Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table
Chapter 73 Defense
"Sister, just tie up the Emperor. The Empress and Concubine Jia are both pregnant at the same time. It's like two tigers fighting each other. We should just sit quietly on the side and watch the show."
Yan Wan put down a child and pretended not to notice her gaze.
She naturally knew what Bai Ruiji was thinking, but the two of them were tied together now, and even if she wanted to go their separate ways, it was too late.
Having given birth to two princes, Jin Yuyan naturally sensed something was wrong early on. She remained silent until the baby was firmly seated at three months, then she felt relieved to intervene.
She passed the news on with great anticipation, hoping that the emperor would come to see her for the sake of her unborn prince.
She waited and waited, but what she finally got was a face that made her extremely disgusted.
"Why is it you? Where's the emperor? I want to see the emperor! Is it you? Is it you, a bitch, who blocked the message I delivered?"
The person who came was Yan Wan, who walked in slowly, supported by Chun Chan. This was the first time she had stood in this place again after so many years. The furnishings of Qixiang Palace were exactly the same as they were back then, but for some reason, it had a more dilapidated look.
Jin Yuyan couldn't believe it. For a moment, she didn't think that the emperor was cold-hearted. She just thought that she had blocked the news.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. Who else could it be except me?"
As Yan Wan approached, Jin Yuyan clutched her belly tightly, fearing the woman in front of her would harm the baby in her belly. This was her only bargaining chip to escape the predicament, and she couldn't let it be destroyed so easily.
During these two months, the palace had only two old maids to serve. Jin Yuyan would lose her temper and not allow anyone to come in to see her laughing, so the dust on the table was really deep.
Yan Wan waved her hand, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and said disdainfully, "Greetings to Imperial Concubine Jia. The Empress has been pregnant for over two months. The Emperor is so obsessed with your baby that he naturally can't take care of you. Knowing you were pregnant, the Emperor lifted your confinement and sent someone to serve you again. Imperial Concubine, you must remember this lesson and don't make the same mistake again."
She dressed in a deliberately luxurious manner, wearing a water-red Jiangnan tribute silk, embroidered with vivid patterns using Suzhou embroidery techniques. The budding flowers, paired with the vibrant red Manchu dress, accentuated her spirited demeanor, a stark contrast to the young palace maiden who had been bullied day and night.
It seems that she is many times more glorious than Jin Yuyan is now.
Seeing her so smug, Jin Yuyan was furious and threw a pillow at her. "Get lost! You're making fun of me! You can't even lay an egg, let alone get pregnant, yet you're mocking me. You'd better pray that I don't make a comeback, or I'll be the first one to deal with you! I shouldn't have kept you, such a nuisance, around in the first place!"
"Then I will wait and see. Although I don't know whether the Empress's baby is a boy or a girl, if it is a prince, he will be the Emperor's only legitimate son. In front of a legitimate son, even if you have a son, the Fourth Prince, how can he be a match for him? I will wait and see whether you can make a comeback."
She hinted at something, and after saying that, Yan Wan smiled and turned away, leaving her standing there in a daze.
Jin Yuyan thought that everything would be fine with this pregnancy, but she didn't expect that the Queen would also be pregnant. She and Ruyi had always been at odds, and she thought that she could rest easy with this pregnancy, but she didn't expect that Ruyi would interfere.
If she gave birth to a legitimate son and secured the position of Empress, would she ever have a chance to come forward?
No! She absolutely cannot let this child be born safely, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, she cannot give birth to it!
She would never allow anyone to get close to them and their son, absolutely not!
Although the Queen did not ask about the affairs of the six palaces, she still needed to know that Jin Yuyan was released from confinement because of her pregnancy. It made no sense for her to go to Qixiang Palace but not Yiku Palace. As soon as Yan Wan left Qixiang Palace, she went to Yiku Palace.
Even if the Queen tolerated the deer blood wine incident, Hai Lan, the mad dog, would not let her go. She had to let them fight and temporarily forget about Wei Yanwan.
"Aunt Rong Pei, I have something to report to the Empress. Please let me know on your behalf."
Yan Wan was standing at the gate of Yiku Palace. Before she entered the courtyard, she was stopped by Rong Pei. She did not get angry and conveyed her purpose with a smile.
Ever since the queen became pregnant, Rong Pei has been very vigilant. No matter what comes into the Yikun Palace, it must be approved by her, even the concubines are no exception.
"Empress Ling Fei, please go back! The Empress has gone to bed. If you have anything to say, please come back another day!" Rong Pei stood in front of her. It had only been a month since the deer blood wine incident. She had suffered a lot, so naturally she didn't have a good face for her.
Yan Wan didn't care about her attitude and just smiled and said, "In that case, I won't disturb the Empress's rest. I just want to tell the Empress that the Empress of Qixiang Palace has been pregnant for more than three months. The Emperor has lifted her house arrest and assigned someone else to serve her. Originally, the Emperor asked me to handle this matter, but since the Empress is the master of the six palaces, it is natural for her to report the pregnancy. Since the Empress is not convenient to see guests, I will trouble Aunt Rongpei to report it on her behalf. I have important matters to attend to, so I will go back first."
She left after she finished speaking, as if she really just had good intentions and came here specifically to tell you about this matter.
Ruyi was not taking a nap as Rong Pei said. She was embroidering a baby's bellyband with Hai Lan, and they could hear everything going on outside clearly.
"This Concubine Jia is so lucky. She allowed her subordinates to harm concubines, but she was only confined to her house for two months. She was released as soon as she got pregnant." Hai Lan couldn't help but sigh. Same person but different fate. Why is Concubine Jia so lucky?
Ruyi just smiled when she heard this. She watched Hailan embroidering and smiled slightly, "She is a very lucky person. Not only did she give birth to the first prince since the emperor ascended the throne, but she has also been pregnant many times. If she continues to give birth to a little prince, then she will be truly talented."
"She is a thoughtful person. My sister and she are getting married at the same time, so people will inevitably compare us. We should be more wary of Concubine Jia than Concubine Ling."
Hai Lan knew the reason behind Empress Xiaoxian's death very clearly.
Concubine Jia was involved in this. Compared with Concubine Ling, who tried hard to win favor by making small moves, Concubine Jia, who was vicious and ruthless in her actions, should be more guarded against.
Even though she knew that Concubine Ling had come to tell her with bad intentions, she still had to take the trouble to guard against Jin Yuyan.
"I understand. Don't worry, I've already thought of a plan. It's hard enough taking care of Yongqi, so you don't have to worry about this for me."
Ruyi already had a plan in mind and was full of confidence. She gave her a reassuring look, indicating that she should not worry.
"Sister, your child is my child. No matter how tired you are, it's worth it. Sister, just focus on taking care of your pregnancy. Leave the rest to me..."
