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

One day, the concubines came to pay their respects to Ruyi.

Hai Lan looked at Ruyi's gradually growing belly and recalled Jiang Yubin saying that Ruyi was pregnant with another prince. She felt that it was a blessing from heaven and that the position of crown prince was in Ruyi's pocket. She was very happy.

When Concubine Jia thought about how Ruyi and Hailan had teamed up to make Yongxuan disabled, she felt so angry that she couldn't help but say a few sarcastic words.

"The Queen's pregnancy was quite peaceful this time. She didn't like spicy food as much as when she was pregnant with the twelfth prince. When the concubines came to the Yikun Palace to pay their respects, they were choked by the lingering spicy smell and almost cried."

Ruyi changed the subject and said, "Maybe the baby in my belly is a quiet one, not as lively as Yingpin's Sixth Princess."

When Balin Meiruo found out that she had given birth to a princess, she was very disappointed and felt very ashamed. She was afraid that she would be ridiculed by the concubines in the harem.

But suddenly she changed her mind and thought, I am also a princess, am I not also the most favored princess among my brothers and sisters?

Balin Meiruo felt that with the status of their Balin tribe among the 49 Mongolian tribes, even if she gave birth to a princess, she would still be favored and valued by the emperor. Besides, she was still so young and had plenty of chances to give birth to a prince. Why should she be discouraged or anxious?

Not long after the sixth princess was born, the emperor issued an edict to restore Balin Meiruo to her position as concubine, and Balin Meiruo felt even more that what she thought was right.

Balin Meiruo was just a concubine, and because of her nonsense, she offended the Queen Mother. Originally, she was not qualified to raise the Sixth Princess herself, but in the palace, except for Ruyi, Balin Meiruo could not get along well with anyone, and no one was willing to raise the Sixth Princess.

Secondly, the Queen Mother saw that Balin Meiruo had indeed given birth to a princess, and she resented her words that mocked the princess who was to be married off to a foreign country. The Queen Mother wanted to see what kind of child Balin Meiruo, who was so ignorant and arrogant, would raise, and see if the Sixth Princess would be sent to marry off in the future.

Balin Meiruo proudly took over the conversation, "The Sixth Princess has our Mongolian blood, so of course she is as heroic and generous as us Mongolian women!"

Balin Meiruo wanted to find fault with Yan Wan before she finished speaking. "The Sixth Princess is already seven months pregnant, why is Concubine Ling still pregnant? I have asked around, Concubine Ling has been serving the Emperor for almost ten years, could it be that Concubine Ling has some kind of health problem that prevents her from having children?!"

Yi Huan, who regarded Yan Wan as her sister, could not stand such humiliating words and rebuked: "What are you saying, Yingpin? How can you, a mere concubine, be disrespectful to a concubine?!"

Yan Wan was about to speak when she felt a little unwell. Yi Huan looked at Yan Wan's ugly face and thought that Yan Wan was angry about Yingpin's words, so she hurried to comfort Yan Wan.

At this time, Jiang Yubin came to check the pulse of Ruyi and the fifth princess. In order to show the Empress Dowager's kindness, Ruyi asked Jiang Yubin to check the pulse of Yanwan as well.

Balin Meiruo took the opportunity to mock: "See, what I said was right, wasn't it? Imperial Doctor Jiang should give Madam Ling Fei a thorough diagnosis and treatment, prescribe some medicine to take good care of her body, and don't rush to sleep with her. After all, if she is not in good health, it is useless to sleep with her! It is better to..."

Jiang Yubin suddenly knelt down and announced the good news to Ruyi and Yanwan with a smile on his face: "Empress, congratulations to Concubine Ling. This is a happy pulse. Concubine Ling is already two months pregnant!"

Balin Meiruo was choked by Jiang Yubin's announcement of the good news before he could finish his sarcastic words. His originally smug and sarcastic face instantly turned the color of liver due to anger.

All the concubines were shocked, and Yi Huanxi said: "Sister Yanwan is pregnant? Is it true? This is great!"

