"Hmph! Consort Shu is as sharp-tongued as ever," Consort Yang sneered. "But with such a sharp tongue, isn't Consort Shu afraid of ruining her good fortune? After all, in this palace, being able to conceive is not considered a blessing; being able to give birth to a child is what is considered a blessing."

Jiang Chunxi nodded in agreement: "That's so true, Your Highness. Don't worry! I'm sure I'll be blessed to give birth to your child. Unlike you, who was born prematurely, your child was already born alive."

Yang Guifei's expression instantly turned horrified, her eyes practically threatening to devour Jiang Chunxi alive.

"My goodness! This is terrifying!" Jiang Chunxi exaggeratedly patted her chest. "Luckily, I'm not a coward, otherwise I would have been terrified by the Imperial Concubine's man-eating appearance."

"Your Highness, that's enough!" It was Consort Rou's voice. "How can you do this, using someone else's child to stab them in the heart? It's better to have some decency in your words, lest the retribution fall on your own child."

“I will remember what Consort Rou said,” Jiang Chunxi said, looking at Consort Rou with a half-smile. “I will tell His Majesty what Consort Rou said in full, so that His Majesty will not be unaware of Consort Rou’s great concern for the imperial heir.”

Consort Rou's face immediately turned pale: "Your Highness, I was only trying to give you some advice. Did you have to harbor such malice towards me and try to kill me?"

"Oh!" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "So this is how much I care about you, wanting the Emperor to know how devoted you, Consort Rou, are to the imperial heirs. This is tantamount to ruthlessly eliminating Consort Rou!"

"Tsk tsk! I really can't figure out the logic behind Consort Rou's words. It's fortunate that Consort Rou is just a concubine in the harem and not a judge in the Dali Temple. Otherwise, according to your logic, the wronged souls who died unjustly at your hands would probably form a long line on the Bridge of Helplessness."

Consort Rou was both angry and furious, and the expression on her face was so vivid that it made people want to laugh. You didn't see that several other concubines were secretly laughing behind their handkerchiefs.

"The Empress is here."

As soon as the Empress appeared, everyone immediately stood up and bowed to her.

After the Empress asked everyone to rise, she inquired about the baby in Jiang Chunxi's womb and then told Jiang Chunxi that she no longer needed to come and pay her respects until after the baby was born.

This was not a special treatment given to Jiang Chunxi by the Empress. Whenever any of the concubines in the harem became pregnant, the Empress would exempt them from paying their respects.

In a sense, the Empress was indeed virtuous and kind, and never harbored any malicious intentions towards the pregnant concubines.

Of course, that's all. She only guarantees that she won't harm pregnant concubines, but she also won't protect them so they can give birth safely. After all, she's not a Buddha or Bodhisattva.

As she emerged from the Empress's palace, Consort Yang stared coldly at Jiang Chunxi's belly: "Consort Shu should take good care of the imperial fetus in her womb. I'd like to see if you, Consort Shu, are fortunate enough to give birth to the child."

“Then Your Highness will have to watch closely,” Jiang Chunxi gave Yang Guifei a smug look. “Don’t let Your Highness get conjunctivitis after I safely give birth to the child, just like you have been looking like you have conjunctivitis from the moment you gave birth.”

"Ha!" Jiang Chunxi then sneered and sat in the sedan chair, which was a gift from the Emperor because she was pregnant with the imperial heir.
