Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Jingyang Palace.

A month ago, Consort Ye was promoted to the rank of Noble Consort, moved out of Consort Shen's Zhongcui Palace, and was granted residence in Jingyang Palace, becoming the mistress of a palace.

"Your Majesty, somehow Consort Lin found out that you had given her contraceptive medicine."

"This contraceptive pill was something the master went to great lengths to find. Just one dose is enough to prevent pregnancy for six months. Even the imperial physicians had difficulty diagnosing it. How could Consort Lin possibly know about it?"

Xiang Ling stood beside Consort Ye, her face full of doubt, and asked with a frown.

Consort Ye was also filled with confusion, as it had been a long time since she had drugged Consort Lin.

At that time, taking advantage of Consort Lin's lack of vigilance when she first entered the palace, he invited her out for a walk, and then invited her to taste the delicacies. Without her knowing, he made her eat pastries containing contraceptive drugs.

Since returning from the last spring hunt, Consort Lin has been released from confinement and has begun to target her one after another.

At first, she thought it was just because Consort Lin was jealous that she had received the Emperor's favor during her confinement.

however……

Time slowly rewinds to two months ago.

For a month after returning from the spring hunt, Ye Jieyu was showered with love and affection.

His Majesty not only summoned her to his bedchamber at night on numerous occasions, but sometimes even visited Chengxiang Hall in Zhongcui Palace during the day, just to listen to the sounds of her playing the guqin.

Because of His Majesty's great favor, even Consort Shen, the head of Zhongcui Palace, changed her attitude and stopped mocking or deliberately making things difficult for Consort Ye.

For a time, Consort Ye was the most favored concubine in the palace, enjoying unparalleled prestige.

It was early summer, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond of the Eastern Six Palaces were in full bloom, a truly breathtaking sight.

Ye Jieyu and Xiang Ling sat leisurely in the pavilion by the lotus pond, their faces full of comfort and ease, their eyes slightly narrowed, as if they were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.

She comes from a prestigious family and now enjoys the utmost favor; even His Majesty once said that listening to her music is addictive.

All of this filled Ye Jieyu's heart with joy and excitement, just wanting to have another child...

Ye Jieyu lowered her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, and gently stroked her belly, as if she were talking to her future child.

Since being released from confinement, Consort Lin has become increasingly anxious about losing the Emperor's favor.

Although His Majesty did not severely punish her for confining her to her quarters, he also did not come to check on her.

Even during her confinement, he favored Consort Ye.

The emperor's favor was ultimately like an illusion; her child was her only true support.

So, after Consort Lin was released from confinement, she hurriedly sent someone to contact her father to find a doctor for her. She had been favored by the emperor quite a few times, but why was she still unable to conceive?

From a young age, her mother took great care of her health. Before she entered the palace, her mother confidently said that she was fertile and that there was no reason why, after so long, her belly still showed no signs of pregnancy.

Consort Lin's father was a nobleman from Jinzhou, which was one of the most prosperous cities in the country. The head of the Lin family was a high-ranking official in Jinzhou, and some members of the Lin family were also engaged in business.

The Lin family can be considered a wealthy and powerful family in Jinzhou.

After Consort Lin was released from confinement, she wrote a letter to her father. Her father went to great lengths to find a renowned doctor for her and, through various connections, disguised the doctor as a eunuch and secretly sent him into the palace.

Everything went very smoothly.

It was only after the divine physician carefully examined her pulse that Consort Lin realized that her originally fertile constitution had been completely destroyed.

There is absolutely no possibility of getting pregnant in the next few months. Only after carefully recuperating for six months might there be a chance of pregnancy.

Upon hearing these words, Consort Lin felt an overwhelming surge of anger welling up inside her. Her face instantly turned ashen, her teeth clenched tightly around her lower lip, and her hands unconsciously formed into fists.

The divine doctor then said that this contraceptive medicine was unique to Lizhou, because one of its ingredients was only found in Lizhou.

This medicine can imperceptibly damage a woman's body; it is a forbidden drug in the Kingdom and is strictly prohibited from being sold to outsiders.

Upon hearing this, how could Consort Lin not understand the strangeness of the matter?

The Ye family's old residence happens to be located in Lizhou, and the Ye family has considerable influence in various cities.

Furthermore, recalling her first time entering the palace, Consort Ye had warmly invited her to travel and enjoy delicious food together.

At that time, she had just entered the palace and was naive. Although she was wary, she never expected that Consort Ye would be so ruthless.

At that time, she would watch Ye Jieyu eat first before she would eat herself, but she never expected that she would still fall into Ye Jieyu's wicked scheme!

A sinister glint flashed in Consort Lin's eyes.

When Consort Ye first entered the palace, it actually caused her to be unable to have children!

Now that so much time has passed, she has absolutely no evidence to accuse Ye Jieyu.

Consort Lin clenched her teeth so tightly that her gums seemed about to bleed; she and Consort Ye were sworn enemies!

Afterwards, Consort Lin successfully sent the divine physician out of the palace.

After Consort Lin was released from confinement, she was already favored by Consort Ye, and the Emperor also favored several arrogant and conceited young women, making her extremely depressed.

