After Yihuan brought the Tenth Prince back to Chuxiu Palace, the Queen Mother still refused to give up. For some reason, every time the Queen Mother came to Chuxiu Palace, the Tenth Prince's illness became more serious.

When the Emperor and Yihuan saw this, they felt that this was in line with the celestial phenomena, but the Empress Dowager was the elder and the Emperor could not forbid her from visiting the Tenth Prince in Chuxiu Palace.

The emperor had no choice but to secretly summon the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory and ask him if he had any solution. The chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory had fabricated this astronomical phenomenon because of bribery from Yan Wan.

Today, the Emperor suddenly summoned the Chief of the Imperial Observatory. The Chief of the Imperial Observatory was not prepared and did not expect that the Emperor would bring up this matter again.

He couldn't tell the emperor that the celestial phenomenon was fake, so he could only make the best of it. "Your Majesty, since the celestial phenomenon has had a bad influence on the Queen Mother and the Tenth Prince, in order to avoid this bad influence, you can give the Tenth Prince another name."

Giving him another name would be like asking the Tenth Prince to recognize someone else as his parents. The Imperial Observatory's chief envoy felt that the emperor was somewhat displeased, so he added.

"This is just a trick. I know that the Emperor and Concubine Shu are reluctant to let the Tenth Prince leave the palace, so they can find some excuse to let him continue to live in Xiefang Palace."

"After a few years, when the Tenth Prince is in good health and the celestial phenomena have changed, there will be no need to hide it like this. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The emperor felt a little relieved after hearing this, but Yihuan was willing to be honest with him for the sake of the Tenth Prince and let the Tenth Prince recognize other people's parents. How could Yihuan be willing? !

The emperor told Yihuan what the envoy of the Imperial Observatory had said. He thought Yihuan would strongly oppose it, but he didn't expect Yihuan to just be stunned for a moment and then agreed to the proposal.

The emperor was surprised. "Shu Fei, do you understand what I said? Do you know what it means if you agree?"

Although Yihuan was reluctant, she had thought it through in the past few years. Since she had no thoughts about the position, she would be satisfied as long as she could see the Tenth Prince from time to time.

"I know that I made a deal with the Queen Mother because I loved the Emperor and wanted to be able to enter the palace and accompany the Emperor. I know that I have let the Queen Mother down in this matter. I can only work like a slave in my next life to repay the Queen Mother's kindness!"

"For many years, I have been caught between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. It is really uncomfortable. I am willing to suffer this for the Emperor, but I don't want the Tenth Prince to be like me!"

"The Tenth Prince is already weak and sickly, and I cannot bear to see him become a pawn of the imperial power. I only hope that the Tenth Prince can grow up safely and healthily. I will be satisfied if I can see him often!"

"The Queen Mother is not someone who will give up easily. I do not want to live in fear every day, nor do I want to disturb the Emperor over this matter. Since the Chief of the Imperial Observatory said so, it means that God's will cannot be forced."

The emperor was deeply moved. He only knew that Yihuan was deeply in love with him before. But because of the queen mother, the emperor always had a thorn in his heart.

Until today, the emperor saw that Yihuan was willing to betray the Queen Mother and give up the future of the Tenth Prince for him. The emperor was moved, and his previous suspicion and fear disappeared instantly.

Soon, the emperor issued an edict to give the tenth prince to a prince, but in the name of educating the royal family, he kept the tenth prince in Xiefang Palace.

The Queen Mother naturally refused to agree, but the imperial decree had already been issued and she could not disobey.

Strangely enough, after the emperor issued the decree, the tenth prince's illness gradually improved. The emperor believed even more in the astronomical observations of the Imperial Observatory.

Only after the Tenth Prince's health improved did Yihuan feel in the mood to pay her respects to Ruyi.

The emperor named the tenth prince Yongyue. When the concubines learned that Yongyue was no longer the emperor's prince in name, they were all happy that there would be one less competitor in the future.

Concubine Jia smiled and said, "The emperor gave up the Tenth Prince for his health, but he didn't expect that his health would actually get better. Concubine Shu, I heard that the emperor asked you about this as well?"

Yihuan knew that Concubine Jia and the others were gloating over their misfortune, but as long as Yongyue could grow up safely and healthily by her side, she would be content.

Yi Huan said calmly: "Yong Yue's condition has improved, and I have nothing else to ask for."

Apart from Yanwan, only Concubine Chun could understand Yihuan's feelings.

Concubine Chun said, "Ever since the fire, Yongzhang has been suffering from a cough that has not gotten better. Although I am anxious, there is nothing I can do."

"As a mother, I just want my children to be safe and healthy. Sister Shu Fei, don't worry too much."

Yi Huan could tell that Concubine Chun was speaking from the heart, so she nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for your concern, Concubine Chun!"

Ruyi was older when she gave birth to the twelfth prince, and although he was a legitimate son, he was ranked low. In the fight for that position, she was inevitably at a disadvantage.

The birth of the Tenth Prince eliminated a competitor for the Twelfth Prince. Ruyi was very happy that Yihuan was not a potential threat to her.

It is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Ruyi wanted to win Yihuan over so that Yihuan would have someone to rely on in the future.

Thinking of this, Ruyi smiled and said to Yihuan: "Yihuan, you are infatuated with the emperor. I have long said that the emperor will make the decision for you. Now, it has come true."

Yi Huan remained calm, "The Queen is right. I should have explained this to the Emperor earlier."

Ruyi glanced at Yanwan, who was not saying much, and said, "Ling Fei has always been on good terms with Shu Fei. How come I haven't heard that you went to the Emperor to plead for mercy?"

Yan Wan knew that Ruyi would not miss any opportunity to suppress and ridicule her, so she said with a smile: "The emperor is busy with state affairs and does not allow anyone to disturb him in the Yangxin Palace. The emperor loves Sister Yihuan and will make the decision for her. Why should I, a concubine, say anything?"

Ruyi smiled and said, "Really? When Concubine Shu was worried about the Tenth Prince, why didn't you go to Chuxiu Palace to comfort her?"

Yan Wan thought to herself, can I let you know my plan? Look at your smug look, even your attempts to sow discord are so superficial!

How could Yihuan not hear the provocative words? She was unhappy and explained before Yanwan.

"I and Sister Yanwan are as close as sisters. Even if Sister Yanwan is not in the Chuxiu Palace in the future, I can still sense Sister Yanwan's feelings."

"Moreover, what I needed at that time was not comfort, but to see the emperor or Yongyue. Sister Yanwan is just an ordinary concubine like me. How can she help me?"

Yihuan meant to mock Ruyi for not speaking up for her as the queen, but for making things difficult for Yanwan, who no longer had the power to handle palace affairs. When things got better, she came to take credit for it.

But Ruyi misunderstood, thinking that Yihuan was praising her openly and criticizing her secretly, and was deliberately mocking Yanwan.

Ruyi smiled and said, "That's right, Concubine Ling didn't mean to refuse to help you."

Yihuan listened to Ruyi's sarcastic words and felt that she was talking at cross purposes.

In the past, Yihuan thought that Ruyi, like her, truly loved the emperor and was truly on good terms with the six palaces.

But through a series of events such as drinking deer blood wine, indulging Rong Pei, and praying for the fifth princess, Yihuan also saw clearly that Ruyi was an ignorant and sophisticated selfish person.

Yanwan heard Yihuan's dissatisfaction with Ruyi, but before she had time to sigh, she heard a cold mechanical voice in her head.
