Shi Yanxue held the teacup and sat in the Queen's Palace. She lowered her head and blew gently, then took a sip. "The tea in the Queen's Palace is fragrant and sweet."

Yan Wan grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said, "Don't keep me in suspense. We've been investigating this for a few days. How is it going?"

"Don't be anxious, sister. I love tea. There are only a limited amount of good tea in the palace, and even less can be allocated to your palace." Shi Yanxue said as she wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

",,,I'll give you one when I leave, so you can tell me now." Yan Wan could hear the sound of crackling melon seeds, and she knew that it was not a good thing when she suddenly changed her words and called her sister.

"Thank you sister."

Shi Yanxue put down the teacup and picked up the melon seeds to peel them one by one. "This Concubine Wen has been in the palace for a short time. She was given the title of concubine in the beginning because of her brother's merit in risking his life to protect the emperor."

"Besides, she has never been pregnant and she keeps a low profile, so it is indeed not easy to notice."

"There aren't many masters and ladies in the palace. I usually take the princess around, so I'm familiar with everyone."

The hand that peeled the melon seeds paused, "I actually saw it twice. Concubine Wen came out from the direction of Furong Pavilion."

"My brothers from my mother's family have asked around. They used to be close friends in the boudoir, but now they are estranged in the palace."

Yan Wan loosened her grip and put the melon seeds back on the plate, a little confused, "You mean, Wen Xia is dealing with Yuhua Palace for Liu Furong?"

"Is Liu Furong holding a grudge because of the fake pregnancy she used to win favor?"

Shi Yanxue also became serious, with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, the fake pregnancy was originally aimed at the one in Yuhua Palace. If it weren't for His Majesty's protection, the blame would have been given to the Imperial Hospital."

"I'm afraid he has already been beaten to a pulp without leaving any trace."

"But he was lucky. Liu Furong was indeed faking her pregnancy."

Yan Wan turned her head and looked at Shi Yanxue with a serious expression, "Why is Liu Furong targeting him for no reason?"

Shi Yanxue shook her head. "I am also puzzled. I have been investigating outside the palace for a long time. The two have never met before, let alone have any intersection."

"Even the Ling family has no conflict with the Liu family. Besides, even if you want to target that person, it should be you, the queen, who should be targeted. Why should a mere noble like her have anything to do with it?"

Yan Wan glared at her and picked up the teacup. "The Queen Mother is protecting Liu Furong. Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to do that? No, the Queen Mother has a good relationship with the old lady of the Ling family. If she really did it, the old lady of the Ling family would not give up."

Shi Yanxue shook her head. "That's not necessarily true. I heard that when the two of them were together, the ones who opposed it most fiercely were the eldest daughter of the Ling family and the old lady."

"The eldest daughter of the Ling family was divorced because she plotted to murder the man in Yuhua Palace. Not only were her children left in the Luo family, she was also punished to meditate in a nunnery."

"Now that people are trapped in the palace, isn't this a good opportunity? If they can't leave the palace for their entire lives, they may die in the palace."

"The third son of the Ling family will be sad for a year or two at most, and it's not a bad idea for him to remarry and have children."

Yan Wan thought about the meaning of her words, shook her head, and then nodded, "The third child of the Ling family has deep feelings for him and will definitely not give up easily."

"If it was really Concubine Wen's idea, not only would the Emperor have gotten Jiang Yun, but Ling Lao San's idea would also have been stopped. Concubine Wen could also take the opportunity to take credit and release Liu Furong."

"But why would Liu Furong target Jiang Yun?"

Shi Yanxue leaned back and sighed, "Your Majesty, there is a young eunuch in my palace who is from the same hometown as the young eunuch beside Doctor Sun. I heard a lot of talk."

"On New Year's Eve, the emperor used force, and the man refused to obey and bit his tongue."

"boom"

The tea bowl fell and shattered all over the floor. Hearing the noise, the palace maid outside the door came in to clean up. Shi Yanxue smiled and said, "It's all fine, it's all fine, hurry up and clean it up."

Yan Wan also laughed, "My hand slipped and I even scared myself."

"Hahaha."

After the cleaning was done and the maid left, Yan Wan restrained her expression and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's true."

Yan Wan stood up and walked around twice, then sat back down, with some anger evident on her face, "I never thought that the emperor would do this."

"How are you doing?"

Shi Yanxue sighed, "His life was saved, but I heard that he was terrified. I don't know anything else."

"Your Highness, there is one more thing. The dress was also prepared by Concubine Wen. At that time, there was a lot of hassle. The chief eunuch in Concubine Wen's palace wanted to take it away secretly, but was stopped by Eunuch Li."

"I think the dress was tampered with."

Yan Wan sighed heavily, "Although the emperor is overbearing, he doesn't force me. I have endured it several times, but not that time."

"No matter how obsessed he is, he won't ignore his body. There must be something wrong."

"But, we can't get involved in this matter. The more we get involved, the more chaotic it will be."

"If Wenxia starts to make random accusations, I won't be able to explain myself even if I'm right."

Shi Yanxue nodded, "That's right. I will quietly remind Eunuch Li. The emperor is so smart that he will definitely figure out the key."

"Okay, be careful."

"Yes."

Yan Wan sighed, "I really like him. He is lively and cheerful, and has no ulterior motives."

"Zejia and Zeming also like him, and the two children are no longer as dull as before. Children know best who is sincere to them."

Shi Yanxue nodded, "Zi Yu has only met him a few times, and he often asks him to tell stories."

"If your majesty feels pity for him, why not help him escape from this man-eating cage."

"How to help?"

Shi Yanxue tilted her head to look around and lowered her voice, "The emperor is domineering and confident. He is always cold and calm. He never changes his decision and will never admit his mistakes to anyone."

"But I saw the emperor panicking over him, apologizing and begging for forgiveness, enduring several times, and even contradicting the queen mother and punishing the ministers who gave him advice."

"The emperor is confident that he can take good care of people in the palace. If he is asked to admit that the person in Yuhua Palace is not suitable for living in the palace."

Yan Wan raised her head and looked at her, "How could the emperor admit it? You said he was overbearing and confident, it would be more appropriate to say he was overbearing and authoritarian."

"Your Highness, that is the Emperor. How dare I, your concubine?"

Yan Wan curled her lips, "Tsk, our emperor is a cold-faced demon on weekdays. The children dare not approach him when they see him."

"I really don't want to confront him. It won't benefit me at all."

"Tell this matter quietly to King Chen An and ask him to think of a solution. The emperor still values ​​this brother."

Shi Yanxue pursed her lips and spoke with some difficulty, "I'm afraid it's useless. The emperor won't listen to Prince Chen An."

"how come?"

She raised her head awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I also like the one from Yuhua Palace."

",,,"

"It's true, but the prince has always been polite. He just keeps it in silence and never oversteps the line."

",,,"

"The emperor also knew about this. It was because of this that he arrested the person in the first place. He never thought that he would fall into it himself."

",,,Two brothers are fighting for one, but they haven't won over Ling Lao San?"

"Uh, yes."

Yan Wan felt like she was struck by lightning. "Not really. At least the emperor is more ruthless than the prince. He got the person first before he could get the heart."

",,,Should we tell the prince?"

Yan Wan gritted her teeth and said, "Tell her, of course I'll tell her. It's already so lively, so it's nothing more than making it more lively."

"By the way, tell the prince about Concubine Wen and Liu Furong. He has many connections and may be able to find out something that we can't."

"Yes, ma'am."
