"I thought there was no chance for them to turn things around, but who would have thought that after such a short time, they both came out unscathed." Concubine Xian felt that it was very unfair.

"Don't be angry, Your Majesty. I heard that when Concubine Chen and Concubine Shu went to the Purple Palace, His Majesty didn't pay any attention to them at all. Even if they were released from house arrest, His Majesty must be disgusted with them now."

"Besides, apart from the Crown Prince born to the Queen, the only person in the palace who has a prince is the Queen. The two of them cannot surpass you no matter what."

The maid's words made her feel a little relieved. "Yes, there must be a prince in this palace, otherwise there will be no one to rely on."

"That's what the queen said."

"Go back to the palace."

"Yes!"

Yihua Palace

Since returning yesterday, the gate of Yihua Palace has been closed.

Zhao Cairen sat in the bedroom all night. Caiwei walked in and saw her sitting on the ground. She hurried over and said, "Cairen, why are you sitting on the ground? The ground is cold. Get up first and take care of yourself."

"Who would worry about my health now?" Zhao Cairen's eyes were empty and lifeless, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were traces of tears on her face.

Caiwei felt sorry for her when she saw her like this, so she comforted her, "Your health is the most important thing!"

Zhao Cairen whispered, "These days are like a dream." She seemed to have had a dream, and when she woke up, she was back to her original form.

After all, Caiwei had served her for so long, and seeing her fall to this state, she couldn't bear it, "You still have a chance."

"Do I still have a chance?" Zhao Cairen asked self-deprecatingly with a tear falling from the corner of her eye.

Caiwei felt guilty, "You..."

Zhao Cairen smiled, but tears flowed down her face. "Even you don't believe I still have a chance?"

"From the temporary palace to the imperial palace, in just a few months, it really was like a dream. I gained His Majesty's favor, became pregnant with the royal heir, then had a miscarriage and fell out of favor. Now I'm completely despised by His Majesty. In the end, it was all in vain." Lady Zhao leaned back on the couch and slowly closed her eyes.

Caiwei said, "Do you regret it?"

Tears could not stop flowing from the corners of Zhao Cairen's eyes. She cried and said, "Regret? There is no use regretting."

"To be honest, the reason why His Majesty doted on you in the beginning was because you were different from the other concubines in the harem. When you first entered the palace, you were simple-minded and kind to others, but since you became pregnant with the heir, you have changed. You have become arrogant and even more unscrupulous."

"His Majesty is the emperor, and he is busy with many things. He cannot possibly indulge your temper all the time. Later, you had a miscarriage. One wrong step led to another. You pushed His Majesty further and further away, and even wore away His Majesty's love for you."

Only after the big dream is in vain can people listen to what others say. Zhao Cairen cried bitterly, regretting it too late, "It turns out that I was so wrong."

"You still have a chance. Even the Concubine Chen and the Concubine Shu were able to turn things around. You will definitely have a chance."

"The Concubine Chen and the Concubine Shu have their family backgrounds to support them, but what do I have?" Concubine Zhao asked while crying. She had nothing.

"you……"

"Cairen, what should we do next? Have you thought about it?" Caiwei looked at her expectantly.

"What else can I do? Let's take it one step at a time! But this Yihua Palace will probably be my cold palace from now on!" Zhao Cairen said with a wry smile.

"Hold on!"

Weiyang Palace

Zheng Xiyan sat down to have breakfast and asked, "Is everything ready at Yihua Palace?"

"Everything has been arranged. Lady Zhao will not have a hard time." Biluo reported.

"That's good." Zheng Xiyan helped her, not because she wanted to be a good person, but this person! Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, some things, in the future, who can guarantee that they will not happen?

Shuang Ning asked in confusion: "Madam, why are you helping Zhao Cairen?"

"She is not completely useless." Helping her is of course because she is still useful.

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have both disliked her now. What use is there for her?"

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "Maybe it will be useful in the future. Let's let her live well in this palace first. Zirui, when you have time, go to Yihua Palace more often and bring some things to Caiwei."

"The servant knows."

One month later

That day, Doctor Zhang came to check Ping An's pulse. After checking his pulse, Doctor Zhang said, "The dragon is healthy and everything is fine."

After Zheng Xiyan asked about other matters, she asked about Wen Chongyi's health, "How is Wen Chongyi these days?"

Doctor Zhang said seriously, "Reporting to the Queen, Wen Chongyi seems to be pregnant."

"Looks like she's pregnant?" Zheng Xiyan frowned slightly.

"The month is too early now, so I cannot be sure." Doctor Zhang said in a deep voice.

"Does Wen Chongyi know it herself?"

"I don't know yet." Doctor Zhang asked cautiously, "Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."

Zheng Xiyan thought for a moment and said, "If she is really pregnant with a dragon heir, she must be taken good care of and ensure that the dragon heir is safe."

Doctor Zhang thought that the Empress didn't want Wen Chongyi to give birth to a prince. "Then I understand. I will take my leave."

"Go back!"

"Yes!"

After Doctor Zhang left, Biluo asked, "Your Majesty, if Wen Chongyi is really pregnant with a dragon heir, Your Majesty..."

"Do you think that I won't let Wen Chongyi's child be born safely?" Zheng Xiyan raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

"Your Majesty... That's not what I meant. Wen Chongyi and Your Majesty have a childhood sweetheart relationship, and she is also the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor. Your Majesty will always treat her differently from others. I am worried..."

"There is nothing to worry about. Ji'er is the legitimate eldest son. As long as he does nothing wrong, no one can shake his position, and I will not allow anyone to shake Ji'er's position." Zheng Xiyan knew that Biluo was thinking about her, but she disdained to harm an innocent child.

"Xu Chongyuan and Zhao Cairen's child is gone, and Wen Chongyi's child must be born safely. Otherwise, if someone takes advantage of the situation, I, the queen, will be the first to bear the brunt and be blamed."

"Yes, it was I who had evil intentions. Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Biluo knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness.

Shuang Ning beside him also knelt down, "My Lady, Biluo..."

"Okay, get up." Zheng Xiyan asked them to get up and said in a deep voice, "I know you are all doing this for my own good, but I don't want to do this kind of thing."

"I am not a good person, but I will never do something dirty that would harm others." Zheng Xiyan looked at the two of them with a serious expression. This was also a warning to them. They were loyal to her, and she had never doubted this.

But because of this loyalty, it is possible that good intentions may lead to bad results.

"Yes, I've remembered this and will never have such thoughts again in the future." Biluo replied quickly with a firm look in her eyes.

"Get up!" Zheng Xiyan smiled faintly at the two of them.

"Yes."

"Help me go out for a walk!" Zheng Xiyan raised her hand and the two of them came forward to support her. She was now more than seven months pregnant and it was becoming increasingly inconvenient for her to move.

"Yes."

In the courtyard, Shuang Ning said with a smile: "Zi Rui and Zi Luo both said that the queen is giving birth to a prince this time."

Zheng Xiyan said as she walked, "I really want a princess, but it's better to give birth to a prince now."

"Your Majesty will definitely have a princess in the future. You will be the most blessed one to have both a son and a daughter." Biluo said with a smile.

"You are so sweet." Zheng Xiyan's mouth curled up. Yes! She must be the most blessed person in the world.

The eunuch in front of the emperor led a group of eunuchs into the Weiyang Palace, "Your servant greets the Empress, may the Empress be blessed with good health."

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Queen."
