"Princess Mei, I know you hate Concubine Shen for using your dead child to make you a weapon for her to deal with Concubine Xian and climb up the social ladder."

Then Zi Mu looked at Bai Ruiji with sharp eyes and continued: "But this matter should end here. Your real enemy has been sentenced to death and Yu Shi is gone. Jin Guiren has also been imprisoned in Qixiang Palace forever. You should look forward."

"Empress Lingfei was kind to Ruiji, but I can't forget it. At that time, my child was still breathing faintly...but they all told me that my child was dead."

"Princess Mei, have you ever thought that now that you have recovered, you should serve the emperor well. Then maybe your poor child will come back to you."

After hearing Zimu's words, a glimmer of hope flashed in Bai Ruiji's eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.

She looked down at the edge of her clothes and said softly, "But my body is broken... How can I be favored again?"

Zi Mu walked to Bai Ruiji, held her hand and checked her pulse. After a moment, he gently comforted her: "It seems that you have been taking the prescription I gave you seriously. Take good care of yourself and your body is getting better slowly."

"Also, the Emperor has been paying close attention to you recently. When you are free, come to Yongshou Palace more often to play the pipa. If you can seize the opportunity, you will surely get what you want."

Bai Ruiji raised her head, looked at Zimu with tearful eyes, and asked with a choked voice: "Empress Ling Fei, are you telling the truth? Is my child really willing to return to me, a mother who is useless and unable to protect him?"

Zimu nodded gently and answered firmly: "Of course it is true. You have to believe that there is a special bond between a child and his mother. As long as you treat them sincerely, it will definitely move God."

Bai Ruiji's tears slid down her cheeks. She wiped them away with a handkerchief and showed a grateful smile.

"Thank you, Empress Ling Fei, you are such a good person."

"I... don't know what use I am to Madam Ling Fei, but please rest assured that if I get what I want this time, I will treat Madam Ling Fei as my master."

Zi Mu smiled and shook his head: "No need to do that, life is hard for women in this world. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

Bai Ruiji nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of expectation and desire for the future.

Bai Ruiji bit her lips tightly, with a determined look in her eyes.

She secretly made up her mind that if she could get what she wanted this time, she would definitely protect her children well and never trust others easily again.

Even if it is just for her own children, she must strive for more glory for herself.

From this moment on, Bai Ruiji began to dress herself up carefully again.

She carefully selected gorgeous clothes, combed her hair meticulously, and put on makeup meticulously, not missing any detail.

Zimu became her personal makeup guru, and he would always adopt the suggestions she gave him.

Zi Mu takes great care of Bai Ruiji. He not only helps her dress up but also pays close attention to her physical condition to ensure that she is in the best shape.

With Zimu's help, Bai Ruiji quickly regained her former beauty, even better than before.

As expected, Hongli was pleasantly surprised by Bai Ruiji's changes.

He was attracted to her again and visited her frequently.

Bai Ruiji successfully won Hongli's favor with her charm and Zimu's help.

Bai Ruiji and Zimu had a close relationship, and Hongli was willing to give Zimu face. In addition, Zimu was pregnant and could not sleep with him, so Hongli would often turn over the cards that were on good terms with her so that she could enjoy more favor.

For a time, the harem was full of flowers, and even Yihuan was becoming more and more favored. She was recently promoted to the position of concubine and lived in the main hall of the palace.

At the beginning, Hai Lan was worried that Zi Mu would feel uncomfortable seeing the emperor favoring someone else, so she went to Yongshou Palace more frequently than usual.

Zimu saw that Hailan was not very serious while embroidering next to her, and he glanced at her from time to time.

"Hai Lan, do you have anything to say to me?"

Zi Mu felt uncomfortable seeing Hai Lan's hesitant look and couldn't help asking.

"Sister Ling Fei... don't be too sad."

Hailan sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and regret in her tone.

In her heart, the emperor should love Concubine Ling very much, but as soon as her period got older, she turned around and favored other women.

Shupin and Meipin were the two who were on good terms with Sister Lingfei. As Hailan thought about it, she disliked the emperor more and more.

"Ah? Why am I sad?"

Zimu wrinkled his nose and looked at Hailan in confusion.

She didn't understand why Hailan suddenly said such a thing.

Am I not paying enough attention to what's going on in the harem?

Or did something happen that should make her sad?

But Zimu himself didn't feel sad...

"The Emperor... Concubine Shu and Concubine Mei..."

Okay, the case is solved. Hailan is worried that she will feel uncomfortable.

Zi Mu looked at Hai Lan and found it a little funny. He said, "Hai Lan, you don't think I would be sad because the emperor favors her, do you?"

Hailan was slightly startled, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Ah? No way?"

The previous Empress Xian would feel uncomfortable, and it was very obvious that she was uncomfortable. Every time, she would need to comfort herself for a long time. But Sister Lingfei seemed to be different.

"Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, not just one person. In this harem, except for the Empress, we are all concubines."

Zimu sensed a few more breathing sounds outside the hall and knew that Hongli had arrived.

So he changed the subject and continued, "Loving what he loves and liking what he likes is the only thing I can do for him."

"So don't worry, Hailan. I won't be sad, because I know that the emperor has me in his heart, and that's enough."

"Sister Lingfei is more open-minded. I am over-worrying. In the past, Concubine Xian always said that a couple should be together for life..."

"If I were born in an ordinary family, I might be able to hope to be with my partner for the rest of my life, but in the imperial family... he has me in his heart, and I have him in my heart, and this is the best."

"It is impossible for a couple to be together for a lifetime. I hope that he will be recorded in history books as a wise ruler, not a foolish ruler who lost his mind due to lust."

“I’ve never thought about this.”

"Besides, Ulanara is just a concubine, and she wants to be with the emperor forever. This is too unrealistic and petty."
