"You're saying that the slut not only didn't die of illness, she even came back to life?" The Queen was wearing a newly made dress with a jacket. She was sitting on a phoenix chair with her hairpin swaying. She pinched the handkerchief in her hand tightly. She was filled with anger, and her eyes were gloomy.

The eunuch kneeling in front of her spoke, "That's right, Empress. That Mo Family woman did not take her life last time due to a serious illness. She's still alive and kicking in the cold palace. "

After the Mo Family woman entered the cold palace, Empress Wang never noticed her again. It was only a month ago that she had heard that she had contracted a serious illness, and she thought viciously that it would be best if she died of it. Then, busy with preparations for the Empress Dowager's birthday, she forgot about it.

Now that he finally had some free time today, he called someone to check the Caiyun Hall to see if Mo Yan was still alive. It would be best if they were already dead, as they had long been quietly dragged out and thrown into the unmarked cemetery.

However, she did not expect the eunuch to come back to report that she was still alive and kicking in the cold palace. A lowly life is really big!

She thought for a moment, and the anger between her brows gradually dissipated. She gave a gentle smile. "Since this slut's life is that big, then let her properly spend the winter in the cold palace!"

She didn't believe that Mo Yan would be able to endure the cold winter months.

As soon as the eunuch left, the empress's personal servant, Maid, entered. "Empress, the First Prince is still waiting outside."

"Tell him not to bother me!" Queen Wang raised her voice. "All day long, you've been causing trouble for me. So what if I see them? They should all be dead before they are clean! "

"Empress, you don't dare to say that!" Maid hurriedly took a step forward and said nervously, "It's the Emperor's bloodline after all. If someone is willing to listen, then some slanderous words from the Emperor might lead to a disagreement between the Emperor and the Empress."

Empress Wang thought of something and her eyes suddenly reddened. "How long has it been since he last came to see me?" "What is it? He doesn't care about me at all …"

"The Emperor is diligent in government affairs, so it is normal for him to not come to the harem often. Why can't the Empress keep her patience? " Maid said.

The empress wiped the corner of her eyes with her handkerchief and said aggrievedly, "Was he too busy to leave? I personally made some soup for him the day before yesterday to send over to the Zhaoyang Hall, what did he do to me? You won't see me. Send Eunuch Guan to bring the soup in, then call me back, and don't go to Zhaoyang Hall. It was obvious that she despised me. I am his queen, how can he do this to me? "

"Empress, I'm keeping an eye out for you." I haven't been to anyone's palace recently. Even Consort Zheng imitated the Empress and sent her to the emperor to make soup. In the end, the emperor didn't leave any of her soup behind, so Eunuch Guan persuaded her to return. You don't know how nice Consort Zheng looked at that time. In my opinion, in this palace, other than that Mo Family girl, the other one belongs to her. She has been hiding her enchantment all day and has always wanted to seduce the Emperor. "

"Really?" The empress was alarmed. "Then, what about Consort Zheng?"

"How can that be false? The old servant saw it with his own eyes. Not only Consort Zheng was there, but also Consort Song. They were all circling around the Emperor like flies. "However, none of them succeeded."

"Humph!" A bunch of little bitches! Don't you know what kind of trash you are! "What can you use to compete with me?"

"That's true. In terms of birth talent or looks, none of the people in this palace can compare to the Empress."

The empress thought for a moment before asking, "Maid, do you think the emperor will come visit me when I say I'm sick and that I'm bedridden?"

"Then the assignment will come." Maid said happily, "You two are husband and wife after all." Your phoenix body doesn't feel safe, so how could the emperor not come? "

"Then do it." In order to be secure, she had to think of a way to conceive another child.

Han Jie had nothing to do all day and wandered around the imperial harem like a homeless child. His small body was dressed in an ill-fitting long jacket, and there was a supplement on his back. The patches were of a different color from the jacket, making them very conspicuous. This outfit, if one were to walk on the streets, one would be like a beggar.

Not to mention that he was holding onto a small wooden stick from a branch. More like a beggar. All the palace maids and eunuchs who saw him frowned. He could not understand why the other party would come out every day to make a fuss over such a despicable thing.

When he reached a corner, a eunuch walked towards him and bumped into him. He threw himself into the man's arms.

"Ouch!" The eunuch shouted in a shrill voice, "Who is this, he's so blind!"

When he had finished, he pulled him out, took his chin between his fingers, and raised his other hand, ready to strike.

When he could clearly see his face, the eunuch stopped midway. "Your Highness?"

At this moment, Han Jie also recognized him, "Eunuch Guan." he shouted indifferently.

"Aiya, after colliding with Your Highness, this old servant really deserves to die!" Eunuch Guan smacked his lips as if he was pretending. He looked Han Jie from head to toe and asked with concern, "Did it hurt His Highness?"

Han Jie shook his head, "No." With that, he moved to the side and prepared to continue walking.

Eunuch Guan quickly stopped him, "Where is Your Highness going?"

"I don't know. I'm just strolling around." Han Jie said.

"It's getting late, Your Highness should return to the Ningren Palace, don't run around. Empress's phoenix body was not well today, so the emperor was planning to pay a visit to the empress during dinner time. Quickly go back and change your clothes. When the time comes, I'll kowtow to you, Royal Father. "

Han Jie looked at Eunuch Guan and asked doubtfully, "Empress is still well. Why is she suddenly sick?"

