The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 181 This Wolf

Lan Cairen's movements froze.

Qin Liuse was standing next to him and felt that his movements became a little stiff. He understood in his heart that Lan Cairen was a little afraid of Wen Meiren.

No one knows how Concubine Wen bullies these lower-ranking people in the palace on a daily basis.

Lan Cairen and Qin Liuse turned around together and looked at Wen Meiren who was walking over with some discomfort.

Qin Liuse found it funny. There was obviously nothing going on between the two of them, but because Concubine Wen suddenly shouted and got so startled, it seemed as if he and Concubine Lan had done something wrong.

"Sister Wen, you came just in time. The autumn sky is high and the air is crisp. Lan Cairen and I happened to meet behind here and admired the chrysanthemums, which are in full bloom."

"So, in two days, we have to ask the people in the Shanggong Bureau to give each palace sister some dried chrysanthemums, so that the sisters in the harem can take advantage of the autumn to moisten their lungs and get rid of dryness."

Qin Liuse spoke rapidly, trying her best not to make the atmosphere seem even more strange due to Lan Cairen's reservedness.

Lan Cairen breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know when Lady Wen would come over. She was indeed a little nervous, so she was a little overwhelmed.

Lady Wen's eyes kept moving back and forth between the two of them, as if she was weighing Qin Liuse's words.

However, Qin Liuse's words were polite and official, and Lady Wen couldn't figure anything out.

For a moment, Lady Wen was actually taken by Qin Liuse to the edge of the flower bed to admire the golden chrysanthemums that were in full bloom.

These chrysanthemums are all famous varieties, which the Shanggong Bureau has spent a lot of money to cultivate.

They are golden and each flower is as big as half a head.

It is really unlikely to see such chrysanthemums anywhere else except in the harem of Emperor Yongjia.

However, as an emperor, Emperor Yongjia did not lose the support of the people. There were always extra flowers grown in the greenhouse, and he would not enjoy them all to himself.

In addition to rewarding officials, even common people could enjoy the feast for the eyes.

There are many imperial palaces and villas in the capital city, but on weekdays, they are used as places for citizens to relax and have fun, and patrolling citizens can also stroll in these garden houses.

From time to time, Yongjia would ask people in the harem to send some precious flowers over so that the people could appreciate them together.

The three of them walked around, and seeing that the sun was about to set, they returned to the yard to have dinner.

As for Concubine Li, ever since she knew that incense was lit in Concubine Zhou's palace and had some guesses in her mind, she racked her brains to try to test it out.

Is Cairen really having a good time this week?

And he thought more deeply, if Zhou Cairen didn't come to Xiaori, why would she lie to him?

After thinking about it, the only possibility is pregnancy.

What is even more puzzling is that in order to conceal the news of her pregnancy, Zhou Cairen lied that she was pregnant.

The scheming behind this made Li Xianfei feel uneasy. It can't be said that she was afraid, but because Zhou Cairen had such a lowly status, but had such a brain, Li Xianfei felt threatened.

So he must get to the bottom of this matter.

Is this a good life? You know, it’s not easy. The cloth bag used by Xinqi is the best proof.

Concubine Li immediately asked her maid to go to the backyard to check.

After half an hour, the maid came back and said, "Mr. Zhou's cloth bags have been changed today. I didn't see any maids around Mr. Zhou in the backyard. I can only wait until tomorrow to see them."

Concubine Li gritted her teeth, somewhat unwillingly. She was anxious to know the truth. That night, she felt like she was being frying in a frying pan.

On the second day, Concubine Li's maid got up very early and squatted in the backyard for a long time. Finally, she met Concubine Zhou's maid who came to change his cloth bag.

When Concubine Li was having breakfast, the maid came to report to him, "Your Highness, I saw it in the backyard, and it looks like she is having her period."

A trace of relief flashed in Li Xianfei's eyes, "You can see it clearly."

The maid nodded and said, "It is absolutely true. I saw him replace the ashes, and there are indeed blood stains on the used cloth bag."

Concubine Li nodded and continued to scoop the porridge with a spoon and put it into her mouth.

