Chapter 245 Unprecedented Grace
Chapter 245 Unprecedented Grace
She is so disgusting.
Shen Zhishu was absent-minded for a moment.
Then she felt relieved now. No wonder Yunmeng betrayed her.
She is truly a talent to be able to do such a thing.
Yunmeng is a living person.
"Then why do you follow me?"
She was too lazy to think about Su Rong's shamelessness.
If Yunmeng surrenders, perhaps she will be his first "friend" in this deep palace.
She was silent for a moment, and when I looked up at her again, there was a hint of discomfort on her face.
"Please believe me, Concubine Xian, that from the beginning I had no improper thoughts about the Emperor. Even though the Empress asked me to do something I didn't want to do, the Emperor and I have always been self-disciplined and polite, and have never had any physical contact..."
Yun Meng spoke of her thoughts very sincerely and acted very seriously. She just wanted Shen Zhishu to believe that every word she said was true and she was not lying.
She said that she had only wanted Yan Chu's protection so that she could live a worry-free life in the second half of her life. She could manage Tingfeng Tower for him until she died.
But things went against her wishes. Now that she had entered the palace, with the reputation of being the emperor's family member, she could no longer show her face in public. She would be locked up in the palace for the rest of her life.
But she is alone, as the emperor's woman, without any substantial relationship and family background, trapped here, and of no value to the emperor. How can she survive?
"So? What do you want?"
She had laid out all her difficulties before her.
"I want a child, and you know that, Queen Consort Xian. I am not young anymore, and I only have the chance in the next two years. I swear that if I can get what I want, I will follow you till death and be with you."
Her expression was extremely pious, as if Shen Zhishu was the goddess of fertility.
She was also stunned by such a request.
Have a child.
She couldn't give her a child.
And she is the emperor's woman. Isn't the emperor the only one who can give her a child?
"I may not be able to do what you ask for."
"I know that the Empress Xianfei and the Emperor have a deep relationship and would not want anyone to interfere. I have never thought of intervening, and I dare not ask for a share of the Emperor's favor. It's just that it's really hard to be alone in the palace for the rest of my life."
She just wants children, not love.
The virtuous concubine is always different from the queen, so she should be able to accept it.
But this was just her wishful thinking.
But it was the only way she could think of to sleep with the Emperor as quickly as possible.
Now the virtuous concubine is pregnant again. She lives in Kunning Palace. As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first. If there is an opportunity, she hopes that opportunity will fall on her.
"The emperor is devoted to state affairs and does not care about women, but as concubines in the harem, it is also my duty to help the emperor have children."
Speaking of these words, I feel inexplicably reluctant.
She actually didn't want Yan Chu to have any relationship with other women.
Could it be that the exclusive favor she has received these days has caused her to lose sight of her own position?
"If the emperor comes to Kunning Palace, I will arrange for you to come and serve him. As for the rest... it's up to you."
It was impossible for her to devote her whole heart to him. Even if she liked him, it could only be a little bit.
Shen Zhishu didn't want to get deeper into trouble.
So she agreed to Yunmeng's request.
"Yes, thank you, Madam Concubine."
Yunmeng was ecstatic.
It seemed that from this moment on, her chance had come.
And Yan Chu did favor Shen Zhishu.
He came in the evening, just after the enthronement ceremony.
According to etiquette, he should go to the queen tonight.
So when Shen Zhishu saw him, he was surprised and at a loss, and for a moment he stepped forward to greet him.
"I am always worried about the baby in your belly."
Yan Chu saw her expression, but misunderstood.
I just explained it specially.
Shen Zhishu was very embarrassed by what he said. It sounded as if he must have some ulterior motive when he came here.
"Didn't the emperor say so? He's very good."
The next second she walked forward with a faint smile, took his arm affectionately, and entered the house.
Yan Chu's mouth corners slightly curled up because of her dependent little action.
"The people in your palace now are all carefully selected by Zhou Defu, so you can use them with confidence."
After all, Zhou Defu hired these people with his own life as a guarantee, and Yan Chu also investigated their background, so he felt relieved.
"Your Majesty has taken so much trouble for me. I am deeply touched."
"Today is the coronation ceremony. Did the Queen make things difficult for you?"
"Your Majesty also said that you are being too high-profile by letting me live here. If I say that the Queen doesn't want to embarrass me at all, do you believe me?"
She was afraid that he wanted to skin her alive.
Yan Chu sighed.
"As you wished, now everyone in the palace knows that you are pregnant, and I love you very much. Are you sure you need to do this to protect the child?"
In fact, he did not want to confer the title of Consort Xian on her, nor did he want her to live in the Kunning Palace.
The Queen already regarded her as a thorn in her side, wouldn't she be even crazier because of this incident?
But she took the initiative to ask him to announce it to the palace, to tell everyone that she was favored and that she was pregnant...
Since that was the case, he just followed his heart and wanted to give her the best.
"Last time, I tried my best to conceal my pregnancy, but the result was disappointing. Moreover, I couldn't prevent someone from secretly attacking me, and I had no way to find out the culprit. This time, I hope to be the most favored concubine in the palace and your favorite concubine. Even if you don't think so in your heart, please pretend for the sake of this child..."
"Do I need to pretend? Isn't it too heartless for Shu'er to say this?"
Before she could finish her words, Yan Chu grabbed her waist, which was definitely a threat.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am afraid that you will think that I am relying on your favor and becoming arrogant and domineering, looking down on others, right?"
Shen Zhishu looked aggrieved.
Yan Chu, however, punished her ruthlessly, kissing her and biting her fiercely.
"I swear, I will let the entire palace know that you are the person I care about the most. If you are harmed in the slightest, I will pursue you to the end and will not tolerate it."
He was moved, but he just hugged her tightly, and sweet words of love rang in her ears.
Shen Zhishu also hugged him tightly, unwilling to let go.
But when she thought of what Yunmeng said during the day, she couldn't let it go.
Otherwise tonight...
Just indulge yourself once more and follow your own heart.
Even if she did nothing, she didn't want to let him go.
That night, Yan Chu rested in Kunning Palace.
This continued for the next half month.
He seemed to be telling everyone with his actions that he doted on Concubine Xian extremely, and even though she was pregnant, it could not stop him from staying in Kunning Palace every night.
But his behavior slapped Su Rong in the face.
Her face was burning with pain.
Although she was also pregnant, the emperor rarely came over, saying that she needed to rest and take care of the baby.
That afternoon, another box of jewelry was delivered to Jiaomu Palace.
