Han Xiangjian has been waiting for news since the day she left Ruyi's bedroom.

She knew that this was not an easy task and that Ruyi would have to take many risks. She wanted to ask Ruyi how she was preparing several times, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

Ruyi naturally knew why Han Xiangjian was hesitant to speak, but she believed Ling Yunche's advice and no longer intended to interfere in Han Xiangjian's affairs. Seeing that Han Xiangjian didn't ask, she was happy to pretend to be stupid.

The movements here could not be hidden from Yan Wan and Jin Zhong. Yan Wan asked with a smile: "The Queen clearly promised Rongpin, is she going to break her promise and gain wealth?"

Jinzhong said, "I heard that the Queen went to find Ling Yunche, but Ling Yunche said a few words and she backed off. Poor Concubine Rong, she has to wait anxiously like this every day."

Yan Wan said calmly, "Not only did Han Qi come back to life, but he also dared to sneak into the Old Summer Palace to find the emperor's favorite concubine. Once discovered, this would be a capital crime. No wonder the queen wanted to retire."

Jinzhong said disdainfully: "Since you know this is a capital crime, the Queen shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place! Otherwise, why should you explain it clearly to Rongpin? Why keep Rongpin hanging like this?"

Yan Wan smiled and said, "From what Eunuch Jin Zhong said, do you want to help them meet?"

Jinzhong said: "Although I can't manage the defense of the palace, if Han Qi didn't have my secret help, how could he, a member of the Han clan with no foundation, enter the gate of Yuanmingyuan?"

"Rongpin is the most favored, why didn't you tell the emperor about Rongpin and Hanqi's secret meeting?"

Yan Wan said: "Why would I report her? Even if she is favored, she can't threaten my position. In recent years, I have been at the peak of my career in the palace, while the queen seems to be on the decline."

"Once Rongpin entered the palace, I don't know what she was thinking. She actually wanted to become the queen's person. Even if I use Hanqi to defeat Rongpin, there will still be new people entering the palace."

"Instead of this, I'd rather keep Rongpin. If there is a way to make Rongpin and the Queen turn against each other, wouldn't it be more beneficial to me?"

Jinzhong suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Master Ling is indeed smart, but I am short-sighted. Hanqi has been in the palace for half a month, and I am afraid that he will soon be unable to hold back."

"If he makes a scene before the Emperor, given His Majesty's fondness for Rongpin, he will at most reprimand Rongpin a few times, but will not implicate the Empress. When are you going to take action, Master Ling?"

Yan Wan looked at Jinzhong's eager look and raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, Eunuch Jinzhong, are you going to help others? However, Ling Yunche, as the imperial guard, feels that this matter is difficult. Eunuch Jinzhong, aren't you afraid of being exposed? I don't want the emperor to know that I have anything to do with this matter."

Jinzhong couldn't stand seeing Yanwan mention Ling Yunche, and he couldn't stand hearing Yanwan compare him with Ling Yunche.

Encouraged by Yan Wan, Jin Zhong must put more effort into making this matter a success and save face in front of Yan Wan!

Jin Zhong said, "What is Ling Yunche? He has served the emperor for so many years, but he is still a guard. It's bad enough that he can't get promoted, and he can't get along well with other guards."

"He is not capable enough and is afraid of messing up things, so he persuaded the Queen to regret it. I am ten times and a hundred times better than him! Master, think carefully, what have you entrusted to me over the years that I have not accomplished?"

Seeing Jinzhong's serious look, Yan Wan chuckled, "I'm not going to tease you anymore. Then tell me, is there any way to let them meet without letting others know that this was planned by me?"

Jinzhong immediately promised, "Han Qi escaped death but his body is very weak. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long. In two days, the emperor will go to worship his ancestors and will not be in the Old Summer Palace. I will create an opportunity for them to meet."

……

The emperor and the empress left the Old Summer Palace together to worship their ancestors. They originally wanted to take the two imperial concubines with them, but Yan Wan became pregnant again, so she stayed in the Old Summer Palace to recuperate.

Han Xiangjian was not qualified to attend the sacrifice because of her status as a concubine, but she was thinking about Han Qi and wanted to take the risk of meeting Han Qi while the emperor was away.

Han Xiangjian wanted to meet Han Qi in the name of meeting a member of the Han tribe, but the emperor and empress were away, so Yan Wan was in charge of all matters in Yuanmingyuan.

In order to meet Han Qi, Han Xiangjian had to step into Yan Wan's bedroom for the first time.

"Your concubine pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Ling!"

Yan Wan naturally knew why Han Xiangjian came, and said with a smile: "Please sit down. You are such a rare guest. Why did Rongpin come to visit me today?"

Han Xiangjian was influenced by Ruyi and Hai Lan, and she despised women like Yan Wan who admired wealth and glory.

Although she was granted the residence in Baoyue Tower, where she could often meet with clansmen and learn the rules in Yikun Palace, it was Yan Wan who suggested this to the Emperor.

But Han Xiangjian never appreciated Yanwan's kindness and always had a cold expression on her face every time she saw Yanwan.

After hearing Yan Wan's words, Han Xiangjian couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed as she realized that she hadn't come to see him for no reason.

"I have been in the palace for more than a year, but I have not yet paid a formal visit to the Imperial Concubine Ling. I have failed to show my courtesy. I hope the Imperial Concubine Ling will forgive me!"

Yan Wan smiled and said, "Sister Rongpin, you are too polite. Please tell me what you want to ask. If it is within my ability, I will definitely agree to it."

Han Xiangjian hurriedly said, "I miss home so much lately. There are many Han tribe members accompanying me in Yuanmingyuan. I want to meet them. I hope the imperial concubine will allow me to do so!"

Yan Wan responded, "It's human nature to be homesick. The Emperor has allowed my sister to meet her clansmen, so how could I refuse? Go back and wait. I will send someone to take them to see my sister tomorrow."

Han Xiangjian didn't expect it to be so smooth. She thought that since Concubine Ling was bullying and spoiled, she would take the opportunity to put on airs in front of her when she found out that she needed help. Han Xiangjian was ready for a verbal battle with Concubine Ling.

Han Xiang was stunned and said happily: "Thank you, Empress Ling Guifei!"

Yan Wan reminded her, "The Emperor took some of his guards with him to worship his ancestors, and your bedroom is close to the Empress' bedroom. There are not enough guards in the palace, so even if you are homesick, don't stay too long."

"When the emperor returns to the Old Summer Palace, my sister wants to see her clan members again. There will be time."

Han Xiangjian nodded in agreement, but thought to herself that it turned out that arranging a meeting was not as difficult as she had imagined.

Why didn't the Empress make arrangements after half a month? Why didn't the Emperor summon her before she left to pay respect to the ancestors?

Could it be that Concubine Ling’s power in the harem is so great that it can cover the sky with one hand?

When Yan Wan heard Han Xiangjian's doubts, her expression remained calm, but she said in her heart.

"I specifically asked the system to save Han Qi's life just for today. The Queen's performance was within my expectations. I hope you won't disappoint me. I still want to see more fun between you and the Queen!"
