Hai Lan was indignant for Ruyi, "Sister is just too good-tempered, which encourages the queen's arrogance."

She was angry because Ruyi was under house arrest, and she also thought that if she had listened to Mo Xin and killed the Seventh Prince, no matter how arrogant Fucha was now, she would not have the confidence to do so.

Ruyi frowned slightly and scolded softly, a little angrily, "Okay, Hailan." Her sickle-like eyebrows had some imperfect twists and turns, no longer a perfect arc.

Hailan immediately shut up and swallowed back the words she had yet to finish. She looked panicked and a little uneasy.

Ruyi said lightly, "The door will be closed soon, you should go back quickly." Then she looked at the needle and thread in front of her and started embroidering again.

"Yes, sister, I'll go back first." Hai Lan was about to leave, but turned her head back to look at Ruyi, hoping that she would say one more word, look at her again, even just one glance.

But Ruyi just hung her head and continued embroidering, ignoring Hailan's earnest gaze. She didn't have the ability to read minds, so naturally she didn't know Hailan's inner wishes.

Hailan withdrew her gaze and walked away frustrated. Her sister was so kind, it must be because she said those impure words and made her sister angry.

Hailan returned to her residence in a daze, sitting in a chair in a daze, not even realizing how many minutes had passed.

She was only thinking about the fact that her sister had been under house arrest for three months, and the next time she saw her, she would have to wait until she returned to the palace.

*The news that Concubine Xian was under house arrest spread throughout the entire villa. Concubine Jia only smiled sarcastically when she heard it, and still held her mother's hand and stroked it.

With one hand she touched her increasingly round belly. There have been a lot of turmoil recently, but Jin Yuyan was not worried. Her child was a reassurance that kept her at peace.

After the smallpox epidemic was over, Jin Yuyan discovered that she was pregnant, but she only confirmed it with the imperial physician and did not make it public.

I thought I would wait until the child grew up and it would be impossible to hide it before telling everyone.

Because the Queen was afraid that she would be jealous of the Seventh Prince's weakness, she did not allow any more princes to be born in the harem, in order to ensure that the child would be born safely. When the pregnancy was later and the fetus was stable, she could relax a little and not worry about others' harm.

Jin Yuyan herself had murdered several children, so she was particularly worried about the health of the baby in her belly.

But she never found a good time to tell the emperor. After the smallpox epidemic was over, the emperor would go on an eastern tour. During this time, the emperor's heart was always on the empress and the seventh prince. Then the princess would get married, which made him worried and also made him worry about Jingse all the time.

Anyway, the emperor has been concerned about the queen all these days. Jin Yuyan felt a little dissatisfied.

If the emperor's thoughts are not diverted away from the queen, then her child, without the emperor's expectations, will probably not be valued by Hongli and will not be particularly liked by him.

Concubine Jia was thinking about how to make the emperor like the baby in her belly more.

She was getting further and further along in the pregnancy, so it would be better to report the good news to the emperor as soon as possible, so as to avoid him noticing when he summoned her to sleep with him. However, the emperor had been focusing on his child with the queen these days and was indifferent to the news of her pregnancy.

After all, if it weren't for Concubine Mei's procrastination, the Seventh Prince would definitely not have survived until today. The Queen got the upper hand for nothing, as she managed to escape two setbacks in a row.

If the Seventh Prince died young, she could give birth to another prince to ease the emperor's pain of losing his beloved son, and the emperor would certainly love her child even more.

"Oh, this Imperial Concubine Xian just had to pick a fight with the Queen. Now the Emperor has ordered her to be confined to her house. It's all her own fault." She smiled with her plump lips and looked at Zhenshu proudly.

"It's just that this queen is so blessed." She touched her belly and gently coaxed the unborn child, "Good child, you must make your mother and your family proud."

Zhenshu took a soft pillow for Concubine Jia to lean on, "My lady is much more blessed than the queen. Just talking about the fact that you have many offspring is a hundred times better than the queen being unable to have children."

*Jingse got the news that he would stay in Beijing, so he had lunch with Langya and then returned to his own residence.

She knew that the Empress Dowager had been wronged some time ago, but she was thinking that if she was about to marry far away, the Empress Dowager would already be worried, and if she punished those who committed crimes, if someone insisted on making a fuss, it would definitely make her mother even more worried.

Jingse suppressed his anger and wanted to wait until things were settled before taking any action.

Now, things have turned around and the sun has turned. The Emperor has allowed her and her husband to stay in the capital. The Empress Dowager's mentality has improved, and the worries of the past two days have disappeared.

She could often go to the palace to warn her mother against those who harbored evil intentions and committed crimes.

My mother is kind-hearted and always considers many things. In order to balance the ideas of the Emperor, the Fucha clan, and everyone in the harem, and because of her duties as the queen, she has to tolerate some things and be kind and cannot blame others because of her own mood.

But she was different. She was the legitimate princess of the Qing Dynasty and the only daughter of the emperor and empress. She was extremely noble.

She was in charge of disciplining the emperor's many concubines, which saved the emperor's mother a lot of trouble. With her around, those who bullied her mother would have to think about whether they could stand her methods.

In the evening, the palace maid reported that Concubine Xian was under house arrest by the Emperor for offending the Empress.

She was thinking of making an example of someone to scare the monkeys, and this was a godsend.

Jingse smiled, "Isn't Concubine Xian going to send a dowry to this princess? Let's go and get it now." Then she led a few guards and palace maids and went to the room that was sealed by the emperor.

The guards felt a little nervous when they saw Princess Jingse coming in aggressively. Concubine Xian was put under house arrest because she had contradicted the Empress, and Princess Jingse was the Empress's daughter, so she must have come to vent her mother's anger.

The head of the guards saluted Jingse and asked respectfully, "I wonder why your Highness Princess came here. The emperor does not allow anyone to enter or leave this place."

Jingse only glanced at it, then looked at the tightly closed palace door, with an arrogant attitude that would not allow rejection, "Noble Concubine Xian committed treason and contradicted the Queen. The Emperor punished her with house arrest for three months, but this princess has not punished her yet."

"Kick open this door." Jingse raised his head and said sternly.

Several guards of the princess behind her immediately stood up and were about to approach the house. The guards who were ordered to stop them tried to stop them, but they did not dare to stop them.

"You dare to stop me, a descendant of the royal family? If you dare to offend me, I will make you do hard labor tomorrow." Jingse glared at the nervous chief of the guards and threatened coldly.

The head of the guards smiled bitterly and said, "Get out of the way." He bowed to the princess and said, "Please tell the emperor that we have done our best."

Jingse sneered and looked at the guards who quickly made way, "You guys know what's best for you."

Then, with a "clang" sound, the door panel seemed to turn into two pieces of cloth, splashing out a lot of debris.
