Selling wife for fame? Kick out the scumbag and marry the new emperor to enjoy the harem of favors

Chapter 90 Change
Sun Baolin's words were like a sharp blade, deeply hurting Wanqiu's heart.

Yes, in the past, their Sun family had a simple population and there were no twists and turns. From the master to the servants, most of them were simple-minded. But now that they have entered the palace, not to mention Sun Baolin, even Wanqiu herself has changed a lot.

This palace is a melting pot. Anyone who enters will change. It is also a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. If you do something wrong, you will be doomed.

Wanqiu really didn't know how to comfort Sun Baolin. She just bit her lips tightly and started crying.

After a long time, the tears in Sun Baolin's eyes stopped, and he asked in a low voice.

"The one who escorted me back today must be Concubine Xie."

"Yes." Wan Qiu nodded. "Jieyu didn't know that while you were unconscious, there was another commotion outside. The Empress speculated that you were knocked down by the Fourth Prince and that Concubine Zhuang had instructed the Fourth Prince to do it. Then she speculated that the Fourth Prince didn't knock you down and that you fell on your own, and that Jieyu Xie and Princess Wenxi had given false testimony."

Hearing this, Sun Baolin's face showed some anger.

"When I first became pregnant, the Queen came to see me in person, giving me all kinds of gentle advice. I just thought she was a virtuous and kind mistress, but I never thought it was all an illusion. The first time I got pregnant was because of her. She was also playing tricks back then, eager to use me and plot against everyone in the harem. This time, she might be trying to repeat the same trick!"

Now Sun Baolin really has no trust in the queen at all.

No matter how stupid she was, she would never believe that the person who attacked her last time was a maidservant beside the queen.

How could a palace maid plan so meticulously and be able to carry it out perfectly?
"Fortunately, the Empress Dowager came and stopped the commotion. However, the Empress Dowager felt sorry for her grandson, the Fourth Prince, and did not tell anyone that the Fourth Prince had intentionally injured someone. She only said it was an accident." Wanqiu was a little unhappy.

Although the Fourth Prince is young, he does have malicious intent to hurt others.

Sun Baolin smiled bitterly, "I could have thought of it earlier. It was all about the heir. The Fourth Prince's biological mother is Concubine Zhuang. I'm just a little Baolin. The baby in my belly is still unknown. The Queen Mother and the Emperor will definitely not hurt the Fourth Prince for my child. At most, they will punish Concubine Zhuang."

After being in the palace for a long time, Sun Baolin was no longer as innocent as before, and he thought too much.

"Baolin, don't be too sad. The emperor still values ​​you. Concubine Zhuang was punished to be confined to the house for a month. During this period, the fourth prince was taken to Fukang Palace by the empress dowager for education. Now the fourth prince has been sent away. Concubine Zhuang is very sad." Wanqiu comforted.

Sun Baolin was a little surprised when he heard this. "The Emperor actually took the Fourth Prince away from Concubine Zhuang?"

Compared with house arrest, the separation of mother and child is obviously more serious.

"Yes, it shows that the emperor still values ​​you. You should not underestimate yourself." Wan Qiu said softly.

These words really gave Sun Baolin strength.

The hand covering her lower abdomen tightened slightly.

"Your Majesty, you must still have some affection for me, otherwise you wouldn't have re-investigated my first miscarriage and punished the Queen for it."

Sometimes it's okay not to know the truth.

If Sun Baolin knew that Zhao Xingjin did not reopen the case for her last time, but that it was actually Xie Jiu's counterattack against the Queen, forcing Zhao Xingjin to deal with the Queen; and that this time, Zhao Xingjin asked the Queen Mother to take the Fourth Prince away, not to punish Concubine Zhuang for separating mother and son, but because he was worried that the Fourth Prince would have a bad temper because of Concubine Zhuang, so he asked the Queen Mother to take care of it.

