"Sister An, please stand up and sit down. Why did you decide to come to my Xiyan Palace today?"
Su Jingyao raised her hand to signal her to stand up, but her belly was particularly big now, so the movement seemed a little difficult, so she just moved her hands gently.
An Jinyan sat on the other side of the couch.
"Sister, not only is it warm as spring here, but the whole house is filled with treasures given by His Highness and the Queen. I am so envious."
An Jinyan smiled, with a hint of joking in her tone.
"If my sister likes anything, I will give it to her."
Su Jingyao had a gentle smile on her face and her voice was soft.
"Thank you, sister. However, these are all His Highness's favors to you. How can I accept them so easily?"
Afterwards, she exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then her eyes began to flicker, as if she wanted to express something unspeakable.
"Sister An, do you have anything to say to me?"
Su Jingyao frowned slightly and asked with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Sister, in the past month, His Highness has been too cold to me. He has not even set foot in Xiyun Palace. Is it because His Highness has blamed me for all the mistakes made by the Crown Princess?"
An Jinyan lowered her head, tears in her eyes, and her voice carried a hint of grievance and resentment.
Su Jingyao sighed softly on the surface, expressing her heartache for her experience, and almost couldn't hold back her laughter in her heart.
She actually guessed it right.
"Your Highness and the Crown Princess have a deep affection for each other. The Crown Princess kept saying that it was because of you that she served that cake, which almost caused Tang Fengyi to have a miscarriage. Your Highness must be somewhat dissatisfied with you."
After hearing this, An Jinyan seemed a little anxious. She raised her head and stared at Su Jingyao closely.
"Sister, what should I do? I adore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I don't want Him to hate me. Please help me, sister."
Su Jingyao frowned slightly, with an embarrassment on her face.
"Sister An, I don't have any good solution for this... Your Highness doesn't like fighting between women, and Your Highness has complete trust in the Crown Princess."
"If Sister An wants His Highness to see your sincerity, you still have to rely on time to slowly move His Highness and let him see your sincerity."
An Jinyan became more and more anxious. How could she impress His Highness?
His Highness is now very busy with state affairs. He is either visiting the concubine in Xiyan Palace or going to Qiluan Palace, and occasionally summoning the other three newcomers.
Now His Highness never sets foot in Xiyun Palace.
But how can Your Highness blame her for the Crown Princess’ mistake?
Now she, the Crown Princess and Tang Fengyi are all at loggerheads. If Tang Fengyi's child is born, won't there be no place for her to stay?
An Jinyan's eyes were filled with worry and uneasiness.
"Sister, I really didn't harm Tang Fengyi's child."
An Jinyan's eyes were full of earnestness and sincerity, she hoped Su Jingyao could believe her.
"Sister, could you please say a few good words for me in front of His Highness?"
Su Jingyao showed worry on her face, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, as if there were some things she found difficult to say.
Seeing her like this, An Jinyan became even more anxious. She leaned forward slightly, with a hint of anxiety in her voice.
"Sister, you can say whatever you want to say."
Su Jingyao stared at An Jinyan closely, bit her lip, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, and she hesitated for a moment.
"Come closer, sister."
When An Jinyan heard this, she was slightly stunned, but still slowly leaned over.
Su Jingyao lowered her voice and spoke at a volume that only the two of them could hear.
"Last time when I paid my respects to you, I seemed to smell a hint of mugwort on Tang Fengyi..."
An Jinyan frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean, sister?"
"For pregnant women, mugwort is a way to forcibly preserve the fetus regardless of the mother's body. I just guessed that Tang Fengyi would force the birth of this baby regardless of the mother's safety."
Su Jingyao sighed slightly and continued, "The grandson born by Tang Fengyi at the cost of his life may be adopted by the Crown Princess. Sister An should make plans early. Alas..."
These were naturally all made up by Su Jingyao. Even if Doctor Hu wanted to sacrifice the mother to save the child, he would not use mugwort blatantly. It was just an excuse. The result would be the same anyway.
Looking at An Jinyan's stupid look, she probably knows nothing.
After hearing this, An Jinyan's eyes revealed astonishment and confusion. Her pupils dilated slightly. She stared at Su Jingyao blankly, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
No wonder Tang Fengyi has been staying indoors lately. Could it be that her health is failing?
If the Queen and His Royal Highness really wanted to sacrifice the mother to save the son, and finally adopt the royal heir to the Crown Princess, wouldn't the Crown Princess's position be more secure?
Wouldn't that mean all her previous efforts were in vain?
What's more, she and the Crown Princess are now mortal enemies. How can she watch the Crown Princess rise again?
An Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, but the doubts in her heart did not disappear.
Why did the concubine say this to her?
Does he want to use her to bring down the Crown Princess?
A trace of fear suddenly surged in An Jinyan's heart, as if the concubine in front of her had become a little strange.
"Why did you tell me this, sister?"
An Jinyan's eyes were full of inquiry and doubt, and she wanted to see through Su Jingyao's true thoughts.
"Sister An, I just want to tell you that the Crown Princess is favored by His Highness and will have her own legitimate son in the future. When His Highness ascends the throne, the Crown Princess will be the legitimate queen."
