Imperial Garden.

Lingyun was a little distracted. Fu Qianyu looked at Xiangyue who was collecting snow water not far away and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"My lady, I am still a little worried."

"Are you talking about the Hehuan Powder?"

Lingyun hummed, "If Liuyin succeeds, the emperor will probably confer a title on her. Then, what will the palace think of you?"

"And Concubine Wan, I really can't understand what she means by this move."

Fu Qianyu didn't take it seriously and just smiled. "Everyone in the palace thinks I'm close to Concubine Wan, but she knows our private relationship better than anyone else. Liuyin wants wealth and glory, but she has no way to achieve it. Concubine Wan is extending an olive branch to her now, so Liuyin will naturally be grateful to her."

Lingyun frowned, "But if they form an alliance, won't Wanpin's power grow even stronger?"

Fu Qianyu sneered, "People like Liuyin, having tasted the sweetness of success, naturally won't want to go back to their former hardship. So, she will definitely do her utmost to climb up. People like this are the most cruel and vicious. Concubine Wan may not be able to control them."

Lingyun thought for a moment and whispered, "From what you said, it seems that you want the two of them to form an alliance openly?"

"Sounds interesting, doesn't it?"

Lingyun wanted to continue asking, but Xiangyue had already fetched the snow water and came over, "Okay, it's almost time, we should go back."

Huayang Palace.

Zhu Yu was originally drinking tea and resting in the warm room. Seeing that the time was almost up, he stood up and walked towards the side hall.

But before I reached the door, I heard a familiar voice coming from inside.

His heart skipped a beat, and he fiercely kicked Xiao Dezi, who was dozing against the pillar, "Damn you little bastard! I told you to sleep!"

De'an was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly kicked and was a little dazed.

Zhu Yu was filled with hatred and slapped Xiao Dezi again. He asked in a deep voice, "Who's in there, you bastard?"

Xiao Dezi was slightly startled. After hearing the noise inside, he was dumbfounded. "Master, I don't know!"

There is no need to think about it, it must be a palace maid serving in Huayang Palace.

Zhu Yu's heart felt like it was burning.

It is not uncommon for the emperor to favor a palace maid, but the key is which palace maid she is.

It would be fine if it was an ordinary palace maid, but she happened to be from Huayang Palace. If this were to get out, how would others view Concubine Yi?

"What should I do?"

Zhu Yu rubbed his hands anxiously. After thinking for a while, he ordered Xiao Dezi, "Hurry to the Imperial Garden and try to stop the Empress. Then quickly call the imperial physician. Do it quietly and don't alarm anyone."

But before he could finish his words, he heard a lively voice at the door: "What happened to Eunuch Zhu?"

Zhu Yu trembled with fear and hurried forward, saying awkwardly, "Didn't the Queen want to collect snow water? Why are you back so soon?"

Fu Qianyu pretended not to know and just smiled gently, "The weather is cold, and I can't stand it. I thought the emperor should get up from his morning nap, so I came back."

Zhu Yu smiled apologetically, "The Emperor hasn't gotten up yet. Your Majesty, why don't you go back to your bedroom and rest? When the Emperor wakes up, I'll send someone to tell you."

"Is that so?" Fu Qianyu looked towards the warm room and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble you, eunuch. I'll go back first."

"Yes, Madam, take care."

Zhu Yu just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, Zhao Yuancheng's furious voice rang out from the side hall: "Zhu Yu, get in here!"

Fu Qianyu heard something was wrong in the voice and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with the emperor?"

Zhu Yu was inconsolable and didn't know how to explain it, so he could only lift his clothes and crawl inside.

The door to the side hall was opened, and the ambiguous atmosphere in the room had not yet dissipated. Women's clothes and bright yellow robes were scattered all over the floor, especially the bellyband embroidered with peony flowers, which was extremely fragrant.

"emperor……"

Zhu Yu knew that he had neglected his duty, so he knelt on the ground without waiting for the emperor's order. At the innermost part of the bed, Liu Yin's eyes were red and her hair was disheveled.

You don't need to look to know what just happened.

When Fu Qianyu saw the person on the bed clearly, she couldn't help but feel grief-stricken. Tears immediately rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string. She felt broken and desolate. "Your Majesty, how could you treat me like this?"

Lingyun supported the person steadily and said distressedly, "My lady, be careful. You are still pregnant."

"Yu'er, I don't know what's going on!" When Zhao Yuancheng saw Fu Qianyu come in, he quickly put on his pajamas and explained anxiously.

Although Fu Qianyu was heartbroken, she knew her limits and ordered Lingyun in a trembling voice, "Don't spread a single word of what happened today."

"Yes, I've made note of it."

"Your Majesty is tired. Why don't you go back to the main hall and rest? I will take care of everything here."

"Yu'er."

Zhao Yuancheng looked at the sparkling eyes of Fu Qianyu, but he couldn't say anything.

Zhu Yu hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, please go to the main hall and rest first. The Empress will take care of it."

Zhao Yuancheng sighed and finally turned and left. Liuyin, who was not far away, watched this scene, feeling both happy and scared.

She finally did it.

From now on, she is no longer a lowly slave. She will step by step reach the peak and become the most noble woman in the harem.

Fu Qianyu took a deep breath and told Xiang Yue in a deep voice, "Find her some clothes and bring her to the main hall to see me later."

"yes."

When Fu Qianyu returned to the main hall, Zhao Yuancheng was already dressed neatly, and the scarlet in his eyes had completely faded, leaving only endless apology.

"Yu'er, I am sorry for you."

Fu Qianyu looked calm and indifferent, just looking at Zhao Yuancheng quietly, "Your Majesty, no matter what happens, Liuyin is yours after all."

Zhao Yuancheng knew it, but seeing Fu Qianyu so calm, he became a little angry. "You really don't care at all?"

Fu Qianyu raised her face slightly, tears staining her jade-like face. She looked so weak that it made people feel heartbroken. "Your Majesty, I regard you as my husband. How can I not be sad? But you are not only my husband, but also the emperor of Dajing. Therefore, no matter how sad I am, I have to pretend to be magnanimous."

"Don't say anymore, I know everything."

Zhao Yuancheng stepped forward and hugged Fu Qianyu, his expression moved. "It's all my fault. I don't know what happened. It was like I was out of control. By the time I realized what was happening, it was too late."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to explain. I understand everything. What I care about is whether Your Majesty has me in his heart."

"The wind is howling, the road is long, the love is deep, and the meaning is endless."

Zhao Yuancheng's dark eyes were a little starry, filled with infinite affection, "In my heart, I have always cared about you."

Fu Qianyu leaned against Zhao Yuancheng's chest and whispered, "With your Majesty's words, I am satisfied."

"However, since Liuyin has been favored, you should give her the position she deserves."

Zhao Yuancheng said calmly: "Since it is now, I will appoint her as a concubine. As for where she will live."

"Sister Wanpin likes Liuyin very much. She always has endless things to talk about with Liuyin every time she comes. If Liuyin can keep Wanpin company, she will definitely be very happy."

At this moment, no matter what Fu Xiyu said, Zhao Yuancheng would not object, "Then let her live with Wanpin."
