Ji Shuangshuang suddenly felt even more aggrieved. "This little bitch only knows how to act pitiful. The emperor actually listens to her in everything. Doesn't the emperor have any judgment at all? He is being led by a woman by the nose!"

"Hush!" Chang Ru immediately made a gesture to keep quiet, "You can't say that, Your Majesty. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."

Ji Shuangshuang felt extremely aggrieved. "What's so good about this harem? It's just a cage!"

"Sister, listen to my advice. Don't quarrel with the emperor. Make peace with him quickly. Otherwise, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable to you."

"Asking me to coax the emperor like that vixen Wei Yan? Absolutely impossible! What's the difference between Wei Yan's behavior and the way a girl in a brothel treats her customers?"

"You are a guest in the brothel, and the emperor is your husband, the man you love."

"Who said I love the emperor!" Ji Shuangshuang retorted loudly.

"Sister, you...you don't love the emperor? Then why are you in the parade ground with the emperor..." Chang Ru pretended to be shocked.

Ji Shuangshuang put all the instructions given by Princess Ning Xi behind her, took Chang Ru's hand, and explained seriously: "Sister, I was tricked that day! And I am very sure that the person who tricked me was Ji Chuhe!"

"The Crown Prince's wife? She has no grudge against you, so why would she plot against you? Besides, there is no benefit for her in letting you enter the palace as a concubine?" Chang Ru pretended not to understand.

"She is just afraid that I will marry the prince." Ji Shuangshuang blurted out.

"You're marrying the prince? How is that possible? Isn't the purpose of your coming to the imperial capital to enter the palace?"

"My father said that I can choose to marry the person I like. The person I like is... Xiao Yan'an, not the emperor. I don't want to enter the palace! It's all Ji Chuhe's fault that I have fallen to this point today!" Ji Shuangshuang gritted her teeth when she mentioned the three words Ji Chuhe.

"Now that you've said it, I finally understand. No wonder you don't care that the emperor was taken away by Wei Yan. You've suffered so much injustice, being forced to lose your virginity to the emperor, and being imprisoned in this harem! Sister doesn't even know that you have so many injustices."

"I have already entered the palace, and I don't know if I can leave here in this lifetime." Ji Shuangshuang felt despair in her heart.

"Sister, are you so willing to accept your fate?"

"I am unwilling to accept this! But what else can I do? The die is cast. However, I will not let Ji Chuhe go!"

"Ji Chuhe is very smart and difficult to deal with. You must be careful, otherwise, you may suffer a great loss. Also, she has the Huaiyang Palace and the Rongguo Palace behind her. If you are not careful, she will follow in my footsteps."

"Sister, follow in your footsteps? What does that mean?"

"My father's corruption case was exposed by Prince Huaiyang and Ji Chuhe. Ji Chuhe and I have some grudges." Chang Ru stopped at that point, leaving Ji Shuangshuang room for imagination.

"I have heard of Ji Chuhe. She is insidious and cunning. Many people have fallen into her hands."

"Sister, let me remind you of one more thing." Chang Ru looked around cautiously and whispered in Ji Shuangshuang's ear, "As far as I know, the King of Huaiyang has a rebellious heart. You can tell your father about this and ask him to be prepared. I'm worried that the reforms in the army are intended to disintegrate the general's power."

"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely tell father about this."

Ji Shuangshuang was not surprised at these words, because when her father asked her to choose between Xiao Yanan and Xiao Wenxuan, she understood what he meant.

Chang Ru also heard from Ji Shuangshuang that General Ji asked Ji Shuangshuang to choose someone she liked. Ji Shuangshuang liked Xiao Yan'an, which meant that as long as Ji Shuangshuang chose Xiao Yan'an, General Ji would most likely support Xiao Yan'an!

Finally, she got all the information she wanted to know.

It also gave her a little hope.

It is really a way out of despair.

As long as she can convince General Ji to support her, there will be a chance of a turnaround.

……

As usual, news from the palace reached Ji Chuhe.

Wei Yan competed for favor, and Ji Shuangshuang was put under house arrest.

Chang Ru went to visit immediately.

Moreover, Chang Ru talked to Ji Shuangshuang for a long time with great caution.

There is no way to find out what they talked about specifically.

"Madam, what did Chang Ru talk about with Ji Shuangshuang? Why did Ji Shuangshuang believe Chang Ru so much? She doesn't trust Princess Ning Xi that much, right?" Xiao Yan'an was puzzled.

"Ji Shuangshuang's brain can't hide things. Chang Ru may have already known that the person she likes is you, not the emperor."

"Ji Shuangshuang dares to reveal this?" Xiao Yan'an was speechless.

"Whether she revealed it or not, we will know it by looking at Chang Ru's reaction when General Ji comes to the capital. Chang Ru's purpose of approaching Ji Shuangshuang must be to persuade General Ji to bet on the child in her belly."

"It's still unknown whether it's a boy or a girl, how can we bet?"

"As long as you are willing to bet, it doesn't matter whether it is a boy or a girl."

"How dare they confuse the royal bloodline?!"

"Could it be that the Grand Empress Dowager doesn't dare? You see how calm the Grand Empress Dowager is. She must be holding back a big move. Recently, the Imperial Guards and the Inner Court Guards have been frequently transferred. Hasn't the Cao family been eyeing the position of Grand Commandant? There is no need to rush now. The eldest son of the Cao family has become the commander of the Imperial Guards."

"Have they all gone crazy for the sake of power?"

"Isn't it? But this is the day we've been waiting for."

……

General Nan entered the imperial capital one day earlier than General Ji.

The Empress Dowager, who had not appeared for a long time, unexpectedly returned to the court and openly reminisced with General Nan in the court.

"After not seeing you for so many years, General Nan is still as charming as ever."

"Your Majesty, your words really make me very happy, but I know myself well. I have no elegance at all. I am buried up to my neck in the dirt. Look at my head full of white hair."

"General Nan is still strong at his age. Back then, General Nan followed the late emperor to the battlefield and made great achievements! When I entered the palace, it was General Nan who personally escorted me."

"Grand Empress Dowager, I didn't expect you to still remember this."

"How could I forget?"

The Empress Dowager and General Nan were talking to each other at the same time, and outsiders had no chance to get a word in.

Xiao Wenxuan's mood also sank to the bottom.

No wonder General Nan had never given him any response. As soon as he asked General Nan to come to the imperial capital, General Nan agreed to come.

Judging from today's situation, is there anything else to say?

General Nan naturally stood on the side of the Empress Dowager.

However, fortunately, Ji Shuangshuang entered the harem and became his concubine. General Ji will definitely support him.

After meeting General Ji, there was no need for Chang Ru to continue carrying the baby.

Finally, the Empress Dowager and General Nan ended their greetings.

"I have already ordered people to prepare the palace. General Nan, please rest in the palace first. When General Ji arrives in the imperial capital tomorrow, I will prepare a welcoming banquet for you all."

"Yes." General Nan responded immediately.
