Concubine Mei is dead, Concubine Jia is confined to make prayer flags, and Concubine Qing is out of favor.

The Emperor has recently appointed many concubines as concubines. Apart from the Empress and a few favorite concubines such as Concubine Ling and Concubine Shu, he mostly favors these newcomers.

The emperor is already in his forties and has been feeling tired lately. Imperial Doctor Jiang has been treating the emperor, but has not been able to achieve the desired effect. The emperor wants to use deer blood, but Imperial Doctor Jiang says that deer blood is too potent and does not recommend it to the emperor.

Ruyi also noticed that the emperor had been feeling quite depressed recently because of his aging appearance, and he often summoned people to sleep with him.

Ruyi was worried about the emperor's health, so she asked Rong Pei to ask Li Yu about the emperor's daily food, clothing and daily living.

Jinzhong took the opportunity and went to Yongshou Palace again.

"The Emperor has been in a bad mood recently and is very dissatisfied with Jiang Yubin's medical skills. He wants to take deer blood to strengthen his body. Would you like to offer the Emperor deer blood wine?"

Yan Wan didn't care. "I am still favored in this palace. Why should I use this deer blood to please the emperor? I heard that the queen has been paying attention to the emperor's health recently. She always likes to find fault with me. Why should I give her this handle?"

Jinzhong felt that Yanwan's analysis was correct and nodded, "Rong Pei from Yikun Palace did come to ask my master, and I think my master also told me that the emperor wanted to use deer blood."

Yan Wan smiled, hinting, "My position is stable and I have no shortage of favor from the emperor. What do you think those concubines would do if they knew about this?"

Jinzhong suddenly realized and said with a smile: "If they knew about this trick, they would definitely compete to offer deer blood wine to the emperor. Then when the queen blames them, who knows if they will hate the queen in their hearts?"

Yan Wan smiled and said, "Then I will wait and see the show."

Judging from the time, the queen should already be pregnant with the twelfth prince. In the original book, the original owner presented deer blood wine to the emperor and regained his favor.

However, because the emperor indulged in excessive sexual activities, the queen asked Rong Pei to bring sobering soup to Yongshou Palace in a grand manner to embarrass the emperor in public.

If the Queen had not suddenly become pregnant at that time, it would be hard to say how the Emperor and Queen would have backed down, but it was a pity that the original owner had to take the blame.

This time, Yan Wan not only has to avoid it herself, but also has to make enemies for the Queen.

Naturally, no one dares to mess with her when she is in favor, but once she shows signs of falling out of favor, how could those cunning people in the palace miss the opportunity to take advantage of her misfortune?

Soon, Jinzhong spread the news that the emperor wanted to take deer blood, and several concubines who had just been favored by the emperor began to have ideas.

In the end, in order to please the emperor and become his concubine as soon as possible, Li Changzai presented deer blood wine to the emperor when she slept with him.

After taking the deer blood wine, the emperor felt full of strength and looked radiant, as if he had suddenly become a dozen years younger. He was very happy.

The emperor often summoned Li Changzai to sleep with him, and she suddenly became the most popular concubine in the palace.

Ruyi felt strange. Firstly, Li Chang had an ordinary family background, and secondly, she was not a fairy-like figure. Why did the emperor suddenly favor her so much?

Ruyi summoned Li Yu to Yikun Palace and asked, "Li Yu, what's wrong with the emperor recently? Eight out of ten times he summoned Li Changzai to sleep with him?"

Li Yu mentioned Li Chang's disgusted expression and replied, "Your Majesty, you don't know that Li Chang made some deer blood wine for the emperor some time ago. The emperor was very happy and often visited Li Chang in the palace."

Ruyi was shocked. "Deer blood wine? How dare Concubine Li give the emperor deer blood wine?!"

Li Yu explained: "The Emperor was dissatisfied with the mild conditioning prescription of Dr. Jiang, and felt that it was too slow to take effect. He had explicitly asked Dr. Jiang to use deer blood as medicine. It was Dr. Jiang who said that deer blood would damage the dragon's body, so the Emperor gave up."

"But whether it was by accident or she heard the news from somewhere, Li Changzai actually ordered people to find deer blood outside the palace to make wine and present it to the emperor."

"After taking it, the emperor felt very energetic and happy, so he naturally visited Li Changzai in the palace more often."

Ruyi said angrily, "Li Changzai offered the emperor deer blood wine to consolidate his favor. Is the emperor following her lead? Since you knew that the emperor was taking deer blood wine, why didn't you report it to me earlier?!"

Li Yu was scolded by Ruyi in front of the palace maids in Yikun Palace. He felt that he had lost face as the chief eunuch and felt angry, ashamed and resentful.

I am the chief eunuch beside the emperor, not one of the three treasures of your Yikun Palace. Why should I tell you the whereabouts of the emperor?

In the past, you did not allow Suo Xin to pay her respects in Yikun Palace in order to protect Rong Pei, but now you are yelling at me. This is really unreasonable!

Although Li Yu was annoyed, he said, "Queen, calm down. The Emperor has long been dissatisfied with the slow effect of Jiang Imperial Physician's prescription. How can he not take the deer blood wine given by Li Changzai? I am just a servant. If I say too much, the Emperor will be unhappy. There is nothing I can do."

Ruyi asked, "Who will the emperor summon to sleep with you tonight?"

Li Yu replied, "The Imperial Household Department has not come to ask the Emperor to turn over the cards yet, so I don't know."

Ruyi said, "If the emperor still wants Li Chang to sleep with him tonight, you must persuade the emperor not to take deer blood wine anymore. If the emperor doesn't listen, send someone to tell me immediately!"

Li Yu felt embarrassed, but had to agree.

Sure enough, the emperor summoned Li Changzai to sleep with him tonight. In order to seek excitement, Li Changzai increased the dosage. The emperor was too excited and Li Changzai could not handle it alone, so she simply summoned other Changzai from the same palace to serve the emperor together.

As soon as the emperor came to Li Changzai's palace, he asked her to take deer blood wine, and Li Yu didn't even have the chance to speak. Li Yu was dissatisfied with being treated like a palace maid of Yikun and being scolded by the queen in public. He was still hesitating whether to report it to the queen.

Who would have thought that the Emperor would summon the four concubines to sleep with him often? Li Yu felt that the Empress would definitely blame him if she found out tomorrow. He was on duty again tonight, and Jin Bao was staying in the Yangxin Palace, so he had no choice but to ask Jin Zhong to report to the Yikun Palace as soon as possible.

Jinzhong agreed and took a shortcut to Yongshou Palace.

"Master Ling, it's done!"

Yan Wan smiled and asked, "Jinzhong, based on your understanding of the emperor, will the emperor be more angry if the queen ruins his good fortune now, or will he be more angry if the queen blocks his way tomorrow morning?"

Jinzhong thought for a moment and said, "Now is the time when all the concubines are resting. I think the emperor will go to the queen's palace if he goes there now. If it's tomorrow, I'm afraid the queen will not let this matter go easily after hearing the news, right?"

Yan Wan said, "Yes, the Queen has already gone to bed, so please don't disturb her sweet dreams."

Jinzhong smiled and said, "Tonight, I will let the Empress and the Queen have a good sleep. I am afraid that tomorrow, the Empress will not only not let go of the four maids, but also my master."

Yan Wan said, "I heard that the Queen summoned your master during the day. If your master really wanted to, why would he wait until this hour to send you to Yikun Palace? Since there is already a rift between the two of them, I might as well make it bigger!"

Jinzhong said, "Your Majesty is wise. It is getting late. Please take a rest. I will try to arrange for the Queen to go tomorrow."
