Zhen Huan did not show up until just before the banquet.

Without Zhen Huan, the nine linked rings presented by Moge were solved by Princess Shuhe.

The emperor noticed Princess Shuhe, who had always been unpopular, and after the banquet, he promoted Princess Shuhe to Princess Gulun Shuhe.

Moge asked for a prescription to treat the epidemic and left the capital with his men, without mentioning the matter of Zhen Huan's marriage.

Because she was still in confinement, Meng Jingxian remained in the capital.

It was already the next day when the news came.

Upon hearing the news of Zhen Huan's disappearance, Meng Jingxian finally put her mind at ease.

Looking at her son who was sleeping soundly, Meng Jingxian's heart, which had just been relieved, became heavy again.

The emperor is afraid of Prince Guo, and Zhen Huan is just the trigger. I wonder what trigger he will use to deal with Prince Guo next time.

Time passed and it was autumn, but Zhen Huan's body was still missing.

Without Zhen Huan, the Fourth Prince obviously no longer has the same aura as before.

Imperial Noble Consort Duan was close to the Fourth Prince, but the Emperor did not like their contact.

The emperor gave Princess Lingxi to Imperial Noble Consort Duan, and told her to take good care of the princess and not think about anything else.

Noble Consort Duan knew that the emperor was wary of her mother's family, so she took the two princesses and lived in seclusion.

After everyone returned to the palace, the emperor summoned Meng Jingxian into the palace and asked her to bring Yuan Che with her.

Hongzhou was dead, and even if the emperor saw Yuanche, he would not associate it with anything, so Meng Jingxian was summoned into the palace.

Concubine Jing has now become the ultimate winner, and shares power in the palace with Concubine Ning.

When Meng Jingxian entered the palace, it was Concubine Jing who came out to receive her.

After the two exchanged greetings, the emperor brought Ye Lanyi over.

After some formalities, the emperor asked the wet nurse to bring Yuan Che to him for a look.

Looking at the swaddling Yuan Che, the emperor praised: "Mrs. Meng, you have done a great job. You have raised Yuan Che to be very strong. Good."

Meng Jingxian bowed her head and thanked him: "I thank the emperor for his praise. It is my honor to bear a child for the Aixinjueluo family."

The emperor was satisfied and said to Su Peisheng, "Prepare to reward it to Meng."

Su Peisheng accepted the order: "Yes."

Meng Jingxian thanked the emperor and said, "I would like to thank the emperor for his grace. Long live the emperor."

The emperor left first, and Ye Lanyi stayed behind, using the excuse of chatting with Concubine Jing about palace affairs.

After Meng Jingxian left, Ye Lanyi quickly followed.

After sending away the people around her, Meng Jingxian looked at Ye Lanyi quietly.

There was no more hostility in Ye Lanyi's eyes, but her tone was still as cold as before. She only said, "You are living a carefree life. The prince is yours alone."

Meng Jingxianyi heard this and said in an inexplicably low voice: "Since the death of Concubine Xi's son, the prince has only returned to the palace once, which was the day Yuan Che was born. You are all the same, you all wanted but couldn't get it."

Ye Lanyi sneered: "Same? You have the prince's offspring."

Meng Jingxian raised her head, her eyes slightly red as she said, "It was just me who forced him to do it. The prince got drunk by me that day and mistook me for her."

Both of them knew who she was and looked at each other in silence.

Thinking of the emperor's suspicion, Meng Jingxian was silent for a few breaths and then said: "You also know the precedents of the emperor's treatment of his brothers and sisters. The late emperor had so many sons, and now only the prince and Shen Beile are still free. The prince was quite favored by the late emperor. I am afraid that one day the emperor will treat the prince like he treated the Eighth Master or the Fourteenth Master."

Ye Lanyi narrowed her eyes and said, "Do you think I'm a knife? After killing Zhen Huan, you're going to kill the emperor?"

Meng Jingxian shook her head: "You two share the same pain, so I share my feelings with you. We all love the prince deeply, but we all know that the prince is in a bad situation."

Ye Lanyi snorted coldly and left. Before leaving, she said, "You are smarter than Zhen Huan. It seems that she is unlucky now, and your luck is yet to come."
