Concubine Qi was indeed favored by Yinzhen. Since she entered the palace, in more than half a month, Concubine Qi had slept with him four times.

Concubine Qi also took the initiative to propose moving to another side hall of Suiyuxuan, and the Queen agreed.

That day, Yinzhen was having dinner with Xia Dongchun in the Yanxi Palace. While they were eating, Su Peisheng came in and said, "Your Majesty...something happened in Suiyuxuan."

Xia Dongchun raised her eyes, glanced at Yinzhen's expression, stood up and said, "I will accompany the emperor to take a look."

"You are pregnant, be careful not to tire yourself out." Yinzhen shook the beads twice, then reached out and gently stroked Xia Dongchun's abdomen twice.

The baby in Xia Dongchun's belly is now nearly four months old, and her belly is beginning to bulge slightly. Yinzhen looks very satisfied.

But now Su Peisheng said that something happened to Suiyuxuan, and Yinzhen was also worried.

"Just think of it as a way to help digestion." Xia Dongchun insisted, "I just want to spend more time with the emperor."

Yinzhen agreed.

So Xia Dongchun went to Suiyuxuan with Yinzhen. When they arrived at Suiyuxuan, they found that what Su Peisheng had mentioned about "the accident at Suiyuxuan" was really a big incident - Suiyuxuan had caught fire and was burned into a mess, especially the side hall where Concubine Qi lived, which had completely collapsed.

Just as Yinzhen and Xia Dongchun arrived, Concubine Qi rushed back. She was having dinner at Concubine Jing's place when she heard from a eunuch that there was a fire in Suiyuxuan.

She was so anxious that she rushed back immediately.

"What on earth is going on?" Yinzhen glanced around, frowning. When he saw Shen Meizhuang bandaging her wound, his face became even gloomier. "Is Concubine Shen okay?"

"Sister must be scared." Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meiyu with heartache and answered Yinzhen's words for her.

Concubine Qi walked up to Yinzhen and said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, how could the fire happen out of nowhere? Someone must have deliberately murdered me and Concubine Wan!"

Xia Dongchun glanced at her and reminded her, "Your Majesty, I don't know where Concubine Chun has gone. Although the fire has been controlled, I don't know if Concubine Chun is frightened. You should ask Concubine Chun first."

With this reminder, Yinzhen suddenly remembered that there was a pregnant Concubine Chun living in Suiyuxuan, and he asked about it immediately.

Su Peisheng looked at Yinzhen's expression and answered without waiting for him to ask, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun has gone to Concubine Xin's place and doesn't know about this matter yet."

Upon learning that Concubine Chun was fine, Yinzhen felt relieved and turned to deal with the fire.

"Your Majesty, the fire in Suiyuxuan was not an accident, but man-made." Zhen Huan said to Yinzhen with red eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yunzi dragged a young eunuch over and said, "Your Majesty, this man is the arsonist."

"Raise your head." Yinzhen put his hands in his pockets, frowned, and looked at the person kneeling in front of him.

The young eunuch was held down by Xiao Yunzi and raised his head.

Su Peisheng took a closer look and exclaimed, "Hey!" "Isn't this the Suxi that Yikun Gongnian promised to his friend?"

"Yikun Palace?" Yinzhen's face became even gloomier. His original plan was to give Nian a noble status and keep her in the palace as long as she behaved herself in the future. However, he did not expect that just a few days ago, noble lady Qi had just filed a complaint, and today the fire that burned down Yuxuan happened again.

How could he turn a blind eye to this?

"Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to pass on a message first," Xia Dongchun said gently, "Sui Yu Xuan cannot be occupied tonight. Since Concubine Chun is staying at Concubine Xin's place, let Concubine Chun stay at Concubine Xin's place tonight. After all, she is pregnant, so she doesn't have to move."

"Well, you are very thoughtful." Yinzhen praised him and asked Xiao Xiazi to pass on the message.

As for how to deal with Nian, Yinzhen was too lazy to care about it. He asked someone to tell the empress and let the empress handle it.

Since Suiyuxuan was uninhabitable, Zhen Huan went to Cunjutang in Xianfu Palace and squeezed in with Shen Meizhuang. Concubine Chun stayed at Xinchangzai's place. Concubine Qi rolled her eyes and said in a delicate and aggrieved voice, "Your Majesty, where should I go? I really scared you tonight."

Concubine Qi thought that if she fought hard, Yinzhen would simply summon her to sleep with him tonight, and then she wouldn't have to worry about where to stay.

But Xia Dongchun was standing right beside them. Yinzhen had originally promised to accompany her tonight. How could she tolerate Concubine Qi snatching someone away right under her nose?

He immediately said to Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, Sister Qi's worries are not unreasonable. How about this? Sister Qi originally lived in Chuxiu Palace. She moved to Suiyuxuan because of her good relationship with Wanpin. Now that Suiyuxuan cannot be lived in for the time being, there is also an empty place in Chuxiu Palace, and there is no need to clean up separately. Why not let Sister Qi return to Chuxiu Palace? Chuxiu Palace is also large, so it won't be a grievance for Sister Qi."

Concubine Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Dongchun. Her expression was not looking good, and she could no longer maintain her coquettishness.

But Yinzhen didn't look at her. Instead, he agreed with Xia Dongchun's words: "Zhaopin's words make sense. In this case, you should move back to Chuxiu Palace."

If Concubine Qi wanted to move back to Chuxiu Palace, she would not have asked the Queen to move into Suiyuxuan at that time. Wouldn't all her previous efforts have been wasted?

So Concubine Qi was naturally unwilling.

But she had no other reason to refuse, so she had to agree uncomfortably.

Xia Dongchun glanced at her, smiled slightly, and went back to the Yanxi Palace with Yinzhen.

After everyone left, Concubine Qi stamped her feet in anger and said to the little palace maid Jingtai beside her: "Do you think this Concubine Zhao did this on purpose? If she hadn't asked, why would the emperor let me move back to Chuxiu Palace?"

Jingtai quickly advised her, "Calm down, young lady. Concubine Zhao has a good family background and a high position. She has a daughter by her side and is now pregnant. It is normal for the emperor to be biased. Why should we offend her at this time? Besides, young lady, you are not much worse than her. If you get pregnant with an heir in time, are you still afraid that you will not be able to vent your anger?"

What he said made sense. Concubine Qi had a good family background and outstanding looks. She came to the palace to be a favorite concubine and bring support to the family. Jingtai's words temporarily calmed her down. Concubine Qi snorted coldly and took her people to Chuxiu Palace.
