The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

If Yan Muxi knew what Concubine Xian was thinking, he would definitely say to her, "You're just bored after eating too much. Going hungry for two meals will definitely clear your mind."

However, she could roughly guess what Concubine Xian was thinking. She was too lazy to expose her, so she might as well tease her. "It's just a few cups of tea. Concubine Xian can drink as much as she wants. The rooms in Jinxiu Palace are also very luxurious. Concubine Xian can drink without worry."

It was considered rude for a woman to go to the bathroom outside. Concubine Xian blushed instantly, "How can you be so rude?"

Yan Muxi smiled with her eyes curved, "Why are you angry again, Sister Xianfei? We are sisters, don't be too jealous of my favor!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Concubine Xian was both embarrassed and annoyed.

Yan Muxi stood up and whispered in her ear, "Sister Xianfei is the legitimate daughter of the Dingnan Marquis's mansion. The emperor dare not let Sister Xianfei suffer any grievances. Sister Xianfei's honor and favor will come soon. If you don't believe it, Sister Xianfei, just wait and see."

After Concubine Xian left in confusion, Yu Shui whispered, "Young lady said Concubine Xian will soon be favored. Could it be that the emperor wants to use Marquis Dingnan?"

Yan Muxi smiled and did not deny it. Tens of thousands of soldiers from Luodu had been transferred away. If there was chaos in the northwest, only the southern border could withdraw troops to support the war. Moreover, the northwest would probably be in chaos soon.

Of the sixteen newly selected brides who entered the palace, Yu Jinzhou only favored Hua Jieyu, who had the highest rank, on the first night. After that, he never favored any new brides again. When he occasionally visited the harem, he would go to Jinxiu Palace and Xianfei's Yuhua Palace.

If you count carefully, the emperor went to Yuhua Palace the most times, and he summoned Concubine Xian to sleep with him in Qianqing Palace for three consecutive nights. After the incident with the evil concubine, Concubine Xian was still the most favored person in the harem.

In the past, Concubine Xian’s chin would have been raised to the sky. Although she is still spoiled and domineering now, she is no longer as conceited as before.

Everyone else thought that Concubine Xian had calmed down a bit because she had been confined twice. Only Yan Muxi knew that Concubine Xian no longer believed in the emperor's love and didn't care about honors and favors as much as before.

In mid-March, two consecutive thunderclaps resounded throughout Dafeng.

Shengjing, North Vietnam, was occupied by the Dingbei Army years ago, and North Vietnam fell completely.

King Dingbei led 160,000 Dingbei troops to capture Yicheng. Now the Dingbei army is less than 500 miles away from Luodu.

Yicheng is only separated from Luodu by Lincheng. If the Dingbei Army captures Lincheng, Luodu will be in danger, and the situation in Dafeng will probably change again.

Although the country was in trouble, not many people in Dafeng were truly angry or sad, because King Dingbei Yu Wantai was also a member of the Yu family. Even if he seized the throne from Yu Jinzhou, Dafeng was still Dafeng, it was just that someone else sat on the dragon throne, which made little difference to the people.

At the grand court meeting, after discussing the strategy to repel the enemy, a group of old-school ministers led by Censor Cao once again advised the emperor to execute the evil concubine.

Yu Jinzhou's face looked gloomy and terrifying, and he insisted that the current war had nothing to do with Concubine Yan.

Censor Cao burst into tears, "The country is in danger now. Your Majesty should no longer indulge in the arms of a gentle woman and be bewitched by the evil concubine! If you can make Your Majesty wake up, I am willing to die to prove my loyalty." After saying that, he stood up and rushed towards a pillar not far away.

"Quick, stop Lord Cao!" Yu Jinzhou shouted urgently.

The eunuch was ordered to stop him, but it was too late and he barely grabbed Censor Cao's clothes.

There was a loud bang, and Censor Cao fell to the ground after hitting the pillar. His forehead was bloodshot. Before he fainted, he was still muttering, "Your Majesty, please execute the evil concubine. Please execute the evil concubine..."

