Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Chapter 216 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace Wei Yanwan 9

That day, Wei Yanwan and Concubine Mei were sitting at the table enjoying the newly arrived snow swallows, their moods light and cheerful. However, at this moment, Jinzhong quietly approached Wei Yanwan and whispered something in her ear. Wei Yanwan nodded slightly, signaling Jinzhong to leave. Then, she turned to Concubine Mei and said, "Sister, have you heard? Concubine Xian is pregnant!"

Concubine Mei was horrified upon hearing this, and the cake in her hand instantly fell to the ground. Her eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "She must be crazy! This is the crime of deceiving the emperor! If the emperor finds out, it will be a heinous crime punishable by the death of all nine generations of her family!"

Wei Yanwan smiled slightly, took a sip of water, and said slowly, "Sister, do you know why Concubine Xian has been favored by the Emperor for so many years, but has never been able to get pregnant? In fact, as early as when Concubine Xian entered the palace, our virtuous Empress had already given her contraceptive pills..."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Mei opened her mouth in surprise and said in disbelief, "No way! For all these years, the imperial physician didn't even notice she was drugged!"

Wei Yanwan smiled slightly, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes as she explained, "That's because this medicine isn't just any ordinary medicine. It's a high-end, harmless contraceptive called Linglingxiang. The Queen hid it in a red gold bracelet inlaid with gemstones and encrusted with flowers, a tribute gift from the Queen Mother. The bracelet itself is hollowed out, and most people would never imagine that it holds such a secret."

Concubine Mei couldn't help but gasp and said in shock, "I remember that Concubine Gao also had the same bracelet. I heard recently that her health has worsened. We always thought that her poor health had caused her inability to conceive for many years, but we didn't expect it to be the Queen's conspiracy! It's so abominable! Concubine Gao did so much for the Queen, but she ended up like this..."

Wei Yanwan's lips curled up into a smile, and she whispered, "If the Imperial Concubine knew that her physical condition was deliberately caused by Qi Ru arranged by the Queen Mother, causing her condition to become increasingly serious over the years, how do you think she would react? Or if she learned that the person she was loyal to was the one who caused her to be childless for many years, guess how lively the harem would become!"

After a moment's reflection, Concubine Mei replied, "Perhaps we could inform the Imperial Concubine about this. That way, she'll surely turn against the Empress. After all, the power of Concubine Gao's family shouldn't be underestimated." Wei Yanwan took a bite of the pastry in her hand and said slowly, "Don't act hastily. My sister's baby is about to be born, and we must be extra careful to avoid being schemed against." Concubine Mei gently stroked her belly and said firmly, "Don't worry, I'll be extremely careful."

Wei Yanwan looked at Concubine Mei and said with a firm look in her eyes, "When the time comes, I will arrange for Aunt Yuhu to guard you outside the delivery room. That way, those women in the harem with ulterior motives will not dare to attack you easily."

After hearing this, Concubine Mei was filled with gratitude, but she couldn't help but worry, "You gave Aunt Yuhu to me, so what will you do? Now the women in the harem want to tear you into pieces, how can you still smile!"

Wei Yanwan put away her smile, gently patted Concubine Mei's hand, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I believe that with the Emperor's protection, I will be fine. As for you, you don't have anyone reliable around you, so it's easier for others to take advantage of you. Therefore, it is more appropriate for Aunt Yuhu to stay with you."

Seeing Wei Yanwan's persistence, Concubine Mei was deeply moved. She knew that Wei Yanwan really wanted to help her, so she stopped refusing and held her hand tightly, saying, "Thank you, Yanwan..."

A few days later, shocking news came from the harem—the Concubine Xian in the cold palace was pregnant! This news shocked the entire palace, and Emperor Qianlong couldn't believe it. To verify the authenticity of the news, Emperor Qianlong personally led the imperial physician to the cold palace, hoping to get the truth.

When they arrived at the cold palace, they were stunned by the scene before them. Ruyi and Ling Yunche were together, looking very close, like a loving couple. Emperor Qianlong was furious. Unable to accept this, he immediately ordered Ling Yunche to be beaten to death and the entire Ulanara clan to be exiled to Ningguta. As for Ling Yunche, since he had no relatives, he was the only one to be executed.

This incident caused a huge uproar, shocking the entire harem. The Empress was angered by Emperor Qianlong, who believed she was failing to manage the harem effectively. Not only did he strip her of her palace power, he also took back the Phoenix Seal, the symbol of power. Wei Yanwan was enjoying delicious dumplings from the small kitchen when she saw Li Yu walk in carrying something. She immediately asked, "What's this, Eunuch Li?"

Li Yu replied respectfully, "Greetings to the Imperial Noble Consort Chen! The Emperor sent this to you, saying that he wants you to be in direct control of the Phoenix Seal and be responsible for managing the affairs of the six palaces."

Wei Yanwan's face showed surprise and pride, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Thank you for the trip, eunuch. Chunchan, take a purse and give it to eunuch, let him take it to have tea. By the way,惢心 was recently transferred to Yongshou Palace. I have arranged for her to be a second-class maid, specifically responsible for tidying up my study!" After saying that, Wei Yanwan's mouth corners rose slightly, as if implying that only when he is well will惢心 be well.

Li Yu took the purse and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he left, feeling relieved. 惢心 wouldn't suffer any loss by following the Imperial Noble Consort. He believed that with him around, the Imperial Noble Consort would treat her well.
