Quick Wear: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 227 The storm is rising

The emperor's words cannot be fully trusted, Xianxian understands this very well.

Because of the grief of losing her son, the imperial physician specifically advised Concubine Li to observe a double confinement period.

Xianxian was confirmed to be two months pregnant. As she was unable to sleep with the emperor due to her pregnancy, the women in the palace began to look forward to it.

Unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed.

Chang Liu said that he has not yet recovered from the grief of losing two sons in a row.

He has absolutely no desire to flip the cards now.

Today is the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and it is the day to pay respects to the Queen.

Xianxian's belly was slightly bulging, and in order to make herself comfortable, she changed into loose clothes.

Concubine Li had already finished her confinement and also came to pay her respects to Queen Wang.

She looked pale and absent-minded the whole time.

There is no longer the brightness and domineeringness of the past.

When Queen Wang saw Concubine Li like this, her heart was filled with joy.

But she pretended to be particularly concerned on the surface.

"Sister Lipin is still young, and she is raising the eldest princess."

"That's your Majesty's eldest daughter. Even if the eldest and youngest princes are gone, Sister Lipin still has someone to rely on."

She is really bringing up something that is not relevant. Queen Wang appears to be concerned about Concubine Li.

In fact, it is just false compassion.

I'm afraid that among all the people present, only Queen Wang was the happiest.

Concubine Li turned her head and stared at the queen expressionlessly.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but that smile looked a little creepy.

Because the smile does not reach the eyes, it is just a superficial smile.

"What the Queen said is correct. I do have a princess. Unlike the Queen, I don't have a child and am free."

You mock me for losing two sons and being left with only a worthless princess.

Then I will mock you for not even having a princess.

Unexpectedly, even after losing the support of the eldest prince, Concubine Li was still as eloquent as ever.

There was a hint of anger in Queen Wang's eyes, but she still maintained her dignity and snorted.

"My sister's body has really recovered. Her words are as fluent as before."

"But sister, don't forget that you are no longer a noble concubine, but only Lipin, without a title, and you have to be below Yipin."

"Considering that Sister Li Concubine has lost two sons in a row, I, as the head of the palace, am unwilling to argue with you."

Concubine Li knew how to stop while she was ahead. She had already hit the Queen's sore spot, so there was no need to continue arguing with her.

She just sneered and turned away.

Concubine Li wanted to quit while she was ahead, but Queen Wang didn't want to let her go easily.

You have to know that Queen Wang has countless ways to make Concubine Li feel painful and uncomfortable.

At this time, Queen Wang looked at Xianxian beside her, her eyes fell on her slightly bulging belly.

Queen Wang said in a concerned tone, "Princess Yi, your belly has grown a bit, so you should be more careful when you go out on weekdays."

"Bring a few more palace maids and eunuchs with you. If there is anything, just send someone to find me."

After all, they are all old people who came from the palace.

Queen Wang was aware of Concubine Li's infatuation with Chang Liu.

Concubine Li lost two princes herself, and seeing Xianxian becoming favored and pregnant, she must have felt so painful.

Xianxian was inexplicably called out, and she just responded with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I will keep it in mind."

She was keenly aware of Li Bin's jealous look.

The other party wanted to skin him alive and pull out his tendons.

Queen Wang looked at Concubine Zheng and Concubine Liu again.

"The princes in the palace are precious now. Your second and fourth princes must be taken good care of. Do you understand?"

"Don't make any mistakes."

"I understand."

"Concubine understands."

There is no mention of Concubine Li in every sentence, but Concubine Li is present in every sentence.

Queen Wang was really hitting Concubine Li where it hurts.

After paying their respects, Xianxian relaxed in the Imperial Garden. It had been snowing from time to time recently, but there was still warm sunshine during the day.

An area was cleared near Taiyuan Lake to allow the owners to feed the koi fish during the winter.

Xianxian was in a good mood, so she immediately sent someone to get fish food to feed the koi.

"My queen, the roads are slippery in the snow. Let's go back to the palace early."

But Xianxian looked at the koi in the lake, shook her head with a faint smile on her face.

"Let me play for a while. The palace servants have cleaned up here. Don't worry too much."

Bodhi looked at the Taiyuan Lake in front of him and shuddered for some reason.

She thought of Zhou and the eldest prince who had drowned.

"My queen, do you think Zhou is really crazy? If the eldest prince dies, wouldn't that be fulfilling other people's wishes?"

It has been two months since this happened, but there are still some groundless rumors in the palace.

Some people say that the death of the eldest prince was actually a plot by Concubine Zheng in order to clear obstacles for the second prince.

Xianxian sighed softly, "Who knows the truth behind this?"

"I have seen the eldest prince before. He is a very smart and strong child, unlike the second prince who is weak. What a pity."

Bodhi bit his lower lip and looked around to make sure there was no one around.

She then asked with curiosity.

"My lady, I heard that the last person Zhou saw before she ran away from the cold palace was Concubine Zheng. Could it be that Concubine Zheng is among them..."

"Shut up."

Xianxian scolded sternly, "Do you know that plotting against the master behind his back is the biggest taboo in the palace? If that happens, even I won't be able to protect you."

"Even if Zhou has met Concubine Zheng, it has nothing to do with us."

"Forget it. I am tired. Let's go back to the palace."

Perhaps because Bodhi disturbed her interest, Xianxian turned around and went back to the palace with an unhappy look on her face.

After Xianxian took her people away, Concubine Li slowly walked out from the darkness.

There was resentment in her eyes as she stared at the lake.

Concubine Zheng...

On the way back to Guanju Palace, Bodhi fell behind by one step and caught up.

She said excitedly, "Your Majesty is really very predictable. Li Concubine happened to pass by and heard everything."

“Some things are true or false, but they can come true if you put your mind to it.”

After coming out of Kunning Palace, Xianxian insisted on taking Bodhi to feed the koi.

She just wanted to pass some message to Concubine Li.

The eldest prince died, and the biggest beneficiary in the palace was Concubine Zheng, who raised the second prince.

It’s like the third prince died, and the biggest beneficiaries are the eldest prince and the second prince.

Since the legitimate prince is gone, according to the rule of appointing the eldest son as the heir, it is now the eldest prince's turn.

But since the eldest prince is gone, then Concubine Zheng’s second prince is the eldest.

If Concubine Li discovered at this moment that the last person Zhou saw in her life was Concubine Zheng.

Presumably, all her resentment that has nowhere to vent will be poured onto Concubine Zheng.

Concubine Li knew very well that it was she who had forced Zhou into such a desperate situation.

But she was unwilling to admit that she was the one who indirectly killed the eldest prince.

At this time, she urgently needed an outlet.

Queen Wang has put so much effort into setting up this scheme, why don't I give her a hand?

"Bodhi, go back and inform Fu Liu. You can hand the evidence to Wen Changwan bit by bit. It all depends on what she chooses next."

In the plot, Wen Changwan overthrew the queen, and that was a fatal blow.

It is not convenient for Xianxian to come forward directly, so naturally she needs to guide Wen Changwanwan to use her abilities.

Don't rush, take your time.
