Quick Travel: Who taught you how to attack villains like this?

In Fengyi Palace, the queen was now more than eight months pregnant and her body was getting heavier. At this moment, she was being carefully supported by two palace maids as she walked slowly in the courtyard.

Since the queen became pregnant, there have been attempts to harm her and cause her to have a miscarriage.

However, due to Yu Yan's presence, these conspiracies and intrigues were properly handled by her before they even touched the queen.

Naturally, those who took action did not escape Yu Yan's punishment. Some were disfigured, and some became seriously ill.

At this point, everyone suddenly realized that all this was the Queen's counterattack.

Therefore, those concubines in the harem who had evil intentions had to restrain their thoughts.

Although they did not want to see the queen give birth to a legitimate son, they were more inclined to endure it temporarily than to risk damaging their own appearance or worrying about their lives.

Whether it was disfigurement or death, this was a fatal blow to the concubines.

Yu Yan had just returned from the Imperial Hospital with some medicine and was walking back to Fengyi Palace when she suddenly saw a person walking quickly in front of her.

Wei He had a tall and straight figure, and the eunuch's uniform looked very good on him.

I have to say, he is a natural clothes hanger.

It’s a pity that her face is too ordinary.

Wei He's face was terribly gloomy at this time, and his eyes revealed a chilling aura, as if he might explode at any time.

Yu Yan thought of the news she had just learned this morning, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a knowing smile. Then, she took the initiative to greet Wei He: "Eunuch Wei, what's wrong? Who made you angry?"

During this period of time, although Concubine Shu did not directly attack the Queen's belly, she often made sarcastic remarks, making the Queen's life very unhappy.

As Wei He and Yu Yan were the confidants of Concubine Shu and the Queen respectively, they naturally became enemies and often fought each other in secret.

At this moment, when Wei He heard Yu Yan's greeting, the expression on his face was no longer as gloomy as before, but still looked extremely indifferent.

He stared at Yu Yan with a sharp gaze like a knife, and replied coldly: "Why bother asking? I guess the Prime Minister's Mansion has already passed the news to the palace early in the morning, and you are planning how to step on her!"

"Are you referring to the news that Concubine Shu's brother was defeated in the battle?"

Yu Yan curled her lips into a cold smile, and looked at Wei He calmly, "If this is the news, then we already know it. However, I believe that in a day or two, everyone in the harem will know about it. This is not a big news."

There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice, as if telling Wei He that the information they had was nothing special.

When Wei He heard this, his face darkened, but he quickly regained his composure.

After a moment, Wei He seemed to have thought of something. The gloom on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a confident smile.

He looked at Yu Yan and said slowly: "The emperor is now planning to deal with the general who guards the country. The next one is the prime minister. We are all the same. Don't rush to make fun of us."

Yu Yan did not show a panic expression as he expected, but was very calm and said: "Since the emperor can no longer tolerate us, why don't we join forces!"

"what?"

Wei He was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Yu Yan didn't say it a second time, but just looked at him quietly.

After a long while, Wei He seemed to have just digested her words. He sneered and said, "Everyone knows that the Queen and Concubine Shu are mortal enemies. You said you want to join forces? Oh, who would believe this? I'm afraid that I'll have to be on guard against you stabbing me in the back!"

Yu Yan said seriously, "If we become a family, we won't be afraid of being stabbed in the back."

Wei He was somewhat confused by her words and asked in confusion: "...What family do you mean?"

Yu Yan explained seriously: "We became sworn sisters, and now we are a family."

Wei He's eyes widened in shock, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Shit, is she sick?

What sworn sisters? How could she say that?

He's a man, okay?

Seeing that he was silent and looked at her with complicated eyes, Yu Yan thought for a moment and continued, "If you don't agree, then we can get married. But you are a eunuch and cannot get married. According to our situation, it should be called a couple."

Wei He was shocked. He had never thought that there would be such a bold woman who would dare to say such words.

His face turned red instantly and he felt extremely embarrassed.

Then under Yu Yan's serious gaze, Wei He fled in panic after Yu Yan said these shocking words.

In Fengyi Palace, Concubine Shu was shaking with anger, cursing and smashing things.

Outside the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs who heard the sound of things being thrown inside were all so scared that they knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, for fear that Concubine Shu would take her anger out on them.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the palace was already in a mess, and Concubine Shu fell to the ground, crying silently.

Wei He stood quietly behind her until he saw that she had stopped losing her temper. Then he slowly walked forward, helped her up, and said, "My eldest brother has been detained and will be escorted back to Beijing for interrogation soon. If you want to save him, father must hand over the military power."

However, Concubine Shu retorted excitedly: "Can handing over the military power guarantee the safety of our entire family? The emperor is obviously planning to take action against our family!"

Her face was full of anger and hatred, and her originally beautiful face became distorted at this moment.

Wei He looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, and slowly said, "I have made preparations over the years. I asked my father and others to resign. In order not to disappoint the court officials, the emperor would certainly agree and would not kill them all openly. I trained a group of troops in Yaozhou, and they..."

"This is not the place to talk."

Concubine Shu suddenly interrupted him and covered his mouth with her hand.

Wei He took her hand away and said with disdain, "In the entire Fengyi Palace, if there is news that I don't want to spread, then it will definitely not be spread."

"You have to be careful then."

Concubine Shu sighed and said in a low voice.

Wei He sneered, "Father has no other way to go. If you don't follow my advice, your whole family will die without a burial place."

After a moment of silence, Concubine Shu shook her head helplessly, "But my father will not agree. To him, this is really treasonous."

Wei He frowned. "Should we just let the sword hang over our heads and wait for it to fall?"

Concubine Shu sighed softly, "Although my father is in a high position and has great power, he has been deeply favored by the late emperor and will never betray the court."

Rebellion? A man like my father would never do such a thing.

Even though he is in a high position and powerful, and is a little arrogant now, and does not take the current emperor seriously, he will not rebel against the country.

Not only that, but I will also swear to protect this country to the death.

Wei He gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment and anger.

Suddenly, he thought of what Yu Yan had said to him, and whispered, "Why don't we join forces with the Queen? When she gives birth to the child, we will join forces to push her child to the throne. This way, it won't be considered as a rebellion against the Xiao family."

After hearing what he said, Concubine Shu looked at him in surprise, "Teaming up with the Queen? Are you crazy or am I crazy? She and I are mortal enemies."
