*After leaving Concubine Yu, Concubine Ke brought a group of concubines to kneel at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, trying to force the emperor not to force Princess Han to stay.

When the emperor came out, he saw so many people kneeling here, as if he was a tyrant who didn't know the big picture. He was so angry that his head was uncomfortable, and he immediately scolded, "You all kneel here one by one, how can you be so disrespectful?"

Concubine Ke said, "Your Majesty, it is against the rules to force Princess Han to stay in the palace. I heard that you want to take her as a concubine. Isn't this too absurd? Han Xiangjian is the widow of Han Qi, and she is originally a woman from outside the court."

Yingpin also echoed, "Your Majesty, you should think more about your reputation. Such a ridiculous thing happened. The Han tribe was your enemy before, but now it has your favor. How will the 49 Mongolian tribes view you?"

The emperor was furious and said immediately, "I am just showing courtesy to the Han tribe. Do you have any objection to this?"

Yan Wan came hurriedly and begged the emperor to let Yingpin stand up. After all, Yingpin was pregnant and couldn't kneel.

The emperor was even more unhappy, and snorted coldly, "I didn't ask her to kneel. Yingpin wanted to kneel on her own. Should I force her to stand up?"

Yingpin immediately said disappointedly, "Your Majesty, you are so confused by emotions that you will hurt the hearts of the forty-nine Mongolian tribes."

She raised her head stubbornly, "This makes Mongolia doubt whether the emperor they have always relied on is really a wise monarch!"

Concubine Ke looked at Meiruo with approval, but she quickly lowered her head and just knelt obediently. It seemed that all this was led by Concubine Ying.

The emperor immediately thought that Yingpin had instigated everyone to do this and was about to get angry. Yanwan took the lead and scolded Yingpin for being rude and how could she speak to the emperor like that.

Meiruo wanted to defend herself, saying that she was doing it for the emperor's reputation. But when she saw the imperial concubine's serious expression, she suddenly felt a little scared. Yanwan took advantage of this opportunity to have Yingpin taken back to Xianfu Palace and not allow her to act like this again.

Yingpin herself doesn't care about the dragon fetus, and Yanwan is the imperial concubine, so she must take good care of Yingpin's body.

Seeing this, Concubine Ke only gave the emperor a few words of advice and left. She looked like she had lost her backbone after losing her sisters.

The emperor was upset, but he didn't want to punish Yingpin and let her harm the dragon fetus, so he said, "The Imperial Concubine should also teach Yingpin some rules. It's really outrageous for her to act like this. Forget it, Yanwan, you still have to prepare for the appointment as queen, so let's talk about this later."

Concubine Ke heard these words clearly.

*May 18, Queen's Enthronement Ceremony

Under everyone's attention, Yan Wan became the legitimate empress of the Qing Dynasty.

Next to Concubine Chun and Concubine Shu was Concubine Mei, and behind them were Concubine Qing and Concubine Wan who were happy for them. The rest of Concubine Ke, Concubine Ying, and Concubine Jia all had different thoughts and only cared about looking good.

Concubine Yu also had a sincere smile on her face. She had no intention of becoming the queen. After all, it was not reasonable for a foreign woman to become the queen. It was enough for her to become a noble concubine or imperial concubine.

Han Xiangjian did not come today. The emperor had not yet won over the beautiful lady Leng's heart, so he indulged her in everything and sent her all kinds of ornaments used by the Han tribe. He even exaggerated by wearing Han tribe clothes himself to gain Han Xiangjian's concern.

But this had no effect. Instead, the emperor was so hurt by Han Xiangjian's cold words that he left in disgrace.

Ruyi couldn't suppress her emotions. It seemed that it was difficult to remain calm without suppressing them. Ruyi would only become more and more irritable if she let herself vent like this. She couldn't even maintain the simplest fake smile. She just drooped her face and stared fiercely at Wei Yanwan, the person who stole her position as queen.

She always felt that the one who should be honored with such glory should be her, Ruyi.

How could it be Wei Yanwan?

The most despised Wei Yanwan.

*As early as after Yongxuan's full month, Yanwan tentatively brought up the pregnancy-maintaining medicine that the emperor had given her.

Yihuan was still smiling, the spots on her cheeks had faded a lot, leaving only some light brown marks. But she didn't even put on makeup, not trying to cover up these small flaws.

The emperor would come to see her occasionally, and the two of them would still have some tenderness. But Yihuan never mentioned the emperor's kindness to Yanwan and Bai Ruiji again.

Yihuan only said, "The pregnancy medicine is probably different. I remember how anxious I was at that time, but I still didn't have a child. I got pregnant not long after I stopped taking the pregnancy medicine."

"And the emperor also used words to consider me for a while." Yihuan slowly raised his eyes, looked at Yanwan, and said, "I once thought that love was the whole meaning of my life. Perhaps without the love with the emperor, I would die like a firework that has been extinguished."

"But after having Jing? and Yongxuan, my love is divided between them." Yihuan smiled softly, "The emperor is not that important in my heart. Since he is not that important, it doesn't matter what he thinks."

Yan Wan said, "I learned about this incident by accident before, and I always felt that I couldn't let you risk your life just because you were looking at the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, because that... is fake after all."

"However, although I have always wanted to tell you, I never had a good opportunity." Some memories appeared on Yan Wan's face. She thought of Yi Huan's resolute self-immolation in her previous life, and said, "You love the emperor so deeply. I am afraid that if you learn the truth, you will... die with your misplaced love."

"That's why I have been waiting for so many years." Yanwan sighed softly, and just looked at Yihuan with the same gentle smile, but two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.

There are some guesses, but the truth is still hard to believe.

Yanwan raised her hand and called Chunchan over. Chunchan presented a tray with an older medicine package on it and the amount of the medicine written on the side in a flourish.

"Words are not enough. This is what I got from Qi Ru. The prescription next to it is written according to the ingredients inside. Of course, this may just be a misunderstanding. It is not the emperor's intention, but a murder by someone else." Yan Wan said.

Yi Huan shook her head and said, "The emperor has all kinds of thoughts, don't I know that? He is suspicious and sensitive. He must have been wary of me because I was recommended by the empress dowager and I am a member of the Yehenara clan, but he values ​​my appearance because of my beauty."

"Yan Wan, you don't have to make excuses for the emperor." Yi Huan smiled very relaxedly. She looked at Yan Wan steadily and said, "On the contrary, it is you who can't bear such a troublesome matter in your heart."

After Yan Wan left, Yi Huan suddenly remembered the time when they were setting off lanterns on the boat. Yan Wan said... the pregnancy medicine would damage the baby's appearance. So she never drank it again.

Yihuan wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. She smiled, but she couldn't stop crying.

It turns out that Yan Wan had wanted to help her as early as that time.
