The next day, Yongshou Palace received many rewards again. Jinzhong specially held a jade pendant with a pomegranate pattern engraved on it.

Pomegranates have many seeds, and many children bring happiness. This was given to Yan Wan by the Emperor to comfort her eager heart for a child.

"Jinzhong, do you think the emperor will stop taking Shupin's pregnancy-maintaining medicine? What reason will he give?" Yanwan let Jinzhong let her wear the jade pendant.

"My lord, the emperor is already somewhat interested. Just look at who will sleep with him tonight." Jinzhong responded while still concentrating on his work.

As the two of them expected, Shupin would sleep with them tonight.

Yan Wan heaved a sigh of relief and stroked the fabric on her chest. "What the outcome will be depends on the emperor's feelings."

However, Yihuan must have stopped taking the pregnancy-maintaining medicine. No matter what decision the emperor makes, there will be a foreshadowing. If Yihuan becomes pregnant in the future, the emperor will have fewer doubts because of what happened today.

Yan Wan didn't know what the outcome would be, but she thought that the emperor would not stop taking Shupin's pregnancy-maintaining medicine in a high-profile manner. Wouldn't that be intentional to arouse suspicion?

However, another day passed, and Yihuan came to Yongshou Palace on purpose to sit for a while.

As soon as she entered the room, Yanwan saw the disapproval on Yihuan's face. Before she could say anything, Yihuan came over and held her hands in his own palms, "Good Yanwan, why do I hear that you are so eager to have a child?"

"Didn't you just advise me a few days ago? Why do you seem to be confused again today?" Yihuan had a puzzled look on his face, and his moist eyes stared at Yanwan without blinking, getting very close to her.

Yanwan could feel the warmth coming from Yihuan's jade-like, delicate and smooth skin. Yihuan really cared about her sincerely.

Yan Wan withdrew her hand. She felt a little embarrassed when he suddenly came so close to her.

Yihuan has a somewhat cold personality. She seldom goes out and doesn't like to associate with people she doesn't get along with. In the past, when the two of them were closest, they would just whisper a few words to each other.

Yi Huanduan had never shown such emotion before, which surprised Yanwan.

"How did you know?" Yan Wan pulled her to sit down and asked with some confusion. She had deliberately avoided Yihuan's palace, so how did she know it so quickly?

Yi Huan tapped her shoulder lightly and pretended to be sad. "Ah, Yan Wan hid this from me. It seems that she really doesn't regard me as a confidant. If I hadn't wanted to go out for a walk today and happened to run into Concubine Mei, I don't know when I would have known about this."

"She told me that when she went to see you the day before yesterday, she saw you about to drink a bowl of black medicine. Is that true?" Yi Huan tilted his head to see her reaction. Seeing Yan Wan's dodging eyes, he added, "You are not allowed to hide it from me."

Yan Wan smiled guiltily, turned her head away from her and raised her hand to support her head.

Yan Wan held her forehead and smiled bitterly, "Sister, you are really something. You have to say all this."

This is an admission that this happened.

"It turns out that our Concubine Ling was so anxious and wanted to have a child that she even kept pouring bitter medicine into her mouth. I wonder who told me that if I took too much of this medicine, the child would be ugly. Have you forgotten all of this now?" Yihuan raised her eyebrows and recalled Yanwan's past words one by one, teasing her with Yanwan's own words.

Yan Wan looked embarrassed and muttered, "Oh, Yi Huan, please don't laugh at me."

She held the handkerchief in her hand and rolled it up with her index fingers. Unexpectedly, she rolled it too tightly and it got entangled with her hand. She tried to pull her fingers out but couldn't get them out.

Yihuan couldn't hold back her laughter and burst out laughing.

Yanwan became even more embarrassed, and just waited for the handkerchief to loosen up naturally, then she rolled it up with one hand and stuffed it into the gap between the chair.

"It's my mother who came over and urged me to have a child as soon as possible so that I can consolidate my favor." Yan Wan propped up her chin and said a little depressed, "That's why I was desperate and tried all kinds of treatments."

As soon as Yanwan opened her mouth, she put the blame directly on her mother. Yihuan would not ask her mother anyway.

Hehe, mother, you should take this responsibility first. Otherwise, how can I explain that I went through so much trouble just to give this infatuated person next to me a happy ending?

Yihuan gently stroked her shoulders and said, "Although you are my mother, you don't have to listen to everything she says. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Yanwan, don't be impatient."

Yan Wan nodded, pursed her lips, shrunk her neck and nodded repeatedly, smiling at Yi Huan in a flattering manner, "Yi Huan, I know."

Yihuan finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. She had thought that Yanwan had gone insane because of wanting a child and her rationality had completely gone out of her mind.

"The day before yesterday, I told the emperor about my anxiety, and he said I was being stupid." Yan Wan sighed and said, "Sister Mei Fei also told me not to be anxious, so you should tell me today too."

"Do you all think I'm stupid and not smart, so you are rushing to persuade me like this?" Yanwan pouted her lips, her eyebrows wrinkled into a ball of thread, and she insisted that Yihuan give a reason before she would give up.

Seeing this, Yi Huan coaxed her again, "Our Yan Wan is not stupid. Look, I was just wondering why the emperor suddenly mentioned the matter of the child. It turns out that you were the one who was talking about it."

"This really helped me. The emperor said a lot of heartfelt words to me. I feel that the emperor and I are closer now."

Whenever the emperor was mentioned, Yihuan's face was full of admiration, and he would always force her to join him in talking about how talented the emperor was in writing and how outstanding his appearance was. Yanwan had gotten used to it, and all she had to do at this time was smile.

If she had to say everything in her heart, Yihuan would not be able to fully express her love for Hongli even if she talked for three days and three nights.

She saw that Yan Wan's face was full of blessings, and she was happy for the harmonious relationship between Yan Wan and the emperor. She didn't feel any envy, jealousy or discomfort at all.

Yan Wan really treats her well from the bottom of her heart. If it were someone else, she would be so jealous at this moment.

Yihuan's smile was gentle and she was very happy in her heart, because of the emperor and because Yanwan was really good.

"Do you think this is a smart thing to do?" Yi Huan asked Yan Wan with a smile.

The embarrassment on Yan Wan's face disappeared immediately, and she began to smile foolishly, nodding repeatedly, "Yi Huan, you are right."

She took Yihuan's hand again and said sincerely, "Yihuan, I'm really happy for you that you can have a better relationship with the emperor."

No! Yes!

Yihuan, you are getting deeper and deeper into trouble. What should I do?

If she knew about the pregnancy-maintaining medicine one day, with her proud nature, she would definitely not seek this kind of impure, insincere and calculated love anymore.

Oh, what should I do? Yan Wan was very worried, but she had to put on a forced smile when she heard Yi Huan say how good the emperor was.

This attack from both inside and outside really made her angry.

Is it interesting to be cold-hearted, plotting against the person beside you, and playing tricks on a lovelorn woman? She really won't do anything bad to you, Your Majesty. Yan Wan was both indignant and disgusted.
