Chapter 178 Extra (1)
Inside Ganquan Palace, Ye Zhen was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, holding a piece of gold leaf cut into a lotus shape in her hand, then she carefully pasted it between her eyebrows. Four maids surrounded her, some combing her hair, some choosing her jewelry, and some took out the clothes for her to choose.

One of the palace maids named Yong He said worriedly, “Niangniang, do you really want to do this?”

“Xu Yayan has become the empress, and she still want to adopt the sixth imperial grandson as her son. If This Palace doesn’t do anything, how can there be a way to survive?” Ye Zhen’s fingers trembled slightly, and the gold foil was sticking crookedly, so she had to wipe it off and stick a new one. Her features were like painting and her temperament was gentle, but her eyes hid ruthlessness and resentment, which was very different from her usual indifferent image.

Several maids in the palace fell silent, all showing fear in their eyes. Master Ye was impeached by Xu Guangzhi, he lost his official position and was demoted to a commoner. The Ye family’s business was greatly affected, and it was already declining. If niangniang did not try to compete for favor, the Ye family would collapse sooner or later. When the Ye family collapsed, niangniang, who had no support, could only struggle and be left out in the cold by herself.

“Niangniang, you’d better think thoroughly before proceeding.” Yong He dragged out a box from under the bed, hesitated, “It’s not like you haven’t heard the rumors in the palace. If you uncover His Majesty’s secrets, with his cruel nature, entering the cold palace is still light…” afraid that he would go crazy on the spot and behead all the hundreds of people from top to bottom in Ganquan Palace.

Yong He didn’t dare to say the last sentence, but Ye Zhen understood it and sneered, “If the emperor is really a reincarnation of an evil ghost, and women who come close to him will die, then it’s unknown how many times This Palace has died. Only the Juili concubines would believe this, they are all brainless idiots!”

Another maid, Yong Ju, looked around, lowered her voice and said, “No, niangniang, there are also rumors on the Han concubines’ side, saying that the emperor was injured on the battlefield, and it’s no longer good!” As she said that, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Because these two kinds of rumors were widely spread in the palace, the Jiuli concubines did not dare to approach the emperor; the Han concubines while wanted to be favored, they were afraid of breaking the secret and got killed by the emperor. So they all avoided him like snakes and scorpions, and instead rushed to curry favor with the Empress Dowager and little imperial grandsons. The emperor was in his thirties, but he still had no children under his knees, apart from his physical inadequacy, they really could not think a more suitable reason.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen somewhat felt nervous, she thought for a moment and then waved her hand, “His Majesty’s body is fine, those words are definitely fake.”

“But Niangniang, after following him for so many years you haven’t serve the bed for him, wouldn’t that prove the truth of the rumors?” Yong He was still uneasy.

Ye Zhen’s cheeks were slightly red, and she said firmly, “He has never touched This Palace because of Zhao Luli’s face. This Palace had some contact with him before. Him there, him there doesn’t have any problem.” When she was sent to the emperor’s tent naked, the other person did have reaction, but from beginning to end he always held back. It could be seen that he was not incapable, but could not overcome the hurdle in his heart.

Zhao Luli had been married for four years, and she had done enough to cut off the front line, thinking that the emperor would not reject her again this time. Of course, if there was a drug to boost the fun, it’s guaranteed success.
