Medicinal taste, a very bitter medicinal taste.

　　When I regained consciousness, I only heard the angry roar of a man beside me.

　　"Why is this happening?! Isn't there a royal physician who checks regularly? Why was this never discovered?" "The Imperial Concubine's fetus is less than two months old.

　　Coupled with her weak constitution and weak pulse...

　　I..." The old man speaking's voice trembled.

　　"Useless! All of you are useless! I've been treating you like this, and you're all worthless! It's my child!" Since his ascension to the throne, there have only been two princesses born, and the eldest prince died before he turned six months old.

　　After that, he favored the Imperial Concubine alone, while the others had no chance.

　　With such a shortage of offspring, he never said it, but he still cared.

　　Before he finished speaking, someone reported, "The Empress Dowager has arrived." Everything fell silent, and Pei Qi spoke up, "Everyone, retreat for now." Separated by a screen, I could hear the aging voice in my ear, "Emperor, you're spoiling the Imperial Concubine too much." Pei Qi didn't say anything.

　　He and the Empress Dowager were not truly queen and son.

　　The Empress Dowager also didn't care, saying, "My son is the Emperor.

　　Everything he does is right.

　　Even if he waves his hand and gives away a whole city for a beauty, the people below will still praise his majesty's grandeur.

　　It's a good story." "She's just a foreign woman.

　　If you want to favor her, it's also a favor to her.

　　I have nothing to say.

　　But the country's foundation cannot be shaken.

　　The imperial harem has few successors, and the Empress cannot produce any.

　　With the disrespect of the concubines below her escalating, they can now openly plot against the successors.

　　Is this the result you wanted?" Pei Qi's voice sounded tired, "queen, you know that I have no intention towards Miao Yan..." "Ridiculous.

　　Your actions now are based solely on your whims.

　　You simply dislike her personality, but she is, after all, a good child.

　　If it wasn't for her today, do you think you would still be alive?" "..." The Empress Dowager hurriedly left, leaving behind a furious Emperor.

　　He raised his voice, "Guards!" "Here, Your Majesty!" "The concubines who watched as Consort Rong suffered today cannot leave the palace for the next five years! And those palace maids who stood by and watched will be sent to the disciplinary court, one for each victim! As for those useless royal physicians who neglected their duty, behead them all!" Not being allowed to leave the palace for even half a step was tantamount to being confined to the Cold Palace.

　　However, there were numerous beauties in the palace, and it seemed that losing a few wouldn't make a difference.

　　But decapitation...

　　people would definitely die.

　　Pei Qi knew, but he didn't care.

　　He who wants to favor someone would generously bestow his favor without any consideration, just like how the imperial concubine handled the situation when she fell into the water.

　　Today, I, too, have received this "honor" - innumerable blood has been shed, infused into the beauty of women, and moved into the realm of poetry and drama.

　　It has become a timeless tale, full of tenderness and sorrow.

　　However, I am afraid that in future history, there will be a notorious name associated with me.

　　I sighed and finally opened my eyes: "Your Majesty..."
