As she was pinching, Yanwan stopped and helped him to adjust his hat rope. The ring that Jinzhong gave her was still on her fingertips.

Something big is going to happen soon, so Jinzhong has to prepare to go back to work.

Yan Wan reluctantly straightened the collar of her eunuch's uniform and couldn't help but advise, "You're serving the Emperor, so be careful in everything you do. He's very suspicious. Don't come to my side unless necessary, and don't speak well of me in front of the Emperor. Although Yongshou Palace is close to Yangxin Palace, you should stay away from people more often."

"I understand. I will listen to what my master says. It's getting late. My master, please go to bed early. I will go back first."

Jinzhong was also reluctant to leave, but seeing that the time was almost up, he could only leave in disappointment.

Although the job in the Yangxin Palace is the best position for eunuchs in the palace, he cannot be by Yan Wan's side all the time, so those benefits are nothing in his eyes.

It would be better if he could switch with Wang Chan and become the manager of Yongshou Palace, so that he could stay with her every day.

When the two were alone in the palace, Chunchan and Wangchan stood guard at the palace gate to keep watch for them. Yanwan became the emperor's concubine because of Jinzhong, so the two were not surprised by this.

Zuoyou Jinzhong is just a eunuch. Even if he goes against the will of heaven, he can't cause any terrible disaster.

"Eunuch Jinzhong, let me take you there!"

When Wang Chan saw Jinzhong coming out, he quickly sat up, picked up the lantern and wanted to send him back.

"Go aside!"

Jinzhong got angry when he saw Wang Chan. He gave him a cold look and turned away.

Wang Chan was inexplicably bullied and looked at Chun Chan in confusion: "What happened to Eunuch Jinzhong? Did he eat firecrackers?"

"I'm afraid he's in a bad mood because he couldn't reach an agreement with his boss. He's narrow-minded. You should stop trying to make trouble in front of him. Be more considerate."

Chunchan didn't understand what was going on either, and just thought that the two were arguing inside, so she told him to stay away from Jinzhong.

Wang Chan sighed helplessly, it was really hard to be caught in the middle.

"Spring Cicada, come in quickly."

"I'm coming." Chunchan heard Yanwan calling, and signaled Wang Chan to go back and continue to keep watch, and turned around and went in.

It was almost late at night. Chunchan and Lancui helped Yanwan take off her hairpins and rings. Her black hair flowed like a waterfall, and a picture of a beautiful woman dressing up appeared on the paper.

"Our master is so beautiful."

Chunchan combed Yanwan's hair carefully, looked at Yanwan in the bronze mirror, and praised her.

"Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. You should share the jewelry in this box with Lan Cui. You are at the age of blooming flowers, so you should dress up well."

Inside the box were several silver-inlaid Hetian jade hairpins, plain in style, so they wouldn't stand out to the palace maids. They had been delivered from the Imperial Household Department a few days earlier, and since Yanwan wasn't short of jewelry, she simply distributed them among her maids.

"Thank you for the gift, my Lord. Our Lord is the most generous of all the people in the palace. It is a blessing for us servants to serve you."

"Yes, our master is the best master in the palace."

Chunchan and Lancui received the reward and immediately expressed their gratitude happily. Her sweet words made Yanwan smile from ear to ear.

Yan Wan was smiling when she suddenly thought of Chun Chan and Lan Cui from her previous life. A trace of shame appeared on her face. She held their hands and asked, "You and I are the same age. In a few years, we will be 25 years old. Palace maids can leave the palace and get married at this time. Do you want to..."

"I will not marry anyone, I only wish to stay by my master's side and serve him."

"Yes, we just want to stay with the Lord forever and don't want to go anywhere else."

When they heard about getting married, Chunchan and Lancui panicked, thinking that Yanwan was going to drive them away. They quickly knelt down with tears in their eyes.

"Hurry up and get up. I'm not asking you to get married. I'm just asking for your opinion. This deep palace is lonely. You don't have to spend your whole life here like me. I thought if you wanted to get married, I would help you find a good one. Well, if you change your mind, remember to let me know. I can support you. If you just want to stay in the palace with me, as long as I am here, you will always be my aunts who manage the Yongshou Palace."

Yanwan helped the man up and spoke softly.

Before the master and servant finished their work, Wang Chan came in hurriedly to report.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. They say there's an assassin in the palace, and the guards are running around trying to catch him!"

"Wang Chan, have people guard all the gates of Yongshou Palace. No suspicious people are allowed to enter or leave our Yongshou Palace."

Yanwan narrowed her eyes slightly and quickly asked the people below to guard the palace gate.

"Whoo."

Wang Chan, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly took the eunuch on duty to guard all the gates of Yongshou Palace.

"Lan Cui, go and find out about Prince Yu's arrival in the capital in a few days. I'm afraid he's almost here. Concubine Jia is about to give birth. If she knew this news, it wouldn't be good!"

It was finally almost there. Yan Wan let out a breath and felt extremely happy.

There was a lot of commotion that night. The next morning, as soon as Yan Wan woke up, she learned about the assassination in Yiku Palace last night.

Last night, Sanbao, the eunuch in charge of Yiku Palace, discovered that an assassin had broken into the palace at night. Unfortunately, the assassin was very skilled and was not caught.

The assassin was dressed in a white robe and moved freely in the palace. He should not be underestimated.

Concubine Jia assisted in the management of the six palaces and found many clues. At this time, the emperor was in Qixiang Palace and asked Li Yu to summon Ruyi there.

The summer was hot, and the clothes she wore were sticky and stuck to her body. Ruyi felt a little uneasy along the way. She always felt that this was directed at her.

The emperor was already resentful about what happened in Yuhua Pavilion, and when he heard that the assassin's clues last night pointed to Ruyi and Master Anji, he felt even more depressed.

He was feeling upset and didn't want to look carefully at the so-called evidence and Ruyi's rebuttal, allowing Concubine Jia to instigate him.

The seven-treasure bracelet and the adultery letter imitating Ruyi's handwriting pointed to her everywhere, and looked very clumsy, but the emperor was suspicious and easily believed Jin Yuyan's words.

Ruyi had no way to defend herself and could only return home.

Although he did not completely believe Jin Yuyan's words, he still had a grudge against Ruyi and Anji.

He looked gloomy at this time, and sat silently at the top, stroking the ring in his hand.

Ling Yunche was originally guarding the door. When he saw Ruyi coming out, she looked dazed, pale, and shaky. He hurried forward to support her, throwing all the so-called rules out of his mind.

"What happened to the Imperial Concubine?"

Ruyi felt a golden light before her eyes. She looked at him gratefully and instinctively pulled her hand away, saying, "Thank you."

Li Yu happened to be coming out of the palace. Seeing this scene, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurried forward to help Ruyi over. "...Your Majesty, please take care of yourself, otherwise some people will be even more proud."

He glanced behind him quietly, his face grim.

The throne of queen is vacant, and there are constant disputes in the palace.

Ling Yunche and Li Yu assured Ruyi that they would do their best to help her, and only then did Ruyi return to Yikun Palace with peace of mind.

"Did you all see it clearly?"

At the corner, Yan Wan watched the actions of several people, and she turned her head to ask the person behind her.
