Chapter 514: The Newly Conferred King Changzai
Concubine Rong looked at Yan Wan, her brows slightly furrowed, "The emperor was obviously instigated by Concubine Yao today and became suspicious of Yongyan."
When she said this, her heart was filled with coldness.
Even though she had known for a long time that the emperor was not a good person, every time he made her understand him in a new way and see how bad he really was.
Yongyan is only six and a half years old this year!
The emperor was actually unhappy just because he might be liked by his subjects!
She looked at Yan Wan: "I can't just watch Yong Yan..."
Yan Wan said gently but firmly: "The emperor just doesn't like his subjects to be ignorant of propriety. You also said that Yongyan is still young."
As long as Yongyan didn't make any mistakes, he could naturally live for a few more years.
When Yongyan was a little older, the emperor was still his biological father after all, so he would naturally admire and then be suspicious of the princes' achievements.
It's okay if there is less suspicion at the beginning.
When suspicions become too much, Concubine Yao will naturally take him away, and there will be no harm in that.
She looked at everyone and said softly, "As long as you protect yourselves, you can take care of the children normally. If you need to fight for your lives, come and ask me first. ... I don't want any of you to die in this game of chess."
Concubine Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at her; "You are a person who always speaks in such a sentimental way! Why do you always speak in such a sentimental way?"
Then he said to Concubine Rong: "Just remember what she said. When it comes to controlling people's hearts, she is miles ahead of you. You are only blessed by God, otherwise how could you be a concubine in front of me?"
Concubine Rong was not a reckless person. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "I will protect myself."
After a pause, disgust appeared in his eyes: "I really don't want to experience those dirty diseases again."
After sleeping with the emperor once, I felt uncomfortable for more than a month.
If it weren't for Zhang Yun's amazing medical skills, she would probably have suffered even longer.
Those life-threatening but minute pains and itchiness really made her abandon her plans and just kill him.
How can you be so uncontrollable? Why do you have to play with that sick guy?
Everyone looked at her with pity, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Yan Wan said, "You should keep using the defensive measures I told you before. If you feel a little uncomfortable, go to see Zhang Yuanzheng immediately. Don't avoid seeing a doctor because you are shy. For us women, a healthy body is the most important thing."
Concubine Mei nodded: "Yes, as for the other things, we can just work on them slowly."
Everyone nodded, and carefully checked the account books and palace affairs before saying goodbye and leaving.
Half a month later, the emperor left the Forbidden City and headed south.
Out of caution, Jinzhong did not report the news back, but Yanwan learned about the emperor's situation through her own channels.
Not surprisingly, the emperor hired a prostitute again.
Since receiving the news, Yanwan has not slept well.
Although the necessary arrangements had been made long ago, when Jinzhong was supposed to die, Yanwan was still haunted by nightmares and her body quickly deteriorated.
Fortunately, Li Zhe is still in the palace. Over the years, Li Zhe's medical skills have greatly improved. Although he is still not as knowledgeable as Zhang Yun, he is already able to handle Yan Wan's mental illness with ease.
"My Lord, if you don't take care of yourself, I'm afraid that when the Emperor returns and sees how thin you are, he will be furious and punish me."
Yan Wan rubbed her brows and said, "It's just that I can't sleep well and I always have nightmares. That's why I'm not in a good mood. Just prescribe some medicine and I'll take it."
Li Zhe was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing that he was taking medicine after medicine but still getting thinner, he could only write a letter to his master, Zhang Yun, the big mouth.
Soon, the emperor sent someone back to remind Yan Wan to take the medicine well.
Those who come back are the ones who gain treasure.
Jinbao entered the Yongshou Palace and bowed respectfully. He raised his eyes slightly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Everything is fine with the emperor. Although there are some twists and turns, they have been handled. You know how the chief steward works. He is always flawless and no one can find any fault with him."
Yanwan only saw that the person who came back was Jinbao, so she felt relieved.
She asked carefully: "Since you are back, I will not rush you to go back. Please stay for two days and tell me about the emperor's situation so that I can rest assured."
Jinbao responded, "Yes."
He quickly glanced at the door and saw Chunchan guarding inside and Yunjiao guarding in the yard outside the door. Feeling relaxed, he told her everything that happened before and after hiring the prostitute in detail.
At first, the Emperor was busy with his inspection tours, and he and other noble ladies, including Concubine Yao, promised the young lady to have fun, so it was nothing. But after a while, he began to feel bored.
It just so happened that the wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou instigated the prefect to send a skinny horse, and some young eunuchs and guards were bribed. They only mentioned it a few words to the emperor, and the matter fell into place - the emperor asked Jinzhong to arrange it.
Originally this matter was still a secret, but it was seen by Concubine Yao, who for some reason quarreled with the prettiest Shui Linglong and started screaming, and the news leaked out.
The emperor did not punish Jinzhong severely, but only gave him a beating with a stick, demoted Concubine Yao to Concubine Yao, and then killed several guards and eunuchs, saying that they had set up a conspiracy to mislead the emperor, and only did it so that the emperor knew about it, but was exposed by Concubine Yao before he went.
In this way, we can barely stop the gossips.
Jinbao lowered his eyebrows and eyes: "On the day when I was ordered to return to the capital, the chief steward was ordered to buy young women as servants. The emperor took a fancy to a girl named Wang, and made her Wang Changzai. Now she is the most favored, but she doesn't get along with Yao Changzai, and they often quarrel."
Yan Wan was a little worried about Jin Zhong, but when she thought about how he could still serve the emperor, and that the emperor had only given him a beating for others to see, she felt a little relieved: "Could this Wang Changzai be Shui Linglong?"
Jinbao said respectfully, "That's right. The Emperor didn't mean to hide this from the Imperial Noble Consort. He just meant that no one else should know about it."
Yan Wan wanted to laugh when she heard this.
In his previous life, the emperor made these beautiful women become nuns for the sake of his reputation.
He was even more willful in this life, and directly brought women from bad families into the palace to be concubines.
If this were to get out, I'm afraid all families would be in an uproar. Even the noble families who sent their daughters to the palace would rush to the palace gate at night to learn how to bang their heads against the pillars like the censor did.
Yan Wan said in a deep voice: "Since it is the emperor's will, I will naturally satisfy the emperor."
She frowned, "But Concubine Yao knows about Concubine Wang, and she can't control her mouth. What is the emperor going to do?"
Jinbao smiled and said, "No need to worry, Imperial Concubine. Concubine Yao has received the Emperor's grace and now knows what it means to be careful with her words and actions. She may be jealous, but she doesn't even dare to show her face when it comes to disobeying the Emperor's orders."
Yan Wan raised her eyebrows - it seemed that the emperor had ordered someone to punish Ruyi again.
If you think about it carefully, Ruyi is really a resilient person. She has been dealt with several times. Even Rong Pei, Baturu of the Qing Dynasty, has surrendered. But she still continues to seek death.
She asked for some more details, then took the medicine with peace of mind. When she felt better, she asked Jinbao to go back and serve the emperor.
Another half year passed and the emperor returned.
