Chapter 20: The Dark Emperor vs. the Flirtatious Palace Maid
I heard that the emperor was coming.

The three people showed different expressions.

The Imperial Concubine was shy and expectant, Chu Li was avoiding her, and Chao Fei was trembling with fear.

And the situation of the three people at this time.

Chao Fei was kneeling on the ground with red cheeks, Chu Li was weak and pale beside her, and only Gui Fei had a rosy face and looked down at them condescendingly.

Hearing that the emperor was coming, the imperial concubine hurried to greet him pitifully, and directly held the emperor's hand, crying: "Your Majesty, I finally see you. You have punished me these days, and I know where I am wrong. Your Majesty, I want to tell you something."

When the emperor entered the main hall, he saw Chuli and Chaofei in such a state, one in a disheveled state and the other like a sick person.

He didn't even look at Chao Fei.

Sitting in the middle seat, he said calmly: "My beloved concubine, you speak."

The imperial concubine sat aside like a child, and said sharply: "This imperial concubine Chao usually seems to be very kind to the people in the palace, but in fact she is just pretending. I just came to look for Chu Li, but the imperial concubine Chao insisted that Chu Li was not with her. As a result, I deliberately said I was looking for her, and she let her go all of a sudden, and even tortured her like this. Your Majesty, look..."

Seeing Chu Li's pale lips, messy hair, and even tattered clothes, Shen Yan felt pain in his heart.

He said coldly: "Really? Isn't this maid loved by you in your own palace? I remember you called her sister a few days ago. How come she offended you now and you even used lynching?"

Concubine Chao's face changed suddenly, she was afraid that everything she had done would be exposed, but she pretended to be calm, "Your Majesty, servants must be punished if they do something wrong, not to mention that they are family members, what do you say?"

Chao Fei had planned everything, but she was mainly worried that the surrogacy would be exposed.

Shen Yan found the sudden question a little funny.

Just as he was about to answer, the Imperial Concubine beat him to the punch: "It is wrong for you to torture the maids privately. How dare you say that, Imperial Concubine? You used to spread the word about how good you were to the maids, but now it seems that you are just that good."

After being interrupted, Shen Yan was about to speak again, but the imperial concubine spoke first: "Besides, the emperor will not care about what happens in your palace. It's just that I can't stand you being so superficial in front of me."

The emperor gave up and said nothing.

There's nothing to say to a woman who interrupts like this!

He just kept his eyes on Hatsuri.

suddenly!

He noticed that the person he had been with that night always had a scar on his neck, and he touched it for a long time that night.

The moment he looked at Hatsuri, he seemed to understand something.

He smiled, a warm breeze blew past, the corners of his lips raised, leisurely and shallow.

"Princess Chao, when I stayed at your place that day, was it you?"

Chao Fei knew what the emperor was asking.

This sentence also made Chu Li stunned. She looked up and met the emperor's gaze, as if she was not trying to conquer him, but had walked into the emperor's strategy.

"Princess Chao, look into my eyes and answer me!"

The concubine's eyes dodged everywhere, but she had a strong resistance, and she argued: "Your Majesty, I am your pillow, why do you ask such a question?"

at this time!

The system suddenly rewards Hatsuri with a fake pregnancy skill.

"Su Su! As an apology to you for that night, this system has decided to help you!"

Before Hatsuri could react, she fainted in an instant.

Good, good system, why are you so unprepared?

This fainting scared everyone at the scene.

"Quick, come quickly!"

Then, a piece of good news came from the Chaofei Palace.

The maid was pregnant, but unfortunately they didn't know whose child it was. The maids and concubines were talking about it. In such a huge harem, such a happy event must be a good thing.

Asahiko was terrified. She was afraid that the child, Hatsuri, would be discovered, and she was also afraid that her carefully designed plan would fail.

At this time, he was still hated by the emperor.

The imperial concubine didn't take it seriously and started to doubt herself: "How come the palace maids can give birth? I can't."

The emperor was the happiest one.

Only he knew that the child was his.

The three of them stood outside and did not disturb Hatsuri's rest, but instead started discussing.

The imperial concubine spoke first: "Your Majesty, this palace maid must be pregnant with the child of a eunuch, do you want to investigate?"

When he heard the word eunuch, Shen Yan couldn't imagine how dark his face would be.

The concubine did not dare to express her opinion.

Seeing that no one was talking, the imperial concubine decided to return to the palace. She didn't have the leisure time to watch a palace maid here.

"Then I will go back first, Your Majesty."

Before the imperial concubine even stepped out of the door, she heard the emperor say from behind: "Pass on my oral order. Since the imperial concubine's maid Chu Li has become pregnant and has made meritorious contributions in sleeping with her, she will be given the title of Li Changzai."

This shocked the two people present.

Then Shen Yan continued, "Concubine Chao, I know you have worked hard for the dragon seed, so I will not pursue it. I will write it off. I also hope that you will not do anything weird in the future. I know very well who slept with me that night, and I also know why you planned this. But you did something wrong after all, so I will punish you by confining you to your house for a month. But you have also made contributions by training this good palace maid, so I will make you a noble concubine and take a good rest."

The imperial concubine was promoted all of a sudden. When the imperial concubine heard this, she was furious. She hurried to the side to ask for an explanation and complained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, how can you be sure that the child in the maid's arms is yours? What if she had an affair with someone else?"

"I know everything. I think Imperial Concubine Chao knows best whether it is mine or not."

Chao Fei's face turned pale, all her plans were ruined.

She had worked hard and originally thought she could become a phoenix, but now she was completely slapped to death by the person she loved.

Without a child, how could she have the confidence?
And it also let Hatsuri reap the benefits for nothing.

Hatred and disgust suddenly arose in her heart.

The one who makes people angry the most is the imperial concubine. Who dares to share the same position with her?
Let’s not talk about the fact that they seduced the emperor.

My position must be higher than theirs.

The imperial concubine walked aside, took the emperor's hand and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, since this is a happy event, I also want a good position."

Due to her status, the emperor had no choice but to agree.

He knew the Imperial Concubine's personality. She was enough to keep the harem busy. He also knew that Imperial Concubine Chao would only challenge her own people, so he agreed.

"Pass on my oral message. The concubine is promoted to Imperial Concubine. The canonization ceremony can be held now."

When this news came out, it not only alarmed the imperial court, but also the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother was extremely delighted. Although she favored a palace maid, she herself was also a palace maid who rose to power.

There is finally a pregnancy in the harem.

The royal family has successors.

When Hatsuri woke up, she felt like the sky had fallen.

The maidservant beside him said respectfully: "Master, you are awake now. The emperor has specially ordered the servants to take good care of you."
