Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

Chapter 211 Yun'er

"It's the Empress who should let him go, right? Look at the people around you, who hasn't fallen on hard times because of you? If the Empress really cares about them, she should stay in the Yikun Palace and not cause the Emperor any more trouble..."

Yan Wan's words shot towards Ruyi like sharp arrows, carrying sharp accusations and ridicule. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of pride and arrogance.

Ruyi frowned upon hearing this, a trace of anger and helplessness flashing in her eyes. She pursed her lips, her face slightly pale, and stared straight at Yanwan.

"Now I am the master and he is the slave. What does a dog servant have to do with me? Queen, please be careful with your words. If you have angered me, in order to protect my reputation, even if it means sacrificing a cold palace guard, it is nothing."

Yanwan's expression remained unchanged. After Youyou finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and her sitting posture became even more arrogant.

Ruyi's eyes became increasingly cold, her hands were clenched into fists, trembling slightly, and her two sickle-like eyebrows looked even more terrifying.

She looked at Yan Wan's smug look, and the anger in her heart burned even more fiercely.

Yanwan admired Ruyi's gradually ugly expression and felt very happy.

The purpose of her coming here today was not just to engage in verbal exchanges with her.

Yan Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she was thinking about her next plan in her mind.

The threat in her words was clear, and a crack appeared on Ruyi's originally calm expression.

There was a trace of panic in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

She had never imagined that the little palace maid whom she first met at the gate of Changchun Palace would become such a cruel and ruthless person many years later.

A deep sadness welled up in Ruyi's heart. She didn't understand how many people had been changed by this power struggle in the deep palace.

She couldn't help but think of her past persistence and beliefs, which now seemed so fragile in the face of this cruel reality.

To achieve her goal, she actually attacked her childhood sweetheart?

Just at this moment, a trace of fear arose in Ruyi's heart.

When did she become like this?

How could he have ignored her and let her become like this?

If she had known this, she should not have ignored her just because she was a little palace maid.

Seeing that the person she once looked down upon had become the imperial concubine who could sit here and threaten her, even though Ruyi was as calm as a chrysanthemum, she couldn't help but regret it.

Ruyi's eyes were wide open with anger, her chest heaving violently. After a long while, she finally squeezed out these words from between her teeth.

"You are so ungrateful, completely unaware of the kindness and favors we showed you in the past. Have you ever considered that your actions today will surely bring you endless regrets in the future? One day, the evil deeds you have sown will be repaid by you, and by then, it will be too late to regret."

Yan Wan had heard such words many times, but she didn't care at all.

What's there to worry about with just Ling Yunche?

Karma?

In her previous life, she fought diligently and finally won the throne for her Yongyan and the posthumous titles of empress and empress dowager for herself.

She was the first Han Chinese empress of the Qing Dynasty. Was this a bad consequence?

Ah! ridiculous.

She took over the words almost without thinking: "I have been able to climb to this position from a small palace maid by never regretting anything. Your Majesty, this is all I have to say. Please think about it yourself."

Yan Wan slowly stood up, without even a gesture of greeting, and left Yikun Palace. Yan Wan raised her chin slightly, a hint of pride and determination in her eyes. She slowly spoke.

"I have climbed from a humble maiden to my current position through countless hardships, all thanks to my unwavering commitment to never regretting anything. I have done nothing evil, so how can I possibly harbor even the slightest regret? Your Majesty, this is all I have to say. Please consider this for yourself."

She just left the Yiku Palace like that, leaving behind a resolute back, as if declaring her ambition and fearlessness to Ruyi.

The wind and snow outside were surging like raging waves, falling down in large flakes, and the sky and the earth were vast.

As soon as they stepped outside, a biting cold wind suddenly hit them. Chunchan was quick to offer a hand warmer. The hand warmer emitted a gentle warmth, like a small, warm world amidst the icy snow. Lancui stood by, holding an umbrella steady, snowflakes falling on the umbrella's surface with a gentle rustling sound.

Several people carefully protected Yanwan, taking every step with extreme caution.

Yan Wan paused briefly, glancing back at the dilapidated courtyard of Yikun Palace. The once glorious palace now looked particularly desolate in the snowstorm. The dilapidated scene seemed to speak of both its former glory and its present desolation.

