, supported by Xiao Lian and Qin Chen, walked out of the carriage. Xuanyuan Zhiling had long since disappeared without a trace, and the carriage behind Qin Feng had also disappeared without a trace. Qin Feng's heart suddenly sank, and a feeling of loss assaulted her heart.

"Where's the emperor?" Qin Feng could not help but ask, but she already knew the answer would make her heart hurt, and she regretted it the moment she asked.

Qin Chen was startled, seeing that she did not know what to say.

"empress, the moment we got out of the carriage, the emperor said that Imperial Consort Li was pregnant with dragon seeds and needed to be taken care of properly. After that, the empress went to find Imperial Consort Li and …" Qin Chen spoke carefully, her words starting to speed up, as though she wanted to pass through this embarrassing scene.

Qin Feng frowned slightly, her expression mixed with slight confusion.

"Imperial Consort Li? What Imperial Consort Li? " The blankness in Qin Feng's eyes deepened as she stared intently at Qin Chen. She suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

When she said this, Qin Feng clearly knew that the answer should be heartbroken, but humans were always unwilling when they didn't know the result, and curiosity forever surpassed their own rationality. This is why there are always people who take risks, who are willing to fly into the fire.

"empress, you don't need to ask. Actually, this matter …" Qin Chen didn't know how she should continue speaking, and a trace of awkwardness was mixed within her expression.

But Qin Feng's eyes were so determined, so stubborn.

"Just a moment ago, the Emperor already bestowed the title of Imperial Consort Li to Liu Yue. Now that he is the imperial concubine, his status is only a little lower than yours." Qin Chen said, her eyes could not help but size up Qin Feng from time to time.

Qin Feng's face was already filled with despair.

"Hmph. You're truly anxious. It seems that they've found each other's true love." As Qin Feng said that, she walked into the Blue Bird Hall weakly with the support of Xiao Lian and Qin Chen. When she returned to this place once again, there was no way to describe the feeling in Qin Feng's heart. There was nostalgia, sadness, and even a deep sense of powerlessness.

She really didn't have the slightest bit of strength to deal with feelings.

"empress, the emperor said that from today onwards, Xiao Lian will serve you with me." Qin Chen said with a smile. She had already been looking forward to this day for a very, very long time, and the empress had already left the palace for a very, very long time.

Qin Feng nodded her head, from the looks of it, Xuanyuan Zhiling had no plans to enter Blue Bird Hall anymore.

"Did the emperor say anything about asking me to give this Blue Bird Hall to the Imperial Consort Li?" Qin Feng's tone carried a hint of bitterness, and only now did she realize just how sorrowful she was. Grief, like a poison that was rapidly spreading within his body, slowly approached his heart, until his breathing gradually stopped.

Qin Chen was startled, both she and Xiao Lian could already feel the sorrow that came from Qin Feng.

"empress, what are you talking about? This Blue Bird Hall was specially built for the empress from the beginning till the end. No matter how much a normal imperial concubine is spoiled, she wouldn't be able to live in this Blue Bird Hall." Qin Chen stared intently at Qin Feng and she saw the tears in her eyes.

Qin Feng laughed bitterly and did not say anything else.

At this moment, the one who was in a completely different situation than Qin Feng was Liu Yue, the person who was just bestowed the title Imperial Consort Li, there was no need to mention how excited she was.

"Your majesty, chenqie is now your legitimate concubine. This is a great feeling. chenqie has been waiting for this day for a long time, and the child in chenqie's womb has also been waiting for this day for a long time." As he said that, Liu Yue's eyes were tightly locked onto Xuanyuan Zhiling.

Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to smile, but he could only grin, but was unable to smile.

"Recently, we have a lot of national affairs to take care of. Imperial Consort Li, you can stay at the Purple Palace to nurture babies and it's best not to wander around. Everyone in the palace has ulterior motives. When that happens, things won't be good." When Xuanyuan Zhiling said this, his tone was cold, but in Liu Yue's heart, it was filled with concern.

Liu Yue laughed with satisfaction, her expression carrying a little complacency.

"Besides Qin Feng, who else would have ulterior motives for me?" As Liu Yue spoke, she leaned into Xuanyuan Zhiling's embrace and spoke with a slightly spoiled tone.

Xuanyuan Zhiling suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and his expression became a little ugly.

"I'm sure she won't. She's a doctor, a physician, a parent." Xuanyuan Zhiling said as he stood up, he wanted to escape from this awkward place as soon as possible.

"Do doctors not know how to kill people? The doctor, on the other hand, may have been calmer than the average person, for she has seen many dead people. " Liu Yue rolled her eyes at Xuanyuan Zhiling, and said a little sulkily.

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed, he really did not know what to do now, the two women had already tormented Xuanyuan Zhiling to such a state, he wanted to escape, but he could not.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhiling wanted to leave, Liu Yue pulled on her sleeves.

"Your majesty, chenqie really isn't feeling well right now. I've always felt nauseous. My child must be in chenqie's stomach again." As Liu Yue said that, her face became ugly, and she started retching while supporting Xuanyuan Zhiling.

Seeing Liu Yue like that, Xuanyuan Zhiling felt troubled and a little annoyed.

"I'll go find an imperial physician for you. Have a good rest." Xuanyuan Zhiling pushed Liu Yue's hand away, and with an ugly expression, he replied and then walked out of the Purple Palace.

Liu Yue clenched her fists tightly as she watched Xuanyuan Zhiling walk out by herself.

"He's still thinking about Qin Feng. Darned Qin Feng, there will be a day when I defeat you at my hands." Liu Yue gritted her teeth and said, with a look of hatred on her face.

