Chapter 159 - Imperial Consort Leng's Conspiracy

Concubine Qin walked over to Imperial Consort Leng and whispered a few words into her ear.

A smile gradually appeared on Imperial Consort Leng's face as she said: "I didn't misjudge Little Sister Qin, that's a really good idea."

"Thank you, the Empress." Concubine Qin's face revealed a smile.

Ever since Qin Luofei moved back to the original palace, her life had become increasingly smooth. After Emperor Ming successfully ascended the throne, she only sealed her courtyard and didn't allow anyone else to go in or out, which also saved her a lot of trouble.

Her stomach was also getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, she already had a suitable maid in her palace to deliver the baby, so she didn't have to bother looking for a midwife.

Daisy is cooking rice porridge and soup on the stove. I hear pregnant women eat these things to make up for it.

"Miss, quickly drink this bird's nest porridge."

Daihua carried the rice porridge in and hurriedly advised when she found that the young lady had yet to drink the bird's nest porridge that she had just cooked.

Since these palace maids could not go in and out, they put all their effort into taking care of her. Sometimes it was rice porridge, other times it was a swallow's nest. When she saw these things, she wanted to vomit.

"Daihua, Miss, if I drink any more, I'll really become a pig."

Miss Duskgold's face and body had become much more robust than before.

In order to maintain their shape, the emperors of the palace did not dare to act in such a manner, lest the emperor despise them.

Even if she ate a little fatter, it wouldn't matter anymore. Fortunately the young miss was pregnant with a dragon descendant, the Emperor Ming wouldn't do anything to her.

"Miss, are we going to live like this for the rest of our lives?" The days of being imprisoned were boring. At first, it was fine, but in the end, it became even more boring.

Qin Luofei let out a faint sigh and didn't say anything. After a long while, she said, "Send someone to get Big Sister Consort Shu to come over. I believe that the emperor won't make things difficult for you."

Daihua nodded.

"If you can't, let the people outside send a message to big sister Consort Shu. She will have her ways." Qin Luofei said again.

Her stomach was getting bigger and bigger, and her movements were getting more and more inconvenient, but the uneasiness in her heart was getting heavier and heavier. Only Consort Shu could rely on her in the palace now.

On the other hand, the Emperor Ming only wanted her to survive. Even if someone were to lay a hand on her, the Emperor Ming would ignore them, how could she let him do as he pleased?

The palace became more and more lively. The news that came from the imperial study was that the Emperor wanted to select a talent to fill up the imperial harem.

When the officials' families outside the palace heard this, they couldn't help but be extremely busy. Those with daughters couldn't wait to send them to the palace, but those without daughters had to produce a daughter at least as soon as they could think of a way.

Time was running out.

After a few more days, Qin Luofei had already reached the due date, and waves of pain hit her.

A lot of things had happened in the past few days. First, the things thrown into the yard had been found to be poisonous, and then there were suddenly a lot of centipedes in the yard. They crawled in along the walls, causing the palace people to be scared out of their wits.

Qin Luofei stayed indoors and did not go out. Ordinary palace maids would not be able to see her, and only Daihua waited on her.

"Miss, how are you?" Xi Ju spun around anxiously, not knowing if the Consort Shu had received any news yet. If she didn't come soon, what would she do? She was a girl after all, and had no experience in childbirth.

Qin Luofei said in a deep voice, "You stay by my side and guard me. Don't go anywhere, do you understand? You must take a good look at the water they bring, and don't let any of it slip through your fingers. "

Daffodil Daydream nodded her head. She saw that Qin Luofei was shouting, but she couldn't help her at all.

"concubine, do you need this old servant to help you? This old servant has some experience." There were some people from the palace who were outside the room listening to Qin Luofei's shouts.

Qin Luofei waved her hand without reason and said, "Hurry up and send them away, don't let them in. I ordered you to sprinkle the medicinal powder all over them."

"All set, miss." Daisies nodded.

Big Sister Consort Shu will definitely come back. Even if the news hasn't arrived, she will still come back, so just stay by my side and don't worry about anything else. "

Daisies nodded.

Time seemed to burn even more. Every time Daihua heard the Miss's cries, she would break out in a cold sweat.

Every minute and every second, Daihua was like an ant on a hot pan.

Qin Luofei gradually fell into a comatose state, occasionally letting out miserable cries.

"Daihua, big sister Consort Shu hasn't come yet? I feel like I'm going to have a baby. "

As she listened to her, she didn't know what to do. Right at this moment, a commotion sounded out from the courtyard. Not long after, there was a knock on the door, "The Consort Shu's Empress has arrived."

Just as she wanted to open the door, she was stopped by Qin Luofei: "No, you have to pay your respects to Big Sister Consort Shu first, and when you hear Big Sister Consort Shu's voice, you can open the door."

Dusk Ju was surprised and nodded his head.

"Sister, how are you?" Consort Shu's face was covered in sweat as she walked. Seeing that the door had not been opened for a long time, she knew that Qin Luofei was a cautious person and that the people in the courtyard were not to be trusted.

When Qin Luofei heard the Consort Shu's voice, she was overjoyed and said: "Big Sis Consort Shu, Xianzi, hurry up and invite Big Sis Consort Shu in."