Witnessing this tragic and miserable scene, another minister cried out in a sad voice: "If it can make the emperor wake up, I am willing to die to prove my will." After saying this, he was about to hit the pillar, but was stopped by his colleagues beside him.

For a moment, the whole hall was filled with cries and shouts.

The veins on Yu Jinzhou's forehead suddenly bulged, his eyes turned red, and his lips moved a few times. Just when all the ministers thought that he would make up his mind to deal with Concubine Yan, he suddenly flicked his sleeves, turned around and left the hall.

What happened at the grand court meeting could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the harem. When the concubines came out of Ci'an Palace to pay their respects, Yan Muwan stopped Yan Muxi and said, "I have something to say to you. I wonder if you are free."

Yan Muxi was surprised for a moment, but soon understood Yan Muwan's intention. She was very curious about how weak their sisterhood could be, so she said, "I am always free. There is the Imperial Garden in front. How about we go for a walk in the garden?"

Yan Muwan nodded and agreed, "Okay."

In the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, Yan Muwan waved away the palace servants and hesitated for a moment before reluctantly speaking, "How do you plan to deal with the current situation, Second Sister?"

After many years, she finally heard the name "Second Sister", but Yan Muxi didn't really want to hear it now. She turned her eyes away and sighed, "I don't understand what the Queen means?"

Seeing her pretending to be stupid, Yan Muwan laughed bitterly, "Oh! Second sister is a smart person, she will understand what I mean. Right now, the emperor is being forced by the court officials and the people of the world. The emperor cherishes second sister so much, can second sister really bear to see the emperor suffer like this?"

Yan Muxi still pretended to be stupid. "I am just a weak woman. I cannot and should not get involved in the affairs of the court. The Queen is telling me this. Do you have any ideas or good opinions?"

Yan Muwan twisted the handkerchief in her hand, not daring to look up at Yan Muxi. After a long while, she took a deep breath and said slowly, "The emperor is having a hard time making up his mind. Wan'er thinks that the second sister should take the initiative to help the emperor resolve his worries."

Hearing this, Yan Muxi's eyes turned completely cold. It turned out that the old man was right. A dog that doesn't bark is the most cruel when it comes to hurting people.

She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, so she asked, "What does the Queen mean by this? Could it be that you want me to end my life?"

After saying this, Yan Muwan also risked her life, "Yu Wantai has led his troops to attack Lincheng. If he comes to seize the throne, how will my second sister deal with it? Neither side can survive in this world, so why can't my second sister take the initiative to choose to solve the emperor's worries."

Yan Muxi was so angry that she laughed, "So what if Yu Wantai comes to seize the throne? How do you know that I won't be able to survive in this world?"

"My second sister is Yu Wantai's first wife, and now she has become the emperor's concubine. How could Yu Wantai tolerate such a great humiliation? He will never let my second sister continue to live in this world." Yan Muwan's almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears, and she tried hard not to let them fall.

The remaining bit of rationality told her that Yan Muxi was her second sister who was related to her by blood, and she should not persuade her own sister to die.

But when she thought of the humiliation she had endured countless nights, she wanted Yan Muxi to disappear from this world, so that she would no longer have to endure the humiliation of being abused as a substitute.

"Whether Yu Jinzhou is in trouble or not has nothing to do with me, and whether Yu Wantai can accept the humiliation of having his wife taken away in the future has nothing to do with me. Yan Muwan, listen carefully, my life is my own, and unless I want to give it away, no one can easily take it away." After Yan Muxi said this, he stood up and left the pavilion.

"Second sister, second sister, I'm sorry, I'm really in pain, I'm sorry..." Yan Muwan lay on the stone table, crying inconsolably.

Yan Muxi heard the crying behind her, but she left without stopping or looking back.

There is no need to pick up the thin sisterhood that was thrown to the ground and stepped on a few times.
