Chapter 386: The Concubine Who Was Buried with the Emperor VS The Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 34
Because of the dog emperor's preference, not many people paid attention to Yu Yao. They were all jealous of Liu Mengyan.

"Sister Qin, let's go together."

Lady Shu walked up to Yu Yao and spoke softly.

Yu Yao looked at Lady Shu who came closer and nodded slightly, "Okay."

The two were about to go back when they saw Liu Baolin, Qian Changzai and Zhou Da Ying coming over.

Although Liu Baolin had a smile on his face, he could not hide his envy and jealousy in his eyes, "Sister Qin, Sister Shu, congratulations to you. I am so envious."

Qian Changzai lowered her eyes slightly to hide her inner jealousy, and when she raised her eyes again, they were full of sincere blessings, but her slightly clenched hands betrayed her.

"Yes, my sisters have won the emperor's favor and have a dragon heir. They will definitely have a bright future. I hope that my sisters can give birth to a dragon son safely and bring happiness to the royal family."

Zhou agreed to stand aside, a little reserved, with envy in his eyes, "Sister Qin, Sister Shu, congratulations to you. I also hope to have such good luck as you sisters."

Yu Yao looked at the three people. Normally, these three people didn't talk to her much, and they only greeted each other when they met. Now they came close to her in a friendly manner, so they might have other intentions.

She hid the thoughts in her eyes and smiled lightly, "My three sisters, you are too kind. This is all the grace of the Emperor and the Empress. My sisters will surely have such blessings in the future."

Everyone can say polite words, but what one really thinks in his heart is another matter.

Lady Shu nodded slightly, with a hint of caution in her eyes, "Thank you for your blessings, my three sisters. Now that I'm pregnant, I have to be careful."

This is her hope for the future, so she naturally has to be extra careful.

Even when facing Liu Baolin, Qian Changzai, and Zhou Daxing, who had a good relationship with her, she did not let down her guard.

People’s hearts are hidden, who knows what these people are thinking?
Is he planning to kill her so he can take away the baby in her belly?
Liu Baolin was a little unhappy to see Lady Shu being so cautious, but she smiled and said, "Sister Shu is right. You should be careful when you are pregnant. I will pray for you and wish you all the best."

Qian Changzai and Zhou Da Ying echoed on the side.

Yu Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, with a vigilant look, "Thank you three sisters for your concern. We should go back now, so I won't talk to you any more."

These three people are not innocent, especially Qian Changzai and Zhou Da Ying. They are really cruel when it comes to revenge. I heard that Miao Cairen was tortured so badly by them that he looked like neither human nor ghost.

Shu Meiren also agreed, "Yes, we will go back first, and take care of yourselves, my sister."

After saying that, he took Yu Yao away.

Liu Baolin, Qian Changzai and Zhou Da Ying looked at their departing backs with different expressions.

Liu Baolin's eyes flashed with resentment, "Jieyu Qin has always been favored, so it's nothing for her to be pregnant, but why is Concubine Shu so lucky? She got pregnant in just one time, it's really enviable."

People are like this. They won't be jealous of those who are much better than themselves, but will only be jealous of those who are not much different from them.

Qian Changzai frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and said nothing, no one knew what he was thinking.

Zhou agreed to stand there and remain silent.

Although the three of them had different thoughts, they left quickly.

Concubine Zhuang took in the entire scene, sighed softly, and then left.

She no longer expected to be favored by the emperor. She only hoped to have a child to relieve her loneliness in the palace and avoid being buried alive with the emperor in the future.

But the emperor did not favor her, so even if she wanted to get pregnant, she couldn't.

Concubine Lu took in the expressions of several people, a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes, she chuckled, and left quickly.

Here, Yu Yao and Concubine Shu had just returned to Yihe Palace. Before they could even sit down, they heard the eunuch's high and sharp voice from outside the door: "The imperial edict has arrived. Concubine Qin and Concubine Shu, please accept it!"

It was Lu Xi who came to announce the decree.

