After the Imperial Noble Consort consoled herself, she continued to work hard for Shunzhi and took over the internal affairs of Empress Dowager Zhaosheng. In this way, she no longer had time to bother Yu Suisui.

Over there, Empress Dowager Zhaosheng issued another imperial decree, ordering the empress not to come to the Cining Palace for a visit for three years. When Yu Suisui saw this, the thought popped into his mind that Empress Dowager Zhaosheng might have been possessed by another spirit.

You gave the Queen's internal power to the Imperial Noble Consort, and then used a palace signing form to fool the Queen. You even want the Queen's family to work for you and your son. How can such a good thing happen in this world?

When the Queen found out, she sneered. Now he doesn't even put on an act. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are indeed mother and son, yet they are both such people.

The Queen was living her own little life in Kunning Palace. Shunzhi was so anxious and irritated these days that he had several large blisters on the corners of his mouth. When Yu Suisui saw this, he almost vomited out last night's meal.

It was originally a skeleton covered with a layer of human skin, with several large yellowish blisters that were about to ooze pus. Not to mention whether it was ugly or not, it was enough to make you lose your appetite at the mere sight of it.

Shunzhi felt that he had condescended to come to Yu Suisui's place, but she was ungrateful and showed a look of disgust. He overturned the teacup on the table to the ground on the spot. When he heard the sound of the porcelain breaking, he inexplicably calmed down.

She had a brother who was brave and good at fighting. Shunzhi told himself that he had to be patient, because sooner or later he would kill all these people.

Shunzhi suppressed his temper, but finally he was defeated by Yu Suisui's wooden eyes. He had originally planned to ask Dong E to give birth to a child, but she was ungrateful, so it was not his fault.

Shunzhi sat there for another half an hour, enduring his temper, then went to Chengqian Palace in front to complain to his beloved wife.

Time flies and it is already the 17th year of Shunzhi's reign. Concubine Nianhulu, with her big belly, quarreled with the Imperial Noble Concubine twice. The Imperial Noble Concubine did not care, but the Emperor and you, the Empress Dowager, took it to heart.

This concubine Niuhulu had just given birth to a child, and not only did she have time to see the child, but she was also placed under house arrest in the palace in disguise.

The imperial concubine was so moved that she ran even faster for the mother and son. Suddenly her body couldn't take it anymore. The imperial concubine, who was already a little ill, couldn't get out of bed.

By August, the Imperial Concubine was already on her deathbed. She was reluctant to let go. She thought that God had finally given her a husband who was in love with her, so why couldn't he give her a little more time?

The Empress Dowager Zhaosheng ignored the obstruction and personally went to the Chengqian Palace of the Imperial Noble Concubine to comfort her and told her to take good care of her illness.

She also asked someone to bring her three-year-old son to her, in an attempt to arouse the imperial concubine's desire to live. However, her child, her husband, and her mother-in-law were unable to keep her, and she died in August.

Shunzhi cried uncontrollably, saying that he would be alone from now on and that he had lost his beloved forever. He even wanted to send thirty palace maids and eunuchs to be sacrificed with his Empress Xiaoxian.

Yu Suisui felt that the time had come, and when Shunzhi came to see her and talked to her about Jingshu, she tactfully mentioned their beloved son.

Without my mother in the future, I don’t know how difficult life will be in this palace.

Shunzhi understood it immediately, and then, under the disapproving gaze of Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, he dropped a huge bomb in the court, wanting to make his weak and sickly little son the crown prince.

After Dorgon knew about this, he quickly pushed forward this work. A sickly prince was meaningless to the country, and the more foolish Fulin was, the more beneficial it was to him.

When Empress Dowager Zhaosheng saw that the situation did not improve, she thought of Yu Suisui again and discussed with Shunzhi to confer the title of Zhenfei on her, nominally to take care of Empress Xiaoxian's son.

However, this child was born to the daughter-in-law that Empress Dowager Zhaosheng was satisfied with. Shunzhi had no time to take care of him, so she took the child to the Cining Palace.

But a frail and sickly child requires careful care, and Empress Dowager Zhaosheng did not want to hand over the internal affairs to the Queen, so she could only hand them over to Yu Susui and ask Su Malagu to supervise.

Yu Suisui held the power in the palace, but she did not carry out any drastic reforms. After all, she had done most of what she needed to do during the seven or eight years she had been in the palace. Now the only things left were the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng and the palace of Shunzhi.

This made things convenient for her, but a few days later Shunzhi started to make trouble. He was always worried that his beloved was suffering in the underworld, and since he hadn't sent anyone capable to take care of her, he felt very uneasy.

He started talking about it when he came to see Yu Suisui. He felt uncomfortable thinking about people in the capital saying that his sweetheart was a demon queen. Yu Suisui didn't respond.

More than a month passed, and Meigege, who lived in the outer room of the Qianqing Palace, won the favor of Shunzhi. Then a few days later, Meigege went down to accompany Empress Xiaoxian.

When Shunzhi came over and talked about this matter, he felt that Meigege was devoted to her master and her loyalty and bravery were commendable.

Yu Suisui thought that he should send Shunzhi to accompany Jingshu, so he made some arrangements in the Qianqing Palace.

Shunzhi went crazy and first threatened to become a monk in the Baohua Hall. Later, when the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng tried to stop him, that night Shunzhi left a piece of paper and swallowed gold to be buried with Empress Xiaoxian.

At this point, the rumors in the capital were so outrageous that it was rare in history for a man to commit suicide for his wife.

Especially since this man is the emperor.

Empress Dowager Zhaosheng wanted her grandson to ascend the throne safely, and taking Yu Suisui's identity and background into consideration, she came to discuss the matter with Yu Suisui.

"You are the prince's aunt. He will definitely not forget you when he grows up." Empress Dowager Zhaosheng said it nicely, but only she knew what it meant.

Yu Suisui sat on the rose chair, holding a cup of tea, gently scraping the tea with the tea lid, and said in a light tone: "What the Empress Dowager said is true, but the prince's aunt is outside the palace."

Yu Suisui would not accept the empty promises.

Empress Dowager Zhaosheng stared at Yu Suisui, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, and saw that she was calm as usual. She held her forehead with her hands, her brows furrowed, thinking that they had made a mistake.

"What do you want?" asked the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng. She thought it was a small house sparrow, but unexpectedly it was a falcon that wanted to eat meat.

Yu Suisui still maintained her nonchalant look and said, "That depends on what kind of bargaining chip the Queen Mother can offer." She would have to get the thing first before she would consider it.

Empress Dowager Zhaosheng did not speak. She was silent for a long while, then she held Su Malagu's hand and returned to her Cining Palace.

"I have been caught this time." Empress Dowager Zhaosheng sighed. Her son was not a good person. She finally got a well-behaved and polite daughter-in-law, but her life did not last long.

Su Malagu was also worried, "Princess, what does Concubine Zhen want?" She had no idea. In the past, she always thought that Concubine Zhen was a timid and cowardly person without her own opinion. But now she realized that the former was a docile lamb and the latter was a wolf that devoured sheep.

Empress Dowager Zhaosheng had some guesses, but she didn't want to give it. This hesitation put her in a more passive situation.
