That day, after all the people in the harem knew she was pregnant, each of the concubines came to Ganquan Palace to visit her, but were all blocked by her sister.

  Later, with her sister's help and Chu Yixuan's orders, no one came to disturb her, so she was able to rest assuredly in Ganquan Palace for her pregnancy.

  Unconsciously, another month has passed, and her belly has slowly grown bigger.

  Empress Yan would occasionally send some nourishing food over, and Chu Xian also came by from time to time. However, he never stayed overnight in her palace. Each time, he would hastily arrive and then hastily leave, as if he was very busy.

  Yan Xijun didn't mind either, what she cared about most now was whether the child in her belly could be born safely.

  What she is thinking now is not just a worry, in the depths of the imperial palace, there are already people plotting this matter.

  Forbidden City

  Gu Qingyu gazed at the two people who suddenly came to visit her, Zhou Yihuan and Jia Lixian, the newly appointed Shu Nu.

  Jia Lian had met her before and knew she was the niece of the Lady of Chu, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to receive them.

  "Speak up, what brings you two here?" Gu Qing asked bluntly, giving them no face.

  "Sister, we've come here to discuss something with you!" Jiarenyan said intimately, at this time she couldn't care about other politeness anymore, if that matter wasn't resolved, it's feared there would be no chance of turning things around forever.

  "What can you discuss with me?" Gu Qing asked skeptically, as she was not familiar with them and had nothing to say.

  Zhou Yi Huan secretly took a glance at her and then said: "Sister, you should also know about the most popular thing in the harem recently!"

  "What's the difference between knowing and not knowing?"

  Look at her speaking so calmly, Jia Lian quickly said: "Doesn't sister feel jealous about this matter?"

  "What's wrong? Are you jealous?" asked Gu Qingrou, raising an eyebrow with great interest.

  It's no wonder that on the same day they entered the palace, Xiu Nu was promoted to the position of De Fei, while their status in the palace remained so low.

  "Can't you see through her? With that fox-like appearance, she's managed to bewitch the Emperor to this extent. In my opinion, it's probably that Empress who's behind all this. If not..."

  Zhou Yi was delighted to see Gu Qing Rou, who listened with a careless expression on her face, revealing a mocking smile. Seeing Jia Li Fen getting more and more confused in her speech, she quickly pulled at her sleeve, signaling her to stop talking, so as not to give others something to laugh about.

  "In the palace, in terms of seniority and beauty, don't you think that the title of De Fei should be yours?" Zhou Yi Huan waved her handkerchief and flattered Gu Qing Rou.

  Gu Qingyu also didn't fall for her trick, and smiled lightly: "Zhou sister is also too full of herself, this harem is still under the emperor's control, he wants to promote whoever he pleases, it's not up to us to decide."

  "Can't sister just give up? Why not go tell the emperor?" Jiā Lìxiān, with a foolish heart, said excitedly. Anyway, no matter what, she couldn't stand seeing Yuán Xījūn being favored, now still the high and mighty Dé Fēi, and also pregnant with the dragon's child.

  "What's there to be dissatisfied with? Sister, staying in the palace for a few more days, based on your experience as an outsider, you can either accept it or not, but just live your life peacefully!" Gu Qingyue couldn't guess what they were thinking, they were vying with each other for the emperor's favor, but she didn't have any feelings for the emperor, whoever he wanted to promote would be promoted, and it had nothing to do with her.

  Her heart had only one master. As soon as she thought of her master, she felt that he hadn't entered the palace for a long time. How was his body? How was the preparation of the revenge plan going?

  Gu Qing's heart was preoccupied with her master, and various genuine expressions flowed out on her face without her realizing it.

  Jia Lian and Zhou Yi Huan exchanged a helpless glance, both of them were worried, they hadn't forgotten the purpose of coming here, which was to win over Gu Qing Rou and unite their forces to deal with Yan Xi Jun.

  Seeing her face suddenly appear with various inexplicable expressions, Zhou Yi Huan's heart moved, and he said to her: "Sister, can we make a deal?"

  Anyway, it's come to this point, why not take a risk and try. Don't look at Zhou Yi Huan's gentle appearance, her mind is full of evil intentions, and the heart hidden inside is very ruthless. From the fact that she can tame the arrogant and wild Jia Li Fen, it can be inferred that she is not a simple person.

  "A deal?" Gu Qingyu couldn't help but take a few more glances at Zhou Yihuan, a hint of playful smile flashing across her face. A merchant's daughter also wants to play a trade with me? Not simple, huh.

  "Just talk and see." Anyway, I'm bored too, so just listen, anyway, it won't hurt.

  "Give us some time and we can help sister ascend to the position of Empress Dowager."

  "Oh~." Gu Qingyu deliberately dragged out the ending and said: "If there's such a good thing, then what do you want me to do?"

  On the surface, she seemed very interested, but in her heart, she couldn't help humming that they had miscalculated. She didn't care about the rank of the imperial concubine at all; what she cared about was when she could get the map and then report back to her master.

  "Sister, can you think of a way for us to prevent Yan Xi Jun from giving birth to this imperial son?" asked Jia Li Xian bluntly, revealing their true intention.

  Zhou Yi Huan wanted to stop but it was too late, although she hated Jia Li Xian's foolishness and directness in her heart, she had already spoken out, so she could only shift her gaze towards Gu Qing Rou.

  It's better to be straightforward and avoid beating around the bush.

  "Haha," Gu Qing laughed loudly and without restraint, it turned out they were thinking of this, what a pity, she was not interested in these petty squabbles.

  "You overestimate me." Gu Qingyu barely stopped laughing, suddenly turned serious and bluntly ordered, "Leave now, Fuqing Palace no longer welcomes you."

  Jia Lian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Zhou Yi Huan. The two of them didn't even exchange greetings and left directly.

  Gu Qing's eyes narrowed as she watched their backs, thinking to herself, "What a vicious person, not only do they want to harm that young prince, but also want to drag her down with them."

  What a pity! If she also liked that dog emperor, who knows, she might have done the same and accepted their idea.

  This was just Gu Qingyue's idea at the time, but this idea had only been around for a few days when it changed. What others wanted was the life of that little prince, while what she wanted was Yan Xijun's life.

  As they walked on the road, Jia Lian couldn't help but indignantly say: "Who does she think she is? We humbly asked her and not only did she refuse, but also chased us away. Isn't this bullying others too much?"

  "Speak softly, it's not good if others hear." Zhou Yihuan looked around cautiously.

  "What's there to be afraid of!" Jia Lixiang yelled in her usual loud voice, "What do you think we should do?"

  Zhou Yi was fiddling with the silk handkerchief in her hand without making a sound, but in her heart, she was calculating what to do next.

  She also regretted a bit, how could she be with such a stupid woman like Jia Lifen, and would this lead to trouble?

  Suddenly, a plan flashed through his mind. Zhou Yihuan leaned over and whispered a few words in Jia Lifen's ear, then heard her ask: "Will this method work?"

  "How would you know if you don't try?" Zhou Yi Huan mysteriously smiled, a big sly smile appearing on his face.