Upon hearing the imperial edict, the two of them quickly tidied their appearance, came out of their houses, looked at each other with a smile, and then knelt in the yard to receive the edict.

Lu Xi walked into the Yihe Hall holding the bright yellow imperial edict, with a gentle smile on his face. His eyes lingered on Yu Yao for a moment, then he unfolded the imperial edict and read it:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Concubine Qin Yu is gentle and virtuous, with both talent and virtue. She is now pregnant, which is a blessing for the royal family. She is specially appointed as a noble concubine and granted the residence in Xinghua Palace to honor her virtue. Concubine Shu Li is dignified and polite, and is also pregnant with a dragon descendant. She is promoted to a noble lady to encourage her. I hope you will continue to abide by the rules of being a woman and continue the royal bloodline. I decree this."

Yu Yao and Lady Shu responded in unison: "Your Highness obeys your command and thanks you for your grace."

After Lu Xi finished reading, he looked at Yu Yao with a smile, his tone full of familiarity and congratulations: "Your Highness, congratulations! This is a double blessing, the emperor thinks highly of you."

Yu Yao smiled softly, her expression gentle: "Thank you for your kind words, Eunuch Lu, and I'd also like to trouble you to come here in person."

Lu Xi waved his hands quickly: "No, no, it is a blessing for me to be able to serve you, Your Majesty."

Then, he said meaningfully: "This Xinghua Palace is a good place, with pleasant scenery and quietness. There are no other concubines living here, so it is the best place to nurture a baby. I'm sure Your Majesty will like it very much."

Yu Yao was slightly startled. The Xinghua Palace was in the west six palaces, and it was quite a distance away from the Taihe Hall and Fengyi Palace.

It was also the palace where the original owner once lived, but the original owner lived in a side room in the back hall at that time.

After Emperor Jing ascended the throne, because the Xinghua Palace was relatively remote, no concubine was willing to live there, so it remained empty. He never expected that the dog emperor would let him live there.

Although it is a bit remote, the environment is really good and is indeed very suitable for fetal development.

When Lady Shu heard that Yu Yao’s new palace was the Xinghua Palace, she frowned slightly.

The environment of Xinghua Palace is good, but it is located at the southernmost of the West Six Palaces, adjacent to the laundry bureau, and few people go there. She really couldn't understand why the emperor would let Sister Qin live so far away when she was so favored?
There are many empty palaces in the East Six Palaces?
Yu Yao smiled slightly and exchanged a knowing look with Lu Xi, "Thank you, eunuch. This Xinghua Palace is really nice. Please convey my gratitude to the emperor on my behalf."

Lu Xi nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Madam, I will convey it to you."

Then he said a few polite words and left.

After Lu Xi left, Lady Shu frowned slightly and said with a puzzled look on her face: "Sister Qin, this Xinghua Palace is located in a remote place. It is really puzzling to understand the emperor's arrangement. How could my sister be arranged there when she is so favored?"

Yu Yao gently patted Lady Shu's hand and said calmly, "Don't worry, sister. The emperor may have his own intentions in doing this. Although this Xinghua Palace is far away, it is also quiet. It is just right for me to rest and take care of my baby and avoid all the disturbances."

She really thought that Xinghua Palace was great, with a quiet environment and no one to disturb her, making it the best place to nurture a baby.

Lady Shu nodded slightly, but still looked a little worried: "That being said, my sister is far away from the emperor, and those with ulterior motives might take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."

Yu Yao smiled calmly: "It's okay, we just need to be careful and do our duty. The emperor has his own considerations in mind."

Not only Shu Meiren didn't understand, even Amber and Liuli didn't understand. How could the Queen, who was so favored, be assigned to a place like Xinghua Palace?
Those who didn't know might have thought that the empress had done something wrong and made the emperor angry, so he sent her away.

But seeing that the Queen looked calm, and even very happy, Amber and Liuli didn't know what to say.

