Your Majesty, this outer room is painting a pie for you again!

Chapter 711: Concubine De’s Inquiry

Upon hearing this, the guards felt that it would be difficult to get what they wanted.

"But, Your Majesty, there are only you and His Majesty in the entire royal family. His Majesty is now a useless person. Even if Prince Fu doesn't want to, will he get his wish? Does he want to be the emperor himself?"

It seems understandable that that place smells so good, doesn't it?
But Li Ronghao shook his head.

"He's not going to want to be in that position."

The guards were surprised to hear this and didn't understand why their prince was so sure.

Li Ronghao was naturally confident. After all, the person who knows you best is of course your enemy.

He put down the teacup in his hand, as if he had thought of something, and couldn't help but sneer.

"He is a very noble man. How could he allow himself to fall into such a passive situation? If he really sat on the throne one day, what do you think the history books would write? Would the reputation of the Duke of Dingguo's family be completely destroyed by him?"

The guard couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.

But at the same time, in the guards' view, although this is the case, if they can sit in that position, wouldn't everything be controllable?
Li Ronghao glanced at the guard and knew what the guard was thinking with just one glance.

"So this is what I despise most about him. He is so hypocritical and always puts himself on a high pedestal, as if he is untainted by dust. Humph."

The guards didn't dare to say anything after seeing this, but Li Ronghao seemed to have gotten used to it. Although he didn't like Fu Yubai's behavior, he still had to be on guard against Fu Yubai.

And in recent times, the situation in Shengjing has become even more tense.

Even the common people now dare not go out casually, for fear that they might offend some important person and lose their lives.

Despite the panic in this situation, the palace seemed very peaceful.

Concubine Xi has been secretly protected. She wants to resist for love, but she can't bear to give up the child. Moreover, when she confronted Concubine Xi, Su Jiao made it very clear.

This time, Su Jiao came to see Concubine Xi again.

Concubine Xi looked fine. When she saw Su Jiao coming, she just frowned slightly but did not scream like last time.

"It seems that Concubine Xi has come to terms with it."

After these words were spoken, Concubine Xi's expression became even uglier.

"It's funny what you said. Isn't this what you expected me to be like now?"

"Of course it is."

Su Jiao would not lie, nor would she perform any affection for Concubine Xi. After all, she just wanted Concubine Xi to be more honest.

Thinking of this, Su Jiao smiled and said, "Empress Xipin, you must take good care of the baby in your belly, because... you will most likely become more famous because of the child."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xi pursed her lips but did not respond.

Is a mother honored by her son?
She didn't even dare to think about it.

But she has no better way out at the moment. It is easy to say death, but in fact, if you can live, who wants to die?
Concubine Xi doesn't want to either.

Moreover, there is already a little life in her belly, which makes Xipin love her even more. After all, this is the child of her and her beloved, so she wants to keep this child.

Su Jiao also obviously grasped what Concubine Xi was thinking, so she smiled kindly, and after a while she continued, "Now Concubine Xi has people protecting her inside and outside, so you just need to take good care of your baby."

Having said this, Su Jiao looked at Concubine Xi again.

"But...if someone wants to spy on something, then Concubine Xi should know what to do, right?" Concubine Xi was stunned when she heard this, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes when she looked at Su Jiao.

"What do you mean?"

Why did she feel like she didn't quite understand what Su Jiao meant?
But Su Jiao smiled.

"Your Majesty should understand. If the King Xuan sends someone to sneak in, what will Your Majesty do?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xi fell silent again.

It’s not that Concubine Xi doesn’t want to, but that Concubine Xi doesn’t know.

Regarding the things that happened at the moment, Xipin only felt that everything was so absurd, but the man himself remembered it in his heart...

"King Xuan is not like Your Majesty who is incapable of getting a woman pregnant, and you... are also his stain after all, so Your Majesty should think about it carefully."

Su Jiao said everything that needed to be said. She smiled at Concubine Xi, then turned and left.

After she left, Concubine Xi's face became extremely cold, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she felt!
"This bitch!"

But after suppressing her anger, Concubine Xi also knew that what Su Jiao said was right. The fact that King Xuan could treat her like this in the harem showed that she was nothing in his eyes.

If King Xuan's people knew that she was pregnant, then she would only be a stain, a stain that would prevent him from ascending the throne!
When that time comes, what will be your fate?
Xipin clenched her fists.

She doesn't want to die!

I don’t want the baby in my belly to die!
So in this matter, Concubine Xi made a decision quickly.

After Su Jiao left Concubine Xi's palace, she met Concubine De on the way.

But Concubine De stopped her.

"Miss Su."

Su Jiao raised her eyebrows.

Su Jiao didn't know what to say to this empress for a moment, because this empress seemed to be a normal person, but she could endure such a situation in the deep palace, which was even more shocking.

Su Jiao narrowed her eyes and looked at Concubine De.

Defei walked closer, and when she saw Su Rao looking at her with that kind of eyes, she paused, and after a long while she smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Miss Su, there is no need to be so wary of me. There is no one behind me."

This was a frank statement, but after Su Jiao heard it, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Do you believe in Concubine De?
But who can become friends with whom in the harem?

The word "friend" itself is a joke in the harem.

So Su Jiao just smiled and said nothing more.

When Concubine De saw this, she knew that Su Jiao was also on guard against him. Concubine De was helpless for a moment. After thinking for a while, she said, "Miss Su, today... I just want to know when this will end."

"what?"

These words made Su Jiao stunned for a moment. She looked at Concubine De in surprise, not really understanding what the Concubine meant.

Concubine De also paused and continued, "The situation in this palace is too complicated, and I don't want to suffer in this dire straits any longer."
