Chapter 304 Reluctant to part with this king?
Su Mowan thought about it and realized that she had miscarried and needed to rest for ten days to half a month.
Su Mowan felt a little regretful that she finally had the chance to order Su Huayue around, thinking that the miscarriage had come at the wrong time.
Murong Jing seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, there's no need to rush."
Su Mowan hummed in agreement and then asked, "What's the story behind the assassination attempt on the Emperor's side?"
Murong Jing knew she was referring to the incident of returning home late in the woods, and explained, "There were two groups of assassins. One group was from the Xiao family and was after Father Emperor, while the other group was mine and was after Liu Wen."
"Liu Wen?" Su Mowan had never heard of this person.
“A general, who was promoted in the last two years, has been secretly in contact with the Left Prime Minister’s office.”
At this point, Su Mowan understood. Murong Jing was just taking advantage of the chaos to get rid of the person and pin the blame on the assassin.
Su Mowan thought for a moment and said, "When the Emperor asked Shangguan Qingqi if he was ready, what did he ask Shangguan Qingqi to prepare? Does that have anything to do with you?"
Murong Jing looked at her and said, "Naturally, the purpose is the same, except that my arrangement is in the dark, while Shangguan Qingqi's arrangement is in the light, both are to get rid of Liu Wen."
Su Mowan understood, which meant that no one except Emperor Moyao knew about Murong Jing's actions.

In a dark corner outside the hall.
Shen Muyue glanced around and said to the person in front of her, "It's definitely a miscarriage, what a stroke of luck! Before we could even make a move, she got into trouble!"
The person opposite looked somewhat sinister in the darkness. "It's good that she's gone. Man proposes, God disposes. It seems even the heavens are on our side. While she's preoccupied these days, you should find an opportunity to get close to His Highness Prince Qin."
Shen Muyue's expression stiffened, though the other person couldn't see it. "This matter needs further consideration. The prince doesn't like me much right now, but if we just wait, there will always be an opportunity!"
"Of course there's an opportunity, but when are you going to go? Aren't you afraid that bitch Su Mowan will steal the opportunity again and get pregnant again? Who will you cry to then!"
Shen Muyue was getting anxious. "He was already unhappy with me today because I went into the woods without permission, especially since I came back with you guys. He might even be starting to suspect me now. What am I supposed to do?"
Silver moonlight streamed down between the two walls, illuminating Su Huayue's face, and Shen Muyue saw that Su Huayue's expression was sinister.
"As long as you dare to dream, there are plenty of ways. Do I need to teach you this? If you want to get something, you have to get it out first. If you're afraid of this and can't do that, when will you ever be able to rise above others and trample Su Mowan under your feet?"
Although Shen Muyue had considered some unscrupulous methods, after hearing Su Huayue's words, she felt that her previous plans were all too childish.
Su Huayue is even more ruthless than her!
Shen Muyue was hesitating when she heard Su Huayue across from her say, "You and that person... could you take this opportunity to get pregnant, then arrange to sleep with them for one night, and once the baby is born, wouldn't everything be solved?"
Shen Muyue's secret was discovered by Su Huayue, giving Su Huayue leverage over her. Now, Shen Muyue feared that Su Huayue might suddenly turn on her and expose everything. So, Shen Muyue whispered, "If you say this now, and then break the contract later, won't I be the one who suffers?"
"Break the contract?"
Su Huayue seemed to find it amusing and chuckled softly, "Why would I break the contract? If you can make Su Mowan suffer, I'll applaud you! What need would I have to break the contract?"
Shen Muyue deeply understood Su Huayue's hatred for Su Mowan, so she found Su Huayue's words to be very reasonable and felt that there was no need to worry that Su Huayue would betray her.
"That would be best. It's getting late, I should head back now."
"Waiting for good news."
Su Huayue watched Shen Muyue's retreating figure, a strange smile curling at the corner of her lips.
As soon as Shen Muyue returned to the palace gate, she saw her maid Caihong looking around anxiously. Upon seeing her return, Caihong quickly said, "The Imperial Concubine just sent someone to see you, saying she has something to say."
"Okay, let's go now."
Shen Muyue roughly knew what her aunt would say to her later, which would be nothing more than vying for the position of the primary consort.
Accompanied by her maid, she arrived at the entrance of the palace and told the palace maids at the gate that she wanted to see Consort Shen. One of the maids immediately led the two of them inside.
The lights were still on in Consort Shen's room, indicating that she was not yet asleep.
Shen Muyue left Caihong outside, called out "Aunt" to herself, and went inside.
Consort Shen had removed her makeup, her long black hair flowing freely, and she looked several years younger than usual. As soon as Shen Muyue entered, she turned and asked, "Where did you go? Why did the people I sent say you weren't here?"
Shen Muyue said calmly, "I just went to the outhouse, it took a while."
Consort Shen stood up, pulled her niece who was standing in front of her to sit down on the bed, and asked in a low voice, "Tell your aunt what your situation is like in the Prince of Qin's mansion."
Shen Muyue sighed, "What can I do? The prince won't even touch me."
