Qing Dynasty: The Imperial Concubine is Pregnant Again

Yinzhen appeared calm on the surface, but was a little surprised inside. He stepped forward, knelt down, and took the imperial edict from Liang Jiugong with both hands.

Liang Jiugong was watching the expressions and movements of the princes from above, and sighed imperceptibly when he saw the crown prince clenching his fists.

The Crown Prince is hostile even towards Prince Yong, who has always been on good terms with him.

After Liang Jiugong left with the young eunuch who came behind him, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely subtle. On the surface, everyone looked happy and smiling, but in fact, no one knew what they were thinking.

Yinzhen took in the expressions and actions of the Crown Prince, Prince Zhi, and Prince Cheng, and couldn't help but stroke the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.

The last time he went on a business trip to Jiangnan, the people he was hunted down were definitely not just those who were against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. Although his people only found out that the group was related to the anti-Qing Dynasty and restoration of the Ming Dynasty, he had a strong feeling that the mastermind was definitely among these few.

Is it the eldest brother who wants to clean up himself who is on good terms with the prince, or is it the second brother, the prince, who wants to get rid of all the people in power?

Before he could think about it further, the originally silent hall once again returned to the bustle of the banquet, and everyone acted as if the awkward atmosphere just now had not existed.

After Liang Jiugong left, the Crown Prince drank several glasses of wine, then left with the Crown Princess with a normal expression. The Crown Princess, Guaerjia, looked a little strange.

She was born into the Guarjia clan, a prominent Manchu family, and was brought up to be the Crown Princess. She had never encountered any setbacks since childhood. However, after she married the Crown Prince, she had one illegitimate son after another. Her sisters-in-law laughed at her countless times behind her back. Kangxi also hinted to the Empress Dowager to urge them to give birth to a legitimate son.

She could only endure the prince's disgust towards her. Now, seeing the prince jealous of others, she couldn't help feeling happy.

When the banquet was over and all the guests had left, Yinzhen, with a flushed face, staggered as he was supported by Su Peisheng. He was too happy today and accepted all the toasts from his brothers who were not on good terms with him.

Just as the two of them were heading towards the bedroom in the front yard, Yinzhen suddenly felt a surge of heat all over his body and his mind became cloudy.

Su Peisheng, who was supporting her, thought to himself that something was wrong, but he didn't know what to do. He was just about to go to the bedroom to ask a maid to come.

Yinzhen called out a name vaguely, and Su Peisheng then supported him and walked in a direction. This road led to the main courtyard and Piaoxue courtyard.

As soon as he entered Piaoxue Courtyard, Su Peisheng planned to go in and inform his master first. After letting his master sit in the pavilion in the courtyard, Su Peisheng walked inside.

All the servants in Piaoxue Courtyard were called away by Tong Nuanyan for half-day holiday today, leaving only Yunxin, Qiuyu and Chunxiu, who were close to them.

The twin brother and sister were only a few days old and loved to sleep. After Kangxi gave them a name, Xia Xi brought them back home. Now they were sleeping on the small bed in Tong Nuanyan's room.

Tong Nuanyan knew about it as early as when Su Peisheng brought Yinzhen into Piaoxue Courtyard. She was bored lying in bed these days and could only use her special powers to check the entire Prince Yong's Mansion every day.

She just calmly watched as a turquoise figure appeared and imitated her movements to help Yinzhen up. Tong Nuanyan wanted to see whether Yinzhen would take advantage of the situation or notice it.

The person who appeared was Xia Huan, who was punished by Tong Nuanyan to do rough work. Since being punished, she has been looking for opportunities and observing Tong Nuanyan's movements and expressions every day. Today, she finally seized the opportunity.

There was a shortage of staff in the kitchen, and Tong Nuanyan happened to have a half-day holiday, so she went directly to the kitchen to help. After using some silver to bribe a young eunuch, she successfully drugged the man.

At this moment, Xia Huan reached out and touched Yinzhen's arms, her voice pretending to be gentle: "Fourth Master~"

Because of the effect of the drug, Yinzhen allowed her to touch him randomly, but he was very surprised by the smell of that person. She was fine when she came over just now, but why did she feel different now that she was closer?

Just when Xia Huan sat in Yinzhen's arms, she felt that she was about to climb onto the bed successfully, but she was suddenly pushed to the ground, and her whole body fell heavily on the bluestone bricks.

"How dare you!" Yinzhen shouted angrily, stood up with the help of the stone table, and was about to kick Xia Huan on the ground. He didn't expect that there would be a maid who climbed into the bed in his palace.

What made him even more embarrassed was that he was angry at the way he had just let the other party do what he wanted, and he was even more ashamed that he had recognized the wrong person.

Xia Huan climbed up using both her hands and feet, and knelt on the ground, with blood flowing from her forehead. "Please spare my life, my lord. I won't dare to do it again. Please spare my life, my lord!"

She really felt a little regretful. When she stayed with Tong Nuanyan, she always thought that the Fourth Master was a gentle man, but she ignored the outside world's evaluation of the Fourth Master as a "cold-faced prince" who could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes.

Su Peisheng happened to come back at this time. When he saw this scene, he was shocked and his heart was pounding. He went forward and grabbed Xia Huan and pressed him to the ground.

"Fourth Master, I failed in my duty. Please punish me!"

Yinzhen leaned on the stone table and shook his head, suppressing the heat in his body, and gently announced Xia Huan's punishment: "Take him away and beat him to death!"

Su Peisheng dragged the screaming Xia Huan out of Piaoxue Courtyard, while Yinzhen staggered to the room where Tong Nuanyan was and leaned against the carved door.

A hand knocked gently on the door, unable to suppress its impatience: "Yan Yan... are you asleep?"

Tong Nuanyan inside the door naturally did not sleep. She did not expect Yinzhen's behavior just now. She had thought that Yinzhen would refuse, but she did not expect Yinzhen to react so strongly.

Tong Nuanyan had mixed feelings about Yinzhen's tone of weakness, and then she opened the door directly. The person leaning against the door was caught off guard by the sudden opening of the door, and fell on her.

Tong Nuanyan took it and held it in Yinzhen's arms.

"Yan Yan... I feel so uncomfortable..."

Yinzhen fell into her arms and began to linger on her, his body becoming hot due to the effect of the medicine. He had been very patient just now, but now he had lost a lot of rationality and became clingy.

"Yinzhen, wait a minute, I'm still in confinement."

Tong Nuanyan closed the door, and Yinzhen's hands were touching her all over. No matter how she tried to stop him, it was useless. After many unsuccessful resistances, she picked up the troublemaker and threw him onto the bed.

She is still in confinement after childbirth so naturally she cannot help Yinzhen. Even if she could, she doesn't want it to happen after Yinzhen loses his mind.

After transferring some supernatural powers to Yinzhen, there was still no effect. Instead, Yinzhen's face became redder and his body became very hot.

Tong Nuanyan had no choice but to push Yinzhen down on the bed. After taking off his clothes, she put her arms around him from behind, covering Yinzhen's lips with one hand and holding his lower body with the other.

After just a few times, Yinzhen's eyes gradually became clear, and then his memory returned. His body suddenly stiffened. He really didn't understand where Tong Nuanyan got all these tricks from?

Tong Nuanyan didn't give him the chance to think too much and pulled him to sleep.
