Jinzhong really coughed this time. He said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Then he had no intention of entering the room, but just stood still by the door outside, and when he stopped, he glanced at Yan Wan with resentment.

Those eyes were filled with aggrieved expressions, and Jinzhong's plump lips were slightly pursed, showing Yanwan that he was a dejected man visibly.

Yan Wan just blinked lightly and said with concern, "Eunuch Jinzhong, please take care of yourself."

Jinzhong saw how the man opposite him was pretending to be innocent. He bit his back teeth and smiled gently, with an inexplicable charm on his face. "Thank you, Master Ling."

Yanwan raised the corners of her lips and glanced at him with the corner of her eyes. Such a gentle look made Jinzhong shudder in his heart.

The two people passed each other.

Jinzhong's face suddenly flushed slightly. His skin was already craving for his only master, and now it was caressed lightly and softly by Master Ling.

It was such a delicious taste that it made him dizzy.

Jinzhong could only express his excitement to his good master tomorrow.

Chunchan lowered her head, pretending not to notice anything, and had no idea what the two people were talking about.

She only used her peripheral vision and ears to pay attention to the two people and whether others noticed the movement here.

*Jinzhong was not satisfied with just this, and he suddenly had a little delusion, wanting to stay with his master all day long, never to be separated.

I don't want to do any tedious work, nor do I want to serve a bearded man or the other concubines.

He just wanted to be Master Ling's slave, serve her tea and water, wash clothes and cook for her, that would be enough.

I miss you every day and don’t see you.

He could no longer suppress the longing in his chest, and all he wanted was to cling tightly to Yan Wan and wrap her up with his torso.

*There were already quite a few concubines sitting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Yan Wan took a quick glance and saw the Empress, Concubine Jia, Concubine Ke, and Concubine Ying who was hanging her head.

There was also Concubine Xian who was leaning on the chair with a big belly. She was almost lying sideways on the chair, with one arm supporting the armrest of the chair, and the other arm naturally falling on her knees. Her legs were stretched straight and crossed on the ground.

Everyone in the room was bound by rules, except her, who was carefree and relaxed.

It is really rare to be free and at ease and stick to your heart.

Yanwan bowed politely. Her belly was big and it was difficult for her to squat. Chunchan hurriedly supported her to prevent Yanwan from losing balance and falling again.

The emperor immediately said, "Hurry up and help Concubine Ling up."

Jinzhong took a big step forward, held up Yanwan's other arm, and helped her up together with Chunchan.

The people sitting there all looked at Yan Wan's face. She just smiled slightly and said sincerely, "Thank you, eunuch."

Jinzhong bowed his body and then retreated respectfully to the door.

The emperor smiled and said, "Yanwan, please sit down first. You are pregnant now, so you don't need to perform formalities anymore."

Yan Wan shook her head gently, looked up at the emperor, and said softly, "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abolished."

The queen's face was covered with a thin layer of fatigue. She said, "Concubine Ling has always followed the rules, but you are pregnant now after all, and you have to consider the blood of the emperor in your belly."

Yan Wan smiled gently at Lang Ya, then knelt slightly and responded, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Queen, for your advice." Then she looked at the Emperor with a little joy and shyness, and said gently, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Then she sat down carefully. The Queen also asked Su Lian to get a soft pillow for Yan Wan to put behind her waist so that she could sit more comfortably.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Langya said, "Now that everyone is here."

Langya turned to look at Jin Yuyan who was standing aside calmly, and said, "Jiapin, go ahead."

Jin Yuyan cleared her throat, looked up at the emperor and the queen, then retracted her eyes and stared at the palms of her hands, looking embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, yesterday, Xiao Lezi, a servant in my concubine's palace, went to the imperial kitchen to get some special cakes from the Northern Dynasty. Unexpectedly, I saw that the Yikun Palace was very lively. Several young eunuchs were walking out with a thick stack of letters. They seemed to be the family letters from Concubine Xian in the past. Now they were no longer needed and needed to be dealt with."

letter?

Ruyi was startled and moved her cheek away from the back of her hand that was resting on the armrest of the chair. Concubine Yu secretly sent her something, but Concubine Jia wouldn't know about it, would she?

Jin Yuyan happened to look up at Ruyi. She had a warm smile on her face, but Ruyi could feel the hatred in Jin Yuyan's heart. She hated herself.

"Xiao Lezi accidentally bumped into someone and knocked the letters he was holding apart. The person left in a hurry but happened to leave one on the ground."

"Xiao Lezi wanted to return the item to the man, but when he saw the two characters signed on the envelope were 'Hai Lan', he became scared."

"Xiao Lezi is a loyal person. He was afraid that this was evidence of private contact between Concubine Xian and Concubine Yu, who had been clearly ordered not to get close to Concubine Xian. So he brought it to me."

Jiapin glanced at Ruyi, then looked at the emperor with an obscure expression and said,

"Your Majesty, I was afraid that I had wronged Concubine Xian, so I opened the letter and took a look. From the first sentence of the letter, 'After the Emperor ordered me not to see you...', I can tell that this was written by Concubine Yu after she was reprimanded by the Emperor."

Jin Yuyan closed her lips and glanced at Li Xin, who then came in from outside, leading the trembling little Lezi, followed by a palace maid holding a tray with a letter. Jinzhong took the letter and handed it respectfully to the emperor.

The emperor picked it up casually and glanced at it. He saw the sincere feelings and earnest words in the letter, which were all about his longing for Concubine Xian.

A nameless anger rose in his heart, and then he slowly closed his eyes, snorted coldly, and threw the letter on the ground, "Okay!"

"I didn't even know that I had nurtured a lovesick person!"

The emperor was furious, and everyone stood up and saluted to ask him to calm down.

The emperor exhaled slowly, and then said, "Get up first, Queen, and look at what is written on the top."

Jinzhong quickly picked up the letter and presented it to Langya. Ever since Yanwan came in, the slight smile on Langya's face had never faded. She held the papers in her slender hands, glanced at them, and then the joy on her expression turned into surprise.

She frowned and read seriously, and the concubines looked at her curiously, just listening to what the Queen was going to say next.

After a while, the queen finished reading. She didn't say much, just threw out two words, "ridiculous."
