Yin Yue quickly said, "We have to find a way to eliminate it quickly. Your brother has lost a lot of weight these past few days. I can't let him go hungry again!"
Lin Yiwan turned and went out, telling the maid to boil eggs. After a moment, she returned and said, "Sister-in-law, when you feel better, let's go to the palace to visit the Queen."
Yin Yue looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong with the Queen?"
Lin Yiwan whispered, "Aren't you still engaged to the Emperor? You have to explain this to her clearly!"
Yin Yue spoke subconsciously: "Your brother and I have already had a child, so the engagement must have been automatically cancelled. She shouldn't mind this, right?"
After she finished speaking, she came to her senses. The queen has always been a sensitive person, and she will definitely think too much.
She could no longer contain herself. She quickly lifted the quilt and said, "Let's go to the palace now. I'll make it clear to her that I have never had any intention of entering the palace. Besides, I'm already a minister's wife. If the emperor marries me, wouldn't that be the biggest scandal in the Sheng Dynasty?"
Lin Yiwan held her hand and said, "Don't. You haven't even finished your confinement period yet, and you've just been severely injured. How can you withstand even the slightest bit of hardship?"
Yin Yue said, "Then I can't just stand by and watch her doubt the Fang family. If she gets too obsessed with it and causes trouble again, it will be terrible!"
Lin Yiwan felt that Yin Yue's worries were not unreasonable. The Queen was the type who would hide things very deeply when she had something on her mind. If she could not get relief, the consequences would be very serious.
However, Yin Yue’s physical condition was not suitable for entering the palace at the moment, so she had to take Old Madam Yin with her.
After the two of them had discussed it, they went to explain the situation to Old Lady Yin and asked her to go to the palace to meet the Queen.
When the Queen heard that Old Madam Yin had entered the palace, her heart, which was already in turmoil, was no longer at peace.
She hurried to the Imperial Study to find Emperor Sheng An and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Yin and Wan Wan are coming to the palace to pay their respects. Do you have anything else to say?"
Emperor Sheng An had great respect for Old Madam Yin. He pondered for a moment and then said, "It must have been difficult for the old lady to guard the forbidden land's wealth for so many years. Let's reward her with some good things as a token of our appreciation!"
The Queen also understood this, and she spoke cautiously, "Of course I will reward you. As for your engagement with Yin Yue, what are your plans? If she brings it up, how should I respond?"
Emperor Sheng An looked at her in shock. "Empress? What do you mean? Yin Yue is now a wife of the Fang family. Didn't I tell you clearly before that the engagement is annulled? Why do you still bring it up?"
The Queen explained anxiously, "Your Majesty, I'm just worried that if the Yin family still has ideas, what will we do? After all, they have handed over all the forbidden land's wealth to the national treasury, and Yin Yue holds a very high status in the hearts of the people!"
Emperor Sheng An interrupted angrily, "No matter how important her status is in the hearts of the people, it will only bring glory to the Fang family. What does it have to do with you or me? Or do you think her reputation surpasses yours and want to give her the throne of empress?"
At this moment, his face was full of anger. He simply couldn't understand why the queen kept pestering Yin Yue.
He had clearly stated that the marriage contract was made by the late emperor and his people, and it was no longer valid now.
But she kept testing him in various ways, which really broke his heart.
Doesn't she understand that for her, his entire harem is meaningless, and she is still jealous for a minister's wife!
He was very disappointed!
When the queen heard this, her whole body shook violently.
After a moment's silence, she trembled and said, "If the emperor really has such an idea, then I can give way to Yin Yue and let her live in the East Palace as the queen!"
Emperor Sheng An couldn't help but laugh in anger: "Empress, you are so generous. You don't like the position of Empress I gave you, so you gave it to Yin Yue. Then why don't you give me up as well? And our two children, you can let them respectfully call someone else "Empress Mother" in the future!"
The Queen's expression suddenly changed. She knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. I gave birth to these two children at my utmost. I can give in to anything except them!"
Emperor Sheng An stared at her in a daze, and after a moment he spoke bitterly, "You gave birth to this child at your utmost effort, but I am the only one you can give away at will. Queen, you have disappointed me so much, please step down!"
After he finished speaking, he no longer paid any attention to the queen.
The queen tried her best to hold back her tears, turned around and left quickly.
When she followed her personal nanny into the imperial garden, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke down crying.
The old nanny quickly comforted her, "Your Majesty, please don't cry. You still have guests to meet later. If your eyes are swollen, you can't let others notice!"
The Queen sobbed sadly, "Mammy, do you think I did anything wrong? It was always that engagement that came first. Yin Yue's reputation is so high now that she even surpasses mine among the people. How can I let it go?"
The old lady sighed helplessly, but she didn't dare to express any opinion.
Even if there is no one in the imperial garden, there might be the emperor's spies there?
She just comforted him: "Your Majesty, take care of yourself. If anything happens to you, what will happen to the two little princes?"
Her sons were the queen's weak spot, and after hearing these words, she calmed down.
She nodded, took out a handkerchief, wiped her face and said, "Put some makeup on me to hide my tears. Wanwan has very sharp eyes, I can't let her see that I've been crying!"
"Yes!" The old nanny quickly asked the maids to come forward and get busy.
At this time, Lin Yiwan had already brought Old Madam Yin to the Weiyang Palace and was arranged to meet the emperor in the Plum Garden Corridor.
The graceful and elegant queen came over and smiled gracefully the moment she saw Lin Yiwan. "Wanwan, I'm finally meeting you. This trip to Shicheng must have been very tiring for you, right?"
Lin Yiwan bowed according to the etiquette: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your concern. Although there were some setbacks, fortunately, we were able to overcome the danger and the result was good!"
The Queen quickly reached out and helped her up, and then Old Lady Yin prepared to pay her respects. She said respectfully, "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. I wish Her Majesty good health and good health!"
The Queen immediately supported her and said, "Madam Yin, please don't bow again. This is Weiyang Palace. There's no need to be bound by those rules!"
Madam Yin said kindly, "The Queen is considerate of my age and has not asked me to perform the formalities. I am very grateful, but I must be self-aware. This is my first time in the palace, so I should show you respect!"
She gently broke free from the queen's hand, knelt on the ground and kowtowed solemnly.
The queen helped her up again and welcomed her into the palace.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before getting down to business.
Old Madam Yin spoke first, "Originally, it was my granddaughter who should have come to the palace to pay her respects to the Empress, but her health was severely damaged during her trip to Stone City. Fortunately, Wanwan's medical skills were superb and she was able to save her life. Now she is recuperating, so I will take her place and explain the engagement to the Empress!"
