Since she had no curiosity about other people in the former dynasty and the harem, Qin Liuse followed the Ninth Prince.

After all, the husband should follow the wife.

But if you don’t follow, you won’t know. Once you follow, you will know a lot of things behind the scenes.

She knew that Emperor Yongjia had a difficult childhood, but she didn't expect it to be so miserable.

At such a young age, she was like a ball, being kicked around by several concubines. Originally, she was kept under the late queen, but when the late queen passed away, she was pushed to the imperial concubine among the four concubines.

But not long after, the imperial concubine gave birth to a second prince, and the ninth prince was given to someone else.

The former Empress Dowager Cixi was only a concubine and could not support anyone, so the only one who had been with the Ninth Prince and depended on him for life was Aunt Hua.

The Ninth Prince was also strong-willed. When he was bullied, he would be stubborn and would not tell his biological mother. However, whenever others outnumbered him, he would naturally be bullied.

When she returned to her room at night, Aunt Hua applied medicine to him. Seeing the bruises all over his body, she applied medicine to him with tears in her eyes. "Your Highness, how about next time, we should just be patient and not get into conflict with others again?"

The Ninth Prince was young, but his eyes already had the sternness of an adult, yet he still had the stubbornness of a child, "They insulted my mother as a bitch, and called me a lowly child! We are all the sons of the Emperor, and since the Emperor has chosen my mother, how can he be inferior to others? I can't stand it! Aunt."

Qin Liuse looked at this appearance, and then at the expression of the Ninth Prince. She didn't know if it was because she was now a mother, but she felt her eyes getting hot.

Aunt Hua choked up and said, "But in the end, it's you who have to suffer! Otherwise, let's go find the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager is not in the palace. She has gone to the Summer Palace..."

The Ninth Prince sneered, as if he looked down upon his father. "He said that it's nothing for men to fight and play. Men need to fight and play to be manly."

The emperor has always been indifferent to these matters and only cares about the birth.

Aunt Hua shook her head, thinking of the Empress who was only a little over ten years older than the Ninth Prince and beside the Emperor. She also knew that it was useless to beg the Emperor.

"Lust can blind one's mind. One day, he will fall for this woman." The Ninth Prince said with cold eyes.

Aunt Hua quickly covered his mouth, "Children's words are innocent! Your Highness, please keep your voice down. If someone hears, it will be a disaster! That's the Queen!"

The Ninth Prince was still cold, "I'm not a child anymore, aunt, one day, I will make her be polite to me, mother and you!"

Aunt Hua smiled bitterly and rubbed the bruises for him. Although she knew that this was difficult to achieve, who wouldn't like to hear such heartwarming words in such difficult times? Just thinking about it gave her hope.

Qin Liuse, however, looked at the scene in front of her with great discomfort in her heart, because she knew that this Aunt Hua would not live to see the day when Emperor Yongjia became emperor.

……

The days in the harem passed one by one. Although the Empress Dowager Dong was favored and became the queen, the late emperor had often abused other maids and concubines who were as beautiful as flowers.

After sowing one crop after another, there would always be a few seeds left, but these seeds were ruthlessly pulled out by the queen.

The Ninth Prince naturally couldn't take care of such matters.

But when the maidservant who served him was also slept with by his father and her body showed signs of reaction, the Ninth Prince could not help but feel protective of his wife.

On this day, the maid was "invited" by the Queen to the palace for questioning and greeting. Everyone thought that the Queen wanted to hire an imperial physician to help her get a position. Only the Ninth Prince thought it was unusual when he heard from Aunt Hua that she went to the Queen.

She immediately ran to the Queen's palace, and there she saw the maid holding up the so-called pregnancy-preserving medicine given to her by the Queen and preparing to drink it.

The Ninth Prince ran over and knocked the bowl out of her hand with one hand.

With a clang, it shattered into pieces and the potion spilled all over the floor.

There was astonishment in the room. Who would dare to offend the queen who was at the peak of her power?

However, in public, the queen still pretended to be polite to the ninth prince.

So he asked him, "Ninth Prince, why are you in such a hurry? Be careful not to get hurt."

The ninth prince said angrily, "What are you going to give Chunxia to eat? She is pregnant with your father's child!" After all, he was still a child, and his tone of voice was particularly harsh.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Ninth Prince? I'm doing this to help her keep her pregnancy safe." The Queen said it as if it were the truth.

"You're talking nonsense. To keep the baby safe? Then pour yourself a bowl and eat it and show me!" the Ninth Prince questioned.

The queen smiled coldly, did not answer, and did not do what she wanted.

Chunxia was taken away temporarily, but two days later, the baby in her belly was gone.

Chunxia cried out in pain but dared not make a sound. She just bit a cotton handkerchief tightly. After a while, the bedding was soaked.

Meanwhile, in the Queen's Palace, the Queen was relieved to hear that the child was gone, but her eyes were still filled with coldness, "The child born by this bitch must also be eliminated!"

The maid was a little puzzled, "But, Queen, the Ninth Prince is so big now, I'm afraid it will be difficult." They had never gotten rid of a grown-up prince, and they always got rid of him while he was still in the belly.

