This matter of Yixiu is a token of loyalty from Lord Su. He will handle this matter well to gain Yixiu's trust.

But at the same time, this is also a handle for Yixiu. If Yixiu does not help Lord Su to take revenge in the future, Lord Su will hand this handle to Kangxi.

Now that an agreement has been reached, today's matter must be resolved.

Yixiu smiled gently at Lord Su and said, "Thank you for your help, cousin, in performing the play with me!"

Lord Su quickly changed his words: "Serving the Fourth Lady is my humble duty!"

Soon, the sound of porcelain breaking was heard in Yixiu's room, followed by Yixiu's loud rebuke.

"How dare you, Lord Su! You've gone too far! You, a foreign minister, actually want to see the women in the mansion!"

Then, Lord Su's righteous voice rang out: "Fourth Lady, the laws of our country are strict! Please don't be so sentimental, or I will have no choice but to report this matter to Prince Yong!"

Naturally, the huge quarrel was heard by all the servants who were waiting in the outer courtyard.

.........

"What did you say? Cuiguo, what should we do?"

Li Jingyan stroked her big belly and turned around anxiously. She used to worry every day about giving her child to Gan Ziyun after it was born.

Now I don’t have to worry about this matter, but bigger troubles are coming.

Borjigit died, and before her death, she was involved in such an incident.

As for the rumors at the beginning, Li Jingyan couldn't help but slap himself when he thought of this. How could he be so stupid!

He thought it was something nice, and not only did he not stop it, he hinted to the people around him to spread it widely. He had heard from the servants in the mansion that a certain Su was the most strict and would not tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. If he found out about this matter.

Cuiguo held Li Jingyan back and advised, "Princess, don't be anxious. Didn't people outside say that the concubine didn't agree to marry the man surnamed Su? Besides, you're still pregnant, and you're our prince's concubine. How can he, an outsider, just go and see you whenever he wants? He really thinks the royal rules are child's play!"

Li Jingyan had no choice but to tell the truth, "Cuiguo, actually we met the day before Borjigit passed away, and she told me..."

Cuiguo:!!!!!!

what?

It's such a big deal, why are you telling me now? My master, you...

Li Jingyan held Cuiguo and said with a tearful voice, "What should I do now? I had a quarrel with my master some time ago. If they find out, the emperor will be furious and will punish me!"

Cuiguo was smarter than Li Jingyan. She thought about it and finally said with a cruel heart: "Gege, now that things have come to this, you can only ask the Fourth Lady for help. She is the only one who can save you now!"

When Li Jingyan heard that it was Yixiu, he became frightened and resisted very much.

"Cuiguo, I'm pregnant now. Fu Jin might think I'm a thorn in her side. She's hoping something bad will happen to me. How could she possibly save me? If I give her this evidence, will I still be able to survive?"

Cuiguo was so anxious that she didn't care about the master or the servant.

"My dear Princess, can you please use your brains? Your wife already has a legitimate son, and he is highly valued by our Prince and His Majesty. Your concubine is pregnant, and we don't even know if the baby you're carrying is a boy or a girl. Why would she want to go after you?"

Li Jingyan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

But why am I so resistant to Yixiu?

Li Jingyan finally realized that she had fallen into Wu Rihan's trap. Wu Rihan always said to her intentionally or unintentionally how auspicious and noble his baby was, and how much Yixiu hated him.

Thinking of this, Li Jingyan burst into tears, "Cuiguo, how could Borjigit be so mean? She's dead, and now she's dragging me into this!"

Cuiguo had no choice but to hug Li Jingyan in her arms and said to her like she was coaxing a child, "Princess, I think our wife is kind and generous. As long as you don't deliberately offend her, she won't do anything to you. I have been serving you since I was a child and I won't harm you. Let's go and apologize to the wife!"

With Cuiguo's persuasion, Li Jingyan stopped crying, dressed neatly and went to see Yixiu.

Yixiu was waiting for her. Now all the evidence has been prepared. With the addition of Li Jingyan as a witness, it can be proved that Wu Rihan deliberately plotted and committed suicide out of fear of being exposed.

Li Jingyan cried and told Yixiu the truth. Looking at the silly Li Jingyan, Yixiu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

This idiot was sold and still counting money for others!

Yixiu first scolded Li Jingyan a few words, and then confined her to her own yard.

She went to find the Fourth Prince to discuss the matter. After learning the whole truth, the Fourth Prince was helpless.

"It seems that this matter was really planned by Wu Rihan and Lao Ba. This Li is really stupid! When her child is born in the future, you must not let Li raise him personally. I really can't imagine what this child will be like."

Lord Su quickly sorted out all the evidence, gave a copy to Kangxi first, and made a backup in the Ministry of Justice.

Thanks to his caution, the portion sent to Kangxi disappeared inexplicably before it reached Kangxi's table. Everyone knew who did it.

However, this also confirmed the crimes of the Eighth Prince and others.

It was originally thought that after such a big incident, Kangxi would severely punish the Eighth Prince, but unexpectedly, Kangxi only had him severely beaten with a stick, fined him a year's salary, and killed several of his entourage.

Yixiu knew that this was the emperor's balancing act. The Fourth Prince had been in the spotlight too much recently. If the Eighth Prince was suppressed by him again, he might threaten the Crown Prince's position one day.

The imperial family is the most ruthless!

After Mongolia learned the truth, it stopped talking about the matter.

I heard that the old Mongolian prince got very angry and declared that he would never care about these bad things again. He is so old and is about to lose his integrity in his later years.

Gan Ziyun was wronged in this matter, so Kangxi and Defei gave her a lot of rewards, and the Fourth Prince even personally accompanied her for two days to show his comfort.

Although Li Jingyan also made a mistake, firstly, she was deceived, and secondly, she was pregnant after all, so she was just given a simple scolding and that was it.

After this incident, the palace was peaceful and the second and third princes were born one after another.

The second prince was given the name Hongpan, and the third prince was given the name Hongshi.

As spring passed and autumn came, Honghui grew up. Because Yixiu often brought him into the palace, Kangxi always doted on this grandson.

He is already over three years old. These days, Kangxi has been intentionally or unintentionally wanting to bring Honghui to the palace and raise him personally.

After all, the crown prince was deposed again, and Kangxi was old, so he naturally wanted someone to accompany him.
