Chapter 235 Men Are Unreliable
She smiled and called Zui Xiang over to the side, and ordered: "Go to the kitchen and get some more food."
"By the way," Concubine Rou raised the corner of her mouth slightly, with a hint of sneer, and called Zuixiang who was about to go out.
"You can spread the news that Concubine Li and her child are safe."
Zuixiang nodded, turned and left the room.
Concubine Li scratched her head in confusion and muttered to herself, "What's going on? I've been sleeping for two days. Is there anyone who doesn't know that I've given birth?"
Imperial Concubine Rou snorted, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, "At least the most anxious person hasn't received the news yet."
Then, she told Concubine Li in detail what the Emperor of Qi had done.
After listening to this, Concubine Li sighed helplessly, her tone full of disappointment and indignation.
"As expected, men are unreliable. I gave birth to children for him and gave so much, but he is still not as good as a bad son!"
Imperial Concubine Rou sneered, her eyes revealing mockery, "He thought that as long as he pushed out a scapegoat, the matter would be over, but unfortunately, the palace has already been turned upside down."
When Concubine Li heard this, a series of surprise and admiration appeared on her face.
She stared at Concubine Rou with her eyes, "Sister, I always thought you were as lazy as me, but I didn't expect you to be in power quietly. This really opened my eyes!"
Imperial Concubine Rou looked at Imperial Concubine Li with a look of disappointment, and said helplessly, "I think you are the only one who is lazy and likes nothing. Look at Imperial Concubine Jin, she still doesn't forget to compete for favor even at this time."
After hearing this, Concubine Li just chuckled and said flatteringly: "Sister is so powerful, I am lucky to be following you."
Although she was very unhappy that Concubine Rou compared her with the silly Concubine Jin, but after all, Concubine Rou was her dear sister.
Concubine Rou sighed, looking at Concubine Li lying in her arms, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she is still a child after all.
At the same time, there was a tense atmosphere in the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
With a crisp "pop" sound, an exquisite teacup fell to the ground and shattered, making a crisp sound.
The Tenth Prince’s face was filled with anger, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and in front of him were a few people kneeling sparsely, each of them was silent and did not dare to look up.
"Waste! You are all a bunch of useless trash!" The Tenth Prince scolded angrily, his voice full of anger and cruelty.
His fists were clenched tightly, veins bulging. People who knew him knew that the Tenth Prince was clearly on the verge of going berserk.
Concubine Li has been living in Jingyang Palace, and Concubine Rou follows her closely like she is guarding an iron barrel.
This time I finally found a rare opportunity, but I didn't expect that I would still fail.
Thinking of this, the Tenth Prince was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and wished he could execute all these people immediately. They couldn't even deal with a woman. They were really a bunch of trash.
"Why did I keep you guys? You can't even handle such a small matter!"
The tenth prince roared, his eyes flashing with anger. He swung his arms violently.
Everything on the table was swept off the table, and the crackling sound filled the whole room.
The people below were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, and remained silent as a mouse, for fear of angering the ruthless Tenth Prince in front of them.
The leader gritted his teeth, knelt down and took a few steps forward, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness... In fact, we were almost successful, but Concubine Rou left too quickly, and Concubine Li was rescued as soon as she fell into the water."
Upon hearing this, the Tenth Prince sneered and said in a cold tone: "Why, Shiyue, have you also learned to make excuses for your own incompetence?"
The man named Shiyue felt nervous and kowtowed to admit his mistake, saying in panic: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I never meant to do that. It was just an accident this time!"
"It's okay." The Tenth Prince seemed to calm down and slowly helped Shiyue up, but there was a cold light in his eyes.
He said coldly, "She is quite capable. She was able to give birth to the child safely. However, it is not so easy to raise this child to adulthood."
After hearing this, Shiyue was shocked. Could it be that His Highness has not given up the idea of taking the child's life?
However, the defense of Jingyang Palace must be stricter than before, and there are forces hidden in the dark assisting Concubine Rou, so it will not be easy for them to take action again.
"Your Highness," Shi Yue gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to persuade, "The situation is not favorable to us now. I am afraid it will be difficult to find a suitable opportunity to take action."
The Tenth Prince sneered and slowly turned his head. His eyes revealed an extremely cold chill, like the biting cold wind in winter, which made people shudder.
Even Shiyue, who had been serving the Tenth Prince, couldn't help but shudder, as if enveloped by an invisible chill.
“I remember that every royal family member would go to Shangguo Temple on the outskirts of the capital to pray for blessings after a hundred days!” The Tenth Prince’s voice was low and cold, as chilling as ice.
A bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes, and he stared fiercely ahead like a wolf in the dark. "Shiyue, this is your last chance, understand?"
Shiyue's body stiffened instantly, and a feeling of fear and tension surged in his heart.
He knew that the Tenth Prince had given him a clear warning that if he failed to complete the task, the consequences would be disastrous.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and finally responded, "I understand."
At the same time, in the distant Xuan State.
The letter that Qi Wuyou received this time was sent from the Qi Imperial Palace. The handwriting on the envelope showed that the letter was written by Concubine Li herself.
Qi Wuyou opened the envelope carefully, and when she saw that Concubine Li mentioned in the letter that her two babies were very healthy, a happy smile suddenly appeared on her face.
However, despite being in a good mood, Qi Wuyou knew in his heart that the Tenth Prince would never give up easily.
He will certainly continue to look for other ways to deal with the three of them, mother and son, and may even resort to more sinister and vicious means.
Concubine Li has given birth, but since she has already experienced danger once, everyone in Jingyang Palace will definitely be keeping a close watch on her.
If she could think of praying at Shangguo Temple a month later, then the Tenth Prince must have thought of it as well.
Therefore, the Tenth Prince might choose to take action when Concubine Li takes her child to Shangguo Temple to pray for blessings after giving birth.
Thinking of this, Qi Wuyou quickly picked up a pen and wrote a letter to He Yun. Although she knew that He Yun should be able to think of this with his intelligence, she still told him her speculation in detail.
After writing the letter, Qi Wuyou checked it carefully to make sure that no important information was missed, and then asked Lianxiang to send the letter.
At this time, Qi Wuyou sat quietly by the window, gazing at the snow scene outside, but his heart was always worried about Concubine Li.
"Alas," Qi Wuyou sighed softly, with deep sadness revealed between his brows.
She rubbed her head gently, trying to remember something, but she couldn't.
