Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At the same time, on the steps leading out of the Imperial Concubine Palace, a discussion broke out among the officials.
Ning Bianyi did not believe that Her Highness was just overworked.
He quickly walked down a few steps and caught up with his colleague in front. âLord Wu, you saw Imperial Physician MO leave the palace late at night. Do you know who he went to look for?â
âHow would I know!â The bearded Lord Wu glanced at him, his expression not looking too good. âEven if we know, we wonât dare to tell Lord Ning. Otherwise, if word gets out that I said it, I donât know how Iâll be punished!â
He was about to leave when Ning Bianyi grabbed his arm. âHey, donât be angry. I was just in a hurry and let my mouth slip. I wonât do it again!â
âOur goal is the same, which is to force that demoness to hand over her position. Those who achieve great things donât care about trifles. If Lord Wu knows something, donât hide it from us.â
Lord Wu flung his hand away. âI really donât know where Imperial Physician MO went!â
After saying that, he left in large strides.
Ning Bianyi stopped in his tracks and rubbed his chin.
He didnât look like he was lying. Could it be that the clues were cut off just like that?
He noticed Si Zhengliang passing by from the corner of his eye and started chatting with him again.
Si Zhengliang remained calm. âItâs not that I want to say this, but Lord Ningâs words were indeed too sharp. It doesnât matter what Consort Dowager thinks, but the royal familyâs reputation cannot be disregarded.â
Ning Bianyi looked anxious. âYour Excellency, you are wrong. How can I affect the royal familyâs reputation with a few words? Itâs the devil concubine!â
Si Zhengliang looked at him. Their official robes fluttered in the wind as they walked.
âYu meanâ¦â
Ning Bian glanced at the other officials around him and pulled him aside with a strange expression. âLord Si, think about it. What kind of illness could the late emperorâs concubine have that could scare Imperial Physician MO to such an extent? And looking at Her Highnessâ complexion, it was obvious that she was not incurable. Since it was not incurable, why did she faint for no reason? What was the answer? Does Lord Si think itâs not obvious enough?â
Si Zhengliangâs cloudy eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment, he suddenly opened them and glared at Ning Bianyi. âYou canât talk nonsense about this! If word got out, it would be a disgrace to the Great Shang!â
Ning Bianyi sneered. âHer Highness is still young, and she has a natural seductive appearance. I Imew this day would come!â
âWhen the emperor passed away, I suggested that the demon concubine be buried with him. If everyone had listened to me earlier, how could this happen?!â
âThe late Emperor passed away three years ago, and theConsort Dowager is pregnant.â He suddenly leaned closer to Si Zhengliang. âLord Si, who do you think is the father of the child? You have to know that all the men that are sent to the palace are infertileâ¦â
Si Zhengliangâs face was livid. All of this was simply unbearable to hear.
He didnât care who the father of the child was, but if it was true that the devil concubine was pregnant, he would kill her even if he had to give up his âpensionâ !
Over at the bedchamber, Imperial Physician MO had already left. When he returned, his legs were already weak.
su Jl sat sideways m tront or tne Dronze mirror witn a aazea expression.
She checked her pulse repeatedly just now.
The pregnancy was a month old.
The palace maid with a shy face pushed open the door and stepped through the threshold. Su Ji looked at her.
This was the palace maid who had just been transferred to her half a year ago. She had never seen her in her previous life.
After recognizing her face, Su Jiâs tone was not very surprised anymore. âAi
Meng.â
The palace maid paused, then shyly lowered her head and smiled. âReplying to
Consort Dowager, Her Highness has always called me Mengmeng.â
â .â Su Ji was silent for a few seconds. âYou have an older sister whose name is
Yan
The palace maid was stunned. âHow did Her Highness know? I entered the palace together with my sister, but unfortunately, she was assigned to the laundry bureau. â
Su Ji retracted her gaze.
Yesterday, she was still in the Z-Sea, looking at the magnificent 177-story building. In just one day, not only did she return here, but she was also told that she was pregnant.
Her hand subconsciously covered her lower abdomen.
Ai Meng noticed it. âIs Her Highnessâ stomach uncomfortable? Does Her
Highness want this servant to pass the message to theâ¦â
Su Ji withdrew her hand without batting an eyelid. âNo need.â
Judging from the expression on the little girlâs face, she probably didnât know that she was pregnant.
However, just because she didnât know, it didnât mean that others didnât know.
Ning Bianyiâs aggressive manner just now clearly showed that he was suspicious.
It was no wonder that when they saw that she had woken up, these old fellows all looked like they were holding back their sh*t in.
âIn the past monthâ¦â Su Ji looked at Ai Meng. âHave you ever seen a man close to me?â
When she asked this question, it was simply too much like she was trying to get information out of her.
Ai Meng was scared out of her wits.
âEver since this servant was assigned to Her Highness, Her Highness has been living in seclusion and abided by the palace rules. Her Highness has never been close to any man!â
âNot a single one?â Su Ji asked tentatively while observing her expression.
Ai Meng thought very seriously, âif I have to say itâ¦Consort Dowager has only spoken a few words to Musician Xiaoâ¦but he only said a few words!â
âWhat about the beauties?â
Ai Meng didnât know why she suddenly asked about this, so she told her everything she knew. Her Highness has been neglecting them for a long time. They came to Consort Dowager several times, but Consort Dowager refused them!â
Su Ji massaged her temples.
Thatâs right, the original owner had been in a relationship with Song Heng for two years in her previous life, but in the end, she didnât even hold his hand.
It seemed that this child was not caused by the original owner.
But since it wasnât the original ownerâs, then whoâ¦
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror. The body she had once had now looked very unfamiliar, as if it was no longer hers.
Be it that frail figure or the beaded hairpin dress that was completely different rrom ner prererence.
She wondered if original body would have the same feeling after she returned to the modern world and saw the body that she was in.
Between this place and the modern world, which would the original body prefer?
However, Su Ji quickly calmed down.
Now was not the time to think about this.
Su Ji wanted to know how many people knew about her pregnancy. Otherwise, before she could figure out everything and find a way to return to the modern world, her life would be in danger.
Moreover⦠even if her guess was not accurate, she had to protect this child no matter what.
Ning Bianyiâs words were annoying.
He said that the Imperial Physician had left the palace at this hour.
Leaving the palace in such a panic and only returning after a few hours must have something to do with her pregnancy.
Then would the person he met help her cover up? Or would he betray her?
After thinking about it, Su Ji decided to leave the palace first.. She wanted to see Bian Tong!
