Chapter 787: Concubine Shaolin Hatred For Yi Huiqing

Zhao Zhang Wei frowned because of being interrupted. However, he knew that if it was not something important Eunuch Zhang would not have disturbed him.          

    

He looked at his wife for one last time before he stepped back. Yi Huiqing immediately sighed in relief when she heard him say     

"Enter"     

Eunuch Zhang entered the chambers with his head bowed.      

"What is the matter?"     

Zhao Zhang Wei asked coldly. It was visible that he was not pleased with all because of being disturbed. Eunuch Zhang knew this but he was also helpless and wanted to inform his master as soon as possible before the matter would create more trouble for his master.      

At the question asked by his master, Eunuch Zhang was again in conflict. Should he say such a thing in front of the Empress?      

Eunuch Zhang thought that it would be better if he would tell this thing to his master in absence of the Empress so he said      

"Your Majesty, this is something important."     

In other words, it could not be discussed in front of the Empress.      

However, his words made Zhao Zhang Wei frown deeply. He wanted Yi Huiqing to know that he trusted her completely so said authoritatively.      

"Speak whatever you want to speak."     

Eunuch Zhang felt like crying but when he heard his master's cold voice again, he trembled and blurted out.      

"Concubines Shaolin wishes to see Your Majesty once."     

The words made Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes colder as he remembered who this Concubine Shaolin actually was. At the same time, his heart was filled with panic. He was worried that it would remind Yi Huiqing of the scene where he had exited Shaolin's chambers in the early morning.      

Without any hesitation, he said coldly.      

"We don't wish to see her. Ask her to leave as others are leaving."     

After saying this, Zhao Zhang Wei was about to dismiss Eunuch Zhang but Eunuch Zhang spoke again.      

"Your Majesty, it is urgent. This servant would suggest that Your Majesty should see Concubine Shaolin once."     

Zhao Zhang Wei felt frustrated with Eunuch Zhang's words. He was worried that Yi Huiqing would ignore him forever after hearing all this. So this time his voice was colder when he spoke      

"Eunuch Zhang, what Zhen said is what Zhen means. You can leave now."     

Eunuch Zhang's forehead was covered with sweat. He didn't have any other choice except to say the truth.      

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shaolin is pregnant."     

Zhao Zhang Wei who had turned around to look at his wife again froze completely.      

His phoenix eyes were filled with fear and panic as he looked at Yi Huiqing's face which was already cold.      

At this moment, he had the sudden urge to kill Eunuch Zhang.          

    

When he turned around, his face was colder than ice. Without saying a single word, he left the chambers while Eunuch Zhang followed him out.      

Yi Huiqing who was standing at the same spot looked at his back with a pair of blank eyes for a few moments then suddenly there was a cold smile on her lips.      

'I love you, Qingqing.'     

The words felt more ridiculous to her now.      

.     

.     

.     

When Zhao Zhang Wei reached the entrance of the courtyard where Concubine Shaolin lived, he heard the shrieking voice of the woman.      

"I don't know. I wish to see His Majesty. I have the Imperial Clan's heir in my womb. His Majesty would not let me leave once he would come to know of this. All of you will be punished to death by Your Majesty if anyone dared to touch me."     

Needless to say, the voice belonged to none other than Concubine Shaolin.      

It was so sharp and annoying that even Eunuch Zhang who was standing behind his master felt like covering his ears.      

Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes were cold as he heard the woman's words.      

In long strides, he strode inside the courtyard.      

The Imperial Guards immediately made way for the Emperor. Concubine Shaolin was about to scream at them again but she immediately shut her mouth when she realized that Zhao Zhang Wei was finally there.      

A smile immediately graced her lips and her eyes were filled with confidence as she said brightly     

"Your Majesty is here."     

She knew that he will come. He would have to.      

Looking at the Imperial Guards, her gaze was filled with resentment and she said coldly.     

"Your Majesty, they were trying to harm the Imperial heir. Your Majesty needs to punish them to death."     

The Imperial Guards who didn't do anything looked scared when they heard Concubine Shaolin's words. Till now, they didn't know that the Emperor would really come. However, they didn't do anything.      

