Chapter 52: Accidentally Provoking the Dark Guard, Begging for Mercy Every Night (2)

What the Empress Dowager said was that all the beauties in the row before her were pretty.

Emperor Si Zhan is handsome, with deep facial features that show the charm of a mature man. He is majestic without even being angry, and his whole body exudes innate nobility.

Just a simple look was enough to scare the beauties below so much that they dared not even breathe.

His stern eyes swept across the row of beauties one by one.

When his eyes rested on Lin Shu, he frowned slightly.

It was the first time for him to see such a surging passion in a young girl who had just come of age...

Si Zhan is not a person who is obsessed with women's figures and beauty. He frequently participates in beauty pageants only to give birth to royal heirs and complete the task of continuing the family line.

When he saw Lin Shu's figure, he only thought of big breasts and no brains, which was the most fatal thing.

I was just about to say that I would give Lin Shu a sign and flowers, and the rest would keep the signs.

But suddenly, Si Zhan felt dizzy for no reason.

When his eyes regained clarity, he found that among the row of beauties, the woman named Lin Shu stood with her back straight, her posture dignified, her face elegant and beautiful, and her skin so white and delicate that it seemed to be glowing, like the Lady of the Nine Heavens who had descended to earth.

She boldly looked him in the eye, and the gentle and shy smile on her lips made his heart flutter, and even his lower abdomen began to feel an impulse.

"Well, leave your name tags!"

The emperor finally nodded, and the empress dowager also smiled with relief.

Lin Ran couldn't laugh.

Because she was selected anyway.

"Sister, congratulations, I knew you would be selected successfully."

On the way home, Lin Shu spoke softly again.

But she didn't mention the fact that she was also chosen.

Since she didn't mention it, Lin Ran did it for her:
"Then I also congratulate my sister for winning the emperor's favor. Just now in the inner palace, the emperor's eyes were always on you."

Lin Shu sighed softly:

"Alas, the prosperity and wealth of the palace is nothing but a passing cloud to me. I value lovers' final marriage more.

It's a pity that I don't have someone I like, so I'll just enter the palace. This is also our duty as a girl of the Lin family."

Seeing that Lin Shu was still pretending, Lin Ran just thought she was watching a performance, but she had one thing to remind her: "It's fine to say this kind of thing in front of me, but you can't say it casually after entering the palace."

Lin Shu smiled slightly: "I know, I'm not stupid."

Lin Ran chose to remain silent and no longer spoke.

……

They were all just tools for giving birth to children, and the selected beauties were soon sent to the palace.

Because Lin Ran and Lin Shu had the support of the Empress Dowager, they were named noble ladies as soon as they entered the palace and lived in a side hall in the palace of Concubine De, the eldest daughter of the Lin family.

This rank was not the highest among the newly promoted concubines, as there were also noble daughters of powerful officials who were given titles of concubine and imperial consort.

Lin Ran is now just thankful that the male protagonist starts by selecting the ladies with higher status when selecting them to sleep with him, and her status is not the most dangerous.

She had to find a way to avoid the sleeping arrangement and let the male lead favor the female lead first...

*
After this selection, countless eyes of the former dynasty were watching to see if this group of beauties entering the palace could successfully conceive a royal heir.

If not, I'm afraid the ministers will really have to submit a petition to choose a son of the royal family as the crown prince.

The birth of an imperial heir is urgent.

As an emperor, he was willing to transform himself into a stud and stay in the harem every night.

Lin Ran counted the days. Feeling that it was her turn soon, she deliberately wore thin clothes and stood by the window to enjoy the breeze all night.

It was a night in early winter, the night wind was chilly, and Lin Ran almost couldn't help but crawl back into bed.

But compared to letting the male protagonist sleep with her for nothing and just enduring this little cold wind, she had to grit her teeth and hold on!
Maybe her physique was too good, and blowing for just one night didn't have any effect. Lin Ran gritted her teeth and continued blowing for two more nights.

Finally, after staying up late and being exposed to cold wind for three consecutive days, she not only lost her energy, but also caught a cold.

Lin Ran pretended to be very weak, with a pale face and chapped lips, as if she was only breathing out but not breathing in.

When Concubine De found out, she quickly arranged for someone to call the imperial physician.

Lin Shu stood behind a group of palace maids, far away, and didn't understand why Lin Ran, who had always been in good health, suddenly fell ill.

But no matter what, she must not be infected with this disease. She is pregnant with a good pregnancy system and is waiting for the emperor to call her to sleep with him!
She also wanted to let the entire harem see how she became pregnant with the dragon heir and became the most honorable queen!
……

After the imperial physician came to treat the patient, the sign belonging to Lin Ran was temporarily removed.

She didn't have to sleep with him until she recovered.

Oh, then she will be sick for a longer time!

Every time the palace servants brought in medicine, Lin Ran took advantage of the fact that no one would watch her or control her, and drank bowl after bowl.

The medicine was not effective enough, and she deliberately delayed the treatment, so she kept suffering from the cold and could not get better.

What's very strange is that some of the concubines of the same period had slept with the emperor several times, but the emperor never turned over Lin Shu's name card, as if he had forgotten her.

Lin Shu maintained her personality of being as gentle as a chrysanthemum, and she would look at the flowers and admire the moon in the palace every day.

Facing other people's strange looks, she just smiled them all off, with her eyes revealing three parts of nobleness, three parts of indifference, three parts of confidence, and one part of disdain.

this day.

Perhaps Lin Shu was bored, so she finally came to sit in front of Lin Ran's "sickbed".

"Sister, you have been ill for almost two months. If you continue to be ill, when will you be able to sleep with the emperor? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will completely forget about you?"

Lin Ran could tell from her tone that she seemed a little angry.

Lin Ran was puzzled.

After thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on me.

"Sister, you don't think that because I'm sick, I've prevented you from sleeping with me, right?"

Lin Shu was furious and almost blurted out, "It must be because he was influenced!"

The Emperor certainly respects seniority. How can it be her turn as the younger sister before her elder sister even goes to bed with him?

But such words were contrary to the image of a calm and indifferent person that she wanted to create for herself. Lin Shu could only smile and pretend to be concerned and said slowly:

"Sister, you are overthinking. I am just worried that you have been ill for too long and your health has been damaged. I am afraid that you will not be able to get pregnant even if you sleep with the emperor. How can you give birth to a child for the emperor? If you don't have an heir, how can you gain a foothold in this palace?

Sister, you better get better soon. The plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are so beautiful. If it snows, we can make snowmen outside!
Anyway, no matter what you do, it's better than lying in bed all the time to recover from your illness!"

If she didn't have to save her points to redeem various fertility pills and postpartum repair and beauty pills, Lin Shu really wanted to exchange a pill that could cure any disease for Lin Ran.

Lin Ran: ...

Sorry, according to the setting, even if she is in good health and can live to be 188, she will not get pregnant even if she sleeps with the emperor.

"Sister, thank you for your concern. I will make myself better as soon as possible."

Lin Ran smiled weakly and sickly, and her tone showed what it meant to be weak and powerless.

Of course, she was pretending.

She is already very good at playing a patient.
