Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

In the Cining Palace, Zeng Huan stood up and paced slowly on the ground. The clear sound of her footsteps revealed a sense of anxiety.

Fu Jia walked quickly into the Cining Palace from outside. After closing the palace door, she slowly turned around and walked step by step to Zeng Huan, bowing and saying, "Empress Dowager."

Zeng Huan nodded slightly and asked, "How's it going?"

Fujia: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. I have already had the soup that Concubine Jia sent to Baoyue Tower replaced with Jiuhan Soup. Concubine Rong also drank it. I saw with my own eyes that Doctor Qi was brought into Baoyue Tower by the palace servants."

Zeng Huan nodded with satisfaction and said, "The Emperor won't suspect the Cining Palace, will he?"

"This servant has done this in secret, your Majesty, rest assured."

To avoid trouble, Zeng Huan claimed to be ill and waived the greetings from the six palaces.

But Qixiang Palace was in trouble. Jinzhong and Jinbao, along with their guards, broke into Qixiang Palace and took away Yongxuan and Yongyan. Yuyan was at a loss and immediately chased after them, "Yongxuan... Yongyan..."

"Mother..."

Jinzhong stretched out his hand to block Yanwan's way, his eyes flashing with pride, like the summer sun, harsh and scorching.

"Jinzhong..." Yuyan glanced at Jinzhong sideways, her tone low. She raised her eyes slightly and sneered, "You little slave, who gave you the courage to snatch someone from Qixiang Palace? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor and let him chop off your head?"

Jinzhong glanced at Yuyan with a smile, his eyes full of contempt and disdain, and said with a sly smile: "Your Highness, I am here to take away the Eighth and Eleventh Princes by your order."

By order?

What did she do wrong? Why did Hongli suddenly issue such an order?

Jinzhong saw Yuyan standing there in a daze and turned to leave, but was pulled back by Yuyan.

Yuyan: "What do you mean? I am a noble daughter of the Yu family and hold the position of Imperial Concubine. Why would the Emperor suddenly order the removal of my two children?"

Jinzhong turned around and pretended to be helpless, saying, "Your Highness, I want to ask you what you did to the new master of Baoyue Tower? Did you anger the Emperor..."

Baoyue Tower?

Yuyan knew that Xiangjian was Hongli's beloved, and she couldn't avoid him, so why would she approach him and offend him? Besides, she had no obstacles ahead of her; she was only one step away from becoming empress. Why would she create trouble at this critical juncture? There must be a misunderstanding.

Jinzhong: "If your Majesty has nothing else to say, I will return to the Yangxin Palace to report."

Watching Jinzhong walk away and the children's crying gradually fading away, Yuyan wanted to chase him but was stopped by the guards.

Yuyan's eyes grew increasingly angry, and in a calm tone, she shouted at the guards, "How dare you! I dare to stop you? Don't you all want to die?"

Faced with Yuyan's verbal abuse, the guards did not dare to retort and could only let Yuyan vent her anger on them.

Under Li Xin's persuasion, Yu Yan had to go back to her room and slowly think of a solution. The main reason was that they didn't know what kind of disaster they were about to face.

The more Yuyan thought about the tone, the more abnormal her nerves became. She even started to throw things like A Ruo did before her death. The anger in her heart was finally vented, and Yuyan's physical strength was completely gone. She collapsed on the ground and wailed loudly. She had never suffered such injustice in the decades since she entered the palace. Even her words became unrestrained. "I have three princes. They grew up by my side since they were young. Why did the emperor take them away from me just like that? They are my children, and the emperor has never taken care of them..."

Li Xin also squatted down and said, "My lady, there are a lot of debris on the ground. Please get up. Be careful not to get hurt..."

Yuyan suddenly grabbed Lixin's arm and demanded, "Lixin, I have the most princes around me, four, eight, and every emperor in history has ascended the throne as the fourth prince. And since the emperor loves Yongsheng so much, there's still a chance that Yongsheng will inherit the throne, right?"

"My lady..." Li Xin was so frightened that she dared not speak. At this moment, she just felt that Yuyan was a little crazy. If these words were to reach Hongli's ears, she didn't know whether Yongsheng would fall out of favor, but Yuyan would definitely be regarded as a traitor by Hongli.

As expected, Yuyan's words were told to Hongli word for word by the spy sent by Hongli.

Hongli slammed the table and stood up, snorting coldly: "Humph, fourth or eighth? Imperial Concubine Jia's ambitions are quite big..."

Jinzhong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Concubine Jia loves her son dearly, so it's inevitable that she has some complaints against Your Majesty."

Hongli: "You love your sons so much? Since Concubine Jia complains that I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a father. Jinbao, you go and send Yongxuan and Yongyan to Shoukang Palace and let the concubines raise them."

Jinbao responded and immediately left to do his job.

Jinzhong brought a cup of tea to Hongli to calm his nerves. The previous princes were either dead or disabled, and now only Yongsheng was left with some ability. But for Yuyan and her child, Yongsheng must not stay.

Jinzhong rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's not good for Concubine Jia to be locked up like this. After all, she is a noble daughter of the Yu family. If the prince of the Yu family knew about this, he would probably blame Your Majesty behind your back and not take the Yu family seriously."

The Balin tribe left, and now the Yu clan has arrived. Do you really think Hongli is a son-in-law?

Hongli rolled his eyes. He suddenly remembered that he had received a memorial from the Yu family not long ago. The prince of the Yu family had heard that Empress Xiaoxian was very fond of Yongsheng during her lifetime. Moreover, Empress Xiaoxian only had one daughter, so this would mean that the family line would be cut off. So the prince wrote a letter, requesting Hongli to adopt Yongsheng to Empress Xiaoxian. Hongli found it ironic. If he really did so, Yongsheng would have the status of a half-legitimate son. If Yongsheng inherited the throne a hundred years later, perhaps the Qing Dynasty would no longer be named Aisin Gioro, but Jin.

Hongli would never allow such a thing to happen.

He asked Jinzhong to grind ink for him, wrote an imperial edict, and asked Jinzhong to go to Qixiang Palace to announce the edict the next day.

Yuyan has such evil ambitions that there is no guarantee that she will not corrupt Yongsheng and the others.

The next morning, Hongli had not slept all night.

After much thought, he decided to go to Qixiang Palace.

As soon as she saw Hongli, Yuyan began to kneel before him and cry, "Your Majesty, I don't know what I have done wrong. You must take Yongxuan and Yongyan away from me."

After Li Xin served the tea, she immediately stepped aside and knelt.

Hongli picked up the tea and took a sip. This was the tea tribute from the Yu family, and he was not used to it. After smelling it, he put the tea down again, but his expression remained indifferent. He said, "You really don't know?"

Yuyan shook her head.

Hongli reminded: "Rong Guiren's soup..."

Yuyan heard about Xiangjian's affairs. She was suddenly shocked. Could it be that Hongli suspected that she had poisoned Han Xiangjian?
