Zhan Yan quickly spoke up, "Your Majesty, I have something important to discuss with you. Since the Imperial Concubine is alright, let's hurry back to the Imperial Study!"
Concubine Zhan looked at him angrily, "Brother, it's not even daybreak yet. What's the important matter that can't be discussed in court? The Emperor has finally come to my Sakura Palace, so let him accompany me!"
Zhan Yan did not answer, but looked at Emperor Sheng An.
Emperor Sheng An soothed her gently, "Government affairs are more important. Your Highness, go back and have a good rest. I'll bring your favorite peach blossom cakes tomorrow!"
Concubine Zhan bit her lip and could only watch them turn and leave.
After she returned to the hall, she smashed all the tea bowls on the table.
She said angrily, "Why is it that even though I'm pregnant, I don't see the emperor showing any joy? What's going on?"
The maid beside her said worriedly, "Your Highness, when I went to report to Eunuch Li, I saw that the Queen's palace was very lively. People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a lot of supplements to protect the fetus!"
Concubine Zhan's eyes flashed, and she clenched her fists tightly.
She murmured in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the bitch is also pregnant? Then my child is not the only one anymore!"
She gritted her teeth and spoke quickly, "Hurry up and send a message to the Concubine Dowager of the Cold Palace. Tell her to investigate the Queen's true situation. If she is really pregnant, she must die!"
"Yes!" The little maid turned and left in a hurry.
At this time, Emperor Sheng An and Zhan Yan had already returned to the imperial study, and both of them had complicated expressions.
After a while, Emperor Sheng An finally gave up. He frowned and said, "Zhan Yan, if you have something to say, please speak up! I can tell from your eyes that you're injured. I just stole a medicinal bath bag from you, right? Why is there such a deep hatred?"
Zhan Yan spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, Wanwan is not here now. Tell me the truth, did you conceive these two children on the same night?"
Emperor Sheng An had just taken a sip of tea when he heard his words and almost subconsciously spat it all out.
He coughed violently while complaining, "Zhan Yan, you're going too far. I'm the emperor, and I have to explain my private affairs to you, too?"
Zhan Yan ordered Li Delu to bring a clean handkerchief and throw it directly to him.
The emperor refused, pointing to his sleeve and saying, "I'll use yours. Take out the one you've stuffed in your sleeve!"
Zhan Yan raised his eyebrows: "How shameless are you?"
"Bang!" The emperor slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Zhan Yan, you are so presumptuous! The whole world belongs to the king, and you are refusing to accept my handkerchief. How can you be so stingy?"
If someone else had seen Emperor Sheng An lose his temper like this, they would have been frightened to the point of kneeling and begging for mercy.
Zhan Yan was not afraid at all and even retorted arrogantly: "This handkerchief of mine was once used by my wife. Do you want to steal it?"
Emperor Sheng An looked embarrassed and said, "Then he won't rob!"
He paused, rubbing his temples vigorously, and said, "This is quite a coincidence. The Empress and the Imperial Concubine became pregnant at the same time. I went to the Sakura Palace on the fifteenth day of last month!"
Zhan Yan's heart sank. Wasn't the fifteenth of last month the day when Concubine Zhan secretly left the palace and went to Prince Zhongyong's mansion?
What reason did Madam Zhan use to make King Zhongyong give up on dealing with Zhan Yu?
Why does Concubine Zhan have to come forward?
Seeing his complicated expression, Emperor Sheng An asked in surprise: "Zhan Yan, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Zhan Yan was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, it's not easy for the Queen to get pregnant. You must first announce to the public that she is not pregnant. You must protect her well to prevent her from being persecuted by those with ulterior motives!"
Emperor Sheng An immediately smiled, he knew that Zhan Yan was the one who truly protected him.
He nodded quickly: "I will personally inspect her palace thoroughly, and will not hide any danger. As for your sister, I will also send more people to protect her!"
Zhan Yan interrupted without hesitation: "She doesn't need it. Her status is far less precious than the Queen's. The Emperor can spread the news of her pregnancy!"
Emperor Sheng An was so moved that Zhan Yan actually let Concubine Zhan be a living target?
That's his own sister!
He is truly his brother, willing to give up so much for him!
He burst into tears of gratitude, and said with sore eyes: "Zhan Yan, I have a brother like you in this life, it is really God's blessing!"
Zhan Yan said with a complicated expression: "Sharing your worries is my humble duty!"
He thought to himself that even though Concubine Zhan was his biological sister, she should not betray the emperor and become a tool for King Zhongyong to seize the throne.
He must break this situation and throw King Zhongyong into the abyss completely, leaving him no chance of recovery.
As for Concubine Zhan, she had been completely opposed to him since the moment she stepped into Prince Zhongyong's palace.
He will not show mercy to anyone who hurts Wanwan or betrays the emperor!
He quickly returned to the side hall and asked Lin Yiwan with a serious expression, "Wanwan, is there a drug in this world that can fake a pregnancy pulse?"
As smart as Lin Yiwan was, she understood his concerns instantly.
She subconsciously asked, "Do you want to help the Queen?"
Zhan Yan nodded: "The Queen's pregnancy cannot be concealed. Concubine He will definitely make plans for her, so we have to plan ahead!"
Lin Yiwan said calmly: "But your sister is also pregnant, do you want to protect her too?"
Zhan Yan smiled bitterly and couldn't help but rub her little head with his hand: "You are testing your husband again!"
She raised an eyebrow: "I'm not testing you, I'm just curious about your attitude towards her pregnancy!"
He interrupted without hesitation: "There is no doubt about it. She will not be able to give birth to this child because the child is not the emperor's at all!"
Lin Yiwan's eyes suddenly widened. Oh my god, there was such a shocking secret? How could she not know?
Could it be that Concubine Zhan is planting grassland on the emperor's head?
She is so brave!
She hurriedly grabbed Zhan Yan's sleeve and said, "Tell me quickly what's going on. Whose child is Concubine Zhan pregnant with?"
Zhan Yan did not hide anything and told the news that Concubine Zhan had left the palace in the middle of the night and went to Prince Zhongyong's mansion.
Lin Yiwan's face was full of excitement. Even after being reborn, this event happened again. The only difference was that she was changed from an ordinary concubine to Concubine Zhan.
She narrowed her eyes and said, "Your sister is very brave. It seems that we have wronged the emperor, thinking that he planted two fields in one night!"
Zhan Yan pressed his forehead helplessly. Her metaphor was so vivid that it was impossible to refute it.
Lin Yiwan quickly spoke up, "Don't worry, the Queen's pregnancy is under my care. If anyone dares to harm her, I'll make sure they're back to shooting themselves in the foot!"
The next day, she heard that the queen was sent to the cold palace by Concubine He.
Her eyes widened in shock. This old woman was really well-informed. How could she take action so quickly?
She rushed to the cold palace without stopping, but was stopped by the old maids who were surrounding her outside.
She lowered her eyes and spoke respectfully, "Madam Hou, the Dowager Queen has instructed that no outsiders are allowed to enter the cold palace without permission!"
