Chapter 257 Deadly Abortion Pills

This news was like a bolt from the blue for Concubine Yin, who had always wanted to monopolize the emperor's favor. She was both shocked and furious.

"Bitch, this damn bitch!" There was a murderous gleam in Concubine Yin's eyes.

After all, in this harem, being able to conceive a dragon seed means supreme honor and an increase in status.

And now, seeing her enemy, Concubine Li, about to rise to prominence through her son, how could Concubine Yin not feel terrified? She could not accept such a cruel reality no matter what.

"Mammy, give this to that little palace maid and let Concubine Li drink it!" Concubine Yin sat on a gorgeous chair, her face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out, and her eyes revealed a hint of viciousness and determination.

Upon hearing the order, the maid nodded and bowed in response: "Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do it right away!"

After saying that, he hurriedly took the abortion pills from Concubine Yin's hand and turned to walk out the door.

The nanny, carrying the packet of deadly abortion pills, hurriedly and cautiously came to the outside of the palace where Concubine Li lived.

Just as she was about to step into the palace, a shrill voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Where are you going, Ma'am?" It turned out to be a little eunuch with a fair face and a flattering smile. He trotted over and blocked the Ma's way with a smile on his face.

Mammy's heart tightened, but she remained calm and composed as she replied softly:

"Xiao Xinzi, this is an important matter ordered by the Imperial Concubine. This thing is given to you by the Imperial Concubine. You should quickly give it to Xiaoju and ask her to find a chance to give it to Imperial Concubine Li. Remember, this matter must not be leaked at all!"

After hearing this, Xiao Xinzi's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly returned to normal. He smiled and took the item handed to him by the nanny, holding it carefully in his palm.

However, at this moment, the nanny lowered her voice and added: "If Xiaoju can handle this matter well, the imperial concubine will certainly not treat her unfairly, and her brother's future will be worry-free!

But if Xiaoju dares to disobey orders and is unwilling to go to do the job, you can tell her that her parents and two younger brothers are currently being detained as guests by the Imperial Concubine.

As for what to do and what to say, let her think it over carefully!" After saying that, the nanny glared at Xiao Xinzi fiercely, and the warning was self-evident.

"The Imperial Concubine wants to invite the Li Concubine to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the flowers, but can I go in?" Then, the nanny deliberately spoke loudly.

The young eunuch rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, what a coincidence! Concubine Li is resting right now. Madam, you should go back first."

The nanny snorted coldly and turned away.

Xiao Xinzi stood there, looking at the nanny's receding back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

In fact, he was the spy that Concubine Li asked him to pretend to be close to Concubine Yin.

Xiao Xinzi held the abortion pills tightly in his hand and sneaked into Concubine Li's bedroom.

"My Lady, this is what Concubine Yin used to harm the fetus in your womb."

Xiao Xinzi presented the abortion pills and told Concubine Li everything the nanny had said.

Concubine Li was so angry that she trembled all over. "How dare she be so cruel." But she quickly calmed down and said, "I will not sit still and wait for death."

At dinner time, the sky gradually darkened, the lights came on, and the palace was filled with the faint aroma of food.

At this time, Xiaoju came slowly with light steps. She held an exquisite tray steadily in her hands, on which was placed a bowl of steaming medicine.

"Empress, the soup is ready!" Xiaoju said softly, with a hint of concern in her tone.

Concubine Li, sitting on the soft couch, raised her head slightly, her eyes fell on the bowl of medicine, and then she waved her hand gently: "Put it down! Leave it there for now, and wait until it cools down a little before drinking it."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, turned to look at Xiaoju, and asked softly, "Xiaoju, how many years have you been with me?"

Upon hearing this question, Xiaoju quickly replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have been following you for fifteen years!"

As she spoke, her face was full of respect and humility.

Concubine Li nodded slightly, a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes, and she said slowly:

"Yes, time flies by so fast! Back then, I was only eighteen years old when I married into the Xia Kingdom from far away.

Since you entered the palace, you have been by my side. Over the years, we have experienced ups and downs together, and our friendship has long been as deep as that of sisters."

Concubine Li couldn't help but sigh deeply, "These long fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. There was a time when I thought my youth had been completely wasted, and that my life might just end in such a dull and uneventful way."

"However, God ultimately favored me, allowing me to wait for the Emperor and even gifting me with this child in my belly..."

Speaking of this, Concubine Li's voice trembled slightly.

Her eyes gradually became moist, and her slightly red eyes were filled with both emotion for the difficult years in the past and longing and expectation for a better life in the future.

Concubine Li was gambling, betting that Xiaoju still had a conscience.

As long as Xiaoju still has a trace of compassion, perhaps Concubine Li would be willing to spare her life.

However, reality was like a bucket of cold water poured on Concubine Li's burning heart. She was still disappointed.

"Your Majesty, the soup is almost cold. You'd better drink it while it's hot to avoid hurting your body." Xiaoju advised, seemingly unaware of the deep despair and sadness in Concubine Li's eyes.

Concubine Li felt her heart sink to the bottom in an instant, cold and icy.

Despite this, she still suppressed the pain in her heart, forced a smile, and replied softly, "I understand. I'll drink it right away."

Concubine Li said casually, "Xiaoju, I suddenly want to eat the cakes sold in that shop in the west of the city. Go and buy some for me. I don't feel comfortable letting others buy them!"

"What if they were bribed and poisoned the snacks to kill the fetus in my belly? I'd have to trouble you to make a trip. Please come back quickly." After saying that, Concubine Li waved her hand, signaling Xiaoju to leave quickly.

After hearing this, Xiaoju couldn't help but hesitate.

Her eyes moved back and forth between the bowl of medicinal soup and Concubine Li, and she was obviously very conflicted.

On the one hand, she really wanted to see Concubine Li drink the bowl of medicine in one gulp; on the other hand, she did not dare to disobey her master's orders.

After all, Concubine Li now holds a high status in the palace. If you anger her, you will definitely suffer in the future.

At this time, Concubine Li raised her jade hand gently, and gracefully raised the exquisite porcelain bowl filled with hot soup to her lips, pretending to take a sip.

However, her movements seemed hesitant, as if it was just a pretense.
