Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 157 I will never let Liu Ruyan live through this spring

"I was so angry that I started arguing with them..."

At this point, Xun You knelt down and said, "It is my fault that I did not do my job well and did not bring back dinner. Please punish me, my lady."

Liu Ruyan frowned and said, "Didn't I warn you to be careful with your words and actions and keep a low profile these days? Why are you still..."

It's not that she was afraid of those slaves who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak, but New Year's Eve was getting closer and closer, and she didn't want to cause any trouble at this critical moment.

"What they said was really rude. Not only did they insult me, but they also belittled me..."

Seeing Liu Ruyan's expression, Xun You lowered her head and apologized again: "I know I was wrong, my lady, please calm down..."

Now she only has such a capable person by her side. Liu Ruyan sighed and stepped forward to help Xunyou up: "Forget it, you are also loyal to me."

"If you don't have His Majesty's favor in the harem, even if you are pregnant with the 'royal heir', there will be countless people who will look down on you. But you wait and see, we won't live like this for too long!"

Xunyou lowered his eyes, hiding the deep light in his eyes: "Yes."

……

Tingyu Pavilion.

The reason why he wanted to get Liu Ruyan's nails was to let Tang Luochuan verify whether she was really pregnant or pretended to be pregnant by taking the secret medicine from the outside of the Great Wall. Now that he had gotten the answer from Xunyou, there was no need to do it again.

Shen Zhinian ordered: "It's getting late. Tomorrow morning, send someone to Shangxiang Palace to invite Concubine Kang to come over."

"Yes."

Then, Shen Zhinian wrote in the letter where Madam Liu was currently living and where her son was working. Then he asked Fuqiu to send someone to send the secret letter out of the palace and give it to Shen's father.

The next day, after breakfast, Concubine Kang came over.

Although it had been a long time since the miscarriage, and Kang Guiren recovered under the careful care of the imperial physician, there was always a hint of sadness between her brows.

The emperor is ruthless and the palace is lonely. For many concubines, children are their only hope. Otherwise, how can they get through this long night?

But she didn't know she was pregnant, and her child was killed. This is an indelible pain in Kang Guiren's heart!

But when she entered the room, Concubine Kang put away the sadness on her face, forced a smile, and exchanged a greeting with Shen Zhinian: "Sister Rou."

"You asked Handan to invite me over so early, but what happened?"

Shen Zhinian did not answer directly, but handed Xunyou's confession over and said in a complicated tone: "Sister Kang, read it yourself..."

What is recorded above is the truth about Concubine Kang’s miscarriage!

After reading it, her eyes were filled with rage, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I knew long ago that Xunmei, a palace maid, would not be so bold. But without evidence, there is nothing I can do to that vicious woman Liu Ruyan!"

At this point, Concubine Kang choked up and said, "My poor child was killed by her before he even had the chance to see this world!"

"Sister Rou, thank you so much! As long as you give this testimony to His Majesty, Liu Ruyan will be dead for sure. I can finally avenge my child!"

Shen Zhinian stood up and stopped her: "Sister Kang, please be patient!"

Concubine Kang's eyes were filled with tears: "Sister Rou, what do you mean?"

Shen Zhinian pushed her back into the chair and calmly analyzed: "If you don't kill the snake, you will be bitten by it. Since we want to attack Liu Ruyan, we must kill her! Otherwise, with her scheming and cunning, she will definitely counterattack once she finds an opportunity."

"But this winter, a severe wind disaster hit Yangzhou, accompanied by heavy snow and hail. Not only were a large number of houses destroyed, but many people were also killed and injured. Liu Ruyan's father, the governor of Yangzhou, is urgently dealing with this natural disaster."

"It's been a long time since Sister Kang's miscarriage. Your Majesty's pain of losing a child... must have faded. Now, the most important thing to your Majesty is the people of Yangzhou."

"Even if my sister reported this to the emperor, His Majesty would not kill her for the sake of the people's peace of mind in Yangzhou and to allow Liu Ruyan's father to deal with the natural disaster with peace of mind."

Concubine Kang asked in surprise, "The natural disaster happened in Yangzhou, and the concubines only heard about it. Why does Sister Rou know it so clearly?"

Of course, it was because Xiao Ma and Yuan Bao were once the emperor's servants. Although they were serving in Tingyu Pavilion now, their past connections were still there. It was still easy to find out some things.

But Shen Zhinian did not answer this question, but just said: "Also... How did Liu Ruyan know that Sister Kang was pregnant? How could she, a newcomer to the palace, have the ability to kill Sister Kang's child?"

"Sister Kang wants to get rid of Liu Ruyan and avenge her child. Does that mean she will just ignore the mastermind behind this?"

Concubine Kang tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, the veins on the back of her hand popped out, and she said with red eyes: "It's the Queen!"

"Liu Ruyan is her person, she must be the one behind this!"

"When the Queen was still a princess in the Qiandi Palace, she was virtuous and kind. Later, when she entered the Eastern Palace, her virtue was even praised by the late Emperor. After Your Majesty ascended the throne, everyone felt that the Queen was kind and loving to the six palaces... I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."

"She is so sick and dying, yet she still wants to harm my child! The queen has such a cruel heart!"

Shen Zhinian sighed: "The Queen is indeed seriously ill, but there are still people in the Zhenguo Mansion. How could she tolerate that your Majesty's eldest son was not born by a woman in the Zhenguo Mansion..."

"Since Sister Kang understands everything, don't act impulsively."

Concubine Kang grabbed Shen Zhinian's hand, as if she had grabbed her last hope. With tears on her face, she begged, "But...but I can't even beat Liu Ruyan, how can I be the opponent of the Queen? Sister Rou, you are so powerful, there must be a way! Isn't it?"

Shen Zhinian patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "If there was no other way, I wouldn't have asked Handan to invite Sister Kang over."

"It's just that... the queen is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, her family is prominent, and she doesn't have much time left. Even for the sake of their relationship, Your Majesty will not really do anything to her just because of one or two mistakes."

Concubine Kang nodded with tears in her eyes: "I understand. I didn't expect that we could completely overthrow the Queen with our strength. But she must pay a heavy price for this!"

"And Liu Ruyan, she must die!!!"

A hint of cruelty flashed across Shen Zhinian's eyes: "Don't worry, Sister Kang, I will never let Liu Ruyan survive the Spring Festival! But the next plan still requires your cooperation."

Concubine Kang said firmly: "Sister is dull and can't give Sister Rou any advice. But as long as Sister Rou gives orders, sister will do whatever she tells her to do!"
