Chapter 276: Impossible to Keep
When Yanwan and Lancui returned to Yongshou Palace, they met Jinshou on the way.
Jin Shou bowed to Yan Wan with his brows lowered and his eyes downcast: "Your Highness."
Yan Wan asked with a smile: "Eunuch Jinshou, are you going to serve the emperor?"
Jin Shou said respectfully: "I have finished my work and am now rushing to serve the Emperor!"
Yan Wan smiled and said, "Then I won't keep you any longer. Concubine Xian is not feeling well, and the Emperor must be worried. When you are doing your work, please be careful and don't make any mistakes or get beaten."
Jin Shou became even more respectful: "Yes, thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty."
Yan Wan spoke to him slowly for a few more words before asking him to leave.
On the way back, I walked as slowly as possible. When I returned to Yongshou Palace, I happened to run into Concubine Mei who came to visit.
Yan Wan was surprised: "Why is Sister Mei here at this time?"
Concubine Mei took two quick steps and grabbed her hand: "I don't know what happened, the two children have been crying all day, I thought they might be missing their mother, so I came to find you to go to my place."
Yan Wan suddenly became a little worried: "Then let's go and take a look."
However, the two of them did not leave in the end.
I had only walked a few meters away when I heard a commotion in Yongshou Palace, as if a thief had broken in.
Yan Wan was so frightened that her face turned pale: "Sister Mei!"
Concubine Mei's face turned pale as well. She said in a deep voice, "Let someone stay here and wait for news. You follow me there first! Where is the emperor? Isn't the emperor staying at your place today?"
She exclaimed, "Could it be that someone is trying to assassinate the king?!"
Yan Wan's face tensed: "We have to find the emperor first! What if your guess is right! The emperor will be in great danger!"
Concubine Mei's expression relaxed: "From what you said, the emperor is not in Yongshou Palace?"
Yan Wan held her and walked quickly towards the Yikun Palace: "Concubine Xian had a miscarriage and her period started, so the Emperor went to the Yikun Palace."
The two of them hurried to Yikun Palace. When they arrived at the door, it was no longer Hailan and Ling Yunche who were guarding the gate, but Sanbao.
When Sanbao saw that it was Yanwan and Concubine Mei, he immediately opened the door and let them in.
"The Emperor urgently sought out Imperial Physician Zhang Yun. Our Concubine Xian's condition has been temporarily stabilized, but Imperial Physician Zhang said that the child may not be saved. Right now, the Emperor is persuading Concubine Xian to take an abortion drug."
The group walked very quickly and arrived at the entrance of the main hall in the blink of an eye.
Outside the room, Yonghuang looked at Yanwan and Concubine Mei in astonishment, a dark light flashed across his eyes, and he quickly stepped forward and asked with glaring eyes: "Does Concubine Ling want to disobey the order?"
Yan Wan held Lan Cui's hand and kept moving forward: "Get out of the way! I want to see who dares to touch me today!"
Although she was not as tall as Yonghuang, she had an extremely strong aura, forcing Yonghuang to retreat repeatedly and directly into the main hall.
When Rong Pei, Hai Lan and Ling Yun Che in the room saw this, they immediately rushed over like tigers pouncing on their prey.
Hongli was sweating from trying to persuade Ruyi. When he heard the noise outside, he became even more annoyed and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you looking for death?"
Rong Pei shouted, "Your Majesty, it was the Imperial Concubine Ling who disobeyed the order and came to harm our master!"
Concubine Mei slapped Rong Pei on the face and scolded her in a delicate voice: "You are such a presumptuous dog slave, you slander the Imperial Concubine without even opening your mouth!"
She shouted into the house, "Your Majesty! An assassin has entered Yongshou Palace. The concubine is afraid that the assassin wants to kill the emperor, so she hurried to warn you!"
Hongli's irritability was all cooled by the words "assassin regicide". He walked out quickly and looked at Yan Wan first. Seeing that she was intact and just a little embarrassed, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"How dare you! You didn't call for help from the guards and you were still thinking about me!"
Yan Wan tightly grasped his big hand: "If something happens to the emperor, what's the point of me living? Your Majesty! I didn't dare to speak or call the guards along the way, for fear that the assassins would be led by me to the Yikun Palace and hurt you again. You, you quickly strengthen the guards!"
She was so anxious that she didn't care about anything else. Her heart and eyes were filled with the emperor on whom she depended for survival.
While Hongli was angry, he felt the intensity of her love even more. He held her hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry."
There were guards guarding outside the Yikun Palace. He gave a series of orders and Jinzhong hurried out. After a while, he led the guards directly into the yard. After arranging the defense of the Yikun Palace, he went directly to the Yongshou Palace to catch the assassin.
Ruyi collapsed on the bed, her body tilted, staring at Hongli and Yanwan outside the door. For the first time, she realized so clearly that Wei Yanwan, this woman, had long surpassed her, her childhood sweetheart, in the emperor's heart.
She could no longer deceive herself. Hongli was just deceived by Wei Yanwan, so he had many misunderstandings about her. Hongli really liked Wei Yanwan! He was so special to her!
Her whole body was trembling, her lower abdomen was contracting and painful, and streams of heat were constantly seeping out from between her legs, but she didn't care. She just stared straight at the two people's clasped hands outside, looking, thinking, and pondering in a self-torturing manner.
It was Yan Wan who felt her gaze, turned around suddenly, and saw her bloodless face, which looked like a corpse, before she realized that something was wrong.
After hesitating for two breaths, Yan Wan decided not to let Ruyi die for the time being.
Ruyi is more valuable when she is alive than when she is dead.
In this palace, Yan Wan always knew who her enemies and her reliance were - the emperor and the empress dowager were both her support and her biggest threat.
The future is still very long, and it would be best for Ruyi to be alive, at least until Princess Xiangjian is dealt with.
Yan Wan held Hongli's hand tightly and said, "Your Majesty, do you think Concubine Xian's face looks strange?!"
Afraid that Hongli couldn't see clearly, she pulled Hongli into the house. After two steps, the pungent smell of blood hit him in the face. Without looking closely, Hongli knew that something was wrong.
"Call the doctor immediately!!!"
Ruyi looked at Hongli with a numb expression: "What's the point of calling the imperial physician? Does the emperor still care about the life of this concubine?"
She suddenly smiled sadly, "The Emperor is no longer Qingying's Hongli, but Wei Yanwan's Emperor."
Hongli felt a little bitter in his heart, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the discomfort came from Ruyi's weirdness or from his feelings for Ruyi, but he never liked to dwell on these useless things. He called the imperial physician and asked him to make sure the patient was cured.
Zhang Yun was also helpless: "Your Majesty, this child is probably..."
Hongli said coldly: "She has lost so much blood. Unless she is pregnant with Nezha, there is no way she can be saved! Use whatever medicine you need! If she doesn't drink it, just force her to drink it. Force the medicine. I don't need to teach you, do I?"
Zhang Yunru was pardoned: "Quick! Bring me another bowl of abortion medicine!"
Although the child could not be saved, the placenta had to come out. Otherwise, even the immortals could not save Concubine Xian.
Zhang Yun personally poured the medicine into the patient, and after he finished, he said, "We need a very experienced midwife!"
