Chapter 334 Why does he want to drink this wine?
With just one sentence from Concubine Jia, Concubine Chun, who had been having a bad time in recent years, found a legitimate reason for her bad luck.
She even firmly believed that her good fortune was taken away by Ruyi.
Otherwise, how could she, a concubine who had given birth to several children, be suddenly disliked by the emperor, while Concubine Xian made mistakes everywhere but miraculously rose again and again?
Concubine Xian, she is a monster who can rob people of their luck!
Concubine Chun was worried and wanted to share her shocking discovery with everyone, but she found that everyone was concentrating on watching the show. Even Concubine Jia, who brought up this topic, was already immersed in the plot, as if what she had just said was just a casual remark.
Concubine Chun could only suppress all her thoughts. However, no matter how much she advised herself not to talk nonsense, she couldn't suppress the thoughts in her heart. She felt like sitting on pins and needles.
Yan Wan glanced at Concubine Chun and gave Concubine Mei a look.
Concubine Mei returned Yanwan's look, and both of them were very disapproving of Concubine Chun.
People like Concubine Chun seem to be a good person who is polite to everyone, but she is easily blinded by interests, and then turns around and despises, tramples on and abandons the person she once liked.
Both Yan Wan and Mei Fei disliked someone like her whose preferences could be influenced by others.
Yan Wan listened to the opera for a while, looked at Concubine Mei, and then they both stood up and left.
After a while, Concubine Chun also got up and left in a hurry.
Concubine Jia felt that she had done what she was supposed to do today, so she listened to and watched the opera peacefully, and got along well with the concubines below.
On this side, not long after Yan Wan and Concubine Mei walked out, they were caught up by Concubine Chun.
The two looked at each other and saw the disgust in each other's eyes.
But even though they disliked them, they still had to do what they were supposed to do. When Concubine Chun came in front of the two of them, both Yanwan and Concubine Mei appeared very friendly.
When Concubine Chun saw the expressions of the two, she felt a little relaxed. After exchanging a few pleasantries, and hearing Yan Wan express her feelings about the difficulties she had faced over the years, Concubine Chun could no longer hold back.
"Do you think that Concubine Xian is really a very evil person?"
Yan Wan said softly, "Sister Chun, did you take Concubine Jia's gossip to heart?"
Concubine Chun shook her head: "No, I am really panicking! To be honest, I have encountered a lot of troubles since I started living with Concubine Xian.
Just tell me, since ancient times, how could someone enter the cold palace and then come out? Also, I heard that the child that Concubine Xian was pregnant with..."
Yan Wan interrupted her: "Sister Chun must have been frightened and confused."
Only then did Concubine Chun remember that Concubine Xian's child died in a fight with the eldest prince. Because of this, the emperor once thought that she did not know how to raise a child, and treated her with indifference, and even her two children suffered from it.
She said gratefully, "I was so anxious that I lost my mind. Fortunately, you reminded me."
She looked around and dismissed her maids: "I am really a little scared. Do you think Concubine Xian really knows some kind of magic?
It's the kind of person who... absorbs other people's luck to get promoted and make money! Look at those who were close to her, Li Yu, the chief steward, is gone, Hai Lan died suddenly, but she herself, no matter how she tries to commit suicide, the emperor always holds her firmly in his hands and keeps favoring her. "
The more she spoke, the colder she felt: "How about... let's ask a master to take a look?"
Yan Wan was so confused by her that she laughed: "Sister Chun, please don't say such things again. If someone with ulterior motives spreads this to the emperor's ears, I'm afraid that sister will be in trouble again."
After hearing this, Concubine Chun was extremely frightened.
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was more afraid of the emperor being angry or more afraid of having her blessings sucked away by Ruyi.
She was full of hesitation. "Well, sister, what do you think we should do?"
Yan Wan cleanly cleared herself of any involvement and warned, "The palace rules are strict. No matter what you want to do, you should first think about the consequences of violating the palace rules.
"I will treat what my sister said today as a feverish dream and forget it the moment you turn your head. Think about it carefully and don't make the emperor angry or disgusted with me again."
She nodded to Concubine Chun, then took Concubine Mei and left.
Concubine Mei lowered her voice and asked, "Do you want me to do something?"
Yan Wan said softly, "Princess Xian has been acting weird lately. Sister Mei, please don't get involved with her. I won't get involved with her either. Just let her die on her own."
In his heart, he was thinking that he should call Zhang Yun again and ask her to give Concubine Chun some strong medicine as well, it would be best if Concubine Chun would have nightmares as soon as she fell asleep.
With this combination of fighting and defense, Concubine Chun, who is as timid as a mouse, will definitely go to the emperor to beg him to exorcise the evil spirit for Ruyi.
If Concubine Chun didn't dare...
Then let Zhang Yun continue to give her drugs.
Between being disliked by the emperor and having all her blessings sucked away by Ruyi, everyone knows what to choose.
Yan Wan was making roundabout plans in her mind, but she advised Concubine Mei to keep her hands clean and just take good care of the children, implying that she would handle other matters according to palace rules.
Concubine Mei had a hunch that Yan Wan was not telling the truth, but she had already let her child get killed once because of her carelessness. Now Yan Wan trusted her and gave all three children to her to raise. She had already positioned herself well.
Worrying about the safety of her children is the most important and only important thing for her, everything else can be put aside!
The two sisters cooperated well and played happily with the twins and Yongqi for a while, then said goodbye to each other.
Yan Wan slept until dark. When she opened her eyes, the sky outside was already pitch black, with warm yellow lights flickering outside.
Yanwan swallowed her dry throat and sat up to drink some water. Jinzhong came over behind the screen, carrying a bowl of stewed pears with rock sugar.
When Yan Wan saw him, she smiled before she even opened her mouth: "Why are you free to come here today?"
He hasn't been here for a long time. It's always safer to be at home than to be away from home.
He was cautious, so he would rather endure the pain of missing her and never come over.
Jinzhong knelt on the footrest with ease and fed her soup spoonful by spoonful: "The emperor has not been in good health recently. After asking Zhang Yun, he drank some deer blood wine.
I saw that you were sleeping soundly this morning, and I was afraid that you were tired, so I couldn't help but come to check on you."
Yan Wan was surprised: "Did the emperor really drink it?"
This life is different from the previous one. She had a good start and had made various contributions. She no longer needed to seek favor like in the previous life.
Unexpectedly, she didn't move, but the emperor himself had some ideas.
Jinzhong looked at her tenderly, not daring to speak too clearly, lest he offend her, and said vaguely:
"Princess Xian used spices too frequently, and the emperor... lost control of himself. Over time, his body inevitably became a little deficient."
Yan Wan: “…”
