Chapter 172: Concubine Yi discovers Su Lian's secret; Concubine Jin tells Concubine Shu the tru

"The maids assigned to Xianfu Palace came to report that they were going to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. Most likely, they were going to file a complaint."

"Especially that Concubine Mei, she is now a favorite of the Empress Dowager."

Su Lian nodded: "The Queen Mother was angry with the Empress Dowager because of Hengchui's matter. I'm afraid she also regrets choosing the daughter of the Fucha family."

"But there will be no benefit if we go against the Queen Mother," said Concubine Yi.

Su Lian: "The Queen Mother likes children, so you should go and fulfill your filial duties on behalf of the Emperor."

Yipin's expression was somewhat solemn. "The Queen Mother has always disliked the Jin family, and she looked down on the Yu family even more. Even the position of the head of a palace is very humble in this imperial palace."

She naturally knew that her identity as a member of the Yu family made her walk on thin ice in the harem, so when Su Lian proposed an alliance, she agreed without hesitation.

In fact, she had no intention of forming an alliance with anyone at the beginning. It was just that Su Lian brought the recipe for assisting pregnancy, and she successfully gave birth to Yongxuan.

This gave her, a foreign woman, a little warmth in this cold palace.

"How do you plan to deal with Zhao Yita?" Concubine Yi suddenly asked.

Su Lian paused holding the teacup, a flash of panic in her eyes, but she adjusted herself in an instant and asked, "What happened to Zhao Yitai?"

Concubine Yi curled her lips and said, "You are asking even though you already know the answer. Look at the way he looks at you. I think any normal person can see that he has feelings for you."

"It's better for me to tell you here now than for you to be discovered and reported to the emperor."

Su Lian tried her best to remain calm so as not to let her see her flaws.

"You misunderstood. We are old acquaintances. We used to serve together in Changchun Palace."

Concubine Yi looked at her seriously, and indeed did not see a trace of panic in her eyes or expression.

"We are all women. It's okay if you don't want to admit it, but I remind you to cover it up well, otherwise he will become your death warrant."

In Anhua Hall, Concubine Shu came to pray with her handwritten scriptures.

Coincidentally, Concubine Jin was also there.

Shupin knelt down with her hands clasped together, not wanting to have any contact with her.

Jin Guiren asked, "Why did Concubine Shu come to Anhua Palace?"

Shupin didn't answer.

Noble Lady Jin chuckled softly, "I've just been kneeling here for too long and I don't think praying to the gods is very effective."

Concubine Shu: "Noble Lady Jin, please be careful with your words. The gods and Buddhas in this palace are watching."

Concubine Jin sighed, not caring at all. She said, "You are so naive. Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. How can you endure the loneliness?"

"Without fighting or competing, I was able to gain the emperor's favor."

Shupin remained silent.

She continued to talk to herself, "You know, our emperor is very thoughtful and can make you willingly do anything for him, including harming others."

Shupin didn't want to listen to her anymore and wanted to get up and leave.

Jin Guiren suddenly turned around and grabbed her wrist, her eyes red. "Do you know what's added to the pregnancy medicine you drink every day?"

Shupin: "What did you say?"

"Our emperor is truly too clever. She is clearly wary of the Yehenara clan, yet she still accepts their gifts."

Shupin suddenly remembered what Ruyi had said to her.

"How...how did you know?"

Concubine Jin let go of her and said with a wry smile, "Haha, how should I know? Of course I know. I thought the emperor doted on you and gave you a pregnancy-enhancing medicine, so I had someone steal the dregs of the medicine to mix with the drink. But it turned out that after drinking bowl after bowl of medicine, there was no movement in my stomach at all.

Later I asked someone to check it out, and to my surprise, the abortion-preserving medicine contained a cold medicine that could prevent women from getting pregnant."