He just quietly packed up his things and started moving to Xinghua Palace.

The news that Yu Yao was granted the right to live in Xinghua Palace spread quickly throughout the harem.

In the harem, news spread very quickly.

Lady Liu and Zhang Ronghua were sitting in the pavilion in the imperial garden.

Lady Liu gently waved the round fan in her hand, with a hint of sneer on her lips: "Humph, I thought that Concubine Qin would always be favored, but now it seems that she is just so-so. As soon as Concubine Shu appeared, she was driven to the remote Xinghua Palace. It really is a matter of time."

She was once speechless after being scolded by Yu Yao in Fengyi Palace, and she hated her in her heart. She was originally jealous of the other party's favor and pregnancy, but now she was gloating over her misfortune.

Zhang Ronghua did not have any ill feelings towards Yu Yao, but he felt sad in his heart that the emperor's favor was really unpredictable and could change at any time.

Concubine Qin is still pregnant, but the emperor doesn't care at all. He is really heartless.

Although he thought so, he agreed with her, "Isn't it? Living so far away, it will not be easy to see the emperor in the future."

Lady Liu covered her mouth and chuckled, "This is what happened to Yu Yao. She used to be so arrogant because of the emperor's favor. Now, she is outshined by the newcomer. Let's see how arrogant she will be in the future."

Yingyue Palace.

When Concubine Lu learned that Yu Yao actually lived in such a remote place as Xinghua Palace, she burst into hearty laughter, her laughter was sharp and piercing.

"Hahaha, bitch, you have finally come to this day. I thought you were so favored, but it seems that you are just like this. Aren't you still banished by the emperor to live in such a remote place? God really has a good eye."

Concubine Lu's face was full of sarcasm, and her eyes were full of pride and contempt.

She stood up and paced back and forth in the palace, continuing, "You are like this even when you are pregnant. It seems that you are nothing but a pitiful creature."

After laughing, a hint of ruthlessness and calculation flashed in Concubine Lu's eyes.

Originally, because that bitch was in favor, and she was also very slippery, there was no chance to attack her, which was why she was able to get away with it.

Now that that bitch lives in Xinghua Palace, it will be much easier to take action against her.

Concubine Lu narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking about how to teach the other party a lesson.

"Someone come here." Concubine Lu gave an order and Cuiwei stepped forward immediately.

Concubine Lu lowered her voice and said, "Find a way to plant a few people in the Xinghua Palace and find an opportunity to strike. I will make sure that bitch can't give birth to the baby in her belly."

Without the child, that bitch will be like mud in the ground, and she will be trampled on by anyone.

"Yes, ma'am."

Cuiwei knew that the queen hated Concubine Qin, so she responded respectfully and went down to carry out the queen's order.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jing sat at the desk, playing with a jade pendant in his hand with a solemn expression.

After a moment, he put down the jade pendant and clapped his hands.

Several palace guards dressed in black and with tall postures suddenly appeared in front of him. They had stern faces, sharp eyes, and exuded a terrifying aura.

Emperor Jing raised his eyes slightly and ordered in a cold voice: "You guys, quickly go and hide near the Xinghua Palace. Make sure to ensure the safety of Concubine Qin, and don't slack off in the slightest. If there is any mistake, bring your head to me."

Several imperial guards knelt on one knee and responded in unison: "We will follow your Majesty's orders."

Then, they left quickly like ghosts and disappeared in the imperial study in the blink of an eye.

After these people leave.

Emperor Jing then instructed Lu Xi who was standing by his side, "Lu Xi, quickly select a few reliable maids in the palace who have experience with pregnant women, and arrange for them to stay in the Xinghua Palace to ensure the safety of Concubine Qin."

Eunuch Lu Xi quickly responded, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will carefully select and fulfill my mission."

The entire harem thought that Concubine Shu was the emperor's new favorite, but little did they know that Concubine Qin was the one the emperor really protected.

If anyone dares to jump out at this time without having eyes, he will definitely die a miserable death.