Although the maid saw it with her own eyes, Concubine Li's sixth sense was still beating, and she always felt that this matter was not that simple.

Besides, if Zhou Cairen was really deceiving him, it would not be difficult for him to pretend and make a cloth bag for him to see.

It’s a pity that he is not Emperor Yongjia, so he can’t go into his room and pull down his pants.

If this action wasn't bad to be spread, Concubine Li would really like to give it a try.

Because only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know whether he is sincere or just deceiving yourself.

As Concubine Li thought about it, her head started to hurt.

Such a good opportunity cannot be missed. If his time of living is over, I will not have the chance to take action again even if I want to.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Concubine Zhou is from his Yuxiu Palace, and Concubine Li is really afraid that she is pregnant. If she is lucky enough to give birth to a prince, wouldn't that step on the head of his Princess Anle?

It will be difficult to determine who is the older sister and who is the younger sister at that time.

Although she is the mistress of a palace, when the people below her give birth to children, they have to be raised by her side.

But there is a layer of separation between the belly and the heart. Someone else’s son is someone else’s son, an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.

Therefore, Concubine Li did not want Concubine Zhou to give birth to a dragon fetus.

She frowned and asked, "Don't you usually give him the contraceptive sachet? Have you checked the sachet?"

The maid nodded and said, "According to the instructions of the Concubine Xian, it is delivered to them on time every time, and I see that Concubine Zhou brings it with her every day."

Concubine Li Xian frowned, "Then logically speaking, it's impossible to get pregnant."

The material in the sachet was a folk remedy, which his family members had specially requested for him in order to consolidate his favor and maintain his position in the harem.

These are all recipes that are almost lost, and their effectiveness is of course proven, so his family members would send them to him.

After Li Xianfei finished her porridge and ate a pancake, when she put down her chopsticks, the maid noticed that she was in a bad mood and asked, "Madam Xianfei, do you want me to go to his room to take a look?"

Concubine Li Xian raised her hand, shook her head and said, "Don't alert the enemy. If it's fake, it's fine. But if it's true, if we make it known and the Emperor finds out, we won't have a good ending."

The maid was stunned and said, "Then the virtuous concubine, this..."

"Let me think about this matter again."

Concubine Li was thinking that she had to come up with a solution in the next two days, so as to avoid showing off her power after a good time.

At least now she has a plan in mind, and she is in the open while she is in the dark. As long as the other party doesn't know that she has become suspicious, the subsequent developments will be more beneficial to her.

"What should we do now?" asked the maid.

Concubine Li Xian was served tea and washed her hands and face by her maid. While wiping her hands, she said, "Just leave it like this for now. Just pretend nothing happened and get along with them as normal."

The maid replied, "Yes."

By the evening, Concubine Li racked her brains and finally came up with a solution.

After dinner, she called the maid over and said, "Let's use the same trick on him. Since he still uses incense in his daily life, let's send some incense to him."

Li Xianfei pushed a box in front of him to the maid. The smell of this incense was the same as the one he used every day, but some ingredients were added inside.

If Zhou Cairen was really deceiving herself and was not having her period but was pregnant, then if she continued to use this kind of incense for a few more days, the flesh inside would surely fall out completely.

On the other side of the harem, Qin Liuse was getting dressed in Shu Yuexuan.

Emperor Yongjia called his name again tonight, and he and Lan Cairen had just discussed a plan. Now was the time for his acting skills to come in handy.

That night, Qin Liuse was extremely gentle and cooperative towards Emperor Yongjia.

Usually, Qin Liuse was too shy to cooperate with any tricks Emperor Yongjia wanted to play.

But tonight, everything happened to Emperor Yongjia.

Being so knowledgeable and tactful, Emperor Yongjia looked like a hungry wolf with a gleam in his eyes.

As the saying goes, one gets more delicious after tasting it. For the next two nights, Emperor Yongjia summoned Qin Liuse to sleep with him.

Qin Liuse was overwhelmed, thinking that he had really put a lot of effort into luring Lady Wen into the trap.

I just hope that Concubine Wen can be more alert and make good use of his strategy so that she won’t have to spend so much time and effort serving Emperor Yongjia, this wolf.
