The Apo Master dressed up as Concubine Ling and killed the Ruyi sisters
Chapter 44 Heart to Heart
The Emperor will be accompanying the Empress Dowager on a southern tour to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to observe the people's sentiments. Yihuan is pregnant and it is not suitable for her to travel by boat, so the Emperor lets Concubine Yu and Noble Lady Wan stay in the palace to take care of Yihuan.
After Yihuan got pregnant, she was very happy, but also very nervous. She often knelt in the temple and prayed to God to bless her baby to be born safely and to bless her and the emperor to keep their love. When Yanwan came to visit Yihuan, she often teased her.
Because the Queen Mother wanted to raise the baby in Yihuan's belly, she not only often sent Aunt Fujia to reward Yihuan, but also asked about Yihuan's food and other things.
The other concubines were extremely envious when they saw this, but Yihuan vaguely guessed the Queen Mother's plan and was very worried about it.
As the day of the southern tour was approaching, Ruyi and others came to visit Yihuan and told her to take good care of her pregnancy in the palace and wait for the emperor to return.
Before the concubines left, Yihuan's personal maid Hexi secretly pulled Chunchan's sleeve, and Chunchan understood, and waited for the concubines to return to the palace. Yanwan quietly returned to Chuxiu Palace.
Yan Wan asked, "Sister, is there anything you can't say in front of the Queen?"
After Yihuan guessed the Queen Mother's plan, she was reluctant to give her child, who she had carried for ten months, to the Queen Mother to raise. Yihuan knew that the Queen Mother wanted to use her child as a pawn to interfere in the affairs of the harem.
She and the emperor finally had a child, so how could she bear to let her child be used as a pawn? How could she bear to let the queen mother use this as a bargaining chip to plot against the emperor?
But after all, she had the opportunity to serve the Emperor because she was recommended by the Empress Dowager. She had no right to refuse, nor did she have the ability to stop it from happening.
She was very conflicted, and after much thought, she could only seek help from others. But in the entire harem, although she had a good relationship with the Queen, the Queen had no children yet, so she was afraid that she could not understand her feelings.
Secondly, the Empress Dowager once helped the Empress Dowager plot to have Princess Hejing, daughter of Empress Xiaoxian, marry far away in Mongolia. From this point of view, Yihuan did not dare to trust the Empress Dowager.
It doesn't matter if the task cannot be accomplished, but don't let the news leak out and let the Queen Mother know that she has ulterior motives. I'm afraid that the day she gives birth will be the day when mother and child will be separated!
Concubine Yu has a history of plotting against the prince, so Yihuan doesn't dare to ask her for help. Concubine Chun is timid and can't be relied on. Concubine Jia is brave and resourceful, but it's too risky to cooperate with her. Who knows when she will be betrayed by her?
Meipin lost her child, and he could understand her pain, but her temperament became more and more strange, and she had long lost the emperor's favor. Concubine Qing and Concubine Wan were even less favored.
Yihuan thought about it and decided that only Yanwan could help her.
Facing Yan Wan's question, Yi Huan was very embarrassed, she didn't know how to say it. She also didn't know if Yan Wan would be scared after she said it, or if she would help her.
After hearing Yihuan's thoughts, Yanwan said sincerely, "Sister Yihuan, I always say that you are my master. If you have any difficulties, please tell me as soon as possible. Even if I can't help you, I will feel better if you tell me."
"Sister has always been weak, and now that she is pregnant, she needs to take better care of herself. She can't be worried all the time."
Yi Huan was moved and finally made up his mind and said, "Sister Yan Wan, I do have something difficult to express and I want to ask you for help."
Yanwan didn't respond and waited for Yihuan to continue.
Yi Huan said in embarrassment: "Sister, you know that I was recommended to the palace by the Queen Mother, but you may not know that I am the Queen Mother's person! I fell in love with the Emperor at first sight, and the Queen Mother promised to help me fulfill my wish. In return, I have to spy on the Queen Mother and speak for her in front of the Emperor!"
