Chapter 243: No Need for Allies Full of Intentions
"Sister, sister."
Hearing the words "Yikun Palace", Hailan was more excited than anyone else. It was only after Hailan reminded the empress dowager that she realized it was Ruyi who ran away.
"What is she doing out here?"
The Queen Mother had a keen sense that something was wrong.
First, Hailan poisoned the emperor, and then Ruyi ran away from Yikun Palace. I wonder if these two people have discussed something.
"No, Queen Mother, my sister did not discuss anything with me.
Hongmei, please tell me what happened to your sister.
Hai Lan thought of the Queen Mother's suspicion and hurriedly explained. Hai Lan hoped that it was not what she guessed in her heart.
"The one in Yikun Palace went crazy. She ran to the princess's bedroom and stabbed the princess in the throat with the rose hairpin given by the emperor.
Princess, the princess is being treated by the imperial physician.
Your Majesty, the princess is probably dead, at least let Your Majesty see the princess for the last time."
Hongmei didn't know what had happened in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. She looked around for the emperor, but she couldn't see him.
"What a sin. What a sin.
There was no one guarding the Yikun Palace, so how did she escape?
How did Ruyi go to Jingse's bedroom and stab Jingse?"
The Queen Mother frowned.
I really didn't expect that the emperor and Jingse would both suffer unexpected disasters in one day.
"The princess has to take a nap every afternoon. The little princess takes a light nap and usually doesn't keep anyone around. Who would have thought that the person from Yikun Palace would come over."
Hongmei regretted it very much and hated herself for not staying with Jingse all the time.
The empress dowager also understood that Jingse was now the princess the emperor cared about the most. Everyone in the palace respected her very much. Even Wei Yanwan, the imperial concubine, did not dare to openly contradict Jingse.
Such a comfortable environment made Jingse lose the consciousness of self-protection, which gave Ruyi the opportunity to assassinate her.
"Ulanara took advantage of the lunch delivery period to sneak out of Yikun Palace."
“Concubine Yu, is it you? The number of guards on duty in Yikun Palace was originally a group, but it was reduced to only two people because of your repeated requests.
It was because you reduced the number of people that the guards were unable to catch Ulanara.
Ulanara happened to rush to the princess's bedroom during the lunch break, and you were the only one who could tell Ulanara about the princess's habits.
You go to the gate of Yikun Palace every few days and talk to that lunatic Ulanara for a long time."
Hailan was stunned.
She did ask the emperor to reduce the number of people guarding Ruyi. Her original intention was to make it easier for her to talk to Ruyi. After Ling Yunche's death, Ruyi's mother also died of illness.
Ruyi became very abnormal and was confused all day. Hailan was afraid that Ruyi would commit suicide, so she made this request.
The emperor agreed as soon as it was mentioned that day.
She did tell Ruyi a lot of things about the palace, including that Princess Jingse had a bad temper and that when she was taking a nap, if a mosquito flew into the bedroom, all the palace servants would be dragged down and beaten to death.
"No, Wei Yanwan, it's you.
It was you who allowed the Emperor to dismiss the guards who were stationed by my sister. It was also you who allowed me to visit my sister every day.
It must be you. You must have secretly plotted against my sister. Did you know that I was going to take action today, so you deliberately let my sister go?"
Hailan is sober and powerful.
"What? Concubine Yu, you and Ulanara made a mistake out of stupidity, how can you put the blame on me?
The treatment that the Ulanara family enjoys today was all earned by you bit by bit.
You ask the Emperor for help with the Fifth Princess, and then ask the Emperor for help with the Twelfth Prince."
Yanwan looked at the Queen Mother aggrievedly.
"what."
As Yan Wan was speaking, the baby in her belly suddenly kicked her. Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly showed concern for Yan Wan.
"The Imperial Concubine is five months pregnant. She is in a heavy condition. I am watching over the Emperor. You can go and see what is going on with Jingse. I will take care of the affairs of the court and everything will be fine."
"As for Concubine Yu, I will deal with her."
Yan Wan bowed to the Queen Mother.
Jinzhong hurriedly helped Yanwan out.
Yanwan walked further and further away, but Hailan's sobbing could still be heard behind her ears.
It seemed that Fuga had found a few people to cover Hailan's mouth and drag her away, and they were heading towards the Ministry of Punishment.
The baby in Yan Wan's belly moved violently. Yan Wan gently comforted the baby.
"Look at how anxious the children are. They know that the emperor is going to give up his throne to them."
When the emperor was injured, the first thing that came to Yan Wan's mind was of course that the emperor would die early so that her son could succeed to the throne.
Jinzhong also reached out and touched Yanwan's lower abdomen.
"Looking at the Queen Mother's attitude, she probably won't ask the princes to succeed her right away. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent the Imperial Concubine away."
Yanwan smiled.
“It was truly unexpected that Concubine Yu poisoned the Emperor today.
I originally just wanted to see Ruyi kill Jingse and completely ruin Ruyi, but I didn’t expect that something bad would happen to the emperor too.”
Yanwan walked slowly towards Jingse's bedroom. Right now, the empress dowager was busy rescuing the emperor and settling the court officials, so naturally she had no time to care about Jingse.
It is true that Jingse has been too arrogant in recent years. After taking down Ruyi, Jingse's ambition was exposed, and she no longer lived in the original princess mansion.
She was in the palace almost every day, and had to get involved in all the big and small affairs in the palace. She had to get involved in the early morning greetings of Yan Wan and the concubines.
"I've said it before, she's like a poisonous scorpion. She never really does it for my own good. Even if she does it for me, it's just her hobby."
Yan Wan saw clearly that although Jing Se seemed to be on good terms with his subordinates, he was actually plotting something.
"The princess is good to the Royal Concubine, but it is true what the Royal Concubine said, she wants to control everything."
Lan Cui followed behind Yan Wan and said the same thing.
Yanwan paused.
"I still remember that year when she captured Zhao Jiuxiao and Rong Pei. If I hadn't handled it properly, Zhao Jiuxiao might not have survived.
Use the lives of me and my predecessors to prove your kindness to me.
This is not a gesture of goodwill, this is a warning, a threat."
"Only people like you and Jinzhong, who would rather sacrifice their lives for my good, are truly good to me.
Giving a slap in the face and then giving a sweet date is not good for me."
After her rebirth, Yan Wan doesn't need an ally who has schemes against her.
"My Lord, you are so kind to us."
Lan Cui was so excited that she was about to cry. She really didn't expect that after so many years, Yan Wan still remembered that Zhao Jiuxiao was framed and was willing to avenge them.
Yanwan took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from Lancui's face.
"Don't cry, our good days are still ahead. No one has discovered the mushroom soup, right?"
When it came to serious matters, Lan Cui stopped crying.
"No, Concubine Yu asked for the mushroom soup from Ulanara. Concubine Yu was afraid that people would neglect Ulanara.
As long as there is fresh food in all seasons, Yikun Palace has it.
After Ulanara beat Ling Yunche to death, we were fed mushroom soup. The guards also often heard Ulanara mention Ling Yunche.
The emperor said that Ulanara was too concerned about Ling Yunche and went crazy.
So no one would suspect her if she ran away. We all went in. The guards outside were adjusted repeatedly according to Concubine Yu's request."
Yanwan nodded.
"Of course the Queen Mother will make the decision on that matter. Let's go see if Princess Jingse is still alive."
Yanwan walked a long way and didn't notice that Hailan was sent back to the Yangxin Palace.
