The Queen knew that the Emperor wanted to turn over the name of Concubine Wan, so she deliberately spoke first:

"Your Majesty's health has improved recently, so he needs to pay more attention to recuperation and self-control! Especially since Concubine Wan is pregnant recently, she is not suitable to serve the emperor."

Hearing the queen's words, the emperor couldn't help but feel angry, but he knew that as the king of a country, he must always maintain the emperor's dignity and composure.

Moreover, it was the Queen's duty to advise him, and he could not reprimand her in public to avoid losing face.

So, the emperor suppressed his dissatisfaction and said in a calm tone:

"In that case, I won't turn over the cards tonight. I am simply worried about Huanhuan, and I have no other thoughts. I will go and see how she is doing these days."

After saying that, he turned to Su Peisheng beside him and ordered: "Su Peisheng, prepare to go to Suiyuxuan."

As the emperor stood up and left, the atmosphere in the palace became a little solemn.

The queen silently looked at the emperor's back and sighed in her heart.

She had wanted to introduce An Lingrong to the Emperor's bedchamber tonight, and she had even promised An Lingrong during the day that she should just wait for news today.

The Queen understood that if she failed to help An Lingrong sleep with the Emperor, she would not be able to make An Lingrong fully trust her ability to help her gain a foothold in the harem.

At this moment, she thought she could only think of other ways and make other arrangements next time.

Broken Yuxuan

At this moment, Zhen Huan in the Sui Yuxuan had no idea what was happening between the Emperor and the Empress in the Yangxin Palace.

She was sitting quietly in front of the window, gently stroking her belly with her hands, feeling the beating of the new life in her belly.

For Zhen Huan, this child was not only the fruit of her love with Prince Guo, but also the support for her future survival in the palace, because no one knew that when she served the emperor that night, she actually slept with Prince Guo all night.

She was looking forward to the birth of the child and praying that everything would go smoothly and safely.

The moment the emperor stepped into Shuiyuxuan, his irritable mood gradually calmed down.

"The Emperor has arrived." A familiar eunuch's voice was heard outside the room.

The maids and eunuchs of Sui Yu Xuan all began to pay their respects. Zhen Huan wondered why the emperor came so late at night? Would he not even let pregnant women go?

Zhen Huan suppressed her disgust and bowed to the emperor with a gentle expression, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

The Emperor immediately helped Zhen Huan up and said distressedly, "Huan Huan, you are pregnant. I allow you to not bow to me when you see me from now on. You must take extra care of yourself. If anything happens to you, I will be heartbroken."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will remember it." Zhen Huan smiled, her voice gentle and graceful.

When the emperor looked at Zhen Huan's stunning face and sweet voice, all the unhappiness he had felt from the queen disappeared.

The emperor gently took Zhen Huan's hand, and they both sat on the couch together.

Zhen Huan's gaze fell on the emperor, and there was a hint of subtle displeasure in her eyes.

She wondered to herself, there were clearly many empty seats on the couch, why did the emperor want to squeeze in with her? Moreover, the emperor was so close to her that she felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Zhen Huan was well aware of her identity and status. She knew that the person in front of her was the supreme emperor, and she could not have the slightest intention of disobeying him. She could only choose to silently endure this discomfort and bury her dissatisfaction deep in her heart.

Although she felt somewhat unhappy inside, Zhen Huan still tried to maintain her dignified demeanor. She lowered her head slightly with a perfect smile on her face.

"Your Majesty cares about me, and I am very happy. Thank you for taking the time to visit me." Zhen Huan said in a delicate voice.

"Hanhuan, are you blaming me for being too busy and not being able to come to see you earlier?" The emperor joked as he gently stroked Zhen Huan's delicate and slender fingers.

Zhen Huan immediately said coquettishly, "How dare I think so? Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and he is busy with state affairs every day. He should put the people of the world first. I am just a concubine in the emperor's harem. It is a great blessing to be favored by the emperor. How dare I ask for more? Today, the emperor can take the time to come and visit me. I am so happy that I can't wait."

The emperor smiled and pinched Zhen Huan's cheek, "What a considerate person, the one who understands my heart is Huan Huan."

Then, he asked about Zhen Huan's health with concern and told her to rest well.

Zhen Huan nodded meekly, indicating that she would obey the emperor's order. The two chatted for a while, and the emperor inadvertently mentioned that the queen had dissuaded him from turning over the cards during the day.

Zhen Huan's heart tightened, she was keenly aware that the emperor was testing her. But she remained calm on the surface and said softly: "The queen is also concerned about the emperor's health, with a sincere heart, the emperor should not blame me."

The emperor was silent for a moment, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Finally, he sighed and said, "What the Queen said makes sense. I will pay more attention to it."

Zhen Huan heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that the emperor had no intention of leaving. It seemed that the emperor really wanted to spend the night here. No, she had to persuade the emperor to stay overnight in another palace.

"Your Majesty, what the Empress said is absolutely right. Your Majesty should balance the favors of the harem. This will not only give Your Majesty more offspring, but also reduce the jealousy among the concubines. Only when the harem is peaceful and without trouble, Your Majesty can handle the affairs of the former court with peace of mind, without having to worry about the affairs of the harem."

The emperor listened to Zhen Huan's words, and there was a flash of surprise and admiration in his eyes. He didn't expect Zhen Huan to be so sensible, not only did she not get jealous, but she took the initiative to fight for opportunities for other concubines. The emperor couldn't help but kissed Zhen Huan on the forehead.

At this moment, the emperor's love for Zhen Huan grew deeper. He felt that she was so sensible and considerate that he couldn't help but fall in love with her.

The emperor sighed and said, "It is a great blessing in life to have Huanhuan by my side. Huanhuan, I will never let you down in my life." The emperor's tone was firm.

"I thank Your Majesty for your praise and for your kindness to me. I am ashamed that I am pregnant and my body is still weak. I cannot serve Your Majesty. Please forgive me." Zhen Huan said with pretended guilt.

"Hanhuan, I am so happy that you are pregnant with my prince. " The emperor said with concern.

"Then has the emperor decided which palace he would like to stay the night in today?" Zhen Huan asked cautiously and tentatively.

The emperor frowned slightly, seeming a little hesitant. After a moment of silence, he said:

"I originally planned to stay with you overnight, but I was worried that I would lose control of myself and hurt you. After all, my feelings for you are too deep, and sometimes I can't help but lose my mind."

Zhen Huan's heart tightened. She knew, of course, that the emperor coveted her beauty and there was a great possibility that he wanted to use her as a substitute for Chun Yuan.

Zhen Huan pretended to be shy and smiled.

The emperor's eyes were full of love. He looked at Zhen Huan and said, "My Huan Huan is so considerate and sensible. According to Huan Huan's opinion, which palace should I go to?"
