Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Emperor actually wanted to make that woman a consort?
Back then, the emperor doted on her, but only gave her the position of a lady.
The newcomer had only served him for a few days, and he actually wanted to make her a consort?
Thinking of the rumors about the woman in the palace these past few days, Lady Yu’s face became flustered.
No, the emperor had said that she was the only one in the harem who received his affection. He would spoil her for the rest of her life.
Impossible, the emperor would never have a change of heart…
Seeing Lady Yu’s pale face shaking her head in denial, the smile on the Imperial Consort’s face deepened.
“What an idiot. You actually believed a man’s promise in bed.” The Imperial Consort covered her mouth and chuckled, her words full of sarcasm.
Lady Yu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She wanted to refute, but she did not have the courage.
Previously, she depended on the Emperor’s favor to get carried away, but she was not stupid.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been chosen to enter the palace.
Now that her beautiful dream had been shattered, she had to face reality.
Yes, if it wasn’t for the fact that the new woman had completely replaced her, the Imperial Consort would never have dared to attack her directly.
Thinking of this, a hint of panic flashed across her heart.
“What-what do you want?” Then, she looked at the Imperial Consort in fear.
The Imperial Consort covered her mouth and smiled.
This caused her to be even more frightened.
“I…belong to Master Guo’s. Master Guo is now deeply trusted by the Emperor. With him around, you can’t touch me.”
Yes, she was chosen by Master Guo and sent to the palace.
As long as the Emperor needed Master Guo’s pills and thought highly of him, no one could touch her.
Thinking of this, her heart calmed down a lot. There was a hint of calmness in her eyes as she looked at the Imperial Consort.
Unexpectedly, it only attracted the Imperial Consort’s chuckle.
“Master Guo? Hehe…He’s just a swindler.”
“The Imperial Advisor has returned. After tomorrow’s meeting, what do you think will happen to that charlatan?”
Yu Cairen’s body trembled.
“Nonsense! Master Guo’s skill was profound, and he refined a spirit herb to strengthen the Emperor’s body. Why would the Imperial Advisor attack the immortal master?”
“Hmph, spirit herbs?!” The Imperial Consort’s face finally turned cold.
“It’s just a Life Essence Pill that overdrafts one’s blood essence.”
Lady Yu’s pupils constricted. When she heard the words “Light Essence Pill”, she instantly fell to the ground.
Yes, she knew about the Life Essence Pill.
When she first discovered that the Emperor’s white hair had suddenly increased and that his mental state was not right, she had asked the immortal master.
The immortal master had an extraordinary relationship with her. Seeing that she kept asking, he told her the truth.
It turned out that the pill that the immortal master gave the emperor was not some kind of spirit medicine to strengthen the body, but a pill that could overdraw a person’s blood essence.
The so-called Life Essence Pill referred to drawing light at the last moment.
The more it was used, the more severe the blood essence exhaustion would be.
According to the amount that the Emperor had consumed two days ago, the Emperor could actually last a long time.
According to their plan, as long as she got pregnant with the Dragon Heir during this period of time, she would not have to worry for the rest of her life. She could even rely on her son to become the Emperor of the Great Yan.
But the emperor was actually addicted to the pill.
The dosage also quickly increased from one pill every two days to one pill a day. This caused his body to deteriorate even faster.
Furthermore, it was said that the Emperor had been spending every night with the new girl who entered the palace. Perhaps the dosage had increased again.
She thought that this was a secret between her and the master.
Unexpectedly, the Imperial Consort actually knew about it!
How could she bear the punishment?
Lady Yu was instantly surrounded by fear, and even her body could not help but tremble.
“Your-Your Highness…” Then, as if remembering something, she quickly crawled toward the Imperial Consort.
But before she could touch the Imperial Consort’s foot, she was kicked away.
Lady Yu wanted to step forward but was pulled back by two eunuchs.
A look of disgust flashed across the Imperial Consort’s face.
“Now, the evidence is conclusive.”
“As for you, you were recommended by Master Guo. It was impossible for you not to know. There’s a high chance that you’ll be punished the same way as Master Guo.”
Seeing that Lady Yu was looking at her, the Imperial Consort smiled again.
“According to the laws of the Great Yan, your situation is precarious. You’ll be cut into pieces.”
Lady Yu was shocked. Tears flowed down her face, and her body trembled even more violently.
“Your Highness…wuwu, I am sorry. Please save me…”
“This was all done by Master Guo, it has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me…” Lady Yu hurriedly kowtowed to the Imperial Consort.
One knock after another, the sound of knocking continued..
