Chapter 382 Anyone who touches her will die!
"Your Highness Consort Yue, I am Xianhuai," Song Siyao said calmly.
Consort Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, "This is showing too much of a pregnancy."
She glanced at Shen Pei sitting opposite her, then looked away and continued to speak to Song Siyao, "Your Highness, I remember that you were pregnant during the time you went to quell the rebellion. The rebels were at Fengshadu at the time, which is quite close to the Yan Kingdom."
Song Siyao's gaze turned icy. "What is Consort Yue trying to say?"
"I was just chatting idly, Your Highness, why are you so nervous?" Consort Yue laughed freely, her words brimming with provocation.
"My beloved concubine, what are you talking about?" Emperor Changlong was originally talking to Shen Pei, but he had seen the way Consort Yue looked at Shen Pei earlier, so he followed her gaze and saw that Consort Yue was talking to Song Siyao.
"Your Majesty, I only casually mentioned that the Crown Princess's pregnancy was not quite in sync with her due date, and she got angry." Consort Yue pouted, her face full of grievance.
Emperor Changlong frowned slightly. "Yaoyao is broad-minded; she wouldn't get angry over a thoughtless remark you made."
Consort Yue looked at Song Siyao, a barely perceptible sneer curling at the corner of her lips.
Then, Emperor Changlong's voice rang out again, "However, my beloved concubine, you really shouldn't have said those words."
Emperor Changlong's tone was not harsh, but it was accusatory.
He publicly reprimanded Consort Yue, who was the most favored concubine in the palace, which was unprecedented.
As is widely known, Emperor Changlong's favoritism towards Consort Yue had reached the point of unbridled indulgence.
He actually dared to embarrass Consort Yue in front of everyone for Song Siyao's sake, which shows that Song Siyao's position in Emperor Changlong's heart has reached an unparalleled level.
Consort Yue's face turned pale, her eyes filled with sorrow. "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. I was only worried about the Crown Princess."
Emperor Changlong looked at Consort Yue with an unreadable expression in his eyes. "My dear consort, you are very thoughtful. Tonight is a night of reunion, so let's only talk about happy things."
The warning in his words was quite clear.
Consort Yue wished she could dig a hole and disappear into it, her face full of embarrassment.
At this moment, her title of being the most favored concubine sounded like a joke.
She was Emperor Changlong's favorite concubine, but she couldn't even compare to the Crown Princess.
Consort Yue pursed her lips, clutched her handkerchief, lowered her eyes, and her eyes churned with boundless hatred.
Seeing that Consort Yue had been reprimanded, Consort De was secretly delighted and said with a smile, "Sister, the Crown Princess is no ordinary person. It is understandable that her pregnancy is not in accordance with the actual stage. Besides, the Crown Prince will take care of this matter, so you don't need to worry about it."
Upon hearing this, Consort Yue smiled and said, "What you say is true, Consort Yue. I was just being nosy."
The flames that had just appeared were extinguished by Emperor Changlong, but just then, that fool Consort De reignited them.
Consort Yue looked smug.
"Your Highnesses, I will take care of my Crown Princess myself, so you need not trouble yourselves. You should mind your own business." Shen Pei's tone was icy, and his words were clearly filled with anger.
Emperor Changlong's gaze fell on Consort De. "Consort De, now that you are in charge of the six palaces, is this how you set an example for women across the land? Openly speaking ill of the Crown Princess in front of her!"
Consort De immediately knelt on the ground, saying, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Her eyes darted around, and she shifted the topic to Consort Yue. "Consort Yue just had a miscarriage. I was worried that she might be upset because of what happened earlier, which would affect her recovery. That's why I said those things to cheer her up."
Emperor Changlong's reprimand of her was much harsher than that of Consort Yue.
Only by dragging Consort Yue into this mess can she be safe.
