    Chapter Index

    Lin Xiner was usually a steady woman in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, but why she said such frivolous and unreasonable words now attracted Xia Wanyuan’s attention.

    She was leaning against a row of shrubs as tall as a person, which had been trimmed into a natural barrier, blocking traffic between the two places. Although she could hear sounds, she could not see people clearly, and could only vaguely see a touch of red through the gaps.

    “That girl from Xiangming, when she was serving Ling Qiao’er, she was in a weird mood all day long. She wanted to kill her, but when she was given the medicine, she was too scared to dare.”

    Xia Wanan was shocked when she first heard this, but she felt relieved when she thought of Ling Qiaoer’s words just now. However, she didn’t expect that Lin Xiner also had a hand in it.

    “She is not afraid, she is very shrewd. If something happened to Concubine Qiao at that time, she would be the first to be suspected.” The voice was low, and after Xia Wanan listened for a few words, she recognized that it was the Queen Mother.

    “But, fortunately, my aunt has a way! Someone is watching her daily medicine from prescribing to boiling it, and even the dregs of the medicine are checked. Who would have expected that her aunt would actually tamper with the soup bowl containing the medicine.”

    “It’s a pity that no matter how well she did, mother and son were still safe, and neither of them died.” The Queen Mother sighed, “I knew I should have increased the dose of medicine, but I didn’t expect that she survived because of her youth. It would be fine if she was always weak like the Queen back then.”

    “The Queen…is indeed an aunt.”

    “It’s not just for you. If the queen gives birth to a legitimate son, what will happen to you? Although there are four princes in the harem now, they are all concubines, so there is nothing to be afraid of. So Xin’er, you have to get pregnant with a dragon fetus as soon as possible.”

    The Queen Mother’s appearance was completely beyond Xia Wanshen’s expectation, but how could she have expected that she would hear an even more shocking secret.

    Although the two of them stopped talking, she also heard that the death of the first queen was actually related to the queen mother.

    Xia Wanyuan was so frightened that she covered her mouth in fear, fearing that if her breathing was louder, she would be heard and silenced.

    She stood up quietly and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, they suddenly mentioned her, which made her put down her steps and continue to listen.

    “Concubine Qiao’s life is probably running out. It’s a good thing, Miss Xia, that you took action early. If she hadn’t deliberately avoided being favored, she would have been the second Ling Qiao’er!” the Queen Mother said again.

    “Yes, she made a special plan to cover up the loss of her virginity. I thought she was going to do something about it. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.”

    Lin Xiner sighed and said leisurely,

    “Sometimes I feel that she is really pitiful. She avoided my second brother’s favor. She probably thought that my second brother would be like her and only have her in his heart. He would never marry her. But she didn’t know that the second brother recently took the initiative to sign up for the selection of the prince-in-law. Dad originally recommended the eldest brother, but he didn’t expect that the second brother was also eager to try.”

    After a pause, Lin Xiner said again:

    “I really wonder if the second brother knew at that time that I wanted him to break Xia Wansheng’s body and deliberately used it to trick him. After all, if a woman like Xia Wansheng can be coaxed into giving her body and heart, what man wouldn’t want that…”

    Everything I overheard before was shocking, but it was just shocking.

    When Xia Wanyuan heard about Lin Muwan, she suddenly felt that her head exploded, and her eyes were filled with darkness, like falling into an abyss. She didn’t know how she left the imperial garden. When she came back to her senses, she was already lying in the room, with a cool cloth covering her forehead.

    Somehow, she developed a high fever.

    “The princess kept crying when she was unconscious. Did she dream about something?” Rufeng asked with concern.

    “Yes, yes…” Xia Wanyuan touched her cheek. Although there were no tears, there was still a wet and cool feeling.

    Although her body was fine, Xia Wanyuan was in a trance all day long, just like Ling Qiaoer at that time. She didn’t get out of that mood for several days. Rufeng didn’t know what was going on and couldn’t persuade her, so she was so anxious.

    Just when Rufeng felt that Xia Wansheng’s soul was about to leave her body, the news of Ling Qiaoer’s death suddenly came.

    Hearing the bad news, Xia Wanyuan was stunned for a long time, and finally burst into tears. She cried so sadly, with tears streaming down her face, completely losing her reserve, just like a child.

    Emperor Ming buried Ling Qiaoer with the funeral rites of a noble concubine.

    A few days later, on the 15th, the concubines went to pay their respects to the Queen Mother as usual. They were in groups, with beaming faces. It seemed that no one was sad because of Ling Qiaoer’s death.

    There were only two inconspicuous low-ranking concubines in the corner, with sad faces on their faces.

    The concubines were talking a lot about the little prince left by Ling Qiaoer.The prince is usually raised by his biological mother. If his biological mother dies, he will be raised by another concubine who is higher than the concubine.

    Nowadays, except for the two noble concubines, the three concubines and the five concubines in the palace have not given birth to a prince, but the benefits of this prince are also known to everyone, and everyone is arguing about it endlessly.But in the end, the Queen Mother didn’t decide anything. She only said that the emperor had to make a decision on this matter.

    Xia Wanyuan silently walked out of Chaoyang Palace, only to see the two sad-looking women hiding in the corner and crying secretly.

    In the past, she would have stepped forward to ask enthusiastically, but at this time, she just asked Rufeng beside her who they were.

    “Those two are noble girls sent by the Chu Kingdom. They are not princesses, nor are they amazingly talented. They are just talented people.”

    As soon as Rufeng finished speaking, the two women felt sorry for themselves and started talking to each other: “It would be great if we were as pampered as Concubine Qiao, so that we could make the emperor change his mind and stop sending troops to Chu.”

    Xia Wanan’s expressive face suddenly frowned. She looked at the two girls for a long time and slowly walked towards the Jixiang Palace.

    “Rufeng, I want to raise Qing’er.” She finally spoke as she approached the palace gate.

    “To adopt a prince, you need to be a concubine or above and have your own palace. The princess’s current status may not be enough.”

    “I know!” Xia Wanan raised her head and looked at Rufeng with a charming smile, “So I hope you can help me!”

    “Princess, you…” Rufeng’s eyes suddenly lit up.
