Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 251 Inferiority

"Aunt, I feel a little uncomfortable today. Please talk to me." Bai Liangyu lay on the beauty couch with a soft pillow in his arms, looking unhappy.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you call the doctor?"

"I just feel a little uncomfortable. It's useless to call the imperial physician. I am pregnant with the royal heir and cannot take medicine. If my aunt can comfort me, I will be fine. Danzhu, move an embroidered stool for my aunt to sit on."

Zhao Guixiu sat down carefully and looked at Bai Liangyu, whose face was as pale as gold paper, with affection.

She gently lifted up Bai Liangyu's fallen hair and said worriedly, "Yu'er, tell me whatever worries you have. I will do my best to help you. If you are still so weak in the next two months, how can you give birth? I'd better ask the Queen to invite a few more doctors to see you, Yu'er."

"The Queen is kind-hearted and considerate. I have seen the imperial physician, but I am just worried."

"You are so young, how can you have so many worries? Yu'er just thinks too much. I don't know how happy your cousin is, as heartless as she is."

Zhao Guixiu joked.

Bai Liangyu lowered his eyes and smiled silently, with a flash of mockery in his eyes.

"My cousin is very much like you in this respect. I can't learn the open-mindedness and cheerfulness."

"You are pregnant with the heir to the throne, so don't worry too much. Since His Majesty liked you before, and you made a mistake, His Majesty didn't banish you to the cold palace, nor did he treat you harshly, which shows that His Majesty still has Yu'er in his heart."

"Aunt, do you know why I have fallen to this point?"

Zhao Guixiu was a little surprised and was about to speak when Bai Liangyu raised his hand to cover his mouth to stop her.

Bai Liangyu put down his hands, stood up, and fiddled with the two mutton-fat jade bracelets on his wrists.

"Aunt, do the white jade bracelets on my hands look good?"

Zhao Guixiu frowned and temporarily suppressed the confusion in her heart. Why did he suddenly mention the jade bracelet?

"nice."

Bai Liangyu smiled and took off the two bracelets, placed them on the palm of his hand, and suddenly turned his hand, and the two jade bracelets fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

“I think it looks great, too.”

"Yu'er, what do you mean? Why did you throw the jade bracelet?" Are you crazy?

Zhao Guixiu's pupils shrank slightly as she watched Bai Liangyu's series of actions, and then widened her eyes after she realized what was going on.

"Aunt, this is how I angered His Majesty, and that's why His Majesty demoted me from Shupin to Selected Concubine, and then discarded me like trash."

"Yu'er, let's ask the imperial physician to come and take a look. Your aunt thinks you are not in your right mind now. Danzhu, are you just going to watch your young lady go crazy like this? Why don't you ask someone to ask the imperial physician?"

Danzhu lowered her head, turned a deaf ear to Zhao Guixiu's words, and looked quietly at the embroidered shoes on her feet.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm fine. Just listen to me, okay?

Your Majesty promoted me too quickly. I have no merits, nor family background, and my appearance is average among the sisters in the harem, nothing special about me.

Not long after I entered the palace, I was promoted from a good man to a beauty, and then to a concubine. Your Majesty's favor to me was like a castle in the air, making me feel like I was treading on thin ice every step of the way. In my impulse, I offended Your Majesty."

Bai Liangyu's words were half true and half false. She was not the chosen one by her biological parents, so the inferiority complex in her heart could not be erased. She always liked to use self-destructive ways to test other people's feelings towards her.

Before she offered the bowl of medicated chicken soup, she had a vague suspicion that she was pregnant. Although she was not proficient in it, she had studied medicine after all. With the royal heir to back her up, she became even more unscrupulous.

The only fate she would have ended up with is being locked up in the cold palace. Even if she died, she would have her children to accompany her and she would not be lonely.

Apart from the temptation to commit suicide, being demoted was a good opportunity for her to keep a low profile. Bai Liangyu was too lazy to bet on the magnanimity of other women in the palace. Her path to becoming Shupin was too smooth and high-profile.

"Why are you so willful? I even wondered if someone was plotting against you." Zhao Guixiu suddenly became angry and stood up abruptly.

"Aunt, why are you angry? Didn't you just tell me not to worry? I have the heir in my belly to rely on, so why should I care about the rise and fall of my status?"

Zhao Guixiu was so angry that she stood there in a daze, speechless.

"Aunt, if you have to choose between Li Xihua and me to survive, who would you choose?" Bai Liangyu raised his head and looked at Zhao Guixiu seriously.

"What are you talking about? Of course I hope that both of you sisters are well."

"Aunt, what if you have to choose?"

"Aunt, I may have to inconvenience you for some time."

"What do you mean?"

"My cousin has been imprisoned for having an affair with a man outside her family. You may be suspected of being an accomplice."

“???” Zhao Guixiu was completely stunned.

"You don't seem to have to choose between me and my cousin, because my cousin seems to be... hopeless. Will you protect me?"

Bai Liangyu looked at the stunned Zhao Guixiu and smiled, "Danzhu, before Zhang Deli comes, take your aunt back to her room to relax."
