“Qing’ er?”

Su Hanxuan saw his daughter walking over in giant strides. He had not seen her for almost two months and greatly missed her. Other than missing her, he was also worried. His daughter was always risking her life. As a parent, his heart was in his throat.

“Father.”

“Uncle.”

Su Qing greeted her father and foster father, Luan Qingshan, with a smile when he saw them. Luan Qingshan was now a first-grade official, and his temperament differed from when he was in the Jingshi Dao. He was very dignified.

“Qing’ er has returned.”

Luan Qingshan said to Su Qing with a smile. People were in high spirits when it came to happy events. There was an unconcealable smile on his face.

“Congratulations, this is a boy.”

Zhou Bo, who had been silent all this while, suddenly congratulated Luan Qingshan. The smile on Luan Qingshan’s face became even wider when he heard that. He bowed to Zhou Bo and said,

“Thank you, Taoist priest. Thank you for your words.”

“My aunt is pregnant?”

Su Qing didn’t expect her aunt to be pregnant. She seemed to be in her forties. She was already considered an old clam that had given birth to a pearl!

Uncle and aunt only had one daughter, Luan Hong. After that, she never got pregnant again. How could they not be happy when she got pregnant?Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

” Su Qing, it’s all thanks to the medicine you prescribed for your aunt. She has been cured of her cold abdomen and unbearable abdominal pain for many years, and now she’s pregnant.”

Luan Qingshan smiled proudly. Although he used to say having a daughter was enough, who wouldn’t be happy to have a son?

After all, the son was the one who carried on the family line, while the daughter’s child had the son-in-law’s surname!

“Aunt’s palace is icy. I just gave her a prescription.”

Su Qing didn’t want to take the credit. She didn’t expect that her aunt’s illness had been cured and she had a piece of fertile land. How long had it been? Was she already pregnant?

Thinking about Yun’er and Ziqi, they were about to have an uncle who was younger than them.

Luan Hong had just given birth to her second child, and her mother had already surprised her. She wondered how Luan Hong would feel after hearing this news.

Salt Official Li Wei was the one who was not afraid of death. The main thing was that the Emperor intended to change the salt’s official position. One should know that the salt official position was worth ten thousand taels of silver a year, which was the most lucrative position.

Of course, Li Wei didn’t want to lose this lucrative position, so he set his sights on his daughter, Li Xiangxiang, whom he had spent a lot of money to raise since she was young.

He spent a lot of money to send Li Xiangxiang into the palace to be a palace maid. Li Xiangxiang also had her methods. After entering the palace, she spent money to bribe everyone. She turned into a big palace maid from an ordinary palace maid and was sent to the Emperor’s side.

Today was Li Xiangxiang’s first day on duty. She had long been secretly in love with this most powerful man in the world. He was magnificent and handsome. Only such a man was worthy of her service.

She thought that she was beautiful and charming. He would dote on her as long as she could get close to the Emperor.

She was confident she could control the harem alone if she could get the Emperor’s favor. One must know that to serve the Emperor well and make him infatuated with her, she had specially gone to the brothel to observe and learn for several days. She had thoroughly learned the moves of a woman serving a man. The result was that that scene would appear every night when she closed her eyes. She had long been eager to taste the forbidden fruit.

Xiao Zeyu was reading the memorials without any distractions. Had the palace maids been changed? Who was it? It didn’t make any difference to him as long as she was good.

Xiao Zeyu was in the middle of reviewing the memorial when he suddenly heard a sweet and soft voice beside him,

“Emperor, can this servant grind ink for you?”

Xiao Zeyu’s face turned stern when he heard this voice. He ordered coldly,

“Drag her out.”

“Emperor?”

Li Xiangxiang did not expect Xiao Zeyu to order her to be dragged out without even glancing at her. She was initially full of confidence, thinking that as long as the Emperor saw her beautiful face, he would be intoxicated by her. She did not expect it to end up like this.

“Kill with a cane.”

It would have been better if Li Xiangxiang did not call out the Emperor. Hearing her voice of disbelief, Xiao Zeyu immediately gave the order to be beaten to death.

Li Xiangxiang’s legs went soft. She no longer bothered to seduce Xiao Zeyu. She knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

“Your Majesty, this servant only wants to share your worries. Please spare my life!”

Xiao Zeyu looked coldly at the guard. The guard was so frightened that he quickly dragged Li Xiangxiang out. The palace maids looked down and mourned for Li Xiangxiang.

Who didn’t know that the Emperor only had the Empress in his heart? This new palace maid was ambitious and wanted to use her beauty to climb up the tree. She was asking for it.

When the young eunuch came to report, he saw that Li Xiangxiang was pressed on a stool and being beaten. He did not stop and hurriedly walked into Yangxin Palace Hall. Once he entered, he knelt on the ground and reported,

“Reporting to the Emperor, the Empress has returned to the palace..”
