Before the director of the hospital and the imperial physician Lin arrived, the fetus in Jiapin's belly fell out, and from beginning to end, the emperor never came to Biluxuan to take a look.

When Yan Muxi learned that Concubine Jia had a miscarriage, she could only sigh.

The reinforcements that were supposed to go to the southeast to suppress bandits appeared in the northwest. As the leader of the reinforcements, Qin Xuan was bound to take the blame for the emperor, and the decline of the Qin family became a foregone conclusion.

With her mother's family in decline, Jiapin has no one to rely on, and she is no longer of any use to Yu Jinzhou. If she gives birth to Yu Jinzhou's child, the future of both mother and child will be difficult. The current chaos is constant, so it is better to lose the child as soon as possible, so as to avoid the destined suffering in the next life.

The eunuch pulled Cao Yushi who hit his head against the pillar that day, reducing the impact, and the wound on his forehead was not fatal. But even so, the censor's action of hitting his head against the pillar still made the voices of the people in the streets to execute the evil concubine even louder than before.

Because it concerned her daughter's life, Qian Manman sent people out to inquire about the news every day. She was so worried that she lost her appetite and could not sleep at night.

Minghui and Liu's mother repeated the words of persuasion thousands of times, but still could not ease her worry and anxiety.

When he heard that scholars and common people were going to cause trouble in front of the Meridian Gate, he was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

When she woke up the next day, Qian Manman insisted on having the servants prepare a carriage to enter the palace, despite Minghui and Liu Mama's attempts to stop her.

No one was allowed to enter the palace without being summoned by the master of the palace. When Qian Manman arrived at the palace gate, she asked the imperial guards guarding the gate to help pass the message to Changchun Palace.

When Yan Muwan learned that Qian Manman was waiting at the palace gate, she hesitated for a moment and then ordered the eunuch to go to the palace gate and take her to Changchun Palace.

When Qian Manman saw Yan Muwan, she even forgot to greet him and asked anxiously, "Is your second sister doing well these days?"

Meeting Yan Muwan's indifferent eyes, she was startled and quickly knelt down to greet him, "Your Majesty, the Queen! I was so worried about Concubine Yan that I lost my manners for a moment. I hope the Queen will not blame me."

Yan Muwan walked forward and helped Qian Manman up. "We are all family. How can a daughter blame her mother? Mother, don't worry too much. Concubine Yan is fine. She is staying in Jinxiu Palace!"

Qian Manman heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "It's good that the Imperial Concubine is fine. Then can I go to Jinxiu Palace to see the Imperial Concubine?"

"Mother, you are being too polite. Mother just wants to go to Jinxiu Palace to take a look. Would I stop you?" Yan Muwan turned around and told the eunuch beside her, "Take Madam Yan to Jinxiu Palace."

When Qian Manman followed the eunuch out of the palace gate, Yan Muwan's close maid Lian Xiang asked in confusion, "If the queen doesn't like Concubine Yan, why did she break the rules and let the mother and daughter meet?"

"It's not a big deal. After all, we'll see each other less and less. Why should I stop you?" Yan Muwan sighed and lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.

At present, the Dingbei Army has already arrived at Lincheng. At today's grand court meeting, all the civil and military officials will certainly force the emperor to deal with Concubine Yan. Since ancient times, no emperor has loved beauty more than the country. So no matter how much the emperor loves the second sister, he will compromise and push her out sooner or later.

In Jinxiu Palace, Qian Manman saw her daughter and burst into tears before she could say anything, "Xijie, seeing that you are fine, mother can finally rest assured!"

Yan Muxi frowned. It was definitely not a wise move for A'niang to run into the palace at this time.

After perfunctorily saying a few words to comfort her, she asked directly, "Dad, do you know that Mom has entered the palace?"

Qian Manman choked up and shook her head, "When I left, your father hadn't returned yet. I couldn't wait to discuss it with him, so I took the initiative to come here on my own."

Hearing this, Yan Muxi's brows knitted even tighter. He wanted to open his mouth to scold the person, but seeing how pitifully the person was crying, he swallowed back his complaints.

The palace was no different from a cage. Yu Shui and Dong Yu were both skilled in martial arts and could be great helpers to her. A Niang was powerless and would only be a burden to her if anything happened. But since they were already here, there was no point in complaining.

"My daughter is doing fine in the palace, mother, please don't worry too much. If you have nothing else to do, you should leave the palace and return home as soon as possible! In order to avoid worrying father."

Qian Manman was stunned, not understanding why her daughter was in such a hurry to send her away when she had just arrived. Just as she was about to ask a few questions, she heard Yu Shui clear her throat and said, "It seems someone is coming outside. I will go out to greet them."

After a short while, the emperor's personal eunuch followed the rain into the palace and said with a smile: "The emperor learned that Madam Yan had entered the palace, so he specially ordered me to convey his instructions. The emperor thought that Imperial Concubine Yan had been feeling bored recently, so he allowed Madam Yan to stay in the palace for a few days to accompany Imperial Concubine Yan."

Yan Muxi felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart. She closed her eyes and looked at the eunuch with a smile on her face. "Eunuch, please treat me well. I thank the emperor for his sympathy."

Qian Manman was a little confused. After hearing her daughter thanking the emperor, she quickly bowed and thanked him, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

After sending the eunuch away, Qian Manman no longer cared about being sad. "Why did the emperor suddenly let me stay in the palace? I haven't prepared anything, and I haven't asked for your father's consent. I don't even bring a change of clothes."

Yan Muxi looked helpless, "Mother, you only feel that something is wrong now, don't you think it's too late?"

Qian Manman didn't expect her to say this, and she hurriedly explained, "Mother is just too worried about you, Sister Xi. You are in the palace, so you definitely don't know how serious the situation is outside. They, they all..." Qian Manman didn't dare to tell the truth for fear that her daughter would be scared.

Yan Muxi sneered, "They said I was a scoundrel who brought disaster to the country and called on the emperor to execute me, right?"

"Sister Xi~" Qian Manman's eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Seeing her like this, Yan Muxi felt extremely powerless. She tried hard to suppress her anger and said softly, "Don't worry, mother. I, your daughter, have died once before. I am still strong!"

"But," Qian Manman raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "Yes, my daughter is very lucky! They are just a bunch of rabble who don't know right from wrong. They can't do anything to my sister Xi."

Qian Manman didn't dare to look into her daughter's eyes, for fear that the hesitation and uncertainty in her eyes would be discovered.

She didn't dare tell anyone that the reason she was so worried and unable to sleep at night was because she had a nightmare that was so real that it didn't seem like a dream.

In the dream, her sister Xi was locked in an iron cage hung with ropes. The iron cage was hung on the city wall of the northern city of Luodu. Below the city wall was a dense crowd of soldiers and horses that stretched as far as the eye could see.

As the war drums beat, thousands of swords rained down on the iron cage. Just as the rain of swords flashing with cold light was about to penetrate into the cage, she was frightened awake.

After that night, she had nightmares almost every night, and almost all of them were about her daughter, who was imprisoned, forced, and bullied... So many tiny fragments were pieced together, as if they were things that happened in her previous life, so real that they didn't seem like dreams at all.