Because those bitches were easy to deal with, but the grown-up princes were difficult to deal with, the queen got rid of these fetuses because she was worried that when she gave birth to a prince, there would be people of the same age competing for favor and getting in the way, so she got rid of them all.

"It has to be done no matter how difficult it is! Look at him, he doesn't look like a child at all. He is so capable and knows how to hold grudges. When he grows up, will I have a good life?" The queen said hatefully.

Qin Liuse felt a chill in her heart. She had never seen a woman miscarrying. The scene just now by Chunxia made Qin Liuse cover her mouth. She was clearly weak, but she was afraid that her cries would be heard.

-

Turning his sight, Qin Liuse saw that the Ninth Prince was locked in a dark room. It was not a firewood room, but all the windows were sealed.

Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all in it.

He was guarded outside by the Queen's men, who said that he had violated the precepts and must be punished in order to correct his crooked temper.

But the Ninth Prince's character was not twisted at all. Even if it was twisted one day, it was because of this extremely dirty harem.

Seeing how determined the queen was this time, Aunt Hua felt something was wrong and thought that she was trying to torture the Ninth Prince to death.

When she was sitting by the window thinking, Qin Liuse just wanted to walk over and tell her, it was the incense burner!

The spices in the incense burner are ostensibly used to kill mosquitoes and insects, but they are actually a chronic poison. She heard it while floating in the Queen's Palace!

What a vicious woman!

The Ninth Prince is only ten years old. No matter how smart a child of this age is, it is difficult for him to know these things.

But no matter how loudly she shouted, Aunt Hua couldn't hear her.

Qin Liuse then walked away dejectedly, almost forgetting that she was nothing and this was just a dream.

Aunt Hua couldn't figure it out, but she felt very uncomfortable watching His Highness becoming increasingly listless every day, and she thought he was sick.

He quickly asked the queen to invite the imperial physician, but the physician examined him and said that there was nothing wrong with him. He just said that it was because he had been locked up in the room for too long, so he could just take it as a way to temper his character.

Aunt Hua had no idea that this imperial physician had long been bribed by the Queen.

Others said it was okay, but Aunt Hua felt as if her heart was being boiled in a frying pan as she watched the Ninth Prince's face become increasingly ugly every day.

Qin Liuse also wanted to rush out and skin the bitch Queen Mother Dong on the spot.

But this was a dream in which she could do nothing.

After much thought, Aunt Hua had no choice but to fight to the death.

Qin Liuse didn't know what she was thinking. She just watched the day go by as usual. Aunt Hua got up, brought food to the Ninth Prince, dressed herself, and found an excuse to go out and empty the Ninth Prince's chamber pot. When she got outside, she left the chamber pot behind and ran forward desperately.

She knew that the Queen Mother had returned two days ago. Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were songs being sung in the garden, so the Queen Mother must be there.

Aunt Hua tried her best to get over there, and fortunately, the Queen Mother was really sitting there.

For a moment, Aunt Hua could not care about anything else. She bowed and immediately started talking like a pot of beans, "Empress Dowager, please save the Ninth Prince! Please save the Ninth Prince! He was locked up by the Empress, and he did nothing wrong! He has no mother to back him up, and he is the most well-behaved prince in the palace! But now he can't get out, and he is getting more depressed and uglier every day! If this continues, the Ninth Prince will probably die!"

Seeing the Queen's men coming, Aunt Hua hurriedly said, "The Ninth Prince has a bad fate. He doesn't have a prominent mother's family to support him. But he is also a member of the royal family and has royal blood. How can he live like a beggar on the street?"

The Queen Mother frowned when she heard this. She never cared about the affairs of the harem, so no one would report to her if anything happened in the harem. But she didn't expect this.

He immediately went to the place Aunt Hua mentioned. When he walked in, he saw the Ninth Prince. He was a prince, but he actually lived in such a room without sunlight. The windows were all sealed, and there was a turbid smell in the room.

The little ninth prince was lying on the bed, dying, as if he would die at any moment.

The Queen Mother was heartbroken and immediately ordered the man to be carried to Kangning Palace.

She couldn't bear to look at the queen, thinking that today was Mid-Autumn Festival, and she didn't plan to make a decision today.

Who would have thought that on August 16th, news came that Aunt Hua had committed suicide by jumping into a well.

This was naturally the Queen's work. Taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when everyone was in a state of chaos and no one was paying attention, she immediately took advantage of the night to have sex with Aunt Hua.

The late emperor was persuaded by the empress all night, and when he arrived at Kangning Palace, he naturally said to the empress dowager, "It was that servant who thought too much. The empress would never harm my child. Look, mother, that servant lied so much to send the ninth prince to you to raise, and now he has committed suicide by jumping into a well out of fear of punishment."

The Queen Mother frowned and pointed at the Ninth Prince on the bed, asking him to open his eyes and take a good look to see if he was alright...

……

Qin Liuse no longer had the heart to listen to what they were saying. She walked to the bed with a stuffy feeling in her chest and looked at the Ninth Prince lying on the bed.

How she wanted to reach out and touch his face, but she could do nothing and could only look at him with hot eyes.

But suddenly, the person lying on the bed seemed to turn into mist and gradually dispersed.

Qin Liuse was anxious and rushed over and shouted, "Your Majesty!"
