The Apo Master dressed up as Concubine Ling and killed the Ruyi sisters

When officials come to meet the emperor, the concubines should avoid them.

Yan Wan and Qingpin took their leave, saying, "I'll take my leave first."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You can also listen to what the Imperial Observatory says about the revelations from heaven."

Yan Wan flattered, "Your Majesty has been touring Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, a scene of prosperity. God must have sent down an auspicious omen!"

Who doesn't like to hear nice words? The emperor was pleased with Yan Wan's flattery and wanted to know what the Imperial Observatory had to say.

The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory paid his respects and said, "Your humble servant greets His Majesty, the Empress, the Concubine Ling, and the Concubine Qing!"

"Get up, what do you want to report to me?" asked the emperor.

The chief envoy of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said, "Your Majesty, I observed the sky at night and found that the Moon Star was hit by a small star attached to the Purple Star, which may have hindered the Moon Star!"

Obstruction? Everyone's expression changed.

The Purple Star represents the Emperor, and the Moon Star represents the Empress. Doesn't this mean that the Empress and the Emperor are in conflict? !

Ruyi immediately reprimanded the Imperial Observatory's chief envoy, saying, "What nonsense! Although I don't understand astrology, I know that the Purple Star and the Moon Star are both auspicious stars. How can they conflict with each other? Don't exaggerate!"

The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory could not bear such a huge blame, so he knelt down and explained.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report this! Your Majesty has misunderstood my meaning! I did not say that the Purple Star and the Moon Star are in conflict, but that there is a small star around the Purple Star!"

"It's not as serious as the Queen said. It's just a little bit of an impact. There are ways to avoid it!"

"The little star in Ziwei Star? Could it be referring to the emperor's offspring?!" Concubine Qing said to herself.

The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory hurriedly said, "Yes, what Concubine Qing said is absolutely right!"

Offspring? Although the emperor has many offspring, including the ninth prince, not many are still alive, and there are even fewer princesses, only two.

The Fifth Prince in the palace just reported that his cold had not been cured for a long time, and also said that Concubine Shu was too worried and her pregnancy was a little unstable. Could this be fulfilling the prophecy?

The emperor hurriedly asked: "Explain it clearly!"

The chief envoy of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory said: "According to the astronomical phenomena, the small star suddenly appeared and disrupted the order of the stars, which caused the collision."

"If it's a princess, it's fine. But if it's a prince, he will clash with the moon and the stars!"

Suddenly appeared? The emperor and Ruyi immediately thought of the dragon fetus in Yihuan's belly.

Yihuan had been favored by the emperor for many years, and had been prevented from getting pregnant by the emperor in the name of abortion medicine. However, she listened to Ruyi's advice and stopped taking the abortion medicine on her own.

Yihuan's child came suddenly and at an inopportune time, so this astronomical phenomenon occurred, right?

The emperor pressed the issue: "Didn't you just say there was a way to avoid it? Tell me now!"

The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory replied: "It's not serious actually. As long as this prince or princess keeps a distance from the most noble woman in the palace and doesn't see each other, it can be avoided."

"Is it that simple? Nothing else needs to be done?" asked the emperor.

The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory affirmed: "As long as we do this, we can live in peace!"

Ruyi questioned, "As the head of the harem, I am the legitimate mother of all the princes and princesses in the palace, and I have the responsibility to raise and take care of them. You mean to say that I can't meet Shu Fei and her son, right?"

The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory said, "The Empress is indeed the master of the harem, but the one who can cause such a conflict must be a woman with children. The Empress can rest assured."

Concubine Qing realized it later and exclaimed in surprise: "You mean the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu's little prince can't meet each other? What if they meet? Will it hurt the Queen Mother or the little prince?"

After listening to the explanation given by the Chief of the Imperial Observatory, Ruyi felt flushed on her face. She thought that the Chief of the Imperial Observatory was deliberately mocking her in public for not having any children!

The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory said, "In reply to Concubine Qing, the Empress Dowager is blessed by the gods, so naturally no harm will be done to her. It will only affect her own children and the little prince, causing them all kinds of troubles!"

After hearing what the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory said, the emperor felt much more at ease.

Then he said, "I know, you go down, don't spread it!"

"I obey your command! I'll take my leave!" The envoy of the Imperial Observatory retreated.

Concubine Qing didn't know what she was thinking. Ruyi asked Yanwan to remain silent and asked, "Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu have always had close contacts and even call each other sisters. After hearing what the Imperial Observatory said, why didn't Concubine Ling say anything?"

"I was just surprised, and when I heard the envoy of the Imperial Observatory say there was a way to avoid it, I thought that as long as I followed his instructions, there would be no harm to the Empress Dowager, the young prince, or Sister Shufei, so I didn't say anything." Yan Wan explained.

Ruyi asked, "So, Concubine Ling believed what the Imperial Observatory said? You and Concubine Shu are so close, but I was wrong?!"

Ruyi said to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. How can you trust the words of the Imperial Observatory?"

The emperor was in a complicated mood, and after a while he said, "The child in Shu Fei's belly is also my child. How could I not love him? How could I not wish him well? You all should withdraw first, and let me think about it carefully."

Yan Wan and Concubine Qing left, and not long after they walked, they saw Concubine Mei coming here. However, as soon as Yan Wan came over, Concubine Mei hurriedly turned around and left.

Yan Wan called Meipin and asked, "Sister Meipin? Is Sister Meipin here to see the Emperor as well?"

Meipin didn't expect to meet Yanwan and Qingpin here. She and Qingpin looked at each other and then both looked away.

Meipin was a little embarrassed, and then she said, "I know that Concubine Ling is favored by the emperor, and yesterday she received two pearl flowers specially made by the emperor. If you can come to see the emperor, why can't I come?"

Yan Wan smiled and said, "I don't mean that. How about I help you tell the emperor?"

Meipin hastily refused: "No, no need! I'll go back first!"

That night, the emperor summoned Yan Wan to sleep with him again. The emperor hesitated and asked, "Yan Wan, what do you think of the prediction of the Imperial Observatory?"

Yan Wan was also a little hesitant. She didn't know how to say it so that the emperor wouldn't think that the sisterhood between her and Yihuan was fake, but also so that the emperor wouldn't be too afraid of Yihuan and refuse to see Yihuan and her son again like in the TV series.

The emperor said: "Just tell me, I will forgive you!"

Yan Wan chose her words carefully: "What the Imperial Observatory said does have its reasons. This concerns the safety of the Empress Dowager and the young prince. I think it is better to believe it than not to believe it."

"I heard from the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the Queen Mother attaches great importance to the child in Sister Yihuan's belly and sends all the good things to Chuxiu Palace."

"It would be cruel if the grandparents and grandchildren could not see each other. I think the celestial phenomena are constantly changing. Maybe in a few years, the little star will no longer impact the moon and star, and the empress dowager and the little prince will be able to enjoy the happiness of family life together. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The emperor had already made this decision in his mind, he just wanted to hear other people's opinions.

When he heard Yan Wan say that the Queen Mother valued Yihuan's child, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt that the Queen Mother had other purposes.

In this case, wouldn't it be better if we couldn't meet?

The emperor said: "What you said makes sense."

Yan Wan knew that the emperor had made up his mind, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Your Majesty, no parent wants to hear bad news about their child. Since the celestial phenomena can be explained, Your Majesty should not let Sister Yihuan know about this."

The emperor laughed and said, "I haven't told you yet, but you told me first."
