"Don't show me your seductive look. I'm not the emperor, how can I be seduced by you?" Concubine Hua looked away awkwardly, and then saw Cao Qinmo who was timid and submissive. She said angrily, "What are you still doing here? Aren't you going back to watch over Wen Yi?"

With her own child, Concubine Hua no longer cared about Wen Yi, she just wanted to send Concubine Li and Concubine Cao away. Even if she was stupid, she knew that there were some things that others couldn't know too much about. She just forgot about the existence of these two people and said a lot.

Concubine Li and Noble Lady Cao were so frightened that they trembled and quickly stood up to leave. Yu Ying'er also wanted to leave, but was unable to leave because Concubine Hua said, "You stay."

"Tell me, what did Fu'er ask you to say to me, and how can he ask you to help me?" Concubine Hua raised her head proudly, as if she was the god who dominated everything in the world, noble and unattainable.

Yu Ying'er thought about it again and again before saying, "He said there was something strange about his death, and he also wanted the queen not to challenge the emperor's power. Finally... he wanted to protect you and the Nian family."

Talking about her own Fu'er, Concubine Hua felt a sharp pain in her heart. When she heard that there was something strange about his death, and that he was still thinking about her and the Nian family even after his death, she could no longer control her tears, and she kept crying like a water pipe with a faucet turned on.

"He...he...silly child." Concubine Hua couldn't stop crying and couldn't help complaining, "Why can't he be reborn in my belly by himself? Why does he have to make such a fuss and make me cry my heart out?"

"He said that he could not be reborn into your womb as a man, and could only come back to you as a woman, and he used the mark on the earlobe as a hint for recognition." Yu Ying'er didn't know why Qiqi said that, but she knew that this would make Concubine Hua believe it.

Concubine Hua's pupils shrank, and she stood up, took Yu Ying'er's hand, and said nervously: "You mean... my child is back?!"

"Yes, your majesty, you must tell the emperor this when the time comes. You must make him believe that the baby in your belly is a princess." Yu Ying'er looked at Concubine Hua, who was crying and looked fragile and helpless. She couldn't help but pull back her hand and pat her back gently to comfort her.

Because someone was comforting her, Concubine Hua couldn't hold on for a moment, and she leaned on Yu Ying'er, sobbing softly.

She didn't know how long she cried, and her voice became a little hoarse. She finally recovered and wiped her tears and asked Songzhi to bring in some tea.

"Although the child in my belly is a princess, why do I have to ask His Majesty to believe it? What's the point of doing this?" Concubine Hua had cried enough. To save her face, she returned to her usual unattainable and pretentious demeanor. She glanced at Yu Ying'er lightly, motioning for her to speak.

Yu Ying'er looked at the arrogant Concubine Hua and couldn't help feeling a little amused.

"He said that the Nian family is already extremely powerful and the prince is not suitable for the Nian family. I wonder if Your Majesty understands the meaning of this?" Yu Ying'er did not keep her in suspense and tried to save Concubine Hua's pure love brain.

Concubine Hua frowned and said with disdain: "Brother has the merit of following the emperor, and the Nian family is also loyal to the emperor. So what if they are powerful? The emperor will only favor me more and treat the Nian family more well."

"Your Majesty, you must remember that the emperor is first the emperor, and then your husband, and the son-in-law of the Nian family. There is a lot of tricks involved in this order of priority. General Nian will not rebel because of you, and the emperor has been indulging you again and again because he still has friendship with you and needs General Nian. But how can you allow others to sleep soundly beside your bed, and how can you allow others to think about the emperor's kingdom. The emperor loves you now, but friendship will eventually wear out, and the emperor's patience is limited. One day, when the emperor's rights are touched, that will be the day when the Nian family will be destroyed." Yu Ying'er spoke word by word, carefully. Although she didn't know the meaning of many words, it didn't stop her from copying Qiqi's words.

Hua Fei frowned, looking unacceptable, and scolded: "How outrageous!"

Yu Ying'er was not frightened by such a rebuke. Instead, she continued to look at Concubine Hua with a charming smile, and there were some inexplicable emotions in her eyes. Those were the emotions hidden in her heart, from her previous life to this life. She was very moved by a beautiful woman like Concubine Hua, which was why she agreed to help Concubine Hua and the Nian family.

