Chapter 298 Wei Yanwan 38
"I heard that you sent a lot of things to Zhongcui Palace these days."
Hongli lay on Wei Yanwan's legs with his eyes closed. He only felt that the places where Wei Yanwan had massaged him were no longer as dull and painful as before. A relaxed and comfortable feeling slowly spread from the top of his head to his whole body, making his voice become lazy.
"Yes, I thought that although Concubine Su's words and actions were inappropriate, she is now ill, and those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have always been flattering the powerful, so I asked Chunlei to send some things to her to help her recover."
"Everyone else is avoiding her now, but you're approaching her. She wasn't very nice to you before, was she?"
Yanwan's warm fingertips slowly stroked his eyebrows. Hongli opened his eyes and met her affectionate eyes.
"Even so, I still remember that if it weren't for Noble Lady Su, I wouldn't have been able to serve the Emperor like I am today. For this reason, I am willing to remember her kindness."
"...As you wish."
Hongli said nothing more. He held Wei Yanwan's hands and sighed, "Lie down with me for a while."
Smelling the light fragrance of Wei Yanwan, Hongli, who originally just wanted to take a nap, gradually fell asleep. Wei Yanwan saw that he was sleeping soundly, so she estimated the time to get up.
When Hongli stood up, the seat next to him was empty. He was about to call Li Yu when Yanwan happened to walk in.
"Your Majesty is awake. Did you sleep well?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and picked up a bowl of bird's nest: "I heard you cough twice at noon, so I asked someone to accompany Xueli to make bird's nest. Please try it and see if it suits your appetite."
Li Yu stood outside, listening to the noises inside, and his admiration for Concubine Ling grew even greater. Putting aside other things, the Emperor had been somewhat moody since Empress Xiaoxian's passing, and even Concubine Xian couldn't always diagnose his pulse.
But this Concubine Ling, thinking carefully, has never said a wrong word in front of the emperor since she first received the emperor's favor until now.
And now it seems that she is gaining more and more favor from the emperor day by day.
"Be careful when you go back. The roads are slippery in the rain. Ask the servants to be steady so you don't fall."
"Yes, I know."
Listen, how long has it been since the emperor spoke to everyone in such a gentle voice?
"Eunuch Li? Bring your men in to serve."
Li Yu came back to his senses and was very respectful to the gentle and amiable Concubine Ling in front of him: "I will go now."
Wei Yanwan nodded at him, holding Chunchan's hand as they slowly left the Yangxin Palace. A minister was coming to the Palace that afternoon to report to the Emperor, so she naturally couldn't stay long.
She has already mastered this kind of measure.
Not long after, the emperor promoted Concubine Xian to Imperial Noble Concubine and took charge of the affairs of the six palaces.
He also promoted the six harems. Interestingly, Consort Jia, who also had a son, had been with the emperor since the Qiandi Palace, and had never made any mistakes, was not promoted. Instead, the new favorite, Consort Ling, became a noble concubine, with the power to assist in the management of the six harems. Consort Su, who had previously been stripped of her title, was released by the emperor and restored to Consort Chun.
That night, inside Qixiang Palace.
"Why does that bitch get on top of me?"
Concubine Jia has been worried about her sick son these days, but when she looks back, she finds that she has become a laughing stock in the harem. She is just an ordinary concubine, and Wei Yanwan has neither family background nor qualifications. She has served the emperor diligently for so many years from the Qiandi Palace to the harem, and gave birth to the first son for him after he ascended the throne. But now she is not even as good as a bed-climbing servant.
Jin Yuyan was shocked and angry, and didn't understand what was going on.
Seeing this, Zhenshu beside her quickly spoke up to persuade her, "Master, you must calm down and not lose your composure."
After speaking, she looked around and whispered in Jia Fei's ear in a low voice: "This servant just received the news that the old prince passed away and the prince succeeded to the throne. He is now the new king of the mother clan."
"real?"
Jin Yuyan was extremely surprised. She held the blessing bracelet in her hand and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. "I heard that the new king will come to the capital to pay homage to the king when he inherits the title. Maybe I can see him again in this life."
"Yes, we will definitely meet. It's a pity that although you put in so much effort this time to remove the Fourth Prince's obstacles, Concubine Xian and Concubine Ling took advantage of you."
"Oh, although the position of Queen is important, our Yongsheng's position as Crown Prince is naturally more important. When Yongsheng recovers, I will naturally find a way to make them vomit out what they ate."
Jia Fei's eyes were filled with fighting spirit again. "Besides, with Concubine Ling's background, she's already at the end of her career as a Concubine. As for the Imperial Concubine, she only has one adopted son and no support from her mother's family. Now, if anyone gives her the slightest push, she'll fall."
"So should we?"
"To be on the safe side, I still need to get pregnant again before I can make plans."
Jin Yuyan touched her still elegant face in the candlelight, her eyes full of determination.
Two months later, Concubine Jia got pregnant with her third child as she wished. She was thinking about pulling the Imperial Noble Concubine down with her so that when Prince Yu entered the palace, she could show him her best face and tell him that she had lived up to his expectations over the years.
So, thinking that she had successfully regained favor, Concubine Jia naturally turned her attention to the Imperial Noble Concubine and Concubine Ling, thinking about how to solve the problem once and for all.
Little did she know that the Prince Yu, whom she had been thinking about so much, had already been escorted to the capital.
…
Not long after, the long-dormant Concubine Jia finally found an opportunity.
The Emperor specially invited the renowned Master Anji for the Jinchuan War. The Imperial Concubine is a believer in Buddhism, and due to her duties, her contacts with Master Anji have been too close recently.
Concubine Ling also often went in and out of Anhua Palace because she helped the Imperial Concubine manage the six palaces.
That day, Wei Yanwan was helping the emperor go to bed in Yongshou Palace, but suddenly she heard shouting from the Yiku Palace next door.
"What's going on? Who's making such a loud noise in the palace?"
Li Yu hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that an assassin has broken into the Yikun Palace."
Hongli suddenly stood up from the bed and asked angrily, "Has the assassin been caught? Is Ruyi injured?"
Yan Wan, who was standing next to her, quickly took out a cloak, and the two of them came to the Yiku Palace together. They saw the guards in chaos, and the imperial concubine was standing in the corridor in shock. When she realized that she had disturbed the emperor, she hurried over to apologize.
"Get up. I heard some unusual movements in Yikun Palace and I'm worried about you. Are you injured anywhere?"
"The assassin just flashed by and didn't hurt me."
Ruyi was first happy about the emperor's concern, but then felt a little embarrassed when she saw Wei Yanwan beside her.
"I'm glad the Imperial Concubine is alright. I never thought an assassin could sneak into the Imperial Palace. I wonder how the guards are doing their job."
