Yin Jishan did not receive any reply from Lin Rulan, but he was not panicked at all, as he had already made preparations.

The atmosphere at today's morning court session was somewhat depressing. First, an imperial censor expressed dissatisfaction with Yinzhen's indulgence in wine and sex, his refusal to leave the palace, and his inability to care about his illness.

Then there are the Ottoman Empire and Portugal wanting to trade, but the Qing Dynasty today considers itself the Celestial Empire, so this situation must be rejected without reservation.

Halfway through the morning court session, the atmosphere had already reached a fever pitch.

Yin Jishan stood up very casually, waved his sleeves, and took out an ivory court badge.

A few glances between the accomplices around him set the pace.

"I, Yin Jishan, the Governor of Jiangsu Province, have a report to make! Someone has reported to me that Longkodo, the First-Class Duke and the current Grand Tutor, has formed a clique for personal gain and colluded with treacherous officials and rebels.

Six years ago, he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River to control floods. He accepted bribes and worked shoddily, which led to the bursting of the river mouth.

Tens of thousands of people died as a result, and three or four hundred thousand people were left homeless.

He has truly failed to live up to the emperor's grace. If he is not killed, there is no way to appease the hatred of the people of the world!"

There was a moment of silence in the court, like a bird stunned by the sound of a shrill bell and perched on a branch.

Immediately, there was a sudden noise.

Countless officials wrote letters to impeach Longkodo, harshly accusing him of failing to control floods and neglecting his duties.

Most of them claim to be subjects and are from the Jiangnan Han clan.

In the court, the ministers had different expressions. Some looked frightened, while others were whispering to each other about this sudden turmoil.

One after another, from high to low, people from all positions came out to accuse Longkodo.

Even Yinzhen's confidants began to take action. "Your servant, Li Wei, has a report to make. The evidence is irrefutable, and I have both physical and personal evidence that Longkodo, the First-Class Engineer, has colluded with the traitors."

At this time, Yinzhen's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it, and he was already furious inside.

But he knew very well that as a king he had to remain calm, and since he was sitting on a high platform, in the eyes of his ministers, he did not show any obvious emotional fluctuations on the surface.

After the court was dismissed, Yinzhen returned to the palace with a heavy heart.

Compared with the turbulent situation in the outer court, the situation in the Jinling Palace was also like a storm was about to come.

"Mrs. Chun, you must take good care of your pregnancy. After all, you are still young. By the way, it's time for you to be promoted."

Fang Chunyi ran into Yinzhen in the garden last night, ate some cakes blindly, and then had an unintentional morning sickness, successfully revealing that she was pregnant.

As for the reason, it was of course childish - without the emperor, I thought I was fat because I ate too much, and I had to prepare to lose weight.

Tong Jia Yunrong was also feeling bad at this time. After arriving in Jiangnan, the eating habits were different and she couldn't eat the whole day.

The morning sickness is really severe and I have been feeling irritable for a long time.

What's more, since he had asked Taxue to do something last time and he had contradicted him on the spot, he had been feeling angry for a long time.

Now, looking at Fang Chunyi with a happy face, and hearing the word "promotion" from Liu Hua's mouth.

The desire to find someone else to consolidate his favor became stronger and stronger, and Fang Chunyi was trembling with fear under Tong Jia Yunrong's hands.

She knew that she was on the side of Shen Meiyu and Zhen Huan, and that her absence in Jinling would take away the favor of Tong Jia Yunrong.

Even the child has taken away some of the glory of the prince in her womb. No matter what she does, Tong Jia Yunrong will not let herself go.

It’s better to break the window and speak frankly, so that you can live a happier life.

"Imperial Physician Wei has to serve Concubine Qian and Concubine An. I don't have any other imperial physicians here. I wonder which imperial physician is treating Concubine Chang?"

When asked this question, Qingyun behind Tong Jia Yunrong trembled noticeably, which was caught in time by An Lingrong.

Liu Hua's gaze was fixed on Taxue, who was holding a cup of tea, with his head slightly lowered and his eyes dull and dim.

"I don't have any other imperial physicians, so my health isn't very good right now."

Tong Jia Yunrong would never reveal her trump card to the public. She was indeed looking pale now, but others could not tell anything.

Fu Ruyin was still there, sitting at the very end, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She caressed her belly inadvertently, but unfortunately, she didn't know that Yixiu had already made arrangements for the night she served him.

It was impossible for Yixiu to let her become the next Zhen Huan. She had an ordinary family background, and she entered the palace as a noble lady, and even the title was tacitly approved by Yixiu.

"If I were to ask you, it would be better to return to the capital as soon as possible. The imperial physicians there are better.

The Emperor should be leaving in seven or eight days, so he needs to return before the Little New Year to avoid missing the ceremony."

Liu Hua didn't want to live in Jiangnan for a long time. Yinzhen had investigated everything he needed to investigate, and his fourth prince would help him investigate anything he hadn't investigated.

The longer I stayed in Jiangnan, the more rigid all of Liu Hua's arrangements seemed, as if they were deliberately presented.

"Your Majesty is a filial man. The Empress Dowager has urged you again and again, and your health is not good. It is time for you to go back.

So, Concubine Chang doesn't need to worry, there will be a good doctor in the capital."

An Lingrong's words were very insightful. If Tong Jia Yunrong had delayed in Jiangnan, it could be said that she was preventing Yinzhen from fulfilling his filial piety and was not loving himself.

After all, she knew that she was in poor health, but she still stayed in Jiangnan. It would be fine if she suffered damage, but the dragon fetus in her belly could not withstand this loss.

In the Qing Dynasty, if this isn't a lack of self-respect, then what is it?

"Your Highness Concubine Qian is right. I heard yesterday that Concubine Chang invited a master to perform a ritual.

It takes 49 days. Do I really have to stay in Jiangnan for 49 days and delay the emperor's schedule just for myself?

That's not good. We are concubines after all and we have to consider the emperor."

Tong Jia Yunrong wished that God would be merciful. She thought that if she could deal with Liu Hua openly, she would be able to deal with Fu Rujin as well.

“What Yi Chang is saying is that the concubines should consider the emperor in everything they say and do, and should uphold the virtues of women before they find any pornographic pictures in the palace.

It's not as simple as being demoted."

What Fu Rujin hates most is others distorting her academic achievements, especially outsiders like Tong Jia Yunrong who know nothing about the field.

"I dare not, and the concubines in the palace also want to reduce the burden on the emperor. The Concubine Chang is obviously not in good health and is pregnant with the prince, but she does not want to stay in the capital to recuperate, but insists on following him to Jiangnan.

Now there's this fuss about the Yangzhou Buddhist Master. Isn't this just a waste of money and a delay in the trip?

"Okay," Liu Hua smoothed things over at the right time, acting like a peacemaker.

"Yi Changzai is also considering the emperor. Concubine Chang and the emperor have a deep affection for each other, so naturally she is reluctant to let go.

But whether to stay in Jiangnan still depends on the emperor's decision. The empress dowager is old and in poor health.

The emperor's return would comfort her, instead of causing trouble and upsetting her.

What Liu Hua said was a double entendre, but Tong Jia Yunrong's face did not have the expression that Liu Hua had imagined.

Even her two trusted confidants Qingyun and Taxue were the same as usual.

Liu Hua pondered in her heart: "They are all very smart people. Could it be that Longkodo really never told her about the Eighth Master's Party?

Isn't that like marrying your own daughter off to the fire? She's fighting for the family's glory in the palace, while you're rebelling against the emperor outside the palace."
