Upon hearing this, Ag's eyes flashed with a ferocious light. "She is just a servant girl. How can she compare to the Empress's child? It is already a blessing for the Empress and her son to raise him. Do you still want to treat them equally? Besides, even if they are brothers, it is difficult for parents to be fair."
"She is a servant, that's true, but she is still the Emperor's child, with Aisin Gioro blood flowing in her veins." Wan'er's tone was flat, as if she were talking about how nice the weather was today.
Her words made Ag even angrier, as if Yu Yan had really become a concubine and given birth to a prince.
Wan'er smiled slightly, but seeing Ag's pale and flushed expression, she was not very satisfied.
That's about it. Wan'er had been sitting for a long time and was starting to feel tired, so she said, "Why don't you take this Tianshan Snow Lotus back with you for now? When the hour of Hai arrives, I will talk to the Emperor about how to handle this matter. If needed, I will come to you."
After she finished speaking, she yawned a few times, and tears of sleepiness slid down her cheeks.
Seeing that Wan'er had already given the order to leave, Agge could not linger any longer. He could only retract the Tianshan Snow Lotus, curtsy and said, "In that case, Your Majesty must rest well. If you need me, I will be at your service at any time." After saying that, he turned and left, with the palace maids outside following closely behind him.
Inside the house, as soon as Ag left, Wan'er felt completely relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Seeing that the person had left, Qi Lan immediately went into the room and asked.
Wan'er shook her head and chuckled, "It's alright."
"Really?" Qi Lan asked with a puzzled look. "But I saw that the concubine didn't seem too happy."
"I just don't want her to be happy. As long as she's annoyed, I'm happier than anyone else," Wan'er said leisurely.
"Can…"
Just as Qi Lan was about to ask what the reason was, Wan'er suddenly interrupted, "You don't need to take care of me these two days. I need you to observe Yu Yan's every move and see who she is in contact with."
"But Your Majesty, your health..."
Wan'er was aware of Qi Lan's worries. "I'm fine. Besides, there are so many palace maids in the palace. You can rest assured."
After hesitating for a moment, Qi Lan nodded in agreement.
"Very well, I'll set off to take care of it right away." With that, she hurriedly left.
Wan'er watched Qi Lan's departing figure, a faint smile playing on her lips, as if she had guessed what Yu Yan would face next.
Yu Yan, oh Yu Yan, don't blame me for making things up. Since you want me dead, how could I possibly let you have it easy?
I thought I would have to wait until the next day to get the news, but to my surprise, Qi Lan returned in a hurry as soon as the evening was over.
Qi Lan, panting heavily, closed all the doors and windows, looking terrified, and said, "So... the concubine was the one who poisoned Yu Yan."
Upon hearing this, Wan'er's eyes revealed a meaningful look, "Exactly the same as what I was thinking."
"Your Majesty, you already knew?" Qi Lan asked, looking shocked.
"I only found out today," Wan'er said truthfully. "Tell me what those two are plotting."
"There was no conspiracy, but we started fighting as soon as we met," Qi Lan replied with a bow.
It turned out that less than an hour after Ag returned to the palace, Yu Yan quietly left her room. She thought Ag would give her some instructions, but unexpectedly, she was slapped several times.
Yu Yan looked completely bewildered and kept asking A Ge why he was acting this way, but A Ge didn't explain. Instead, he kept cursing and saying that Yu Yan was a little bitch who was pretending to be confused.
Perhaps it was because Wan'er had been too lenient with Yu Yan in the past that Yu Yan had become so arrogant and ignorant. In a fit of anger, she didn't know what she was doing and actually slapped Agge back.
This slap instantly stunned Ag, and the hatred in his eyes deepened significantly.
But Yu Yan disagreed, and even said that if Agge dared to hit her again, she would definitely tell the Emperor about poisoning Wan'er.
Having been caught red-handed, Ag could only suppress his dissatisfaction, stop what he was doing, glare fiercely at Yu Yan, and the meeting ended unhappily.
Upon hearing this, Wan'er burst into laughter, "It's a pity I didn't see it." She loved watching dogs fight.
"Your Majesty..." Qi Lan stamped her foot in worry, "How can you laugh at a time like this?"
"Why aren't you laughing?" Wan'er stopped laughing. "If you know who is harming you, dealing with them will be a piece of cake. I am not afraid of enemies, but I am afraid of not knowing whether the person in front of me is friend or foe."
Finding the idea somewhat reasonable, Qi Lan quickly nodded, then asked, "How does Your Majesty intend to deal with them?"
Wan'er's lips curled up slightly, "Have the Emperor bestow the title of Consort upon Yu Yan!"
"What?" Qi Lan was taken aback. "Is this meant to deal with them? Isn't this helping them?"
Wan'er patiently explained, "If Yu Yan becomes a concubine, what do you think will happen to Agge?"
After listening, Qi Lan suddenly realized, "The concubine will definitely be so angry that she'll grit her teeth."
Wan'er patted her shoulder approvingly, then whispered in her ear what she was going to do next.
"In this way, even if the Emperor himself came, she would not escape death." Qi Lan nodded in satisfaction. In just a few days, Wan'er had impressed her. She had been worried about Wan'er's future, but now it seemed there was no need to worry.
"This matter must not be known to any third party."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this servant will keep your mouth shut."
"very good."
Just as they were having a pleasant conversation, Yu Yan pushed open the door and entered with a dark expression. Her face was covered in handprints, clearly indicating that she had been severely punished.
"Qilan, you may leave now. I have something to say to Her Majesty," Yu Yan said, adopting the air of a mistress.
