The Destiny of Going to Hell

Ever since Qianlong had met Hanxiang once during the day, he had been itching to get close to her. The beautiful figure he caught a glimpse of was like a stone thrown into the lake of his heart, causing ripples that completely captivated him.

In the evening, he couldn't wait to go to Baoyue Tower.

In Baoyue Tower, there was a faint, almost imperceptible charming fragrance everywhere, as if it was a temptation wafting from a mysterious foreign land.

Hanxiang, wearing a distinctive Hui costume, sits quietly in front of the window, like a beautiful painting.

She neither bowed nor spoke, but just sat there in a daze, lost in her own thoughts.

Qianlong looked at this stunningly beautiful woman. Even though she was like a rose with thorns, she still made him feel intoxicated.

He walked over slowly and sat gently behind Hanxiang. When Hanxiang was about to get up, she was suddenly hugged tightly by Qianlong.

There was only a "swish" sound, and the sound of the dagger cutting through clothes was particularly harsh in the silent room.

Hanxiang reached for the dagger that had been prepared under the pillow and slashed Qianlong's arm without hesitation.

Fortunately, only a layer of skin was cut, but Hanxiang's resolute attitude instantly made Qianlong furious.

His eyes were wide open and he slapped Hanxiang hard. The crisp sound echoed in the room.

Hanxiang was beaten so hard that she saw stars and her head was buzzing. She lay dazed on the bed and didn't move.

At this time, Qianlong's heart was burning with anger, and he no longer had any sympathy for women.

After making love, Vina and Gina saw the princess and the mess on the bed, and their hearts were filled with anger burning like a raging fire.

They bit their lips tightly and clenched their fists, but they were helpless.

They took care of Hanxiang with great care, but Hanxiang was like a piece of wood without a soul, allowing them to fiddle with her, with a hollow look in her eyes, as if she had lost all hope in this world.

Qianlong returned to the Qianqing Palace with a tired look on his face. He felt a dull pain in his forehead. He frowned slightly, rubbed his forehead with his hand, and then summoned the imperial physician to see his injury.

Upon hearing the call, Imperial Doctor Hu rushed over and quickly bandaged Qianlong's wound.

Doctor Hu said respectfully while bandaging the wound.

"Your Majesty, this wound is not serious, it is just a skin injury. Don't touch water for three days, and don't eat spicy and greasy food. Wait for the wound to heal and it will be fine. Your Majesty, rest assured, I will come to change the dressing for you tomorrow."

When Doctor Hu was bandaging the emperor's wound, he already knew in his heart that it was caused by a sharp blade. He then looked at the emperor and saw that he had just returned from Baoyue Tower, and the unique smell of sexual intercourse still lingered on his body.

He knew very well that there were too many secrets in this palace. He didn't want to know, and couldn't know. After all, the more he knew, the faster he would die.

"Doctor Hu, if the Queen Mother asks, do you know what to say?"

Qianlong leaned on the bed with his eyes closed, his voice was cold and had a hint of majesty.

Doctor Hu knelt on the ground immediately and answered with his head lowered.

"The emperor's spleen and stomach have been out of balance lately, so he needs to abstain from food for a few days."

Qianlong nodded slightly, "Well, go down! Gao Yu, take a look!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

An Hui knew exactly what happened in Baoyue Tower last night.

Yongqi has become more and more outstanding in the past two years. His height has grown like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and his appearance has gradually matured. He is like an upright young poplar, full of vigor and vitality.

The relationship between mother and son was as harmonious as ever, but Yongqi no longer threw himself into her arms like he did when he was a child, and there was no more fun of kneading the little ball, which made An Hui feel a little regretful.

Early in the morning, everyone gathered in the Cining Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother. The atmosphere in the palace was solemn, and everyone stood in turn, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.

The Queen Mother glanced at everyone and suddenly remembered that the Emperor had summoned the imperial physician last night, so she started asking.

Qianlong remained calm and answered according to what Doctor Hu said.

"My dear Queen Mother, my son's spleen and stomach have been out of balance recently. Doctor Hu came to see me and told me to avoid certain foods for a few days."

An Hui quietly looked at the Fifth Prince and Xiaoyanzi who were sitting below, as well as Jinsuo who was standing stiffly behind Xiaoyanzi.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and spoke in a leisurely tone.

"Your Majesty, the oldest princes and princesses in the palace have all reached marriageable age. This year's selection will see those who are destined to be married off. If Your Majesty has a suitable candidate, please let me know."

An Hui's eyes reveal her concern and responsibility for the younger generations.

At this time, An Hui turned her gaze to Concubine Chun and gave her instructions.

"Noble Concubine Chun, He Jia has reached the age of adulthood. If you have a crush on someone, please come and let me know."

Concubine Chun saw the kindness revealed in the Queen's eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to express her gratitude.

"I believe in the Queen. She is the legitimate mother of these children and will never treat them unfairly."

"Madam, regarding Yongqi's marriage, I will obey your order!"

What An Hui meant was that he would not interfere in Yongqi's marriage, and that the decision would be entirely up to the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother was very satisfied with the Queen's tactfulness. She nodded slightly and thought to herself.

She didn't believe that the Queen would marry Yongqi to a daughter from a prominent family. She wanted to choose a satisfactory daughter-in-law for her grandson herself so that she could become a great help to Yongqi.

Yongqi was fidgeting below, looking at Xiaoyanzi from time to time.

His eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.

Seeing this, An Hui narrowed her eyes slightly and pointed out that Xiaoyanzi was a daughter in mourning.

"Your Majesty, Princess Huanzhu has passed the mourning period and is now in her prime. In a commoner's family, she would be a mother. Although Your Majesty sympathizes with her for losing her mother, you should still choose her marriage as soon as possible."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Xiaoyanzi.

Normally, no one really noticed that Xiaoyanzi was a girl in mourning.

Looking back now, Princess Huanzhu's performance in the past two years makes it difficult to associate her with an orphan girl who lost her mother and went to Beijing to look for her relatives.

She wore red and green all day long, fluttering in the palace like a colorful butterfly.

Her face was always filled with a bright smile, and her laughter was endless. She did not look sad at all for having lost a loved one.

She often played with her servants. In Shufangzhai, she played dice and mahjong with the palace maids and eunuchs. The lively scene did not look like the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, but more like a folk market.

She had been punished by the emperor several times, but she still refused to change her ways, as if those punishments were nothing but passing clouds to her.

At this time, Qianlong also recalled what Xiaoyanzi had done. A trace of doubt arose in his heart, and he looked at Xiaoyanzi sharply.

At this moment, Jinsuo suddenly rushed out, her face full of anxiety, her eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.

She knelt down in the middle of the hall with a plop and kowtowed hard. Her forehead hit the ground with a dull sound and was instantly broken, with blood slowly flowing out.

She raised her head, looked at the emperor and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, Xiaoyanzi is not your daughter. Ziwei is. Please understand!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Xiaoyanzi became extremely excited when she heard it. Her face turned red and her eyes burned with flames of anger.

She kicked Jinsuo out hard, yelling loudly.

"Father Emperor, she slandered me, drag her out and chop her into pieces!"
