Yan Muyun observed the Queen Mother's expression, and seeing that she was still smiling, she continued, "Although it was just a dream, I always feel uneasy in my heart, worried that something bad might happen to my elder sister in Changle Palace. So I would like to ask the Queen Mother to talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can you release my elder sister from her confinement?"

The Queen Mother looked at the maid beside her in confusion, and the maid explained, "I also heard that a few years ago, Concubine Yan seemed to have punished the newly appointed concubine of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince was furious and punished Concubine Yan to confine her to her house."

"When did the Changle Palace have a concubine for the crown prince? I have never heard anyone mention it. Whose family is she from?"

The nanny leaned over to whisper something in the Queen Mother's ear, and the Queen Mother's brows instantly knitted together, "Nonsense."

Yu Wantai chimed in, "It's really ridiculous. Yu Jintang was quite clever when he was young, but he has become more and more stupid as he grows up. He actually punished the imperial concubine Yudie because of an actor of lowly origin."

"You are still the same boy, just as outspoken as when you were little." The Queen Mother glanced at Yu Wantai unhappily, then turned to tell the maid, "Go to Changle Palace and tell her that I want to lift the confinement of Concubine Yan immediately."

"I will now order someone to go to Changle Palace to convey the Queen Mother's oral instructions."

After the nanny bowed and left, the Queen Mother looked at Yan Muxi and her sister, "You sisters can rest assured that I will teach the prince a lesson and will never let Concubine Yan suffer any more injustices."

The two of them quickly knelt down and saluted, "Your Highness, I and your niece-in-law thank you for your grace."

After getting up, Yan Muxi said again: "It's been a long time since we last saw Big Sister. We want to follow the imperial edict and go to Changle Palace to see Big Sister now!"

"Go ahead. I happen to be a little tired too!" The empress dowager waved her hand tiredly. Yan Muching was not only the granddaughter of Tutor Xue, but also the legitimate daughter of Minister Yan. The prince actually made things difficult for the girl from the powerful Yan family because of an actor. He must have felt that his position as crown prince was too secure.

In Changle Palace, Yan Muxi and his companions hurriedly headed straight for the West Palace without waiting for the eunuch to announce the Queen Mother's order.

This time, with Yu Wantai there, the guards at the gate didn't dare to stop them and let the key to the door be taken away.

Yu Wantai did not follow the prince's concubine into the residence. Only Yan Muxi and Yan Muyun, their master and servant, entered the palace.

Hearing the voice, Lan Shuang hurried out from the inner hall, "You are finally here, Miss Third, please go in and take a look at my concubine!"

A few people jogged all the way and entered the inner hall in just a few breaths.

Yan Muyun walked in front and went straight to the bed.

Yan Muqing was lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper, his hair wet with sweat, and he forced a smile when he saw a few people.

"You are here!"

Seeing that she could still smile, Yan Muxi felt relieved. From morning till now, she had been afraid that she would be late and meet someone without warmth.

She and Yan Muyun had agreed that when Yan Muqing was nine months pregnant, they would go to the palace early to ask the empress dowager to lift her house arrest. Unexpectedly, Yan Muqing had a seizure a month earlier, and they were caught off guard.

Yan Muyun carefully checked and breathed a sigh of relief. "The fetal head hasn't come down yet. Fortunately, the fetus is not big and the fetal position is normal. Big sister, please be strong. You will definitely be able to give birth safely."

Yan Muqing nodded slightly. The pain came and she clutched the quilt tightly. She couldn't help but groan softly, and new beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

It was Yan Muxi's first time watching someone give birth, so she couldn't help but clench her fists. When Yan Muqing looked better, she asked, "There's still a month left before the expected date of birth. Why did it happen so early?"

"It's my fault. I was not calm enough and that's why I got pregnant." Yan Muqing forced a bitter smile.

Lan Shuang said indignantly: "How can I blame you, Concubine? It was clearly because the Crown Prince and that little whore came to your house and bullied you, which caused you to have a premature birth."

After dinner last night, Yu Jintang came to the West Hall again. Yan Muqing still refused to see him and said some cruel and hurtful words.

I thought Yu Jintang would leave in anger like he did the previous times, but unexpectedly Qian Mei also ran to the West Hall.

Qian Mei knelt and kowtowed outside the palace, crying, begging Yan Muqing to forgive her for her previous recklessness, begging Yan Muqing to forgive the prince, and she also said that as long as Yan Muqing was willing to forgive the prince, she would rather die and let Yan Muqing vent his anger.

Yan Muqing was angry and said bluntly: "What's the point of talking? If you want to die, just die directly. Your fake acting is disgusting."

After hearing this, Qian Mei actually wanted to commit suicide by banging her head against the pillar. Of course, with Yu Jintang around, she would never die.

One cried and the other coaxed her, and the two of them quarreled until late at night before leaving together.

Lying on the bed in the second half of the night, Yan Muqing tried hard to convince himself not to think about the depression he had just felt, but he couldn't control it.

The tone of voice that Yu Jintang used when he coaxed Qian Mei, every word and every sentence he said, corroded her nerves like poison.

She never knew that Yu Jintang could say so many sweet words, and be so patient and gentle to other women besides her.

After tossing and turning for half the night, Yan Mucheng suddenly felt her stomach tightening as dawn approached.

At first she didn't take it seriously, but later her stomach started tightening more and more frequently. She realized something was wrong and quickly ordered Lan Shuang to drip blood to lure out the Gu.

After listening to Lan Shuang's account of what happened, Yan Muxi was about to ask a few more questions when there was a sudden noise outside.
