The book begins with the waste of all the members

I don’t know why, although it was not me who caused Concubine Chen’s difficult labor, I still felt inexplicably guilty when I saw her.

There was an awkward atmosphere in the air for a while.

Concubine Chen smiled faintly and said, "I apologize for your sudden visit. The Emperor said you were also at the palace and were injured. I heard you woke up so I came to see you. Are you feeling better?"

Even Concubine Chen spoke slowly and at a pace that sounded very comfortable to listen to.

Speaking of which, the emperor really has good taste. The concubines he has seen are all very beautiful, each with a different type of beauty.

The reason why she likes watching palace fighting dramas so much is because the actresses in them are all very beautiful.

Wei Yu stared at Concubine Chen in a daze, making her feel a little embarrassed.

It took Doctor Wen a few coughs to bring Wei Yu back to his senses.

"Ah, much better, nothing wrong, just a good night's sleep." Wei Yu said awkwardly.

"That's good." Concubine Chen glanced at her sister, Yun Yunyao still lowered her head.

"It's getting late, let's go back first."

Concubine Chen took Yun Yunyao and said goodbye.

Wei Yu: “…”

It happened suddenly, and she hadn't seen enough...

So they came to see her just to say hello? What kind of strange court etiquette is this?

The main purpose of Concubine Chen's visit this time was to take Yun Yunyao to learn about Wei Yu's situation.

After Yun Yunyao came back from her walk, she was absent-minded and worried.

After her repeated questioning, she learned that Yun Yunyao felt very guilty because she did not save Wei Yu, who was disguised as a man, in the first place, which led to Wei Yu being tortured and injured.

"Firstly, you didn't know she was Wei Yu. What if she was trying to trick you? If she really was a spy, wouldn't you have been implicated for nothing? Secondly, you are a woman, and she was a man at the time. If you rashly went forward to save him, whether you could save him or not is another matter, but it would definitely be bad for your reputation. Finally, and most importantly, you were afraid of getting me involved."

Concubine Chen tried to comfort her, but it had little effect, which led to Concubine Chen taking Yun Yunyao to see Wei Yu.

The main purpose is to relieve Bai Yunyao's psychological burden.

"You should finally be relieved now." Concubine Chen patted Yun Yunyao's hand, "You really don't need to take the responsibility for her injury on yourself."

"Yeah." Yun Yunyao was still in a bad mood. "Sister, I'm not as kind and simple as you think."

"Silly child." Concubine Chen hugged Yun Yunyao and comforted her, "Didn't you also ask the Emperor and Prince Ning to rescue them later?"

"Will my sister blame me?"

Concubine Chen smiled faintly, "How could it be?"

"But she almost caused my sister to have a difficult labor and couldn't give birth to Yixin, so I saved her..."

"Aren't Yixin and I fine too?"

"Sister is the one who is truly kind-hearted." Yun Yunyao leaned on Concubine Chen's shoulder, as if she had made some kind of resolution. "From now on, I will definitely protect you well."

Concubine Chen said with relief, "Thank you."

Yun Yunyao suddenly remembered something, looked up abruptly, and saw that Concubine Chen was still smiling, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

"What's wrong? Just say whatever you want to say."

"In the torture chamber... the emperor said," Yun Yunyao bit her lip and said, "Wei Yu is his queen."

The smile on Concubine Chen's face froze, and then she forced a smile, "The emperor's intentions are unpredictable. The emperor must have his reasons for saying this."

Yun Yunyao was anxious. "Sister, your current position is hard-earned. If she really comes back, how will you cope?"

"Wasn't she the queen before?"

"Wasn't there a Concubine Jia at that time? The two could check and balance each other." Yun Yunyao said worriedly: "The emperor protected you before, but now, the emperor treats Wei Yu just as well."

Concubine Chen looked like a little girl, holding Yun Yunyao's face in her hands, "It seems our Yunyao has grown up."

"Sister~~" Yun Yunyao took Concubine Chen's hand, "Aren't you worried at all?"

Concubine Chen shook her head and said calmly, "If it's not Wei Yu, there will be someone else."

"Can't that other person be my sister?"

Concubine Chen doted on Yun Yunyao's forehead and said, "I just said you've grown up, but it seems you haven't fully grown up yet."

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager have long been wary of the Yun family.

When the Queen Mother was pregnant, she didn't show much joy. She was blessed by heaven for giving birth to Yi Xin.

Her biggest wish now is that her father and brother can see the situation clearly, keep a low profile, and keep the whole family safe and sound.

"By the way, is father still in close contact with Prince Min recently?" asked Concubine Chen.

She rarely talked about her mother's family in front of the emperor unless the emperor took the initiative to talk to her.

Yun Yunyao was a little stunned by the sudden question. "My mother told me that last month, my father and my brother attended the first birthday ceremony for Prince Min's grandson."

Concubine Chen frowned.

"Did you receive any news, sister?"

Concubine Chen whispered a few words into Yun Yunyao's ear, and Yun Yunyao's face turned pale. "What should I do?"

"You should go back right now. If you can persuade your father, that would be great. If not, then you can only say it's fate."

"Don't worry, sister. I will talk to father."

The next day was the sixth day of August.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor said he would come to Fangqin Garden to have breakfast with you." Yang Yi, the chief eunuch in Concubine Chen's palace, reported.

Concubine Chen paused while holding the pearl hairpin. "Please have someone prepare breakfast first."

"Yes."

Concubine Chen's maid, Luxi, leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Third Miss left the palace before dawn and is almost in the capital now."

"That's good. How are the other preparations going?"

"Everything is ready, please rest assured, Madam."

Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

During the meal, Si Muzhen indeed asked about Yun Yunyao's situation.

"Auntie isn't feeling well today? Why didn't you come for breakfast?"

"Oh, no." Concubine Chen put down her chopsticks. "Last night, I received a letter from home saying that my mother was ill. My younger sister was extremely worried and started clamoring to go back to take care of her early in the morning. She's almost arrived in the capital now, but I haven't had time to tell the emperor yet."

Luxi came out holding a box, which contained a letter from home. The envelope read: From Shuyao.

Si Muzhen just glanced at the letter from home and had no intention of opening it.

"It's rare that my aunt is so filial. I'll send some medicinal herbs to the Yun Mansion to nourish your mother."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After finishing breakfast, Si Muzhen played with Yi Xin for a while before leaving.

On the way, Lin Su asked in confusion: "Why didn't the emperor just say it directly? No one from the Yun Mansion sent any letters home."

"No need. Noble Concubine Chen went to such great lengths simply to preserve the Yun family. I hope her fathers, who are more discerning than the heavens, will not let her down. For Noble Concubine Chen's sake, I am willing to give them another chance."

"The Emperor is so kind to Concubine Chen."

Si Muzhen turned and looked at Fangqin Garden, "I hope they won't disappoint me and Concubine Chen."
