But Concubine Qian did not have that much power. Her father worked in the Imperial Household Department, but he had never been given any important position in the past few years.

Qianlong knew very well that Concubine Qian was not telling the whole truth.

She only said half of it.

Gao Yun captured Concubine Qian from there, but he could not torture her for the time being, after all, the three-year mourning period for the late emperor had just ended.

The emperor himself still claims that he is following the will of the late emperor.

If he tortured Concubine Qian severely and the news got out, the emperor's reputation would be damaged, and he himself would not be able to save his own life.

Yu Suisui was also concerned about this, and Gao Yuncong would occasionally say a few words, seemingly insignificant but useful.

However, such things cannot be done too often. After Yu Suisui told Qingguo about it, it never happened again.

Qianlong’s people can only be Qianlong’s people.

Getting close to someone will spell doom for both of you.

When Yu Sui returned from Jingshan and arrived at Chuxiu Palace, she was speechless and asked the sky, "Can't she have a day when she can get along well with the beauty?"

Zhang Changzai's foot had almost healed. She came over and saw Yu Suisui slumped on the couch, and asked with concern, "Are you unhappy about making tea with the imperial concubine today?" Xiuzhi liked the imperial concubine very much. The last time she came back, she said that the imperial concubine was really beautiful.

She envied the emperor very much.

Why do you look so listless today?

"I heard that something happened to the eldest prince, and it was related to the late emperor." Yu Suisui said. Yu Suisui found it a bit strange that this person insisted on linking this to something else.

Did the person behind this plot want to harm her? Or did he want to use this opportunity to capture all of Qianlong's sons?

No matter which one it was, Yu Suisui was annoyed that such people came and affected her date.

Zhang Changzai also knew that something had happened to the eldest prince, but she didn't care about him. Back then, Concubine Zhe gave birth to the eldest prince before the queen. At that time, she was still a little maid in the prince's palace. She also knew that the queen was sad because of this matter.

Therefore, until now, she has not cared about the eldest prince at all.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, why are you worrying about it here?" Zhang Changzai felt that this matter definitely had nothing to do with Yu Suisui.

She is not the person who can do such a thing, and there is no one around Xiuzhi who can help her do this.

"I heard it when I was drinking tea with the imperial concubine, and it affected my mood." Yu Suisui said. This was not a matter of whether she had anything to do with it or not. This matter was 100% related to her instigating Qianlong not to go to the imperial mausoleum.

In short, everything that happens will revolve around this point.

It seemed as if this incident of hers caused all the things that happened afterwards. She was the source, the source of all the bad things.

Zhang Changzai thought about it and realized that if she was having a good chat with the imperial concubine, hearing such news would affect her mood.

"If you don't want to go to the Imperial Concubine's place, you can refuse." Zhang Changzai was very happy to hear what Yu Suisui said, but she was also worried about Imperial Concubine Gao. Imperial Concubine Gao has been independent since she was in the palace.

She did not associate with any of the princesses in the backyard, and later when she entered the palace, she did not make friends with any of the concubines.

She heard people say that Concubine Gao was very aloof and looked down on those who had not been educated. She and Xiuzhi happened to be one of them.

They only know a few words and have no profound cultural knowledge, and can only read some simple books.

If it comes to the books in the Four Books and Five Classics, she doesn't know what they are about. Only very capable people can understand them.

She also heard that the imperial concubine liked to read history books.

Yu Suisui didn't want to refuse, "Sister Zhang, don't worry, I really like being with the imperial concubine." Zhang Changzai said this, definitely not out of jealousy, but because she was worried that her rank was lower than that of the imperial concubine Gao.

If Concubine Gao said something, she definitely couldn't refute it and could only endure it.

Zhang Changzai: "As long as you like it." She didn't want Xiuzhi to play with only her, stay in Chuxiu Palace, and be nice to the Queen only. After this incident with the Second Prince, Zhang Changzai's filter for the Queen was mostly shattered.

The queen knew exactly what kind of person Xiuzhi was, yet she still used those bad words to attack her.

In other words, Xiuzhi is magnanimous and doesn't care about these things.

-

In the evening, Zhang Chang was suddenly called over by the Queen.

In Changchun Palace, the Queen looked at Zhang Changzai, and then saw that her foot seemed a little inconvenient. "Your foot is injured, why didn't you say anything?" If she had known, she would not have called her over at this time.

Zhang Chang had a gentle look on her face, "Empress, my foot is fine." Her foot was almost healed. She had had more serious injuries before, but Xiuzhi felt that her foot was more serious.

He invited the imperial physician to see him with great fanfare, and asked the physician to prescribe medicine for him, which he took all day long.

There is also the pork bone soup, which is also stewed all the time.

The queen frowned and glanced at Zhang Changzai's face, "Now you are the emperor's concubine, how can you still call yourself a slave?" How come Lianrong doesn't understand any rules now?

Zhang Changzai immediately admitted her mistake, "Yes, I was confused and said the wrong thing. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." She was not the emperor's woman, but... forget it. Because of this, her family moved out of the Fucha Mansion, and the lady even gave them a small courtyard for their family to live in.

The queen felt a little better when she heard this.

"I asked you to come here because I wanted to ask if Concubine Jing has anything she likes recently?" In about ten days, it will be Xiuzhi's birthday.

It was when she picked up Xiuzhi that it was celebrated as Xiuzhi's birthday.

There has never been one before, but this year it must be a big event.

Zhang Changzai recalled what Yu Suisui liked. She liked a lot of things. She said that she was the reincarnation of a Pixiu and her favorite thing was gold.

"Gold?" After saying this, Zhang Changzai was afraid that the Queen would misunderstand and think that Yu Suisui was a materialistic and greedy person. "The Concubine Jing just likes gold ornaments. The last time I went to her place, I saw that the Queen Mother gave Concubine Jing a lot of gold ornaments."

"I guess that Concubine Jing likes gold." Zhang Changzai certainly knew that Yu Suisui liked gold, and she herself also liked gold.

Only with money can one live a good life in the palace, and only with money can one buy what one wants. If Xiuzhi hadn't given her money, how could she have a good life now?

The Empress gave her the status of the Emperor's woman, and the rest was to follow the rules of the palace. She could not blame the Empress.

But her life was really not going well. Those two months with Xiuzhi were so difficult, and it was the height of summer.

There was no ice in either of their rooms.
