Hongli suddenly rushed in, scaring the three women in the room so much that they all screamed out in surprise.

The difference was that Empress Fucha instantly suppressed her panic and looked at Hongli calmly, while Yanwan immediately opened her arms, stood in front of Empress Fucha, and also pulled Jingjue who was blocking in front.

Jingxi...

The little girl actually picked up the small stool on the ground. Her face turned pale, but she looked over with sharp eyes.

Hongli: “…”

For a moment, the whole house was quiet.

Yan Wan was the first to speak: "Your Majesty! You are going to scare us to death!"

She completely collapsed and slumped down on the bed: "I thought it was an assassin!"

He rushed in very quickly. She recognized him as a man at first glance. It would have been fine if he was wearing bright yellow, but he was wearing a navy blue suit, which made him look old-fashioned like Ruyi. Moreover, in the dark night, he looked like a nightgown as described in the opera script!

Jing Jue quickly put down the small stool and looked at Hong Li awkwardly: "Father, why are you walking without making any sound? Your daughter is telling the story of suppressing bandits to the Empress and Yan Wan!"

Empress Fucha was helpless: "The emperor showed up quietly with such an expression, what is he going to do?"

Her tolerant look made Hongli feel that he had been seen through.

Hongli felt a little guilty and coughed lightly: "I got a good thing and wanted to give the queen a surprise."

Walking around the curtain, I saw Yan Wan preparing to get off the bed and salute, waving her hand: "Sit down, what are you doing?"

How could it make sense for the princess to sit on a small stool beside the bed while the concubine sleeps on the queen's bed?

Yan Wan was a little embarrassed: "I know how to massage, so I'll give you a massage. My posture is indecent, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Jing Ju sighed, "Father Emperor, you have to teach her well. I don't know where she got this kind of temper that she works so hard but doesn't know what to say. She didn't know how to do massage naturally, but she started learning it in the palace, and she also invited a great folk master to teach her on the way."

Hongli looked at Yanwan in surprise.

Yan Wan blushed: "I...I am just learning casually..."

But in fact, she is very talented and is not like the female doctor who just follows orders.

For the sake of Empress Fucha's health, she was so shameless that she kept asking her until she agreed to the massage. She was not afraid of being blamed for some daring actions and really dared to do it.

Jingjue didn't want to explain it too clearly, but Hongli knew it in his heart and sighed: "It's better for the queen to teach her a lesson. She just pretends to obey what I say but actually disobeys it."

Yan Wan hurriedly knelt on the bed and said she didn't dare, but her hands were secretly grabbing the hem of Empress Fucha's clothes.

Empress Fucha smiled gently and said, "Your Majesty, please don't deliberately scare Wanwan. Wanwan is timid, and you know that."

Hongli chuckled and said, "I think she is really audacious. If people knew what she did today..."

He shook his head: "No wonder you guys pushed everyone out. Not to mention the others, even Lian Xin and Su Lian would stop you after seeing how you massaged the queen."

Yanwan lowered her head guiltily.

Hongli patted her forehead and said, "Just when I praised you for your courage, you become timid again. Don't worry, I will cover for you. Go away."

Yanwan crawled to the side swiftly, and in the blink of an eye she saw Hongli sitting in the same position where she had just sat, with the back of his head facing her, talking to the empress.

She smiled at Jingjue, came down obediently, put on her shoes, washed her hands, and poured tea for Hongli.

Hongli looked at Jingjue and said to Empress Fucha: "Jingjue is very different from before. Empress, this is all thanks to you."

Thinking about how his daughter was fearless in the face of danger and was ready to fight back in an instant, he was filled with pride: "Although Jing Jing is a princess, she lives up to the glory of Aixinjuelu. She is a brave and resourceful child, and is not inferior to the prince!"

Jing Jing was shy and happy: "Father Emperor..."

Empress Fucha was also very happy and gently held Hongli's hand: "If it weren't for the emperor's daily teaching of Jingjue and broadening her horizons, how could she grow into a soaring eagle? I am very happy and proud."

Jing Jue became more and more shy. She didn't feel that she had done anything, but the fact that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor valued her so much made her feel very warm inside. She felt more confident now than in the past when she always talked about being a legitimate princess.

Jing Jing looked at Yan Wan and saw that Yan Wan's eyes were filled with envy. He couldn't help but be stunned: "Yan Wan, what's wrong with you?"

Empress Fucha looked over at once and saw that she was smiling as if nothing had happened. She thought for a moment and understood her loss and sadness.

She sighed slightly and whispered to Hongli, "Wanwan's mother has always only had eyes for her brother. During the five years she was imprisoned in Qixiang Palace, her mother said in person that as long as Wanwan's monthly allowance was given to her every month, she would not ask how her daughter was doing and let Concubine Jia use it as she pleased."

Yan Wan's eyes suddenly turned red. She would not have known these things even in her previous life.

Mother, she really only has Zorlu in her heart. As for her, she is just Zorlu's ladder to heaven.

Hongli didn't expect that Yanwan's family was like this. He thought she had such a good personality, and even if her family members were not very motivated, they always treated her very well.

Empress Fucha held Hongli's hand and pleaded, "Your Majesty, Wanwan is a simple-minded and soft-hearted silly girl. With a mother and brothers like her, I'm afraid she will cause trouble for her in the future.

Please help her and love her. Don't let her be bullied by others because of those two people who don't care about her at all. Don't dislike her just because those two people did something wrong."

Yan Wan hadn't cried in front of Empress Fucha for a long time, but when she heard her begging and thinking for her in such a gentle voice, she really couldn't help it.

During the witchcraft incident, her mother died. She struggled to give birth to a daughter, but was immediately sent away. Later, Wang Chan and others were captured and tortured in the Shenxingsi. Later, even she herself was sent to the Shenxingsi for interrogation.

She still remembers how Ye Xin said outside that her mother was dead and her brother was exiled when she was in so much pain as if she was split in half from below.

A lot of blood was leaking out of her body, and she was helpless.

It hurts so much!

It hurts so much!

Yan Wan tried to force a smile, but couldn't help covering her face and sobbing, "My Queen, if you don't want me anymore, there will be no one in this world who will love Yan Wan as a daughter! No one!"

Empress Fucha was so distressed that she hurriedly left Hongli behind, got out of bed barefoot, and hugged him tightly in her arms: "Good child, don't be sad, Jingjue will be with you, the emperor will be with you, and when you give birth to a child in the future, you will have closer relatives."

Yan Wan choked up, "How can it be the same? No matter who else comes to me in the future, they are not the Empress, and they will not love me as much as the Empress does."

Empress Fucha's eyes were red, and she hated herself deeply for not being able to live longer and being able to only protect her and Jing Jue for a few years.

The two girls were still so young, and the future was so long. After she died, how would they live? She would become a ghost and stay with them forever. What else could she do except laugh and cry with them and be anxious to the point of going crazy?

There has never been a moment like this when she regretted wasting her past and ruining her body for the illusory love that Ruyi talked about.

She looked at Hongli with tears in her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, can I... go and find some folk doctors? I want to live!"
