Why is Yinzhen here?

At this time, he should be accompanying Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Cao who were taking care of Wen Yi, or comforting the wronged Zhen Huan. Those two were the sisters of important ministers and old friends whom he held in his heart.

Instead of coming to her, could it be that he was influenced by love again?

Ye Bingshang felt sad, but her mind became clearer. She raised her chin slightly and looked up at Yinzhen who was holding her in his arms, almost crying, "Your Majesty, do you trust me?"

This was a trick she often used in her previous life, but it had no effect on the arrogant and powerful Ye family. Now that she met an emperor like Yinzhen, who had a strong desire for control, she was easily susceptible to the same trick.

There is nothing to be ashamed of singing whatever song you want on the mountain. Even if he only treats her as an appendage or entertainment, it is enough as long as he can let her reach a high position with his preferences.

Yinzhen was silent for a moment, his eyes moved away from Ye Bingshang's face and moved to the white jade pear blossom hairpin pinned on her bun, "Of course I believe Mei'er, could it be that Mei'er still doubts me?"

Ye Bingshang leaned softly in Yinzhen's arms, "Of course I believe Your Majesty, but every time I think of Jiang Cheng's plot to frame me, I feel uneasy. This morning in Qingliang Palace..."

"If I hadn't picked a few morning glory flowers on a whim on the Qixi Festival to send to Sister An, and if it weren't for the good memory of the Emperor and Sister An, I'm afraid I would have difficulty proving myself today."

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Yinzhen's tone was calm and steady, without any expression. Ye Bingshang didn't believe it at first, but she was inexplicably comforted.

She rubbed Yinzhen's chest in response.

"As for what An promised, we should thank her. I will see to it." Yinzhen reached out and rubbed Ye Bingshang's earlobe, feeling very satisfied with her gentleness.

"Why aren't you wearing earrings, but you don't like the ones you had before?"

"It was because I felt that my ears were hurting from wearing the earrings for so long, so I took them off when I returned to my palace." Ye Bingshang's voice was soft and gentle, but a little more muffled than usual.

Yinzhen felt annoyed again after listening to this. He was angry that the person in his heart might be angry with him because he could not deal with Hua Fei's affairs for the time being. He was even more angry that Hua Fei did not know her limits and was always causing trouble.

He also thought about how she had been poisoned to the point of being weak last time, but Concubine Hua still held on to her and refused to let go. This time, she even dared to attack and use her daughter.

Could it be that he really thought that he could do whatever he wanted by relying on Nian Gengyao's power, and oppress and harm concubines and princesses at will in the palace? I'm afraid he would even ignore the prince in the future.

Nian Gengyao, Yinzhen repeated the name silently in his heart, a ruthless murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he thought of the war in the northwest again, and the eighteen pieces in his hand were clenched.

They each had their own thoughts, but they slept in each other's arms with their clothes on.

This was the second time that Yinzhen stayed overnight in Xianyue Pavilion. Since the night of his promotion, although Yinzhen often came to see her, he mostly came during the day or went back after having dinner with her.

Ye Bingshang felt a little uncomfortable, not only because she was sleeping in the same bed with an unfamiliar man, but also because of her own ideas. She was considering whether she should sleep with him.

The poisoning that day only looked serious. The amount Wen Shichu gave her was small, so she drank even less. She had recovered after being nursed for so long. What she was taking now was just some medicine to nourish her body.

Considering Shen Meizhuang's family background and the influence of her love on Yinzhen, if she could give birth to a child safely, she could probably be made a concubine, and then she would be able to gain a foothold in the palace. Even if she lost favor later, she would not be without any ceremony.

Moreover, with the Queen who could not tolerate concubines giving birth to children and was accustomed to using others to kill people, she had to rely on Yinzhen's partiality to give birth safely while her feelings were still there.

The same is true for her importance in Yinzhen's heart. Such an intimate thing as sleeping with her will always generate some old feelings after many times.

"Can't sleep?"

From above her head came Yinzhen's voice, which was even lower and lazier than usual. Ye Bingshang raised her head, looked at him in the darkness, and said softly, "But did I disturb the emperor?"

"No, I can't sleep either." Yinzhen patted her shoulder gently, "It's just that you are already weak, you can't do this. I wanted to hold a canonization ceremony for you, but the queen said that the treasury is empty and it is not appropriate to hold a grand ceremony, so I have to compensate you from other places."

Ye Bingshang bit her back teeth quietly and said obediently: "I don't care about these. As long as I can always be by the emperor's side and live in harmony with the sisters in the palace, that's enough."

"I know you are always sensible, go to sleep." Yinzhen patted her lightly with a smile on his face. Just now he felt that she was a little insincere.

