Chapter 154 The Queen Who Used as a Shield in a Good Pregnancy Novel (4)

Back at Weiyang Palace, Leyan told the worried Baiyu to go back and rest, and then she drifted off into a daze.

She recalled the matter of the Ninth Prince Wen Songzhi, the powerful eunuch who controlled the East and West Depots. He was Li Yanxiu's most ruthless lackey, and he handled all the things that were difficult to do openly.

For example, killing some officials that Li Yanxiu disliked.

Tonight, he's probably dealing with some shady business, and she just happened to stumble upon it.

Thinking of Wen Songzhi's words and actions just now, Le Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

Based on past experience, it seems she can use Wen Songzhi to achieve certain goals.

Le Yan lowered her eyes slightly, pondering to herself.

The most important thing for her right now is to avoid Li Yanxiu, otherwise, she's afraid something bad might happen.

Her constitution is both good and bad; if she attracts any annoying flies, she'll be disgusted.

No matter how much Le Yan pondered, it would be difficult for her to keep avoiding Li Yanxiu indefinitely, unless the female lead Ruan Ruan made a greater effort and won over Li Yanxiu's attention sooner, giving her some breathing room.

With her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, Le Yan began to ponder.

She glanced up at the large "忍" (patience) character hanging on the wall and sighed slightly.

The next day, a second-class palace maid walked out of Weiyang Palace, wandered around haphazardly, and then entered the Directorate of Ceremonial.

"My lord, someone from Weiyang Palace has arrived."

Wen Songzhi, who was originally engrossed in the painting in his hand, immediately looked up upon hearing this and said, "Let her in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young palace maid entered, respectfully curtsied, and whispered, "Master, the information you requested about Her Majesty the Empress has been compiled. Would you like to take a look?"

"Send it up."

Wen Songzhi's expression was indifferent, but his eyes flashed with a few glints.

Last night, he encountered the Empress in the Cold Palace who seemed somewhat different from before. He then used the pawn he had planted in the Weiyang Palace to compile all the Empress's affairs over the years and send them to him.

Fortunately, this was the task of these pawns anyway. After presenting a large stack of documents, the little palace maid prepared to leave.

"and many more."

While reviewing the documents, Wen Songzhi ordered, "Guard the Empress well. If anything happens, notify me immediately."

" ... ... yes."

Upon hearing the order, the previously expressionless palace maid glanced at Wen Songzhi with some confusion and surprise. Why did the supervisor suddenly become so interested in the Empress?

It should be noted that although she had been placed in Weiyang Palace for five years, she had never been summoned by the Eunuch, let alone ordered by the Eunuch to keep a close eye on the Empress.

After a moment of thought, she realized that she had to follow the supervisor's orders, which did not affect her confusion.

However, Wen Songzhi did not explain his actions to her. He was in a hurry to look up information about the Empress, so he dismissed his subordinates.

Wen Songzhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he read through the records of the emperor and empress's interactions, his eyes filled with interest, heartache, and hidden resentment.

As he suspected, the emperor and empress did not have a very good relationship.

But he didn't know that behind the seemingly deep love that the world saw was the emperor's hypocritical face and the empress's painful forbearance.

For eight years, did she live such a life of unspeakable suffering?

Wen Songzhi clenched his fists, unable to bear thinking about those years.

He shifted his gaze from the documents to the distant Weiyang Palace, the image of the Empress from the previous night flashing through his mind, and made a decision.

The Empress must have something to do.

And he can help her.

Weiyang Palace

Le Yan, who was having her meal, suddenly shivered, and the hand holding the soup bowl trembled involuntarily.

what happened?

Is someone targeting her?

This familiar premonition made Le Yan think of Wen Songzhi, whom she had met last night.

She quickly looked up, glanced around at the busy palace maids and eunuchs inside and outside the hall, and then asked Bai Yu seemingly casually, "Where is Yu Rui?"

Yu Rui, as described in the book, is a pawn that the Ninth Prince Wen Songzhi routinely placed in the Weiyang Palace.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu turned around and looked around for a while, then frowned somewhat angrily: "This girl must have gone to slack off again."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will teach her a good lesson later."

As a second-class palace maid, although she didn't have as much face in front of the master as the senior palace maids, the master still remembered her. How could she be nowhere to be found when the master was looking for her?

Bai Yu was indignant. This girl must be taking advantage of the Empress's good temper and the fact that she wouldn't punish the palace servants arbitrarily, which is why she has become increasingly bold and often slacks off.

Le Yan had a guess about where Yu Rui had gone. If she wasn't mistaken, it was definitely related to Wen Songzhi.

She lowered her eyes and blew on the steaming porridge. The rising steam obscured Le Yan's expression. She shook her head with a faint smile: "Yu Rui is young. Don't scold her. She's afraid of you."

Bai Yu puffed out her cheeks and said, "Your Majesty, she's not young anymore, she's already eighteen. You always spoil her, how is she supposed to grow up?"

Le Yan smiled and looked at her: "I always spoil you, and you've grown up, haven't you?"

"Oh, Your Majesty!"

The mistress and servant were chatting and laughing when Bai Zhi rushed in, "Your Highness!"

"Miss!"

Bai Zhi, panting, said, "Your Majesty, good news!"

She glanced around and, seeing that only her mistress and Bai Yu were there, quickly lowered her voice and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, news has come from Qianqing Palace that the Emperor has taken in a cleaning maid and promoted her to a tea-serving maid in the Imperial Study."

Le Yan raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

Bai Yu was so excited she almost jumped for joy. "Really?!"

These two senior palace maids, who knew some of the inside story, were just like their mistress, hoping that the emperor would spend more time with other women so that he could focus his attention on others and stop coming to Weiyang Palace to torment their mistress.

If the emperor hadn't looked down on them, they would have even climbed into the emperor's bed for their mistress.

As long as there are more concubines in the palace, their empress will no longer be cursed by the world as a wicked empress.

Thinking of the disrespectful words she heard about her mistress every time she went out of the palace to shop, Bai Yu and Bai Zhi's eyes reddened.

"Your Majesty, it's rare for the Emperor to mention a palace maid. He must have taken a liking to her. You'll soon be able to relax a bit."

Looking at the two palace maids in front of her, who were trying their best to control themselves with tears in their eyes, Le Yan felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

If they knew that their goddess had already departed, they would be heartbroken.

Le Yan lowered her head in a bad mood. After a moment of sadness, she was filled with anger.

It's all that disgusting emperor's fault!

It's obvious that she can't have children, but she still insists on dragging the original owner down with her, making her a target to bear the blame and contempt for herself. It's utterly disgusting!

How could someone like that be considered a great emperor of all time?!

Le Yan is sharpening her knife, she must be...
