Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 106: The Gloomy Eunuch and the Imperial Concubine (9)

Li Jieyu paused, a trace of panic flashed across her face, but she quickly concealed it and said sarcastically:

"Whether this master drinks tea or not is none of your business, a nobleman?"

Ruan Guannan smiled slightly and said helplessly:

"Look at what my sister said. You keep an eye on my sister's fabrics every day to make sure they are different. How can I ignore my sister?

Seeing that my sister has come to pay her respects for many days, she has not even touched the snacks on the table. People who know that my sister doesn’t like these would think that my sister is happy. Who is she guarding against?

wow...

In an instant, everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Concubine Li's belly, wishing they could stare a hole in it.

Li Jieyu was shocked and subconsciously raised her hand to protect her lower abdomen, then quickly put her hand down.

But the people present were not fools, and her actions made everyone more certain.

The Queen was startled, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes as she looked at Concubine Li, and she said in a calm voice:

"Li Jieyu, is this true?"

Li Jieyu glared at Ruan Guannan with hatred, then quickly stood up and said with a smile:

"I was feeling unwell a few days ago. After the imperial physician's examination, I learned that I was already more than a month pregnant. I wanted to inform Your Majesty when I was feeling better."

After getting the exact news, everyone's expressions changed.

There has been no birth in the palace in the three years since the emperor ascended the throne.

Several concubines had been pregnant before, but the pregnancies did not last long and none of them survived.

The four princes under the emperor's lap were all born before he ascended the throne.

Many ministers in the court privately discussed that the emperor might be in poor health.

There were even many rumors circulating among the people, saying that he had succeeded to the throne in an improper way and had disrupted the order, and that he was being punished for his actions.

The emperor was furious when he heard this, and he sent the city patrol officer to investigate the people who spread the rumors. Once they were caught, they were executed directly. This shocked the public and quelled the rumors.

From this, everyone knew the emperor's urgency for having an heir.

This Concubine Li suddenly became pregnant, especially at such a sensitive and critical moment. Wouldn't it be like she would rise to fame by having a child?

Everyone was filled with jealousy, and Concubine Li gnashed her teeth in hatred, but she could only congratulate them with a stiff face.

The Queen also quickly sent someone to inform the Emperor. Everyone could imagine that Concubine Li would soon become even more glorious.

After the greetings were dispersed, Ruan Guannan deliberately slowed down his pace and walked in front at a leisurely pace.

Gu Xiran behind him looked at the figure in front of him, feeling very hesitant.

But there was no way to go back, so I had to follow behind.

When they were a little further away, Ruan Guannan simply stopped and stood there waiting for her to come forward.

Gu Xiran knew that there was no way to avoid it, so she could only step forward and bow obediently.

After finishing the job, he wanted to turn around and leave, but as soon as he turned around, the person behind him grabbed his collar and pulled him hard.

Gu Xiran was horrified and shouted angrily:

"Ruan Guannan, let me go. We are both the emperor's concubines, don't even think about touching a hair on my head!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp "pop" sound was heard.

Gu Xiran covered her red face and looked at her in disbelief.

In an instant, the anger in her eyes burst out, almost burning away her sanity.

"Bitch, you dare to hit me?"

Her shrill voice almost pierced my eardrums.

Gu Xiran subconsciously raised her hand and wanted to fight back, but as soon as she raised it, Ruan Guannan held it tightly.

There was a flash of coldness in Ruan Guannan's eyes, and the strength in his hands continued to increase.

Nanzhi and Yuejian, who were standing nearby, almost heard the "crack" sound of the bones being dislocated.

Gu Xiran screamed in pain. Her maid realized something was wrong and turned around to run for help.

As a result, Yuejian and Nanzhi quickly pinned him to the ground, unable to move.

Gu Xiran finally felt scared, and she said in a trembling voice:

"Mr. Ruan, please be magnanimous. Please don't argue with me. I will never dare to do that again."

After hearing this, Ruan Guannan pressed his wrist casually and it returned to normal.

She wiped her hands carelessly with a handkerchief and said softly:

"Gu Cairen, you have been rude to me and provoked me many times.

This noble lady really cannot bear to be wronged, so let us, Gu Cairen, kneel here for two hours."

Gu Xiran was extremely angry, but did not dare to refute anything. He could only kneel down obediently, lowering his head and keeping silent.

Ruan Guannan supported Yuejian and said thoughtfully as they walked:

"Ms. Gu has worked hard and helped me to vent my anger. You can send her some fabric later so that she won't have to look at others every day."

Yue Jian smiled and quickly agreed.

Gu Xiran, who was kneeling not far away, was so angry that she fell backwards, looking at Ruan Guannan with resentment.

On this side, after the emperor left the court, he soon learned the news that Concubine Li was pregnant, and he was overjoyed.

He had been on the throne for more than three years, and good news finally came from the harem. He was so happy that he felt much better.

Now that Concubine Li is pregnant, it is like a timely relief for him, solving his biggest headache.

Therefore, the emperor's joy was very obvious. With a wave of his hand, the rewards flowed into the Yun'en Pavilion like water.

She was directly promoted to the third-rank noble concubine and given the title "Yi".

As an exception, she was allowed to move to a palace where only concubines of the second rank were qualified to live, and the palace was renamed Yun'en Palace.

The empress followed the emperor's footsteps closely and received constant rewards, so the other concubines had no choice but to grit their teeth and keep up.

Even though they wish the other person to die, they have to take out their valuables and say goodbye with a smile. This is why everyone wants to climb to a higher position.

For a time, Concubine Li, oh no, it was Concubine Yi, was almost the most popular and became the most proud person in the palace.
