Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 217: Bed Climbing Palace Maid 31

"No, we can't do anything to Concubine Rong for the time being." Wei Yan felt resentful and murderous towards Ying Rui again, but he suppressed it. "I have served the emperor for so long, and I can see that the emperor really loves Concubine Rong."

"If Concubine Rong is disfigured, the Emperor will be furious and investigate thoroughly. If that happens, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky. What's more, the Second Prince will soon be infected with smallpox. If Concubine Rong is disfigured at this critical moment, the Emperor's wrath can be imagined. So Concubine Rong cannot be touched for the time being, unless Concubine Chen insists on taking the risk, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"But I won't risk my life to accompany Concubine Chen. Although I like you and am willing to do things for Concubine Chen for you, I also have to consider my master. If I am found out, will my master not be implicated by me?"

"Your master, your master, do you really care about your master that much?" Yingrui said unhappily, "Don't you have the ambition to climb up and replace your master as the eunuch in front of the emperor?"

"How can you be so useless?" Yingrui poked Wei Yan's head with her hand. "It's already hard enough for me to follow a eunuch like you, but you are still so useless. Do you want to make me suffer for the rest of my life?"

"I am just such a loser," Wei Yan's expression turned cold. "If you really look down on me and think that being with me is unfair to you, then we should break up. Although I, Wei Yan, like you, I also know myself. Since I know that you look down on me, there is no need for me to stoop to having you."

"Do you really have to piss me off like this?" Yingrui's tone softened as she spoke. "I know my words must have hurt your self-esteem, but I was thinking about you after all! You are only one step away from that position. As long as you pull your master down, you can become the chief eunuch in front of the emperor."

"And you have to know that your master is against us being together. In your heart, is your master more important than me? What's more, I only asked you to pull your master down, not to stop you from ignoring your master. When your master retires from the position of chief eunuch in front of the emperor, you can still be filial to him!"

"So I just can't understand why you just..."

"Stop talking," Wei Yan interrupted Yingrui and looked at her with a very cold look, "Leave right now, I don't want to see you again. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, my master's position in my heart is unmatched by anyone, not even you."

"I can tell you this! I, Wei Yan, can live without you, Yingrui, and I will never betray my master. It seems that I have to carefully examine the relationship between us. Are you, Yingrui, really worthy of my love?"

"Wei Yan, I think you are crazy." In fact, it was Ying Rui who was going crazy. "Okay, okay, since your master is so important to you, then you should stay with your master! I will never talk to you again."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yingrui started walking away.

Of course, she was retreating to advance, wanting Wei Yan to hold her back and coax her.

But Yingrui never expected that Wei Yan had no intention of stopping her from leaving, and had no intention of coaxing her at all.

This made Yingrui even angrier, so she simply quickened her pace and left. She decided that this time, no matter what, she would give Wei Yan the cold shoulder for a while and teach him a profound lesson.

But Yingrui was really angry and hateful.

She really didn't expect that in Wei Yan's heart, his master was much more important than her, his lover. This made Yingrui really unacceptable. She felt that Wei Yan was really insulting her. She didn't even mind that Wei Yan was a eunuch and was willing to be with him.

But how did Wei Yan treat her? He actually regarded her as less important than his master. How could Yingrui not be angry?

What Yingrui didn't know was how murderous Wei Yan was as he watched her leave.

Two days passed quickly, and it was confirmed that Concubine Liu's son had contracted smallpox, which caused panic among everyone in the harem. After all, smallpox is highly contagious.

Of course, there were also people who gloated over her misfortune, such as Concubine Chun and Concubine Jing. After all, if Concubine Liu's son died, their sons would have one less competitor, and they would not have to go through the trouble of getting rid of Concubine Liu's son.

The queen did not gloat over his misfortune, but it was undeniable that she felt relieved.

After all, Concubine Liu's family background still posed a great threat to the Queen and her son. However, despite this, the Queen had never thought of harming anyone. Her conscience prevented her from harming the child. Otherwise, could she still be considered a human being?

A few days later, Concubine Liu's son died.

After her son's death, Concubine Liu went completely crazy and was determined to find the murderer who killed her son, because she simply couldn't believe that her son would be infected with smallpox for no reason.

As for the Emperor...

This was the first time the emperor lost a son. It was impossible to say that he was not sad, but it wasn't much.

After all, the emperor was able to fight his way out of the many princes of the previous emperor, so his heart must have become extremely cold-hearted.

Of course, he also knew that Concubine Liu's son must have died at the hands of the women in the harem, but so what?

He and his mother had gone through the same process, so his future successor must also go through a series of hardships before he is qualified to become the ruler of the entire dynasty.

Therefore, he did not stop the fighting among the women in the harem, nor did he take any action to protect the children.

In fact, what the emperor did was like raising a Gu, and emperors like him are the most terrifying because they are cold-blooded enough.

The results of Concubine Liu's final investigation naturally pointed to Concubine Chun. Although there was no evidence and it was just suspicion, Concubine Liu had already determined that Concubine Chun was the murderer.

Therefore, not long after, Concubine Chun's son was poisoned. Although he was rescued, his body was ruined and it was unclear whether he could live to adulthood.

"Good, good, good, it's really good," said Concubine Chen happily, "Concubine Liu really didn't let me down. She ruined Concubine Chun's son with one move. They are both damn bitches. Watching them fight each other, I feel really relieved."

"It's just a pity that we can't do anything to that bitch Rong Guiren for now." When Jiang Chunxi was mentioned, Concubine Chen's face turned ugly. "Yingrui, go find Wei Yan and tell him that Rong Guiren is really an eyesore for me, and ask him to find a way to ruin Rong Guiren's reputation for me."

"Your Highness," Yingrui said with embarrassment, "In fact, I think what Wei Yan said makes sense. At this critical moment, it is really not appropriate for us to take action against Noble Lady Rong, especially since Concubine Chun is probably going crazy now. If we take action against Noble Lady Rong at this time, it might arouse the suspicion of Concubine Liu and Concubine Chun, which would be bad."