When she said that, Liu Yue had already decided to fight Qin Feng to the death.

Xuanyuan Zhiling hurriedly escaped from the Purple Palace and came to the imperial study where he could take a breath of air. At this moment, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression finally eased up.

At this time, a guard at the entrance of the imperial study reported that Qiu Shangjing had come here to discuss an important matter.

"Your majesty, this humble subject has something to discuss with you." Qiu Shangjing's tone carried a hint of a smile, and Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression immediately became unsightly. The current Xuanyuan Zhiling basically did not have the mood to discuss anything with Qiu Shangjing, and could only wholeheartedly focus on getting rid of Liu Yue.

Qiu Shangjing still entered in the end, because he had the privilege of entering and exiting the Imperial Palace whenever he wanted, including the imperial study of Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"I truly regret giving you that right back then. You are now truly becoming more and more arrogant." Xuanyuan Zhiling said in displeasure after hearing the door open. Because he did not want to argue with Qiu Shangjing, Xuanyuan Zhiling deliberately did not look up at him.

Facing Xuanyuan Zhiling's cold expression, Qiu Shangjing felt a slight sense of loss.

"Your majesty, this humble subject knows what the emperor is worrying about. It's just that the Imperial Consort Li that just arrived at the Imperial Palace today is pregnant with a dragon." Qiu Shangjing said slowly, with a complicated expression on his face.

Xuanyuan Zhiling's thoughts were instantly seen through by him, and he was completely stunned. He raised his eyes to look at Qiu Shangjing's extremely calm face.

"It is truly unable to escape your eyes. However, even if your eyes are even more venomous, it is still a real family matter. Do you, a senior minister, still need to meddle in my family's business?" Xuanyuan Zhiling's meaning was extremely clear, and there was a trace of gloominess in his expression.

However, Qiu Shangjing seemed to not care in the slightest as he said lightly, "That's right, this is indeed your family matter, but your majesty, don't forget to be a spectator and see clearly." Qiu Shangjing's words carried a deep meaning as he stared at Xuanyuan Zhiling.

Hearing Qiu Shangjing's words, Xuanyuan Zhiling's face immediately became ugly.

"This Emperor manages the entire world. Do you think this Emperor is confused?" Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes stared straight at Qiu Shangjing, and said with a cold expression. Facing Xuanyuan Zhiling's cold words, Qiu Shangjing was not afraid at all, but he let out a shallow laugh.

"Your majesty, do you think that it is your dragon seed?" Especially some of the more scheming people. Do you think that Liu Yue is the type of person who doesn't have plans? " Qiu Shangjing's eyes showed complicated emotions.

Xuanyuan Zhiling was startled when he heard this. He truly did not think much, but the reason for this was that this matter involved Qin Feng. As long as it involved Qin Feng, he would not be able to make a proper judgement of it.

"Indeed, I've never thought about this question, but I can't rule out the possibility that it's fake." Xuanyuan Zhiling said with a bit of coldness between his brows. Qiu Shangjing's words were not without reason, but he had always been crafty and cunning. If he really wanted to find out whether or not she was real, then it would not be an easy matter.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhiling's attitude had softened, Qiu Shangjing's tone became much more gentle.

"Then what good idea do you have? Liu Yue is not someone that is easy to deal with, think it through with us first. " As she said this, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression became a bit ugly. To him, Liu Yue was like a hot potato.

Qiu Shangjing sighed, "This subject still needs to consider, but this subject has an idea, the Emperor can do this." Qiu Shangjing said, as he leaned close to Xuanyuan Zhiling's ear and whispered something.

As Xuanyuan Zhiling nodded, a smile quickly flashed past his face.

"Alright, I didn't expect you to have such a move. Even if you don't succeed, I still want to give it a try. Otherwise, wouldn't my harem be in chaos from now on?" When Xuanyuan Zhiling said till here, his expression suddenly became gloomy, but within that gloominess, there was also a trace of determination.

At this very moment, within the Blue Bird Hall, Qin Feng was seated at the side of the table, looking at Liu Yue who was sitting opposite to him.

"Why did Imperial Consort Li come to the Blue Bird Hall today?" Qin Feng's tone carried a tinge of coldness, but Qin Feng was already trying her best to remain calm.

Seeing Qin Feng's stiff face, a proud look flashed across Liu Yue's face.

"empress, please forgive me. Chenqie hasn't been feeling well all this time, I think empress knows that. Chenqie is already pregnant with the dragon seed, so it's not convenient for me to pay respects to you." Liu Yue's words were clearly said to provoke Qin Feng, and Qin Feng's face instantly stiffened.

Qin Feng nodded her head, but could not smile no matter what.

"Fine, then the Imperial Consort Li Empress can refuse to bow. Since the body of the Imperial Consort Li Empress is so inconvenient, why did she come all the way here to my bedchamber? What does it have to do with anything urgent?" Qin Feng coldly looked at Liu Yue, but her heart was bleeding. She had already felt that her position in the imperial harem was in imminent danger.

The faces of Qin Chen and Xiao Lian who were standing behind him did not look good either. The atmosphere of the entire hall was extremely strange, to the point that they couldn't help but shiver.

"Chenqie is here to notify empress. When empress found out that Chenqie was pregnant with the Emperor's Dragon Seed, she had never even asked Chenqie about it. If I didn't have empress's blessing, wouldn't I be too unlucky?"

When Liu Yue said this, his face was full of satisfaction. That look of contempt when she looked at Qin Feng instantly shattered her heart.

"Empress, please do not go overboard. Our empress did not punish you for your crimes because you were pregnant with the dragon's seed." Qin Chen finally could not hold it in and blurted out.