A hint of contempt flashed in Yanwan's eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

Ruyi was a very stubborn person. The more she persuaded her, the more she would do the opposite. So Yanwan simply fulfilled her wish.

Let’s see if she can still sit still now that she knows Ling Yunche is in danger.

Not to mention the affection they had in the past, now the two of them have gone through many dangers, and Ling Yunche is always there to help Ruyi when she gets into trouble. The two of them have depended on each other for many years, and their feelings now are probably even stronger than in their previous life.

Now Ling Yunche has fallen into the cold palace, and is constantly being ridiculed and mocked by those little guards. His life is extremely miserable.

Yan Wan will just wait and see. Can Ruyi still keep calm?

Spring arrived with remarkable briskness, as if the earth had awakened from its slumber overnight, brimming with life and vigor. Even more gratifying, however, was the successive victories on the front lines.

The Khorchin tribe played a crucial role in this war, fully aiding the Qing dynasty in its conquest of the Dzungar Khanate. The Khorchin warriors bravely fought on the battlefield, fearless of danger and hardship, and achieved numerous significant feats. Their heroic performance laid a solid foundation for the Qing dynasty's victory.

Therefore, in order to express his appreciation for the Khorchin tribe, the emperor decided to marry a daughter of his wife to the Khorchin tribe.

Thus, Eyinzhu, the daughter of Sangborjigit Gendun, the leader of the Khorchin tribe, was named Yupin.

E Yinzhu was of noble birth and beautiful appearance. As soon as she entered the palace, she was the most favored by the emperor among the newcomers.

After Hai Guiren was sent to the temporary palace for imprisonment, the once bustling Yanxi Palace suddenly became empty. With the arrival of the newly appointed Yupin E Yinzhu, she became the main seat in Yanxi Palace.

Although the Yanxi Palace was located in a remote corner of the palace and was not as eye-catching as those prosperous places, the emperor still attached great importance to the Eyin Pearl.

He specially ordered people to renovate the entire Yanx Palace. From then on, all traces of Hai Lan in the Forbidden City were completely erased.

Apart from Ruyi and Yongqi, no one else is related to the Forbidden City.

Marriage is a solemn matter.

To this end, the emperor even lifted Ruyi's house arrest. This move not only saved the emperor and empress's face, allowing everyone to see the emperor's respect and tolerance for the empress, but also conveyed to the outside world the emperor's control and balance over the harem.

At the same time, this was also to express the importance attached to Mongolia. The Khorchin tribe made great contributions in the war and its relationship with Mongolia was of vital importance.

After all, it would be too inappropriate for the queen not to show up when a new concubine enters the palace.

The past two years have passed by as quickly as a rushing river, and many remarkable things have happened in the palace.

In addition to a group of new concubines blooming like beautiful flowers in the Forbidden City, adding a touch of new color to this solemn palace, Concubine Qing also welcomed a major happy event in her life, giving birth to the fourteenth prince, Yonglu.

At the same time, with the clever help of Yan Wan, Concubine Wan returned to the emperor's sight.

Once upon a time, Concubine Wan was unknown and seemed to have been forgotten in a corner of the palace.

Yan Wan was well aware of Wanpin's gentleness and talent, and through careful arrangements, she brought Wanpin, who had been lonely in the palace for many years, back into the emperor's sight.

Now, the emperor and empress were at odds, and the deep affection and trust they once had seemed to be overshadowed. The emperor's heart was filled with contradictions and confusion. Amidst this complex interweaving of emotions, he missed Empress Xiaoxian more and more.

The gentleness, dignity and wisdom of Empress Xiaoxian became increasingly clear in the emperor's memory.

She seemed like a bright light, illuminating a corner of the emperor's heart.

As time goes by, there are only a few people left from the Qiandi Mansion.

Apart from Ruyi, there are only Concubine Wan and Concubine Chun left.

They were witnesses of the emperor's past years and carried many precious memories. Therefore, under Yan Wan's persuasion, Wanpin got the job of serving the emperor in writing.

Wanpin's gentle temperament and delicate mind were exactly what the emperor wanted.

All the emperor wanted was some company and to chat about old times in the palace, so there was no need for too many words. She just quietly stayed by his side, giving him warmth and comfort.

