Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 360 Persuasion
"Tripping Concubine Cui?" Yingying sneered in her heart, after all, Concubine De kept threatening her to do this or that just to trip Concubine Cui.

Concubine De thought that Yingying had let go, and quickly said: "According to what I know, Concubine Cui is now investigating you everywhere, and I'm afraid there is nothing good. You can either get rid of her or get rid of the child. Otherwise, not only you, but also the crown prince will be killed." It's over."

"Your Majesty, give me some more time. I'll try again and see if I can get rid of her directly. I'm still very reluctant to part with this child." Yingying was also unwilling to be used as a pawn, thinking that it would be a while to delay.

Concubine De saw that her attitude was firm, so she stopped insisting. Anyway, when dealing with a small character like Yingying, she had a hundred ways to make him let go.

"Forget it, think about it again, is there any other way to deal with her. As for your child, I will help you find a way to see if you can keep it." Concubine De showed a reluctant look.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Yingying wept with joy.

"Well, it's getting late, you should go back first." Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Concubine De didn't want to see Yingying again, so she sent Yingying away.

Yingying returned to Qinfang Palace, and He Huanxi planned to pass the matter on to Xie Wanqing.But the entire Qinfang Palace, except for Huanxi, is owned by Concubine De!This made Yingying suddenly unable to find a place to attack.

In this way, Yingying has been dragging on dealing with Concubine Cui.Until the middle of March, Concubine De finally couldn't hold back and came to Qinfang Palace on her own initiative.Because at this time, Yingying's belly has gradually grown, and it is somewhat inconvenient to walk around.

Concubine De held Yingying's hand, and said earnestly, "Yingying, what are you thinking. Up to now, you still don't know for sure."

"Your Majesty, I'm now—" Yingying didn't expect Concubine De to come to her again so soon.At first, she only wanted to procrastinate, but she didn't think about how to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, my lord, the emperor is here."

Yingying was worrying about how to explain, when outside the door, a joyful sentence interrupted the thoughts of the two of them.When Concubine De heard Xuanyuan Zhen approaching, she first showed joy, but when she realized that Xuanyuan Zhen was here to see Yingying, her face calmed down.

Yingying was wearing a loose palace attire. She was pregnant, not only did not dim, but she also had a soft and beautiful temperament.Concubine De was originally a gorgeous and unparalleled beauty, but her temperament was a bit hostile, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." Yingying and Concubine De slowly saluted when Xuanyuan Zhen came in.

When Xuanyuan Zhen saw Concubine De, he was startled for a moment, then hurried over to help Yingying up, and said, "Concubine De is here too."

"Yes, my concubine came to visit Sister Yingxue. I didn't expect to meet the emperor by chance." Concubine De reacted very quickly, she laughed immediately, and gave Yingying a friendly look.

"It's rare that you and Xue'er hit it off so well. What were you talking about just now?" Xuanyuan Zhen asked casually.

Concubine De covered her lips and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the concubine's birthday is approaching, sister Yingxue and the concubine are discussing how to spend it."

"Birthday is a big event, this year we must do it well, make it a big one!" Xuanyuan Zhen was in a good mood today, and directly said that he would do it for Concubine De.

Concubine De was overjoyed, but she declined on the face: "Your Majesty, this is probably not very good."

"What's wrong with this, your birthday should be celebrated properly." After finishing speaking, Xuanyuan Zhen looked at Yingying dotingly, "Xue'er, what do you think?"

"What the emperor said is very true. Concubine De is busy with affairs in the palace, so she should celebrate her birthday properly." Yingying naturally would not demolish Concubine De.It's just that I feel very uncomfortable in my heart, because she was inexplicably used by Concubine De again.

Xuanyuan Zhen originally came to visit Yingying, but he didn't expect Concubine De to be there, so he was not interested immediately, so he found an excuse and left first, leaving behind Yingying and Concubine De.

"Sister, look at your belly, I'm afraid I can't hide it." After confirming that Xuanyuan Zhen had left, Concubine De started pulling Yingying again, trying to brainwash her.

Yingying still looked reluctant, she just lowered her head and shed tears.

Seeing Yingying's hopeless appearance, Concubine De was furious.It is inconceivable that this beautiful woman in front of her has captured the hearts of both the prince and the emperor at the same time!At least in her opinion, Yingying is very brainless.

"Yingying, I won't persuade you anymore. I'm just telling you, the longer the time drags on, the less good it will be for you. If Concubine Cui catches you, I'm afraid it will be too late for you to regret it. Well, not only You, Bengong, and the crown prince will accompany this child to die!"

Yingying thought to herself, if a life can be exchanged for the death of you and Xuanyuanming, then it is quite worth it.

Concubine De was furious, she did not expect Yingying to remain indifferent after persuading her for so long.Thinking of this, she couldn't calm down anymore, and walked away directly.

"Girl, did you leave Concubine De in anger?" After Concubine De left, Huanxi leaned on Yingying to smell it.

