Chapter 788: The Crazy Concubine Shaolin

However, when she did, she looked completely calm. Hurriedly, she ordered Lin Daiyu to make arrangements.      

Since a concubine is pregnant in the inner yard as the main wife, it was her responsibility to make sure that she would give birth without any obstruction.      

For that, she needed to express her goodwill from the start.      

Though Yi Huiqing didn't face such a situation in the past four years, she was aware of what she ought to do in such a situation.      

Lin Daiyu's happiness that had been there after hearing that all the concubines would be sent away vanished when she came to know that Concubine Shaolin was pregnant with the Emperor's child.      

The maidservant remembered the resentment in Shaolin's eyes for her mistress and her heart was suddenly filled with panic.      

If Concubine Shaolin really birthed the Imperial heir, then she would be favoured in the future.     

Her mistress days might not be easy in the Imperial Palace in the coming future.      

With a panic filled heart, Lin Daiyu unwillingly made arrangements to visit Concubine Shaolin's courtyard with her mistress.      

When Yi Huiqing reached Concubine Shaolin's courtyard, she was told by the maidservant of Shaolin that the Emperor was inside the room and talking with Concubine Shaolin.      

The maidservant of Concubine Shaolin looked arrogant when she talked to Yi Huiqing, however, Yi Huiqing ignored her.      

Lin Daiyu was angry when she saw this. Not only she but the Imperial Guards who were still there felt that the maidservant was too daring.      

However, they didn't dare to do anything as they were still unaware of the Emperor's thoughts. Just now, when they were inside and Concubine Shaolin tried to instigate the Emperor to punish them, they were already afraid.      

These concubines could easily coax the Emperor into punishing them unreasonably. It depended on the Emperor whether he would let himself be fooled by them or not.      

Since Zhao Zhang Wei was still a new Emperor, they were not aware of what his attitude will be.      

Yi Huiqing calmly waited outside the room with her maidservant.      

The Imperial Guards in the end couldn't see this and suggested that she could leave the things here and go back to rest in her chambers.      

The night was cold and standing in front of a concubine's courtyard like this didn't look great for an Empress.      

Yi Huiqing thought the same.      

She didn't want anyone to sympathize with herself unnecessarily and hence she was ready to leave and ask the servants to carry the thing inside and also tell Concubine Shaolin later on that whatever she wished, she could ask her for at this time.      

However, just when she had ordered the servants, she saw Zhao Zhang Wei stepping out of the room.      

She with everyone else bowed her head respectfully.      

Zhao Zhang Wei surprised when he saw her there. When he saw the servants standing behind, he understood what she was there for.      

Bitterness filled his heart when he saw how calm she looked.      

In the past few days, he had somewhat understood what Yi Huiqing was like.          

If she looked calm, it meant that her heart was too cold at that time. It was he who made it cold.      

She must be finding his confession ridiculous after seeing whatever happened this evening.      

Zhao Zhang Wei immediately wanted to tell her that Shaolin was lying. In the future, he would never touch any other woman except her and would not let any other woman touch himself.      

The eagerness made him forget everything and he stepped forward to hold Yi Huiqing's hand.     

"Qingqing."     

The Imperial Guards saw this scene from the corner of their eyes and bowed their heads even lower to minimise their presence.      

Yi Huiqing was startled by Zhao Zhang Wei's actions. Her first reaction was to pull her hand out from his but when she remembered that they were outside, she had to bear with it.      

She couldn't disrespect him like this in front of others.      

After all, he was the Emperor of the nation.      

Raising her head, she looked at Zhao Zhang Wei calmly and said      

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"     

That was how Shaolin saw Zhao Zhang Wei and Yi Huiqing standing so close to each other and holding each other hands when she came out from her room to chase Zhao Zhang Wei.      

Her eyes went red with hatred and anger as she looked at Yi Huiqing.     

"Yi Huiqing…"     

She shouted loudly without thinking anything and even cursed.      

