The male lead went insane after the female supporting character gave birth to the main villain'

Zhang Shuyi and Chen Yiyue were both shocked and pale. They suppressed the burning jealousy in their hearts and answered Qin Yan in unison, "Your Majesty, we understand."

Su Yan tilted her head to the side, looking at his profile, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with affection.

Su Zhan, who was standing behind her and Qin Yan, was also very pleased!

Zhang Shuyi was the granddaughter of his mentor and the emperor, but he really disliked her.

Because she used a hunger strike to force her mentor to beg the emperor to let her enter the palace, her mentor's reputation was greatly affected.

Now they're inexplicably targeting his Ayan again. If it weren't for the fact that she's his mentor's granddaughter and is now nominally His Majesty's woman, he would have loved to give her a good dressing down!

And that Consort Yi, she's nothing more than a tool His Majesty uses to get revenge on that harlot Chen Yiyue, yet he actually wants his son Ayan to kneel and pay respects to her.

She doesn't even consider whether she's worthy!

Oh, he seems to remember that the Chen family didn't tell Consort Yi about Chen Yiyue's dirty deeds.

Consort Yi always believed that Chen Yiyue was truly raped by Prince Changsheng and committed suicide because she could not bear the humiliation.

Therefore, she felt that even if His Majesty wanted to compensate the Chen family, he wouldn't do anything to her.

I really don't know whether to call the Chen family stupid or Consort Yi stupid.

If the Chen family doesn't tell Consort Yi the truth, aren't they afraid that she might become reckless and bring disaster to the Chen family by taking advantage of His Majesty's potential wrongdoing?

And then there's Consort Yi. She knew perfectly well that Chen Yiyue had had ambiguous relationships with many men before marriage. How could she possibly commit suicide because she couldn't bear the humiliation of being forced by Prince Changsheng?

Su Zhan shook his head inwardly and turned his gaze to Qin Yan.

He sighed: "Fortunately, even after eight years, His Majesty still treats Ayan like a younger sister and has given those two women a good slap in the face for Ayan!"

These bright red things and the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin are nothing but inanimate objects. Ah Yan gave up the antidote and left alone for his and His Majesty's sake.

Aren't their lives more important than these things?

In Su Zhan's eyes, his daughter Ayan deserved the best things in the world. He felt that His Majesty shared his thoughts, which was why he had people prepare these things for Ayan.

Feeling both delighted and shy at being protected by Qin Yan, Su Yan whispered to him, "Your Highness, why are you so kind to A-Yan?"

Qin Yan replied with a smile, "I'm your elder brother, who else would I be nice to if not you?"

The color in her starry eyes disappeared, and Su Yan felt disappointed. She broke free from Qin Yan's grasp, took two steps back, and then quickly walked to Su Zhan's side, tugging at his sleeve and whispering, "Brother, I feel a little dizzy. I want to find a place to rest."

"You're dizzy? Brother, I'll ask His Majesty to send an imperial physician to take a look at you!" Su Zhan was very nervous. He turned to Qin Yan and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Ayan is a little dizzy. Could you please send an imperial physician to examine her?"

Qin Yan was puzzled by her sudden dejection, but upon hearing Su Zhan's words, he immediately put aside his confusion and sent someone to summon all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to the rear hall of the Taiji Hall.

After giving the order, Qin Yan strode over to Su Yan's side, intending to help her, but she avoided him.

Qin Yan stood there, somewhat at a loss.

Did Ayan dislike him because he deliberately ignored her before?

But just now in the carriage, when he held her and comforted her to stop crying, she didn't immediately push him away.

Did he do something to upset him just now?

"Your Majesty?" Chen Yilin and Zhang Shuyi both saw the woman avoid Qin Yan's help, and they became even more jealous of her, but also somewhat gloating.

His Majesty is not one to read people's faces. If that woman dares to refuse His Majesty, she will surely be disliked by him.

The two of them were having a good time.

Qin Yan then realized that it was those two who forced Su Yan to bow to them and even tried to force her to take off her clothes and jewelry.

