Imperial Concubine Qing had already made up her mind that after this storm had passed, she would secretly bring Ying'er out and assign her an unhurried job so that she wouldn't appear in public.

But unexpectedly, man proposes, God disposes, and Ying'er actually died in Xinzheku!

"Sister Ying'er has never done hard labor. In addition, she was publicly reprimanded by the Emperor in the palace. Everyone in the palace bullied and isolated her. She was not well fed or clothed, and there was endless work to do."

"I fell ill two days ago, and there was no doctor, so I went..." the young eunuch replied.

When Concubine Qing heard this, she almost fainted. Ying'er had followed her since she was a child, from marrying into the palace to becoming a concubine. She never expected that she would be so young...

Concubine Qing's eyes were red as she asked, "Why didn't anyone tell me?"

The young eunuch remained silent, not knowing how to answer. Ying'er's crime was not an ordinary one. She had injured the princess and concubines of the foreign tribe in front of envoys from various countries. If it were not for Concubine Qing's face, she would have been taken to the Ministry of Punishment long ago.

Yan'er saw that Concubine Qing was a little out of control, and quickly pulled her back, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please be calm, don't get angry and get yourself sick!"

"The deceased is gone, Your Majesty, please have someone arrange Sister Ying'er's funeral properly. If Sister Ying'er were still alive, I'm sure she wouldn't want to see Your Majesty so sad!"

Concubine Qing took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, forget it, everyone, just leave."

Yan'er looked at Concubine Qing with lingering fear, and finally retreated with the young eunuch.

Ying'er has already left, and it's no use regretting it anymore. I can only blame myself for not making good arrangements that day. I wanted to take this opportunity to frame Song Qingwan, but Concubine Yu saw through my plan.

If Ying'er hadn't stepped forward, he would never have been able to clear himself of suspicion.

All we can do now is drag those people into this and avenge Ying'er!

Jingyang Palace

Concubine Qing specially brought some good things to visit Song Qingwan.

"Princess Yu, try this bird's nest I brought you. It's nutritious. You're in good health now, so it's just right for you. Haitang, go and stew the bird's nest I brought you!"

Haitang looked at Song Qingwan. She would not be moved unless her queen gave her permission.

Song Qingwan said, "No need, Haitang, please forgive me, Your Majesty. Doctor Chen said that nourishing food should be done in moderation and you can't eat too much in one day. I just ate this morning, so I'm afraid I can only eat another day..."

Concubine Qing smiled and said, "Well, there are some other cakes and fruits. Would you like to try some, Concubine Yu?"

Song Qingwan continued to shake her head and said, "No, no, I feel very nauseous now and can't eat anything."

"Your Majesty, please don't send me anything anymore. I have a poor appetite and can't eat anything. It's a waste of your kindness~"

When Concubine Qing's maid Yan'er heard this, she felt embarrassed for Concubine Qing. This Concubine Yu was really becoming more and more ungrateful!

Concubine Qing was afraid to look at her face, but she was still trying her best to restrain herself. "Look at what my sister said. You are pregnant now. If you have something good, I still can't forget you!"

Song Qingwan also smiled slightly.

Then she frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I feel a little uncomfortable and want to rest. Why don't you come and talk to me next time?"

Yan'er had never expected that little Yupin would dare to order Concubine Qing to leave. She angrily said, "Yupin!"

Concubine Qing glared at Yan'er and said to Song Qingwan, "Okay, I'll leave first. You should take good care of yourself."

Haitang said, "My Lady, I will see you off."

But Song Qingwan stopped her. "Haitang, my shoulders are sore. Can you massage them for me?"

Concubine Qing looked back and left without saying anything.

After Concubine Qing left, Haitang asked in confusion, "Madam, why are we doing this?"

"Just now Imperial Concubine Qing came to deliver something. I could have just pretended to have eaten her food and felt unwell, which would have been a good opportunity to implement my plan!"

Song Qingwan flicked Haitang's head.

"You little fool, she dared to bring these things here with such fanfare, she must have made a perfect plan, these little tricks can't bring her down."

Haitang pouted and said, "Hehe, I thought it was too simple!"

Song Qingwan stared into the distance and said, "What I have to do now is to take advantage of her favor and force her to attack me!"

"At the same time, I pretended to be on guard against her, letting her know that I was afraid she would harm my child. This way, she would not doubt whether the baby in my belly was real or not!"
