OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 101 AWAITS NEWS FROM XINGWU

The seventh day after Xiao Yi's return, the people in the palace were busy discussing a plan to inaugurate concubine Yi's appointment as Consort Furen or the main concubine of His Highness Yan Yue.

With a letter that the king's seal had been dissolved on the day of Xiao Yi's departure a month ago to Youwu to treat Yuan's concubine, he said, His Highness Yan Yue had designated Consort Yi in writing as the mistress of Furen despite having not yet held an official appointment at the Guangli hall.

His Majesty's real purpose, establishing that status at the time of Xiao Yi's departure was to secure the concubine's passage.

If he traveled out of the palace for a long time still bearing the status of a low-level concubine, then one would easily harm him.

Not to mention Governor Qian Lie would naturally act arbitrarily and more boldly to Xiao Yi.

But if an honorable furen were of course Governor Qian would think hundreds of times before acting and again all the safety responsibilities of concubine Yi were in his hands. The mistake of anyone harming Xiao Yi was certainly fatal to Governor Qian.

The promise of an official coronation is still uncertain, because the Harem leadership, the palace of the concubines, Empress Zhao Li Sui strongly opposed it.

Consort Yi was considered still not worthy of the title of leader of the concubines. His Majesty insisted on carrying out this intention with the consent or not of the Queen Mother.

While confusing to everyone, Consort Yi did not respond at all. He said nothing, neither accepting nor rejecting.

And what makes things even more strange, there is a rumor that Consort Yi is not well, some say he was exposed to frostbite due to the influence of temperature in Duyao cave, and some say he was exposed to cold sores, some say due to exhaustion concubine Yi was experiencing an indistinct fever.

Whatever bad news from within Xingwu's guesthouse that was circulating certainly pleased the queen mother. The pain experienced by concubine Yi was very well known, due to the medicine given by healer Li Sung.

Soon she will receive the good news, that Consort Yi has miscarried due to misdiagnosis and medication given by the healer is the cause.

Whatever happens, the queen mother only knows, there will be no crown prince born in Weiyan's palace. His grand plan to take over the throne was soon to come to pass. His decades-old dream of making his own descendants the leaders was no longer just an empty dream.

His efforts are so hard, planning and even committing various crimes to become a real ruler and admitted soon become real.

His decades of suffering ruled himself out as a mother, the loss of time to fondle his own child will pay off.

The Queen Mother looked at her handcuffs, which could hide an aging wrinkle, although her face was always as fresh as a teenage girl.

In the hand it has been decorated with bloodstains for years. To achieve his unspeakable ambition.

"Darling Shue..."The Queen Mother called the head of Dayang who was preparing tea pots and cakes from peanut flour processed in such a way as to snack Suri's mother.

"Yes, Your Highness the Queen Mother." Dayang Shue poured a cup of tea and gave it to Suri's mother's hand.

"Has the physician Li Sung been sent out of the palace, to a place that he could not find for a while?" ask the Queen Mother.

"Yes, Your Highness the queen mother. I've arranged everything."Answer Dayang Shue.

The Queen Mother looked towards Dayang who looked much older than her, a satisfied smile stopped at the corner of her lips. Not only satisfied to hear Dayang Shue's answer but to see how he managed to stop time and not age like Dayang Shue.

Dayang Shue is the chief of the palace, is the highest lady-in-waiting who takes care of all the harem household affairs even the palace where the king lives.

In the past, she was a maid of the queen mother and was always on the side of the queen mother from the time she was young, where she was as old as her employer.

The first time the queen mother entered the palace as the concubine of King Yan Houcun, she was only a special concubine due to her parents' standing. The son of a noble from the Zhao family, made him looked over by the citizens of the palace.

The Zhao family is one of the families that is respected because it is considered one of the founders of the Yanzhi kingdom.

The greatest reward for his bravery and loyalty bestowed by the old King Yan who was elected to the Zhao nobility was to establish that the son of the family had always been the hereditary commander of the kingdom.

The beautiful Zhao Li Sui was a proud and cunning girl from her youth for receiving indulgence and luxury from her feet still red.

Unfortunately, King Yan Houcun, the father of His Majesty Yan Yue had married first to the daughter of Xu Jiao, his own cousin and made Xu Jiao empress by her father's decree, so long as the main empress was alive she would never be able to sit as queen.

King Yan Houcun is a female lover, she has one main empress, Queen Xu Jiao, 9 concubines from various regions, 4 concubines of her own choice from among the nobility.

Zhao Li Sui with her lips charmed the king, making him infatuated with her and becoming his mistress Furen. The most beloved concubine of the king among his wives.

The sky said another, when two wives of the king were pregnant at the same time. In early spring, two happy tidings visited the palace. Queen Xu Jiao and concubine Zhao Li Sui were pregnant.

But the pregnancy that made the king so happy was not going well.

When it came to childbirth, Queen Xu Jiao gave birth to a handsome healthy son but the following week, Consort Zhao Li Sui gave birth to a son but died when she was born.

And the one who helped Zhao Li Sui give birth back then was only two people. Dayang Shue and the court physician who the next day died strangely, drowned in the well behind the harem palace.

After queen Xu Jiao died, the sky sided with her. She was made the chief consort in place of the queen.

"Darang Shue, today is the last day of the physician Li Sung's promise. There should have been news from Xingwu that concubine Yi was bleeding from a miscarriage."The Queen mother said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, please be patient. All in accordance with the plan, I have spread rumors through some palace servants behind that concubine Yi was sick from frostbite after returning from Youwu. It's just..."

"Just I was a little confused, there was another rumor out of nowhere that said concubine Yi was having an indistinct fever like eating something wrong."

The Queen Mother frowned.

"There's no problem, which is important at the time of her miscarriage, no one knows our involvement."

The Queen Mother chuckled, handing over her tea glass with a sly smile.

...***...

Dusk has just passed, the orange color in the western horizon has been blending with dark color.

The night soon descended upon Weiyan's palace.

Chu Cu came out with fear from within Xingwu palace. He ran towards the guards.

"Please call the doctor, my lady has a high fever and is bleeding!"