Of course, she wouldn't know that this was also the reason why Qiqi came to her.

"Your Highness the Concubine Hua has already said many times that I am being presumptuous. You don't allow me to be presumptuous, but I have been presumptuous many times. I have said this much, and whether Your Highness the Concubine Hua believes it or not is up to you. I will always be behind Your Highness the Concubine Hua and be there whenever you call. Your Highness, please think about it carefully. I will take my leave first." Yu Ying'er didn't want to push Concubine Hua too hard, so she just wanted to take it slow. She simply left and gave her space to digest the matter.

After leaving Yikun Palace, the tenderness on Yu Ying'er's face disappeared instantly, and she became as charming as usual, looking disdainful of everyone, just like a low-profile version of Hua Fei. Yu Ying'er secretly observed Hua Fei for a long time, and subconsciously learned many of Hua Fei's little habits.

Chuxiu Palace

As soon as Yu Ying'er arrived at the gate of Chuxiu Palace, she saw Xin Changzai from afar with an anxious look on her face and was a little surprised.

"Sister Xin? Why are you waiting at the door?" Although Yu Ying'er and Xin Changzai are now at the same grade, Yu Ying'er still politely called her sister.

Xin Changzai felt relieved to see Yu Ying'er return unharmed, and then said, "The Emperor is here, in your west side palace, and I'm afraid he wants to ask you about Concubine Hua. I see that the Emperor doesn't look very well, so be careful when you answer."

Xin Changzai was also a member of the Qiandi Palace, and she had some guesses about Concubine Hua's affairs. She had not been pregnant for many years, but now she was pregnant... I'm afraid that those who were close to Concubine Hua would be tortured. I hope... Yu Ying'er will be fine.

"Thank you, Sister Xin, for reminding me." Yu Ying'er was a little surprised that the emperor was waiting for her in the west side hall, but then she realized that this guy was here to settle the score.

Although she was not sure about it, Yu Ying'er did not show her panic. Instead, she patted Xin Changzai's hand to comfort her: "Don't worry, sister, I have a plan. You must have been waiting outside for a long time. Go back and rest. I will come to talk to you later."

Xin Changzai knew that she could not help much, so she just nodded and left.

Yu Ying'er took a deep breath and then took Chunxi to the west side hall. Looking at the eunuchs and guards guarding outside the door, she was still a little panicked.

"Eunuch Xia." Yu Ying'er saw that Su Peisheng was not guarding the door, so she thought he must be serving in the hall, so she simply greeted the leader, Xiao Xiazi.

Seeing Yu Ying'er coming, Xiao Xiazi said with some embarrassment and respect, "I am not worthy of being called eunuch by you, you can just call me Xiao Xiazi. The Emperor has been waiting for a long time, please go in quickly."

After saying that, Xiao Xia Zi opened the door curtain for Yu Ying'er and let her enter the house.

Yu Ying'er thanked him politely before going into the house. As soon as she entered the house, she saw the emperor sitting on a couch drinking tea, and she quickly went to pay her respects, doing everything perfectly.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty. It is my fault for making him wait for me." Yu Ying'er looked at the emperor with a cold face and wished she could slap him in the face.

The emperor slowly put down the teacup and did not rush to call out, but asked: "From the Yikun Palace?"

"Empress Hua called me to talk. We talked about some boudoir topics. We got so excited that I forgot the time and just returned." Yu Ying'er replied.

The emperor twirled the beads in his hand, but still did not call out. Instead, he asked, "When did you and Concubine Hua become so close?"

Yu Ying'er's legs began to tremble because she was squatting. She said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty is very tired from the affairs of the previous dynasty. I must get along well with the sisters in the harem and cannot cause trouble for your Majesty. But today, Empress Hua asked me to listen to the teachings and said that I had a dream. I must be pregnant with a princess. She happily pulled me aside to talk for a long time and asked me many folk customs."

The emperor saw her appearance and waived his courtesy, but his expression did not ease much. He asked again: "You have been in the palace for some time, and you still remember the folk customs very clearly."

The breath of suspicion was overwhelming, hitting Yu Ying'er so hard that it hurt. Qiqi was also quickly thinking of a countermeasure in her mind.