"You shameless woman! I will kill you!"     

The servants and guards were shocked to hear Concubine Shaolin's words. How could she talk about an Empress like this!     

Saying this, Concubine Shaolin ran towards Yi Huiqing without thinking anything.      

Everyone was shocked.      

The Imperial Guard had wanted to kick away the concubine but when he remembered that she was pregnant, his face went pale and he was suddenly full of conflict what he should do.      

He was also not at fault. If the Imperial heir was killed by him by mistake then his whole family would have to pay for that.      

However, Zhao Zhang Wei who didn't have to think about all this had cold eyes. When Concubine Shaolin had not even touched Yi Huiqing, he without any hesitation kicked her away using his leg.      

Yi Huiqing's eyes widened when she saw this scene.      

Just now, she looked into Shaolin's eyes. She was surprised to see so much hatred in her eyes.      

She had always known that Shaolin had never liked her though she didn't understand what the reason was behind this.          

Towards the concubine in the inner yard, Yi Huiqing had never made any fuss. She never made their life difficult.      

It could be said that other concubines respected Yi Huiqing because of this.      

However, Shaolin was not one of them.      

When Yi Huiqing came out of her thoughts, her eyes widened as she remembered that Shaolin was pregnant.      

"Call the physician."     

She ordered immediately and was about to step forward to see if Shaolin was alright or not.      

Yi Huiqing actually didn't care much about all this. She didn't feel anything any longer. She was just afraid that when all this would be revealed to the other ministers in the Imperial Court then it would be she who will be implicated.      

And hence, in turn, it would be her clan who would face difficult times.      

Even if she didn't want to care for Concubine Shaolin she had to do so.      

However, before she could approach Shaolin, Zhao Zhang Wei held her hand and said coldly as he looked at the Shaolin who was screaming holding her leg.     

"No need to call any physician. She is not pregnant."     

When everyone heard Zhao Zhang Wei's words, they were shocked.      

Yi Huiqing looked at Zhao Zhang Wei with a frown on her forehead and then at Concubine Shaolin.      

When she saw that Concubine Shaolin looked completely fine and was only holding her leg while screaming that she was in pain, she raised her eyebrows.      

Since she had been pregnant twice, Yi Huiqing knew that after being kicked like this Concubine Shaolin should be holding her stomach not her leg.      

Was she really not pregnant!     

Shaolin heard Zhao Zhang Wei's cruel words and forget her pain. She looked at Zhao Zhang Wei's cold face and heart ached.      

This man…why was he like this? Could she really not win him?     

When her eyes went to Yi Huiqing, they were again filled with resentment.      

She really wished to get up again and scratch that beautiful face with her sharp nails. That was she wanted to do before as well. Shaolin thought that it was Yi Huiqing's beauty that had captured Zhao Zhang Wei's heart.      

If Yi Huiqing would not be beautiful, she would again try to Zhao Zhang Wei's heart.      

However, what she wanted to do now, her leg didn't allow her to do so.      

Anger and frustration made her go crazy and she pointed her finger at Yi Huiqing as she spouted out nonsense.     

"You…you are a vixen. Just because you are the main wife, it doesn't mean that you will have the sole right on the Emperor. I am also the concubine and I have equal rights."     

Yi Huiqing sighed when she heard such words.          

Her head hurt actually as she wondered why Shaolin looked so eager and envious.  If only she could give this position to Shaolin, she would have done so very happily.      

There was a bitter smile on Yi Huiqing's lips when she thought this.     

However, when Shaolin saw this smile she thought that Yi Huiqing was mocking her and she was more furious.      

"Yi Huiqing, you slut…you are a witch to seduce him by your charms. Ha…you have done some black magic on him. Otherwise why would he whisper your name even after being drugged by me that night…"     

Zhao Zhang Wei who was about to ask the Guards to drag Shaolin away paused when he heard these words.
