As soon as Lao Wu returned from Yinzhen, he planned to write a letter to Fu Jin, asking her to prepare a gift carefully. After the people returned to Beijing and the storm subsided, he would ask her to visit the Fourth Prince's mansion.

Ugh……

Lao Wu sighed deeply.

I don't think my mother and my ninth brother can be saved...

My mother has served the emperor for many years, and my ninth brother is his biological son, so he should be able to save his life, right?

But don’t even think about a life of wealth and honor.

The carriage swayed slowly and soon returned to the capital.

Compared with the huge team that set out from the capital before, there were much fewer people returning to the capital this time. Most of them were killed on the battlefield, and a large number of them were officials and their families.

There were also casualties in the palaces of several royal princes who came out this time.

The Third Prince's other concubine was gone, and his two children who were less than one year old were accidentally injured in the panic and died. He was now completely exhausted.

The Fifth Prince didn't bring any people with him, so there were no casualties this time. However, the one who plotted treason was his own brother, so that was enough to make him pay the price.

The same thing happened to Thirteen and Fourteen. They only brought two princesses this time. One of them was missing a princess, and they were killed by the rebels. Fortunately, Wanhe and Hongchun were healthy. The conscienceless Fourteenth didn't take it to heart at all, and was still thinking about whether he could get some credit this time. But Wanhe couldn't bear it, so she personally had her body packed up and planned to go back for burial.

However, none of them suffered as heavy a loss as the Fourth Prince. His wife died. Even though he had so many achievements, it is still a pity.

Ulanara had been married to him for so many years and had always worked diligently. Even though she had some small thoughts, she could generally be considered a qualified and excellent legitimate wife, and all the sisters-in-law praised her.

Now that she is gone, the merit of saving the emperor has been cast a shadow.

Yinzhen felt even more upset.

Even though he no longer had any romantic feelings for his wife and seldom met her, they were, after all, a young couple who had been together for so many years, so there was always affection for each other.

No matter how much he liked Changning and how much he wanted to make her his principal wife, he had to give face to Ulanara and could not let his wife see him in public before her body was cold.

Not to mention having to consider Honghui's feelings.

Changning naturally understood.

The most outrageous thing that Fujin had done in all these years was to use the knife of Niuhulu. After being beaten by her, he never made any mistakes again, and even when Honghui and Yierha were close to Qingzhiyuan, she never stopped them.

When a person dies, all the light goes out. The living people will only remember her good points, and all the previous conflicts will disappear into thin air.

After returning to Beijing, Changning prepared to hand-copy a Buddhist scripture and burn it for Fu Jin, as a token of her gratitude.

As soon as their masters returned home, the princesses who stayed in the Beile Mansion began to stay at home again.

They had also heard the news that eighty-nine princes had joined forces with Soe to plot rebellion, the crown prince had been deposed, and the fourth wife had died.

Each of these is breaking news, and they have no right to interfere.

Originally, when the concubine left the mansion, Song Gege and Liu Gege were the housekeepers. Now that the concubine is gone, they can only report the news to Concubine Chun.

Changning was staying in Qingzhiyuan, listening to Nanny Zhang asking her about her well-being. When she heard that there was a rebellion, she was scared out of her wits, fearing that something might happen to Changning. Fortunately, Qingzhiyuan was returned intact, so she was relieved, but she couldn't help but give her a few more instructions.

Tingfeng came to report that the two princesses had arrived. Changning had a headache after hearing that and wanted to sleep, but was pulled up by Aunt Zhang. Now she was the only proper mistress in the mansion. The prince had gone to the palace to do business early in the morning and did not report to her. Could it be that the two princesses were in charge of all matters in the Prince's mansion? That was too outrageous.

Although she is still pregnant and may not have enough energy, there is no harm in listening. Anyway, these things will be handed over to her sooner or later.

Changning had no choice but to tidy up a little and invited them in.

The two were unusually respectful this time, and bowed deeply as soon as they came in. Changning quickly asked someone to help them up, as she didn't have the habit of having people wish her a happy new year.

"No need for all the formalities, just speak." Changning raised his handkerchief to cover his mouth and yawned.

Liu Song and the other man looked at each other and realized that Master Chun was sleepy, so they hurriedly explained the affairs of the past few days in detail.

Changning nodded. These two people were the right-hand men of the concubine. The housekeeper also followed the routine. If there was nothing wrong, he let them go back and only left Song to ask about Yierha's news.

"I heard that she had her period and she is staying in the mansion to recuperate. How is she now?"

Song Gege's face was full of tenderness when she mentioned her daughter: "Thank you, Mrs. Chun, for your concern. The eldest princess has been using Wuhong soup with medicinal food, and now she is much better."

Changning nodded. The torture of menstruation was indeed annoying. It was important to take care of it as soon as possible while she was still young.

"That's good. Keep her under treatment and don't be stingy with her. I have also discussed Yi Erha's matter with Lord Beile. Originally, her imperial certificate was recorded under the name of the wife, so she was considered a legitimate daughter of the main courtyard. Although the wife is gone now, it is not appropriate to keep her in your courtyard. After all, she is old enough to get married now, and she should have her own courtyard."

Song Gege had been prepared for this and nodded quickly: "That's right, everything will be up to Concubine Chun and Prince Beile."

Chang Ning was satisfied with her obedient attitude: "Don't worry about Yierha's marriage, the prince will not regret it. I have a lot of things to do now, and I may not have too much energy to take care of everything. You still need to take care of Yierha. If there is anything missing, just report it to me directly. She is now in the period of being restrained by the nanny to learn things, so don't let her be too tired."

"Yes." Song Gege felt that Mrs. Chun was thoughtful and considerate, and she became more convinced.

When she heard that her wife had passed away, she was indeed sad for a while, but she was more worried about her daughter's future.

The current arrangement for her is the best.

What’s even more rare is that the marriage has not changed.

Changning knew that after the death of his wife, the Fourth Prince's Mansion needed to strengthen its ties with the Ulanara clan, both to win over this old noble family and to reassure them.

Therefore, it was inevitable for Yierha to marry into the Ulanara clan.

Now that Yinzhen has saved the emperor and holds great power, there should be no problem if he doesn't want his daughter to be raised as a concubine.

Even if we take a step back and say that Kangxi only has two days left to live, there will be no problem if he can survive.

Finally these things were dealt with temporarily, and Changning lay on the bed, unable to open his eyes.

The chaos of swordplay, war and chaos has finally passed...

Lying on the soft bed in the quiet Qingzhi Courtyard, it seemed as if everything I experienced in Mulan Paddock some time ago was just like a dream.