Yan Wan recalled: "But my sister seems to have never heard that my sister has said anything or done anything for the Queen Mother."
Hearing this, Yi Huan was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister, you know that sister loves the emperor wholeheartedly and can't bear to see him embarrassed. So no matter how the Queen Mother forced her, she was always unwilling to speak for her. Sister knows that she has lost her credibility, but..."
"I understand sister, but what do you want me to do?" Yan Wan asked straight to the point.
Yihuan glanced at Hexi and Chunchan cautiously, and the two of them left Yihuan's bedroom to prevent a third person from eavesdropping.
Yi Huan said, "My sister has also seen that the Queen Mother values my baby very much and has been rewarding me constantly. I suspect that the Queen Mother wants to raise the child herself!"
Yan Wan was stunned, and looked at Yi Huan and said, "So, sister, do you want me to find a way to stop the Queen Mother?!"
Yan Wan certainly knew the Queen Mother's plan, but she didn't expect Yi Huan to choose her to help. After these years of getting to know each other, did Yi Huan trust her so much?
Yihuan knew that this was too difficult. If she didn't handle it well, Yanwan would be punished by the Queen Mother, but she really had no other choice.
Yihuan held Yanwan's hands with both hands and begged, "Sister, I know it's hard to ask, but the emperor has always doted on you in this palace, and he has granted you the title of concubine to assist the queen in handling palace affairs. The emperor trusts me and often praises me for my intelligence. Sister, I really have no choice. Sister, please have pity on me! Sister, I beg you!"
Yan Wan sighed and said, "The reason why the Queen Mother became the Queen Mother is that ordinary schemes cannot be hidden from the Queen Mother's eyes. If Sister wants to keep the child by her side and take care of him, she must pay a price!"
Yihuan felt that there was hope. She knew that Yanwan was a smart and kind-hearted woman. She hurriedly said, "As long as I can keep the child in Chuxiu Palace, I will pay any price! Sister, do you have an idea? Tell me quickly!"
"Sister, if you were carrying a prince in your belly, and you were born into a prominent family like the Yehenara family, don't you have any thoughts about that position?" Yan Wan asked tentatively.
Yi Huan was stunned for a moment before she understood what Yan Wan was referring to. Yi Huan said sincerely, "Sister, you must have heard the rumor about my ancestor, right? With this rumor, you have no chance of becoming the emperor. The harem has a master, and the emperor and empress are deeply in love. I believe they will have a legitimate son soon."
"My sister's wish is to give birth to the emperor's child and stay with the emperor forever. Otherwise, the queen mother will raise my child. If I have this wish, I don't need to ask my sister for help."
That makes sense. Yan Wan nodded and said, "It's good that sister can think positively. Since sister only wants the family to be reunited, then things will be much simpler."
Yi Huan urged, "Sister, please tell me what you can do. How can I keep my child without hurting the relationship between me and the emperor?"
Yan Wan looked around cautiously and lowered her voice to say, "Before the Eastern Tour, the Imperial Observatory predicted that Empress Xiaoxian should not accompany him, otherwise there would be disaster. But the Emperor did not take it seriously, and sure enough, Empress Xiaoxian fell into the water and died."
"Since then, the emperor has believed in the theory of celestial phenomena. If you want to fulfill your wish, we will do this..."
After hearing Yan Wan's plan, Yi Huan was both happy and worried. She said, "Although my sister's plan is good, how can I, a concubine, influence the celestial phenomena? Moreover, it is not easy for me to do anything if I stay in the palace."
Yan Wan said: "Since you trust me, I'll leave everything to you. I'll just stay in the palace and take care of your pregnancy."
Yi Huan was touched and said, "Sister Yan Wan, you are so kind. The Queen and Concubine Yu often dislike you. You know, they have poor judgment!"