Yingying nodded, dark and dignified: "She left without a few words of persuasion. I'm afraid she thought of another way to force me to submit."

"Then what should we do?" Huanxi was also anxious, "Now we can't contact the princess, we have to deal with it ourselves."

"Yeah, I can only deal with it myself."

Yingying's guesses were always accurate, and this time was no exception.Within three days, Concubine De arranged for people to spread rumors in the palace, saying that Qiong Guiren's belly grew too fast, and she might not be the emperor's child.

Rumors have always been scary, and people in the palace are talking about it in private.And the people in Qinfang Palace are almost all the eyes of Concubine De.So, they naturally revealed the news to Huanxi.

"Girl, Concubine De is really insidious!" Huanxi scolded Concubine De in private when she heard the news.

Although Yingying was not surprised by Concubine De's actions, she was still a little angry.Concubine De's doing this is tantamount to forcing her to submit.If this continues, she will be in a passive situation and will be more and more controlled by Concubine De.

But what Yingying didn't know was that at this time, an important person came to the Concubine's Palace, that is, Crown Prince Xuanyuanming.

"Your Highness, what wind brought you here!" Seeing Xuanyuan Ming approaching, Concubine De immediately made a smirk.

Xuanyuanming beckoned, and after everyone around him had left, he roared in a low voice: "Concubine De, what's going on with you? Why are you wearing news that is not good for Yingying everywhere in the palace? You just take care of me like this." Hers!"

Concubine De was taken aback for a moment, then sneered and said, "His Royal Highness is very angry. It's just that you didn't understand the situation, and you came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, isn't it too much?"

"In the whole palace, except you who know the inside story of this matter, who else can be?" Xuanyuan Ming immediately suspected De Concubine when he heard the news that the child in Yingying's womb was discussed.

"Then I will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Concubine De also had a bad expression on her face.She has been in a high position for a long time, and it has been a long time since anyone pointed her nose at her and scolded her.

Xuanyuanming said angrily: "Could it be that I spread the news?!"

"It's been a long time since Yingying was pregnant with the time when the emperor favored her. If people don't know, does the Crown Prince think it's possible?" Concubine De began to explain.

Xuanyuan Ming was dubious: "Who could it be?"

"I think Concubine Cui is very suspicious. She has recently regarded Yingying as a thorn in her side, and it is reasonable to want to take revenge on Yingying."

The reason why Xuanyuan Ming came here in such a hurry was not entirely because of Yingying.Most importantly, if Yingying is exposed, the relationship between them is likely to be exposed as well.Xuanyuan Ming couldn't bear the consequences of this matter.

Concubine De was planning on this, and calculated that the crown prince would not stand by Yingying, so she bit the bullet and spread the news in the palace.As it turned out, she was right to gamble.

"Cui Guifei? She is so courageous!" Xuanyuan Ming never put Cui Guifei in his eyes.

Concubine De saw that Xuanyuan Ming believed her a little bit, and said boldly: "Your Highness, right now, we can only think of a way to make up for it."

"What can you do?" Xuanyuan Ming is also very anxious now, after all, if this matter is not handled properly, it will have a great impact on him.

Concubine De began to say to Xuanyuanming again what she had said to Yingying before.

The difference is that Xuanyuan Ming immediately hesitated after hearing this.

"His Royal Highness, you are still so young, and you will have many children in the future. And if this matter is not handled properly, it is very likely that all of us will be ruined!" Concubine De's words were not alarmist.

But she is an adventurous person, and she believes that she will survive after death.

Xuanyuan Ming was silent for a moment, and finally said: "The child of this prince cannot die in vain."

"My thoughts coincide with the crown prince's." Concubine De said.

"Say." Xuanyuan Ming remained expressionless.What he wanted to sacrifice was his own child, and when he thought of Yingying's eyes, he felt that he couldn't open his mouth.

"It will be my birthday soon, and Concubine Cui Gui will definitely attend. At that time, Yingying only needs to get rid of the child on the spot, and then blame Concubine Cui Gui, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

It's good to kill two birds with one stone, but Xuanyuan Ming is not in the mood to listen to so many irritating benefits: "For the time being, this is the arrangement. As for Concubine Cui, I can't stay any longer."

Concubine De knew that she had successfully provoked the relationship between Xuanyuan Ming and Concubine Cui, so she couldn't help but smiled with satisfaction: "His Royal Highness is right, as long as I have a way, I will definitely share the prince's worries."

"How is Yingying doing recently?" Xuanyuan Ming asked.

Concubine De said: "How about Yingying, why doesn't His Royal Highness come to visit in person. She is in the palace, no one will give her a hard time. It's just that it's not happy to see His Highness for a long time."

Xuanyuan Ming didn't speak, he didn't really want to see Yingying.Once met, it means that he will let the other party make a cruel choice.

"It's better for His Royal Highness to meet her by the way, and persuade her by the way." Concubine De knew that her strategy had worked, and began to persuade Xuanyuan Ming to go and tell Yingying.
