The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Qingyin returned to the palace after encountering the accident.

The secret guards who found the person also discovered the culprit. Looking at Princess Huanzhu who was still screaming in pain, they looked at each other. After all, this princess was also the master, and they were not someone they could make the decision for. They had to consult His Majesty about this matter.

"It wasn't me!" Seeing Princess Huanzhu's confession, the secret guards who stayed behind to arrest her looked at her with contempt. Princess Huanzhu was so stupid. If it really wasn't her who did it, how could she still make excuses.

On the other side, when Qianlong heard the secret guard report that Xiaoyanzi had harmed Concubine Yu, he was so angry that he smashed the ink pen in his hand into pieces.

He did feel guilty about Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake, and placed his feelings on Xiaoyanzi, but this was not a shield for her to do evil. Especially since she had directly broken through his bottom line, the heir to the throne.

Qianlong: "Li Yu"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yu endured the emperor's wrath, complaining in his heart about this pretentious Princess Huanzhu. You said that you finally recognized your relationship with the emperor and acknowledged your status as the royal heir, but now instead of enjoying your life, you have to jump back and forth on the emperor's bottom line. Now you're offending the pregnant Concubine Yu, the person you should not mess with the most. Isn't this asking for trouble!

No matter how he complained about the mentally ill Princess Huanzhu in his heart, Li Yu remained as cautious and loyal as ever in front of Emperor Qianlong.

"She actually came out to cause trouble, so she shouldn't come out anymore. Pass on my order to keep her locked up, and no one is allowed to see her."

"Also, Concubine Ling will be under house arrest until Concubine Yu gives birth, and will be fined one year's salary." He didn't believe that Xiaoyanzi had the stupid idea of harming Li'er out of thin air, especially when he had just punished her. There was something fishy behind this, and Concubine Ling was a strong suspect, but he didn't need to verify it. The suspicion was enough for him to convict her.

"Your Majesty, what about Concubine Yu?" Li Yu asked hesitantly.

Qianlong pondered for a moment. It was not a good idea to make this matter public and let Concubine Yu know about it, so he said, "In this case, just say that the thief ran too fast and was not caught. Remember to pick some more headdresses from the private storehouse and send them to Concubine Yu to comfort her."

Looking at Li Yu who was about to leave, Qianlong added, "Remember to send some more skilled eunuchs to guard Concubine Yu."

Li Yu: ...Your Majesty, have you built an iron wall around Concubine Yu's palace? You even have to send people. Any birds that fly in will be blocked by the human wall.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Yu finally left the Qianqing Palace and walked towards the Chunhe Palace.

Qingyin also soon received a report from the servants that Eunuch Li Yu had arrived.

"Can you please let the eunuch in?" Qingyin was also somewhat curious about how Qianlong would treat his adopted daughter.

Li Yu respectfully bowed to Qing Yin first, "Your servant greets the queen, may the queen be blessed with good health."

"Get up quickly, Eunuch Li Yu"

Qingyin also hinted to Alyssa to hand the prepared gold nude purse to Li Yu.

When Li Yu stood up, he naturally weighed the purse gently when he took it. Feeling its solid weight, the smile in his eyes deepened.

It's no wonder that he likes Concubine Yu so much. She is favored and generous. Anyone would be confused.

He cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor asked me to report the incident in the Imperial Garden. The thief escaped so quickly that no one has found him yet. But don't worry, Your Majesty. The Emperor has sent some people outside the palace and will definitely not let anything happen to Your Majesty."

Li Yu turned around and revealed the reward behind him.

"And your Majesty, these are all from the Emperor's good intentions. Your Majesty, please relax. That villain will not get what he deserves."

After receiving Li Yu's hint, Qingyin raised an eyebrow. Qianlong was using money to silence her for the sake of the royal family's reputation, but Xiaoyanzi's fate would probably not be good either.

But why does Xiaoyanzi dislike the fact that she is a princess? It is better to return this good thing to its original owner. She can't stand those who occupy the magpie's nest. She is really a kind and beautiful person.

Looking at the smile on Qingyin's lips, Li Yu unconsciously felt a hint of danger, but it disappeared the next second. Was he dazzled?

If the system is there, it will definitely tell him that this is the host's calculating smile, not your illusion.

Soon everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Ling had been punished. Although the reason was just an overly extravagant excuse, who would be punished so severely for such a reason? Moreover, the duration of the confinement was cleverly timed to the day after the new favorite Concubine Yu gave birth. This reason was obviously a lie. Who would believe it?

Sitting in the palace, Concubine Ling was really going crazy when she was suddenly punished. She was still thinking that she would hear good news one day, but the emperor punished her severely first. She knew that Xiaoyanzi must have taken action. Could it be that the emperor knew that she had done it? Impossible, she just said a few words casually, how could the emperor know?

"But the baby in Concubine Yu's belly can't be saved, haha," Concubine Ling's panicked expression finally showed some smug joy, and the two expressions made her face twisted and her beautiful face was completely gone. The servants in the palace were so scared that they wanted to disappear into the house.

"Lu Rou, go ask Concubine Yu."

Lu Rou lowered her head tightly, she didn't dare to let Concubine Ling see the crazy hatred in her eyes.

Looking at Lu Rou's back as she walked out, the palace maids in Concubine Ling's palace were full of envy. It was great that they wouldn't have to be beaten, even if it was just for a short while.

Lu Rou was relieved to learn from the eunuchs around her that nothing had happened to Concubine Yu. She liked Concubine Yu very much. She had seen the relaxed look in the eyes of the maids around Concubine Yu, which was not an attitude that could be shown around a ruthless person. She had also seen Concubine Yu. The way she looked at her was different from everyone else's, very gentle. She liked Concubine Yu very much. If her sister had been with Concubine Yu, she would not have died.

Lu Rou hid in a small corner of the Imperial Garden. This was a treasure land she and her sister had found. Few people came here. After her sister died, it became her own treasure land. Only here could she show her most vulnerable expression. After she went back to report, she would die. Lu Rou wanted to cry for herself before she died, as a gift to herself.

Back in the Yanxi Palace, Lu Rou numbly reported the news she had heard to Concubine Ling, which made Concubine Ling so angry that she smashed a vase on her face, and blood flowed down her face in a puddle.

"Bring the whip here." A hint of pity flashed in the eyes of the palace maid who handed the whip to Concubine Ling.

Lu Rou was not surprised at all. She lay on the ground like a dead fish.

Concubine Ling anxiously whipped Lu Rou with a rattan stick until she heard her screams and then she gradually calmed down. Looking at the little palace maid lying in a pool of blood with whip marks all over her body, she casually threw the whip covered with blood and flesh on the ground, stirring up drops of blood.
