Yanwan suspects that Chunchan is a secret killer
In the depths of the palace, Ruyi frankly told the Queen Mother her aunt's teachings before her death: “ act in the palace not to poison the body, but only to poison the heart.” She had never understood this before and had never done it, but now she ended up like this.She claimed to be useless and was confused about how to protect her twelfth brother. She begged the Queen Mother to save the only bloodline of Aixinjueluo and Ulanara.
However, the Queen Mother's request to Ruyi was not clear. At this time, a battle for power was quietly going on in the court.Rong Pei and Ye Xin took Chun Chan away, and Yan Wan learned about it and quickly sent people to search for her.Ruyi ordered people to tie up Chunchan and tried to learn Yanwan's secret from her, but Chunchan remained tight-lipped.Rong Pei decided to wait until dark before letting Chun Chan go back. This move undoubtedly deepened Yan Wan's suspicion of Chun Chan.
Ruyi encountered the emperor's chariot when she left, but she ignored it. She only worried about her twelfth brother.On the other side, Yan Wan couldn't find Chun Chan, but Chun Chan was returned to her palace.Faced with Yan Wan's questioning, Chunchan insisted that she didn't say anything, but Yan Wan had already developed deep doubts about her.
After a tiring day, Ruyi still insisted on sewing clothes for the twelfth prince. Her motherly love and perseverance were touching.The next day, the twelfth elder brother was taken to Cining Palace to be raised by the Queen Mother. This news made Yan Wan feel uneasy.She was worried that her plans would be affected, and even more doubted whether Chunchan had leaked the news.
At the palace table, the twelfth prince was not interested in the food in the imperial kitchen, which attracted the attention of the Queen Mother.She ordered the emperor to check the chef who cooked for the twelfth prince in the imperial kitchen. If it was really more to his taste, let him continue to cook for the twelfth prince.This news reached Yanwan's ears, and she became even more convinced of what Chunchan said in front of Ruyi.So, she decided to take action and send the person who served the twelfth prince out of the palace.
On the way to pick up her fifteenth elder brother from school, Yan Wan asked him to protect her, which was overheard by the eunuch arranged by Princess He Jing.Princess He Jing learned of Yan Wan's ambition and informed the emperor about it.After weighing the candidates to inherit the throne, the emperor decided to hand over the fifteenth prince to the concubine of Shoukang Palace to raise him.This decision made Yan Wan feel desperate. She didn't understand why the emperor treated her like this.
In Yanwan Palace, Yuhu read out the emperor's decree and said that from now on all Mongolian concubines would be free from Yanwan's control.Yan Wan felt helpless and angry. She begged to keep her fifteenth brother by her side, but Yuhu accused her of not being able to teach her son well and ordered someone to take her fifteenth brother away by force.Yanwan grabbed Chunchan's neck in anger, but then apologized to her and asked her to leave the palace to pull out the weeds in front of her mother's grave.All this was seen by Hailan, who sent someone to tell Dr. Jiang to follow Chunchan.
In the suburbs, Chunchan felt exhausted and realized that Yanwan wanted to harm her.At this time, Doctor Jiang appeared and rescued Chunchan.Back in the palace, Hailan told Wang Chan that Chunchan was dead, and now only Wang Chan was left with Yan Wan.Soon after, the emperor fell ill, and Yu Hu secretly invited Dr. Jiang.Imperial Physician Jiang told Yan Wan that the emperor's condition was critical and required consultation from other imperial physicians.Yan Wan felt uneasy. She thought of the scene when the late emperor died and began to prepare for her future.
In the Yangxin Hall, Yan Wan overheard the Queen Mother and the Emperor discussing the throne.After she learned that the Queen Mother intended to let the twelfth prince succeed to the throne, she began to have thoughts.She decided to take action to pave the way for a future for herself and her fifteenth brother.However, she did not realize that she had fallen into a trap.
