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

Chapter 293 Mockery

"This is all thanks to you, Wei Yanwan! You are so ambitious and ruthless, you will definitely get your comeuppance!"

When Hai Lan heard her mention the years in the greenhouse and Qixiang Palace, she didn't feel a bit guilty, but began to feel indignant instead.

"Retribution? Okay, then we'll wait and see. Which comes faster, my ascension to the throne of empress, or your so-called retribution? However... I don't know if my retribution will come, but yours must have already come."

Looking at Hai Lanru's clown-like appearance, Yan Wan gently shook the brocade butterfly fan in her hand, proudly admiring her masterpiece.

Before Hai Lan could speak, Yan Wan interrupted her.

"Hai Lan, you've been living in seclusion in the palace for these past few years. Haven't you seen Ruyi's true face? Has she ever sent anyone to visit you? Has she ever said a word for you in front of the Emperor? Now that you've returned to the capital, you won't still want to be her dog, will you?"

Hailan was stunned for a moment, and Yanwan's words kept echoing in her ears.

It is true that she has never received any care from her sister in these years.

"What does this have to do with you? If she hadn't caused my sister to be imprisoned, she wouldn't be like this. Wei Yanwan, don't even think about alienating our sisterhood. If this is the reason you brought me here today, I advise you to give up on it!"

Hailan spoke dryly. Although her attitude was firm, she still lacked confidence in her heart.

puff--

"Hahaha, look at that! Look at that! She's put you in this predicament, and you're still talking about sisterhood? Does she consider you a sister? You're nothing but a dog that she can summon and dismiss at will!"

"If not, how could she have ignored you for so many years? Although she was under house arrest, she was safe and sound. If Jiang Yebin had secretly taken some money out of the palace to take care of things, you wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state..."

Yanwan stood up suddenly and walked towards Hailan step by step.

She spoke slowly around her pillow, and finally raised her chin gently while holding the brocade fan with gold thread border and inlaid gems.

She stood on the bottom of the flowerpot, a whole head taller than Hai Lan, looking down at her from above, with an oppressive air of a superior all over her body.

Hailan did not resist, but just stared at Yanwan fiercely.

"No matter how much you say, I won't listen. I'm still my sister, and I won't tolerate your slander. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. I won't listen to your instigation to target my sister no matter what."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity..."

Yanwan smiled, shook her head and sighed.

Seeing this look, Hai Lan felt scared and said with a sigh.

"What do you regret?"

"What a pity for Yongqi's leg. You still don't know what Yongqi did to rescue you from the palace, right?"

When she heard Yongqi, Hailan's eyes flickered with emotion.

During her time in the palace, she thought back on her life and felt that the person she felt most sorry for was Yongqi.

Over the years, her sister ignored her, and only Yongqi kept thinking about her, this incompetent mother. After leaving the capital for these years, she slowly realized that she had owed Yongqi too much.

"Yongqi's leg? What's wrong with his leg? Tell me! Tell me now."

She suddenly became excited and stepped forward to grab Yan Wan's arms.

It’s a pity that she has been seriously ill in recent years, and she is weak and has little strength. Yan Wan raised her hand and threw her to the ground.

"A month ago, the Emperor's chambers caught fire, and he rescued the Emperor. Unfortunately, he was injured, and his right leg was almost... rotten..."

"The imperial physician fainted several times while cleaning and setting his bones. He only managed to survive by forcing himself to do so. It's still uncertain whether his leg will ever fully heal. Even in this predicament, he still hasn't forgotten you, his mother. He's using your service in exchange for your release... Hailan, you truly gave birth to a wonderful son..."

Yan Wan looked down at her condescendingly, her eyes cold and her face filled with indifference and mockery.

Hearing Yan Wan say this, Hai Lan almost couldn't hold back her tears and fell on the spot.

"You lied to me! It was you! You were lying to me, weren't you? Yongqi's legs must still be fine. You were lying to me!"

"Lie to you? What on earth do you have that's worthy of my lying? I'm a dignified Imperial Consort, would I lie to you about the dispensable title of noble? Or your sister, the Empress, who has lost even her imperial seal and is in danger of losing her position? This is a great mercy from me, you really should thank me."

Yan Wan sneered, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, the faint tea fragrance lingering at the tip of her nose.

Hailan was now at a loss. She had never expected that Yongqi's legs would actually...

"What happened to his leg? Was it you? Was it you who caused it? I'm telling you, if anything goes wrong with Yongqi, I will never let you go!"

Hailan finally managed to grab something and started cursing at Yanwan.

"I can get whatever I want now, so why would I bully a child? I swear, the fire that day was definitely not my doing... Blame it on your bad luck, for running into Ruyi, the unlucky star. Now all of you have been torn apart by her... How miserable..."

Yan Wan smiled and shook her head sarcastically, the calmness on her face made Hai Lan unconsciously listen to her words.

Wei Yanwan has sworn an oath, so it must be true.

Besides, her child was only two years old. If Yongqi had not saved the emperor, her child would not have been able to ascend the throne.

This does her no good.

Is it really because of my sister?

A few years ago, when Yongqi visited her, he also mentioned the recent situation in the palace. Jiang Yebin, Ling Yunche and the others were all dead...

"That Yongqi's leg..."

she asked cautiously.

The energy that was devoted to Ruyi disappeared without a trace.

Five years is enough time for her to think through many things.

"I don't know. It's even more serious than what happened to惢心's leg. The imperial physician reconnected the bones, but whether he can recover in the future depends entirely on his own luck."

She sighed deeply, rarely showing any regret.

These words hit Hailan's heart like a heavy hammer.

Suo Xin's leg was broken back then, and even if it was reattached, it would still be difficult for her to walk... Yong Qi is so young, how could he...

"I am a close friend of Yongqi's. As his elder, I appreciate his filial piety. While the Emperor is still here from his autumn hunt, I'll allow you to stay with him for a while in the Old Summer Palace."

After saying that, Yan Wan slowly stood up and added a sentence as she walked.

"Hai Lan, please take good care of your child. He has had a hard time these past few years. Even this 'evil woman' like me feels so distressed when I see him..."

After saying that, Yan Wan raised her foot, opened the door and walked out.

Hailan was left alone inside, crying bitterly.

"Master? Do you want to send someone to take her there?"

As soon as she came out of the inner hall, Chunchan came to greet her.

Yan Wan nodded and instructed, "Wait until she has cried enough and has come out on her own before sending her there."

It would be a shame to kill Hailan, this mad dog.

She must keep her in her hands, as she will be of great use in the future.
