Chapter 472 The Emperor Goes Crazy Again
Chapter 472 The Emperor Goes Crazy Again
It was night again, Jinzhong was resting, and he walked into Yongshou Palace as if he knew the place well. He told Yanwan what Concubine Jia had said as a joke.
Yan Wan: “…”
She glanced at Jinzhong and said, "It seems that you are in a good mood. You have come to entertain me."
Jinzhong begged for mercy: "I know you don't like her, I will never say that next time."
Yan Wan laughed instead: "It hasn't been easy for Concubine Jia over the years."
The older the emperor gets, the more suspicious he becomes. On the one hand, he likes peace and harmony in the harem, but on the other hand, he doesn't want the concubines to work together and easily deceive him.
Over the years, he seemed to have done nothing on the surface, but he did a lot of provocative words and things.
Yan Wan didn't even hesitate to say anything about him.
If she hadn't followed his wishes and humiliated Concubine Jia several times, he would have continued to disgust her.
If it was just a matter of the harem, it would be fine, but he had to use the children as an excuse, which really offended her.
It was obvious that neither he nor the ministers would agree to make Concubine Jia's children the crown prince, but he insisted on saying some ambiguous words to provoke her and test her to see if she would interfere in the matter of appointing the crown prince.
Yan Wan's eyes were full of coldness: "Is the emperor in good health recently?"
Jinzhong's eyes flashed darkly, and he said softly, "The emperor is still keen on the harem, but the illness that year damaged his kidney water, and sometimes he is unable to do anything. Fortunately, the Governor of Fuguang presented the golden elixir pills, and the emperor asked the Imperial Hospital to study and improve it, and it works very well."
Yan Wan was not surprised at all: "You are the chief steward, you must take good care of the emperor. Don't be too anxious about taking medicine, otherwise it will be bad if he gets hurt."
Jinzhong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am afraid that if the emperor makes a mistake, I will be skinned alive by the empress dowager."
Seeing that he knew what was going on, Yan Wan didn't say anything more.
Now the emperor's majesty is becoming more and more majestic, and Jinzhong can only come once every few months. It is a rare occasion for him to come, and Yanwan doesn't want to spoil his mood by talking about so many serious matters.
She tilted her head to look at him.
Jin Zhong's heart stagnated, and he unconsciously smiled with the corners of his mouth raised, and climbed onto the bed quietly.
There was a sudden knock on the door. Jinzhong staggered and Yanwan subconsciously reached out to take it, and the two of them fell into a ball in an instant.
But no one cared about these things at the moment. Yan Wan covered her chest and pushed his face away, saying calmly: "Jump out of the window first."
Jinzhong got up and ran without hesitation.
Yan Wan glanced at his back and couldn't help but smile, her heart beating a little faster.
Her dark eyes looked towards the door: "What's going on?"
After a while, the voice of Chunchan sounded at the door: "The twelfth prince fell into the water naked and was rescued by a female official in the cold palace. The emperor wants you to come over!"
Yan Wan frowned slightly, put on her clothes and went downstairs to open the door: "Didn't anyone pass on the message?"
Chun Chan shook his head: "It was probably a temporary decision. There was no preparation, and it caught people off guard."
Yanwan didn't think that Ruyi's intelligence could tell who the spy was, so she nodded, asked Chunchan and Lancui to help her put on her clothes, and hurried to Qixiang Palace with everyone.
But when he was halfway there, he ran into Jinbao: "May the Imperial Noble Consort be blessed with good health. The Emperor asks you to go to the Yikun Palace as soon as possible. There is a big commotion there."
Yan Wan felt very excited just by hearing this sentence: "Why is Yikun Palace involved again?"
Jinbao lowered his head, too embarrassed to raise his voice too high: "The Emperor pities Concubine Xianxian and wants to let the twelfth prince recuperate with Concubine Xianxian and come back after he recovers."
Yan Wan: “…”
She almost thought there was something wrong with her ears and couldn't believe that this was the decision made by the current emperor.
He knew that Concubine Jia and Ruyi were not on good terms, but he still detained the 12th Prince and left him to Ruyi when the 12th Prince fell into the water and became ill...
Does he want to kill Concubine Jia?
Or is he not happy that Concubine Jia hasn't dealt with Ruyi recently?
And Ruyi, instead of trying to find a way to sleep with the emperor, she actually opened her mouth to snatch the son from Concubine Jia? Is she okay?
She showed an indescribable expression, but quickly restrained it, and told the eunuch carrying the sedan chair to change direction without any sadness or joy: "Go to Yikun Palace."
Sure enough, whenever the emperor met Ruyi, no matter how clear-minded he was, he would be in a turmoil for a while.
And Concubine Xian, he is just pretending not to promote Ruyi.
She entered the Yikun Palace with a gloomy face, and only when she saw Hongli did her expression ease up: "Is the emperor okay? I heard that the twelfth prince went to the cold palace to play in the middle of the night, and I was scared to death! But is there an assassin sneaking in?"
The anger on Hongli's face froze for a moment, and he looked at her helplessly: "It's a cool night, why are you wearing such thin clothes?"
Yan Wan held his big hand, looked up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She said embarrassedly, "I was too anxious and kept urging you to come and see me. I didn't have time."
Hongli felt emotional. After all these years, Yanwan was still as gentle and considerate as before, but more dignified and graceful than before. Even her anxiety was pleasing to the eye.
He patted the back of her hand: "You only grow in years, but not in wisdom."
He asked Jinzhong to fetch his cloak and put it on Yanwan himself before saying to her, "Little Twelve had a quarrel with Concubine Jia and got lost. It was dark and the road was slippery, so he accidentally fell into the water."
After a pause, he said, "I will ask someone to check it out again."
After saying that, he glanced at Jinzhong.
Yanwan also glanced at Jinzhong.
This man had just been running in a hurry and without any manners, but now he was standing here like a decent human being, which made her want to laugh.
She suppressed her smile and looked at the two people, one big and one small, lying on the bed.
Ruyi was actually wearing a Manchu dress for an unmarried girl, with a big side braid and an odd-looking scarf around her neck.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that she was holding the Twelfth Prince's hand tightly in her hand, and the Twelfth Prince, although he had woken up, could not walk, and his expression was very uncomfortable.
Seeing her looking at him, the twelfth prince immediately begged, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, please ask my father for help. My mother is not in good health and can't stand kneeling all the time!
"I know I was wrong. I will never run around again! It was because of me that I got angry with you and caused trouble for you... and this lady. I am willing to be punished!"
Yanwan watched with sharp eyes as a muscle on Ruyi's face twitched.
It seems that the Twelfth Prince's behavior of defending Concubine Jia has greatly irritated her.
What Ruyi doesn't like, Yanwan always likes.
Yan Wan advised: "Even if the emperor is going to be angry, he should tell the child nicely, please ask Concubine Jia to get up. Otherwise, if something really happens, how will the twelfth prince cope with it in the future?"
She raised her voice: "After all, Concubine Jia is the biological mother of the twelfth prince!"
