Chapter 258 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 15
Han Xiangjian jumped to the very end, about to commit suicide, but was stopped by the guards.
"Stop her, protect her!" the Emperor said anxiously.
Seeing that there was no other way, Hanxiang wept as the Emperor insisted that she stay in the palace.
Advice was useless; the Empress Dowager was gone, and there was no Empress. Only Ruyi spoke up to offer some advice; the others remained silent.
The emperor was determined to do his own thing, and there was nothing anyone could do.
Finally, everyone dispersed, and Wei Yanwan led her entourage back to Yongshou Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor seems quite fond of this beauty sent by the Han tribe," Chunyu said worriedly.
Wei Yanwan smiled and said, "His Majesty has never seen anything like this before, and he is currently in high spirits."
"Master, then we..."
“We don’t need to worry about that. You have some free time, so find me a few instructors. I happen to have some free time recently, so I can learn to dance.” Wei Yanwan continued her words.
"Yes, Lord."

Inside Zhongcui Palace, Consort Xian and Consort Chun were also sitting together talking.
“Ahem, I have never seen the Emperor so infatuated with someone,” Su Luyun coughed and said.
Ruyi looked at her: "Lüyun, how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine, cough cough, cough..."
Seeing that she was coughing so badly, Ruyi stepped forward and patted her back.
Then he answered her question: "I have never seen the Emperor like this before."
"The emperor was used to everyone fawning over him, and no one had ever resisted him like this before, which aroused his interest even more."
Ruyi withdrew her hand from patting the back of the woman: "Now that His Majesty has reached this age, he is becoming more and more different."
"Do you think Yongshou Palace is in a hurry? After all, Consort Ling was the most favored before!" Su Luyun said, perking up.
Ruyi shook her head: "I don't know either, but when I was advising the Emperor just now, she didn't say anything."
"Consort Ling doesn't like to go out, and she doesn't interact with us. It's really hard to understand her."
Ruyi thought of Wei Yanwan, who was just a palace maid back then, but now she was on equal footing with her and, more importantly, favored by the emperor.
"She's so favored, how come she hasn't gotten pregnant yet?"
Speaking of this, Su Luyun also wondered, "Could it be that there is something wrong with her body?"
Ruyi shook her head: "Perhaps the time is not right yet!"
After talking for a while, Ruyi led her entourage back to her palace.

Sure enough, in the days that followed, the Emperor focused all his attention on Han Xiangjian in Chengqian Palace.
The harem was practically empty; apart from having lunch at Yongshou Palace twice, the emperor never entered the harem.
Ruyi always went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see the Emperor.
Wei Yanwan didn't worry about these things; she was practicing dance with her newly hired instructor.
Right now, she's focused on learning as much as possible. Once she leaves the palace, she won't be interested in studying anymore; she'll just want to relax and do nothing.
After practicing for an hour, she was served to take a bath and came out wearing her undergarments.
Then she saw Jinzhong standing in the hall, and Wei Yanwan walked to the dressing table and sat down.
"Why are you here? Aren't you serving the Emperor today?"
Jinzhong stepped forward, took the comb from Chunlan's hand, and combed her hair.
Seeing that Wei Yanwan did not object, Chunlan stood aside and waited.
"His Majesty went to Chengqian Palace with some people with him. This servant came to see Your Highness."
Wei Yanwan raised an eyebrow: "If things go well at Chengqian Palace, the Emperor will surely give you an important position. Why aren't you going?"
“None of those are as important as Your Majesty. If I could, I would gladly serve you personally!” Jinzhong said with a smile.
"Serving me won't earn you any face in front of the Emperor. Don't you want to climb the ranks?"
"Your Highness, you wouldn't sit in the position of Imperial Concubine for too long, would you?" Jinzhong said frankly.
Wei Yanwan smiled and looked at Chunlan beside her: "You go out first!"
"Yes, Master, I will go and keep an eye on your dinner."
Wei Yanwan nodded, and Chunlan bowed and took her leave.
After everyone left, she looked at the person behind her in the mirror.
"His Majesty only has a few months left; we must make some preparations!"
Upon hearing this, Jinzhong paused for a moment: "Is there anything Your Majesty needs me to do?"
"I want to find a suitable prince so that the emperor can pass the throne to him."
"Does Your Majesty have someone in mind?"
“The princes in the palace who are of suitable age are the First Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince. However, the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince were both born to Lady Jin, so their status is not suitable.”
Jinzhong added, "The Fifth Prince is currently being raised by Consort Xian, and his birth mother is on good terms with her. The Third Prince and the Sixth Prince are both Consort Chun's biological sons, so the only suitable candidate is the First Prince?"
"The eldest prince? Is he still being raised by Consort Chun?"
"That's right, do you want it from Consort Chun?" Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes, Wei Yanwan shook her head.
"Judging from Consort Chun's condition today, it seems she won't live much longer. We'll see how things go then."
She remembered that in the storyline, Consort Chun only had a few episodes left before she was about to leave the show.
"Host, are you sure you want to choose the First Prince?"
"Good enough is fine. There's no suitable candidate, and isn't there a Wise Ruler System? Anyway, I won't be the Empress Dowager for long. As long as he's a good emperor, nothing else matters."
"Indeed, host, you decide what to do!"
Jinzhong spoke up, "Since Your Majesty knows the answer, that's good. But how will the Emperor pass the throne to the First Prince?"
Wei Yanwan smiled and said, "I have my own way of dealing with this. What we need to do now is to suppress Consort Xian."
After all, Ruyi had raised Yonghuang, so there was still some affection between them.
"Nowadays, the only thing that can anger the Emperor is the matter of Chengqian Palace."
"Okay, come a little closer!" Wei Yanwan said with a smile.
Jinzhong lowered his head and leaned closer to her. Wei Yanwan whispered, "If you do this..."
Upon hearing this, Jinzhong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your idea is good. This servant will go back and think of a solution."
Wei Yanwan smiled but remained silent. This wasn't her own idea; in the story, the Empress Dowager had used Ruyi to do it in the same way.
If the sterilization drug is given to Han Xiangjian through Ruyi, the Emperor will naturally be angry with her. Moreover, their relationship is even worse than in the drama.
"Host, fortunately, Han Xiangjian doesn't want to give birth to the Emperor's child either. Your world does have a rather villainous style."
"I actually prefer to take direct action. This sneaky approach is not as satisfying as a fight."
“Host, you’re doing all this for the mission.”
"Hmm, I don't want to think about it anymore."

Some time later, Jinzhong came again. When only the two of them remained in the hall, he said, "I have done everything Your Majesty instructed."
Wei Yanwan nodded: "Okay, then let's wait for the results!"
Not long after, Xiao Qi's voice rang in Wei Yanwan's mind.
"Host, that scumbag dragon slapped the female lead and demoted her to the rank of concubine."
"okay, I get it!"
Jinzhong noticed that Wei Yanwan was lost in thought, so he stepped forward, put his hand on her shoulder, and pressed it down: "What is Your Highness thinking about?"
