The imperial kitchen? It was once again the territory of the Wuya clan.

The emperor rubbed his brows and asked, "What's the matter, Wanpin?"

"It's rumored among the palace ladies that Wanpin is meddling in state affairs and even coveting the title of Empress Dowager and the titles of Consort Dowager. She's overstepping her authority..."

"It's rare for me to have someone I can talk to. They are so outrageous!" The emperor looked unhappy and his tone was full of hostility.

Jiang Ruyin hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I, a humble servant, cannot possibly understand the difficulties faced by an emperor."

Seeing Jiang Ruyin's caring face, the emperor sighed and suddenly felt the benefits of Concubine Hua.

"I'll consider what you said. Is there anything else?"

Jiang Ruyin took a few steps back and bowed again, "I'll take my leave."

After taking a few steps, Jiang Ruyin's eyes went dark and she fell down softly.

"The imperial physician! The imperial physician!"

The emperor's roar frightened Su Peisheng. Xiao Xiazi stepped forward and said, "Master, I'll go!" Then he trotted out.

Su Peisheng was very satisfied, "You have quite a good eye."

"Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to invite him!"

......

Chen Xun took the pulse, and the words Xiao Xiazi had said on the way here were still ringing in his ears:

"Empress Fang has resigned from her palace duties, but the Emperor is quite fond of Concubine Wan."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Fang has been pregnant for over a month. However, pregnancy is not a good time for her. She is also overworked and restless, feeling depressed. That's why she fainted."

The emperor was stunned, then ecstatic.

Four years later, Jiang Ruyin became pregnant again.

Then, the emperor hesitated for a moment, "I remember..."

Chen Xun continued, "Your Majesty is injured, so it is not easy for her to get pregnant, but it is not completely impossible. Your Majesty's body is not conducive to pregnancy, I am afraid that this child will be difficult to give birth to." After saying this, he kowtowed deeply and waited for the emperor to speak.

The emperor said nothing and slumped down on the couch weakly.

Jiang Ruyin slept very soundly, and her slightly sharp beauty was greatly dispersed.

The emperor's eyes were dazed for a moment.

After a long while, the emperor's hoarse voice sounded, "Fang Fei's health is the most important thing."

Xiao Xiazi, who was eavesdropping under the bright window in the corner, smiled cunningly: Master, master, you have been smart for most of your life, but in the end you were bewitched by a woman from the same hometown and helped the wrong person.

That night, Jiang Ruyin woke up slowly, and what came into her eyes was the emperor curled up on the couch, with memorials piled around him.

"Yin'er, you're awake." The emperor's heart sank, he smiled, and came over to hold Jiang Ruyin in his arms.

"Your Majesty? Your humble servant?" Jiang Ruyin showed an appropriately surprised expression.

"Yin'er, do you know how happy I was when I found out you were pregnant?" The emperor hugged Jiang Ruyin tightly and rested his head on her shoulder.

Jiang Ruyin couldn't see his expression clearly, she could only reveal a look of joy, and immediately she became incoherent: "I am pregnant? Your Majesty, this, wuwu..."

"what happened?"

Jiang Ruyin shook the emperor's hand and sobbed, "Your Majesty has never treated me badly, I..."

"Yin'er, you forgot again. You and I are husband and wife. Call me Silang." The emperor buried his head in her neck and said sullenly.

"Yes... I always felt guilty about Silang's preference for me, but now I finally feel relieved." Jiang Ruyin turned around with peace of mind and took the emperor into her arms.

The two of them were affectionate for a long time.

The emperor asked, "Why is Yin'er so depressed?"

Jiang Ruyin hesitated, her hands unconsciously kneading the emperor's fingers. "I was worried about disappointing the emperor's expectations, and I was also afraid that I would fail to maintain harmony in the harem and damage the emperor's reputation." She laughed at herself, "In the end, I still didn't do anything well."

The emperor thought a lot, but right now, the people in front of him are the most important. "I have seen everything you have done to maintain harmony in the harem. The unrest in the palace is ultimately due to my indulgence."

The emperor summoned Su Peisheng and Xia Qie, and learned about the rumors in the palace.

Zhen Huan's intelligence also meant she was arrogant and unruly. While it's said that those who achieve success aren't bound by sentimental relationships, Zhen Huan was a woman, a member of the imperial harem, and the mother of all the princes and princesses. How could she use a child as bait? Ultimately, it was her own indulgence that caused the Empress Dowager to vent her anger on Yin'er.

The emperor sighed deeply, his thoughts in a tizzy.

the next morning,

The emperor ordered Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan to take charge of palace affairs. Jiang Ruyin successfully escaped before the Nian family was overthrown due to her pregnancy.

Jiang Ruyin lay on the beauty couch, leisurely eating the winter tribute pear.

Chen Xun said respectfully, "The pills are ready. As long as Your Majesty wishes, we can create the symptoms of bleeding and miscarriage at any time."

Jiang Ruyin nodded in satisfaction. "I heard your mother has a cough. Bring some pears back and make some snow pear soup. It will warm your heart even in winter."

Thinking of his mother, Chen Xun smiled more sincerely.

When leaving Yongshou Palace, Chen Xun still felt comfortable. Jiang Ruyin was becoming more and more difficult to understand, but so what? No woman in the harem could surpass her. He just had to obey her orders.

"Su Peisheng is really old. He can't understand things that Xiao Xiazi can see clearly." Suo Chun smiled secretly while pinching Jiang Ruyin's leg.

"However, since the Emperor knows that Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan are not on good terms, he still ordered them to share the throne. I don't understand. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Fu Qiu poked Suo Chun on the back of the head and said, "Since I have been following the Majesty, I have gained quite a lot of insights."

Jiang Ruyin gave her a look, and after a moment's thought, she said, "No one person in the harem is absolutely dominant. If the Empress is powerful, with the Empress Dowager's connections, the Emperor will allow others to share power. If someone dominates alone, the Empress Dowager will not agree, and the other lords who haven't received power will also be jealous. Hua Fei has the Nian family, and if she takes charge of the palace affairs, she will definitely put pressure on others. With Concubine Duan around, she attracts a lot of attention from Hua Fei. Also, I speculate: Concubine Wan recently interfered in government affairs. The Empress Dowager knew it was Concubine Wan's fault, but she still suppressed the Empress because the Empress has a prince and controls the affairs of the six palaces."

Jiang Ruyin nodded.

Suo Chun said, "I have another idea. I heard that it was Concubine Duan who caused Concubine Hua to have a miscarriage. Even though she committed such a crime to murder the heir, the Emperor still made her a concubine. Now he is supporting Concubine Duan to fight against Concubine Hua. Could it be..."

Jiang Ruyin was surprised at Suochun's growth. She gave her an admiring look and said seriously, "No matter what you think, this is not my world yet. Just keep it in your heart."

Suochun didn't care, she was just happy because of Jiang Ruyin's praise.

"By the way, the Emperor has asked Wanpin's mother and sister to come to the palace to see her."

Jiang Ruyin chuckled, "Only when someone hesitates to speak will others be interested. If someone speaks proactively, it will only backfire if someone with a deep mind hears. Only when someone actively listens to others will they take it to heart."

When God wants to kill someone, he will first make him crazy.

This was true for the Nian family, whom the emperor had intentionally planned for, and also for Zhen Huan, whom the emperor had no intention of planning for.
