*In early June, Yihuan was already eight months pregnant. Her figure was no longer slim, she started to suffer from edema, and some obvious spots appeared on her face.

She didn't want the emperor to see her like this, so she sent He Xi to report to him, saying that she didn't want the emperor to remember her ugly appearance, so she would not see him until the spots faded.

The emperor wanted to comfort her and went to Chuxiu Palace to visit her. However, as soon as he arrived at the door, He Xi knelt on the ground to stop him. After he went in, he only saw Yihuan wearing a veil with a melancholy look on her face, and she refused to take it off.

The emperor was helpless and could only say a few words of comfort, saying that it was all caused by the pregnancy and that everything would be fine in a few days after the baby was born, so there was no need to worry too much.

The emperor held Yihuan's hand, and his hot body temperature was transmitted to Yihuan's skin and deep into her soul. The emperor said to her gently, "Yihuan, I don't want to put pressure on you, so I won't come to see you these days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yihuan tilted her head, feeling a little sad. Although she didn't want the emperor to see her like this, she felt sad when the emperor said he really wouldn't come again.

Yihuan suddenly felt aggrieved, and her eyes felt sore and hot, as if she was about to cry.

The emperor gently pulled her hand and coaxed her, "Don't think too much. I will write to you often. If we can't meet in person, then writing is as good as seeing you in person, okay?"

Yihuan couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they flowed down her cheeks, onto her veil, wetting a small area of ​​it. She quickly covered it with her hands, fearing that the veil would be stained with water and the spots on her face would show through.

The emperor wiped her tears gently with his thumb and hugged her again. When she stopped crying, he hurried back to the Yangxin Palace to handle government affairs.

Yihuan looked at herself in the mirror in Chuxiu Palace again and again, hoping that the spots would disappear quickly.

*Eternal Spring Palace

Shupin was getting older and had spots on her face, so she didn't want to see anyone. The emperor loved her and mentioned it to Langya, so the queen was willing to be more tolerant and allowed Yihuan not to come to pay respects, but just to recuperate in Chuxiu Palace.

Otherwise, with her arrogance, if many people noticed the flaws on her face, I'm afraid the sad mood would also affect the dragon fetus in her belly.

Therefore, when I paid my respects recently, there was an empty seat.

Langya sat on it. The Seventh Prince had been healthy recently, so she looked more energetic. Some time ago, when the Seventh Prince was ill, she looked haggard every day, which was really pitiful.

Yan Wan has been living a comfortable life recently. Jin Yuyan has not been reinstated as a concubine yet, so she is unwilling to hang around her for fear of being ridiculed by her. Ruyi is out of favor, and she doesn't have the confidence to be treated harshly by Qin Li. I don't know what's wrong with Hailan and her sister, they look worried all day long. The emperor has been lingering with Jiapin and his new concubines recently, and doesn't come to Yongshou Palace often.

Several annoying ones stayed away from her. The only drawback was that Jin Zhongshi was too busy, and the two of them could only see each other once every one or two days.

But today, Concubine Xian was out of character and looked much more energetic. Yan Wan glanced at the palace maid standing behind her.

Swollen eyelids, droopy eyelids, dark pupils without any light, upright posture, with a healthy aura inside. She is majestic without even getting angry, isn't she the Rong Pei who fought all over the Forbidden City in the previous life?

Yan Wan didn't care about the allocation of personnel in the Old Summer Palace. It seemed that these two people were really destined to meet each other even if the circumstances were different. It seemed that Rong Pei had become the head maid of the Yikun Palace, standing majestically behind Ruyi.

No wonder Concubine Xian was so straight and in such good spirits today. It turned out that she had a martial arts master backing her up.

It was just right for them to get together and torture them both severely.

The smile on Yan Wan's face became more and more evil, the evil in her heart was bubbling, she was laughing in her heart, and was about to use countless vicious schemes against Ruyi and Rong Pei.

"Yan Wan, what are you doing?" Bai Ruiji turned her head, frowned, and looked at Yan Wan's smile with a strange expression. Why did she suddenly smile like this... so obscene.

Yan Wan immediately retracted her evil expression, which turned into an innocent one. She stared at Bai Ruiji with her big eyes, which were clearly black and white. Her red lips were slightly pouted, and the word "what?" seemed to be written on her face.

Bai Ruiji narrowed her eyes and stared at Yan Wan.

Yan Wan blinked her eyes and said in a soft voice, "What's wrong? Sister."

Bai Ruiji narrowed her eyes and stared at Yanwan's expression.

Yanwan's back was a little tense, but she still maintained an innocent look, with her eyebrows raised and her eyes opened wider. Her eyeballs were filled with tears, making her look pitiful and cute.

Bai Ruiji glared at her and whispered to her, "You'll get away with it."

Yan Wan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Bai Ruiji turning back and smiled slightly.

Soon, Bai Ruiji turned her head sharply again and whispered to her, "Don't smile like that next time. It's weird."

Yan Wan held her forehead and smiled bitterly, "Sister, you are such a fool."

Yan Wan whispered to Bai Ruiji, "Sister, look at the maid behind Concubine Xian."

Bai Ruiji looked over and saw only an ordinary palace maid, not the one she had seen before in the Yikun Palace. "She looked like someone I have never seen before."

"Didn't a new batch of palace maids come to the Old Summer Palace some time ago? They must be very experienced in their work, so they won the favor of Concubine Xian." Yan Wan supported her chin and guessed.

"She didn't even choose a loyal maid from the Yikun Palace. How disheartening." Bai Ruiji leaned on the armrest and said while supporting her face.

The two were talking quietly when Concubine Xian suddenly turned around, looked at Yan Wan confidently, and said, "Is Concubine Ling still drinking the pregnancy medicine?"

Bai Ruiji frowned immediately, holding her breath and about to fight back. Yan Wan hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said, "I am still drinking, does Concubine Xian have any opinions?"

Ruyi raised the corners of her lips slightly, looked at Yanwan, and blinked gently, "I just asked casually, Concubine Ling, don't be too anxious, sometimes being anxious is not good."

"Thank you, Empress Xian. However, please have a drink when you are free." Yan Wan said with a bright smile.

Ruyi said calmly, "I believe that if there is a destiny, it will happen naturally. If there is no destiny, it will be useless no matter how much you pray."

She was self-righteous and sharp, with her eyebrows raised, her eyes full of complacency and calmness, and a condescending disdain and confidence.

Yan Wan didn't want to pay attention to her. It was inexplicable. Why was she so sure that she couldn't get pregnant?

Oh, that's right. Ruyi now thinks that what she drank was Yihuan's pregnancy medicine. So she thinks that Yanwan drank the pregnancy medicine containing contraceptives, and no matter how anxious she is, she can't get pregnant.

So she was very complacent, thinking that she had hidden her little thoughts very well and perfectly.
