Chapter 254 I understand your difficulties
Yan Wan looked into the emperor's affectionate eyes and her cheeks felt slightly hot.
He has such beautiful eyes.
It's just a pity that she has to pretend that she can only see the surface and can't show any of her known essence.
She understands the emperor's heart much better than Ruyi.
Yan Wan said seriously: "I believe everything the emperor says, and I will definitely do as the emperor says. If the emperor regrets it in the future and wants to punish me for Concubine Xian, I will accept it!"
As she spoke, she unconsciously grabbed his big hand, exerting a little force, and her fingertips even trembled a little.
Hongli felt pity in his heart: "Why would I lie to you? If I felt sorry for her, I would just ask you to stop. Punish you for her? I..."
He still remembered the evil spirit in Ruyi, so he didn't say it so firmly: "I have even found the Empress Dowager as your backer. In this palace, only you, a lucky little star, can enjoy such treatment."
Yan Wan was truly grateful to him this time: "I know that Your Majesty treats me well, and I also know that Your Majesty is nostalgic. Although he is always kind to Concubine Xian because of their relationship of more than ten years, he is always kind to her, but he is always fair to me, and even better! Your Majesty, I understand your difficulties, please go and see her."
Hongli was frustrated by her sensibility: "You! Although you are younger than her, you are many times more sensible than her!"
Yanwan smiled softly and did not respond.
Hongli frowned and went next door, leaving Jinzhong at the door.
Jinzhong pricked up his ears, and after a while, he heard Yanwan calling him.
Jinzhong walked quickly into the room: "My Lady Imperial Concubine."
Yan Wan pressed her chest and said, "Please ask Eunuch Jinzhong to go to Concubine Xian's place and wait. If Imperial Doctor Zhang has examined her and confirmed that she is fine, please ask him to come and see me."
Jinzhong raised his eyes and glanced at her.
Yan Wan frowned and smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, I just want to take some medicine to suppress it."
Jinzhong understood the meaning of the voice and felt relieved. He respectfully took his leave and went to the next room.
He didn't rush in, but waited for a while.
In the room, Ruyi was talking to Hongli in a veiled manner: "Your Majesty, I really didn't threaten Concubine Ling on purpose. I came to see you, but you were not there, so I wanted to go and see Concubine Ling. Who knew that she would start screaming as soon as I stepped over the threshold?"
She held her belly and said, "I am just a pregnant woman. I am not tall and strong. I can't scare anyone even if I try to scare them. How can I scare Concubine Ling into falling ill?"
Zhang Yun, who was standing by, saw Jinzhong the first time. He looked at Hongli quietly, then at Ruyi, and whispered, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is not pregnant. Her stomachache may be caused by excessive worry. How about I go and see Concubine Ling first?"
Before Hongli could even speak, Ruyi was already furious: "How dare you make decisions for the emperor in front of him?"
Zhang Yun frowned and said, "In reply to Concubine Xian, I am not making a decision for the Emperor. I am asking for mercy from the Emperor. I beg you to let me go. Are you really okay? The fetus is still as messy as when I saw it before.
I told you the doctor's instructions before. I can tell from your pulse that you have not followed any of them. Your pulse has not changed, and you don't believe what I said. Why don't you let me go to see Concubine Ling..."
His expression looked as if he was about to cry: "You have been tossing and turning for half an hour, please let me go!"
Ruyi's eyebrows were raised: "You!"
Hongli frowned, "Ruyi, you are old enough to be Yanwan's mother, can you please stop being so childish? Making Yanwan suffer for half an hour is what you want?"
He rubbed his brows with a headache: "Don't do these little tricks anymore. Since you don't trust Zhang Yun, do whatever you want with this child."
He directly asked Zhang Yun to show it to Yan Wan next door, and he stood up and prepared to leave.
Ruyi simply couldn't accept it: "Your Majesty! How can you be so partial?"
Hongli looked down at her raised eyebrows and her aggressive eyes that tried to act delicate, and became increasingly impatient: "Yan Wan knows that I favor you, and you have the nerve to say that I favor Yan Wan?"
He shook his head: "Jingjue is getting married soon, don't make trouble anymore, go back to your Yikun Palace and live a good life with A Ruo and Xiao Lingzi!"
Ruyi's eyes lit up instantly, she grabbed Hongli's hand, looked at him with a controlling look, and said helplessly: "The emperor is really jealous."
Zhang Yun had already slipped away quickly. Jinzhong glanced into the house and followed him to the next door.
They didn't dare to watch, nor did they want to watch, the emotional tug-of-war between the emperor and his favorite concubine.
Hongli didn't notice the two people's actions, or rather, he had no time to pay attention.
Ruyi suddenly reached out and hugged his waist, her voice softening: "Your Majesty, I still remember the friendship between you and me when we were childhood sweethearts. Hongli Qingying, do you still remember that handkerchief?"
This gentle sentence seemed like a spell that could captivate people, suppressing all the impatience in Hongli's heart.
After all, she is the girl who grew up with me.
A voice emerged from Hongli's heart. His big hand froze for a moment, and then he patted Ruyi's back: "Okay, stop making trouble. What on earth do you want to see me about?"
Ruyi raised her eyes and looked at Hongli: "Your Majesty, the princess is getting married soon, and the Queen has assigned all the palace affairs to Concubine Ling, but completely avoided Concubine Chun. This will undoubtedly make the sisters in the harem feel unfair."
Hongli originally thought that she came to talk about Ling Yunche and A Ruo's marriage, but he didn't expect that she was concerned about something else.
However, he didn't care much about the affairs of the harem before, but after the remnants of the Ulanara clan appeared, he never let down his guard. He knew exactly what everyone had done during these days.
His reason instantly overcame his childhood sweetheart: "The Queen has her own reasons for doing things. What's more, it was I who ordered Yan Wan to take over the palace affairs. She can distribute them however she wants. You are just a concubine, so don't interfere in this matter."
Ruyi choked and her face turned a little blue.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Hongli paused and said gently, "Just take good care of your pregnancy. When you were a concubine, you didn't like to deal with palace affairs. When there was something, you told the people below to do it. It's normal that you don't understand these things and can't understand the Queen and Yanwan's actions."
Ruyi stood up angrily and said, "Your Majesty! I want to go back. Are you still going to confine me?"
Hongli nodded and said, "You heard it too. Your pregnancy is not good, so you should stay in Yikun Palace to take care of your baby. Don't come out unless necessary. Jingjue's wedding is coming soon, and there will be people everywhere. It would be bad if they bumped into you and the child."
Ruyi's lips moved in anger. What do you mean by "Stop bumping into me!" Isn't this just a nicer way of saying "house arrest"? !