Now that she has learned that she cannot get pregnant in the short term, she is even more furious.

His eyes were filled with resentment and his face was ashen.

She had people keep a close watch on Consort Ye at all times. And just today, upon learning that Consort Ye had gone out for a walk by the lotus pond, Consort Lin immediately followed her.

As soon as they arrived at the lotus pond, they saw Ye Jieyu sitting peacefully in the pavilion, her face full of anticipation, and one hand gently stroking her belly.

At this moment, Consort Lin's eyes seemed to be burning with a blazing, tangible flame, filled with anger and jealousy that was about to burst forth.

Is Ye Jieyu pregnant?!

Consort Lin suppressed her anger, forced a stiff smile, and walked towards Consort Ye with seemingly elegant but actually somewhat hurried steps.

But his eyes were filled with an icy chill.

Consort Lin stood outside the pavilion. In the past, because of Consort Ye's illustrious family background, Consort Lin and Consort Ye had always addressed each other as sisters on the surface.

Consort Lin didn't even care about Consort Ye's lack of manners.

Today, as she stood outside the pavilion, Ye Jieyu naturally saw her, smiled at her, and then nodded slightly.

Consort Ye thought Consort Lin was about to enter the pavilion, and did not rise to greet her upon seeing her.

However, Consort Lin deliberately paused outside the pavilion for a while, and then the smile on her face vanished instantly.

Instead, her face darkened, and she said fiercely, "Yuqi, Consort Ye has been disrespectful in her new position. Bring her out and make her kneel for half an hour."

"Yes, Master."

As the head of a palace, Consort Lin was followed by seven or eight eunuchs and maids, which made the scene quite dignified.

Upon hearing the order, Yuqi immediately summoned two eunuchs to quickly enter the pavilion.

When Consort Ye heard Consort Lin's sudden attack, her gentle smile froze instantly.

She asked incredulously, "What does Consort Lin mean by this?"

Consort Ye tried her best to remain calm, and she simply couldn't believe that Consort Lin would be so presumptuous. Even though Consort Lin was one rank higher than her, she had the Ye family as her backing, not to mention how favored she was now.

Consort Lin dares to do that!

Consort Lin slowly walked into the pavilion and said in an icy tone, "Consort Ye, I am the head of the palace. You saw me standing outside the pavilion, but you sat there without moving. I am punishing you today to teach you the rules of the palace, so that you will not offend His Majesty and the Imperial Noble Consort in the future."

After speaking, Consort Lin gave a signal with her eyes, and Yuqi immediately prepared to make a move against Consort Ye.

Ye Jieyu frowned deeply, her face appearing somewhat gloomy.

She only brought one personal maid, Xiang Ling, with her today, and under these circumstances, it's clear she can't avoid it.

It was obvious that Consort Lin had come here today specifically to target her; her menacing aura was frightening.

"Let go, I can walk by myself."

As the eldest daughter of the Ye family, Ye Jieyu still possessed her innate poise, and her voice was cold yet firm.

After she finished speaking, she walked outside the pavilion and slowly knelt down.

However, even while kneeling, her back remained straight, as if she possessed an unyielding spirit, her posture exuding a stubbornness.

Outside the pavilion, the sun was shining brightly, its scorching rays baking the earth.

Consort Lin felt a sense of satisfaction as she looked at Consort Ye kneeling, but her hatred remained undiminished, and even this could not quell the resentment in her heart.

Ye Jieyu, kneeling outside the pavilion, had difficulty opening her eyes due to the sunlight.

She asked coldly, "I wonder where I have offended Consort Lin? Why doesn't Consort Lin speak plainly?"

Consort Lin walked step by step to Consort Ye, looking down at her from a high position. Then she slowly bent down and brought her lips close to Consort Ye's ear.

She lowered her voice and said, "You know perfectly well what you did to me, Consort Ye. I will never let you get away with this."

Upon hearing this, Consort Ye's pupils dilated sharply, and she stared at Consort Lin in astonishment.

Did she really know?

Consort Lin ignored Consort Ye's shock and walked straight past her.

Then he said coldly, "Yuqi, send someone to guard this place. Ye Jieyu must kneel for half an hour."

"Yes," Yuqi replied quickly.

Afterwards, Consort Lin hurried to the Qianqing Palace and tearfully complained to His Majesty.

After kneeling for half an hour, Consort Ye sent a palace maid to Qianqing Palace, eagerly awaiting His Majesty's arrival.

But all they received was news that His Majesty had summoned Consort Lin to his bedchamber...

After that, Consort Ye and Consort Lin completely broke off all pretense of civility.

The two women engaged in a series of open and covert struggles.

However, His Majesty did not seem to show any particular favoritism towards either of them, which led the two women to not only scheme against each other but also against His Majesty's favor.

Consort Ye's thoughts gradually returned to normal. Now that she was of equal rank to Consort Lin, she naturally no longer feared Consort Lin.

She was determined to make Consort Lin pay back double for all the hardships she had endured in the past two months!

Consort Ye had a smile on her lips, but the smile was tinged with a chilling coldness.

What's more, she's now pregnant...