Consort Shen was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Never touched you?"
“From the time I entered the manor until now, it has never happened. It is also very difficult to see him on ordinary days. I have gone to his residence several times, but I was turned away each time.”
Shen Muyue wasn't embarrassed or awkward; she just looked worried.
Consort Shen glanced at her niece and asked in surprise, "It can't be that bad. You're no less capable than Su Mowan. Why does Prince Qin never touch you? Did you do something to displease him?"
Shen Muyue shook her head. "No. I've only seen him alone twice since I entered the manor. How could I have done anything to upset him?"
"So what's going on here?"
Consort Shen was a little confused.
Judging from what happened there today, the King of Qin cares about Su Mowan. It's clear that the Seventh Princess also likes Su Mowan. Her niece is no less beautiful than Su Mowan, so how could she not be liked by either the King of Qin or the Seventh Princess?
Seeing her aunt frowning, Shen Muyue felt a little guilty. She had naturally done some things that Murong Jing disliked, but she hadn't directly offended Murong Jing. She had offended that bitch Su Mowan.
It's just that Murong Jing is siding with that bitch!
That's why he was so cold to her and didn't even want her to get close!
Shen Muyue thought for a moment and decided to confess, saying, "To tell you the truth, I did do some things, but they were all aimed at Su Mowan. Moreover, those were all things that happened when I first entered the manor. Who knew that Su Mowan would win the prince's favor as soon as she entered the manor!"
Consort Shen knew what was going on when she heard this. After all, she knew her niece's personality and temperament all too well. She immediately frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to be careful when you enter the manor and not just think about showing off? Have you forgotten all of that?"
These words were full of reproach.
Consort Shen was aware of her brother's plans. Her niece had no status with the Prince of Qin, which indirectly affected her brother's plans and also her own wishful thinking!
Seeing that her aunt was unusually unfriendly to her, Shen Muyue felt a little wronged and said, "You can't blame me! Who knew Su Mowan would be so favored! Father told me to suppress Su Mowan's limelight and momentum, so what else could I do but go to her and show my strength?"
"You."
At this moment, Consort Shen could only blame her brother for not teaching their daughter properly, and how he had raised such a clueless child!
"Alright, let's not talk about the past anymore. Just tell me what your plans are for the future? Are you just going to let Su Mowan keep putting you down?"
Shen Muyue's eyes widened. "Of course not! I will naturally find a way to get close to the King of Qin during this time!"
Consort Shen glanced at her niece, who was full of fighting spirit, and said, "After you get close, is that all? Getting close doesn't mean you'll be favored in the future. You have to find a way to make yourself have a place in Prince Qin's heart! Otherwise, even if you give birth to a son before Su Mowan, it will all be in vain!"
Shen Muyue was stunned by her aunt's words and couldn't process what she was saying for a while before she murmured, "You're right. Even if I give birth to a son, I might not be able to become the principal wife. I need to think about this carefully..."
She had just told Su Huayue that she would try to get into Murong Jing's bed, but now she suddenly realized that even getting into bed wasn't safe!
Su Huayue hadn't considered this aspect at all!
Shen Muyue couldn't help but wonder whether Su Huayue hadn't thought of this point like her, or whether Su Huayue was doing it on purpose.
Her aunt was right. The calculation was to get a son first. If she used unscrupulous means and angered Murong Jing, she would not become the principal wife even if she gave birth to ten sons!
Shen Muyue stood up and said, "Aunt, I will think about what you said when I get back."
Consort Shen sighed inwardly and said, "Yes, go."

Su Mowan leaned closer to Murong Jing and said, "Are you going to Jiangnan with me?"
Su Mowan meant that it was on the way, so they could go together.
"Ah."
Murong Jing lowered his head. "What's wrong?"
Su Mowan shook her head. "It's nothing. I just wanted to ask, has Yanxue Kingdom really made a move?"
"Yes, it won't take more than half a month."
Su Mowan reached out and hugged Murong Jing's waist, then looked up and asked, "If war breaks out, how long will you stay there?"
Murong Jing, who had been quite calm, suddenly darkened his eyes at her words, "You can't bear to part with me?"
Su Mowan hadn't originally intended this, but after Murong Jing said it, and considering that she wouldn't see him for a long time, she really felt a little reluctant.
Putting everything else aside, there's no one to warm the bed for me when I go to sleep.
So Su Mowan admitted, "I am a little reluctant to part with it."
The moment those words were spoken, a kiss landed squarely on his lips, and the atmosphere began to heat up.
Murong Jing's hand was around her waist, and with a flip, he pinned her down.
"Since you can't bear to part with it, why not do it today..."
Su Mowan's heart skipped a beat; she knew exactly what Murong Jing meant by those words.
She was less afraid than she had been a couple of days ago, thinking that it was only a matter of time and it wasn't impossible, but perhaps this location wasn't quite right.
"How about we wait until we get back to the manor?"
His Highness the Prince of Qin couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion when he recalled the name "Murong Jing" that Su Mowan had shouted in desperation when dealing with the assassin.
"I want it now."
