevant matters.
Regardless of whether you did it or not, whether you wanted to harm others or were instructed by others, whether you were the main culprit or an innocent bystander, none of you will be spared.
The four concubines don't have the energy to find out who did these things.
In the harem, everyone is your enemy.
Not acting now doesn't mean I won't act in the future.
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. All four concubines have closed their palaces to rest and prepare for pregnancy.
Everything around us, from the bed we sleep in to the water we drink, has been thoroughly inspected.
All the palace servants who were sent away were replaced with their own people.
An unexpected event occurs, and a new group of people is brought in.
Replace them all with people you trust.
He turned his palace into an impenetrable iron barrel.
The emperor watched as nails were pulled out one by one.
Fewer and fewer people are being planted in.
Even their daily activities cannot be detected.
The Imperial Concubine's side still acted as if this was the Emperor's child, and that the four consorts were now all precious and needed to be served well.
However, these words were only spoken in Fengzao Palace; nothing was sent to the four concubines.
He didn't even go to see the four concubines in person or show them any concern.
He didn't even consult the imperial physician, and he didn't inquire at all about the condition of the four concubines.
Their main principle is to keep to themselves and only use their words within their own circle.
The emperor wanted to frame the imperial concubine, but he couldn't find an opportunity.
The Imperial Concubine was so idle that she would go to the Imperial Garden to feed the fish one day and admire the flowers the next.
Then they came to guard outside the Qianlong Hall.
They simply carried chairs outside and waited, refusing to leave until they saw the emperor.
The Emperor always rushed over from Mingyue Palace.
As it turned out, the imperial concubine simply brought a plate of fish and a pot of flower tea.
Does an emperor like him lack such a thing?
Without the imperial concubine, would he not be able to eat fish or drink flower tea?
But the Emperor still had to act as if the Consort cared for him and specially sent it to him, and that he was very happy.
If I refuse, I will face the Emperor's interrogation about whether he dislikes me.
Once the Emperor is waiting patiently in the Qianlong Palace, the Imperial Concubine stops coming.
They specifically chose to come when he was at the Bright Moon Palace.
If the Emperor hadn't known that the Consort only sent him food on a whim whenever she wanted to make something or eat something delicious, he would have suspected that she had eyes in his body.
Jiang He didn't have eyes on him, but she did have ears on Consort Yue.
Hearing the two of them being all lovey-dovey, Jiang He got excited and went to the Qianlong Palace to arrest them.
The Emperor himself said that he would not allow Consort Yue to have children until the harem was thoroughly cleaned up.
We can't have to have an abortion every time.
This is so harmful to Consort Yue's health.
If the Emperor doesn't care, then your sister will.
The emperor was always in great pain when he was disturbed during their moments of mutual understanding.
Consort Yue was already suffering a double blow because she lost her own child and the fourth consort was also pregnant. Now, even when the emperor was with her, she was often disturbed.
The Emperor said he was just using the Consort as a shield, and that he didn't like her at all.
However, every time the Imperial Concubine sought him out, the Emperor would leave her behind to see her.
The emperor said that whoever he favored would be targeted by all the women in the harem.
However, she did not feel that the imperial concubine was being targeted.
On the contrary, the palace servants were all snobbish. Seeing that the Consort was favored, they would send her any good things they could to curry favor with her.
They could also openly and legitimately gain the emperor's favor and receive the best of everything.
On the contrary, the emperor said he loved her the most, but he always came secretly, and would immediately abandon her if anything happened.
And the children, even those children were killed by the emperor himself.
She could never forget the bowl of abortifacient medicine that the Emperor personally fed her.
The emperor said that no other woman was worthy of bearing his children.
However, all four of his concubines are now pregnant with his children.
He said he would leave everything to him and wouldn't let the children live.
But aren't the four concubines all doing well now?
If you think about it, it's been almost three months.
If her child were still alive, he would be about that age by now.
Why could the emperor keep their children for so long, yet kill them the day he discovered them?
Consort Yue felt that she was ill.
She could no longer love the emperor as she had before.
Sometimes she even wished the emperor wouldn't come, because seeing him would remind her of her child.
Instead of welcoming the emperor with joy, they were filled with pain.
After three months, the pregnancy of the four concubines became more stable.
The people around me have all been replaced with people I trust.
Besides, it's impossible to stay indoors forever; it's time to go out for a walk.
While it's not too cold yet, we can still come out and get some fresh air.
When winter comes and it snows, I really won't dare to go out casually. If I slip and fall, it will be a big problem.
I'll definitely be careful when I go out now.
After all, they knew that there were many people in the harem who didn't want them to have this child.
Consort Xian, Consort De, and Consort Shu all came out.
Consort Jing still dared not come out; she remained hidden and did not go anywhere.
She planned to just lie low like this.
If she doesn't go out, there might just be two people eyeing her pregnancy.
If they go out, who knows what they'll think when they see her belly.
If she were to encounter someone who was determined to fight to the death, who knows if someone might deliberately run into her stomach.
Two months later, Fengzao Palace became lively once again.
Everyone's eyes unconsciously drifted towards the three men's stomachs.
Alas, ever since the four concubines became pregnant, the Emperor has been so busy that he hasn't even come to the inner palace anymore.
Only the Imperial Concubine could see the Emperor; the others couldn't even see him.
I originally thought that since all four concubines were pregnant, they would have more opportunities to see the Emperor.
Unexpectedly, the emperor stopped visiting the inner palace altogether.
At this moment, it goes without saying how envious and jealous he felt of the four concubines.
When the Emperor learned that the four consorts had been released, he even went to pay his respects to the Imperial Consort.
Doesn't this present an opportunity?
Although only three have arrived, let's deal with these three first. So much time has passed, and the Emperor is getting impatient.
The Imperial Concubine would always prepare snacks and tea. The Emperor would instruct the palace servants preparing the snacks to find a way to add something to them, and the servants preparing the tea to add something to the tea.
Regardless of which method succeeds, even if those two palace maids are completely rendered useless, it will still cause the four concubines and the imperial concubine to fight each other.
