"Why are you all here? I came to the palace and found it empty. What happened?"

Wanyi's clear voice rang out from behind, and the ministers and concubines consciously made way for her.

"Consort Chen!!!" the Imperial Noble Consort exclaimed in surprise. The matter was originally settled, but the female protagonist appeared behind her. How could the Imperial Noble Consort not be surprised? The other participants also showed their surprise to varying degrees. Wanyi carefully noted them down.

"Why are you looking at me like that? It seems you're quite surprised to see me?" Wanyi asked, puzzled. Then she met Kangxi's eyes and noticed that his eyes seemed to brighten considerably.

"There you are! I just didn't expect to see you here. I heard from the eunuch that there was a fire in the attic, and I thought Sister Chen was inside, so I came here!" Consort Wen felt regretful, but she still explained to Wan Yi.

"Oh, I see! But I didn't change my clothes here, I did it on the other side. I felt a little dizzy after changing, so I went to the lakeside to enjoy the cool breeze and clear my head!"

Wanyi explained why she wasn't here. She had indeed gone to the other side to change clothes and had run into Bayar Haojie, who had also been drugged. The Imperial Concubine was ruthless; she had given them both strong aphrodisiacs that couldn't be countered without sexual intercourse. However, Wanyi still managed to find some medicine in her space to suppress the effects and gave it to Bayar Haojie, who then had Furong take it to a secluded place to settle down.

"It's good that Consort Chen is alright. Guards, take those two scoundrels inside to the Ministry of Justice to await their fate!" Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it wasn't Consort Wan inside, and immediately decided to take the two people inside.

"My lady, Granny Kong said that the Fourth Prince is crying and begging for you, look!" At this moment, Ye Ming came over and whispered to Wan Yi. Wan Yi then knew that Fu Rong had already settled Bayar Haojie back in the side hall of Jin'an Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is crying and looking for me. It's getting late, may I take the Fourth Prince back to the palace first?" When Wanyi heard that it was her son looking for her, she hurriedly looked at Kangxi, her pleading eyes very obvious.

"Alright! The child is more important. You take the Fourth Prince back first!" Kangxi said with some disdain. He was worried about Wan'er, but Wan'er was thinking about another man. How could he be happy? Even if it was her son, it wouldn't work. He was a man too.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave now!" As Wanyi was leaving, she gave the Imperial Noble Consort a triumphant and provocative look, which made the Imperial Noble Consort so angry that she did not even notice the injury to her palm caused by her nail guard. She couldn't understand why the Imperial Noble Consort was unharmed when she clearly saw that the Imperial Noble Consort had already eaten the mooncake.

When Wanyi left, she saw her mother and father in Moduan. She could only hold back her tears and nod to them to indicate that she was alright. When she was seven months pregnant, her mother could have come to the palace to accompany her during childbirth, but at that time, the Empress Dowager was watching her closely, so she did not mention it. After that, there was a period of national mourning, so there was even less of a chance. Now, it was good enough to see her from afar.

The banquet continued, but Wanyi, along with Granny Kong and the others, walked back to the palace. When they reached Yongshou Palace and the hiding place of Bayar Haojie, Wanyi stopped.

"Come on, Mother, can you give us some sweet water?" Wanyi took out a small bottle from her spatial storage, which contained a spare bottle of spiritual spring water.

"Ah! Auntie, Auntie!" Yinzhen excitedly reached out his hand as soon as he smelled the scent.

"Granny, give this to the Fourth Prince when he cries. I have other things to do. Also, have someone leave the side gate open. Ye Ming, go back and clear the road. Furong, accompany me!"

Wanyi spoke quickly, a restless heat rising within her body.

"Yes, Your Highness, please be careful!" Granny Kong had served the Empress Dowager for many years, so how could she not know what was wrong with Wanyi? But Wanyi was already her mistress, and Granny Kong would naturally obey her arrangements. Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Emperor was either at the Imperial Noble Consort's residence or back in the Qianqing Palace to rest.

"I will!" Wanyi gave Kong Mama a deep look, and Kong Mama nodded knowingly.

Furong helped Wanyi walk to a secluded place, heading towards the nearest abandoned North Second Palace. To the right of the North Second Palace was the palace road, and to the left was the Cining Palace. However, the Cining Palace had been empty since the death of the Empress Dowager, with only two rough-working old women cleaning it.

"Who?" Bayarhaojie picked up a wooden stick from the ground and made a striking motion, thinking that if someone came in, he would knock her unconscious to avoid losing his life and harming his family. Bayarhaojie put all his strength into gripping the wooden stick. His face was flushed and his clothes were disheveled. He had not yet lost his mind, which shows how strong Bayarhaojie's willpower was.

"It is I!" Wanyi instructed Furong to guard the outside and give them the two bottles of spring water that had been prepared after they were done, before stumbling in.

"Your Highness Consort Chen, leave. This is not a place for you."

Bayar Haojie was very grateful to Consort Chen for saving him, and he also had feelings for her, but that was all; he couldn't harm Consort Chen.

"If I hadn't come, we would both have died suddenly. The person behind this has no intention of letting us go. If it were an ordinary aphrodisiac, I would have taken the antidote long ago, but this is potent. Without consummating our relationship, it cannot be neutralized. I have already made arrangements. Now there are only two choices: either we go together, or we die together!"

Wanyi slowly approached Bayarhaojie, but in her heart she thought, if Kangxi could have so many women, why couldn't she have a man? She was from the modern era! Having lived through three lifetimes, Kangxi was her first man. In her first life in 2001, she was only eighteen years old. In her second life, she was imprisoned until she lived to be 62. In this life, she wanted to live comfortably until her death.

"You are the Empress, I dare not!"

He was from the Bayar clan, a Manchu of the Bordered Yellow Banner, an old and prominent family. He was the second son in the family and one of the most promising heirs. He was in his mid-twenties and the family was preparing to arrange a marriage for him. He did not have any concubines in his household, as he wanted to save the best for his own wife. He had no interest in the position of clan leader.

"Look me in the eye and say it again!" Wanyi grabbed Bayarhaojie's hand and made him look at her. Little did Wanyi know that Bayarhaojie was a clueless young man.

When Bayar Haojie touched that soft hand, which had a comfortable coolness, he lost all sense of reason and pounced on Wanyi. Although he didn't know much about lovemaking, men are born with innate skills. At first, Wanyi stood on top, but men who have tasted the sweetness of love have a competitive spirit. Her strong body was no less than that of Kangxi, and even better. After all, she was young and vigorous!

Furong nervously watched the door from outside. The sounds inside couldn't be heard outside, since the Second Prince's residence was quite large. Furong was guarding the second gate. When things started getting intense, she could hear some faint sounds, but they gradually faded away. Furong then gripped the two bottles of spring water tightly in her hands and went inside every now and then to listen and see if it was over.
