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

"How do you want me to repay you for this favor?"

Bai Ruiji understood the threat in her words. She knew that nothing comes for free in this world, and Yan Wan's help had a price tag attached to it.

The two of them had already been tied together and held each other's leverage. If he betrayed her, it would be difficult for him to survive.

Compared to what she did, what Yan Wan did seemed insignificant.

Bai Ruiji was able to successfully take revenge and gain many benefits, all of which were inseparable from Yan Wan, so naturally she had to pay a corresponding price.

Yan Wan shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "Sister, why are you so anxious? Right now, it's not time for me to ask you for this favor. Let's just wait and see that the child in Jin's belly is born safely. I think it's most likely a prince, which will provide a hope for your future. Don't worry, the reward I want is not something very expensive. When the time comes, you will know. You can afford it."

After all, Tu Feng had already done it, so what else could be difficult for her, Bai Ruiji? She smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes as she looked at Bai Ruiji.

I don’t know if it was because the charcoal fire in the palace was burning hot enough or for something else, but when Bai Ruiji came out of Yongshou Palace, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her back.

She turned around and looked at the plaque of Yongshou Palace, feeling a deep sense of unease.

Is it really true that what Wei Yanwan wants is just the position of queen?

In March of the following year, as Yan Wan said, Jin Yuyan really gave birth to a prince, and took the baby to Concubine Mei to be raised by her as soon as he was born.

Not long after, Ruyi gave birth to the twelfth prince in April. Unlike the tenth and eleventh princes who were not given names at birth, the emperor attached great importance to the queen's pregnancy. Therefore, when the twelfth prince was born, the emperor personally named him Yongqi.

As soon as this name came out, the wind direction in the palace changed again, and Yan Wan also tactfully handed over the power to assist in managing the six palaces.

The emperor was not heartless and ungrateful. He allowed Jin Yuyan to complete her confinement before withdrawing the servants from Qixiang Palace.

This was the first time in the past six months that Yan Wan stepped into the gate of Qixiang Palace.

It's time to come and see the fruits of her victory for herself.

Unlike the magnificent appearance in the past when she was favored and proud, the Qixiang Palace now looks decadent, with dead leaves covering the ground and weeds growing everywhere in the courtyard, making it look very desolate and creepy.

There was a faint smell of decay in the air, just like Jin Yuyan now. The once beautiful flower was rotting silently here.

"Jin Yuyan, ah, Jin Yuyan, it seems so... pitiful that you have fallen to this state."

Yanwan gently covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and with the support of Chunchan Lancui, she slowly walked into the inner hall.

"It was you who did it."

In the past six months, Jin Yuyan had already figured it out. The fact that Yue'er thought of keeping the letters between her and Yu Shi early on must be due to someone behind the scenes.

After Li Xin left, the palace maids were dismissed during her house arrest, which provided a lot of room for action.

She, Ruyi, is a fool. She thinks she is noble and would never bother to do such a thing.

Then, the only one who would do something tricky is Wei Yanwan in front of him.

Just before she was released from the ban, she obtained the power to assist in the management of the six palaces, which made it easier for her to place people around her and win people's hearts.

She had guessed early on that she would not trust the newly transferred people, so she secretly instigated the rebellion of her personal maid Yue'er and Caiyun, who had served her before.

He deliberately left evidence when bribing Xiao Shunzi, so that the emperor could trace the cause and find out that he was the real murderer.

She had deliberately come to Qixiang Palace that day to provoke him, in order to arouse his jealousy and make him take action against the dragon fetus in the Queen's belly. By getting rid of him, he would hurt the Queen and gain the Emperor's mercy, killing three birds with one stone.

From the moment he poisoned Li Xin to the moment she used deer blood wine to seize the power to assist in managing the six palaces, it was not aimed at the Queen from the beginning, but at him.

What a good plan!

Such a sophisticated plan would make even the once vicious and cruel Jin Yuyan feel inferior.

She regretted it so much that she didn't leave Qixiang Palace at the beginning, giving her the opportunity to grow up and bite her back in the end.

Jin Yuyan underestimated her opponent and was defeated completely.

"It seems that you are not that stupid, but it is too late to guess it now, Jin Yuyan, you can't make a comeback."

Yanwan leaned lazily on the chair that Chunchan had wiped clean and brought over, looking down at her in the same condescending manner as Jin Yuyan did in Qixiang Palace in the past.

This posture is exactly the same as the one Jin Yuyan had when she was sitting at the top and said, "You are only fit to serve my feet."

But now the two of them have switched positions, and she, Jin Yuyan, has completely become the inferior.

The emperor completely despised her, and Yu avoided her as much as possible. At this moment, Jin Yuyan was a complete abandoned child.

She was isolated and helpless in this deep palace, with no chance of turning her life around.

"What a brilliant plan! Should I call you Empress Lingfei, Wei Yanwan, or... Ying'er? Now that you hold such a high position, surely you haven't forgotten how you used to kneel down beneath me, holding a candlestick every night, to wash my feet?"

"You!" Lan Cui lost her temper when she heard this and pretended to ask someone to teach her a lesson.

"Don't be anxious. She's just a lost dog and a defeated general. Let her bark for a while longer." Yan Wan said casually as she looked at the gold wire armor inlaid with rubies that the emperor had just given her as a reward.

She was no longer the bullied Wei Yanwan. How could he provoke her with just a few words? What a joke. It wasn't until this moment, watching the once high-and-mighty people now scurrying around like ants, that she truly realized the benefits of power.

Look! Without power, the cries of the weak are nothing but a joke in the eyes of the upper class. Others will only regard you as a clown, and they will think that it is a waste of time to even look at you.

After feeling a brief moment of pleasure, Yanwan suddenly felt bored.

In the past, the spirited Jin Yuyan might have been worthy of her interest and attention. But now, looking at her haggard appearance and her complete lack of fighting spirit, she felt that focusing her energy on her was a waste of time.

"Seeing me in such a state of despair, are you feeling proud? In the past few years, I'm sure you've been obsessed with the bullying you suffered during those five years. Come on! Kill me if you can. Kill me, and you'll have complete revenge."

Seeing her calm appearance, Jin Yuyan suddenly became irritable and sat on the bed like a madman, shouting with a ferocious face.

She tried to provoke Yan Wan, asking for death or for a comeback.

Jin Yuyan didn't believe that the emperor would really let her fend for herself, so she wanted to take a gamble.

"Jin Yuyan, ah Jin Yuyan, you have spent your whole life for the Yu family, for that man, working diligently and treading on thin ice in the palace, but you have been completely abandoned by them."
