Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

Because Hai Lan interfered in government affairs and secretly raised troops beyond the imperial authority, the enraged emperor stripped her of her concubine status, demoted her to a commoner, and imprisoned her for life in the Yanx Palace.

If Wei Yanwan had not pleaded for her, asking Hongli to think about the Fifth Prince, Hai Lan would have died.

"From now on, the Fifth Prince will be raised by you."

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. I am a concubine. How can I raise the children of a deposed concubine?"

"That's not difficult. From now on, you are Concubine Ling."

Lin Tian, ​​[Your promotion to concubine is a bit too fast.]

Wei Yanwan, who says it’s not true?

Yongqi did not feel much emotion when he learned that his mother had been demoted to a commoner by his father.

He just stood quietly at the gate of Yanx Palace, and no sound could disturb him.

In his opinion, his mother has always been confused.

As for this son of his, he was nothing more than a tool of power. His mother had no extra care for him, and that was that.

Hai Lan, who was locked up in the Yanxi Palace, banged on the door frantically, like a mad woman.

"Open the door! I want to see my sister! I'm still waiting for my sister to come back! Open the door! I am Concubine Yu! Why are you locking me up here?!"

"Yongqi! Yongqi! Mother knows you're here, right? Yongqi, go and beg your father, the Emperor, for mercy! Let Mother out! Go quickly!"

"Are you going to call that bitch Wei Yanwan 'mother'? Get out! I don't have a son like you! Why don't you just die if you become the son of that bitch——"

Yongqi felt his ears soften as a pair of hands shielded him from the harsh words behind the door.

Turning back, Wei Yanwan was looking at him with a smile, her tone gentle, "Yongqi, Empress Wei is here to take you back."

Yongqi could see Wei Yanwan's lip shape, and his originally gloomy expression suddenly brightened up and he nodded in agreement.

The angry cursing in the Yanxi Palace continued, as if they were not tired.

Although Hai Lan did not love her son and was more of a use for him, the young Yong Qi desperately hoped that his mother would look at him more often.

Wei Yanwan knew the bitterness of separation between mother and child, and could see that Yongqi was still young and preoccupied. She held his hand and said on the way back, "Your mother will always be Concubine Yu, and I will still be your Empress Wei. Although she may not be clear-headed, it was not easy for her to give birth to you. If you want to visit her in the future, just don't let the Emperor see you."

Yongqi looked up at Wei Yanwan, his eyes slightly red, as if he could cry at any moment, and choked up, "Madam Wei, do you think my mother ever loved me?"

Wei Yanwan remembered that when Hai Lan gave birth, she almost had a difficult delivery because of the large fetus. As for the reason, she didn't know.

After all, she was just a little palace maid at that time and knew very little.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Yanwan continued, "Your mother had a difficult birth, and she risked her life to give birth to you. Of course, she loves you."

After saying that, Wei Yanwan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Yongqi's face, which looked like he was about to cry.

"Let's go, Madam Wei will take you back."

The changes in the harem were so huge that many people were even confused by the emperor's decision.

When Jin Yuyan knew that Hai Lan was completely deposed, she could not hide her excitement on her face, but when she learned that Wei Yanwan was promoted to the position of concubine, she was completely furious.

"Why! Why can she get all this so easily! Now even the Fifth Prince is being raised by her! Then what is the value of everything I have maintained step by step for so many years!"

She gave birth to two princes before she slowly climbed to the position of imperial concubine. As long as Wei Yanwan becomes pregnant, that position will be closer to her!

No! She would never allow this to happen!

"Master, you are a concubine now. That bitch Ying'er has climbed over your head. Will she take this opportunity to take revenge on you?"

Jin Yuyan glared and said viciously, "So what if I am a concubine now! The emperor's strong opposition to restore my position as Jiapin is just the beginning. Sooner or later, I will return."

"I've always underestimated her. I never thought she could climb to this position. Haha, maybe she used some despicable means."

"Just wait and see. She won't be able to keep jumping around for much longer. When that bitch Ruyi comes back, there will be something exciting to watch."

Compared to Jin Yuyan's jealousy and resentment, the others congratulated her sincerely.

Although the good-natured Concubine Chun disliked Wei Yanwan, she still managed to pretend to send a gift.

"I used to think you weren't competitive, and that being that way was fine. Even though your rank was rising slowly, it was still something to look forward to. But now you're rising so fast, I feel a little uneasy."

Listening to Concubine Wan's soft and weak words, Yi Huan, who was applying nail polish beside her, said nonchalantly, "She's been promoted, and the Emperor has his own considerations. Why are you worrying so much? Please don't spoil her fun when she's so happy."

Meipin leaned on the imperial concubine couch, her tone bitter, "Hey~ Wanpin, I told you that you are just worrying about nothing. Even if Wei Yanwan is Concubine Ling, she still has to play mahjong with us."

Yongqi sat quietly aside reading a book, and his sensibleness made people feel distressed.

"By the way, I heard that the Emperor is planning to bring the Imperial Concubine into the palace. Have you heard about this?"

Concubine Mei has always been well-informed, but Wei Yanwan knows even more details than she does.

Those are the contents that cannot be said.

Wanpin said calmly, "The Imperial Noble Consort has been away from the palace for half a year. The Emperor has had a long-standing relationship with her, so there's nothing wrong with bringing her back."

Yihuan didn't respond, but Meipin chattered, "I think something's wrong. The Emperor said he was bringing her back, but there's no joy on his face. Just compare the two palaces. Empress Xiaoxian's Changchun Palace is taken care of every day, but the Emperor has never sent anyone to Yikun Palace except Concubine Yu."

If you really care about Ruyi, this would not be possible.

At this moment, Yi Huan raised her eyes and asked casually, "Did the Queen Mother tell you?"

"how do you know?"

"Oh, although you are a bit gossipy on weekdays, if the Queen Mother hadn't been so interested in you, you wouldn't have observed so carefully."

The atmosphere in the Empress Dowager's palace was unusual.

In fact, Zhen Huan didn't want Ruyi to return to the palace.

She got some gossip from Mo Yan.

It turned out that Ruyi escaped over the wall on the night she arrived at Ganlu Temple.

Li Yu and Rong Pei, who were accompanying her, escaped with the stolen goods before her and left them behind.

Someone saw Ruyi having a close personal relationship with a man. Zhen Huan suspected the man's identity, but she never expected that this man would be Ling Yunche, who was married to the Khorchin tribe.

It's really interesting.

It's even wilder than what she played back then.

So Zhen Huan had tried to deceive Meipin and Shupin in advance, using both implicit and implicit words to persuade them to persuade the emperor not to bring the person back.

After all, pillow talk is the most effective.

Unexpectedly, Meipin confessed the truth after turning around.

But Hongli’s outrageous actions made everyone even more confused.

Because the candidate for the queen position has been decided, and it is Ruyi who is about to return to the palace!
