Wan'er tugged at Fulin's sleeve, "It's just a small matter, Your Majesty, please don't bother the Empress Dowager."
“But I cannot tolerate Jing’er’s arrogance and domineering attitude, and her arbitrary humiliation of you,” Fulin said unwillingly.
Wan'er gave a wry smile, leaned close to Fu Lin's ear, and said patiently, "A moment of patience brings peace, and a step back opens up a vast sky. The Empress Dowager is already quite dissatisfied with me because of your favoritism. If you insist on making a decision for me over this small matter, I'm afraid my impression of her will only get worse."
But Fulin was stubborn and wouldn't listen to anything. "Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good. You were the one who was wronged. Why shouldn't Mother punish that wicked woman? Why should she blame you instead?"
Wan'er had long expected these words to come from Fulin's mouth, so she sighed softly, "But I want the Empress Dowager to like me, Your Majesty, please give me this opportunity. If the Empress does the same thing again, it won't be too late to inform the Empress Dowager."
Fu Lin was taken aback when he saw the pleading look in Wan'er's eyes.
Fu Lin knew Wan'er's personality all too well. Although she was frail and weak, she was very strong-willed. Once, in order to please Dayuer, she dragged her weak body into the rain to protect Dayuer's favorite sleeping lotus.
Now that Da Yu'er has finally begun to change her opinion of her, wouldn't all her efforts be wasted because of this?
Wan'er naturally had no idea what the original owner had done; this action was purely accidental.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and go." Jing'er urged, seeing the two of them being all lovey-dovey.
Her words reignited Fu Lin's anger, and if Wan'er hadn't intervened in time, the two would likely have started fighting.
"Wan'er, let me go."
Fu Lin said angrily that he could have broken free, but he was afraid that Wan'er would be pushed to the ground, so he could only let her hold him.
Seeing this, Wan'er used her trump card, forcing out two tears and sobbing out loud.
When Fu Lin saw her crying so sadly, he immediately lost his temper.
Seeing the two of them, Jing'er stomped her feet in anger, "Fulin, are you going or not?"
Apart from Da Yu'er, she was the only one who dared to address Fu Lin by his given name.
Fu Lin gritted his teeth, turned his gaze to her, and said, "If you want to go, go by yourself. I feel utterly disgusted if I have to deal with a poisonous woman like you for even a minute longer."
After saying that, he took Wan'er's hand and walked towards the palace, leaving Jing'er standing there blankly. After a long while, she came to her senses and turned to leave.
In the palace, Wan'er tried her best to calm Fulin's anger by telling many jokes, which finally made Fulin's anger dissipate.
"Alright, no need to say anymore, I'm not angry anymore."
Seeing her exhausted expression, Fu Lin's tone softened. He reached out his large hand to wipe away the remaining tear stains on her cheeks, looking at her with a complicated expression.
Wan'er tilted her head slightly to meet his gaze, "Really? Your Majesty is really not angry?"
"kindness…"
Her bright eyes and luscious lips made Fu Lin's throat tighten and his heart race.
Wan'er felt his strange gaze, her face instantly turning red. Realizing what he wanted to do, she quickly asked the system to temporarily remove her soul.
In mid-air, she saw two bodies intertwined and entangled, and her face instantly turned bright red as she quickly turned away.
Half an hour later, the two stopped arguing. In order to reduce the amount of money deducted, they possessed the body as soon as the original owner put on his clothes.
Fu Lin was still not satisfied. If it weren't for the little eunuch outside reminding him that there were still many memorials to review, he would have liked to regain his energy and continue to entangle with Wan'er.
"Your Majesty, state affairs are of utmost importance," Wan'er said considerately.
Fu Lin had no choice but to nod in response, "I know. I will come to see you as soon as Hai Shi (9-11 PM) arrives."
After speaking, he straightened his clothes and quickly left.
After the door closed, Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help feeling a little melancholy, after all, so much money had been deducted again.
Therefore, she quickly picked up the medicine that Jing'er had given her and gulped it down. Only by getting pregnant quickly could she avoid doing that kind of thing.
The taste was exactly the same as the one Zhe Zhe gave to Hai Lan Zhu last time, but she didn't understand why Jing Er would give it to her.
To find out why Jing'er did this, as soon as it got dark and before Fu Lin arrived, she asked Qi Lan to take her to the Empress's palace.
Led by Qi Lan, she soon arrived at Jing'er Palace. Looking at the three characters "Yongfu Palace" written at the entrance, Wan'er showed a faint smile.
The palace was all too familiar, except that the person living there was not the same one from back then.
She gently pushed open the door to the bedchamber and walked inside. As soon as she stepped in, she felt a chill.
Jing'er sat upright in the main seat, looking directly at her without saying a word.
Wan'er bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, this concubine greets Your Majesty the Empress!"
"I knew you would come, and I have been waiting here," Jing'er said calmly, without any of the aggressiveness she had when Fulin was in power.
"Her Majesty the Empress is truly prescient," Wan'er praised.
Jing'er was not complacent, but said to the people in the palace, "You may all leave. I have something to say to Consort Xian."
"yes!"
The palace maids withdrew in response, but Qi Lan stopped in her tracks, fearing that Wan'er would be wronged again.
Wan'er noticed her worry and shook her head slightly to indicate that everything was alright, at which point Qi Lan withdrew.
Seeing that Wan'er was the only one left in the hall, Jing'er slowly walked in front of her and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask!"
Since she said that, Wan'er naturally didn't hold back and asked directly, "Do you not like the Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Jing'er was stunned for a moment before replying, "How could I not like the Emperor? You should know that I am the most jealous woman in the palace."
“No, you’re not.” Wan’er shook her head repeatedly. “If you really liked the Emperor, you wouldn’t have given me this.”
After speaking, she took out the small porcelain bottle and placed it in front of Jing'er.
Jing'er lowered her eyes and stared at the exquisite little porcelain bottle. "You drank it all?"
Wan'er remained silent, indicating her agreement.
Jing'er smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll poison you?"
Wan'er smiled as well, "With Her Majesty the Empress's shrewdness, she wouldn't be foolish enough to poison me under her real name."
After listening, Jing'er pondered for a moment, "You are much smarter than I thought. I originally thought you came here to ask me if I would suddenly hit you, but I didn't expect you to find out about this."
"It's too obvious; anyone with a little attention would notice," Wan'er said.
"How could that be?" Jing'er clearly didn't believe it; she thought she had done it flawlessly.
Wan'er explained, "Others try to present a perfect image in front of the Emperor, but you are different; you always try to do things that are disgusting."
Upon hearing this, Jing'er fell into deep thought. After a long while, she raised her eyes to look at Wan'er and said, "Besides my aunt, only you have figured this out."
Seeing that Wan'er knew her thoughts, Jing'er no longer hid it. She raised her head and said, "Yes, I don't like her. I like a hero who can shoot down eagles with a bow, not a fool who is trapped in a gilded cage and doesn't know the immensity of the world."
The fool she was referring to was none other than Fu Lin. If it weren't for pressure from her clan, she would rather live alone than marry him.
