When Hai Lan learned that her sister's father had passed away, she was so anxious that she went out to the cold palace to see Ruyi, but suddenly she felt dizzy and fainted on the ground.

The waning moon was about to set, the scented lamp was half-rolled up and the tassel curtains were half-rolled up. Hai Lan slowly opened her eyes, and it was Jin Yuyan and Su Lujun who were guarding the bed.

Su Lujun saw Hailan wake up and came over happily to congratulate her:

"Sister Hailan, you're awake. This is such a great joyous event. You've been pregnant for two months, and the Queen specially assigned Imperial Doctor Jiang to protect your pregnancy."

Hai Lan touched her belly in surprise. She was really pregnant, just like Concubine Jia and Concubine Mei.

She is not alone.

Jin Yuyan looked at Hailan. Now she has awakened 60%. According to her guess, the increase in the value last time was probably due to Hailan's sympathy for Fucha Langya and the Second Prince. Jin Yuyan felt that Hailan still had a conscience in this life and was teachable.

Hailan touched the baby in her belly, still thinking about comforting her sister who had lost her father, and telling her sister that she was pregnant.

She looked up at Concubine Jia. This time, Jin Yuyan did not stop her. Instead, she came over and gently touched her belly: "You are the mother now. No matter what Ruyi said in the cold palace, don't be sad and hurt your body."

Hai Lan brought all the money she had saved during this period and the knee pads she made for her sister. She heard that Ruyi was in the cold palace, so she also brought some supplements given by the Empress Dowager and a white flower for Lord Narbu to wear in mourning.

Hailan thought her sister would cry so hard that she would faint several times out of grief, but that didn't happen. Her sister remained calm, with only slightly red eyes.

"Sister, I have sent someone to deliver money to your family, and the Queen has also sent someone to help."

Ruyi's eyes were red, and she pouted as she asked, "Are they all laughing at me outside? They watched me lose my father but couldn't go out to see him for the last time."

Hai Lan thought Ruyi didn't hear clearly, so she repeated, "Sister, the Queen has sent someone to Ulanala's mansion."

Ruyi's gaze towards Hailan instantly became sharp, "Hailan, you have changed. What happened to you outside? Why do you speak well of the Queen?"

Hai Lan was frightened by her sister's questioning for a moment. She was just stating the facts. The Queen did indeed do many good things.

"Sister, I told you the truth. Not many people in the harem knew about Lord Narbu's death. The Queen Mother forbade anyone to spread the news in the palace. She also practiced frugality and saved money to send to the disaster area. The Queen Mother is very good."

Ruyi's face turned cold. She took the things Hailan sent and said with her head down: "Hailan, you go back first. I feel that you have changed recently. There is nothing we can talk about."

Hai Lan pulled her hand out and began to hesitate whether to tell Ruyi about her pregnancy. After thinking for a while, she finally spoke:

"Sister, don't be angry. Maybe I just got pregnant and I didn't think before I spoke. We finally met each other. I know you are also feeling sad. Can we talk properly?"

Ruyi kept blinking her eyes for about dozens of times. With a hint of barely perceptible annoyance, she asked:

"Hai Lan, didn't you refuse the last time I advised you to accept the emperor's favor? Why are you with the emperor again now?"

Hai Lan's expectations were dashed. She thought her sister would be happy for her and would happily tell her to take care of her health, but her sister asked her why she wanted to serve the emperor.

"Sister, the emperor asked me to sleep with him. Can I refuse? I'm pregnant. Aren't you happy for me?"

Ruyi also realized that her reaction was a bit too much. She held Hailan's hand again and said:

"Hai Lan, I was just too surprised just now. I am of course happy that you have a child now. In the future, we will finally have a prince in this harem. Don't worry, although you are of a low position, I will bring this child to raise after I get out."

Hailan was shocked again by her sister's words. When would her sister come out? Why did she take her child to raise?

"Sister, I forgot to tell you that I am now a noble lady of the sea. When I give birth to a child, no matter it is a boy or a girl, I will be promoted. At that time, I will be a concubine and can raise the child by myself."

Ruyi pulled her hand away again. Every piece of news that Hailan brought today shocked her. It had washed away the pain of losing her father, even more than the pain of losing her father.

"Hai Lan, why did you get promoted to noble? Why didn't you discuss this with me in advance? What's the difference between you and that Wei Yanwan?"

When Hai Lan heard Wei Yanwan's name, she frowned. Her sister knew that the maids in the Queen's palace had become noble ladies, so how come she didn't know that she had been promoted as well?

Besides, what's wrong with Wei Yanwan being promoted to noble lady? It's reasonable and legal.

Hai Lan stood up, looked at Ruyi who was furious, and asked word by word:

"Sister, if you put it that way, I have something to ask you. A palace maid is a concubine selected by the emperor. She is also a bannerman. Why can't she be a concubine? My status is even lower than Wei Yanwan's. When you ask me this today, do you think that I am like Wei Yanwan and not worthy of being a noble lady?"

When Hailan said this, she was shocked. Then she realized that this was what she had wanted to ask for a long time.

Ruyi looked up. This was the first time she looked at Hai Lan from this perspective. Yes, Hai Lan was no longer the Concubine Hai who had pitifully hidden behind her, nor was she the Empress Xian of the past.

Ruyi felt a little cold and a little panicked. She felt that Hailan had grown her own branches and leaves and was no longer under her control. In her mind, Hailan should always listen to her and do things for her.

"Hai Lan, I don't think so. You misunderstood me."

Hailan still stood and looked at Ruyi, "Then tell me, sister, what are you thinking? You asked me to give the baby to you after the baby is born, but you are in the cold palace now. Do you want me to use the baby to save you?"

Ruyi retorted to Hailan, "Hailan, isn't this what we agreed on? You said you wanted me to wait for you, how could you think of me like this?"

Hailan didn't know why she could talk so much today, but she just couldn't help it, maybe for the baby in her belly, or maybe for herself.

"Sister, didn't I wait for you? As soon as you entered the palace, you asked me to move in with you, but I waited and waited, but you didn't come. It was the Imperial Concubine who kicked me out, so you let me live in the Yanxi Palace. I remember your kindness in asking the Emperor to give me a title, and I regard you as my own sister. But when you talked about Wei Yanwan today, didn't you think of me? I was also an embroiderer."

Ruyi was filled with disappointment. Hailan had also changed, becoming a stranger to her...
