Chapter 53: Accidentally Provoking the Dark Guard, Begging for Mercy Every Night (3)

Lin Shu frowned slightly, holding the handkerchief and leaned back a little.

Without further ado, she got up and left quickly, saying that she was tired and needed to go back to sleep.

It seemed that as long as she ran fast enough, the sickness in the room would definitely not be able to catch up with her~
Lin Ran smiled indifferently.

I pulled the half-read book out from under the pillow and found a comfortable position on the bed to continue reading.

Lin Ran read books about business.

Since she will be dismissed from the palace later in the plot, she must have the ability to survive in this world.

Women could not take the imperial examinations to become officials, nor could they lead an unstable life on the edge of danger, so their only option was farming or doing business.

After leaving the palace, she was free to marry.

If you don't want to continue to be a tool for family marriage, it will be inconvenient for you to continue eating and drinking for free at home. You have to support yourself.

It’s never too early or too late to start planning for your future.

"Emperor, three months have passed, why is it that no one in the harem is pregnant?"

Looking at the emperor who came to pay his respects, the empress dowager could not help but speak.

The Queen Mother was worried about the royal heir and had been unable to eat or sleep well recently. When she combed her hair, she felt that she had several more gray hairs.

But despite this, she still did not doubt or blame her son.

She just thought that maybe she had committed a lot of murders in order to get this position, and the retribution was coming to her son, so she became worried.

"..." When this topic was brought up, Si Zhan remained silent with a dark face.

He really tried his best.

For the past three months, he has been favoring the new concubines in turn every night, and he is almost vomiting from drinking all kinds of nourishing soups.

He tried so hard, but still couldn't have a child. Was he going to give up the empire he had worked so hard to build?
No, he is not convinced!
at the same time.

Suddenly, a sharp and loud voice came from outside the door to report——

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Lan is pregnant!"

Yes, are you happy?
The two most distinguished people in the entire palace stood up suddenly in shock.

"Who are you talking about? Who is pregnant?!"

The emperor who was decisive in killing and could decide the life and death of everyone in the world was so happy and excited at this moment that he looked like a young boy who had just started out in power. He had completely lost his previous coldness and majesty.

When the Queen Mother heard the news, she felt radiant. She smiled with great relief and said:

"Emperor, I heard it clearly! It's Concubine Lan!"

……

In the bedroom of Lan Changzai.

Almost all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau came and took Concubine Lan's pulse.

All the doctors in the room knelt and kowtowed to the emperor and the empress dowager who were sitting in the highest seats.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Lan is already one month pregnant!"

"Hahahaha!" Si Zhan laughed heartily.

This makes me not only happy that I finally have a successor, but also happy that my efforts have not been in vain!

"Reward! Everyone will get a reward!"

Then he looked at the cute Concubine Lan. Although her figure and appearance were not outstanding in the harem, and her family background was not very good, as long as she could give birth to a dragon heir for him, she was worthy of being favored! Si Zhan pondered for a moment and made the decision on the spot:
"Lan Changzai has done a great deed in carrying the heir to the throne. From today on, she will be named Imperial Concubine Lan! Once the heir is born, she will be crowned as the empress on a chosen day!"

She was promoted from a concubine to a noble concubine, the highest position among concubines. Xia Yuying was stunned by such a big surprise. It took her a while to remember to kowtow and thank him:

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Si Zhan's mind was "I should thank you", he just smiled and nodded:

"This is my first child, and I must take good care of the fetus. From today on, my beloved concubine, you will live in the Fule Palace, which is closest to me! If you need anything, you can always send someone to tell me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Xia Yuying bowed again to express her gratitude.

No one knew that in such a cold day, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating...

It won't take long.

Among this group of new beauties entering the palace, the relatively inconspicuous Lan Da Ying became the mistress of the palace because of her pregnancy with the dragon heir. The news had spread throughout the palace.

Because the emperor said everyone would be rewarded, not only did all the palace maids receive rewards, but hundreds of concubines also received different rewards sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The whole palace was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Upon receiving the news, Lin Shu couldn't control her emotions and made a questioning statement in front of everyone.

Lin Ran stood aside holding the "sick body", nudged Lin Shu with her elbow, and used her eyes to remind her to be careful with her words.

Lin Shu also realized that her emotions were out of control. She was afraid of giving people something to talk about, so she endured it until she returned to the bedroom, and then vented her doubts to Lin Ran.

"Sister, I don't believe that Lan promised to conceive a dragon heir!
So many favored concubines couldn't get pregnant, how could she be the only one who got pregnant?

Damn it, there must be something fishy going on here!"

Lin Shu was so angry and excited that her character collapsed.

If Lan agreed to successfully conceive a dragon heir, wouldn't it be a joke that she came to this world with the pregnancy system?

"I am now Concubine Lan." Lin Ran said in a casual tone, "Sister, you are so sure that her pregnancy is a fraud, do you know something?"

Lin Shu choked in her throat.

The system had explained that she could not tell anyone that the male protagonist had no descendants and that she was the only one who could conceive a dragon heir.

In short, apart from her, no other woman in this world can possibly get pregnant with the male protagonist's child!

Lin Shu stiffened her neck and snorted: "Anyway, I just suspect that this pregnancy is either a fake one, or she is pregnant with a bastard to deceive the emperor!"

Lin Ran has already unlocked this plot in her mind.

In fact, in order to obtain the throne of queen, many concubines and their families have been secretly considering the feasibility of cuckolding the emperor.

Since the emperor is unable to have children, why not secretly use other men to get pregnant? As long as the time of pregnancy and the time of sleeping with the emperor match, will the emperor doubt that the child is not his?
But until now, only Xia Yuying, who had agreed to it with Lan at that time, was so bold as to do it. It was indeed the child of a wild man that was in her belly.

It's nothing more than wanting a good future for myself and my family.

It’s a pity that once the crime of deceiving the emperor and confusing the royal heir is exposed, what awaits her will be the irreversible disaster of genocide!

In this cannibalistic feudal dynasty, Lin Ran has to do her best to protect herself, but she has no ability to save others.

Even if I wanted to eat the melon, I didn't dare to go forward and eat it.

"Sister, you don't have to be so excited. Defilement of the harem and confusion of the royal heirs are serious crimes punishable by death or even extermination of nine generations of the family. Which concubine would dare to do this without regard for the consequences?

If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. If anyone does this, the Emperor will not let her off."

"I'm not excited," Lin Shu cleared her throat and said righteously, "I'm just worried that a single rat's shit will spoil the whole barrel. What if a woman like this appears in the palace and the emperor starts to distrust all of us concubines?"