Eunuch Guan laughed and said to him in a low voice, "Your Highness, you better not say such nonsense." If the empress says she's sick, then she's sick. Isn't it good for you for the emperor to visit her? No matter what, you are still the Emperor's son. You're ten years old now, and you still haven't remembered your face. Do you ever think about how you will live in ten years' time? "

Seeing Han Jie's blank look, Eunuch Guan said anxiously: "Your Highness, you have to plan for your future! Even if you don't want to be spoiled, you have to let the Emperor know that a son like you exists! "

Han Jie thought about Eunuch Guan's words, grinned once, and spread out his hands: "Thank you, Eunuch Guan, for your advice." "But as a poor person, there's nothing to thank you for."

"Cough!" I'm not saying this because you can give me a gift of thanks. I watched you grow up. When you are old, you can't bear to see yourself being grinded. "You've lost your mother when you were born. Anyone who has a bit of kindness in their heart will not pity you."

Han Jie frowned and suddenly asked, "Eunuch Guan, do you know what my mother looks like?"

It didn't matter how terrible his birth mother was or how lowly she was rumored to be. Those were the women who had given birth to him. He wanted to know everything about her.

Eunuch Guan was stunned, his face had a look of disbelief: "That really stopped me." You were born when I served the emperor. I've never seen what your mother looks like. "

"Then do you know which other palace maids and eunuchs stayed in the East Palace?"

"Your Highness, why did you ask about this today? It's all in the past, and your mother is gone. There's no point in asking. " "Moreover, if the emperor knew that you were inquiring about your mother, I'm afraid he would be even less pleased with you."

"I just want to know."

"This old servant can't help you, this old servant still has to go do something. Your Highness, quickly return to Ningren Palace."

After Eunuch Guan said this, he left in a hurry. Han Jie stared at his back for a long time before withdrawing his gaze. Lowering his head, he continued walking.

Eunuch Guan only dared to slow down after he had passed a corner. Perhaps no one knew better than him what happened back then. It was just that he couldn't say it out loud.

When Han Jie was born, the emperor was still the crown prince, and he was only fourteen years old. He was a child to begin with, so how could he possibly feel fatherly towards Han Jie? Moreover, Han Jie's birth mother was not an ordinary palace maid, but a woman that had been carefully groomed by King Ann and placed by the emperor. Her goal was to seduce the emperor into a infatuation, to make the late emperor loathe her, and to make him unable to sit on the throne as the crown prince.

King Ann was the son of the former Crown Prince. Although he was the emperor's nephew, he was three years older than the emperor. He'd coveted the throne from the moment he'd been conferred the title of king.

After the emperor was successfully seduced by the palace maid, he was perhaps the first woman to have a romantic relationship with him. He once had a deep infatuation for her, and wanted to make her his secondary wife. But this was opposed by the Empress Mother, and in a fit of rage she wanted to kill the palace maid who had bewitched the Emperor.

At that time, the Emperor had not hesitated to protect the palace maid, and had vowed to live and die with her. The palace maid was moved to reveal her true identity to the Emperor. After the Emperor recovered from his shock, she ignored the palace maid who was already five months pregnant, unable to bear the brunt of the deceit.

Later on, the palace maid successfully gave birth to Han Jie, and then begged the Emperor to grant her death. The Emperor remembered their feelings from the beginning and didn't kill her. Instead, he sent her out of the palace. He ordered her not to take even a single step into the capital. After Han Jie was born, the palace maid was announced to have bled to death.

Afterwards, Han Jie was casually arranged to be taken care of by the Emperor, regardless of the consequences. In the beginning, you can't let go of the knot in your heart that you've been cheating on. Later, it was time to ascend the throne and become emperor. The matters of government and country entangled his body, and he had truly forgotten the existence of this child.

Eunuch Guan sighed, "What a sin."

When the empress heard that the emperor's dinner would be used in the Ningren Palace, she was almost unable to keep her health. Only after being reminded by her personal Maid did she finally remember that she was sick. Half lying on the bed, he instructed the palace maids to get busy.

Her purpose was to keep the Emperor here tonight.

The Emperor arrived with a grandiose bearing. Queen Wang, supported by Maid and the palace maids, came to the main hall to greet them. The Emperor saw that her face was indeed pale and much thinner than before. Without letting her bow, he instructed the palace maids to help her return to her bed and lie down.

Empress Wang smiled weakly. "When I came to see Your Majesty, I felt much better. After lying down for a day, it's time to get up and take a seat. "

"In that case, come and sit with me." The Emperor was neither cold nor hot. With a frown between his eyebrows, he seemed to be preoccupied with something.

After sitting for a while, the empress ordered food served. He then changed into a white dress with red stripes, wanting to personally serve the Emperor.

The emperor hastened to dissuade her. "The empress's health is more important. Let the palace maids do these things first."

"Your Majesty is busy with matters of the nation. Husband and wife rarely get a chance to eat together, so allow me to serve your majesty." There's nothing wrong with my body now. "

"Then I'll have to trouble the empress." When the Emperor saw her insistence, he let her.

"Why are you telling me this?" The Queen smiled, looking extremely charming and charming.

Eunuch Guan thought, "I guessed right, this queen's illness is fake. "You've really put in a lot of effort to see the Emperor."

"Empress, has Your Highness been obedient recently?" Eunuch Guan, who was standing beside the emperor, casually laughed and said, "I even bumped into Your Highness today. It looked a little longer than before. I think it's because Empress took good care of him. "
