But even so, this position is not something Yuan Zhan can dream of. If he can assist Yuan Xi, and wait for Yuan Xi to succeed to the throne, perhaps there will still be a place for him. Otherwise, he will only bring about his own destruction.
Concubine Wan sat in the sedan chair, deep in thought, with a hint of coldness in her expression.
Arriving at the emperor's bedroom, she carefully adjusted her makeup and clothes, and walked in slowly.
"Your Majesty, may you be well and healthy." Concubine Wan bowed respectfully.
"Empress Wan! Your good son has made great achievements on this border. How should I reward you?"
The candlelight was dim in the night. Concubine Wan raised her eyes but could not see the emperor's expression clearly. Tears flowed down her cheeks. Seeing a beautiful woman crying made me feel pity. She knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Zhan has been separated from me since he was born. The relationship between him and me is weak. I am afraid I cannot help you share your worries."
This reminded the emperor of the time when Concubine Wan sacrificed herself to save the prince. His expression eased and he said, "Yun Shang, I know this is not your fault. Well, you can leave. I am the one who has fallen into a nightmare."
Concubine Wan lowered her eyebrows and said, "I remember that when Yuan Zhan was first recognized, the first time he asked the emperor was to give that foster son a title. Perhaps that person has always been unworthy in Yuan Zhan's heart."
The emperor's gaze, which had just been withdrawn, fell on Concubine Wan again. He was silent for a moment and said, "She was born into a merchant family, and she is not worthy of being the prince's adopted daughter. I already know. So, forget it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."

Tu Yufan was still resting on the couch. When he heard the noise outside, he opened his eyes and his expression instantly became clear.
"There are a lot of people outside."
Seeing a group of armored soldiers rushing in aggressively, the servants in the mansion wanted to ask who they were, but were kicked aside. Tu Yufan sat up as if nothing had happened and helped the injured servant up.
"In compliance with the Emperor's order, we are here to protect the County Marquis. Please do not leave this house. If you need anything, please let us know."
Tu Yufan looked at this scene strangely. It seemed that he was under house arrest. As expected, the emperor was still afraid and actually wanted to use him to restrain Yuan Zhan.
In fact, this emperor was a wise ruler. At least he did not make any big mistakes. He ruled the country well and the people lived a relatively good life. He was just too unlucky. He encountered rebellions time and time again. The fact that he was still able to sit firmly on the throne now can only be attributed half to luck.
When Yuan Zhan received the news that Tu Yufan was under house arrest, he was speechless.
Did the emperor still think that Tu Yufan could be his weak spot? It would be a miracle if those chickens and dogs in the capital city could really trap Tu Yufan.
His father was a pervert. When he was a kid learning martial arts, he was often beaten by his father and cried loudly. He thought he could avenge himself when he grew up, but - in the end, nothing happened. He was still beaten with a black eye and a swollen face. But he stopped crying loudly for the sake of face.
But since the emperor wants peace of mind, just play along with him in this drama.
Yuan Zhanqi took a letter back to the emperor, expressing his loyalty to Yan Kingdom and the emperor. At the end, he pretended to be anxious to write that Tu Yufan had done him a favor and hoped that the emperor would treat him well.
Afterwards, the emperor judged that Tu Yufan's status in Yuan Zhan's heart was higher than he had imagined, and he doubled the number of soldiers to monitor Tu Yufan.
