Chapter 21: The Dark Emperor vs. the Delicate Palace Maid
After waking up, Chuli became a permaculture.

She looked at the palace maids who were taking care of her, as if she were dreaming.

The emperor awarded her the Suihua Pavilion to live in, saying that the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers here were more suitable for her name.

The fake pregnancy brought me a promotion, so it wasn't a loss at all.

But how did she get promoted? After being confused by the system, she suddenly had no idea.

At this time, the imperial concubine arrived.

Hatsuri was surprised to hear this title.

How did she become a royal concubine?

Concubine Chao had a lifeless face and looked very haggard. She sat on the edge of her bed and laughed at herself.

"I have been in the palace for six years. I have always been ignored in the palace. The emperor doesn't love me, the imperial concubine doesn't like me, and the queen mother doesn't like me. I finally thought that I could have a child to keep myself safe forever. I had a trump card, but I didn't expect that you would make the emperor remember you halfway. I don't know whether you are capable or scheming. You knew that I needed you, but you repaid me like this and became the emperor's concubine. Chu Li, I already know all your schemes."

Chu Li sneered and ignored her, but she did not show any weakness in her words: "My queen, you don't really think that I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life just because you gave me a few sets of clothes and some worthless jewelry? You are so stupid. You planned everything and said it was for the children, but your purpose is far more than that. Who in the harem doesn't want the position of queen?"

These words seemed to have hit her heart, and she was so angry that her mouth was shaking. The imperial physician had told her that she must not get angry because it would harm her body.

She stared at Chu Li fiercely, as if she wanted to see through her, but she couldn't understand Chu Li. She had always been on guard, but she didn't expect that anything would go wrong with the Emperor.

After all, he is the man she loves, what can she do?

"I treat you very well, but you slander me for coveting the position of queen?"

Chu Li was tired and yawned deliberately.

She said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, I have to thank you for this child, but I am a little tired. I wonder if you are okay?"

The implication is to drive her away.

Concubine Chao was furious, pointing at her and yelling at her for having no image: "Do you think you can become the queen just because you have a child? The emperor still gave you the position of a concubine. You are a million miles away from me!"

Seeing her so angry, Hatsuri felt relieved.

She continued to yawn, relying on her pregnancy momentum, and said in a very arrogant manner, "Oh, you said that I am tired, Madam, please go back. I am pregnant with a dragon seed, otherwise, you are pregnant with one too?"

These words made Concubine Chao so angry that she couldn't refute at all.

She was infertile, which undoubtedly added insult to injury, and she had no choice but to leave this place.

After returning home, she vented her anger to the imperial physician: "You bastard! Didn't they check for a few days and say you're not pregnant? Are you lying to me?"

The imperial physician knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, unable to explain such a sign: "Please spare me, Imperial Concubine. I did not find any signs of pregnancy when I felt your pulse! Moreover, the maid Chuli has been with the Emperor for more than a week. I can swear on my family that what I said is not a lie!"

Seeing him swear such a cruel oath, Concubine Chao couldn't help but doubt whether Chuli was really pregnant.

If she finds out, I will definitely die.

Ever since Chu Li became a consort, the news spread throughout the palace.

The news of her pregnancy indeed caused a sensation throughout the capital.

It is said that the emperor has hope of having an heir, but this is the first time in all these years.

The Queen Mother learned about this and hurried back from the temple to visit Chuli.

When she stepped into the palace, she saw the girl's rosy face and the food she was eating. The queen mother stood at the door with her jaw dropping. This girl is really optimistic.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

Hatsuri reacted promptly and bowed.

She learned etiquette very well, thanks to the teaching of Madam Rong, and no one can compare with her salute posture.

The Queen Mother looked left and right as if she was sizing up Hatsuri.

I sighed: "The last time I saw you was more than a month ago. I didn't expect that you would suddenly become the emperor's concubine. You really surprised me. There were so many concubines in the harem but none of them made you pregnant. Now it is you who makes me see hope for the future."

After hearing this, Chuli smiled with her two fangs showing. She was still a little insecure about the system's fake pregnancy skill, and was afraid that it would be exposed. She would be very upset then.

Seeing the Queen Mother's delight, Chu Li once again silently said to herself: I must work hard to serve her well and give birth to more children!

"Empress Dowager, my relationship with the Emperor was actually an accident..."

The Queen Mother interrupted her and did not let her continue. "It doesn't matter. I don't care about your background. In this huge palace, the offspring I have been praying for for many years has finally come true. As long as it is the emperor's dragon seed, I can accept it regardless of its status. It's just that this status is a bit low. The emperor..."

Before he could finish his words, a voice came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived."

Shen Yan hurried back here, and when he heard that the Queen Mother had returned to the palace, he rushed to Chu Li. Fearing that the Queen Mother would be embarrassed, he asked the eunuchs to send him here without stopping.

Seeing that Chuli's complexion had recovered, he finally felt relieved.

"Why did the Empress Dowager come here suddenly?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Emperor, how long are you going to keep this secret from me?"

"You are joking, Empress Dowager. I just found out about this a few days ago. Li Changzai is weak and has been pregnant for less than a week. She is in a dangerous period and needs to be carefully cared for."

The Queen Mother nodded, her face serious: "Emperor, you said that whoever gets pregnant will be the Queen, right?"

Shen Yan knew that the Empress Dowager was concerned about the position of Empress, and the country could not be without a queen. Shen Yan had also thought about whether he should directly promote Chu Li to the position of Empress.

But her background and abilities were not enough for the job.

Not only will she be framed by the harem, but she will also be slandered by the imperial court.

"Replying to Empress Dowager, I plan to wait until the child is born safely before officially promoting him to the position of Prince of Feng. I'm afraid Concubine An will have a hard time during this period."

Hatsuri shook her head, already content with this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty. It is my blessing to serve Your Majesty. I will take good care of this child in the future. I hope to give birth to him as soon as possible and let him grow up quickly."

The more the queen mother listened, the happier she became. She gave the bracelet on her hand to Chu Li and said earnestly: "I value the royal heir very much. If anyone wants to harm you, you can find me and the emperor. I and the emperor will take care of it for you."

He is worthy of being the champion of the last palace fight.

The Queen Mother unexpectedly thought of a plot that even Hatsuri herself had not thought of.

"I obey my orders."

At this time, Concubine Chao had been trying to kill Chu Li behind her back. She could not accept that her child had become a wedding dress for someone else to climb onto the Phoenix ladder.

The fake pregnancy will probably be used to overthrow the imperial concubine. After this, the emperor and the heroine will have sex again, and then the sweet love story will begin. This world is almost over! The pk has begun. If you don't like or are not satisfied with the plot, you can propose improvements!
