Su Qianyan felt bad after being rebuked by Yan Qing, but given her rank, she didn't dare to say anything more.

After returning to the palace, Su Qianyan threw another tantrum. How could Bai Yusheng have such good luck, getting a prince and being promoted in rank for no reason?

And Yan Qing... what was she really up to by deliberately helping Bai Yusheng today? And Nan Zhiyun, she should have been out of favor, so why is she now the Empress? She even cleaned up the harem and dismissed so many people.

"Baolin, calm down. His Majesty is just indulging in a passing fancy. This time, His Majesty dismissed so many concubines, but he still kept Baolin. It's clear that His Majesty still cares about you, Baolin." A palace maid poured her a cup of water.

"Yes, His Majesty treats me differently. One day I will become the most honored woman. One day I will make His Majesty only have eyes for me!" Su Qianyan seemed to be possessed.

Upon seeing this, the palace maid curled her lips slightly and scoffed, "Tsk, she really is easy to talk to."

"Her Majesty the Empress is pregnant, and these months may not be very convenient for her. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity, Baolin?" the palace maid continued.

"Yes... I will definitely not let this opportunity slip by." Su Qianyan secretly made up her mind. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, the palace maid did not continue to speak. Once the matter was settled, she would no longer need to serve her. The other party said that as long as the matter was successful, she would be sent out of the palace.

On the other side

Yu Jingchen carried Nan Zhiyun back to Fengyin Palace. After settling her in, Yu Jingchen finally had time to listen to what Xinglai had found out that day.

"Your Majesty, we have found out. Before Yuan Suyi came to the capital, the Yuan family had sent a message that Yuan Suyi's trip to the capital was actually for the purpose of welcoming the Crown Prince." Xinglai recounted what he had found out.

Yu Jingchen hadn't originally intended to investigate, but he suddenly felt it was a coincidence. In the second life, Yuan Suyi was Luo Yuncheng's concubine, and by some twist of fate, she also became his roommate, which inevitably made him suspicious.

"The Yuan family has a crown prince, so it's inevitable that they need to make more plans." Fortunately, this one sentence revealed the truth of the matter.

"Heh, she certainly knows how to pick people." Yu Jingchen sneered.

No wonder... In his previous life, he only had one prince, the eldest prince, and later he only had the child he brought back from Nan Su.

(Previous summary: Do you remember at the beginning of the story, who did the male protagonist pass the throne to after his death? I wrote before that it was the child of the substitute (Su Qianyan), but in reality, this child was adopted by the male protagonist from Nan Su, and was not his biological child. See Chapter 399 for details.)

At that time, because she had few children, Consort Yuan had put a lot of thought into the matter of choosing an heir. He remembered that Luo Yuncheng was the eldest prince's supporter at that time... It was just a pity that the eldest prince, Yu Ke, was not fond of these things by nature, nor was he cut out to be emperor, not to mention that he was in poor health, so he had never considered him.

He paid much more attention to the adopted child. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he always saw Nan Zhiyun's shadow in that child. Besides, the child was quite smart, learning everything quickly and understanding things easily, which was why he made that decision in the end.
