Jinzhong hurried forward and answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, apart from some daily affairs that have been backlogged, there have been no major changes in the court. The ministers are all looking forward to your early recovery so that you can preside over the government."

"Over at the Yikun Palace... Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Xian has been staying in the palace to reflect on herself every day. Xiao Lingzi has also been taking good care of her. Her Majesty has been reflecting on herself well."

The emperor is so smart, how could he not hear the hidden meaning in Jinzhong's words?

Reflect carefully!

It's really a good time to reflect on yourself. Ruyi knew that she was in a coma, but she didn't feel anxious at all for all these years. I'm afraid she is happy that Ling Yunche will not be punished.

How could he care about the life and death of the emperor! He was even worried that Ruyi would be punished by the Queen Mother and the Empress because of his coma.

Jinzhong carefully watched the emperor's reaction and knew that he had said nothing wrong, but he didn't say much now. He just stood aside and waited for instructions.

But in my heart I was also sighing at Concubine Xian's good luck. She had committed suicide in such a way, and was simply putting a green hat on the emperor's head, but the emperor still showed pity and heartache again and again.

If it were any other concubine, she would have been dragged away and beaten to death, and thrown into a mass grave to be fed to dogs. No wonder the Empress Dowager and the Queen were so "lenient" to Concubine Xian. After all, no one wanted to be angered by the Emperor for no reason.

The emperor nodded slightly and rubbed his temple.

He looked through the window into the distance.

He knew that as the emperor, he had to recover his strength as soon as possible so that he could control everything, and he also had to let Ruyi see clearly who she could rely on.

Rong Yin took Wei Yanwan back to Changchun Palace.

Along the way, Wei Yanwan was carefully watching her condition and told her jokes to try to distract her attention, but Rongyin just walked silently, wondering whether Yingluo returned safely and the emperor's illness.

Back in Changchun Palace, Rong Yin sat on the couch, feeling exhausted like a tide.

The palace maids hurriedly brought hot water and snacks, but Rong Yin just shook her head.

She closed her eyes, and the image of the emperor when he woke up appeared in her mind. She prayed silently in her heart that Yingluo could return safely, even if they would never see each other again.

"My lady, don't worry. Miss Wei is blessed by heaven and will definitely be able to return safely."

Wei Yanwan carefully rubbed Rong Yin's temples and comforted her gently.

Rong Yin held her hand with her backhand, "You all can go down, Yan Wan, can you please talk to me?"

The palace maids and eunuchs waiting around immediately withdrew. Wei Yanwan sat beside Rong Yin with a smile, "My lady, no matter what, I will always be here with you."

"I have always been unsure whether I can stay in the palace and avoid the fate of Empress Fucha's early death. I also feel that the palace is not a good place, so I have always been inclined to want you to leave the palace."

When Wei Yanwan heard this, her eyes turned red. "Don't say that, Madam. You will definitely live a long life."

"But I have thought about this seriously these days and feel that I am too arbitrary in some matters and have not properly considered your perspective."

Rong Yin shook her head and gently held Wei Yanwan's hand. "My wish in both lives is to be able to leave this golden cage, not to be the daughter of the Fucha family, nor to be the queen. Because I have sacrificed too much and polished off too many edges and corners."

"So the way we handle many things is somewhat in line with the saying that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Fu Heng here is a good man, so I want to entrust you to him."

"At least he respects you enough and can protect you well. After you marry him, you will be the legal wife of the Fucha family. As long as I am alive, I will be your greatest support."

"But I ignored your idea. You have the same personality as Yingluo. I am afraid that if I don't make these arrangements for you, when I really go, you will still choose to become Concubine Ling and help me protect Jingse, Yonglian, Xiyue and the others."

Wei Yanwan turned her head away, not wanting the Queen to see her tears.

The queen was absolutely right. She didn't know what choice she would make when that day really came, but she was afraid that she would not be able to leave with peace of mind.

After all, there were countless people eyeing the throne, and Yonglian was a man of pure mind. He didn't understand the calculations in the harem at all, and he was unable to guard against many things.

Concubine Gao was of a straightforward nature. Without the balance of the Queen, she could never defeat Jin Yuyan, who had given up on Prince Yu, not to mention Concubine Diampoxian, who always regarded herself as her childhood sweetheart.

She knew that the queen had good intentions and wanted her to live her own life and not be bound by relationships, but how could she bear to give up such a good queen?

She didn't know what her world would be like if it wasn't crazy, but she knew that this Queen was actually stolen by her and originally belonged to Wei Yingluo.

Wei Yanwan wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "My queen, I... I know that Master Fu Heng is a good man, and I also know that if I can leave the palace and marry Master Fu Heng... my life will be completely stable."

Rong Yin looked at her calmly, her eyes full of heartache for her own sister.

"But Madam... please don't forget that I am Wei Yanwan! Wei Yanwan, who will climb up at all costs to live a better life!"

She teased Rong Yin deliberately.

"If that day really comes, I probably won't listen to you and will turn around to serve the emperor, protect Jingse and Yonglian for you, and protect the imperial concubine and the others for you!"

"When our Yonglian inherits the throne, my good days will finally come!"

Wei Yanwan deliberately pretended to be very happy. "That's much better than being someone else's wife or concubine! Our Yonglian will definitely protect me and give me good food, drink and clothes. I just need to stay at ease."

"I don't have any great ambitions. I just want to go downstairs to find you when I'm old and continue to serve you. But my lady, if that day really comes, you have to walk slowly and wait for me. I'm afraid to be alone."

"I want you to protect me even more."

When she said this, Wei Yanwan couldn't hold it in any longer, and threw herself into Rong Yin's arms and began to sob, "So I want you to apologize to Master Fu Heng on my behalf. I still want to be with you."

Although he stole the Queen from Wei Yingluo, he still didn't want to let her go.
