Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 781: Conspiracy!

"Chirping, chirping!"

The cicadas began to sing on the branches, evoking a summer atmosphere. Long Yue, with her big belly, walked along the winding corridor.

The corridor had railings, allowing one to lean against them and look out.

Beneath the corridor was a lotus pond, with blossoms already in full bloom. Red and golden koi swam in the pond, happily swishing their tails, bringing joy to those who watched.

Long Yue reached into her arms, took out a handful of fish food, and sprinkled it among the lively fish, which immediately rushed forward to compete for food.

"Playing with fish among flowers, how delightful this is."

A gentle voice rang out from behind. Long Yue turned around and saw a figure. She bowed slightly, and the other person returned the gesture.

"I haven’t seen Princess Consort Jing coming out these past few days. Is your health okay?"

Princess Consort Jing caressed her belly, a gentle look in her eyes: "I’m fine, just that this child is restless, and it’s been exhausting these past few days."

"I’ll have His Majesty come to see you later."

Long Yue smiled.

It wasn’t that she was so magnanimous, but because this child wasn’t Li Qingmu’s; it belonged to a guard by his side, Yang Shiqi.

Yang Shiqi and Zhang Liulang had come from the Dazhou region as secret agents. Once they were discovered, but Li Qingmu saved them, and now they’re his trusted aides, handling matters for him.

Previously, Rong Si suggested that Li Qingmu should distribute his favors evenly and not just favor Ming Fei. To appease him, Li Qingmu had Yang Shiqi accompany him.

He even used some drugs to numb the nerves, causing hallucinations.

Well, that fooled Rong Si, but it also brought trouble as Princess Consort Jing became pregnant.

This is really awkward!

But since a small life is innocent, Li Qingmu, upon realizing that Yang Shiqi genuinely liked Princess Consort Jing, had no choice but to let her keep the child.

So, although Li Qingmu often came to Long Yue’s place, he occasionally went to Princess Consort Jing’s place, allowing Yang Shiqi to see them.

You have to fill in the pit you dug yourself!

Long Yue gazed at Princess Consort Jing’s belly with warmth in her eyes, which made Princess Consort Jing happy. Ming Fei was indeed a generous person!

If it were another concubine, they would wish to monopolize the Emperor and would never suggest the Emperor see other concubines.

This increased Princess Consort Jing’s good impression of Long Yue.

"Father said I’ll give birth in half a month, so I should walk around now to facilitate the delivery later."

"Yes, having a child is a major event. Everyone says childbirth is like stepping half a foot into the gate of hell, and I’m a bit anxious."

"Sister, don’t be afraid. There are many good midwives in the palace who can ensure our child’s safe birth."

"Well, I hope so."

Not far away, Princess Consort De was also taking a walk. She saw Ming Fei and Princess Consort Jing from a distance, and jealousy flared in her eyes.

Why does the Emperor favor only these two?

When Li Qingmu only favored Long Yue, they could complain to Rong Si about how she monopolized the Emperor, but now there’s another Princess Consort Jing sharing attention, making it hard for them to stir any trouble without annoying Rong Si.

Moreover, since both are pregnant, the Emperor is bound to care for them. Once they give birth, he could visit their places under the pretext of seeing the heirs.

Then they would have even less chance.

Thinking of this, she became really angry!

With this thought, Princess Consort De bit her silver teeth in anger!

"Your Highness, now they’re both favored because of their children."

"Hmph, what favor with children? Who knows what they’ll give birth to? If neither of them gives birth to a boy, I doubt they’ll maintain their favor!"

Princess Consort De said acidly.

"Your Highness, what if they both have boys?"

The palace maid beside Princess Consort De suddenly spoke, a cunning gleam in her eyes.

Two boys? Wouldn’t that be worse?

Princess Consort De was about to scold the maid when a thought suddenly struck her, and she said happily: "Two boys, ha-ha, wouldn’t they then compete for the Emperor’s position for their sons? How could they remain sisterly then?"

The maid smiled: "Indeed, they might come to blows then, and Your Highness can just sit back and watch the show!"

"Watch the show? Ha-ha, not only that, we’ll add fuel to their fire then!"

Princess Consort De let out a sharp, cold laugh with a venomous glint in her eyes.

There’s no need to deal with Princess Consort Jing; she lacks combat power. After all, her father is the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau and highly skilled in medicine. My own father often secretly seeks her father for treatment. It’s better not to provoke her.

But this Ming Fei is truly detestable!

She must deal with this wretch and make her regret being born into this world!

She suddenly turned to her maid: "Have midwives been arranged for Ming Fei and Princess Consort Jing’s childbirths?"

Upon hearing this, the maid was startled and quickly replied: "Your Highness, don’t! The Princess has always been fond of the children Ming Fei and Princess Consort Jing are carrying. If anything goes wrong, she will definitely investigate it thoroughly, and at that time, Your Highness..."

"Shut up!" Princess Consort De angrily interrupted, "When did I ever say to harm their unborn children?"

This stupid maid truly deserved a beating!

The maid turned pale with fear and quickly knelt: "Forgive me, Your Highness, the servant spoke out of line. It was the servant’s fault..."

"Hmph, I only thought to have the best midwives for them, so as to avoid any confusion with the heirs!"

The maid paused, surprised: "Your Highness, do you mean to say you’re worried they might..."

"Ha-ha, anything is possible. After all, mothers are honored by sons! If they only give birth to a princess, in order to secure favoritism and future claims to the throne, they might even bring in a boy from outside! How despicable would that be? How could the offspring of the Imperials be so played with?"

This maid was a trusted aide of Princess Consort De, brought from her own family, often helping her with schemes. Upon hearing Princess Consort De’s plan, she understood immediately.

They certainly wouldn’t touch the children; that was the reverse scale of Princess Rong Si, and whoever dared touch it would be signing their own death warrant!

But if they framed Long Yue for "confusing the Imperial Family’s bloodline" instead?

This nearly amounted to treason, and who could defend her then?

Even the Emperor would have to consider the law, the dignity of the Emperor, and the face of the Imperial Family, right?

At that point, wouldn’t Ming Fei be beyond saving?

Even if she didn’t die, being sent to the Cold Palace would suffice!

Realizing this, the maid bowed to Princess Consort De: "Your Highness is wise and brilliant! With this plan, Ming Fei will be doomed!"

No matter if she gives birth to a boy or a girl, as long as they bring in another boy from outside, naturally, someone will step forward to question them.

Trust in the jealousy of those palace concubines!

And if it’s a girl? All the better, for a mysteriously brought-in son would be concrete evidence, ha-ha!
