She is beautiful, but not even half as beautiful as Wan'er; she is on par with Yu Yan in terms of looks.

"Get up!" Wan'er pointed to a chair on the upper left, gesturing for Ag to sit down.

She carefully examined Ag and noticed that he was still clutching a wooden box in his hand. However, she did not point it out, but wanted to see what he was up to.

Smoke curled from the incense burner, and a faint fragrance filled the room.

"Consort Xian looks much better." Ag stared intently at Wan'er, trying to see if she was using rouge to cover up her complexion.

Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "I'm much better. It's strange, but ever since I stopped taking the medicine, my health has improved."

She paused deliberately, her gaze meeting Ag's, trying to find some flaws in her expression.

Perhaps because he felt guilty, Ag avoided Wan'er's gaze.

Seeing this, Wan'er had a slight idea of ​​what was going on and continued, "All of this is thanks to the thousand-year-old ginseng bestowed by the Emperor. Otherwise, how could I have recovered so quickly without taking medicine?" As she spoke, she drank the ginseng tea that had just been brewed at Chenshi (7-9 AM).

Her nonchalant attitude immediately put Ag to a sigh of relief. "Thousand-year-old ginseng is an extremely precious thing, and only Your Highness is worthy of using it."

Wan'er remained unmoved. She put down the medicine bowl and said, "Yes, I am weak and can only rely on it to prolong my life. You are all healthy and naturally do not need it."

In just one sentence, the intention of flattery was transformed into sarcasm.

Ag's expression changed slightly, and she quickly explained, "Your Majesty has misunderstood, that's not what I meant."

"Enough, enough!" Wan'er waved her hand. "Anyway, it's the truth, and I accept it. You don't need to be afraid. I won't blame you."

She knew that the more flattering someone was, the less she could bear to hear their words.

"Your concubine..."

Age wanted to explain further, but Wan'er interrupted him, "What important matter brings you here to see me today?"

Seeing that Wan'er had changed the subject, Ag couldn't continue what he had just said. He could only open the wooden box and say, "This is a Tian Shan snow lotus. The flowers are so big. It only appears once every hundred years. It is something you can only come across once in a hundred years. It is something you can only come across once in a hundred years."

He then handed the Tianshan Snow Lotus to Wan'er, hoping she would accept it, but Wan'er refused without even looking at it, saying, "Since it is such a precious thing, let's leave it to someone who is destined to have it."

It's not that the Tian Shan snow lotus isn't valuable, but the system warned that it's coated with a very subtle poison that even the imperial physicians couldn't detect with their naked eyes.

The poison was applied to the wooden box, and after being dried and sealed tightly, the toxin had penetrated into the flower's stamen, while the flower's exterior appeared no different from a normal white lotus.

Such exquisite poisoning techniques must have taken more than a day or two to complete.

Although this poison will not be fatal immediately, it will cause a person to wither slowly, like a blooming flower, until the end of their life.

At this point, Wan'er was convinced that she was the person behind Yu Yan.

"This..." Ag looked embarrassed, completely unexpected that Wan'er would refuse such a good thing. But how could she be willing to let her efforts go to waste? So she explained, "Your Majesty has seen many rare treasures. It's understandable that you don't like this snow lotus, but this snow lotus has a special effect..."

She acted mysteriously, trying to pique Wan'er's curiosity.

Wan'er understood, and feigning curiosity, she asked, "What are its effects?"

Age thought Wan'er had taken the bait, so he quickly leaned closer and said, "This snow lotus has the effect of making people more fertile. I've heard that as long as you take it once, you will get pregnant."

"Oh?" Wan'er's eyes flashed with surprise, then she smiled and said, "So amazing?"

"This concubine would not dare to deceive Your Majesty." Age proudly raised her chin, believing that Wan'er would definitely accept it.

She knew that none of the women in the harem did not want children.

Unfortunately, Wan'er wouldn't be led by the nose by her.

"It's rare that you're so thoughtful." Wan'er nodded in agreement. "If that's the case, why don't you use it yourself and instead give it to me?"

Age gave a bitter smile. "I want to use it, but I can't. His Majesty hasn't visited my palace for a year, so I can only offer it to someone who needs it."

"But I don't need it either," Wan'er sighed sadly.

Ag's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?"

"It's all because my body is too weak; I'm afraid I can't bear the hardships of pregnancy." Wan'er pretended to touch her belly, her face full of worry.

"No, this Tianshan snow lotus also has the effect of stabilizing the body, and will definitely keep you safe and sound." After saying that, Ag lowered his eyes, hiding the cunning in them.

It seems that Wan'er is determined to accept it.

But Wan'er would not do as she wished. She had already come up with a plan and said, "But I have already promised Yu Yan."

"Promise her what?" Ag asked, puzzled.

"Before this Tianshan snow lotus, I once thought I was unlucky and unable to conceive. It was Yuyan who came up with a plan, which I thought made some sense." She didn't say it explicitly, deliberately whetting Ag's appetite.

As expected, Ag fell for it and asked eagerly, "What method?"

"It means I should beg the Emperor to make her a concubine, and any child she gives birth to will be my child." Wan'er's eyes gleamed with innocent foolishness, a skill she had honed through many missions.

Upon hearing this, Ag frowned and clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to crush Yu Yan in his hands and kill her.

“Even so, can a child be closer than one’s own?” Ag said through gritted teeth. “She is just a servant girl. Your Highness need not take her words to heart.”

Wan'er observed her reaction discreetly, glancing at the snow lotus in the wooden box out of the corner of her eye, and said, "You know that I am not a person without integrity. Since I have made a promise, I must keep it."

Ag took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Your Majesty is a kind and righteous person, and I admire you greatly. However, it seems that there is no major conflict between making Yu Yan a concubine and having a child with you."

“There is no conflict, but as you said, the one raised is not as close as the one born. When I raise the two children, I am afraid I will not be able to treat them equally.” Wan’er looked into the distance, imagining the future. She spoke clearly and very slowly. She wanted to see what Ag would do next.
