"Sister An, please stand up and sit down. Why did you choose 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 house is also 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 there's anything my sister likes, I'll 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 the favors that His Highness shows 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 difficult to say.
"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, for the past month, His Highness has been so cold to me that he hasn't even set foot in Xiyun Palace. Is it because His Highness is blaming 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 are deeply in love, and the Crown Princess keeps saying that it was because of you that she served that pastry, which nearly 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 look on her face.
"Sister An, I don't have any good solution for this... Your Highness doesn't like fighting between women, and His Highness has complete trust in the Crown Princess."
"If Sister An wants His Highness to see your sincerity, she still needs time to slowly move His Highness and let him see your sincerity."
An Jinyan became more and more anxious. How could she move His Highness?
His Highness is already 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's 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 hurt 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."
An Jinyan was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she 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 health. I just guessed that Tang Fengyi would force the birth of this baby without regard for the mother's safety."
Su Jingyao sighed slightly and continued, "The grandson born by Tang Fengyi at the cost of his life might be adopted by the Crown Princess. Sister An should make plans early. Sigh..."
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 so blatantly. It was just an excuse. The result would be the same anyway.
Judging from An Jinyan's stupid look, she probably knows nothing.
After hearing this, An Jinyan's eyes showed astonishment and confusion, her pupils dilated slightly, and she stared blankly at Su Jingyao, 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 Highness really wanted to sacrifice the mother to protect the son, and finally adopt the royal heir to the Crown Princess, wouldn't the Crown Princess's position be even more secure?
Wouldn't that mean all her previous efforts were in vain?
What's more, she and the Crown Princess are now enemies who are as sworn enemies as fire and water. 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.
"Sister, why did you tell me this?"
An Jinyan's eyes were full of inquiry and doubt, trying 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 rightful empress."
