Concubine in power

Ever since Lu Zhiqing returned to the prime minister's mansion that day and was drugged by Lin Yixiang, the relationship between her and Lin Yixiang could never return to the way it was before.Married to the backyard of the deep palace, she couldn't go home when she wanted to.Lin Yixiang disappeared from time to time, sometimes even in the palace, he would never sleep in the same room with Lu Zhiqing at night.The servants in the palace are all good at observing words and deeds. After half a month, everyone almost understood what was going on.

Lu Zhiqing lived in fear every day. Without a child, she would not have the confidence to keep her position.Right now is the critical time, she is even afraid that sometimes when she wakes up, she will see Lin Yixiang bring another woman back to become her "good sister".

Lu Zhiqing was enduring this kind of torment alone, she couldn't see her relatives, and she had nowhere to express her grievances.So, when she saw Ye Chengnan who appeared in front of her eyes, tears welled up in her eyes, and she was on the verge of falling.

Seeing Lu Zhiqing's teary eyes, Ye Chengnan quickly walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle." Lu Zhiqing grabbed Ye Chengnan's sleeve and said in a teary voice, "I miss my mother."

"Look at how promising you are!" Ye Chengnan rolled his eyes helplessly when he heard Lu Zhiqing's words.Looking around, Ye Chengnan whispered, "Come on, go into the house, I have something to tell you."

Lu Zhiqing nodded repeatedly, brought Ye Chengnan into the room, and drove out all the maidservants except Qian Luo.Lu Zhiqing looked expectantly at Ye Chengnan taking out a letter from his bosom to give to herself, but after reading the letter, Lu Zhiqing's mood became even more depressed.

The letter was written by Ye Lianrong, and apart from asking about her health, she just asked Lu Zhiqing if there was any movement in her stomach.Lu Zhiqing was already disturbed by this matter, but when Ye Lianrong asked her this question, she felt even more upset.

Lu Zhiqing clenched the letter tightly and was silent for a long while. With nowhere to go, she decided to tell Ye Lianrong about this matter.But she also knew what kind of virtue her uncle was on a daily basis, if he found out that the Seventh Prince refused to allow her to conceive a child, Lu Zhiqing thought, then many people would know about it soon.

"Qianluo, go get me a pen and ink." Lu Zhiqing called out to Qianluo who was waiting at the door, got up and went over, and wrote a letter to Ye Lianrong with a complicated mood. Lu Zhiqing handed the letter to Ye Chengnan with a solemn expression. He exhorted: "Please uncle must deliver the letter to my mother."

"Uncle is doing business, don't worry!" Ye Chengnan patted his chest resolutely, said a few words to Lu Zhiqing, and left.Lu Zhiqing looked at Ye Chengnan's back reluctantly, and when she couldn't see her, she sighed heavily and went back to the house.

Letting Qian Luo beat her back for a while, Lu Zhiqing always felt unhappy. "Qianluo." Lu Zhiqing said in a low voice, raised her hand to pat Qianluo's hand on her shoulder, and asked, "Why did you come to this palace?"

"Back to the master, Qian Luo was sold to the palace as a servant girl since she was a child, and I don't remember many things for a long time." Qian Luo recalled the past and smiled with relief.She could see that something was wrong with Lu Zhiqing's recent mood, and she could somewhat understand the reason.After staying in the palace for so many years, she knows too many things well.Although Lu Zhiqing is the seventh imperial concubine, her life is not like the life that the seventh imperial concubine should have.Appearance is the reason on the one hand, and on the other hand, it's because Lu Zhiqing doesn't know how to please her.

"Master." Qian Luo walked around in front of Lu Zhiqing, hesitantly said: "There are some things that I don't know whether I should say or not."

"What? You say it."

Qian Luo has been with Lu Zhiqing for a while, and he has a similar understanding of this master's temperament. "Master, in this palace, Qianluo has seen the ups and downs of too many empresses. But generally, those who can persevere until the end, and most of the people who sit in high positions are also able to bear it. Forgive me for your boldness. Well, the servant girl just wanted to remind the master that you must not be seen by others from your face when you are not favored. If you express your emotions too obviously, you will be caught one day. The palace is different from Outside the palace, does master understand?"

After listening to Qian Luo's words in shock, Lu Zhiqing nodded slowly. "I understand, and I understand what you said. But, what else can I do?"

"Hold on. If the Seventh Prince doesn't accept his side concubine for a day, we will still have a chance. Even if there is another master in our courtyard one day, it may not be able to be higher than your status. Master, you Xiangye's daughter, think about it, is there anyone more powerful than Xiangye in this court?"

A light flashed in Lu Zhiqing's mind, that's right, even if the Seventh Prince doesn't take herself seriously, she still has to take her father seriously.As long as Lu Yuanzheng is the prime minister for a day, she will be the prime minister's daughter for a day.With this, no one else can do anything to her!

"You girl, you're quite smart. It seems that I picked the right person." Lu Zhiqing took Qian Luo's hand, "If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me directly. If you serve me well, I will definitely not will treat you badly."

