Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

Jin Yuyan looked thoughtfully at Zhenshu who was standing beside her with a strange expression, and she already knew the answer to the question just now.

She couldn't help but think to herself: "It seems that everything is just as I expected!"

Ever since Concubine Yi became pregnant with the Dragonborn, Fu Cha Lang Ya, who used to be very close to her, gradually became cold towards her. However, Concubine Yi, who used to be unknown and invisible, has recently emerged and won Fu Cha Lang Ya's favor.

For Jin Yuyan, although Fu Cha Langya could not help her win the emperor's favor, she was still a great support for her in this treacherous harem.

After all, she was born in the Yu family, which was not considered a legitimate aristocratic family in the Qing Dynasty. So as soon as she entered the palace, she set her sights on Fu Cha Langya, who was of noble birth but was only a concubine.

But now, Concubine Yi, who has not yet given birth, has been favored by the emperor, and even Concubine Xian has been offering her olive branches everywhere. If she can successfully give birth to a prince in the future, I am afraid that she will not be able to get any benefits from Fucha Langya. Originally, Jin Yuyan also hoped to use the power of Fucha in the Qing Dynasty to secretly let the relatives of the Yu family far away get some benefits! Now it seems that this matter may not be appropriate!

Thinking of this, Jin Yuyan frowned tightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She knew very well that the struggle in the palace was cruel and ruthless. If she didn't plan ahead, she might fall into an irretrievable situation and be isolated and helpless. After all, she originally entered the palace not to win the emperor's heart, but to take advantage of the emperor's favor to secretly help Yu and her lover who had become the prince. ...

Looking back now, Concubine Yi and her unborn baby had clearly become stumbling blocks on her road to success. "Zhenshu! I remember that since Concubine Yi became pregnant, she seemed to be very afraid of being alone in the dark, right? Every night, the candles in Jingyang Palace would be lit all night long."

"Yes, my Lord, you have a really good memory! Concubine Yi has been like this since she became pregnant. The virtuous Concubine is also very considerate of her. Sometimes she worries that Concubine Yi will be scared at night, and even lets her rest in the side hall of her palace. But, my Lord, why did you suddenly mention this matter?"

A determined smile flashed across Jin Yuyan's charming face, but after hearing the question, she just shook her head and said softly:

"It's okay, I just suddenly remembered something interesting. Zhenshu, go to the warehouse of Qixiang Palace and look carefully. I still remember that when I first came to the Qing Dynasty, I brought a batch of insomnia-inducing powder from the Yu family. Go and see if you can find them. I also remember that you have a distant cousin in this palace. He moved to the Qing Dynasty with his parents from the Yu family. Now he is serving in Jingyang Palace, right? You can secretly bring him to Qixiang Palace in a few days."

"As you command, I understand. I will go find those herbs right away. I will bring my cousin here tomorrow."

After receiving Jin Yuyan's instructions, Zhenshu left in a hurry.

....................................

In fact, Jin Yuyan originally didn't want to do anything to Concubine Yi and her unborn child. After all, who would hurt an innocent person for no reason?

It's just that all this is based on the assumption that they will not threaten his reputation and status. You know, if he wants to become Fu Cha Langya's most trusted concubine, then Yi Guiren is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle in front of him.

After all, before this, he had done a lot for Fucha Langya, and he could be said to have done his best and worked hard without complaint. But would all these efforts be in vain just because Concubine Yi was pregnant?

No! Absolutely not! For the glory of the Yu family, for the prince who is far away but close at hand, I will not hesitate even if my hands are stained with blood...

On the other side, inside the Yanxi Palace, the scene was still peaceful and harmonious.

Recently, Concubine Yi has been afraid of the dark at night, so whenever Fucha Langya has some free time, she will invite Concubine Yi to come to her palace to accompany her and let her rest together.

Concubine Yi was originally a palace maid from the Yanx Palace where Fucha Langya lived. Naturally, she was respectful and obedient to her former master.

Therefore, when Fu Cha Lang Ya hinted that Concubine Yi would have a low status in the future and might not be able to keep her child, Concubine Yi immediately understood why Fu Cha Lang Ya had been so caring towards her these days.

Concubine Yi was very tactful and took the initiative to say that if she was lucky enough to give birth to a boy in the future, she would be willing to send the child to the Yanx Palace to be raised by Fucha Langya.

Concubine Yi's words just happened to cater to Fucha Langya's thoughts, making her very satisfied.

Fu Cha Langya smiled and responded:

"Noble Lady Yi, don't worry. If the emperor gives the heir in your belly to me to raise in the future, I will definitely treat him as my own child and teach him carefully. If you miss the child and want to visit him in the future, I will arrange to send the child back to you so that you can take good care of him for a few days. You don't need to worry about these things."

Concubine Yi was moved to tears and kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude, saying that she would do her best to serve Concubine Xian to repay her kindness.

Fucha Langya helped Concubine Yi up and gently comforted her to take care of herself, rest assured and look forward to the birth of the dragon child. Since Concubine Yi became pregnant, the relationship between the two has become closer.

And Concubine Yi also knew very well that only by relying on Fucha Langya could she and her future children have a better future.

"Yes, I understand."

She nodded slightly, indicating that she understood the deep meaning. She looked at the noble woman in front of her with a firm and grateful look and said:

"I was brought into the palace by you, Your Majesty. If it weren't for your support and care, I would have died or ended up on the streets. How could I have the stable life I have today? Now, I have the opportunity to send my child to you, Your Majesty, to raise him. This is not only a blessing for me, but also for the child!"

