Yanwan took care of it for another three days.

During these three days, whenever she was awake, she was wondering who had harmed Yongcong.

Jinzhong came every day, and as soon as he got off work, he would sneak over to stay with her for a while.

Even if he could only stay for a quarter of an hour or half a quarter of an hour, or even sometimes when Yan Wan had fallen asleep and couldn't even talk, he would just sit by the bed and watch over her, and he would definitely come over regardless of the distance or the trouble.

On the third night after she was able to get out of bed, Chunchan watched her carefully, fearing that she would fall: "My dear, you are awake now, but you will disappoint those who wanted to see you fall!"

Yan Wan's legs were still weak, but she was anxious to see the Queen, so she resisted and practiced slowly in the room: "The Emperor likes me, and the Queen likes me too. Only when I fall can they take the throne. Naturally, they wish I would die..."

She was suddenly stunned and stopped abruptly.

Chunchan was startled and quickly supported her: "Master?"

Yan Wan's fingertips were cold. She held Chun Chan's hand tightly and looked at her straight in the eye: "Tell me, if the Seventh Prince is sick and gone, or even if the Empress is gone, who would benefit the most?"

Chunchan was so scared that she looked behind her and saw Lancui and Wangchan still guarding the door. She turned around with a pale face and said, "...With the prince not here, of course the wives of the princes will benefit. The queen... of course, yes..."

Her eyes widened: "Empress Xian?!!!"

Yan Wan was trembling all over: "The two concubines with the most princes in the palace are Consort Jia and Consort Chun! One of them is a foreigner, and the other is easily influenced and not favored by the emperor. The only one who can be the empress... the only one who can be the empress... is the one the emperor favors the most..."

She couldn't even stand still: "Go find Jinzhong and ask him why Concubine Xian suddenly lifted the house arrest?"

Chunchan was really scared: "Master, please don't worry, keep your voice down, I'll go right away, you must be calm, don't let someone with ulterior motives catch you and accuse you of disturbing the harem!"

Yanwan nodded with trembling fingertips, held Chunchan's hand and went back to sit on the bed. After Chunchan left, the expression on her face gradually calmed down, leaving only a cold calmness.

Ruyi has brains, but not much.

She didn't dare to say that she completely understood Ruyi, but she was confident that she knew about 80% of her.

This woman had no family honor, no friendship or family affection in her heart. Her heart and eyes were filled with only her young man. She was noble in her heart but bullied the weak and feared the strong. She always felt that the position of empress and the identity of the emperor's wife should have been hers. Even when she was a concubine, she always regarded herself as the principal wife.

At this time, Ruyi still remembered the identity of Emperor Hongli and was careful in everything. It was not until she became the empress that she took the emperor's promise to work together with her seriously and began to make it her mission to discipline her husband.

In other words, Ruyi is now confident that she is more powerful than the Queen, and is self-righteous, so she will not plot against the Seventh Prince.

So……

A face came into my mind.

Hailan!

The madst dog under Ruyi's command, he can do anything insane for Ruyi's glory and regards all women who might take away Ruyi's favor as imaginary enemies.

If she cooperated with some people to do something in order to get Ruyi out...

Jinzhong came in hurriedly: "What happened to your master?"

He rarely saw her so cold and sharp, as if the tearful Yan Wan in the past was just an act.

Yan Wan's eyes suddenly turned red: "Why did you come here in person?"

Jinzhong walked quickly to the bedside and looked at her carefully. He saw two bubbles of tears in her eyes that were about to fall. His heart ached: "I see that Chunchan is not in good condition, and I am worried about you."

After a pause, he said carefully, "You asked Chunchan to ask me about this matter, and I actually know a little bit. I once heard the emperor say that it was because the Seventh Prince began to have frequent low fevers again, and the Empress was too busy to take care of him, so she released Concubine Xian from her house arrest. The emperor also told Concubine Xian not to say that she didn't want the power in the palace anymore."

He was a shrewd man. Seeing Yan Wan's expression and thinking about what she asked, he felt nervous: "Master, do you think it was Noble Lady Hai?"

Yan Wan's face turned pale. "Noble Lady Hai is a vicious person, but no matter how vicious she is, she still needs connections to accomplish things. I really can't guess more. I'm just afraid. She has never liked me. She is also the non-blood sister of Noble Concubine Xian. Jinzhong, I'm afraid..."

Jinzhong carefully held Yanwan's hand. Seeing that she did not resist or struggle, she squeezed his fingers tightly. With her eyes rolling slightly, she lowered her voice and said:

"The Emperor personally ordered me to investigate, and with the cooperation of many parties, we still can't find out the reason. My Lord, I know what you are thinking, but from now on, you must forget all these guesses."

Of course Yanwan knew what he meant.

Many of the servants who participated in the incident committed suicide as an apology, and some were executed along with their entire clans. They were fools who didn't even understand what was going on.

Only a high-ranking official in the Imperial Household Department, together with Hai Lan who handles palace affairs for Concubine Xian, could have created such a flawless killing plan.

Now that the matter has been completely exposed, if a smart person raises an objection, then this smart person will surely become the target of public criticism. Who can be sure that she can survive the assassination attempts of the entire court until the emperor finds out the truth?

Yan Wan's fingertips were cold: "I, I know."

She had actually thought this through long before Jinzhong came, but...

Jinzhong needed her to be afraid. The more afraid she was, the more cautious he would be, so as not to be bitten by the poisonous snake hiding in the darkness.

Jinzhong pinched her cold fingers and said, "I have to go back and serve the emperor. You just need to take care of your health. Whether you live well in the palace depends on who the emperor favors. It's not that we won't take revenge, but we will do it slowly and carefully."

Yanwan looked into his eyes lovingly: "Yeah, I'll listen to you, Jinzhong, you should come to see me more often."

He hurriedly shook his head and said, "Li Yu doesn't like you, so you'd better stay away."

Jinzhong's blood boiled when he saw her. He was a steady and prudent but evil-minded second chief steward, but in front of her, he was always like a young man who wanted to prove himself. He was passionate and his eyes were drawn:

"I will come whenever I am free! Don't worry, I have already coaxed Li Yu! I am very capable!"

He kept looking at her with his eyes reluctantly, and slowly walked out of the room, until he stepped over the threshold, then strode away.

In the room, Yanwan rubbed her hands, which had been warmed by him, against each other until they were much warmer, then she wanted to get out of bed with a faint expression.

Chunchan came in hurriedly: "Master, let me help you!"

The coldness on Yanwan's face disappeared instantly. She leaned on her delicately, trying to hold on until she could walk smoothly and no longer looked lame. Only then did she go to bed to rest. Chunchan was so distressed that she wished she could hold her in her arms for the rest of her life.

The next morning, Yan Wan got up early, packed her things, took her medicine, and went to Changchun Palace immediately.

She had already sacrificed her life for the credit, and the emperor was in grief over the death of his legitimate son, so he had no time to consider rewarding her for the time being. However, from her understanding of the emperor, she knew that he would definitely not reduce the reward.

At times like this, she should do her best to the best of her ability.

What's more, she was really worried about the Queen.

Seeing her coming, Su Lian was enthusiastic for the first time, as if she was also the master: "Master, please come in!"

Yan Wan was slightly stunned by her attitude until she entered the main hall and saw the appearance of Empress Fucha.

Without any acting, her tears just rolled down.

In just ten short days, the Empress had become so thin that she looked unrecognizable. Although her body was still there, it seemed as if her soul had followed the Seventh Prince.