At this moment, if Sun Baolin thought clearly and knew that all this was not for her, he would probably feel even more desperate and helpless.

"I should also cheer myself up. At least nothing can happen and I need to give birth to this child safely." Sun Baolin encouraged himself, "Wanqiu, prepare some gifts and send them to Concubine Xie tomorrow. This time, I owe her a favor."

Wan Qiu nodded, and finally said, "In fact, I think Concubine Xie may not be as bad as the rumors say. This time when you were in trouble, she didn't need to help you, but she still helped you, which shows that she has good intentions. I think you might be able to make friends with her. After all, the Queen and Concubine Zhuang treated you badly and are also at odds with her."

The enemy of my enemy can be my friend. This simple truth was understood by both the master and the servant. Sun Baolin's eyes moved. "Let me think about it. Right now, protecting my pregnancy is my top priority. Let's wait and see."

You can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. Sun Baolin was deceived by the queen's false gentleness once, and now he really doesn't dare to trust anyone.

Hearing this, Wanqiu nodded and said nothing more.

The next day.

Because Concubine Zhuang was under house arrest, the morning greetings in the Weiyang Palace were much calmer.

In other words, the Queen and Xie Jiu had a verbal fight, but Xie Jiu never suffered any loss, so the Queen still did not get any good result, so she turned around and took her anger out on Concubine Wei.

Concubine Wei was punished to kneel yesterday, and was used as a punching bag today. It was rare for her to get angry, and she said bluntly that she would go to Chengming Palace to ask the emperor for justice.

This shot scared the queen a little, and she didn't continue.

We said good morning and then dispersed.

I originally thought Concubine Wei was just saying it casually, but I didn't expect that after coming out of Weiyang Palace, she really went straight to Chengming Palace.

Xie Jiu saw this and thought to himself that this guy was really stubborn.

Fortunately, Zhao Xingjin is not the kind of person who easily believes in slander and pillow talk. Otherwise, if any of the concubines disliked Wei Jieyu so much and tried to show off in front of Zhao Xingjin, Wei Jieyu would probably have a very difficult life.

"Thank you, Concubine."

Liu Baolin's voice interrupted Xie Jiu's thoughts.

Xie Jiu turned around and saw her looking at him eagerly. He immediately said, "Don't worry, your matter will surely have a result soon. Just wait patiently for the next two days. Don't make any rash moves. I have already made arrangements."

Hearing this, Liu Baolin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Xie Jiu.

"I have no way of repaying the kindness of your wife for helping me. If you need me in any way in the future, please just ask and I will do my best!"

"You're being too polite." Xie Jiu reached out to help her up, his face gentle, "I just saw injustice and helped."

Liu Baolin said seriously, "Although the Concubine said so, I know in my heart that if the Concubine had not intervened, my brother's life would have been ruined by the Liang family. After this incident, I have also thought a lot more clearly."

At this point, Liu Baolin's face showed a bit of helplessness.

"In the past, I just kept a low profile and avoided the world, hoping not to cause trouble for my family, just like Concubine Wei. But now I realize that people are different. Concubine Wei can live without fighting or competing because her family is powerful and can support her. Even if she is not favored, she can still live a good life. But I come from a humble family. If I don't fight, I will have no place to stand."

Xie Jiu looked at her with sympathy in her eyes, but her heart was complicated. She knew that after this incident, Liu Baolin would change.

Xie Jiu didn't dare to say whether such a change was good or bad, it was just a choice.

Therefore, Xie Jiu only asked, "So what are your plans for the future?"

"I'm a foolish concubine, yet I beg for your help. I can't say how much I can be of use, but I will never forget your kindness and will remain loyal to you." Liu Baolin's eyes grew firmer. "My brother was able to escape this time, but he must have completely offended the Liang family. If I can't gain your favor and protect my mother's family, and the Liang family retaliates in the future, will I still have to ask for your help? I simply can't bring myself to do that."
