No matter how much pain she felt in her heart, the queen could only use all her strength to make her expression look less ugly, and praised against her will: "The emperor is kind, and Concubine Lan is thoughtful. Concubine Yu and the fifth prince will be very happy when they know this."

"I will order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair the Zhongcui Palace."

"The queen is thoughtful." Yinzhen praised indifferently, and then said: "The three brothers can study together, and they can also have competition and comparison, so that one person will not make no progress at all."

Anyone with good eyes could tell that Yinzhen was talking about the third prince Hongshi. As the third prince's biological mother, Concubine Qi was sad and anxious, and hurried to defend the third prince: "Your Majesty, the third prince said yesterday that he would study hard and share your burden."

"The fact that he doesn't make me angry is already sharing my burden." Yinzhen replied impolitely, pointing his finger at the table, his tone calm and serious, without losing the majesty of an emperor.

"Hongshi is already so old, but he worries me more than the three-year-old Hongxing. He is really going backwards as he grows older. It's all in vain."

Feeling the unfriendly gazes from the Queen and Concubine Qi, Ye Bingshang chatted and laughed with Yinzhen as if nothing had happened, "It's natural. Hongxing is young and only knows how to play and eat snacks all day. Even so, he was made to cry by the Emperor a few days ago, and I coaxed him for most of the day."

She knew that proposing that Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince and their son return to the palace would cause dissatisfaction among the Empress and Concubine Qi, but she just wanted to muddy the waters.

Later, there were the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince, two princes who were close in age to the Third Prince and studied with him. The gap in age became larger, and the Queen could no longer focus all her attention on dealing with Hongxing.

The return of Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince to the palace has been decided. Su Peisheng has always been efficient and thorough in his work. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had just finished cleaning up and repairing Zhongcui Palace when Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince arrived.

Concubine Yu knew that she was not favored in the palace because of her plain appearance. She also had bad luck. When she became pregnant with the fifth prince, the Empress had just been promoted from concubine to principal wife, and she needed a child to be born in the palace to show her virtue.

But the Fifth Prince was born weak and sickly, and Yupin didn't know whether it was her and her son's fate or someone in the palace was plotting against them. After that, she became more cautious and voluntarily stayed in the Old Summer Palace with the Fifth Prince to recuperate and avoid everyone's attention.

Unexpectedly, there would be a day when she would be promoted and return to the palace. Concubine Yu was used to doing everything by herself in the Old Summer Palace, and she did the same after returning to the palace. She personally cooked the medicine and served it to the Fifth Prince.

Concubine Yu looked worried: "I don't know whether returning to the palace this time will be a blessing or a curse."

The Fifth Prince drank the medicine in one gulp, stuffed a sweet date into his mouth, and said vaguely, "I heard that it was Concubine Lan who suggested that we return to the palace with Fourth Brother. Does Mother have any relationship with her?"

"I haven't even seen him." Concubine Yu shook her head, feeling very confused. "Let's take it one step at a time. We don't want to do things that are not ours. Don't try to be the best in school. The Queen regards the Third Prince as her adopted son. You can't surpass him."

"Don't worry, mother. I'm not willing to be asked to study hard. With my current body, I can only be an idle prince or a beile." The Fifth Prince was very clear and thorough in his statement.

Concubine Yu: “…” She was relieved, but still couldn’t be happy.

After that, the palace was peaceful for a while. Concubine Yu and the Fifth Prince only wanted to protect themselves and didn't get close to either side. They even declined Concubine Xin's advances because they were worried that the Queen would suspect that she was building up her power.

It was not until the previous dynasty that Guaerjia Emin took the evidence revealed by Ye Bingshang and reported that Zhen Yuandao had secretly accepted the guilty minister of the Baiyi tribe and had a daughter with him. This girl was the dowry maid of the deposed concubine Wanpin, and now the princess Huanbi of Prince Guo's mansion.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Isn't it to cover up his own crimes by using his daughter as a maid? He made the illegitimate daughter of his concubine serve his legitimate daughter as a slave for more than ten years. Even an animal would not do such a thing that is worse than that of an animal.

When this incident came out, many civil and military officials who valued family ties and respectability were shocked, and they came forward to impeach him: "Zhen Yuandao's actions are not only morally deficient, but also deceiving the emperor and being disloyal to the court. Please let the emperor make the decision."

Deceiving the emperor and disobeying superiors is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan. Simply sending the entire family to exile in Ningguta is too light a punishment.

Yinzhen suppressed his anger, feeling that his face was humiliated because of Zhen Yuandao and Zhen Huan. And Huanbi was even allowed to enter the palace and had been under his nose for so many years, and even became the princess of his seventeenth brother.

What kind of vision does the Seventeenth Brother have? Does Zhen Huan know about this? What does Zhen Yuandao want to do? He knows that this is a shameful illegitimate daughter, but he still swaggers into the palace. Does he want to die so much? !

Yinzhen took a few deep breaths to steady his breath, and said angrily, "I am deeply saddened by the situation among my ministers. I want to prevent the same thing from happening again. I am determined to thoroughly investigate and clean up the mess. I hope you will not disappoint me."

You like to laugh at the royal family's jokes, right? Let's see if you can still laugh. Yinzhen deliberately took advantage of the situation to clean up the corrupt officials whom he had long disliked.

The ministers who had just passionately rebuked Zhen Yuandao were dumbfounded. We asked you to severely punish Zhen Yuandao, but how can you investigate us? Are you still reasonable?

Yinzhen used the reason that Zhen Yuandao's matter involved Prince Guo and put it aside for the time being.

In Yongshou Palace, Ye Bingshang stood in the corridor, her eyes grim, and she trimmed the flowers and plants gently, "How is it going?"

Yu Gu, who was standing by the side, replied, "Guarjia Emin is a person who is eager for quick success and is determined to kill Zhen Yuandao's family. Lord Shen sent someone to stir up trouble, and Emin made the matter a big fuss. Now everyone in the capital knows about it."

"That's good." Ye Bingshang dropped the scissors. "If Huanbi and Zhen Huan knew about this, they would definitely be restless. I think Prince Guo would definitely seize the good opportunity I've given you."