Ever since Yan Wan ascended to the position of Imperial Concubine, her state of mind had changed significantly. Previously, her heart and eyes were completely focused on having children, and in her quest to maintain her favor, she seemed to be trapped in an endless cycle.

She gave birth to children endlessly just to gain a foothold in the harem and win the emperor's favor.

The experiences in her previous life made her pay a heavy price. She lost her body at a young age. Her frail body seemed to be a constant reminder of her past madness and persistence.

Now, she has firmly grasped the power of the harem and has become the focus of everyone's attention. In this harem, her position is very important. The emperor can't do without her, and he no longer needs to rely on children to win the emperor's favor.

Therefore, she would always avoid favor intentionally or unintentionally.

She is not short of favor, so naturally she does not need a child to consolidate her favor.

Furthermore, Yan Wan wanted to keep her life and spend a few more years with that man after her great undertaking was accomplished.

Although Ruyi was released from house arrest and seemed to have regained a certain degree of freedom, the actual situation was far from that.

Everyone around her had been replaced. The emperor had issued a strict order, forbidding those who had previously served in the Yikun Palace to return to her side. Those once familiar faces and caring companions were now gone.

As a result, Ruyi was shackled in every way. Although the new person also served her wholeheartedly, every move was cautious, every word was carefully considered, and every effort was made to meet Ruyi's needs.

However, they are not the ones who have experienced ups and downs with Ruyi. They do not understand Ruyi's preferences and habits, nor can they truly understand Ruyi's inner feelings and thoughts.

Ruyi always felt an inexplicable sense of loss when she looked at these unfamiliar faces. No matter how hard they tried, they could never win her heart.

Although the house arrest was lifted, the affairs of the six palaces were still handled by the imperial concubine.

She, the queen, has long been in name only.

As soon as Concubine Yu entered the palace, she shone brightly like a shining star in the palace. As soon as she appeared, she easily captured the emperor's heart and quickly won his favor.

She was approaching thirty, a time when she had lost the youthful innocence and tenderness of a young girl, yet she was also untainted by the vicissitudes of life. She was at a very graceful age, exuding a uniquely mature charm in every gesture. The touch of charm in her eyes and eyebrows always caught everyone's attention.

The emperor always favored mature women, and Yupin's appearance seemed tailor-made for him. Her maturity and charm captivated the emperor. As a result, she immediately gained the emperor's favor and became the envy of everyone in the harem.

As a royal concubine now, Yan Wan is busy taking care of palace affairs. She is overwhelmed by all kinds of trivial matters every day and is extremely busy.

Although Yan Wan was wary of the favored Yupin E Yinzhu, she had no time to deal with it personally. She simply sent people to closely monitor E Yinzhu's every move and keep track of her movements.

E Yinzhu has a high opinion of herself and acts boldly and recklessly relying on the emperor's favor.

She was arrogant and domineering in the palace, never knowing how to restrain her edge. This character made her inadvertently reveal many mistakes. For Yan Wan, it was easy to catch her mistakes.

Yan Wan only needs to wait patiently for the opportunity. Once E Yinzhu makes a big mistake, she can take the opportunity to consolidate her position in the harem.

She calmly observed Eyinzhu's actions, like a patient hunter, waiting for the best opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to her prey.

Ever since Concubine Hai was sent to the cold palace, time has passed quietly and Yongqi has gradually grown to the age to get married.

The emperor had a lot on his mind. On the one hand, he wanted to divert his attention from the many disturbances in the harem. On the other hand, he also hoped that marriage would make Yongqi more mature and stable.

So, after careful consideration, the emperor assigned Ortai's granddaughter to Yongqi as his principal wife.

This granddaughter of Ortai was born into a prominent family, dignified and beautiful, well-educated and well-mannered. This granddaughter of Ortai grew up in a prominent family and was the recipient of countless honors and favors.

She came from a prominent family and was an excellent candidate for Yu Yongqi's wife.

However, Yongqi seemed unattached to his new wife. Perhaps he had other things on his mind, or perhaps he was a little confused by this sudden marriage.

As Yongqi's stepmother, Yan Wan saw this situation and felt that she should think of a way to help him.
