Before she left, Gu Bailu suddenly remembered something that they had overlooked. “Um… Does Su Shenfan not want you to get pregnant?”
Su Shenfan had so many women, but hadn’t given any of them a title, let alone the position of a proper wife.
He had never touched a woman before, so he wasn’t afraid that they would bear his children.
But he was touching them for real now, and had to consider the possibility of them giving him an heir.
If Su Shenfan didn’t want children, he would definitely take precautions.
If they were hot-headed here, all of it would be for nothing.
Bu Yaolian was at a loss. “I… I didn’t think of that.”
Gu Bailu sighed. “Let’s take advantage of it before he reacts. Hurry up and push him down.”
Bu Yaolian suddenly felt that she had a long way to go. If she wanted to get pregnant, she had to play tricks.
Her period had just ended. According to Gu Bailu, she would be safe for the next few days, which meant that she wouldn’t be able to get pregnant.
But even if it was for nothing, she had to keep Su Shenfan.
He had just gotten a taste of women, so he probably hadn’t thought of the problem of having children yet.
Besides, a person like him wouldn’t take any precautions. Even if he got a woman pregnant, he would just give her a bowl of abortion soup if he didn’t want it.
Bu Yaolian was feeling better, so she went to visit the consort. The consort had been injured in the competition that night, and had yet to recover.
She leaned against the headboard of the bed and mocked herself. “I’ve never seen such strange skills. A few talismans were enough to defeat me. I thought I had formidable spiritual power.”
Bu Yaolian chuckled. “Was it really that powerful?”
“It’s not how formidable the spiritual power is; that thing can control your body, and you can’t do anything. I heard that the ghost soldiers of the Fiend race can absorb their opponents’ spiritual power. Her spiritual power isn’t any weaker than that.”
“It seems that I have a lot to learn. I can’t be ignorant forever.”
The imperial consort smiled. “It’s fine if you don’t know anything. Do you think your beauty can make Shao Zun hate you? What’s the situation now?”
“Mm, it was a success, but your lord gave him three more beauties.”
The consort pursed her lips. “Men are so shallow. When they have a good relationship, they can deliver women as gifts. They treat women like commodities.”
“Shh, be careful that the walls have ears,” Bu Yaolian urged.
The imperial consort chuckled. “What do I have to be afraid of? I dare say it in front of the emperor. He likes this mouth of mine.”
A pampered imperial consort had no reason to fear gossip.
Bu Yaolian looked at her in admiration. “I really envy you. He has so many beauties, but you’re the one he loves.”
“What love? It’s just that I don’t indulge him like other women. Men are like that: When they eat something too heavy, they want something light. When something’s too much to their taste, they want something different. If something really happens, he’ll still push me out to take the arrow for him.”
The imperial consort was far-sighted, which was why she and her family were coming up with a plan for the pill.
She wanted her family to step in and secure a stable position in front of the Rising Clouds Emperor. After all, her family used to be the trusted subordinates of the previous emperor.
She had to take precautions.
However, she didn’t expect that it wasn’t just her family that had come this time. Everyone from the other continents had come.
“I heard that Princess Zi was behind the theft in the underground palace,” the consort said to Bu Yaolian.
