Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

"Yesterday, the Empress summoned him for questioning. I want to know what he said."

“???” So that’s it?

Wei Yanwan raised her eyelids and said speechlessly, "Since you want to know, why don't you ask yourself?"

Jingse pursed his lips and muttered softly, "I went there several times but didn't see him. The more I went there, the more it seemed like I cared about him."

"Then ask the Queen."

"If the Empress Dowager had told me, would I still have come to you..."

"Or, could you also give him some warmth?"

When Jingse heard the word "yes", she immediately got furious.

“Who else is sending warmth?”

Wei Yanwan was so used to it that she almost forgot that this word shouldn't be used in that way.

After all, Ruyi is a girl that cannot be understood by ordinary people.

Just at this time, Yongqi had finished washing up and was led over by Chunchan.

"Master, are we having dinner now?"

"Okay, I guess Yongqi is hungry too."

Yongqi sat obediently on the chair, looking at Wei Yanwan with his wet puppy eyes, not daring to say a word.

"Pfft—why is my little brother so dumb?"

Wei Yanwan turned around and glanced at Yongqi, then angrily said to Jingse, "How dare you talk about your brother like that? He's still just a child."

Lin Tian: [……]

Jingse, "No love? I'm not a child anymore?"

"You're already an adult."

"..."

Okay, I just don’t love you anymore.

Yongqi looked at the two people arguing and was confused.

The Imperial Sister and Empress Wei are really weird.

He should just eat his food obediently and not cause any trouble for Empress Wei.

"Okay, you go down."

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

"Wait a minute, you have a good relationship with that noble lady Ling, right? Call her over."

Yihuan lowered his head, his emotions undetectable. He responded with a faint "yes" and then retreated.

"Fujia, I want them to put pressure on the emperor at this time. What do you think the success rate is?"

Fujia looked at Zhen Huan's confident expression and knew what she was thinking, so he continued speaking according to her words.

"Empress Dowager, in my opinion, the wedding will be next year, so there will definitely be some changes, so anything is possible."

"Oh, as long as it's good, I will fight for it for Hengti. Hengti has already been wronged, and I can't let Hengti be wronged too."

"Empress Dowager, what about the Queen..."

Zhen Huan understood what Fujia meant.

She had already had a falling out with Fu Cha Langya before. The two sides gave each other dowries and quarreled loudly, and their relationship had long been at odds.

Although Jingse's marriage had been settled and she had given half of her dowry to Jingse, it was still not easy to ask for more.

"I think Concubine Xian is quite resourceful. I asked her to come over. After all, those useless people like Yihuan are completely useless. They make me feel annoyed just by looking at them."

"Empress Dowager, can you ask Concubine Shu to ask Concubine Ling to come over?"

"That girl looks like she has her own ideas. Even though she has no family or background, she has been involved in many big and small things that have happened in the palace since she became the emperor's woman."

That she is content?

Zhen Huan doesn't necessarily think so.

How can someone who can repeatedly embarrass Concubine Yu and Concubine Xian be a simple person?

So this time, Yihuan was asked to go and call this person in person, firstly to give him a warning, and secondly to see if this person could be used by her.

Fujia frowned slightly and said with some disapproval, "Empress Dowager, Noble Lady Ling is very close to the Queen. I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"Friends? I don't believe there's anyone in this palace who can truly make friends. How can the relationship between people be so strong if there's no mutual interest?"

There will never be such a close friendship as that between her and Sister Mei.

The Queen was excused from her morning and evening visits today. Wei Yanwan was planning to go to Changchun Palace, but unexpectedly she ran into Ruyi who came to question her.

"Wei Yanwan, did you know that Ling Yunche has been locked up?"

Meeting Ruyi's eyes that seemed to be filled with poison, Wei Yanwan couldn't help but shiver.

Jinzhong, who was standing behind Ruyi, didn't even spare Wei Yanwan a glance. He advised Ruyi, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is calling you over."

Ruyi said with dissatisfaction, "There's no need to rush. I have something to say to her."

Wei Yanwan calmed down, put on a smile, and said neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Noble Concubine Xian, has Guard Ling been locked up? I can't help you with this matter."

In general, she gave Ruyi an ambiguous attitude, neither admitting nor lying. Even if Ruyi wanted to dig something out of her, she had no idea where to start.

"Your heart is so cold and hard that you don't even care about the past affection—"

"Your Majesty! I am now the Emperor's benefactor!"

Ruyi snorted coldly, looking at Wei Yanwan with eyes full of disdain and disgust. Just as she was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, Yihuan appeared.

"Noble Concubine Xian, be well."

Yihuan could tell at a glance that Wei Yanwan was being troubled by Ruyi.

Otherwise, the smile on this girl’s face would disappear.

In the past, even if Concubine Xian had said something to embarrass him, his expression would not have been as ugly as it is now.

"Sister Yihuan."

"What is Noble Concubine Xian planning to do?"

Ever since her silent breakup with Yihuan, Ruyi no longer bothered to maintain her usual calm demeanor in front of Yihuan. She blurted out, "Do I need to report to Shupin when I'm about to go?"

Yi Huan was not angry at her aggressive tone, and responded in a good-tempered manner, "Of course I dare not, but the Empress Dowager wanted to see Noble Lady Ling and asked me to go and call Noble Lady Ling."

What she said was to tell her implicitly that the Empress Dowager wanted to see Wei Yanwan now, so you, a noble concubine, should stay away and not be a nuisance here.

"What a coincidence! The Empress Dowager has also called me over. If that's the case, let's go together."

"Yes."

So this group of people went to the Cining Palace together with ulterior motives.

Ruyi always walked in front, and Yihuan and Wei Yanwan naturally followed behind her, not allowing her to step beyond them.

The entire team was silent. Apart from the breathing of the palace maids and eunuchs beside them, not a single sound could be heard.

Jinzhong turned around and glanced at Wei Yanwan quietly. The meaning in his eyes was self-evident, and both of them understood.

This little action did not escape Yihuan's sight, but made Yihuan feel a little strange. She always felt that the two of them seemed to be communicating with each other through their eyes.

But she didn't say anything and just kept it to herself.

It was indeed true that Yihuan came to look for Wei Yanwan, and the Queen Mother did specifically ask Wei Yanwan to come.

I just didn't expect that the Queen Mother also called her Concubine Xian.

This surprised Yihuan very much.

I guess the Queen Mother is still thinking about that matter.