"Master, don't worry, Qianluo will definitely do it."

Ye Shengnan brought the letter back to the prime minister's mansion, and Ye Lianrong became furious after reading the contents of the letter.

"What's wrong? Show me." Ye Chengnan curiously reached out to get the letter, but Ye Lianrong avoided it.

Lu Zhiqing had already said in the letter that Ye Chengnan must not let this matter know, and Ye Lianrong did not dare to show it to him. "It's nothing serious, I just feel that Qing'er's stomach hasn't moved after so many days, and it's just a little disappointing."

"Don't tell me, this girl cried when she saw me today, she said she missed you! Look at her talent, she is not satisfied with being served by someone in the palace, and she still wants to come back to the Prime Minister's mansion!"

After Ye Chengnan finished speaking, Ye Lianrong gave her a hard look.Seeing Ye Lianrong's displeased expression, he shut his mouth and drank his tea without saying anything more.

"Brother, that imperial physician named Su Changfei, have you been in touch with him recently?"

"I haven't seen this old man for a long time. Why, are you feeling unwell?"

"Yeah, my waist has been hurting lately, and I've seen the doctor, but it didn't work. Why don't you call him over and show me someday?" Ye Lianrong asked perfunctorily.

"Okay, I'll find him for you later. It's getting late, so I'll go back first, or dad will scold me again." Ye Chengnan didn't think too much, nodded, stood up and left.After Ye Chengnan left, Ye Lianrong read the letter again.Eyes kept turning around in one section. Ye Lianrong watched Lu Zhiqing write that Lu Zhiyao had an affair with the Seventh Prince, and said something to the Seventh Prince, which caused the Seventh Prince to stop touching her. A jump is higher than a jump.

Lu Zhiyao, that bitch, goes too far every time!This time, they stepped on the noses of their mother and daughter!

The more Ye Lianrong thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally she couldn't help kicking the door out of the room, and walked aggressively towards Lu Zhiyao's other courtyard.

Lu Zhiyao was talking in the room with Bai Lixuan who came in a hurry, but before he could say a few words, he heard Wanyue shouting outside the door: "The second lady is here, are you here to see our young lady?"

Before Lu Zhiyao could wait for Ye Lianrong to say anything, he heard the door being kicked open with a "bang".She raised her hand to press down Bai Lixuan's standing body, shook her head at him, then turned to look at Ye Lianrong who was covered in anger.

The moment Lu Zhiyao saw Ye Lianrong, he also did a self-reflection.She thought about it seriously, has she done anything recently that made her so angry?But after much deliberation, Lu Zhiyao couldn't come up with an answer.

"Who is he?" Ye Lianrong saw Bai Lixuan sitting next to Lu Zhiyao at a glance, and sneered, Ye Lianrong sarcastically said: "You are really courageous, you dare to bring a wild man back in broad daylight! There is no you in the house Can you see a servant? Have you started looking outside?"

Ye Lianrong's words reminded Lu Zhiyao that she once bought Lin Rong's servant in an attempt to destroy her innocence.

Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, looked at her indifferently, and said, "Er Niang, I know that the weather has been a little hot recently, but your irritable temper is really a bit too much. What lies should you tell, what lies You shouldn't even make it up, why can't you tell the difference after living a long time?"

"You little slut, don't come and teach me! Let me ask you, have you been chewing your tongue in the ears of the Seventh Prince again?" Ye Lianrong stepped forward two steps and walked in front of Lu Zhiyao no matter what she said. , asked sharply.

Hearing her reminder, Lu Zhiyao remembered something.With a thoughtful "ah", Lu Zhiyao smiled sweetly, and asked innocently in his eyes: "What is Er Niang talking about, why don't I understand?"

"Don't pretend to be ignorant for me. Let me ask you, who is he?" Ye Lianrong pointed at Bai Lixuan again.

"The eighth prince's person came to deliver a message to me." Lu Zhiyao stared at Ye Lianrong, unmoved. "Er Niang, I won't stop what you want to say. But if it's appropriate, you should also show some evidence. You don't feel tired of framing me like this again and again, but I am a little annoyed. You always If you say that I have an affair with the Seventh Prince, don’t you even think about it. What is the identity of the Seventh Prince? If your words reach his ears, will my sister’s life in the palace be easier? Otherwise, it’s better like this , I'll go find the Seventh Prince, ah yes, and my sister. Let's sit together and talk about this, what do you think?"

"Lu Zhiyao, don't bully me too much!" Ye Lianrong said loudly, no match for Lu Zhiyao's sharp teeth.

"Who is bullying too much? Er Niang, you slandered my innocence in front of the eighth prince today. I can't pretend that nothing happened. What if the eighth prince really believes you?" If you go to the emperor to cancel the engagement, then how do you explain it to my father? Or, do you think it is enough to have a younger sister marrying the seventh prince, and we don’t need the power of the eighth prince anymore in our prime minister’s house?"
