QT: TPE Chapter 46.1

If Gui Fei falls seriously ill, Princess Minghua will definitely have to enter the palace.

After all, she is a child they have doted on for so many years, so the Emperor and Empress Dowager won’t bear to prevent her from entering the palace to see her birth mother.

That’s when Princess Minghua had her chance.

During this period of time, she has been staying in His Majesty’s palace, and it is not very convenient for her to do some things.

So Xu Lingyi plans to move back to her own palace.

“Your Majesty, I am about to give birth. May my mother enter the palace?”

Although Xu Lingyi knew that the Emperor would definitely agree, she still asked for his consent in a cautious tone.

The Emperor nodded gently: “Of course. That’s what we planned before, but I’ve been so busy that I forgot. Tomorrow, your mother will come to the palace to take care of you.”

Xu Lingyi nestled into the Emperor’s arms, saying, “Thank you, Your Majesty. I like you very much.”

“Your Majesty, after Mother entered the palace, I wish to return to my own palace.” Xu Lingyi said, looking up at the Emperor’s expression.

The Emperor looked at her belly, knowing that he could take care of her at any time while she was staying here, which put his mind at ease.

But in the end, the Emperor agreed.

Now that she is about to give birth, Mrs. Xu’s entry into the palace is a good thing for Xu Lingyi. With her mother by her side, she will always feel more at ease.

“Alright. But when you move back to the inner palace, be careful of the concubines and try not to be with them. Although I have sent people to protect you, I am still afraid that something might happen.”

Xu Lingyi nodded.

She wasn’t actually afraid of being plotted against; she had a special ability to manipulate things, and in fact, she hoped that the Emperor would withdraw these secret guards.

Fortunately, they didn’t follow her into the palace; they simply hid in the shadows and followed her at a distance when she went out.

Only then could Xu Lingyi reluctantly accept it.

“Your Majesty, I understand. Rest assured, I will protect myself and our child.”

After several months away, Xu Lingyi felt somewhat out of place returning to her palace.

To be honest, the Emperor’s palace is far superior in every way compared to hers, making it much more comfortable to live in.

However, for peace of mind, her own residence is, of course, the best.

“Nanny, how is Li Shi doing?” Xu Lingyi inquired about the situation.

Nanny Zhang nodded: “Your Highness, please rest assured. Everything is proceeding according to plan.”

Li Shi’s days in the Cold Palace were not easy. Now that the Princess had not entered the palace for a long time, the palace servants understood that Princess Minghua had lost the favor of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

As the birth mother of the princess, Li Shi had now been deposed and had lost the Emperor’s favor, status, and position.

Even her only support, Princess Minghua, had lost power.

She naturally wouldn’t receive any special treatment and would be treated the same as everyone else in the Cold Palace.

Because she had dealt with many concubines and made things difficult for her when she was managing the harem, these people even went to the Cold Palace to kick her when she was down.

One could only imagine what her life was like.

In addition, the conditions in the Cold Palace were poor, and she lived there for a long time, which caused her to catch a cold and fall ill several times, making her constitution much weaker than before.

While the concubines mocked Li Shi, they also brought news of Xu Shi’s pregnancy.

When she learned that Xu Lingyi, whom she disliked, was pregnant, Li Shi went from disbelief to utter impotence and rage.

She kept cursing viciously, “How dare that b*tch get pregnant? How could she possibly be pregnant? I’m the only one in this palace who’s lucky enough to give birth to a child. That b*tch’s baby must be stillborn.”

Xu Lingyi had these words relayed to the Emperor by the palace servants who were supposed to be serving the deposed concubine.

Li Shi was then punished by the Emperor again, being slapped in the face and forced to kneel.
