After Rong Xi returned to the East Palace, he immediately ran to the Kunning Palace, wanting to tell his mother about the Ninth Prince and put her mind at ease.

Who knew that when Rong Xi arrived at Kunning Palace and finished telling his mother about the Ninth Prince, he heard his mother say something else. After hearing it, Rong Xi felt that the harem was about to be in turmoil again.

Lin Yiran looked at her son mysteriously: "Xi'er, do you know why there hasn't been any news from the third brother's side these past few days?"

Rong Xi shook his head.

"Li Wanyue has been making a huge fuss these past few days, even going so far as to speak to the Emperor. She claims that the princess chosen for the third prince has health problems and can't have children. No matter how the third prince explains, Li Wanyue is just making a scene and insists on replacing the princess from the Kingdom of Tianzhu."

Rong Xi pinched the bridge of his nose. What kind of mess is this? Does Li Wanyue think the harem isn't lively enough? She's just making things worse!

"Mother, what did Rong Mian say?"

Lin Yiran gently wiped her nail polish, revealing a sarcastic smile on her well-maintained face.

"What can he say? He's just been too busy lately and hasn't been to the princess's room at all. Besides, they've just gotten married, so it's normal that she's not pregnant yet. I guess he still doesn't want to give up his backing from India."

"However, the reason why Li Wanyue said this is because she has already colluded with the imperial physician to fabricate a reputation for infertility against the princess. She feels that Mu Xinyan has not helped the third prince much since their marriage, so she has the idea of ​​replacing her, and the target is the Feng Prince's Mansion."

Rong Xi was shocked after hearing this. Li Wanyue really had nowhere to go but to provoke A Qi.

So the reason the third brother hadn't been following him these past few days was because he was dealing with family issues!

If Aqi finds out about this, even if he cripples Li Wanyue and Rong Mian, it won't quell the anger in his heart.

Looking at the rich expressions on her son's face, Lin Yiran knew what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, son. I've already spoken to the imperial physicians that Li Wanyue has found. If things really escalate to the point of confrontation with the Emperor, they will tell the truth and won't let Li Wanyue succeed. Also, you should speak to Aqi in advance and make sure he doesn't take any action. Since this matter was caused by Li Wanyue, she'll have to deal with it herself."

Rong Xi nodded: "Don't worry, Mother, I will inform Aqi, but whether Aqi takes action or not is beyond my control. After all, it involves his beloved, and he won't remain indifferent. As for whether it will be done openly or in private, that's hard to say."

Lin Yiran angrily said, "You child, I sent you to talk to Aqi so that he wouldn't harm Li Wanyue and her son, lest it damage his relationship with your father. Besides, what Li Wanyue planned is impossible, so why would he bother?"

"Mother, don't you understand, Aqi? He's fine with everything else, he'll listen to us. But when it comes to his sweetheart, no one can persuade him unless she says it herself."

Lin Yiran thought about her son's words and realized he was right. Aqi's temper was truly uncontrollable, and this matter couldn't be kept from him any longer. Oh well, let nature take its course. As long as the final outcome is good, the methods used don't matter.

"Alright, just tell him the cause of this matter and what the Empress Dowager instructed. As for what Aqi does, that's up to him."

Rong Xi felt sympathy for Li Wanyue and her son, but outwardly he wore a gloating expression. Li Wanyue was truly restless; he wondered where she would move to after this incident, and whether there would be any place for her in the palace!

Rong Xi stood up to return to the palace: "Mother, I'll go back first and tell Aqi about this as soon as possible. Don't worry too much, your health is the most important thing."

Lin Yiran nodded: "Go quickly, Mother knows."

Rong Xi turned and walked out of Kunning Palace. He went outside and called An Yi over, asking An Yi to pass on what his mother had just said to Rong Qi.

As for what Rong Qi does, that's beyond his control.

After leaving the palace, An Yi went straight to the Prince Rong's residence, only to find no one there. Fortunately, someone told him his location. He then ran to the Prince Feng's residence to inform Rong Qi of the situation before returning to the Eastern Palace to report back.

What Rong Xi didn't know was that he had already received the news before An Yi told him about it. However, he was unaware of the Empress's involvement.

This Li Wanyue actually dares to covet his darling, is she living too lonely a life! He doesn't mind helping her liven things up.