He actually felt that she was more unbridled and real than her usual well-educated and polite appearance. This was how the person he liked should be, not without desires, but knowing how to understand and sympathize with him.

……

In Bitong Academy, Zhen Huan, with her hair loose, sat on the table beside the bed in her pajamas, looking towards the direction of Xianyue Pavilion with a dim look in her eyes, no one knew what she was thinking about.

Cui Jinxi replaced the candle that was about to burn out and looked at Zhen Huan with some concern, "My lady, the lights in Xianyue Pavilion have been turned off. I think the emperor has gone to bed. You should also go to bed early."

Zhen Huan shook her head and looked away, her tone gentle but a little stubborn, "I'm not sleepy yet, Jinxi, go get the Book of Songs, I'll read it for a while."

"My Lady." Cui Jinxi called out in disapproval, but she also knew that she couldn't persuade Zhen Huan, so she sighed and took the book that Zhen Huan wanted.

"Back off, I'll be asleep in a bit, don't worry."

Zhen Huan held the book in her hands, but she could not concentrate on reading it. She kept muttering to herself, "The rain is drizzling in Dongting Lake, the smoke is thick in Huangling, I miss my husband but he is not coming, the waves are vague and difficult to rise..."

She had been favored for seven consecutive days, which made Concubine Hua jealous. In order to protect herself from angering others, she took the initiative to ask Yinzhen to go somewhere else. But she was sad and resentful in her heart, so she played this song.

Zhen Huan looked at the door expectantly, but she didn't see the figure pushing the door open. She felt disappointed and self-deprecating. Yes, he had gone to Mei Jiejie's place, and he went there voluntarily.

Unconsciously, tears welled up in her eyes and fell onto the book, soaking the ink marks. Zhen Huan put the book away and stared at the candlelight in a daze with a look of self-pity.

On the first day of Zhen Huan's service to the emperor, she knew that Yinzhen was the emperor and that his nights would never belong to her alone, so she would never feel so uncomfortable whether the emperor went to sister Mei's place or to other concubines' palaces.

But this time was different. This morning, she and Sister Mei were framed by Concubine Hua. She thought Yinzhen would come to comfort her, but she didn't expect that Yinzhen not only did not come, but also went to Xianyue Pavilion early in the morning.

She went to comfort Sister Mei, but she chose to go to Sister Mei's place. If she had gone to someone else's place, she wouldn't have thought so much.

She could feel that Yinzhen had become different since Sister Mei was released from the ban. Although Yinzhen had been very kind to Sister Mei before, he liked her more. He had always treated her in a special way.

But in recent days, she felt more and more that Yinzhen treated Meijie differently. He began to remember Meijie's likes and dislikes, and Meijie's habits. He had never been so attentive to her before, and she had always been accommodating his preferences.

These two people, one is her lover who is in tune with her, and the other is her good sister who is her confidant, they have another love behind her back. This feeling is like a double betrayal, which makes Zhen Huan feel particularly bitter and sad.

It thundered that day, and Yinzhen was also accompanying Sister Mei. It thundered today as well. Why was it that every time she needed Yinzhen's company, Yinzhen was always accompanying Sister Mei?

The more Zhen Huan thought about it, the sadder she became. She didn't understand why things suddenly turned out like this.

Was it because after Mei Jie was confined, Yin Zhen realized his feelings for Mei Jie? Or was there something else that happened between Yin Zhen and Mei Jie that she didn't know about?

"Forget it. I've known since the beginning that he is the emperor. He can like many people. What's so special about me?" Zhen Huan said angrily and blew out the candle.

When paying respects the next day, Zhen Huan appeared in front of everyone with dark circles under her eyes, which made Concubine Hua and Concubine Qi, who were not on good terms with her, mock her together.

Fortunately, Zhen Huan was eloquent and articulate, and she resolved all the problems one by one.

Hua Fei's eyes rolled, as if she suddenly understood something, "I'm afraid Wan Guiren has been waiting for the emperor all night without sleeping. It's a pity that the emperor went to accompany Lanpin last night and had no time to take care of you."

The tone was full of malice and gloating, but Ye Bingshang heard a hint of bitterness and sadness hidden in it. She quickly glanced at Concubine Hua. Could it be that Concubine Hua had the same experience?

Hua Fei turned her head and looked at Ye Bingshang with a slanting look, her lips raised with a mocking arc, "In the past, Concubine Wan was favored, and the emperor neglected Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan also came out with a haggard face. Now the situation has reversed."

"I hope you two can still maintain your sisterly love and not commit the seven sins of jealousy, don't you think?"
