Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1180 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 104

Concubine Qi was ready to take action against Concubine Ning, but she was not smart. Even though she knew she had to get rid of Concubine Ning and the baby in her belly, she couldn't find a way to do it in the short term. She couldn't just go up and push Concubine Ning to the ground when she went out for a walk!

The four first-class palace maids in Jingren Palace were nervously monitoring the entire harem, even the Cining Palace, Ningshou Palace and Shoukang Palace were not spared. After all, there had been a Concubine Shu before, so Concubine Qi's restless appearance attracted special attention.

As the Third Wife, Qingying's identity and status would definitely be affected by the actions of Concubine Qi and the Third Prince. So when she found out that Concubine Qi had some complaints about Concubine Ning's pregnancy, she had been paying attention to what was happening in Changchun Palace.

When she went to pay her respects to Concubine Qi, she accidentally heard Concubine Qi say that the baby in Concubine Ning's belly would affect the status of the Third Prince. She pushed the door open and warned Concubine Qi sternly, "Mother, you are also an old harem veteran who came from the Qiandi Palace. No matter if you were in the harem of the previous emperor or in the harem of the Emperor's father, anyone who attacks the heir to the throne will not have a good end!"

"Mother, you haven't personally experienced many dirty things, and you are still somewhat... naive. Don't think that if the Ning concubine's baby is gone, the Third Prince will really rise to the top. Little do you know, if you make a mistake, the Third Prince will definitely have no future. After all, the Li family is really not as good as the Shen family. The Third Prince will also be targeted by other concubines in the harem because he has a mother who plotted to murder his siblings."

"Even if you can save your life because of the Third Prince, he will lose all protection and be branded as a man who killed his brothers. He will be helpless and will have no choice but to be slaughtered."

Qingying felt that she had said it very bluntly, and all she had to do was grab her cheap mother-in-law, Concubine Qi, by the collar and ask her to behave herself and not resort to any tricks or spread any bad rumors that would add another scandal to the Third Prince's already terrible image.

Although Concubine Qi regretted that she was blind and insisted on marrying Qingying, a girl from the Ulanara clan, which made the Third Prince's backyard somewhat uneasy, she had a natural fear of such noble ladies from a large Manchu family. So even though she was Qingying's mother-in-law and an elder, and her status naturally allowed her to suppress her daughter-in-law, Qingying, she could only say a few words behind her back and did not dare to embarrass Qingying in person.

Now seeing Qingying's serious face with her eyebrows raised, and even the contempt and impatience in her eyes that she could barely conceal, the string in her head suddenly broke. She stood up angrily and pointed at Qingying's nose and scolded her: "You are just from a poor family. How dare you shout in front of me?!"

"Why don't you go ask around? The scandals that Queen Chunyuan caused back then weren't all good news!"

"What decent princess would dance in public at her brother-in-law's house!"

"You are from a poor family, and you dare to talk back to your mother-in-law!"

"Go out and kneel down! Don't even think about it until I've calmed down!"

When Qingying was at home, she was a high and mighty aunt. No girl in the clan could compare to her, so she knew from a young age that she was different from others. Even when she went out to visit others and some people said something sarcastic, she would just think that they were jealous of her.

It was not her wish to marry the third prince, but Ulanara had lost the protection of the queen, and the whole family hoped that she could marry a prince, and preferably become the next queen and continue to protect the family.

However, a piece of bad news spread throughout the capital. Even though she successfully married the third prince whom she disliked, she also missed the chance to become the queen.

It took her a lot of time to accept this fact, and even more time to deal with the relationship with the Third Prince and his mother-in-law, Concubine Qi. Now she no longer wants to think about anything else and just wants to have a child as soon as possible to maintain her and Ulanara's dignity. Of course, nothing must happen to Concubine Qi and the Third Prince and their son.

Qingying was equally angry. She really looked down on Concubine Qi, this ignorant mother-in-law. So when the palace maid beside Concubine Qi actually dared to come forward and try to pull her out, she simply raised her hand, grabbed Concubine Qi's finger, and twisted it with her backhand.

The pain made Concubine Qi scream and groan for a while. Ah Ruo was a smart person and quickly blocked the palace servants who surrounded her from entering the door: "Think carefully, our princess is the third wife who was married by the emperor himself. Even if she is to be punished, it should be the empress who speaks to the emperor!"

"All of you don't want to clean up the mess for your master, but you dare to help the tyrant?!"

Concubine Qi was not a difficult master to serve. She could even be considered one of the easiest masters to serve in the palace. Most people who were willing to serve in Concubine Qi's palace came here in the hope of seeking stability.

They didn't hear Qingying's words just now, but most of the things Concubine Qi said were heard. If these were to get out of Changchun Palace, they would all be implicated.

So after thinking about it, Cuihua, the leader, retreated again, and at the same time, quickly kept her mouth shut according to A Ruo's suggestion.

In the room, Qingying directly shook off Cuiguo who tried to pull her away and stared straight at Concubine Qi. The disgust and impatience in her eyes poured out without reservation, and the words in her mouth were even more poisonous, "Madam Qi, the concubines in the harem can be unintelligent, but they must not be stupid."

"Your own stupidity has at most endangered your own life, but now you have the Third Prince, and the Third Prince has married me. I cannot allow you two, a pair of extremely stupid mother and son, to be implicated, so please behave yourself, don't spread any bad words, and don't do anything to anyone."

"Otherwise, I will go to the Yangxin Palace and ask the Emperor for a divorce letter, even at the cost of the Ulanara family's reputation."

"Don't say I can't do it. You should understand better than me how much my aunt, Queen Chunyuan, means to the Emperor."

"It's true that my Ulanara family has fallen on hard times, but we are still far behind the Li family. If you cause me trouble again, I will have to show you what tricks the impoverished Ulanara family can use on the Li family."

After saying that, Qingying let go of Concubine Qi's hand with disgust, turned around and walked out of the main hall of Changchun Palace with A Ruo. After venting her anger today, she did not lose her mind and leave herself with endless troubles. She stood in the corridor and made the palace maids of Changchun Palace block the news, and then she returned to A'ge's residence with satisfaction.

Concubine Qi, who was released by Qingying in the room, felt her legs go limp and she fell to the ground. Cuiguo didn't dare to shout out loud. She went forward and hugged and pulled Concubine Qi for a long time but failed to help her up. Instead, she was exhausted and sat on the ground with Concubine Qi for a long time before she recovered her strength.

Qingying couldn't rest after returning to the prince's residence. Since she could hear Concubine Qi's various complaints about the prince in Concubine Ning's belly, perhaps others would also know that even stones in this palace could speak. She thought of asking the Third Prince to go before the Emperor to express his regard and love for the unborn prince in Concubine Ning's belly. If Concubine Qi exploded one day, at least the Third Prince could be saved.

However, she overestimated the Third Prince's intelligence, and underestimated his dislike for her. He left without saying a word. Seeing that the Third Prince could not be helped up, Qingying touched her aching belly, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. After a long while, she finally made up her mind and asked A Ruo to ask the imperial physician to come and check her pulse. "A Ruo, maybe I'm pregnant..."
