Chapter 2048: Her and His Child

Is there anything else you need If not, I'll go back now."As she was speaking, Mrs. Liu stood up, covering her face with her hair and trying to step away.Yang Xiaoyu reached out and stopped her. "Aun...The emperor was lying in Chi'er's sleeping quarters at this time.

Zhier sat by the bed, her eyes gleaming with a hint of madness as they fixed on the emperor's face.

Just as she was about to feed the blood from her fingertips into the emperor's mouth, a palace maid rushed in and reported that the Second Prince had been brutally harmed.

Now, the Second Royal Consort and Prince Mo Heng along with others are kneeling outside the imperial palace, holding the body of the Second Royal Prince, begging to see the Emperor.

Zhi'er's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, Mo Yunren is dead

This message was a surprise to her.

Don't underestimate Mo Yunren despite his disabled limbs, for his household is still populated by many capable and extraordinary individuals.

...Besides, the princess whom Mo Yunren married came from a powerful family. ...

It's not easy at all to get rid of Mok Yung-ren and his faction.

Although Zhi'er didn't care about the schemes these princes were plotting in the capital, she also knew that Mo Yunren had set a net of heaven and earth within his mansion, and almost anyone who entered his palace couldn't come out alive.

Even Mo Yunze had sent out many experts on several occasions, attempting to break in and take Mo Yunren's life.

But every expert by Mo Yunze's side always went and never returned.

Later, Mo Yunze saw the situation clearly and didn't send anyone to raid Mo Yunren's mansion again.

So she really didn't expect that Mo Yunren's life would just be lost like this

Who will take his life

Soon, Zhi'er's mind flashed with Mo Yunjing's face, and she smirked, a look of understanding on her face.

You have to know, Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang just returned to the capital not long ago, and then Mo Yunren lost his life. This matter, no matter how you look at it, feels like Mo Yunjing's doing.

At this moment, the entire sleeping hall was eerily silent.

Zi Er's laughter sounded eerie, considering the maid had just reported a death.

And it was the prince of Tianba Kingdom who died.

But as a concubine, she laughed when she heard the news of a prince's death

It is indeed not right.

Even the palace maid who came to report didn't know what Concubine Zhi was thinking. But Concubine Zhi laughed right in front of her, without hiding it at all. Would she be silenced by Concubine Zhi

Thinking of this, the palace maid who came to report felt a chill down her spine. She didn't even dare to raise her head, and her breath became shallow and cautious.

Fearing that this esteemed Noble Consort might notice, he would lose his life here.

Fortunately, Chi'er just laughed and didn't do anything.

Once she came to her senses, she didn't even glance at the palace maid. At this moment, she just said coldly, "I know. You may step back for now."

The palace maid quickly responded and carefully withdrew from the bedroom.

……

After the door to the sleeping hall was closed again, Zhi'er looked down at the blood on her fingertips.

She narrowed her eyes, silent for a moment, before slowly wiping the blood away.

It never made it to the emperor's mouth.

Glaring at the Emperor's sleeping face, Zhi’er let out a sinister laugh and bent down slightly, her voice soft as she said, “Back then, for the sake of ascending to power, you didn't hesitate to harm your own kin.”

"Now your sons, for that throne, have walked in your footsteps. I wonder what thoughts cross your mind today"

"If you had truly cared for me back then, if you hadn't personally fed me that bowl of congee, our son would be at the age of coming-of-age now."

"If my son, Zhi'er, were still alive, I wouldn't be so cruel to you. So don't blame me for what I'm doing to you now; it's all your retribution."

Remembering that bowl of lo-mian soup from back then, hatred gradually welled up in Zhi'er's eyes.

Before she gave birth to the twin daughters, she had a child with the emperor.

It's a pity that she was merely an unnamed beauty hidden away in the emperor's palace that year.

Back then, she was just a stand-in for that woman.

The emperor even slept with her, considering her that damned woman.

The emperor only saw her as a substitute, and he didn't want her to give birth to an heir for him at all.

So every time she spent the night there, someone would bring her a bowl of contraceptive soup the next day.

Even abort soup can have unexpected times.

Although she truly didn't want to become pregnant at that time, because she knew the emperor wouldn't set foot in her room again after she was pregnant.

But when she discovered that even after drinking the contraceptive decoction, she was still pregnant, she was overjoyed.

After all, they were the emperor's children.

Although she is the young mistress of the Western Regions' scholarly clan, in matters of the heart she is just an ordinary woman. She too desires to bear children for the man she loves.

So at that time, she also held great anticipation for the child in her womb.

She still thought her child in her womb was, after all, the emperor's. Though this child did not arrive as the emperor wished, when he knew about it, he should have felt something, and would treat her and the child better.

Unbeknownst to her, when she told the emperor about her pregnancy, his face immediately darkened.

Without a word, he ordered someone to make a bowl of Luózi soup.

He had her boil a decoction of loquat seeds, which was bad enough, but he even personally fed it to her.

Remembering what happened back then, Chi'er's eyes were filled with even more intense hatred.

Her icy gaze fell upon the Emperor's face. Suddenly, she extended her right hand and lightly touched his face, speaking in a chilling voice, "Your Majesty, you are truly heartless towards me. At that time, any concubine in the palace could give birth to your child, why couldn't it be me, Zhi'er"

"Just because I am merely a substitute for that woman So Your Majesty can recklessly deprive me of my maternal rights, and cruelly murder the child in my womb"

"Ah... my child will not live to see adulthood, and the rest of Your Majesty's children should not expect an easy life either."

“I was planning to wait until I had some free time and deal with Your Majesty’s children one by one, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't even need to make a move. Your Majesty's sons are already killing each other. This is exactly what I wanted.”

Since they are willing to kill each other, this concubine... of course will satisfy them.

After saying this, Zhi'er's face turned cold. She immediately withdrew her hand from the emperor's face.

After pressing down the hatred in her heart, when she opened her eyes again, the emperor lying on the bed also slowly opened his eyes.

......

After the emperor woke up, Zhi'er immediately told him about Mo Yunren.tly, "This Fourth Prince has big ambitions. He wants our trading company to become a royal merchant, making him money!""So what does he want to do now Just force Ding Hua to hand over the entire Hai C...
