My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 322: The Green Consort

Chapter 322: Chapter 322: The Green Consort

"My lady, you have suffered."

The little eunuch looked up, his tone full of tenderness as he spoke.

His face, wet as if with water, would compel anyone who saw it to refrain from speaking harshly.

Concubine Wei’s heart instantly flew to the bed.

She coughed unnaturally, then spoke softly, "This concubine is not stupid, certainly not now going to tie herself to the Crown Prince."

"Then what does my lady plan to do?"

The little eunuch continued to bow his head, asking softly.

Concubine Wei stretched out two fingers and lifted his chin.

"Look up at this concubine, do you not wish to be an Imperial Consort?" she said with slightly parted red lips, a seductive look in her eyes, and then spoke in a husky voice.

There was no surprise on the little eunuch’s face.

In a soft voice, he said, "Whatever my lady wishes to do, this servant supports. Even if it means giving up this life, this servant is willing."

"You foolish boy, why would this concubine want your life?" scolded Concubine Wei in a coy manner.

However, upon thinking of something, her eyes instantly became filled with ambition.

"If the men of the Nan Family are so inept, then why... can’t a woman control this empire?"

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the ambition in those eyes started to burn like a great fire.

Deep down, she harbored a secret.

And that was her pathological obsession with power.

The reason she had been so eager to enter the palace back then was to defeat that wretched woman from the Qiang Family and sit on the Dragon Throne herself.

But obviously, because of Nan Shi’s heartlessness, her plan was doomed to fail.

So why shouldn’t she kill those who stood in her way?

Nan Shi was so fond of that wretched woman, it would be best if he went down to accompany her.

As for this empire, she would take it for herself.

"If it weren’t for overhearing the Emperor’s words, I would have never imagined that from the start, he intended to have that wretched woman’s child ascend to the Dragon Throne. Whether that wretched woman’s child is a Prince or an Imperial Princess..."

"The Emperor is stubborn in his ways, but on this matter, he disregarded the ancestral rules, wishing to lift an Imperial Princess to the position."

Speaking of this, Concubine Wei’s face was full of sarcasm.

All those Princes fighting to death, they probably never imagined that they would lose to a woman.

"If she, Nan Baihan, can sit on the Dragon Throne, then why should this concubine hold back?"

Concubine Wei spoke through gritted teeth.

In the end, this was what the Nan Family owed her!

She slowly rose, gazing at the distant moonlight through the window, and then spoke with a venomous tone, "I have been scheming in secret for nearly a decade; now, I can finally make my move."

Let them fight; she would have the last laugh.

...

"My lady, just now the third Prince went to Concubine Wei’s palace, it is said it was unpleasant."

Qingning Palace.

The palace maid hurried in to report the situation.

Concubine Qing slowly opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing by.

She was one of the four concubines of the harem, backed by the Liu Family, and had given birth to a Prince, the tenth Prince.

The Emperor was heartless to the women of the harem, never showing them the slightest affection.

Yet he was also quite "benevolent"...

All the Concubines who entered the palace, he would favor a few times, until they were with child.

He felt that if they had children by their side, they wouldn’t be so lonely in the harem.

Therefore, these concubines, who had been in the harem for over twenty years, essentially all had children.

However, although there were many children, very few survived.

It was because of the protection of the Liu Family that she and her Prince were still alive.

"Besides the Crown Prince, the third Prince is the biggest obstacle for Xiao Shi. I don’t know what that bitch Wei concubine has advised him this time."

The tone of the Qing Consort was exceedingly displeased.

The Liu Family and the Wei Family were at odds in the court, and she had been fighting with that bitch Wei concubine in the harem for over twenty years.

"Your Highness need not worry. As you know, the Wei concubine has always had a poor relationship with the third Prince. Over the years, the Wei Family hasn’t shown much support for him, and he won’t amount to much."

Nanny Liu stepped forward to comfort her.

But Qing Consort’s expression did not lighten; it became even more grim.

"Who can be sure? Now that King Xu has suddenly rebelled, everyone is in a panic. Every palace has started to get ideas, and that bitch Wei concubine might also be thinking of supporting the third Prince. After all, she only has this one son to rely on."

Qing Consort paced back and forth, her heart nearly burning with anxiety.

"Where is the tenth Prince? He hasn’t come to pay his respects to me today; what is he up to?"

Suddenly remembering this, Qing Consort spoke harshly.

Upon hearing Qing Consort’s words, the palace maids all fell silent.

Seeing their reaction, what was there that Qing Consort didn’t understand?

"He went out of the palace to enjoy himself again, didn’t he? Why does he enjoy those places of wine and song so much?"

Qing Consort was nearly beside herself with anger.

Her own son, whom she had given birth to, turned out to be so useless.

She didn’t expect him to be like the Crown Prince, with peerless strategies for conquering the world.

But he should at least have some ambition like Nan Cong.

Who knew he would just be a dandy who only loved beauty?

How many incidents had he caused outside the palace over the years because of his lust for beauty?

How many messes had she and the Liu Family cleaned up behind him?

"Your Highness, don’t be angry. The tenth Prince is still young, he..." Nanny Liu hurried forward to persuade her.

But Qing Consort coldly interrupted her words with a laugh, "A man nearly twenty years old, and he’s still called young. You all go and bring him back to me immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Several palace maids quickly nodded and ran out.

"Nanny Liu, what do you think I should do?"

Once everyone had left, Qing Consort spoke wearily.

Her son was unreliable; what else could she count on?

"Your Highness, do not panic; although the tenth Prince loves beauty, he hasn’t shown this side in front of the Emperor. But don’t forget, among so many princes, his martial arts skills are the best, and even the Emperor has praised him for it."

Upon hearing what Nanny Liu said, Qing Consort fell silent for a moment.

That was true, her son might be unreliable in other matters, but he was very talented in martial arts.

It was precisely because of his martial arts skills that she and her son had received some attention from the Emperor.

"With the current chaotic situation, martial arts is paramount. If we allow the tenth Prince to join the battlefield and earn military merits, who in the court would then dare to look down upon the tenth Prince and Your Highness? The Emperor would also regard him highly."

Nanny Liu spoke earnestly and with grave importance.

Qing Consort gradually calmed down.

She also felt there was truth in what Nanny Liu said.

But her heart was still uneasy.

"Still, Nanny Liu, Xiao Shi is my life. On the battlefield, there is no telling which way the sword and spear will go; what if something happens to him..."

Nanny Liu helped her sit down beside her, then spoke with serious intent, "Your Highness, listen to this servant. When we let the tenth Prince go on the campaign, it’s not that we want him to personally join the fight. We just need to assign some experts to stay close and protect him. What we need is to show the Emperor the prince’s attitude. Moreover, if we really win, we could claim the credit for it."
