PDLP Chapter 129: Your Majesty, have mercy on me
Chapter 129: Your Majesty, have mercy on me
Qin Feiling looked at Concubine Rou and warned her in a low voice to behave herself... How could Concubine Rou not understand what His Majesty meant? She responded obediently with red eyes.
Send Qin Feiling away.
Concubine Rou suppressed the grievances in her heart and went to pay her respects to the queen respectfully.
Zhou Shiya asked her how her experience was in the emperor's bedchamber, but she did not reveal any truth, only saying that His Majesty was very gentle and caring towards her.
If all the concubines in the harem knew that she did not sleep with the emperor and was instead disliked by him, who knows how they would laugh at her.
Zhou Shiya looked at Concubine Rou's haggard face with suspicion in her eyes.
She didn't ask any more questions and just told Concubine Rou to strike while the iron was hot.
"Now that His Majesty is tired of Concubine Yu, you must seize the opportunity to capture His Majesty and conceive a royal heir. This is what matters."
Concubine Rou had a lot of grievances in her heart. She also wanted to conceive an heir to the throne and have a prince by her side.
But His Majesty doesn't even touch her now.
How could she get pregnant?
Roupin's successful emperor service gave others some hope.
Yu Changzai, who had never served in the emperor's bed, felt that her chance had finally come.
She stayed up all night and practiced her piano skills diligently, just to get Qin Feiling to look at her more.
Concubine Liu was demoted to a concubine and was confined to her house for half a year. She lived close to Concubine Yu and could even hear her practicing the piano in the middle of the night. She gritted her teeth in anger, her eyes full of mockery and sarcasm.
"How can she not realize how terrible her playing is? She really doesn't know what she's capable of. Even though there are fewer concubines in the harem now, His Majesty, no matter what, wouldn't fall for a mediocre woman like her, right?"
"She's not very pretty, and her piano playing is terrible. It's strange that His Majesty would like her."
Unfortunately, her current position is not as high as Yu Changzai's, otherwise she would definitely send someone to give Yu Changzai a lesson.
She was now just a low-ranking assistant, even under Yu Changzai. She could do nothing but endure the extremely unpleasant noise.
She drank a bowl of pregnancy medicine and wiped the medicine from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. "Cui Rong, why do I feel a slight pain in my stomach these past few days? Are you sure this pregnancy medicine is working?"
Cui Rong repeatedly assured her, "My lady, rest assured. This pregnancy-maintaining medicine is absolutely fine. I spent ten taels of silver to secretly bribe the palace maid in charge of preparing the medicine at Yuanchen Palace, and bought the recipe from her. Your Highness drinks this pregnancy-maintaining medicine every day... The heir in your womb is now very healthy... This pregnancy-maintaining medicine was personally prescribed by the head of the Imperial Hospital, and I guarantee it will be very effective."
Liu agreed and touched his bulging belly.
She was filled with resentment whenever she thought of Zhou Lingge.
"I was demoted from concubine to concubine... every time because of Imperial Concubine Yu. She, on the other hand, rose through the ranks in just over a month, even becoming Imperial Concubine thanks to her child. Poor me... now I'm being slandered, only a concubine... and I'm under house arrest here, unable to see the Emperor for six months. I wonder if the Emperor will forget me."
"Now, even to take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, I have to drink it secretly according to the prescription prescribed by Concubine Yu. This young lady feels so frustrated. Cuirong... Concubine Yu is the evil star of this young lady. It's all her fault that I've fallen into this situation."
How could she not hate and blame?
Fortunately, Concubine Yu has fallen out of favor now. She wants to see how long she can be arrogant.
Cui Rong quickly soothed her softly, "My lady, don't be angry. Wait until you give birth to a prince safely and give His Majesty a prince. Then you will be honored as a mother because of your son."
"Forget about the position of concubine, even the position of consort can be achieved. The most important thing now is to take good care of the pregnancy and give birth to the emperor's eldest son smoothly."
Liu Da Ying felt that what Cui Rong said made sense, and she wiped away her tears immediately.
"Yes, the most important thing now is to give birth to this child safely. Being grounded for half a year is not without its benefits. At least I won't be implicated and involved in the disputes of these bitches."
"Just wait. When I give birth to the emperor's eldest son, I will make sure that all those who bully me will go to hell."
She has an account book in her heart, and she remembers clearly every person who looked down on her and took advantage of her.
Concubine Yu was her number one enemy.
That evening, Ye Wanxi sent someone to deliver the medicinal food she made herself to the imperial study.
Qin Feiling accepted everything that came to him.
He was like an emotionless machine, like a walking corpse, lingering around the six palaces.
He went to Yihua Palace that night.
Ye Wanxi was wearing a gauze dress, with affectionate eyes, kneeling in front of him tenderly.
"Your Majesty... I have not yet served you in the palace since I entered it. When the Empress Dowager asked me about this today, I didn't know how to answer. This is the first time the Empress Dowager has given me the cold shoulder. It's useless to scold me..."
As she spoke, her shoulders shook and she slowly began to sob.
Her eyes were like sparkling gems, gleaming with tears. Tears streamed down her snow-white cheeks, round and bright like pearls. Her lips trembled slightly, and she let out a soft whimper, stirring pity.
If it were any other man, he would have felt pity for her and reached out to touch her face and wipe away the tears from her eyes.
The sight of a beautiful woman shedding tears is poetic and picturesque, so heartbreaking.
Unfortunately, Qin Feiling still didn't feel anything.
He just stared numbly at the corners of Ye Wanxi's eyes, watching the crystal tears slipping down.
He hadn't seen Zhou Lingge for five days.
Including the five or six days of cold war before, the time that the rift between them lasted was already ten days.
Ten days... in the harem is enough to turn everything upside down.
His imperial dignity did not allow him the courage to lower himself and bow to Zhou Lingge.
Ye Wanxi waited for a long time, but there was no response from Qin Feiling.
She had no choice but to take the initiative and grabbed Qin Feiling's hand with her slender hand.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with crystal tears, and she looked up pitifully, begging for his mercy and love.
"I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me and give me some respect."
She has been in the palace for so long, but has not yet served the emperor in bed. Who knows how those concubines are laughing at her in private.
She was really losing her balance.
Qin Feiling frowned, he stood up suddenly and pushed Ye Wanxi away.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have government affairs to attend to. Concubine Wan, you should go to sleep first..."
He immediately turned and left without giving Ye Wanxi any chance to react.
Ye Wanxi was pushed to the ground. She looked at Qin Feiling in disbelief as he left without looking back.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was filled with resentment: "I begged him so much, how could he be so cruel and push me away like this?"
The personal maid, Fu'er, hurried over and carefully helped Ye Wanxi up: "Your Majesty, perhaps His Majesty really has something to do."