After saying this, she knelt down gently, kowtowed and thanked him:

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty! I am willing to be loyal to You for the rest of my life, even if it means sacrificing my life!" Her words were full of sincerity and piety, which moved Fucha Langya deeply.

The emperor had not yet clearly stated that the child in Concubine Yi's belly would be raised under the name of Fucha Langya, but Fucha Langya was already happily thinking about how to take care of the prince born by Concubine Yi in the future.

……

Yangxindian

The emperor got up early this morning and was sitting on the dragon throne, reading through memorials.

Suddenly, Li Yu rushed in from outside, holding a letter from Junggar in his hand. The emperor took the letter and read it carefully.

The emperor frowned at what was said in the letter:

Since Dawachi took office, he has not only been cruel and inhumane, but also has been nepotistic and oppressive to the people. Now, the people in Junggar have long been dissatisfied with Dawachi.

Now, this discontent has erupted, triggering a massive civil strife. Various forces have risen up, gathering troops and threatening to attack this unjust ruler and restore peace and order to Dzungaria.

At this time, Dawachi did not repent, but instead, relying on his status as the consort of Princess Duanshu, he shamelessly asked the Qing Dynasty for help, asking for troops to help him quell the civil strife. It seemed that as long as he had the support of the Qing army, he could continue to sit firmly on the shaky throne of the Junggar lord.

The emperor clenched his fists tightly, veins popping out on his forehead, and angrily threw the letter aside. He widened his eyes, which were filled with anger and determination.

Dawachi, the traitor, had long aroused public anger and was despised by everyone. Now that he was punished, it was a deserved punishment and a great relief to the people! However, what the emperor never expected was that Dawachi was so shameless that he relied on his status as Princess Duanshu to ask the Qing Dynasty to send troops to help. This was simply a foolish dream!

“Li Yu!”

The emperor roared, his voice was deafening.

"Has the person I sent out to pick up Princess Duanshu returned any news? No matter what, she must be brought back to the capital as soon as possible! No matter what the cost, no matter how risky it is, we must secretly rescue her from Junggar! Hengchu is my own sister, and I must not let her stay in that dangerous place!"

The emperor's tone was firm and resolute, revealing his deep concern for his sister.

He knew that the situation in Junggar was unstable and dangerous, and Princess Duanshu's life might be threatened at any time in such an environment. As a brother, he had already ignored Hengchu once, so how could he sit idly by and watch the situation in Junggar now?

Xining Palace

Zhen Huan looked at Empress Yixiu, who would come to her palace to sit around whenever she had time, and wondered in her heart: What is Yixiu planning during this period? Zhen Huan really couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

Yixiu looked up and saw Zhen Huan, who had been staring at her since she entered the room. She understood what was going on, but her face did not show any strange expression.

She picked up a book that looked quite interesting from the table beside her very naturally, and then flipped through the pages leisurely while speaking to Zhen Huan in a calm tone:

"I just feel that it is too lonely and boring to stay alone in the empty Cining Palace, so I always want to come to your Xining Palace to sit in my spare time. When the previous emperor was in power, there were many concubines in the harem, but in the end, only you and I could really ascend the throne of the empress dowager. Some time ago, the emperor told me that he had sent soldiers to go out to welcome Princess Hengzhu back to the palace. I believe that by then, your Xining Palace will be more lively than before."

At this point, the corners of Empress Yixiu's mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile. However, this smile fell into Zhen Huan's eyes, making her wary -

However, these thoughts in Zhen Huan's mind only lasted for a few seconds. After all, times have changed, and now they are both considered senior figures in the harem.

Although she and Yixiu each had a certain amount of power in the previous dynasty, the current emperor has been on the throne for a long time and has become more powerful. The power they had previously deployed in the previous dynasty was also gradually eliminated by the emperor year by year.

But this time, Zhen Huan was really worrying too much.

Yixiu spent a long time in the inner palace, and the number of people around her who were familiar to her became increasingly rare. Unexpectedly, the person who would eventually accompany her was Zhen Huan, with whom she had the most intense struggle in the harem in the past.

When mentioning Hengzhu, a trace of sadness flashed across Zhen Huan's face, which had been calm. She seemed to have lost all her strength. She sat down quietly next to Yixiu, sighing softly.

"The emperor values ​​filial piety, so he will naturally try his best to bring Hengchu back from Junggar. However, how could Dawachi easily hand over my daughter? Junggar is now in constant civil strife and the situation is unstable. Dawachi will definitely keep Hengchu under close watch to threaten the emperor to send troops to help quell the civil strife. Alas, all the princesses of the royal family are just victims of the royal family's interests."

Yixiu was casually fiddling with the book in her hand, but because of Zhen Huan's words, she began to think about Jingsi's future marriage. Jingsi was a legitimate princess, and although the eldest princess was born to Fucha, if there was a marriage in the future, those tribes that came to seek would definitely choose the legitimate princess first.

Thinking of this, Yixiu couldn't help but frown, secretly thinking about how to find a satisfactory marriage for Jingsi. After all, in this deep palace, marriage often becomes a bargaining chip for the exchange of power and interests, and as an elder, she only wants her younger generation to be happy and healthy.
