Chapter 207 Catch the adulterer
"I love him so much, more than any other woman in this harem. Why can't he see it? Why is his heart and eyes filled with Zhou Lingge..."
She thought of his shining eyes when His Majesty asked about Zhou Lingge, and she felt a strong hatred in her heart.
Yan'er's eyes flickered, she knelt in front of Concubine Shu, her voice full of determination.
"Your Majesty...if this continues, ordinary methods will not work. I'm afraid you will never be able to conceive an heir...It seems His Majesty has truly been bewitched by the Imperial Concubine. He doesn't want to touch any other concubines at all."
As far as she knew, ever since Zhou Lingge entered the palace.
Your Majesty never favored any other woman.
Nowadays, the concubines in the harem were either deposed or died... His Majesty no longer had any fears. Every day, apart from going to Yuanchen Palace, he rested in his own Wolong Palace.
He seemed to have no interest in other women.
I don’t know, when the selection is held and a new and beautiful woman enters the palace, will His Majesty still be as obsessed with Zhou Lingge as before?
Shufei's eyes were red from crying.
In fact, she and Zhou Lingge have no personal grudges.
But... Zhou Lingge stole the man she loved, and that was her enemy.
How could she be soft-hearted towards her love rival?
She now deeply understood that as long as Zhou Lingge was around, His Majesty would never fall in love with her.
What if Zhou Lingge died?
A dark light flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes.
She held the handkerchief and wiped away the tears from her face.
The Queen was too cunning. She pushed Madam Zhou to take the blame for her crime. The power behind her was the Zhou and Song families...
But what about Zhou Lingge? What does she have?
She had nothing. It was impossible for the Zhou family to give up the queen, a legitimate daughter, and turn around to support her, a concubine's daughter, as a royal concubine.
The power behind the queen is too great, and she cannot be overthrown easily.
But Zhou Lingge is different. She is just a little concubine's daughter. What else does she have except the emperor's favor?
Concubine Shu gradually started to think about it in her heart.
She would never allow Zhou Lingge to continue staying by His Majesty's side.
Otherwise, she will never be in His Majesty's eyes.
Concubine Shu bit her lips tightly, and a plan gradually emerged.
"There's no rush to ask His Majesty for a child..."
"As long as she's gone, His Majesty will definitely give me a child based on the bond between me and him. The most urgent task now is to resolve the fundamental issue."
Yan'er's eyes flickered, and she seemed a little excited: "My Lady, what do you mean..."
Concubine Shu called Yan'er over and whispered in her ear.
No one knew what they discussed.
Since Eunuch Liu left, Zhou Lingge actually took a nap on the recliner for a while.
Qiaoer took a woolen blanket and gently draped it over her.
Suddenly, a man dressed in eunuch's clothes walked over from not far away.
Qiao'er felt that the figure was unfamiliar. She frowned and was about to scold... but the eunuch raised his head and gave her a warning look.
Qiao'er's eyes were full of surprise.
Mr. Han?
How did he dress like this and enter Yuanchen Palace?
Han Mubai seemed to understand Qiao'er's doubts. He walked up to Zhou Lingge and smiled bitterly.
"She doesn't want to see me either, so I can only come to see her secretly in this way."
No one could understand how much he was suffering.
He was thinking about her madly.
But he understood better than anyone that there was no possibility for them to be together in this life.
He tried his best to be rational and calm.
But he just couldn't resist the devil in his heart.
The devil is roaring wildly every late night.
Resentment, despair, and pain were like vines, tightly entangling him.
He was literally suffocating and dying.
Qiao'er sighed helplessly.
She retreated silently, leaving Master Han with a rare moment alone with the Empress.
Han Mubai slowly squatted down, his dark eyes staring quietly at Zhou Lingge's sleeping face.
He was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
His palm was even more difficult to control and touched her cheek.
But when his fingertips were close to her skin, they suddenly stopped.
He smiled bitterly and finally withdrew his arm.
He just squatted there, staring at Zhou Lingge's eyes, not knowing how long he had been looking at her.
He looked into her eyes with deep affection, as if they were a boundless and bottomless ocean.
Concubine Shu sent someone to bribe a palace maid who was doing cleaning work in Yuanchen Palace.
The palace maid saw a strange eunuch squatting beside the imperial concubine and gazing at her affectionately. The palace maid immediately sent the news to Fenghe Palace.
When Concubine Shu received the news, her eyes flickered.
She quickly sent someone to check the eunuch's identity.
Unexpectedly, the results she found made her overjoyed.
It’s actually Han Mubai?
Is Zhou Lingge really having an affair with Han Mubai?
This time, she finally got the evidence.
Concubine Shu seemed extremely excited.
"Yan'er, our chance has come."
"Have someone notify the palace maid in Yuanchen Palace... If you find that eunuch sneaking into Yuanchen Palace again, send someone to notify me immediately. I will definitely bring people to catch him in the act."
"Your Majesty dotes on her so much, yet she still thinks about Han Mubai and other men. No man would accept such betrayal."
"If His Majesty knew, wouldn't he be angry?"
Yan'er nodded quickly in response.
Zhou Lingge knew nothing. She didn't know that Han Mubai had disguised himself as a eunuch and secretly visited her, nor did she know that Concubine Shu had caught her with something and was planning to catch them in the act.
Qiao Er felt a little sorry for Han Mubai and thought he was very pitiful. It was obvious that the Empress and he were a pair of lovers made in heaven, but because of the difference in their status, he had to let go of her.
He loved so patiently and painfully.
He wanted to take a sneak peek at his beloved woman. What was wrong with that?
Therefore, Qiao'er did not tell Zhou Lingge that Han Mubai had come to Yuanchen Palace.
She thought that if the queen knew about this, she would definitely be angry and would definitely forbid Master Han from entering Yuanchen Palace.
By then, Mr. Han probably wouldn't have the chance to watch it even if he wanted to secretly.
The draft day is getting closer.
Qin Feiling looked at Zhou Lingge several times, hesitant to speak.
Zhou Lingge couldn't help but chuckle: "Your Majesty, what do you want to say to me?"
"You hesitate every time, which makes me curious."
Qin Feiling held Zhou Lingge's hand with a particularly complicated look in her eyes.
"The day of the selection is almost here. I bear the heavy responsibility of the country and the people. The selection is a rule set by our ancestors, and I cannot easily break this rule..."
He had just begun to speak when Zhou Lingge interrupted him with a smile.
"Your Majesty... I know you have many responsibilities. Selecting concubines to fill your harem is also your responsibility as an emperor, so I don't mind at all."
