Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

"This is all my duty. This matter is indeed because of me. If I really hurt the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress, wouldn't I be committing a serious offense? I come from a humble background and have heard harsh words before. These are just a few taunts. If it can help ease the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress, then I can bear it..."

"The Empress is simply worried about your health. I'll go out and persuade her to go back so the Emperor can calm down. I've already sent for Imperial Physician Jiang Yubin. Even if the Empress doesn't trust me, she can always trust Imperial Physician Jiang, right? Once Imperial Physician Jiang comes over and takes a look, if the Emperor is healthy, the Empress will calm down."

Yan Wan helped the emperor change his clothes, fastening the dragon-patterned buttons on his clothes while giving him advice in a gentle voice, looking obedient and considerate.

Seeing that the emperor had almost calmed down, Yanwan turned her head and gave Jinzhong a look.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the first time I've seen you so angry. The Empress is also concerned about your health. If she had waited for Imperial Physician Jiang to come and see if you were healthy, she wouldn't have been so persistent."

Jinzhong followed beside her and noticed her gaze. He took the dirty clothes that Yanwan had changed out of and handed her the emperor's belt, then followed her with a humble look to persuade her.

The two of them walked one in front and one behind, and in just a few words they smoothed the dragon's whiskers.

"That's good. You always do things so carefully. You learned a lot from Empress Xiaoxian when you served her in her palace."

The emperor hadn't expected Yan Wan to be so considerate as to think of calling in the imperial physician. Once the physician had given her diagnosis, Ruyi would surely have stopped kneeling so stubbornly.

The Empress Dowager finally calmed down, so why did Ruyi act like this too? He, the Emperor, had to be constantly constrained by them. If this were to become public knowledge, wouldn't it be laughable?

The emperor must have felt quite regretful. Why had he argued with her in public? He even resorted to violence, losing his gentlemanly composure. Such vulgar behavior was no different from the common people who quarreled over trivial matters and caused unrest in their homes.

The thought of this gave him a headache, and he began to blame Ruyi in his heart. He had repeatedly given both sides some way out, but she insisted on tearing each other apart and arguing. What exactly did she want to make her stop?

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. Jinzhong, you take good care of Your Majesty. You must be dizzy from anger. Please give Your Majesty a good massage. I will go and comfort the Empress. The sun is scorching outside. Even I can't stand it, let alone the Empress's precious body. Please don't hurt yourself by kneeling."

"Whoo."

Seeing that the matter was 70% accomplished, Jinzhong agreed with a smile.

He is worthy of being my master. He can manipulate people with just a little trick.

"Go ahead. If the Queen is really stubborn, then don't try to persuade her anymore. This is my harem, and you are my concubine. Even if you are the Queen, there is no reason for you to be so aggressive."

"Yes, I know this clearly. This matter was caused by me. If it cannot be resolved peacefully, I will be blamed."

Yan Wan agreed and walked away. If she knelt again, Ru Yi would probably faint, and Yan Wan would never give her that chance.

"Empress, I know you are worried about the Emperor's health. I have sent for Imperial Physician Jiang. Please come and get him. I have already arranged for the side hall to be cleared. I beg you to condescend to sit in the side hall of Yongshou Palace until the Imperial Physician has made his diagnosis. I will accept any punishment you may have."

After leaving the palace, Yanwan knelt beside Ruyi and whispered in a low voice.

"I will not get up until the emperor comes out."

Ruyi looked straight ahead, staring inside without any intention of bowing her head to show weakness.

"Empress Ling Fei, if you truly wanted to comfort the Empress, you shouldn't have offered the Emperor deer blood wine in the first place."

Rong Pei was kneeling beside her. Seeing Yan Wan's expression, she couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

"Even if Aunt Rong Pei is a big favorite in the eyes of the Empress, and even if I have committed many evil deeds, I am still the Emperor's concubine. The Emperor is still in there. The master is the master. No matter what, it is not your turn to discipline her..."

Having said that, Yan Wan paused, looked at Ruyi's rather ugly expression and continued.

"Empress, it's fine if you don't care about yourself, but please also take a closer look at the palace maids kneeling beside you! They are kneeling with you in this scorching summer sun, how pitiful! Please at least have some compassion for them. If anything happens to them, the Emperor will not only feel sorry for you, but he will also punish them for not caring enough."

As soon as these words were spoken, the palace maids kneeling behind Ruyi also began to get scared, and rustling sounds were heard all around.

Rong Pei was blocked by Yan Wan and was thinking about how to respond. She was shocked when she heard the second half of her sentence.

Oh no! She forgot!

All those kneeling there were from the Yikun Palace. If their loyalty to the Queen was hurt, they would be easily taken away, which would be a loss.

Seeing someone's expression moved, Yan Wan continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Why don't you quickly persuade the Empress to get up? If she's hurt, even ten lives won't be enough to appease the Emperor's wrath, don't you agree, Aunt Rong Pei?"

She looked at Rong Pei with a forced smile, and the threat in her words was evident.

"Your Majesty, please get up quickly. If you kneel down and get hurt, we servants will be in trouble..."

Some of the brave ones couldn't help but speak out to comfort them.

"Yes, Queen, please have some mercy on us servants and go to the side hall to rest!"

"Please, Queen, have mercy on me and get up quickly!"

"Please have mercy, Queen!"

"Have mercy, Queen!"

The timid ones had already started to kowtow, and for a moment, all the palace servants brought by Ruyi were kowtowing as well.

They are not stupid and can tell who is the real master of the harem.

Faced with everyone's panic, Ruyi actually felt as if she was being roasted on a fire. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead and she really began to feel unwell.

She couldn't help but look up at Yan Wan, her heart was shocked, and a horrifying thought vaguely emerged in her mind.

When did she become so scheming? Or has she always been like this?

"Your Majesty, let's get up first. We are here for the Emperor's holy body. Now that Imperial Doctor Jiang is here, it's not too late to talk after he makes a final decision."

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to Ruyi, Rong Pei also hurried to persuade her.

Jiang Yebin was invited into the Yongshou Palace by people. When he saw the people from the Yiku Palace kneeling on the ground in the courtyard of the Yongshou Palace, led by the Empress, he was shocked and felt vaguely uneasy.

He quickly knelt down and saluted Ruyi: "Your humble servant pays respects to the Empress."

"Doctor Jiang, please give the emperor a thorough examination. Come to the side hall and inform me after your examination."

Ruyi slowly stood up with the help of Rong Pei, and did not forget to glance at Yanwan who was kneeling beside her.

"I will take your Highness with me."

Although Yanwan was kneeling with her head down, she noticed Ruyi's movements. With a barely perceptible smile on her face, she quickly stood up and led the way.
