Chapter 429: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Seventy-Nine)

Perhaps because of Yuan Qiuli's urging, Qi Xingsheng acted quickly and prepared to restore Cui Li's consciousness that night.

Cui Li naturally pretended to cooperate with them and restored her memory as the "Imperial Noble Consort".

Faced with the imprisonment, she did not beg for mercy or worry, but took the attitude of making the best of it. Her every word and action showed the demeanor of a noble lady from an aristocratic family.

That aloof, indifferent and fearless attitude left Qi Xingsheng and Yuan Qiuli stunned.

They all firmly believed that Cui Li was showing his original character now.

Yuan Qiuli looked at the beauty drinking tea alone at the table, and felt that Cui Li might not take her seriously.

Maybe she, Yuan Qiuli, is just a clown.

No matter what she said, the imperial concubine was immersed in her own world and didn't even look at them.

"Why aren't you talking? Do you look down on me? Do you think you're so great just because you're the Imperial Consort? You're just a concubine! Don't you care about this token of love? It's better to destroy it!"

This suffocating feeling made Yuan Qiuli restless. She suddenly stood up and was about to throw away the priceless jade pendant in her hand, but in the end, she was stopped by Qi Xingsheng.

Qi Xingsheng looked at Yuan Qiuli's agitated state and frowned. "Without her personal token, aren't you setting a trap for yourself? Yuan Qiuli, you've lost your composure."

Yuan Qiuli looked at the disdain in the imperial concubine's eyes, as if she were a dirty thing, and became even more indignant. In front of Qi Xingsheng, she forced herself to suppress her anger and left in anger.

Qi Xingsheng observed the Imperial Noble Consort carefully and suddenly laughed, "We underestimated you. You easily angered Yuan Qiuli, but it didn't do you any good."

Cui Li looked at the closed door, smiled and shook her head. It was not that she was capable, but that Yuan Qiuli was both arrogant and inferior. She felt that since she, Cui Li, was a prisoner, she should have panicked and knelt down to beg for mercy, instead of being calm as she was now.

Her calmness makes the jumping around Yuan Qiuli look stupid.

She just deliberately ignored Yuan Qiuli, but this woman couldn't stand it. If she ridiculed her, wouldn't she be even more unbearable and would be as angry as a hedgehog?

As for angering Yuan Qiuli, Cui Li was not worried about the consequences. With Qi Xingsheng around, all Yuan Qiuli could do was make some minor trouble.

The next morning, Yuan Qiuli secretly began her prank, and Qi Xingsheng temporarily left the house for something.

Disfiguring and weight-gaining drugs were added to Cui Li's food; she was moved to a remote northwest corner, close to the mountains and forests, where the howling of wild beasts could be heard at night through the four-meter-high courtyard wall; drugs that would cause difficult labor were added to the pregnancy-preserving drugs; maids were not allowed to serve her, and only a few people were allowed to guard outside the house to prevent her from escaping.

Cui Li easily dealt with these tricks. She was not a good person and would not allow Yuan Qiuli to harm her.

Whatever good medicine Yuan Qiuli gave her, she would have Shu Ka deliver it to her intact. Anyway, this woman knew that the dosage couldn't be increased at once, otherwise Qi Xingsheng would blame her if he found out, so these medicines wouldn't be immediately fatal.

Three days later, Yuan Qiuli was drinking a beauty soup when she suddenly felt her lower body wet. Her amniotic fluid had broken and she screamed.

Qi Xingsheng had just returned from a journey, exhausted. Seeing this scene, he immediately asked the midwife to deliver Yuan Qiuli's baby.

"Ah! My Lord, Li Niang's stomach hurts so much! Am I going to die? It's all Cui Li's fault. She irritated me all the time and caused me to go into labor prematurely. Hurry up and give her some labor-inducing medicine so she can give birth right away!"