But seeing that the Emperor was here, they were scared that the Emperor would believe the concubine and punish them when they were not even at fault.      

Zhao Zhang Wei was looking at Concubine Shaolin with a cold face and ordered coldly.      

"Leave."     

The Imperial Guards who heard the order immediately left the room and Eunuch Zhang also followed them out.      

Concubine Shaolin was startled to see this. Though she was a little disappointed seeing that Zhao Zhang Wei didn't punish them as she said, she decided not to grumble about this.          

    

She could always do more in the future as long as she stayed calm now.      

A smile graced her lips as she realized that she and Zhao Zhang Wei were alone in the room. He must be moved to know that she was pregnant with his child.      

Thinking this, Shaolin shyly lowered her head and said      

"Your Majesty, for the past few days, Qie had been feeling a little unwell. This morning, Qie decided to ask the Imperial Physician to come and check Qie. Surprisingly Qie came to know that Qie is carrying Your Majesty's child. Qie was happy as well as surprised. After all, there had not been many days since…"     

Shaolin didn't finish her words as her face went red according to the occasion.      

She felt impatient when she didn't hear anything from Zhao Zhang Wei and slowly raised her head to look at him.      

Suddenly a shiver ran down Shaolin's spine when she saw how cold Zhao Zhang Wei looked at that moment.      

When a smile suddenly graced his lips, it only made her scared enough to take a step back.      

"So you are pregnant with my child?"     

Zhao Zhang Wei spoke coldly with a cold smile on his lips as he looked at Shaolin's belly.      

Shaolin didn't know why but she felt as if there was a hidden mockery in Zhao Zhang Wei's voice when he asked her this question. She couldn't help but feel slightly nervous.      

It took her a moment to compose herself and say     

"Yes, Your Majesty."     

A cold chuckle escaped Zhao Zhang Wei's lips that made Shaolin tremble unconsciously.      

"Send her inside."     

Zhao Zhang Wei shouted suddenly and soon a maid entered the room.      

Shaolin looked at the maid in confusion.      

The maid bowed her head and kneeled down in front of the Emperor.      

"Now speak."     

Zhao Zhang Wei ordered authoritatively.      

The maid immediately started to speak     

"Your Majesty, as Your Majesty had ordered, that morning this servant had put the medicine that stopped a woman from being pregnant after intercourse in Concubine Shaolin's food."     

Concubine Shaolin still had a frown on her face as she registered the words in her mind.      

A moment later, her face went pale and she whispered suddenly.     

"Which food…what are you talking about?"         

    

Zhao Zhang Wei looked at the woman in disgust and ordered to the maid to leave. Once the maid left he looked at Shaolin and said coldly.      

"Do you really think that I will let you carry my child? You don't deserve that. Only my Qingqing can carry my child."     

"The next morning, I had asked the maid to put that medicine in your food. There is no chance you can be pregnant with my child."     

The words were like a slap to Shaolin's face.      

Her face was pale as she looked at Zhao Zhang Wei and said a little loudly.      

"I didn't eat that food. Your Majesty, I never ate that food. I am indeed carrying your child."     

Zhao Zhang Wei was no longer smiling. He looked bored as he said      

"Stop putting this act, Shaolin. Even the Imperial Physician you had bribed had confessed that you are not pregnant."     

Shaolin couldn't believe at all what Zhao Zhang Wei was saying.      

She stood there with a stiff body as she heard him say      

"Leave silently without creating any chaos. I am letting you go without punishing you. That is the most I am doing considering the friendship your mother had with mine."     

Finishing his words, Zhao Zhang Wei turned around and left the chambers.      

Concubine Shaolin was trembling as Zhao Zhang Wei's words continued to flash in her mind.      

He ensured that she would not carry his child at all.      

'Only my Qingqing can carry my child.'     

The words filled her heart with so much hatred as she remembered Yi Huiqing's face. Realising that, Zhao Zhang Wei soon going to leave and if she didn't stop him, she would have to leave the Imperial Palace, she immediately ran outside.      

However, when she saw Yi Huiqing at the entrance of her courtyard where Zhao Zhang Wei was also standing and holding her hand, the hatred came back with full force.      

She wanted to kill this woman.      

This woman who was the obstacle between her happiness.
