Qin Ruoruo consoled her, "Sister Gu, the future is unpredictable. Maybe you and His Majesty will really be able to live the kind of life you talk about."

Gu Yanyue looked at her for a while, shook her head and sighed: "I have let it go now. I'll just stay in the palace for the rest of my life. After all, at least I have Ah Ran by my side, and Xiao Yuntun is also here. That's enough." There have been too many things happening in the past few days, which made Gu Yanyue feel disgusted with her current life. It was also the first time that she hated her identity as the queen so much.

Is Gu Yanyue expressing her own feelings? Qin Ruoruo said calmly, "Sister Gu, are you worried about the baby in Liu Yanyan's belly? If you really can't bring yourself to do it, you can let me do it."

Gu Yanyue was stunned for a long time after hearing this. When she finally came to her senses, she looked at Qin Ruoruo deeply and finally shook her head. "Forget it, let her handle the matter of the child. After all, she may not be able to give birth to the child. Even if she does give birth, it won't be a big deal. She may not be able to survive. I won't do anything, but that doesn't mean others won't. There are so many people in this palace who are jealous of Liu Yanyan's pregnancy. There is no need to dirty their hands for a white lotus like her."

No matter how you listen to it, Gu Yanyue's words are full of meaning. Qin Ruoruo thought about it and asked the question that had been puzzling her for a while. She said, "Sister Gu, when I entered the palace just now, I heard Sister Yan say that Shangguan Yi went to the palace to see Liu Yanyan today?"

Gu Yanyue had known about Shangguan Yi's visit to the palace to see Liu Yanyan since she got off the carriage at the palace gate. Now that Qin Ruoruo had spoken about this, Gu Yanyue must have known what she was thinking.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion has a queen pregnant with a 'dragon seed'. Not only Shangguan Yi, but quite a few young ladies from official families have been wanting to come to the palace to see Liu Yanyan these days. It's probably because the father and brother of the family want to establish connections with the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion, so they sent their young ladies to get close to Liu Yanyan. It's just that they don't have a badge to enter the palace, so they can't get in."

"As for Shangguan Yi, she definitely didn't approach Liu Yanyan for the 'dragon seed'. After all, Shangguan Yi was the Queen Mother's adopted daughter, and she was allowed to call her mother. Furthermore, I heard that she had been living in Prince Xiang's mansion for several months. The Queen Mother might have kept the fact that Liu Yanyan was carrying a fake dragon seed a secret from others, but she definitely wouldn't have hidden it from Shangguan Yi."

"So Shangguan Yi definitely didn't come to the palace to see Liu Yanyan as she said. She must have come to discuss something with the eunuch..."

At this point, Gu Yanyue's gaze was somewhat long. "Besides, the Queen Mother has already stuffed Liu Yanyan into Yuwen Ran's harem. Oh, and then there's Shangguan Yi, right? Shangguan Yi is really much smarter than Liu Yanyan. A woman like Shangguan Yi, who has a good family background, the Queen Mother's support, good looks, and brains, is the most suitable to survive in this palace."

Qin Ruoruo's eyes paused slightly: "The Queen Mother wants Shangguan Yi to enter the palace?"

The palace has become a mess since Liu Yanyan appeared. If Shangguan Yi comes along, I’m afraid Gu Yanyue won’t be able to live like this anymore.

"That's probably true." Gu Yanyue said nonchalantly, "But Ah Ran's harem is already in name only. If she enters, she'll just be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life. With her intelligence, she definitely won't do something that's doomed to fail."

Gu Yanyue obviously didn't want to talk about Shangguan Yi any more, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "In the near future, I'm afraid the situation in the capital will be very tense. You are someone close to me, and I think you will be targeted if you come to the clinic. Mr. He needs to go out frequently for business, so you should be more careful. If it really doesn't work out, you can move into the palace and live with me for a few days."

Qin Ruoruo also followed Gu Yanyue's expression and said solemnly, "Sister Gu, I understand."

Qin Ruoruo also guessed from Gu Yanyue's few words that Gu Yanyue and Yuwen Ran might want to deal with Prince Xiang's Mansion and Marquis Zhenbei. If Yuwen Ran really started to deal with Prince Xiang's Mansion and Marquis Zhenbei's Mansion, it would probably cause a storm in the capital. As a good friend of Gu Yanyue, she would naturally be targeted by people from Prince Xiang's Mansion and Marquis Zhenbei's Mansion.

Gu Yanyue patted her hands: "Ruoruo, you must protect yourself, don't be like Murong..."

Qin Ruoruo agreed, and as she was speaking, she saw Ah Yan and a little palace maid coming over. Ah Yan said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhou and Concubine Hui are arguing up ahead. They were already fighting when I came to look for you just now. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

These days, Concubine Liu is pregnant, and the other concubines in the palace are starting to get impatient.

Originally, Yuwen Ran only doted on Gu Yanyue and never even looked at them. Moreover, the only child Yuwen Ran had was born to Gu Yanyue.

But things became different after Liu Yanyan became pregnant. After all, since Yuwen Ran could touch a woman like Liu Yanyan, why couldn't he touch them?

Everyone in the harem has selfish motives. Once someone takes the lead, the conflicts will become much more numerous than before. In addition, many ministers are trying to put people into Yuwen Ran's harem.

The old people in the harem couldn't even get a glance from Yuwen Ran. If a new person came in, she would probably never be favored by Yuwen Ran again in her life.

So, the harem had lost its former tranquility. Every now and then, there would be some kind of disturbance. Today, it was either this concubine arguing with that concubine, and tomorrow, that concubine would be fighting with some noble lady. Although these were not a big deal compared to Liu Yanyan's pregnancy, it was like this every day. Every time something happened, it had to be reported to Gu Yanyue's Fengqi Palace. Gu Yanyue had long been impatient.

Upon hearing that Concubine Zhou and Concubine Hui were fighting again, Gu Yanyue immediately showed displeasure. No matter how good-tempered one was, she had to spend the whole day trying to mediate fights. Not only that, but she also had to prevent the Queen Mother and Liu Yanyan from getting into any more trouble or doing anything out of turn. Gu Yanyue was almost driven crazy by these women in the palace these past few days. If they pushed her too far, whoever wanted to be the Queen would take it!

But this only existed in fantasy. The reality was that Gu Yanyue now had to deal with the mess caused by the fight between Concubine Zhou and Concubine Hui. Gu Yanyue took a deep breath and kept telling herself in her heart, don't be angry, don't be angry, just bear it a little longer, it will be fine. After dealing with Prince Xiang's group, it would be Yuwen Ran's harem's turn.
