"The empress belongs to this palace and is the master of this harem, but the concubines do not belong to this palace." Liu Meiren said softly.
Meng Li asked: "Can't you wait?"
Probably Liu Meiren felt that now that she was a queen, she would be more capable of arranging for her to leave the palace, so she became more active.
"Your Majesty, I have misunderstood. I just want to have some confidence in my heart." Liu Meiren lamented.
Meng Li pondered for a moment and said:
"Don't worry, I will definitely make arrangements for what I promised you, but it's just not the right time yet."
What she said made Liu Mei feel more at ease. She knelt down and kowtowed to Meng Li and said:
"My Majesty still has some use for my concubine, so I will definitely do it. I just hope that your Majesty can let me out of the palace as soon as possible."
"The air in the palace is too stuffy." Finally, she added.
Meng Li nodded: "You can do whatever you want from now on."
"Empress, I have something else that I don't know how to say." Liu Meiren hesitated.
Meng Li raised his eyebrows: "You tell me."
"Concubine is pregnant." She hesitated and said.
Meng Li: "..."
That's why the emperor always treats her differently. All the concubines in the palace have a bowl of soup to hide from when they go to bed, but she doesn't.
The emperor probably hoped that she would give birth to a child, and then he would be promoted to the throne in a fair and justifiable way.
But this is not in the plot.
That…
Could it be that Liu Meiren took care of it herself? Didn't let anyone know
"If you are pregnant and give birth, I naturally hope that the royal family will be lively." Meng Li said.
However, Liu Meiren looked repulsive: "I don't want to do it."
"All I want is to leave the palace and escape from this place. If I give birth to this child, I will be trapped."
She had no hope for the emperor. The only men like him with noble status who could really accompany him were the concubines born in these aristocratic families. They could live the rest of their lives peacefully in the palace even if they were not favored, but she could not.
It's so sad to think that your life's safety depends on a man's love. Without love, you are nothing and it's difficult to live.
She couldn't trust the emperor to love her forever.
"Don't want to... Are you going to handle it yourself?" Meng Li didn't quite understand what Liu Meiren meant.
If you want to handle it yourself, there is no need to tell yourself.
Meng Li did not expect Liu Meiren to say:
"Does the empress have a strong rival in the palace, or is there someone who is a pain in the ass to the empress? I am willing to..."
She touched her belly and said with a very complicated look: "Since he can't be born, we can't waste his visit. It should have its own meaning. I am willing to use the fetus in my belly to get rid of the empress's most serious problem."
At least the emperor loves her very much now. If her child is 'harmed' by others, according to the emperor's character, he will definitely not forgive her lightly.
Meng Li was quite surprised by these words. He didn't expect that Liu Meiren would do this in order to leave the palace as soon as possible.
But she really couldn't let Liu Meiren leave the palace now. Even if she left the palace now, she might be found by the emperor. It was really not the right time.
"That's not necessary." Meng Li slowly spit out four words.
Even if you want to get rid of someone, you can't let Liu Meiren do it. As long as it passes through the hands of others, the matter may be exposed one day.
She could not let Liu Meiren leave the palace with something that could not be known to others.
Even after confirming the deal with Liu Meiren, she has only asked Liu Meiren to do two things. One is to take the prince back, and the other is to ask her to serve the queen mother. Even if others know about these two things, they are irrelevant. Urgent.
"Is it really unnecessary?" Liu Meiren was a little disappointed, but she hoped that the empress would agree.
If she agrees, she can naturally get rid of this child who should not exist. If she agrees, it also proves that she has done something important for the queen. In the same way, the queen has the handle in her hands, and she is not so He was worried that one day the empress would go against her promise and not let her leave the palace.
Meng Li nodded and looked at her deeply. Liu Meiren caught Meng Li's gaze and lowered her head in fear.
She was really frightened. From the first time she saw the empress, she felt that there was an invisible sense of oppression on the empress. Even standing in front of her, she felt like she couldn't breathe.
She felt that the emperor was not that powerful, and she was not afraid of the emperor or the queen mother, but this man's look made her panic. She felt that the look just now analyzed all her thoughts and left her with nothing to hide.
"You can make up your own mind. I won't interfere with that child. It's all up to you." Meng Li said calmly.
Liu Meiren responded weakly.
Meng Li thought for a while, and then asked, probably out of some inexplicable pity:
"Have you ever thought about the days after leaving the palace?"
"After leaving the palace? After leaving the palace, the concubine will return to her previous life. Maybe she will have to change her name and appearance. If that doesn't work, she will go far away." Liu Meiren thought quickly and said.
Before, I was only thinking about leaving the palace, but I didn't plan the rest of my life.
Meng Li said: "With whom? With that scholar?"
Two red clouds floated on Liu Meiren's face, and she said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Meng Li sighed: "Have you ever thought that many things in this world are unsatisfactory?"
"What do you mean, empress?" Liu Meiren was puzzled.
Meng Li: "Maybe the life outside the palace will not be better than the life in the palace. Maybe you will regret it. If you can't accept the bad life outside the palace, it is better to give birth to this child. If you have a child, you will have someone to rely on. .”
She must solve the problem with the emperor. When the emperor is solved, the group of women will naturally stop, and the palace can afford to support Liu Mei and her children.
Nothing matters.
But there is no way to say this to Liu Meiren, and there is no way to say that the emperor will be finished sooner or later.
Liu Meiren thought about it seriously and said to Meng Li seriously:
"Thank you for your kindness, but this deep palace is really not suitable for concubines. Only after leaving the palace can concubines have thousands of possibilities. In the palace, the heart of a concubine is always dead, and the one who is alive is just a body. That’s all.”
Since he said that, Meng Li didn't say much, he just said:
"good."
"Your Majesty, do you really don't want me to do anything for you?" Liu Meiren put her hand on her abdomen again, which was an obvious hint.
Meng Li shook his head and said calmly:
"I have never hated anyone."
Everyone she had hated had been killed by her, so there was nothing to hate.
This reminded her again of the group of beasts that destroyed her people, and she felt a flash of pain.
"Okay." Liu Meiren couldn't force it too much:
"Then I won't bother you too much, please leave first."
Meng Li nodded: "Okay, step back."
After Liu Meiren left, Qiaozhu came over with the prince in her arms. Meng Li took it and pinched his little face, saying to himself:
"You little one are going to have a name soon."
