Chapter 679 Concubine Li is abnormal
And Shu Jieyu's position gradually changed from Jieyu to Shufei.
Even though her position was raised, she also moved to a larger palace.
But she never forgot Li Cairen, nor did she look down on her just because her position was lower than hers.
What Shufei was thinking in her heart was how she could help Li Cairen so that her life in the palace could be better.
With the intentional or unintentional help of Concubine Shu, Li Cairen was soon noticed by Emperor Jingyang and successfully won his favor.
Her position also climbed from talented person to Zhaoyi, which was only one level lower than Shufei.
Concubine Shu was originally happy for her, because she knew very well that all the women in the harem depended on the emperor for their survival.
If she does not receive the emperor's favor and has no children to rely on, this concubine will sooner or later be abandoned by the emperor.
After Concubine Shu became pregnant, the first person she told the good news was Concubine Li.
Li Zhaoyi was very happy for her and personally sewed a lot of small clothes and hats for the prince as gifts.
She also said that since Concubine Shu was so loved by the Emperor, the child she gave birth to in the future would definitely be able to inherit the throne.
Concubine Shu didn't think too much about it. With the Queen and Concubine An in front of her, she knew that her child could not compare to them.
She simply hoped that the baby in her belly could be born safely and grow up safely.
Concubine Shu learned from the maid in the palace that if a concubine's pregnancy was made public, it would be easy for her to lose the baby in her belly.
Because such things have happened in the palace before, and they occur frequently.
At that time, Emperor Jingyang did not have any children. The concubine who was pregnant before publicized her pregnancy, which led to the baby being poisoned and aborted.
This was Concubine Shu's first pregnancy, so she was very cautious about it.
After much thought, she decided not to tell Emperor Jingyang that she was pregnant.
I was thinking of waiting until the baby in my belly is a little older before doing anything else.
But what Concubine Shu never expected was that she would make a fool of herself in public during a palace banquet.
The reason for her embarrassment was that she ate a piece of cake sent by Li Zhaoyi when she got up early.
Because the two had a very good relationship, Li Zhaoyi would go to Shufei's palace almost whenever she had time to massage her hands and feet.
She said that she knew that when a woman is pregnant, her body feels very heavy and uncomfortable.
She learned a set of massage techniques from the nanny, which could help Concubine Shu regulate her qi and liver, so that she could be as comfortable as possible during her pregnancy.
After hearing this, Concubine Shu naturally would not refuse.
She had absolutely no guard against Li Zhaoyi.
In this way, Li Zhaoyi would go to her palace almost every day to give her a massage.
Concubine Shu still can't forget that royal palace banquet, she dressed up with joy and went to attend it.
But who would have thought that when the palace banquet began, she began to take off her clothes in front of all the civil and military officials.
He even said some very vulgar words.
This scene made the emperor very angry. He said that Concubine Shu was drunk and ordered someone to take her away.
But at this moment, Li Zhaoyi stood up and handed over a letter.
She said that she found the letter by accident in Concubine Shu's bedroom, and it contained the records of the correspondence between Concubine Shu and a certain guard.
She also said that she noticed that Concubine Shu had been vomiting frequently in recent days and might be pregnant.
After saying these words, Li Zhaoyi looked extremely guilty.
She told Jingyangdi that she had also been preparing herself mentally for a long time, wondering whether she should tell him about this matter.
After all, she and Concubine Shu are the closest in the harem.
It is said that it will destroy the relationship between the two sisters.
But if she didn't say it, she would feel sorry for Emperor Jingyang.
After all, she was so gentle and kind, how could she bear to see the emperor being cuckolded?
After much thought, she decided to tell the matter to Emperor Jingyang and let him make the decision.
Emperor Jingyang was still young and energetic at that time. When he heard these words, he was extremely angry.
He immediately summoned the imperial physician and asked him to take Concubine Shu's pulse.
This pulse diagnosis was incredible. The imperial physician discovered that Concubine Shu was indeed pregnant, and her pulse had been good for more than three months.
No one in the palace knew about her pregnancy except Concubine Li.
This is very unreasonable in the harem.
Because when a concubine in the harem becomes pregnant, the queen will be informed of the matter immediately, and then the queen will arrange monthly dietary supplements for them.
Even if they didn't tell the empress, they would tell the emperor about this matter to please him.
And Concubine Shu actually kept it a secret for three whole months. How could she remain silent about this?
Emperor Jingyang immediately felt as if there was a green grassland above his head.
He asked someone to bring the guard who wrote the letter, and found out that the other party was a squad leader who was in charge of public security in the harem.
The area he managed included the bedroom where Concubine Shu lived.
When Emperor Jingyang asked about the reason for the letter, the guard insisted that it was Concubine Shu who seduced him.
They had already had sex three months ago, and after that, Concubine Shu had been secretly having an affair with him.
This time, Concubine Shu was charged with having an affair with the guard.
She wanted to explain, but the effect of the medicine in her body took effect, and everything she said came out as a sarcasm.
She wanted to say that she didn't know the guard at all, and had never had an affair with him, and that she was framed.
But what she said turned out to be that she had liked this guard for a long time. He looked younger than Emperor Jingyang, and she had long wanted to take him all over.
Concubine Shu didn't know what was wrong with her. She clearly didn't think that way, but everything she said became evidence of her guilt.
Only then did she remember that she had eaten a piece of dessert sent by Li Zhaoyi this morning.
Apart from that, she didn't eat anything, not even a sip of water.
If not the pastries, where else could the problem be?
Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Li and asked her why she wanted to hurt her. What had she done wrong to her?
However, Li Zhaoyi looked at her innocently and said that Sister Shufei was good to her, but she couldn't bear to see her make mistakes again and again.
Concubine Shu was almost going crazy. She knew at that time that she was tricked by Concubine Li.
She explained that the baby in her belly was Emperor Jingyang's and had nothing to do with the guards, and proposed the idea of a blood test.
But the imperial physician said that the child was too young and had not been born yet, so it was impossible to do a blood test.
In this way, she was accused by Emperor Jingyang of having an affair with a guard and was imprisoned in the clan house.
The baby in her belly was aborted after being given a bowl of abortion medicine.
Although Shufei was in the clan residence, she never gave up trying to find out the news from the outside world, especially about Li Zhaoyi.
After she learned that Concubine Li had framed her at the palace banquet, Emperor Jingyang considered her a great achievement.
Not only did the other party favor her, he also rewarded her with a large amount of jewelry and promoted her from Li Zhaoyi to Li Fei.
As a result, Concubine Li thrived in the palace and completely replaced Concubine Shu's position.
But the good times did not last long. After giving birth to two children, Concubine Li suddenly fell out of favor.
She stopped competing for favor and became low-key. Apart from reciting Buddhist scriptures, she spent her days in her Weiyang Palace embroidering.
Concubine Shu felt something was wrong. In her opinion, Concubine Li was an ambitious woman.
Although she didn't show it on her face, it was clear from what she did that she wanted her son to be emperor.
But at the critical moment, how could she be unwilling to compete for favor again?
You know, the higher and more stable the concubine's status is, the higher and more stable her son's status will be. This is an eternal truth.
But Concubine Li, contrary to her usual behavior, allowed herself to fall out of favor in the palace.