Concubine Chun, Concubine Yu and others also smiled and congratulated Yan Wan. Yan Wan was surprised and happy, "I'm pregnant? No wonder I've been feeling unwell lately, so this is the reason!"

Ruyi and Hailan were also shocked when they heard the news. They thought that Yanwan had not been harmed by Linglingxiang and had always been favored, but she had not been pregnant for ten years, so they thought that Yanwan really had a physical problem as Yingpin said.

Originally, they were still laughing at Yan Wan in private, but unexpectedly, when Yingpin was mocking her, Yan Wan was suddenly diagnosed with pregnancy. Isn't this a slap in the face of all the concubines? !

Especially Jiang Yubin's expression of sincere congratulations made Ruyi and Hai Lan feel uncomfortable. They felt that Jiang Yubin was such a disloyal and ungrateful bastard who had forgotten who his master was!

The news of Yan Wan's pregnancy immediately reached the Yangxin Palace. The emperor was very happy to hear it, but because he was discussing something and could not get away, he asked Jinzhong to go to Yongshou Palace first with a generous reward.

After Jinzhong sent the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs away, he knelt down excitedly at Yanwan's feet and said happily, "Congratulations, my lady! Congratulations, my lady! After serving the emperor for ten years, you are finally pregnant with a dragon fetus!"

Yan Wan found it funny, "Why do you look more excited than me?"

How could Jinzhong not be excited? "Although the emperor has always doted on you, there has never been a shortage of concubines in the palace. If you want to stand firm in the palace for a long time, you still need to have children! I hope your child will be a prince this time, so that we will be qualified to compete for that position!"

Yanwan felt that Jinzhong was thinking too long. Yanwan knew that she was pregnant with a princess and that she would be the mother of the next emperor, so she was not as excited and anxious as Jinzhong.

Yan Wan asked, "How is it going?"

Jinzhong calmed down his excitement and said, "Empress Jia has already contacted Grandma Tian and the people from the Imperial Observatory. Grandma Tian is in urgent need of money and she holds a grudge against the Queen for withholding her reward, so she quickly agreed."

"And the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory got a taste of success last time. He also said that the baby in the empress's belly was a good omen, and Concubine Jia promised him a huge profit. How could he not agree?"

"The emperor has been worried about the Junggar tribe in recent years. Now everything is ready, just waiting to put down the rebellion. The queen in the palace is pregnant with a son. The emperor is very happy to hear that, and naturally he is looking forward to the birth of the baby in the queen's belly."

Yan Wan nodded, and Jin Zhong continued, "Everything is up to Concubine Jia. Your daughter is pregnant, so don't worry so much. When you are older, according to palace rules, the old lady can come to the palace to accompany you during the birth."

When I think of Wei Yang's domineering and vulgar behavior, it is no wonder that in the original book, after the cause of death of the Fifth Princess and the Thirteenth Prince was exposed, Ruyi secretly made moves and falsely accused Wei Yang of practicing witchcraft and cursing the Queen and the Crown Prince!

Thinking of this, Yan Wan suddenly felt a little scared. Jin Zhong saw that Yan Wan looked unhappy and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Yan Wan was still a little worried, so she instructed, "Jinzhong, keep an eye on my mother and Zuolu, and don't let them offend anyone. Also, keep a close eye on the whereabouts of the Queen and Yupin, to prevent them from having any evil ideas!"

Jinzhong said, "In the past few years, the old lady and Master Zuolu have changed a lot, and the neighbors have praised them a lot. After saving the emperor, Master Zuolu became a minor official. With your guidance and support, he received many awards and was even promoted by the emperor last year. You don't have to worry."

Yan Wan said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. You didn't see the faces of the Queen and Yupin when they found out that I was pregnant. They looked like they wanted to eat me! If Jiafei succeeds, the Queen will be so sad that she will definitely investigate thoroughly. There's no guarantee that we won't be implicated. We have to be prepared in advance!"

Jinzhong was startled and said solemnly, "I'll be watching you, so you can rest assured, Master!"