He attributed Su Yan's anger to the two women, walked past them to the Taiji Hall, and said to the chief eunuch behind him, "Consort Xian, Consort Yi has angered the Emperor. She is to be confined to her quarters for three months, starting tomorrow morning!"

Zhang Shuyi and Chen Yilin hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, we were wrong, please rescind your order."

Unfortunately, Qin Yan had already entered the Taiji Hall, and the head eunuch, along with two junior eunuchs, approached them and asked them to leave.

.........

After the imperial physician examined Su Yan, he prescribed a medicine to nourish her body, making it easier for her to get the medicine and prepare it.

Seeing that Su Yan wanted to sleep, Su Zhan and Qin Yan had no choice but to go to the main hall of Taiji Palace to meet with the officials and find out what had happened during the two months he was away.

At the end of Wei Shi (around 3 PM), Su Yan was taken to his private hot spring by a palace maid arranged by Qin Yan, where he soaked for nearly 30 minutes.

After the palace maids dried her hair and helped her dress and do her makeup, Su Yan was taken to the main hall of the Taiji Palace by Qin Yan and Su Zhan.

After the eunuch announced the names in a loud voice, everyone in the hall rose from their seats and knelt down in the aisle to pay their respects.

Su Zhan led Su Yan to the side, not accepting the greetings with Qin Yan.

He didn't care. As a prince of the first rank, he could accept the kneeling salutations from other ministers and nobles, except for those from other princes of the first rank and concubines in the harem. At most, he would be impeached by the censor for being arrogant and receive some minor reprimand.

But his wife, Ayan, couldn't accept it. She had no official rank, and if she accepted these officials' kneeling and bowing, she wouldn't even have to wait until tomorrow. Once these officials looked up and saw her, they would probably drown her in their spittle.

After the ceremony, Qin Yan walked to the main seat and sat down. To her left and behind was Consort Xian, Zhang Shuyi, and to her right and behind was Consort Yi, Chen Yilin.

The two of them were punished by Qin Yan this morning with a three-month confinement, which will take effect tomorrow morning. Now they dare not cause any more trouble for Su Yan and obediently sit in their seats with perfect smiles.

At the head of the banquet, Qin Yan sat to the left of Qin Yang and to the right of Su Zhan. Su Yan was led by Su Zhan to a seat for relatives and friends near the very back.

Su Zhan's three children are all different ages. The oldest is six, the middle one is four, and the youngest is two.

The two youngest children were too young to understand anything, so Princess Zhan couldn't take care of them all by herself. She only brought her eldest son with her, leaving her youngest son and daughter in the mansion to be cared for by a wet nurse.

Su Zhan had his eldest son sit between him and Princess Zhan, and gave the seat originally intended for his eldest son to Su Yan.

It was too far back there, and Qin Yan couldn't see her face clearly. He wanted to arrange for her to sit below Su Zhan, but seeing so many officials there, he gave up the idea.

Ayan currently has no official rank, and rashly placing her above those court officials would likely incur her hatred.

Tomorrow morning at court, he will issue an imperial edict, and Ayan will be a princess from now on. At future palace banquets, she can sit at the very front.

Su Yan hadn't eaten dinner, and now she was feeling hungry.

It's early autumn now, not yet cold, so these imperial dishes were still warm when they were served.

Perhaps Qin Yan had instructed that the meals served to her be different from those served to the others.

Each dish is extremely complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, requiring careful preparation to make.

Wearing a veil was inconvenient, so Su Yan took it off and ate her meal quietly.

Yes, they all taste great.

She was focused on her meal and didn't notice that a man to her left was staring at her profile in a daze.

He didn't come to his senses until the wine glass in his hand fell onto the table with a sound.

Su Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw the wine cup on his table. Her eyes flashed, and she waved to the palace maid behind her.

"Bring me a bottle of wine, fruit wine will do." She had never drunk alcohol since coming into this world, so she didn't know how much she could drink.

If you have a low alcohol tolerance and get too drunk, it will be difficult to act...
