Elegant Palace.
With a clicking sound, another precious teacup disappeared from the Xian Ya Palace.
As a result, the teapot that matches the teacups on the table is no longer allowed to appear in the palace.
"He has only been to my palace, Xian Ya Gong, a few times, and every time he looks at me like a vicious stepmother. Can I really kill him openly?"
Before Yan Cheng was brought back to the palace, Concubine Yun Shu wanted him to die outside the palace.
However, after not killing him and allowing him to enter the palace smoothly, Concubine Yun Shu temporarily gave up this idea.
It’s not that her maternal love, which had been delayed for more than ten years, finally came. She had completely let go of the little pitiful maternal love she had for her youngest son when she chose to give him up.
Now she gave up on attacking her unnecessary younger son, only because she suddenly figured it out.
The presence of the younger son can allow the other princes to temporarily let down their guard against the eldest son, so that the eldest son will not become a thorn in the eyes of some people as before.
Besides, if something happened to her eldest son and her younger son was still alive, she would still have a way out, right?
So Yan Cheng can die, but not now.
At least it will take until the later stages of the succession struggle, when the princes who are eager to compete for the throne have almost no energy left to fight.
Although she regarded her youngest son as a last resort, it did not prevent Concubine Yun Shu from looking down on this youngest son who came back from outside the palace, was tainted with the air of outside the palace, and did not look like a prince.
"He loves going to Zhuixia Palace so much, running there every few days, and he wants to live there. Why doesn't he just acknowledge Yan Zhaoyi as his mother?"
Of course, Concubine Yun Shu didn't really want Yan Cheng to stop being her son. Having two sons in the palace is different from having one son.
Grandma Gao also knew that Concubine Yun Shu was speaking in anger, so she lowered her brows and said submissively, "If the Eighth Prince went to Zhuixia Palace, it would be a real bargain for Yan Zhaoyi. Would Your Majesty be happy to see Yan Zhaoyi so proud?"
"How is that possible!"
Concubine Yun Shu raised her chin and said, "Even if I don't want my things, I can't let others have them. Rather than giving them away, I would rather destroy them."
What a domineering personality.
Grandma Gao lowered her eyes, but a gleam of light flashed in her cloudy old eyes. She used her hands to massage Concubine Yun Shu with the strength that she liked best.
Concubine Yun Shu, who was leaning on the recliner, was very pleased with the high-end service that Grandma Gao had provided for ten years. She was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep with her eyes half closed.
At this time, Grandma Gao slowly said, "Your Majesty, with the doctor sent by the Eighth Prince, I'm afraid Yan Zhaoyi will recover soon. Doesn't Your Majesty dislike Yan Zhaoyi? Why don't we do something?"
Hearing such life-threatening words in a half-awake state, Concubine Yun Shu suddenly perked up.
Her half-closed eyelids suddenly lifted up, and she raised her hand to stop Grandma Gao from continuing the massage service. She sat upright on the recliner with a stern face and an unfathomable expression.
Grandma Gao stood quietly aside and said nothing more.
After a long time, Concubine Yun Shu let out a breath and her waist softened.
"Forget it. Her existence is not a threat to my son. Her son is too young."
"Heng'er is getting older. In order to facilitate his ascension to the throne, I will need more and more people. It's not worth wasting our manpower on Yan Zhaoyi."
"Besides, a foolish woman like her won't survive long in the palace, Mammy. There's no need to mention her again."
"yes."
Grandma Gao responded with a normal expression.
＊
A few days later, it was revealed that the person who had given Zhaoyi Yan chronic poison for many years in Zhuixia Palace was the senior palace maid Doukou, whom she trusted deeply.
Doukou has a skill in making desserts. She makes exquisite snacks for Yan Zhaoyi almost every day. The quantity she makes each time is very small, just enough for Yan Zhaoyi to eat alone.
When others asked her to make more snacks, she said that these were a special gift for the Empress and she would not give them to others.
Yan Zhaoyi thought what she said was true, and she always ate up all the snacks she made, not even giving any to her own son. Unexpectedly, this move saved the eleventh prince.
The Eleventh Prince is young and weak. If he really ate those snacks, he might die earlier than Concubine Yan.
After finding out who the evil wolf beside her was, Yan Zhaoyi almost fainted from fright. She was shocked that the palace maid whom she had trusted for many years was someone else's traitor, and she was also shocked that her son almost suffered with her.
Following the clue of Doukou, the investigation finally revealed that the mastermind behind the scenes was actually Yang Guifei. After knowing this result, Yan Zhaoyi remained silent for a long time.
Under the worried gaze of the two senior palace maids brought from home, he dragged his weak body, which had not been completely detoxified, straight to the Qianqing Palace.
No one knows what Yan Zhaoyi and Emperor Jingxi said during their rare visit to the Qianqing Palace.
In short, everyone only saw that not long after Yan Zhaoyi left the Qianqing Palace, rewards were sent to the Zhuixia Palace like water.
From that day on, Emperor Jingxi summoned Yan Guangyi, the Minister of Works, to the Palace of Heavenly Purity many times to discuss state affairs, and also invited Yan Guangyi to dinner many times. Every time Yan Guangyi came out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he would bring some rewards.
People all said that Yan Guangyi was lucky and was favored by Emperor Jingxi. He was like the new favorite of the emperor. Promotion and wealth were just around the corner. There were many more people trying to curry favor with him than before.
Yan Guangyi didn't think so.
The first time he was summoned to the Qianqing Palace he thought it was a coincidence, the second time he thought it was an accident, and the third time he realized it was a compensation from Emperor Jingxi's overly friendly attitude.
And I can make up for it to him...
Either something happened to Cheng'er or something happened to my younger sister.
Yan Guangyi was anxious to find out the truth, so he went home and told his wife and children about his guess.
The Yan family members were all worried about their relatives in the palace.
On the day when the concubine's mother's family entered the palace, Chu Yuan hurried into the palace. When he arrived at Zhuixia Palace, he asked Yan Zhaoyi if anything had happened in the palace.
