Yan Wan was granted by the Emperor the power to assist in managing the six palaces. She sent many things to each concubine's palace, and everyone benefited from it. Except for someone like Balin Meiruo who was ungrateful, everyone was very happy.

For several months, Ruyi's mind was on investigating the cause of death of Yongjing and Jingsi, and she had put all the palace affairs aside. Ruyi wanted to find fault with Yanwan and give her a warning, so she threw all the accumulated palace affairs to Yanwan to deal with.

Yan Wan had several years of experience in handling palace affairs. Since she became the emperor's concubine, she had treated her subordinates leniently. The eunuchs and maids in the palace had all received Yan Wan's favor, so it was natural that she could handle things smoothly.

Ruyi originally wanted to embarrass Yanwan, but unexpectedly, this further demonstrated Yanwan's abilities and convinced everyone in the palace.

After finishing the tasks at hand, Yanwan couldn't wait to take Chunchan to Qixiang Palace to meet Jin.

After Jin's crime was exposed, Li Xin, as Jin's right-hand man, was executed by the emperor early. During the two months of imprisonment in Qixiang Palace, Jin was tortured every day, and only the whippers and the maids who brought food would visit Jin every day.

Jin was lying half-dead on the bed. There was no sign of human life in the entire Qixiang Palace. All the furnishings in the palace had been taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was so desolate and miserable, like a haunted house.

Jin, who always loved to dress up and be clean, was lying on the bed with dishevelled hair and dirty face, and there was not even a drop of clean tea in the tea bowl beside the table. Such a scene really made people associate this slovenly woman in front of them with the glamorous Consort Jia in the past.

When Jin heard the noise, she asked, "It's not time for execution yet, who is so kind to come visit me?"

Yan Wan walked in and said, "My Lady Concubine Jia, I am really shocked by your current appearance."

Jin lay down again and sneered, "I was...it turned out to be you, Ling Fei. You made me like this, you should be very proud, right?"

Chunchan scolded: "You are a criminal woman who has been stripped of your title. Not only did you not pay homage to Empress Lingfei, but you also dared to insult her!"

Yan Wan waved her hands nonchalantly, "Forget it, Chunchan. Why bother with a dying person? I dare not accept a gift from a vicious person like Concubine Jia. I don't know how she curses me in her heart!"

Jin laughed and said, "Haha, Concubine Ling, you are right. I curse you every day! The emperor has been wary of me for a long time, and I can't deal with you. But I didn't expect that the queen is also a waste. She used witchcraft to accuse the whole family of extermination, but she couldn't even bring it down on you!"

Chunchan wiped the stool clean and helped Yanwan sit down. Yanwan smiled and said, "Haven't you figured out that the queen is a waste a long time ago? Otherwise, how dare you attack the queen's Thirteenth Prince?"

At this point, Jin turned sideways to look at Yan Wan and asked, "Since you know that Meipin is not dead, and you also know that Meipin hates me, did you deliberately lead Meipin to make Yongxuan disabled?"

"Then let Chunchan pass the news of Yongxuan's assassination to Lixin, causing me and the queen to fight each other, so that you can reap the benefits? Ling Fei, you are really scheming, and both me and the queen underestimated you!"

Yan Wan denied it, "The Emperor personally sent someone to escort Concubine Mei out of the palace. How could I know her whereabouts? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for your many evil deeds, and the retribution has fallen on the Eighth Prince!"

Yan Wan had evidence that Jin was plotting to murder Empress Xiaoxian and the Seventh Prince, and she intended to lure Jin into dealing with Ruyi.

But Yan Wan knew that Jin coveted the position of crown prince and would not watch Ruyi give birth to a legitimate son. Before she could find a way to instigate, Meipin had already used her own connections to take revenge on Jin.

When the Eighth Prince fell off his horse that day, Yan Wan was shocked when she heard the news. She asked Jinzhong to investigate for a long time before they found out that it was Concubine Mei who did it.

Jin didn't believe it at all. "You have always been scheming. I don't believe that Yongxuan's fall from his horse has nothing to do with you!"

Yan Wan said indifferently: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not, but I did deliberately pass on the news about Grandma Tian to your ears. But if you didn't have any bad intentions, how could you have tried to murder the heir to the throne and ended up like this?"

Jin hated herself for being careless for a moment. Not only did she fall into the trap of the bitch Concubine Ling, but she also helped Concubine Ling get rid of the Queen's Thirteenth Prince!

Jin suddenly laughed again and said, "Haha, you took so much effort to come up with this series of schemes. I'm sure you, like me, also have your eyes on that position, right? It's a pity that your stomach was not cooperative and you gave birth to a useless princess. All your schemes were wasted in vain!"

Chunchan smiled and said, "Our master already has the Seventh Princess. With our master's favor, are you still worried that she won't be able to give birth to a prince? You may not know that the emperor has given our master the power to assist in managing the six palaces in order to reward our master!"

"In this harem, the queen ranks first, and our master ranks second!"

After hearing this, Jin said angrily: "Assisting in managing the six palaces? The queen is really a waste!"

Yan Wan didn't come here to show off to Jin, "Empress Jia, do you know why I came to see you?"

Jin sneered, "Oh, didn't I just go to Yongshou Palace with you to take a look? Now you also come to Qixiang Palace to laugh at me? I'm telling you, don't be too proud. Be careful not to be too proud or you'll end up like me!"

Yan Wan took out the memorial, stared at Jin and said slowly: "I am indeed here to see you laugh. Do you know what the prince of Yu will do after your story gets to Yu?"

When Jin heard about Prince Yu, a glimmer of light flashed in her already cloudy eyes, as if she saw some hope.

Suddenly, Jin felt that Concubine Ling had hated her for a long time, and it was impossible for her to bring her any good news by coming to Qixiang Palace this time.

Jin had a bad guess, and she forced herself to ask anxiously, "What happened to the prince? Did he anger the emperor by pleading for me? This was all my own idea, and the prince was unaware of it. The emperor cannot vent his anger on the prince! I want to see the emperor!"

Yan Wan suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was so pathetic and pitiful, so she handed the memorial in her hand to Jin, who collapsed after reading it.

"What? I'm not the daughter of the Yu family? The prince knows about my affairs. It's ok for him not to plead for me, but he is so anxious to distance himself from me? What am I in his eyes? No, I don't believe it! You must be trying to trick me, I don't believe it!"

Yan Wan sneered and said, "This is the memorial from the Emperor to me. I guess it should be written by Prince Yu. Prince Yu not only gave up on you, but also sent a genuine noble lady from the Yu family to replace you!"

"Jin Yuyan, you gave up everything for such a heartless and ungrateful man, and hurt so many people. Is it worth it? As a foreigner, even if you give birth to many princes, you will never be able to ascend the throne! You have been smart all your life, but you don't understand this truth!"

Jin couldn't bear the blow. She couldn't bear that the man she loved all her life and gave everything for only treated her as a chess piece, a chess piece that was ruthlessly abandoned when it had no value to him.

Jin was crying and laughing, and in a trance she saw Meipin and her son coming to her to claim her life.

Not long after, Yan Wan received a report from the palace servants saying that Jin had gone crazy.