However, Qin Luofei could no longer hold on, and she was a bit unconscious.

Consort Shu entered the house. Seeing Qin Luofei's state, she immediately ordered people to boil some water, all of which were her trusted aides she had brought along with him. The others did not use any of them, and she also had Xishi to stand guard to prevent anything from happening.

Only with Consort Shu around did Dazzling Spring have a backbone.

Consort Shu brought a total of two midwives, both of whom were used when she was giving birth. She did not send them away, but instead, kept them by her side.

Imperial Consort Leng was also restless in the palace. She never thought that even after using so many schemes, she still couldn't get rid of this child.

"Sister Leng, why are you in such a hurry? Even if she is able to give birth, it doesn't guarantee that nothing will happen to her in the future. Do you think Sister Leng would do that?" Concubine Qin laughed at the side.

Imperial Consort Leng looked at Concubine Qin and felt that she was right. Even if she was born, who could guarantee that nothing would happen in the future?

"Sister, you're right. It's been so long. It is just that I did not expect that Consort Shu and Concubine Qin would actually be together, and this has truly opened my eyes. "

Concubine Qin agreed by the side, "Big Sis said that with Consort Shu's personality, you would actually be close to Concubine Qin. However, has the Empress ever heard of that empress in the cold palace who sent this young eunuch to request the presence of the emperor? "

"I've already heard about it. To think that even after entering the Cold Palace, I'm still restless. I'm still thinking about the Emperor. The Du Family is really thick-skinned. " Imperial Consort Leng shouted in anger.

In the past, this empress dowager wouldn't dare to touch Du Qingcheng, but now that the empress dowager could no longer protect herself, did she think that she wouldn't dare to?

"We're already in the cold palace. There's no point in living, but our empress is still living a lively life. It's really shameless even for our little sister." Concubine Qin had been attached to Du Qingcheng before, but now she was adding insult to injury.

Imperial Consort Leng sneered, and said: "Isn't her good days over?!"

Concubine Qin nodded in approval.

At night, news spread from the Cold Palace that the empress had eaten something wrong and was in mortal danger. The empress dowager begged the emperor to send a doctor to treat her.

Imperial Consort Leng never thought that the Emperor would actually have a trace of pity for Du Qingcheng.

Emperor Ming, who hadn't been in the harem for a long time, flipped open the name plate of the Imperial Consort Leng and personally brought this close young eunuch over.

Jin Se Palace was in a mess. At that time, he had already laid down with his clothes spread wide open, and had to get up again. Just as he was about to dress up, Emperor Ming had already entered the house.

"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty." Imperial Consort Leng looked up, her charming face became even more beautiful under the light of the lamp.

Emperor Ming's heart skipped a beat, he pulled Imperial Consort Leng up from the ground and hugged him. He whispered: "Love Consort, have you missed me?"

"Chenqie naturally wishes for the Emperor. But chenqie knows that the Emperor's affairs are very busy, and chenqie can't disturb the Emperor." There were some hidden bitterness in Imperial Consort Leng's words, but it only made the Emperor Ming feel more pity for him.

The other palace maids and eunuchs all left, leaving behind only two people.

Emperor Ming helped Imperial Consort Leng to sit down at the bed's seat, then he said: "Wait till we are busy, we can go to the other palace for a few months."

In the past, Emperor Ming had always brought concubines to other palaces to cool off, but this year, it was much too late.

Imperial Consort Leng reached out her hand to pinch Emperor Ming's shoulder, and said in a tender voice: "Then take which concubine you want to take."

"Bring them all!" There are not many of them. " Emperor Ming thought for a while and continued, "Concubine Qin will also bring it."

When the Imperial Consort Leng heard the Emperor Ming mention the Concubine Qin, her expression became somewhat ugly, but she stayed still, knowing that she had to be careful in everything she did.

"Imperial Consort, in the future … Concubine Qin is not a place where you need to worry about. No matter what, she is still someone who will bear children for us. " Emperor Ming raised his head and looked at Imperial Consort Leng, causing his heart to turn cold.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. Chenqie will definitely take good care of Little Sister Qin."

Emperor Ming nodded his head, then after making a few more cups of tea, he stood up and said: "It's getting late, I'll be leaving, I'll come visit you another day."

"Your majesty." Imperial Consort Leng secretly lamented that this child had come at the wrong time. It was not easy to get back from the Emperor Ming, and before he could even sleep in, he was already pregnant.

The Emperor Ming did not speak any further, and directly left for the palace in the Concubine Qin.

Concubine Qin had long since heard from the people at the palace that Emperor Ming was going to Imperial Consort Leng's place.

When she was about to go to bed, Emperor Ming had already brought some people over. He did not hide anything from her and directly hugged her as he entered the Warm Pavilion.

Concubine Qin didn't know what the other concubine s looked like when she slept, but when she was sleeping, Emperor Ming rarely talked to her. Even when he was doing that, his eyes were still closed, causing her to feel uneasy.

Everyone in the palace said that the Emperor doted on her, but she always felt that it was not reliable enough.

While the two of them were in the midst of the storm, a young eunuch knocked on the window.

"But the Concubine Qin is born." The Emperor Ming asked indifferently.

The eunuch outside hurried to report, "Reporting to the emperor, there's a princess."
