After lying on the bed, XuanFei ordered LuLu to call Ji Xue.

"Did you call me, Young Miss?" Ji Xue arrived in a few moments and curtsied.

XuanFei turned her head and asked, "How's that b.i.t.c.h XuanRong? Is she plotting something?"

"Reporting to Young Miss, Da XiaoJie's side lacks movement. She must have been busy with taking care of Qinw.a.n.g Fu. Few days ago, His Highness Xu Fei Yi's illness once again relapsed and according to the imperial physician who checked him, if His Highness will not be able to wake up, he will not survive."

XuanFei fell silent.

"But there was no funeral. I guess that foolish prince survived, am I right?"

Ji Xue nodded.

"What Young Miss said is correct. But according to our informant, His Highness had to be bed ridden for a couple of months and was not allowed to leave the Fu, thus, Da XiaoJie would be extremely busy in the upcoming days to come."

XuanFei nodded.

'Good! Serves you right! Hah! Marrying a dying fool, how pitiful ah, JieJie.'

Since XuanRong was not a threat for now, XuanFei had threw her at the back of her mind.

"Did you go to the Crown Prince's palace?"

Hearing XuanFei's question, Ji Xue nodded.

"Young Miss, according to the servant serving inside the Crown Prince's palace, the Crown Prince would sleep with his concubines every night. Among all the concubines, it was Consort Ding who was favored the most."

Hearing Ji Xue's report, XuanFei's hand clenched tightly. Her eyes were filled with hatred.

'Consort Ding!'

Consort Ding was the second branch of Ding family's Di daughter. Although her father was only a third ranking official, her paternal uncle was the Right Prime Minister of the country, Prime Minister Ding. Prime Minister Ding had no daughter thus, he used his own niece as a leverage in order to grab the Crown Prince's thigh. Luckily, Consort Ding's standing as a daughter of a third ranking official ended her chance to be the Crown Princess and could only settle for the t.i.tle of a Liang Di[1].

"Humpf! That b.i.t.c.h! She must be happy thinking that she would bore His Highness' child soon. HAHAHAH!! How pitiful! The first royal grandson will be my child."

XuanFei laughed as she happily caressed her abdomen.

"Young Miss…" Ji Xue hesitated.

XuanFei stopped laughing.

"Speak, what is it?"

"Young Miss… are you really sure about your plan?"

XuanFei's eyes showed malice as she stared at Ji Xue.

"No one has the right to bear His Highness child but me! Go and make preparations!! Let us see if that b.i.t.c.h-Ding and those other s.l.u.ts could still flaunt themselves like a proud peac.o.c.k once I enter the Crown Prince palace!"

Ji Xue curtsied and turned her head, thus, XuanFei did not see the small smirk on her face.
